405: Chapter 448 All done! All upgraded!

"Hey! This Little Mouse orders you all to stand tall!!"

Three Hairs was the first to act.

At its command, the earth within thirty meters rumbled and rose up, forming a wall of soil.

It was thirty meters thick and fifteen meters high.

"This Muscle Man is Qin Shi Huang, send money!!"

As Jingang spoke, another earthen wall rose from the ground.

"Wahahaha! Lord of the Land, this poor crocodile needs to take over your land for a bit, please forgive me."

"Get up for This mother, or else This mother will perform a Death Roll on you."

"Oh my! I can feel the grass on the ground smiling at me now, I don't even dare to eat grass anymore..."

"Dairy Cow Mom, you can close your eyes while eating, that way you won't see the grass smiling at you," Leopard Mom suggested with a smile.

As the sisters chatted and laughed, walls of earth rose one after another.

Inside the Bamboo Village, savages and animals from all directions simultaneously used An Ke's [Share] function.

In an instant, the Bamboo Village was surrounded by thick earthen walls.

Just as the earthen walls rose, the attack from the Speedy Snow Rabbits arrived.

The leading rabbit was the first to strike the earthen wall, instantly exploding into a mist of blood.

The violent self-detonation caused the earthen wall to shake violently, simultaneously forming a huge hole with spreading cracks.

However, it did not shatter the earthen wall.

"Haha! Success bird!!"

Three Hairs steadied its body amidst the violent shaking, then looked at the bloody mist below the earthen wall.

Although the earthen wall was battered, it had successfully withstood this attack.

Oufu, Kata, and the other contestants watched all this, their expressions gradually being replaced by joy.

"It worked!"

"Haha! These earthen walls successfully blocked the Beast Attack!!"

"Great! We don't have to die!"

"I thought we were definitely dead this time."

"Lord An Ke has created a miracle once again!!"

"..."

Kata and Oufu were incredibly excited—the excitement of escaping death.

Because of their excitement, they didn't even have time to be shocked by the animals summoning earthen walls.

With one successful defense, there was no need to watch the subsequent attacks; all could be declared successful.

In an instant, explosions rang out one after another outside the earthen walls. Although the sound of the explosions was piercing, the Bamboo Village was completely unharmed.

Outside, in the live broadcast room.

The Foreigners witnessed the whole process and were all dumbfounded.

"What's going on? H-how can they still summon earthen walls?"

"F...k!! Is that bastard An Ke cheating again?"

"..."

In the eyes of the Foreigners, it was a certain-death situation, yet An Ke had unexpectedly turned it around by force.

They were incredibly unwilling and cursed frantically in the live broadcast room.

Above the Moon, in the Control Room.

Number 1379 almost jumped up, but fortunately, it immediately remembered that the Noble Lords were present and managed to forcefully restrain its excitement.

This robot knew that this guy An Ke would definitely be able to cheat again!!

He definitely wouldn't die.

In the darkness beneath the Chief Steward's long sleeves, its fist clenched.

Beautifully done!

An Ke was a prospect it had selected.

Whether it could continue to be promoted from the position of Chief Steward depended entirely on An Ke.

It had originally thought it would have to continue picking prospects in the vast National Fortune Game, but it hadn't expected An Ke to turn the tide once again.

"Why?"

In the back, Qieno couldn't understand. "Since when could An Ke control the earth element?"

"Just how many more abilities does this guy have that we don't know about?" Noble Fude said in disbelief.

He had originally thought An Ke had already shown his full strength and had no more tricks left.

He hadn't expected the other party to still have something hidden.

"It doesn't seem to be controlling the earth element..." Noble Dainike's feminine voice rang out.

"Exactly! Judging from An Ke's words just now, he made the earth element have an affinity with him." Noble Tik nodded, then smiled and said:

"Which is the so-called making friends."

"What kind of god-tier 'making friends' is that! This guy clearly didn't have this ability before... and he hasn't even obtained a transcendent gene core." Noble Fude could not remain calm.

"The key is that he also let the animals around him possess this new ability of his..." Qieno's voice was low.

"Didn't An Ke say just now? He was waiting for a function to cool down. I assume the function he spoke of is the reason the animals gained the new ability..." Dainike guessed.

Then it chuckled: "Can we finally understand some of An Ke's secrets?"

"He has a function to Share abilities with animals.

This function can only Share one ability, but it can be replaced. When replacing it, there is a time limit..."

"As for why An Ke constantly has new abilities, I assume that special thing on him can give An Ke a new ability after a period of time."

"I think the same as you, Dainike." Tike smiled, very excited.

