Everyone's playing hide-and-seek: This crazy beauty has maxed-out third eyes.

Attention all players, there are two prize pools...

Please select your reward.

Lydia was still the first to act.

She strode towards the pillar of light on the west side, even faster than last time, without even turning her head.

The golden light engulfed her figure.

Three seconds later.

[Congratulations to Lydia, a player from the Russian Bear Kingdom, for winning an A-rank reward: the Evil-Slaying Broken Blade.]

Lydia emerged from the pillar of light, a short knife now in her right hand.

The blade was jet black, with a cold gleam at the edge. The hilt was engraved with dense runes, and it was about the length of a fist when held in the hand.

She twirled the knife, then held it between her fingers and weighed it in her hand.

satisfaction.

Lina leaned closer for a look: "What a beautiful knife."

Lydia tucked the knife into her waistband and gestured with her chin towards Lina: "Exorcise evil!"

Seeing this, Sergei felt a surge of excitement and stepped forward second. He hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked towards the pillar of light on the east side.

It shimmered with golden light.

[Congratulations to Sergei, player from the Kingdom of White, for winning an A-level reward: randomly purifying a lake within the safe zone.]

When Sergei burst out of the beam of light, he jumped up and down on the spot, while the person next to him was rubbing his hands excitedly, his eyes red.

Their country only has 5 safe zones left, and safe water sources are scarce. If they can purify one of them this time, at least they won't lack water resources!

Lina didn't go forward immediately. She stood there, twisting the hem of her clothes with her fingers, her lips pursing and then relaxing.

Hardy moved first; he was the player hiding in the water. He walked straight toward the pillar of light on the east side with steady steps.

A golden light flashed.

[Congratulations to the Battanian player, Hadi, for winning a Grade B reward: 80 tons of potatoes.]

Hardy emerged from the beam of light, his expression unreadable—not happy, but not disappointed either.

Eighty tons of potatoes should be enough to sustain his country for a while.

Ron then went up and chose the western pillar of light.

[Congratulations to Ron, player from the UK, for winning a C-rank reward: Hearing Potion.]

Ron emerged from the pillar of light, clutching a vial of pale blue potion in his hand, his expression not looking too good.

Grade C.

Of the seven people present, he is currently the only one at level C.

Lin Sui'an glanced at him and recognized him; he was the crew-cut guy who stole the crates in the game.

Alex was short with short brown hair, and he chose the west side.

[Congratulations to US player Alex for winning the S-rank reward: Safe House Chalk.]

The entire dungeon entrance was silent for half a second.

Alex looked down at the piece of white chalk in his hand, paused for two seconds, and then smiled.

Hahahaha, he tilted his head back, his laughter rising from low to high, getting louder and louder.

"S-rank!"

He shouted it in English and then repeated it.

"S-rank! I'm S-rank!"

Everyone present looked over.

Ron gripped the C-grade potion in his hand, his fingers tightening.

Lydia glanced at Alex but didn't react, then lowered her head to continue wiping her knife.

Lina muttered quietly beside her, "Besides Sui An, is there anyone else who can draw an S-rank?"

------

In the Dragon Kingdom's live stream room, the chat was scrolling normally.

Suddenly, a flood of English comments appeared on the screen.

ACa No.1: S-rank!!! S-rank!!! We American players also got an S-rank!!!

America's Best: Hahahaha! You Chinese aren't the only ones! Safe House Chalk! S-Class Item! Alex is the true chosen one!

SA-TOP: Is it something to brag about Chinese players getting an S-rank item? We have that too!

The best in America: Alex! The pride of America! Your Chinese godmothers are nothing compared to him. Luck is something anyone can have!

The live chat exploded instantly.

An Shen, my idol: Who put them in?

Never eaten vegetables: Oh, is this American dog on a leash? Why is it barking so loudly?

A descendant of the Zaunite: One S-rank and you guys are all smug? My god got two S-ranks in two rounds, how many have you players pulled in total? Want me to count for you?

Koi: Luck? You call two consecutive S-ranks luck? Then what about your Alex, who only got one S-rank? Trash?

The best in the US: That's different! Safe house chalk, a safe house! Sounds extraordinary, do you have one?

A native of Zu'an: Do you want your father?

