As the official announcement appeared in the contestants' Live Stream Rooms, viewers from every country learned that Xu Fan had found a Treasure Chest and secured a vast stretch of forest resources for the Yan Kingdom.
Many viewers from the Curry Kingdom flooded into the Live Stream Room, outraged.
In recent years, the Curry Kingdom had pulled all sorts of baffling stunts that left the people of the Yan Kingdom scratching their heads.
No one could figure out what those people were trying to do.
Now, seeing the Curry Kingdom's viewers suddenly launch into long, indignant tirades,
most viewers from the Yan Kingdom were laughing in disbelief.
"Even shamelessness has its limits, doesn't it? Stop dreaming, will you?"
"How can they show their faces after licking their lips like that?"
"I'm dying of laughter, but I'm not laughing at all."
"Friends, what do you make of the Curry Kingdom's stunt? Any Curry fan buddies here?"
"What do I make of it? What else? It's a joke. Who's going to waste their time arguing with idiots?"
Given the Curry Kingdom's string of bizarre antics in recent years, even when they picked a fight from afar, viewers from the Yan Kingdom couldn't be bothered to respond.
After seeing Xu Fan open the Treasure Chest, they focused all their attention on the resources he had just secured.
"Have to admit, our Curry Kingdom buddies reminded me of something. Does anyone know where the resources Xu Fan won were manifested?"
"Do you guys never watch the news? The authorities have already released drone footage."
"That forest appeared in our great northwest, breathing new life into an already barren region. And that's not all—it can also help prevent disasters like mudslides!"
"I just got back from WB. The aerial footage looks absolutely beautiful. If you haven't seen it yet, go check it out!"
For a time, the entire Yan Kingdom was in an uproar of celebration.
Judging by the footage and videos posted on WB...
The precious resources Xu Fan had secured for the Yan Kingdom included not only pine and cypress trees, but all kinds of plants and animals.
They had even discovered a river deep in the forest!
It had breathed new life into the desolate northwestern region!
Most importantly...
The authorities had publicly announced that they had gathered experts from various fields and sent them to the forest that had appeared in the real world.
If they could discover mineral deposits or other resources there,
that would be even better!
Without a doubt, the entire country was immersed in joy!
Xu Fan's name spread throughout the Yan Kingdom on the heels of this astonishing discovery.
Especially after Xu Fan mentioned that his younger sister would be going to university next year.
Many business owners publicly pledged...
They would cover his sister's tuition and living expenses from then on!
On top of that, countless prestigious universities had decided to offer Xu Fan's sister guaranteed admission!
Still, it was worth noting that...
Although the resources Xu Fan had secured this time were magnificent and beautiful,
they were still a drop in the bucket compared with the Yan Kingdom's population of over two billion.
They couldn't even fully solve the resource shortage in the great northwest.
But that did nothing to diminish everyone's hopes for the future.
Maybe one forest wasn't enough...
But what if they got ten more?
What about a hundred?
As long as Xu Fan kept exploring the Forbidden Land, there would always be a chance for the Yan Kingdom to obtain more of these precious resources!
What gave everyone the most confidence was...
Xu Fan had not only impressive mental and physical fortitude, but also absurdly good luck.
And now, Wrist Strength Enhancement had boosted his combat power even further.
It was no exaggeration to say that in terms of sheer physical strength, Xu Fan might already be the strongest person in the Forbidden Land!
Of course...
Some people still remained pessimistic.
No matter how you looked at it, no one could stay lucky forever.
Xu Fan had escaped danger this time, but what about the next?
And the time after that?
In fact...
Before everyone understood what was happening and thought Xu Fan was putting his life on the line,
quite a few people had already attacked Xu Fan and his family online.
Those comments had been deleted quickly, but the internet never forgot.
Many people felt somewhat guilty toward Xu Fan.
Still, whatever else might be said, things were currently developing in a positive direction.
Inside the Live Stream Room.
Host Xiao Ying saw Xu Fan resting on the Snow Wolf King without moving, so she turned to Brother Qiang and asked, "By the way, Brother Qiang, based on your wilderness survival experience, what should our little Xu Fan do next?"
After all, Xu Fan couldn't stay tense forever.
Nor could he keep moving nonstop.
During lulls like this, the hosts often had to find a topic and liven up the atmosphere.
"If I were Xu Fan, I wouldn't keep going," Brother Qiang said, taking a deep breath as he began his analysis with utmost seriousness.
"Look at the sky. It's already getting dark, which means the laws of the Forbidden Land are similar to those of Blue Star."
"It has night there, too."
Only after Brother Qiang pointed it out did the viewers in the Live Stream Room start noticing this detail.
After all, Brother Qiang was the foremost wilderness survival expert. Even before joining the show, he had already amassed more than ten million followers.
"Anyone who knows even a little about wilderness survival knows that the greatest threat out there often isn't the terrifying-looking beasts."
"It's nightfall!"
"Once night comes, the sudden drop in temperature can make the human body struggle to adapt and trigger all kinds of illnesses."
"On top of that, snakes, insects, rats, and ants all come out in droves. They may be tiny, but they often carry all kinds of bacteria and toxins."
"Without modern medical care, the risk of death will skyrocket!"
Brother Qiang's analysis was thorough and convincing.
The others agreed completely.
That was right.
Defeating the Snow Wolf King was only the beginning.
How to get through the night was the major challenge Xu Fan had to face now!
"So if it were me, I'd first find a way to get off the ground, maybe by building a wooden shelter, and then... make a fire!"
"I wonder how our Xu Fan will handle it."
Brother Qiang's gaze sharpened. He looked forward to seeing what Xu Fan would do next, but couldn't help feeling a little worried, too.