It had favored An Ke to begin with, and the fact that the other party hadn't died was naturally something worth being happy about.

Furthermore, they finally had a bit of a clue regarding the secret about An Ke that had always made them curious.

As long as there were clues, it believed they could soon fully understand the special nature of An Ke's body.

In the broadcast.

An Ke watched the rabbits continuously crashing into the earthen walls, and slowly let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

Fortunately, he made it in time.

If the cooldown of the [Share] function had been any slower, he really would have had to give up on the Bamboo Village.

Once they exploded into the crowd, his remaining seven revival coins definitely wouldn't have been enough.

And just as An Ke was thinking about these things, a voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

It was the voice belonging exclusively to his golden finger:

["Natural Affinity" Upgraded!

Current level: 7. Estimated time until next upgrade: 6 days.]

"Huh???"

An Ke's pupils dilated suddenly, and a storm of shock rose in his heart.

Natural Affinity upgraded?

What the hell?

When he checked yesterday, it still needed more than nine days.

How did it suddenly upgrade today?

An Ke seriously suspected he had misheard, and he hurriedly looked at the golden finger panel.

["Natural Affinity" Current Level: Lv.7.

Estimated time until next upgrade: 6 days.]

It... it really upgraded?

And the time until the next upgrade is only about six days?

Holy shit! Did Natural Affinity glitch?

It wasn't to be blamed that An Ke was so surprised.

This situation was like when playing a game, your character levels up for no apparent reason.

Fine, it leveled up, but after leveling up, the required experience points actually decreased.

The first instinct would naturally be to suspect a bug.

An Ke forced himself to calm down, and at the same time, he didn't show too much joy.

Since Natural Affinity had upgraded, what about the [Share] function?

At this moment, the corners of An Ke's mouth were harder to suppress than an AK-47. He hurriedly looked at the [Share] function:

["Share" Current Level: Lv.2.

Estimated next upgrade time: 14.6 days.]

[Next animal to be endowed with attributes: Tiger Mom (Siberian Tiger).

Divinity +20 points.

Time until endowment: 1.8 days.]

All set!!

The time for all functions of the golden finger had been shortened across the board.

If he weren't on a live broadcast, An Ke felt he could laugh at the sky for more than ten minutes.

Maybe tonight wasn't his unlucky day, but his lucky day.

And when An Ke thought of these self-destructing rabbits, his eyes couldn't help but move.

Could this anomaly of the golden finger be related to this Beast Attack?

...

An Ke felt it was very likely.

When he previously entered the Giant Forest, the upgrade time for Natural Affinity was greatly shortened.

And tonight, encountering an attack from Transcendent Creatures very likely led to a further shortening of the Natural Affinity upgrade time.

An Ke immediately looked at those self-destructing rabbits.

At that moment, a self-destructing rabbit happened to crash into the earthen wall, causing a violent explosion.

At this time, a panel appeared in An Ke's eyes:

[Name: Speedy Snow Rabbit.]

[Level: Level 20 (10+10)]

[Speed: 400 points, possesses a special self-detonation ability.]

"Speedy Snow Rabbit?" An Ke blurted out subconsciously, then froze on the spot.

I can see the panels of other animals now?

Is this a new ability after the upgrade of Natural Affinity?

Level 20?? Isn't this level too high?

And what does the (10+10) after 20 mean?

"Speed 400 points..." An Ke clicked his tongue inwardly. No wonder these dead rabbits ran so fast.

They almost catch up to Three Hairs' hardness...

While An Ke was thinking about the attribute panel he saw, Above the Moon, in the Control Room.

A shocked emoji appeared on Number 1379's screen. It turned its head to look at the Chief Steward:

"Lo-Lord, did you hear that just now?"

"An-An Ke said the name of the animals in this Beast Attack!!"

"There's no such creature on Blue Star."

However, the Chief Steward did not respond, because it was also shocked by the name An Ke had suddenly blurted out.

How did An Ke know?

In the back, the Nobles were equally astonished.

"An Ke can see the attribute panels of animals?"

Qieno's head was full of question marks.

"Do you think there's a possibility..." Fude murmured, "that An Ke just happened to say the name of the Beast Attack animals by coincidence?"

"Impossible..." Noble Dainike said categorically. "He stated the precise 400-point speed attribute of the Speedy Snow Rabbit."

"No way... even we can only learn the precise attributes of animals through the Control Room. How did he know?"

Qieno felt like his whole being was not right.

"Tike, didn't you say you understood An Ke's secret a bit?"

"Tell me, what's going on here?" Fude turned to look at Tike.

