74: Chapter 74 The Tiger is Enraged by the Reversal of Heavenly Principles
In the live broadcast room, the Foreigners were collectively dumbfounded.
The scene had spiraled out of control just a moment ago, leaving them incredibly excited.
Citizens from nations like the Beacon, South Korea, Kangaroo, and others were constantly clamoring, cheering for the tiger.
They had indeed been restrained before, not wanting to offend Dragon Country too much.
But that didn't mean they didn't want to see Dragon Country's representative player die.
Because as soon as An Ke died, the opportunity for materialization wouldn't just belong to Dragon Country.
People from their other countries would also be able to get a share of the materialization opportunities!
According to analysis, the requirements for resource materialization are lower the first time they are encountered.
For example, coconut trees, wild boars, lobsters, seafood... and so on.
Once a species has been materialized for the first time, the conditions to materialize it again become much harsher.
In the beginning, An Ke achieved the Thousand Times Materialization conditions just by stripping over a dozen coconut trees.
If other countries wanted to materialize them now, they might need to strip dozens or even hundreds of trees to meet the conditions.
Therefore, An Ke's death would be a good thing for other countries.
They would have the chance to obtain Thousand Times Materialization!
However, while they were cheering for the tiger, the Little Tiger pounced into An Ke's arms.
It nuzzled against him and acted spoiled—what was going on?
This was just ridiculous, right?
"My God! Don't tell me there's another plot twist coming?"
"Hurry up and kill that Dragon Country Kid!"
"What are you waiting for?"
"F**k!! This is the stupidest tiger I've ever seen."
"I really want to go over there and give that tiger a slap."
"..."
The Foreigners were exasperated.
They had been watching and waiting, and finally felt brave enough to pop the champagne, only for things to go wrong again.
This made them feel uncomfortable to the extreme.
Could it be that An Ke was going to slap their faces again in a moment?
However, looking at the fierce gaze the tiger directed at An Ke,
The Foreigners held onto hope once more.
As long as there was a little bit of friction between the two sides, it would be enough.
Wild beasts all have violent tempers; as long as there's friction, a fight is inevitable.
The Foreigners continued to pray...
Inside the broadcast, An Ke was incredibly surprised.
Right now, his Natural Affinity was only at Level 2.
It shouldn't be enough to make a large predator like a tiger feel affinity toward him.
Could it be that cubs are different?
Because there was no precedent, An Ke didn't dare to jump to conclusions.
He tried to raise his hand, cautiously stroking the Little Tiger's head.
To be honest, An Ke was quite afraid of being bitten by the Little Tiger.
Even a cat can draw blood, let alone a tiger?
The situation would only be more severe.
However, the little guy in his arms not only didn't resist but actively raised its head, squinting its eyes for An Ke to pet it.
It looked extremely blissful, making whimpering sounds from time to time.
Clearly, the little guy was in a very good mood right now.
An Ke was immediately overjoyed; it seemed that Level 2 Natural Affinity really could make cubs feel more affinity toward him.
But even if he had the cub handled, the Big Tiger was still a problem.
Without the influence of Natural Affinity, a tiger is a pure predator.
Accustomed to living in the wilderness, they don't care if a human has good intentions.
If it's not the same species, it's an enemy.
No! Even if it is the same species, it's still an enemy.
One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers!
An Ke slightly raised his eyes, using his peripheral vision to observe the Big Tiger's reaction.
He saw the Big Tiger's vertical pupils locked onto him, pacing back and forth while letting out low growls from its throat.
That was a warning issued to An Ke.
Clearly, the Big Tiger was very angry right now.
The reason it hadn't launched an attack was for fear that An Ke would hurt its child.
An Ke pondered for a moment and decided to try showing goodwill to the Big Tiger.
To soothe its emotions and stop it from baring its teeth and being hostile toward him.
If the tiger became too hostile, what if Natural Affinity didn't work even after it leveled up?
"Little guy, how about you go back to your mother first?"
However, the little guy shook its head and kept burrowing into An Ke's arms, looking very unwilling.
An Ke: "..."
What did the head shake mean?
It didn't want its own mother anymore?
An Ke was a bit dazed; aren't children usually the most clingy with their mothers?
Take the Little Leopard for example.
Even though it was influenced by Natural Affinity and was very close to An Ke,
It still put its mother first.
Most of the time, it stuck by its mother's side.
Only when An Ke was free and looked for it to play would it bounce over to play with him.
Normally, it wouldn't actively follow An Ke out.
Yet this Little Tiger was like a piece of chewing gum, sticking to An Ke and not even wanting its own mother.
Not far away, the Big Tiger was equally dazed.
Because An Ke had a golden finger, it could vaguely understand his meaning.
He wanted its child to return to its side.
But it didn't expect the child to refuse on its own?
The tiger couldn't help but roar, extremely angry.
But this time, the anger wasn't directed at An Ke, but at its child.
Defying the natural order.
This mother worked so hard to raise you, and this is how you treat me?
It really is a case of 'a few days without a beating and you're tearing the roof tiles off'.
The Big Tiger swore in its heart that once the crisis settled, it would definitely give the Little Tiger a beating.
To see if it would ever dare to do this again.
In the live broadcast room, all the viewers expressed that they completely couldn't understand what was happening anymore.
"Does this Little Tiger not even want its own mom anymore?"
"I'm dying of laughter. Look at that Big Tiger; it's probably going to be steamed to death by its own child's behavior."
"I bet that roar just now was some very nasty cursing."
"After this Little Tiger goes home, I'm afraid it'll be beaten until it cries by the Big Tiger."
"Don't be too optimistic, the crisis hasn't been resolved yet!"
"..."
In the program, the host and Liu Yifei asked Professor Wu and other experts for an explanation of this phenomenon.
However, after Professor Wu and the other experts exchanged looks, they were all staring at each other in bewilderment.
They didn't know what was going on either!
They had never seen any animal that was more close to a human than its own kind.
Usually, this could only be achieved if it were raised from birth.
But An Ke hadn't raised that Little Tiger at all, okay?
In the end, Professor Wu could only shake his head helplessly and say:
"It can only be summed up as Boss An being freaking awesome!"
A professor using such a crude term left the audience staring in wide-eyed astonishment.
"Professor Wu has been completely dumbfounded by An Ke's actions!"
"Hahaha! Turns out highly intellectual people also use 'awesome' to describe things."
"I'm dying of laughter!"
"..."
In the broadcast, An Ke still decided to put down the Little Tiger and let it return to its mother's side.
Only then could he prevent the situation from suddenly deteriorating.
"Little guy, go back to your mother's side."
"Don't make your mother wait and worry."
This move of An Ke's was also a signal of goodwill to the tiger.
However, after the little guy was put down, it had no intention of going back to its mom.
Even when An Ke nudged it, the little guy stubbornly insisted on staying by An Ke's side.
In the end, it even used all four paws to tightly hug An Ke's leg; he couldn't even push it away.
The Big Tiger: "..."
An Ke: "..."
An Ke gave a dry laugh, looking at the tiger that was glaring fiercely at him.
This was very awkward.