An Shen's little fan: In the last round, An Shen drew a card that cleared out an entire area of ​​weirdness. An entire area! Can your chalk card clear that?

Never eaten vegetables: Running wild in someone else's live stream, the American's manners remain as good as ever.

Another day has passed: It's pathetic that an S-class character is so happy.

Go China! When will the game add a protective net, like a national territory, so that as long as we don't agree, they can't come over? I think the internet also needs a protective net!

The barrage of comments saying "The US is the best" was still going on, but Chinese netizens weren't going to let it go and kept criticizing and refuting it.

The barrage of comments on both sides intertwined, tripling the speed at which the screen was refreshed.

------

Entrance to the instance.

Alex carefully tucked the piece of chalk into his inner breast pocket. He glanced around at everyone present, his gaze lingering on each person's face for a couple of seconds.

Then he spoke, and his voice was loud.

"My tool can draw a safe house in the dungeon."

He held up three fingers: "Three people, protecting each other at the same time."

As soon as he said that, everyone's eyes turned to him.

Ron was the first to step forward, a smile on his face. He spoke a few words in English, slowly and politely.

Lina whispered to Lin Sui'an, "He's trying to get on my good side, saying that the US and the UK are allies and can act together in the next round."

Alex glanced at Ron and smiled, a smile that carried a hint of condescension.

He pointed to the hearing potion in Ron's hand and said something.

Lina translated: "He said that if you want shelter, you can exchange it for medicine."

Ron's smile froze. He looked down at the pale blue vial in his hand, then looked up at Alex.

His expression changed several times, and finally he smiled, took a step back, gave a vague reply, and turned to walk away.

Hardy stood a few steps away, and put his foot down again after he had just lifted it.

Eighty tons of potatoes in exchange for one asylum spot?

He didn't say anything.

Alex didn't even look at him; his gaze swept over Lydia and Sergei before finally settling on Lin Sui'an.

He hesitated for a moment and didn't come over.

Lin Sui'an didn't even look at him; she turned to look at Lina.

"Aren't you going to smoke?"

Lina stood there, her fingers tightening and loosening their grip on the hem of her clothes.

Happy New Year.

"Um?"

"I've made up my mind."

Lina loosened the hem of her clothes and let her hands hang down at her sides.

"I got a guardian necklace in the game that can withstand ten fatal attacks."

Her voice trembled slightly, but she didn't stop: "Next round, I won't hide anymore. I'm going to go out and grab the treasure chests just like you."

Lin Sui'an tilted her head: "So which one do you choose?"

"East side."

Lina pinched the silver necklace around her neck with her fingers.

"Our country only has one district left."

There is no room for trial and error.

"I can desperately acquire items in the game, but things like clearing out monsters can only be found in the prize pool."

She walked towards the pillar of light on the east side, took two steps, and then turned back.

"Please pray for my good luck."

Lin Sui'an leaned against a nearby stone pillar, a smirk playing on her lips: "I don't believe in that."

Lina choked for a moment, then turned and stepped into the pillar of light.

A flash of golden light appeared.

[Congratulations to Lina, a player from the Southern Kingdom, for winning an A-level reward: 200 tons of cabbage.]

Lina stepped out of the pillar of light and stood there muttering, "Not again."

Lin Sui'an looked at her disappointed expression and said, "But that's two hundred tons of cabbage."

Lina looked up, her eyes red-rimmed, but she managed a forced smile: "Yes... two hundred tons of vegetables... maybe my compatriots can get some fresh vegetables too."

She wiped her eyes with her sleeve: "I don't know whether to cry or laugh."

"Then don't even think about it."

"Braised cabbage with glass noodles, delicious!"

Dragon Kingdom Live Stream Room.

Never eaten vegetables: Two hundred tons of cabbage... two hundred tons... Waaah, I really want to eat vegetables.

An Shen, my idol: Lina, keep it up! One day you'll get the one that clears away the supernatural!

Koi: The Southern Kingdom is having a really tough time. There's only one district left, and every time we draw a prize, we have to gamble on the fate of the nation.

Another day has passed: By the way, I haven't even taken the tranquilizer yet!

Never eaten vegetables before: Yeah, soothing and fast-acting! I can't wait!
