[You have obtained a Personal Reward: Fox Immortal (B): Your Lifespan +10, Strength, Power, Agility, Intelligence +10, Charm +20 and acquired the skill: Soul Capturing (B)!]

[Kyushu has obtained a National Fate Reward: Gift of the Nine-Tailed Fox (C): Within the national territory, all citizens’ Lifespan +5, Intelligence +5!]

When the people of Kyushu saw this familiar reward message, they instantly erupted in cheers.

“Ning God is amazing!”

“If this keeps going, won’t our lifespan just keep getting longer and longer?”

“What? Don’t tell me you’re actually complaining about living too long?”

“Hahaha, of course not!”

“It’s only the second day, let me count… we’ve already been rewarded a total of 13 extra years of Lifespan, my god!”

“Did you guys notice that the first stage rewards this time are much more generous than before?”

“Could it be because Ah Li belongs to Kyushu?”

“No, I think it’s about strength. Ah Li clearly looks much stronger than Jiu and Ariel, her presence completely overwhelms them.”

“This skill is so strong, though somehow absorbing souls feels a little creepy.”

“What’s creepy! It’s not creepy at all, okay!”

“Ning God is getting more handsome too, damn it, why isn’t the National Fate Reward more Charm!”

“I don’t want Charm, I’m already a handsome guy. If any young ladies are looking for a boyfriend, please contact me!”

“This time it’s Intelligence +5? Why don’t I feel anything?”

“Maybe it’s because your intelligence was already low?”

“Shut up!”

“I feel like my thinking has gotten much clearer and my memory’s improved too.”

“Same here, I’m a senior in high school, questions that seemed hard before now look easy.”

“What about the fox lady? I still want to see her again!”

“Dream on upstairs, obviously Ning God already took her home!”

“Wow, keeping a beauty hidden away, huh?”

The Kyushu citizens chatted happily. After receiving yet another reward, compared to the plight of other countries’ people, how could they not feel on top of the world?

Just then, in the scene, Ning Yi suddenly moved.

He strolled to a white door on the right, paused briefly and then opened it.

Immediately, the attention of all Kyushu citizens was completely drawn to it.

They hurried to see what lay behind the door.

* * *

Makarov was a white man in his thirties.

He used to be a small farm owner, arrogant by nature, a pure white supremacist who looked down on any race other than whites.

What he hated most was seeing Russia groveling to Kyushu for the sake of economic development.

To him, that was a complete disgrace.

Of course., Makarov could do nothing about it, only rage helplessly.

Before entering the National Fate Marriage Game, he and a few white friends had been beating up a Kyushu exchange student.

But then, in a flash of white light, he found himself transported into the National Fate Marriage Game.

Honestly, at first, he panicked.

That’s why he didn’t dare move at all on the first day. Only this morning, realizing he couldn’t just sit and wait to die, did he start to act.

The first few rooms went smoothly.

He even luckily obtained a set of armor with decent defensive capabilities.

But his luck seemed to run out the moment he got that armor.

In the next room, while another chest did appear, it was surrounded by six ferocious wolves, who instantly lunged at him the moment they saw him.

Although the armor boosted his defense, it greatly reduced his speed and agility.

So within minutes.

His whole body was covered in wounds, while the six wolves remained unscathed.

At this rate, his death was only a matter of time.

“Huff, huff…”

Makarov’s eyes were bloodshot, his breath ragged, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Realizing that today might very well be his last, fear began to overtake him.

“Woooo—”

The six Gale Wolves keenly sensed the fear in the human before them, growling threateningly as they slowly advanced.

Suddenly.

Clack!

One of the doors in the area opened.

Makarov froze, instinctively turning his head.

When he saw the man at the door—an Asian with short black hair, so handsome he didn’t look human—his pupils shrank.

[Encounter with a player from another country! You have unlocked the “Circle of Friends” feature. You may trade items and chat with this player through the Circle of Friends!]

[Note: Players may cooperate, but they may also choose hostility. Killing another player incurs no penalty!]

[Circle of Friends—]

[1/1]

[Name: ??? Country: ???]

The words appearing before him snapped him back to his senses, his eyes instantly lighting up.

‘A player?’

“Hey! Brother! Help me!”

Seeing that the six Gale Wolves hadn’t reacted yet, Makarov, face full of excitement, ran toward the figure.

His excitement was understandable.

Because if he could get this Asian to block the wolves, he’d be safe!

* * *

The citizens of Russia, watching this, were also thrilled.

Makarov might not know who had appeared, but they knew perfectly well. Wasn’t this Kyushu’s god-tier player, the strongest one at present?

“Russia is saved!”

“God, did you hear my prayers?”

“Wait, aren’t you guys being too optimistic? That Kyushu guy just killed another player not long ago!”

“That was for a reason, though. The Indian player attacked first!”

“Right and Makarov’s not stupid. Even if he doesn’t know how strong this Kyushu player is, in this situation, any normal person would choose to cooperate!”

“I’ve looked into this Kyushu player, he’s generally a good guy.”

“I can finally relax now.”

But then, a certain comment sent a chill through the entire Russian livestream.

“I’m Makarov’s friend. Don’t celebrate too soon. He’s a pure racist. His favorite pastime was bullying Kyushu exchange students and migrant workers. In fact, right before entering the National Fate Marriage Game, he and his buddies were beating up a Kyushu student!”

At those words.

The livestream fell silent.

Then…

The scrolling chat exploded.

“No way, right? Are you lying?”

“Damn you, Makarov! Don’t drag the whole of Russia down with you if you want to die!”

“As a man, he should fight alongside the Kyushu player.”

“So, let’s just see if they can get through this first.”

“Maybe Makarov’s changed his thinking by now?”

Russian citizens frantically tried to reassure themselves.

But, Makarov’s next action instantly made their hearts sink to rock bottom.
