Chapter 48
Chapter 48
Leaving aside the chaos consuming Lake Kingdom,
the other countries secretly rejoiced when they saw its punishment. Fortunately, that idiot nation had tested the waters for them.
With such a precedent before them, they hurriedly pressed delete and erased every protest they had written.
“So what if we have no opportunity to send a hint? Perhaps that will be better.”
That was what the leaders who had previously told their contestants that the blue rules were correct now thought.
“If we hadn’t warned Kim Siba, perhaps he wouldn’t have died.”
That was the belief of Kimchi Nation’s people.
After a day, they had also realized
that their own hint had been the final straw that crushed Kim Siba’s cognition.
Without a hint this time, perhaps their Chosen One could survive.
That was how they deceived themselves.
“Yoshi. Without a hint, Yamashita Kenichiro won’t know the truth about rabbit blood. Perhaps nothing will happen to him.”
Sakura Nation also successfully talked itself into a delusion.
Meanwhile, ordinary citizens in Longguo’s livestream commented,
“Holy shit, what happened? Why did everything start over? Do they really think this is a game world? A rollback?”
“Brother above, don’t panic. Didn’t you read the Supreme Rule’s announcement? Su Chen rolled back with yesterday’s memories. He’ll definitely clear it again. He may even solve the zoo’s supernatural problem and earn more national fortune.”
“Wait, solve the zoo’s supernatural problem? The commenter above gave me an idea. Could Su Chen have known there would be a rollback?”
“Holy fucking shit! I’ve got goosebumps. That’s possible! Think about what he said to the white lions yesterday, and then remember what he told the monster after leaving the zoo: ‘We’ll meet again very soon.'”
“Goddamn! Mystery solved! Su Chen knew everything from the start. He planned all of this in advance!”
“Then here’s the question: how did Su Chen know there would be a rollback?”
At that comment, everyone fell silent.
How would they know why?
If they knew, they might as well replace Su Chen themselves!
“Who cares why? Just keep spamming ‘Su Chen is awesome’!”
“Exactly! Su Chen is awesome!”
“God Su is fucking incredible!”
…
At the zoo entrance, Su Chen watched the others with great interest.
The feeling of possessing a god’s-eye view and being the only person who knew the future was wonderful!
“That idiot Kim Siba should be coming soon.”
Su Chen looked at Kim Siba grinning foolishly in the distance and muttered.
Sure enough, Kim Siba walked over the next moment, following yesterday’s actions exactly.
He forced out a kindly smile.
“Greetings, Chosen One of Longguo. I am Kim Siba from Kimchi Nation. First, I would like to express my deep sympathy for the death of your country’s previous Chosen One.”
He turned slightly toward the empty space beside him.
Having cleared a Horror scenario before, he knew Longguo’s livestream would naturally switch to a close view of his face at that moment.
“I would also like to take this opportunity to clarify matters for the citizens of Longguo watching your livestream. Your contestant’s death truly had nothing to do with me. As a neighboring nation, we are very willing to help Longguo.”
“To prove my sincerity, I can help your Chosen One clear the scenario.”
“I hear Longguo has only seventy points of national fortune remaining. Don’t worry. I’ll tell you the correct rules.”
Kim Siba patted Su Chen’s shoulder like an older brother.
“Fuck off. You think I don’t know the blue rules are correct? Who needs your bullshit? If you don’t get lost, I’ll slap that ugly face of yours.”
This time, Su Chen did not humor him at all and directly fired back.
He still had things to do and could not enter the zoo first.
If he repeated what he said previously, Kim Siba might grow suspicious.
Besides, Kim Siba had been the engine driving the previous massacre. Su Chen could not allow him to change the order of entry.
Su Chen’s arrogant, crude response stunned Kim Siba.
Shame and anger appeared on his face.
But after comparing their heights, he abandoned the idea of fighting Su Chen.
“This contestant from Longguo looks stupid, but his mind works quickly. He saw through the correct rules immediately.”
“But that brat shouted loudly enough that many people must have heard him. I can’t let anyone get ahead of me. I, Kim Siba, must be the first to clear the scenario!”
With those thoughts, Kim Siba dared not delay.
Without even leaving behind a threat, he turned and hurried toward the zoo entrance,
as though terrified someone might beat him to it.
In the real world, the people of Kimchi Nation wanted to dig holes and bury themselves.
Knowing what happened next, Kim Siba’s performance looked like deliberately offering his face to be slapped.
He was going to teach Su Chen the correct rules?
Su Chen had already fooled him completely!
Watching Kim Siba’s short legs scurry along, his countrymen wanted to cry.
The bastard was going to die petting rabbits again!
The people of Longguo roared with laughter.
Watching their enemy go to his death a second time was deeply satisfying.
“That’s what you get for killing our Chosen One before! Go die again!”
“Hahaha! Su Chen is so wicked. The way he spouts nonsense with a straight face is killing me!”
“Could turning into a rabbit actually be a reward for Kim Siba?”
That comment silenced Longguo’s viewers.
Everyone pictured the rabbit endlessly thrusting against the tree.
“Fuck! I’ve suffered mental contamination! I’m filthy!”
Longguo’s livestream was filled with merriment.
Meanwhile, once Su Chen saw Kim Siba follow the previous script and enter the zoo first, he relaxed.
Only after Kim Siba passed through the entrance, turned, and vanished completely
did Su Chen begin executing his plan.
He approached Chosen Ones from countries with good relations with Longguo.
The first was the contestant from Tieba Nation.
Inside the Aquarium, that man’s “thank you” in Chinese had left a deep impression on him.
Naturally, Su Chen made this brother from Tieba Nation his first rescue target.
“Brother, I know what I’m about to say may be difficult to believe, and it will be hard for me to prove or explain it. But I still hope you’ll trust me. Please don’t enter the zoo yet. Wait until I tell you to go in.”
Su Chen looked him in the eyes and said sincerely.
The contestant looked confused.
But he quickly understood.
As someone who survived long enough to enter the Aquarium last time, he was no fool.
After a moment’s thought, he realized Su Chen merely wanted him to enter the zoo later.
That had no negative effect on him. He did not care about rankings.
All that mattered was clearing the scenario.
And Su Chen was Longguo’s contestant. Since childhood, he had been taught that the people of Longguo were friends of Tieba Nation.
Friends should naturally trust one another.
“Fri… friend. I… I trust… you!”
He delivered the words in halting Chinese.
