"China ranks tenth in this week's national fortune competition!"
After a brief silence, the live stream room was once again flooded with ecstatic comments.
"Tenth! Tenth again! We've held firm!"
"Great! I thought I'd be out of the running this week!"
"Be content, be content. Take it one step at a time. Staying steady is victory!"
"It can only be said that Lin Shen's three evacuations were crucial. With two AWMs and ammunition, he immediately raised the combat readiness!"
"Quick, hear what the reward is!"
......
"Next, the ranking rewards and penalties will be announced," the Supreme God's voice continued.
"First place, the United States, received a 25% increase in energy extraction efficiency."
"The second-place country, the United States, received a 20% increase in its global cultural and artistic influence."
"Huaxia ranked tenth, maintaining its position in the top ten this week with a steady performance, and received the national fortune reward [Land and Environment Optimization]."
"【Land and Environment Optimization】: The proportion of days with good air quality in major cities increased by 15%, the area of soil erosion decreased by 10%, the forest coverage rate steadily increased, and the accuracy of natural disaster early warning slightly improved."
While the reward doesn't have the same direct impact on the human body as the previous one, it has brought long-term peace of mind to all Chinese people. Bluer skies, clearer waters, and a more livable home—this is a blessing that benefits the present and future generations.
However, the following announcement was filled with a somber atmosphere.
"Special Warning and Penalty Notice"
"Japan has repeatedly engaged in unethical tactical cooperation with other nations' action groups during this week's competition, undermining the fairness of the competition. The evidence is conclusive. Therefore, Japan is hereby punished with the following national destiny penalty: [Resource Depletion Curse]!"
"【Resource Depletion Curse】: Within the next thirty days, the key mineral resources (including but not limited to rare earth and rare metals) already discovered in Japan will be depleted at an accelerated pace, with recoverable reserves decreasing by 30% and the success rate of new resource exploration decreasing by 50%."
The live stream room in Japan instantly erupted in chaos, filled with angry curses and cries of despair.
"Baka! Another punishment! Why?!"
"Illegal team formation? That was a deal made by those high-ranking officials and other countries! Why should we bear the consequences?"
"Our future, our industrial base, is finished!"
"Traitors! They're all traitors!"
"[Yamata no Orochi] What are you doing?! Can't you show some of the glory of our Great Sun Empire?!"
Before they could recover from the blow, the voice of the supreme god locked onto an unexpected target once again.
"The United States, as the defending champion, has twice violated regulations by smuggling a high-value strategic weapon, the AWM sniper rifle, into the top-secret space base area during this week's competition. This has resulted in a slight overrun of the reserve fund, violating the principle of 'appropriate force.' The nation is now being punished with the following penalty: [Precision Industry Decline]!"
"【Precision Industry Decline】: The yield rate of domestic high-end precision manufacturing (including chips, aerospace components, precision instruments, etc.) has decreased by 15%, and the efficiency of training skilled workers has decreased by 10%, lasting for twenty days."
This time, even the audience in the United States couldn't sit still.
"WTF? Just because of two AWMs? This punishment is too harsh!"
"Fuck! Our high-tech industry is the foundation! The God is being unfair!"
"It must be China behind this! They're jealous of our strength!"
"Adam must pay the price for his arrogance! He must come out and apologize!"
Amidst the uproar, the voice of the supreme deity seemed to carry a subtle hint of praise.
"Finally, we will present this week's additional national fortune awards."
"Lin Xuan, a Chinese player, successfully completed three extreme evacuations on the high-risk new map [Top Secret Space Base] as a solo player in the reserve group. In each evacuation, he defeated multiple operators and brought out high-value supplies, demonstrating outstanding performance."
"Special reward: Huaxia's aerospace technology R&D speed permanently increased by 5%! Simultaneously, the Huaxia Action Group's permissions are upgraded, and the security box capacity of all action group members is temporarily expanded to 2*2 (lasting until the next major competition)."
A permanent 5% speedup in aerospace research and development! This means that China will be one step ahead of others on its journey to the stars! Furthermore, the overall rewards for the China Action Team will maximize China's advantages in "running the gun" and "plundering"!
