With the death of Hyuga Go.

The livestream screen naturally switched to the disaster scene in Sakura Country.

It had to be said, this Strong Acid Rain was far more destructive than yesterday’s Iron Thread Worm of the Core.

After all, those infected by the Iron Thread Worm of the Core would first crazily drink nuclear wastewater, die from overconsumption and only then attack others. This undoubtedly gave Sakura Country’s officials plenty of time to respond.

But the Strong Acid Rain was different.

In just a few seconds, it caused at least hundreds of thousands of casualties within the Tokyo area.

Moreover, this highly corrosive rain also caused irreparable damage to various infrastructure throughout Tokyo.

Inside Kyushu’s livestream room.

Xiao Sa stared at the hellish scene on the screen and could not help being shocked.

“It’s hard to imagine this acid rain will last for an entire year and it will fall randomly across different areas of Sakura Country every day. The level of destruction it will cause is too great.”

If it were fixed in one place, it would be somewhat manageable.

Sakura Country’s officials could simply evacuate people.

But the problem was that the rain fell randomly across the entire country, making it impossible to avoid.

“I’m extremely grateful now that our country’s player is Ning Yi…”

Beside him, Ma Fanshu nodded in lingering fear, then frowned slightly, “Do you think Sakura Country’s citizens will flee? If they flee to Kyushu, should we accept them?”

“….”

Xiao Sa pondered for a moment, then said: “Although this may sound inhumane, I believe even if Sakura Country’s citizens flee to our country, we cannot accept them.”

“Why?”

“Let me give you an example. If Sakura Country’s player dies again and then triggers another disaster similar to the Iron Thread Worm of the Core, one that’s contagious…”

Xiao Sa didn’t finish, but the meaning was clear.

“You mean, it would bring danger to Kyushu’s people?”

Ma Fanshu suddenly realized.

Indeed, no country would want to allow foreign citizens to threaten the safety of their own.

She hadn’t thought of that just now.

“As far as I know, the country has already begun repatriating foreign citizens and has also dispatched fleets to bring overseas Kyushu citizens back home.”

Xiao Sa said, “In this situation, each country ensuring its own stability is the safest measure.”

At this moment, in the livestream room.

After hearing Xiao Sa and Ma Fanshu’s conversation, many people suddenly understood.

“No wonder, earlier today I saw a few Africans being forcibly put in a vehicle. Turns out they were being deported?”

“People from Dongguang say the air is already noticeably fresher.”

“In times like these, saintly compassion is worthless. Each country must rely on its own strength.”

“With Ning Yi here, destiny is on Kyushu’s side! Kyushu is destined to rise!”

“Of course!”

“Speaking of which, I think Sakura Country is done for this time. The Iron Thread Worm of the Core hasn’t even been completely dealt with yet and now comes an even more destructive Strong Acid Rain. This is just unbearable.”

“All I can say is that it’s karma.”

“The cycle of heaven. I don’t pity them at all. If I did, where would that leave our compatriots who died so tragically?”

While Ning Yi’s livestream was blacked out, Kyushu’s people voiced their opinions.

At that moment, the livestream screen suddenly lit up.

It was still the same beach, but Ariel was nowhere to be seen.

Only Ning Yi was there, looking utterly relaxed as he stretched in the sea breeze.

Seeing this scene, the previously quiet livestream room immediately exploded with excitement and no one cared about Sakura Country anymore.

“Is it over? Let me see… it lasted 3 hours and 21 minutes. How many times do you think Ning Shen went?”

“If it’s around once every 15 minutes like a normal man, then 13 times in total?”

“Beastly!”

“And we were actually worried if Ning Shen’s two wives could handle it. Looks like we were overthinking.”

“Huh, normal men only last 15 minutes? Then if I last 1 hour each time, doesn’t that make me awesome?”

“Stop bragging. Lasting 1 hour once in a while is normal, but if it’s every time, then something’s wrong with you and you need treatment.”

“I don’t care, I don’t care!”

“Is Ning Yi getting more and more handsome?”

“Nonsense, his charm stat went up +20, he’s ridiculously handsome now!”

“To be fair, Ning Yi was already handsome. Now… this cute girl here is practically drowning in desire just from seeing his face.”

“Don’t say that, even as a man, I’m finding it hard to resist Ning Yi.”

“Stop! This is a serious livestream room!”

“No gay stuff!”

Kyushu’s people cheerfully began chatting.

“Alright!”

Xiao Sa snapped back to his senses, “From the looks of it, Ning Yi seems to have almost recovered his energy. Will he continue exploring? Let’s wait and see!”

* * *

After Ariel woke up, Ning Yi sent her to the Homestead.

This was thanks to Ariel’s ability to transform into a human. Otherwise… it would’ve been difficult to properly accommodate her.

Compared to land, Ariel still preferred the water.

But for now, this was the only option. Later, if conditions allowed, he could even create a small lake near the Homestead for her.

‘Now… let’s continue today’s exploration!’

Ning Yi moved his limbs a bit and began examining the surrounding rooms.

All three rooms had white doors.

[This is a BOSS Room. Behind the door is an aged Fishman Shaman. When it sleeps, it sleeps very deeply, but now it is awake. Entering means near-certain death.]

[This is a Treasure Chest Room. Behind the door is a treasure chest, but a Goblin Bandit lies in ambush. As long as you’re careful, you won’t get hurt.]

[This is a Trap Room. Behind the door is a strange gas that can corrupt human minds. Entering means near-certain death.]

BOSS Room?

Ning Yi focused on examining this newly appeared room type.

‘When it sleeps, it sleeps very deeply? Perhaps… I could kill it while it’s asleep?’

He mulled over the thought in his mind.

A moment later.

He stored the idea in his heart, then turned and walked toward the Treasure Chest Room.

Though the Treasure Chest Room required fighting.

His recently enhanced strength made him eager to test himself.

“Click!”

He adjusted his breathing, reaching his peak state, then twisted the doorknob.

The instant he opened the door, he began observing what lay beyond.

As the cheat-like hint had warned, perhaps fearing the opener might miss it, a treasure chest glowing with silver light was placed conspicuously at the center of the room.

Behind the chest stretched a forest.

The forest was quiet… too quiet.

Even without the hint, Ning Yi sensed something was wrong.

Of course.

He didn’t show it, instead tightening his grip on the bow slightly, pretending to be surprised and walked straight toward the chest.

Twenty meters, fifteen meters, ten meters…

The distance grew shorter.

Until only about seven meters remained.

“Swish swish—”

A noise came from the forest.

Next moment, a towering figure nearly 1.8 meters tall, wielding a long blade, suddenly leapt out.

“Human… fresh meat… feast!”

The Goblin Bandit roared ferociously.

‘I’ve been waiting for you!’

Ning Yi showed no panic, his eyes flashing with a fierce glint.

Moving with practiced ease, he retreated while simultaneously drawing an arrow from his quiver.

After a brief aim, his fingers loosened.

“Whoosh!”

The arrow shot out like lightning, hurtling toward the Goblin Bandit.

Next second.

“Pfft!”

Blood splattered as the monster’s head was pierced clean through.

With his enhanced strength, Ning Yi’s arrows carried much greater speed and power.

The Goblin didn’t even have time to react before being mortally wounded.