He wasn't mocking; he genuinely wanted to know the answer.

Tike calmed the rising and falling of his chest. He let out a long breath and slowly said:

"I suddenly feel like I have no clue again."

He had originally felt he was about to touch An Ke's secret and would soon be able to uncover it.

However, An Ke's sudden suspected ability to see the precise attributes of animals completely baffled Tike.

Wait! How did you, a creature from a low-level civilization, manage to do something only a supercomputer can do?

Could it be that you have a supercomputer just like the one in the Control Room hidden on you?

It was originally just a complaint, but Tike soon froze.

Under the gorgeous mask, his eyes flickered frantically.

Tike hurriedly looked at the other Nobles and said word by word: "Do you think it's possible... that An Ke has a supercomputer exactly like the one in the Control Room on him?"

The other Nobles couldn't help but freeze upon hearing this.

"Ti-Tike, are you crazy, or am I crazy?" Qieno couldn't help but say.

"..."

In the broadcast.

An Ke did not know that his casual words had caused such a violent reaction from the Nobles behind the scenes.

At this moment, he was undergoing a brainstorm.

Now An Ke felt ninety percent certain that the sudden shortening of the golden finger's upgrade time was related to tonight's Beast Attack.

When entering the game from Blue Star, Natural Affinity upgraded very quickly.

After that, the upgrade speed became slower and slower until the second stage opened and he entered the Giant Forest.

The upgrade speed of Natural Affinity accelerated again.

The difference between the island and the Giant Forest lay in the fact that if there was a level ranking, the former was definitely lower than the latter.

Now that high-level Level 20 animals had appeared in the Beast Attack, the upgrade speed of Natural Affinity naturally accelerated.

It seemed he should look for more high-level animals and plants in the future, as this could quickly increase the upgrade speed of the golden finger.

An Ke couldn't help but smile: "It would be best to have a Beast Attack like tonight's every night."

Not only could it make the golden finger upgrade faster, but it could also supplement food.

The Locusts had all been dealt with; some were killed, and a considerable number were tightly bound by spider silk, unable to move.

These were all pure food resources. Even if Old Crocodile and the others didn't eat them, they could be fed to the livestock, reducing a large amount of resource consumption.

In An Ke's mind, a blueprint for a Locust breeding base had already formed.

He planned to give the blueprint to Ghost Face and the others the day after tomorrow, with the Golden Silk Spiders responsible for breeding the Locusts.

After all, Ghost Face and the others' "Textile Factory" didn't need to make clothes all the time, so they had time to breed Locusts.

Restraining his wandering thoughts.

An Ke looked around; the Beast Attack wasn't over yet.

However, he no longer needed to worry.

It was enough to have the animals and savages defending.

If an earthen wall was smashed, then summon a new one to continue the defense; anyway, there was as much earth element as needed.

Seeing that he wasn't needed for the moment, An Ke simply began to study what functions had been added after the [Share] upgrade.

He soon understood it completely.

Level 2 [Share] added a fixed shared ability "slot."

Once an ability was placed in this "slot," it could not be changed.

In other words, it was fixed.

The other "slot" had not changed and could still be replaced.

The cooldown time when replacing it also had not decreased.

An Ke couldn't help but click his tongue. It had upgraded, yet the CD hadn't decreased. Was this reasonable?

"Fine, fine!"

Adding a slot was already quite good.

"Since it's fixed, I should carefully consider what skill to put in for the highest cost-effectiveness..."

An Ke stroked his chin, murmuring silently to himself, lost in thought.

[Telekinesis], [Portable Space], and the currently shared ability were all very good.

They could greatly increase the upper limit of the animals.

Even animals that hadn't been endowed with abilities would have a means of self-preservation.

After a bout of mental struggle, An Ke finally decided to choose [Portable Space].

Because [Portable Space] had an important use that other abilities didn't have, which was transmitting messages.

For example, just like how An Ke and Three Hairs could communicate before.

If it hadn't been for the ability to communicate in a timely manner, Three Hairs and Oufu would have already returned some distance towards the island.

Otherwise, An Ke probably wouldn't have been able to arrive in time to make the Indians and Philippines stop decisively.

In that case, Three Hairs would have fallen into the hands of the Indians and Philippines, and Oufu would have surely died.

Similarly, after finishing the Camp's affairs, An Ke would go to explore the Giant Forest.

With the [Portable Space] ability fixed, if something happened here at the Camp...

Then the animals here at the Camp could notify An Ke, and if there was danger, he could return immediately.

No longer hesitating, An Ke decisively placed the [Portable Space] into the fixed slot for sharing...

...