"Lin Xuan! It's Lin Xuan again!"
"He's simply a lucky charm for China! Leading his team, he's achieved countless feats!"
"A top-secret space base! He's truly amazing. He managed to break through and successfully evacuate despite the illegal joint operation. He really deserves a personal reward!"
"Two safety boxes! And their value is going to increase! The China Action Team is going to make a killing this time!"
"I'm truly impressed, Lin Shen, you're my god! I want to see you again at the next National Games!"
Inside the action group's meeting room, cheers nearly lifted the roof off.
The old leader looked at the list of rewards announced by the main god on the screen, especially the one that said "a permanent 5% increase in the speed of aerospace technology research and development," and his fingers trembled slightly with excitement.
"Great! Lin Xuan is something else! Not only did he fight for resources for us in the game, but he also pushed our technology tree forward by a huge step!"
He looked at Li Xiaolong and Fu Yuxian, his voice resolute: "The plan to form Lin Xuan's team and the new assault team must be put on the agenda immediately! We must give him our full support so that he can create even more miracles!"
Secret Service Lounge
Lin Xuan leaned quietly against the sofa
The corners of the mouth are slightly raised
Although I didn't get lucky enough to draw the big red dog in the end, this battle was enough.
The rewards from the two national competitions plus the rewards from the action team
I've done enough.
And I just asked the system.
This grand prize can be kept until the next national competition.
Then there's nothing to regret.
Just bear with it a little longer! Next time, during the national competition, we'll unleash a Tear of the Ocean that will shock the world!
"Nothing to say?" Fu Baixue brought over a glass of orange juice and handed it to Lin Xuan.
"Not bad." Lin Xuan stretched and took the orange juice from Fu Baixue.
"That's all?" Fu Baixue chuckled. "You can now be considered the benefactor of the entire action team. After so much 2x2 work, the margin for error has been greatly increased!"
Lin Xuan shrugged, completely unconcerned.
I am a man with nine safety compartments.
They don't care about that at all, okay?
"No matter how much I do, I can't change the other assault groups' hatred for me," Lin Xuan laughed. "It doesn't matter. I'll get a good rest tonight and we'll meet in the forbidden area at noon tomorrow."
"Um, well," Ji Leng suddenly spoke, somewhat embarrassed.
"Can I join you?"
Chapter 91 New Squad, New Lineup!
Lin Xuan arrived very early
I arrived at the Special Operations Unit before nine o'clock.
It just surprised him a little.
Fu Baixue and Ji Leng also arrived.
Lin Xuan subconsciously glanced at the Special Operations Department's watch.
That's right, isn't it nine in the morning?
"Why are you here so early when it wasn't supposed to be midnight?"
Ji Ling scratched the back of his head, looking a little awkward.
"Sigh, I'm just here to get to know the other operators first."
Lin Xuan felt a warmth in his heart.
But he didn't say anything.
This season's ridge is at least somewhat heartfelt.
I talked to him yesterday.
I can let him join the team.
But the prerequisite is that he must gain control of at least four more operators.
Any location is fine
Ji Ling readily agreed yesterday
I didn't think much about it.
I didn't expect him to arrive so early today.
“Ji Leng didn’t arrive early,” Fu Baixue yawned.
“I had some insomnia yesterday, and I saw him when I arrived at the Special Operations Department at five o’clock this morning.”
Lin Xuan was even more surprised now.
Could this guy have stayed up all night?
"There's no need for that. We can work things out gradually."
"Okay, I understand," Ji Ling said without adding anything more.
Turn around and try out Uluru's abilities.
Lin Xuan was starting to lose his composure.
This is a good operator.
Moreover, he is a very suitable operator for aerospace.
"How are you guys doing? If you're in good shape, you can practice shooting for half an hour and then you'll be in the forbidden area."
"I'm fine,"
The two spoke in unison
"Alright, let's practice for another half hour. Ji Leng, you'll be playing as an operator with guns later on, and you'll also be listening to information. You can handle all of that, right?"
