530: Chapter 578 The First Flag Acquired!

Inside the live broadcast.

An Ke exhaled a long breath and said to Little Roman and Fungus Kuku:

"If you want to leave, I won't stop you."

"However, I hope you'll stay, because I believe I'll eventually have the power to rewrite the ending where we're forced to kill each other."

An Ke thought of his "golden finger."

He had tested it before; his golden finger stood above [[The Game]].

If so, did that mean once he raised his level high enough, he would gain new abilities to resolve the situation where [[The Game]] only allowed a single champion?

For instance, by forcibly incorporating Fungus Kuku and the Roman sisters into the Blue Star Civilization, or using some special method to block [[The Game]] from erasing them and their respective civilizations...

Unfortunately, everything was still uncertain. It wasn't that An Ke didn't trust the system, but he wasn't sure how high the level of [Natural Affinity] needed to be to possess such miraculous power.

"Damn it!" An Ke gritted his teeth inwardly.

If he ever met the operator behind [[The Game]] in the future, if An Ke had the strength, he would definitely give them a few slaps.

Not only did they make the rules of [[The Game]] so disgusting, but they also dared to peep at him several times before?

If Number 1379 knew what An Ke was thinking, it would surely cry out in protest.

That was clearly surveillance, not peeping! Besides, it couldn't set the rules; they were generated by [[The Game]] itself during operation.

"If in the end I'm powerless to change the situation where we must kill each other..."

"...I have another method that might exploit a bug in [The Game] rules."

"But I can't say it now, and I can't be sure if this method will keep us safe. It involves some risk."

"So, whether to stay or leave, the choice is yours."

The bug exploit An Ke mentioned was to have the Blue Star Civilization, the Fungus Race, and the Thousand Changes Race all possess the same number of flags, tying for first place.

[[The Game]] existed to filter out a final winner; it couldn't possibly erase all three civilization representatives, could it?

If it did, what would be the point of the Elimination Round up to now?

Of course, these were just An Ke's conjectures without any actual evidence. What if [[The Game]] really was that disgusting?

As for why he couldn't say it...

An Ke didn't want other civilizations to start teaming up as well once they learned of his idea.

The more chaotic the situation, with opponents killing each other in a mess, the better it was for An Ke.

"Heh~" Little Roman chuckled, covering her mouth.

"Master, I'm already your possession. How could I ever leave you?"

"This humble servant only wishes to follow you forever, Master..."

An Ke raised an eyebrow. "Where did you learn 'this humble servant' from?"

"And what if we really have to kill each other in the end?"

Little Roman giggled and pointed at King Kong.

"This Muscle Man's vocabulary is top-notch!" King Kong stood with his hands on his hips proudly.

These members didn't have to worry at all about being cleared from the rankings, so their mindset was very relaxed.

Even knowing many powerful enemies had arrived, they weren't afraid.

As long as An Ke was there, the sky wouldn't fall for them.

Little Roman didn't answer An Ke's second question.

An Ke didn't press her; some things didn't need to be scrutinized to the bottom.

He turned to Fungus Kuku. "Kuku, what's your choice?"

"I believe your esteemed father has a way to do what you said."

"If we truly need to kill each other in the end, then your esteemed father, we'll see who's truly superior then."

Hearing Kuku say this, An Ke didn't feel uncomfortable; instead, he burst out laughing.

"No problem, Kuku."

Fungus Kuku—the little yellow fellow with a mushroom head standing on An Ke's shoulder—also began to laugh happily.

The reason he joined An Ke was that he saw a different kind of vitality in him.

This vitality made him unable to resist following.

"Alright! Next, we need to collect some flags first as a safety net, to avoid being directly erased by [[The Game]] in 71 hours."

All the members around him were full of fighting spirit.

"When it comes to finding flags, This Muscle Man is a pro."

"Boss, do you want this little one to fly around in the sky and take a look?"

"Little friend, how about we split up again? With Kuku around, we can contact each other directly if anything happens."

An Ke shook his head. "There are too many civilizations right now; splitting up is too dangerous. I have a plan..."

Just as An Ke was about to reveal his plan, Kuku, standing on his shoulder, blinked like a human and said:

"your esteemed father, partners, actually, we don't need to go to great lengths to find flags."

Kuku's words made him the focus of everyone's attention.

"Kuku, why do you say that?" Leopard Mom asked curiously.

"According to [The Game] rules, if you don't get any flags, won't you be in danger after three days?" Sister-in-law Crocodile said with a frown.

Kuku chuckled. "I didn't mean we shouldn't look for flags."

"Rather, we don't need to struggle to find them, because I already have the exact locations of nine flags."

As soon as he said this, everyone, including An Ke, was in an uproar.

The outside live broadcast room exploded even more.

...

As mentioned before, the Fungus Race is composed of countless fungal colony tribes.

These fungal colony tribes can be seen as individual entities or as a single whole.

In short, Kuku's race is very unique.

Since fungi can grow and spread across any habitable land, Kuku's coverage had previously reached nearly 10 kilometers.

After a period of growth, Kuku's coverage is now even more extensive.

Exactly how large an area it reached, even Kuku wasn't quite sure.

Because of this, Kuku could know the exact locations of nine flags.

Because these flags were right on his "body."

...

A [teleportation channel] opened.

The moment An Ke learned that Kuku knew the locations of nine flags, he immediately took action.

As the scene changed upon entering the [teleportation channel], the snow-white city scene turned into a dim, lush green forest scene.

Without An Ke and the others having to search, "another Kuku" had already walked up to the group holding a flag.

"your esteemed father, here! This is the first flag."

While Kuku spoke, he handed the flag in his hand to An Ke.

The flag wasn't large, about the size of a human forearm.

A flagpole with a circular base held a flag with a blue background and a strange pattern on it.

"I didn't expect [The Game]'s items to be so ordinary-looking." Little Roman examined the flag curiously.

flags didn't glow like cores.

Once covered by plants or hidden in some secret spot, they were very hard to find.

However, An Ke wasn't worried about this at all because he had Three Hairs.

Without any nonsense, An Ke took the flag.

As he took the flag, the flag's attributes appeared before his eyes:

"[Dagon Flag: Can summon 100 Dagons per day..."

"...]"}],
