410: Chapter 454 New National Fortune Items!

The Foreigners were fuming, especially South Korea.

They originally thought they could get second place, but they didn't expect to miss out on even that.

"This is so unreasonable!"

"The Dog Tycoon is just staying with An Ke; that's Dragon Country's territory. How can it count as their Camp?"

"Exactly! The Dog Tycoon shouldn't be included in the [Beast Attack] rankings at all!"

"It's not that they can't be included, but shouldn't there be a Beast Attack?"

"If White Goose hadn't come over, there would have only been one Beast Attack last night. This is fundamentally unfair."

"..."

It was no wonder the Foreigners were angry.

Because the Dog Tycoon was suddenly included, they occupied a ranking spot, causing everyone else's rank to drop.

Who would be willing to accept that?

"Last night's Beast Attack was clearly intensified because our Kata was there."

"One Beast Attack was worth two."

The Dog Tycoon was no pushover and immediately stepped up to argue.

Moreover, their arguments were well-founded.

Those self-destructing rabbits from last night—no other nation could have withstood them.

Jin Xiaoxiao, who possessed the S-rank [Overwhelming Thunder], was very strong, but no matter how strong he was, how many rabbits could he defend against at once?

He still hadn't mastered his abilities very well; ten rabbits would probably be enough to give him a run for his money.

As for the contestants from other nations, there was no need to even mention them; mechanical dogs and drones couldn't even compare.

[Second Place: Dog Tycoon. Reward: 50 wetlands of 50 hectares each, all citizens' attributes increased by 5 points, lifespan increased by 1 year.]

As soon as the rewards were announced, the people of the Dog Tycoon nation rejoiced.

"Haha! As expected, clinging to Big Brother Dragon's leg feels great."

"We're definitely being carried to victory!"

"Follow Big Brother Dragon Country, and you'll eat nine meals in three days!"

"..."

Many Foreigners couldn't stand it anymore, frantically bashing the Dog Tycoon for being shameless and not knowing the meaning of independence.

If they continued like this, they would sooner or later become a vassal of Dragon Country.

However, the Dog Tycoon didn't care at all.

Since the Old King stepped down and the Second Prince took office, the influence of Dragon Country and An Ke in the Dog Tycoon nation had reached a new level.

What was so bad about being a vassal?

If they could, they would want to directly become a part of Dragon Country.

The Dog Tycoon's words made the Foreigners gnash their teeth in frustration.

They felt like their full-strength punch had hit a block of tofu; it was infuriating.

The announcement continued:

[Dog Tycoon contestant Kata has obtained 5 'all-purpose upgrade cards', 5 'blue energy particles', and 1 B-rank 'Stamina Recovery Technique · transcendent gene core'.]

In the live broadcast room, Kata had a look of pleasant surprise. "Fantastic!"

"I want to give all these rewards to His Excellency An Ke!"

Kata was very happy because this way he could compensate An Ke.

His words made many Foreigners so angry they immediately quit the Dog Tycoon live broadcast room.

But some Foreigners persisted, shouting about unfairness in the Dog Tycoon nation.

"In that case, isn't it equivalent to Dragon Country having two sets of rewards?"

"Official!! Come out and tell us if this is fair!"

"If An Ke arranges for contestants from other nations to stay in his Camp and promises that their nations can get rewards..."

"While the individual rewards are given to An Ke, wouldn't that be a monopoly?"

"Exactly!"

Above the Moon, Control Room.

"Can't these guys complaining use their brains for once? They could do the same thing themselves."

"As long as their strength allows it, they can completely follow suit."

The Noble Fama was fuming.

Unfortunately, He currently had no authority to control the [Game], and could not even manage a simple reply.

Otherwise, He would definitely have blasted these guys who only knew how to complain.

"Wait!" Fama's voice was low.

"I can kill these barking fools in the real world."

"Since we've completely lost control over the [Game] anyway, why care so much?"

Thinking of this, Fama intended to take action.

As a God-level Civilization being, killing these barking humans would be incredibly easy.

However, He was eventually stopped by the other nobles.

Because the Joint Committee had issued a new announcement: no interference with the civilizations behind the [National Fortune Game] contestants in the real world.

They were afraid the [Game] might undergo new changes again.

This existence from a higher level made even their God-level Civilization very wary.

The announcement continued:

[Third Place in this Beast Attack Challenge: Sun Never Sets.]

The Kimchi Country contestants were completely stunned.

They weren't even in the top three.

Clearly, with over 70% completion before, they would have easily secured second place, right?

Are the National Destiny Bearers from other nations so capable now?

The Sun Never Sets contestants' Camp was the most special, a Level 2 castle manifested by a [core].

Relying on four heavy machine guns and the recently acquired [hot weapon core], the Sun Never Sets contestants resisted this Beast Attack.

However, they paid with the lives of two contestants for it.

"Sigh! Third place can be considered a consolation for the brothers who sacrificed themselves," the Sun Never Sets contestant Shelby said with downcast eyes.

"Yeah, if they knew, they could surely rest in peace," the other contestants echoed.

"With this reward, we can repair the castle."

"It's a pity the nation was hit with a penalty."

"..."

Despite taking a reward, the penalty inflicted on their nation made them feel like they had suffered a huge loss.

However, the following reward caught the Sun Never Sets contestants' eyes, filling them with surprise.

To be more precise, the citizens of the surviving nations were all very pleasantly surprised.

Because a new [national destiny item] appeared in the rewards—

[Penalty Offset Card].

With this [national destiny item], they wouldn't have to fear the accidental death of a contestant, as it could be offset.

There was another incredibly heaven-defying point to this [national destiny item]: it could also offset penalties that had already been enacted.

Collapsed land could be restored, halved resources could regenerate, and the ten thousand penalty creatures that had appeared would vanish.

And humans who died because of this penalty could also be reborn.

In the Bamboo Village, the White Goose Contestants were extremely excited.

"We have a chance to save those compatriots who died because of the penalty!"

"Fantastic! This is the best news I've heard today."

"..."

In last night's [Beast Attack Challenge], several of the White Goose Contestants who stayed behind were sacrificed.

Naturally, a penalty had also hit White Goose.

This matter had left the current group of White Goose Contestants depressed; no one knew if their own relatives had been caught in the crossfire and died.

Now, with the appearance of the new [national destiny item], they saw hope.

In the Bamboo Village, An Ke picked at his ear, not showing much emotional fluctuation.

After all, Dragon Country didn't need it.

As for whether the Wa Country would use this item to come back to life, An Ke didn't worry about it at all.

All the Wa Country contestants were gone; what would they use to obtain [national destiny items]?

An Ke stood up; he planned to wash up and then go see Aman.

With the underfloor heating system, he wondered if it had woken up from hibernation yet.

He hadn't heard that fellow call him 'Boss' for a long time; he actually missed it quite a bit.
