You want me to play the Foehn wind? Are you kidding me?

Fang Xing paused for a moment, then tightened the bandage around the man's leg and tied a knot. His movements were steady, but Han Ya noticed that his knuckles had turned white.

How many are there?

"a lot of……"

"There are more than thirty of them guarding our settlement alone. Their leader is even bigger, over three meters tall, and covered in bone armor. Ordinary attacks can't hurt it at all."

More than thirty.

Fang Xing quickly calculated in his mind.

He and Han Ya, one at the sixth rank and the other at the fifth rank, had little chance of winning against more than thirty combat-capable alien creatures, but it wasn't entirely impossible.

If the combat strength of these Bu Li people is roughly as the man described, he should be able to hold off most of them, while Han Ya will provide remote support.

Just as he was about to speak, the notification sound of the National Fortune Game suddenly rang in everyone's consciousness, including everyone on Earth watching the live broadcast.

[Trigger Mission: Help the Local Survivors]

[Mission Description: The native inhabitants of this planet are being enslaved and slaughtered by the monstrous "Buli People." Help the survivors rescue their imprisoned brethren and repel or eliminate the Buli People's forces in the region.]

[Task Rewards: Dragon Kingdom's National Fortune Value +1, National Spiritual Energy Concentration +5%, Citizen Awakening Probability +1%]

[Note: This is an optional task; the chosen one may choose whether to accept it. There is no penalty for failure.]

National fortune increases by 1. Spiritual energy concentration increases by 5%. Awakening probability increases by 1%.

Fang Xing was acutely aware of the significance of this reward.

With each increase in national fortune value, the Dragon Kingdom gains more influence in the international arena.

A 5% increase in spiritual energy concentration means that all superhumans across the country can absorb 5% more spiritual energy during their cultivation.

Over time, the gap widens.

The awakening probability increases by 1%...

For every two hundred ordinary people, two more will awaken superpowers.

Two people.

It may not sound like much. But in a country with 14 billion people, a 5% increase in spiritual energy concentration and a 1% increase in the probability of awakening means that the fate of millions or even tens of millions of people will be changed.

Fang Xing did not hesitate.

"Accept the quest."

Han Ya spoke almost simultaneously.

"Receive".

The notification sound for the national destiny game rang again.

[The Chosen Ones of the Dragon Kingdom, Fang Xing and Han Ya, have accepted the mission. Mission progress will be updated in real time.]

When the man on the ground heard the words "accept the mission," the light in his eyes, which was about to go out, suddenly shone brightly.

He didn't know what "accepting a mission" meant, but he understood that these two people were willing to help them.

"Thanks……"

His voice choked with emotion.

"Thank you..."

"You're welcome."

Fang Xing helped him up from the ground and put his arm around his shoulder.

"Can you walk?"

"able."

The man gritted his teeth, and as soon as his left leg touched the ground, he gasped in pain, but he didn't utter a sound and forced himself to stand firm.

Han Ya walked over to Fang Xing and lowered her voice.

"More than thirty people, plus a leader. Are the two of us enough?"

Fang Xing was silent for a moment, then said something he himself hadn't expected to say.

"Whether there are enough or not, we have to fight, because it concerns the future status of our country."

"Let's go."

Fang Xing adjusted the weight of the person on his shoulder and walked deeper into the forest.

Han Ya followed behind him, the ice spikes faintly visible on her fingertips.

……

Meanwhile, in the Dragon Kingdom's live broadcast room on Blue Star, the atmosphere had already exploded.

"...Spiritual energy concentration increased by 5%, awakening probability increased by 1%."

Sitting in the guest seat was Liu Zhiguo, the main person in charge of the Dragon Kingdom Research Institute, an elderly man with white hair.

After hearing the notification sound from the game, he repeated the two numbers, his voice trembling slightly.

He turned his head and looked at Old Li.

"Mr. Li, do you know what this means?"

Old Li did not answer immediately.

His cloudy old eyes stared at the two figures in the forest on the big screen, and he remained silent for a few seconds.

"mean."

"If this is true, and if this mission is completed, the number of Awakened in the Dragon Kingdom next year will be at least 30 more than this year."

Liu Zhiguo nodded.

"It's not just 30. With a 5% increase in spiritual energy concentration, the cultivation speed of all ability users will accelerate, and the breakthrough threshold from the first to the third level will be lowered. Many people who are stuck at their bottlenecks will take advantage of this opportunity to break through. Although the impact on those above the third level is smaller, the difference will become very obvious over time."

As he spoke, his voice changed slightly.

The chat in the live stream room has gone completely crazy.

"30 million!!!"

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, this reward is outrageous!"

"I just want to ask, can the game 'National Destiny' include more of these kinds of missions???"

"So this mission involves fighting that Bu Liren, right? Fang Xing! Han Ya! Charge!!!"

"Wait, where's the bandaged man? Why isn't he helping?"

"He is the Great Lord of Annihilation; he wouldn't even look at such a trivial task."

"Hahaha, the Great Lord of Annihilation doesn't want it, but the Dragon Kingdom, where the Great Lord of Annihilation resides, does."

"Fang Xing, keep going! 1.4 billion people in China are behind you!"

"I'll treat you to dinner when I get back from this fight!!!"

Bingbing stood in front of the camera, watching the scene on the big screen where two people were carrying an injured stranger into the depths of the forest, her eyes slightly reddening.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself, turned to the camera, and spoke in a steady and powerful voice.

"Dear viewers, our chosen ones have accepted this mission. They will face more than thirty Stepmen and their leader."

Let us pray for them.

Mr. Li sat in the guest seat, leaning slightly forward with his hands crossed on his knees.

His expression was calm, but his hands...

Those hands that have seen countless battles and wielded countless weapons.

It is trembling slightly.

It's not fear.

It was excitement.

He hadn't felt excited in a long time.

……

Lu Feng heard it too.

The voice from the national destiny game didn't come from any direction; it rang out directly in his consciousness, as if someone was speaking inside his head.

He was standing in front of the emerald green pillar, which he had found while wandering around the forest.

Huh? What?

Step away from people.

The name was like a needle, piercing a long-forgotten corner of his mind.

He had seen the name before.

In my previous life, while playing Star Railway, I read about it in the texts of some side quests and in the entries in the think tank.

Step away from people.

A member of the bountiful people.

They are mortal enemies of the Immortal Boat Alliance for thousands of years, and they believe in the law of the jungle.

Why? Is this the Starry Sky Railway world? Why are there people like Bu Liren here?

Lu Feng stood in front of that emerald green pillar, remaining silent for a long time.

He didn't want to go.

His use of power was completely haphazard; he was just barely holding on thanks to the physical attributes granted by his transformation progress.

He needed a place to sit down and think carefully about how to turn that brute force into a real fighting force, instead of just throwing punches like a brute.

But the steps are far from people...

If Fang Xing and Han Ya were to run into Bu Liren...

Even the strongest warriors in the Dragon Kingdom couldn't destroy a city with a single blow, so it's hard to say whether they could actually win.

Lu Feng cursed under his breath.

Driven by his remaining kindness, he did not want to see the Dragon Kingdom, which was similar to the country in his previous life, perish.

Even though it's only for 7 days, let's go anyway.
