Things took an unexpected turn.
In the following two weeks, as Ling Yi's group performed more and more exceptionally well, the other nations could no longer sit still.
Judging from this momentum, Ling Yi's group can definitely win first place easily, without any suspense.
If the nations don't resort to some tricks, the development rights for the First Tier of the prehistoric ancient city will belong solely to the Ancient Eastern Nation.
Let's see what Ling Yi has been up to in the past two weeks.
Pottery making, iron and copper smelting, finding oil, handcrafting steam engines, building steam locomotives entirely by hand...
If that's not enough, have you ever seen Houzi drive a car? Or Houzi learn martial arts?
A whole army of Houzi who can hunt with bows and arrows and wield broadswords—are you scared yet?
Given this, which of the other contestants on the deserted island could withstand it?
Once the Second Tier begins, wouldn't Ling Yi be able to Sweep the deserted island and become invincible?
No wonder other countries say that this Ancient Eastern Nation has cheated the system. If this isn't cheating, then what is?
Faced with this situation, the other nations offered the Ancient Eastern Nation two choices.
First, allow replacement players to come to the island. These replacement players are actually elite experts prepared in advance by various countries. If they are allowed to come to the island now, their first task will probably be to eliminate Ling Yi.
Secondly, Ling Yi was asked to leave the game because Ling Yi disrupted the game balance and was unfair to other players.
If the Ancient Country disagrees, then we'll overturn the table.
So, after Ling Yi and his team Desert Island Survival for a month, they received a notification from the production team—or more accurately, a conversation between the official team and Ling Yi.
Faced with pressure from various countries and these two unreasonable conditions, let's see how Ling Yi's group chooses.
"Mr. Ling Yi, whatever choice you make, the country will fully cooperate with you."
The voice of the Big Shot came from the drone.
Only now did Jia Ying and the other two realize that there was another layer of meaning to this Desert Island Survival. No wonder this program was a collaboration between multiple countries around the world, with such a large scale.
"Actually, no matter what choice we make, as long as we continue to crush the other players, the other countries will still flip the table," Ling Yi said with some dissatisfaction. It seems that the game is about to end again.
Ling Yi was having quite a good time in this world. Of all the worlds he had traveled through, this was the one that made him feel most relaxed.
Unlike other Protagonist, Ling Yi has no main storyline or mission. In order to avoid becoming a time-traveling machine, Ling Yi needs to try to integrate into different worlds and play different roles.
If Ling Yi's initial goal was to improve his strength, then now he must maintain a sense of Ling Yi...
Ling Yi had no idea how many more worlds he would have to traverse, nor where this final destination would be.
Perhaps only when he fully masters the Laws Beyond the Boundary will he be able to break free from this circle and enter a new world. But until then, Ling Yi can only passively and continuously traverse these realms.
This is terrifying. After countless time travels, Ling Yi is worried that he will become numb and lose interest in everything.
That's not what Ling Yi wanted to see.
Maintaining a stable state of mind is what Ling Yi needs to do now, or rather, this is Ling Yi's main focus.
That's why Ling Yi was so active on the show—because he was taking it seriously.
Just as Ling Yi was getting into the swing of things in this world, the plot was about to fall apart, which made Ling Yi extremely, extremely unhappy.
Based on past experience, I'm afraid I'll be leaving again, starting strong but ending weakly.
"Sir, your insight is indeed profound. May I ask what your plans are?"
"Since they want to overturn the table, they shouldn't blame me for being uncivilized. Tell them to choose the first option, and I'll show them what despair truly means."
"Are you confident, sir?"
"Just do it without worry. Be arrogant and tell them Laozi waiting for them on the island."
The Big Shot saw absolute confidence in Ling Yi, and, just as Ling Yi said, no matter what choice they made, those who wanted to run away from the other countries would still choose to overturn the table in the end.
A week later, the first batch of replacements from various countries arrived on the island. These people were all elite warriors from their respective countries. Their survivability might not be very strong, but their Combat was absolutely terrifying.
With these replacement players arriving on the island, the First Tier has officially come to an end.
However, to the utter fury of all nations, the Second Tier had just begun when, apart from the Ancient Eastern Nation, contestants from other countries were eliminated for various reasons.
They might have been attacked by wolves, poisoned by various venomous insects, or mistaken for each other, leading to infighting...
The Second Tier had only been underway for one day when one-third of the contestants from various countries were eliminated.
A week later, only the contestants from the Ancient Eastern Nation remained on the deserted island.
Even the most foolish people in the world would know that it must have been the contestants from the Ancient Eastern Nation who were behind this.
Shouldn't we flip the table? We absolutely must flip the table.
The self-proclaimed supreme power, and the second- Northern Nation of them all, the arrogant and ignorant Mud-Leg Nation, were the first to cause trouble.
Those who could send troops did so, and those with aircraft carriers dispatched carrier fleets. In an instant, the Fengyun, and the Ancient Eastern Nation became the target of everyone's attacks.
However, this Ancient Eastern Nation is no longer the Ancient Country as it was hundreds of years ago. Today, it ranks first in both military and economic terms.
The Ugly Nation had already gradually lost its number one position more than a decade ago, but they just refused to admit it. Over the years, they've been putting on a brave face and pretending to be something they're not.
If you want to flip the table, then so be it.
The Ancient Eastern Nation deployed a fleet of 150 aircraft carriers directly into the ocean, while the Monkey Nation's border was filled with ten million soldiers and tens of thousands of Rocket- propelled tanks... Anything that crossed the border was met with bombardment.
This was the first time that the Ancient Eastern Nation had demonstrated its strength to the world, which immediately terrified all the other nations, even the Ugly Nation, which was somewhat at a loss.
If a real fight breaks out, it seems unlikely that either side will gain any advantage; the best outcome would be mutual destruction.
However, now that Ling Yi has come to this world, and since he's going to disregard martial ethics, how could he possibly allow a situation where both sides are severely injured?
Desert Island Survival have been suspended now; after all, they're pointless anymore. What's the point of Qiusheng then? Are we just watching an exclusive show from Ancient Eastern Nation?
Ling Yi directly gifted the Ancient Eastern Nation 100,000 Iron Man Armor and 10,000 Gundam mechs.
In front of the whole world, they blatantly took the lead in landing on the prehistoric civilization's giant city and publicly declared that this place belonged to our Ancient Eastern Nation, and anyone who dared to land there would be considered to have declared war.
The Ancient Country's diplomatic Big Shot even threatened, "If any nation wants to overturn the table, it must have the ability to do so. Once the table is overturned, it can never be turned back upside down."
Inside a Peasant School restaurant in the Guldo of Red City, Ling Yi, Jia Ying, Leng Feng, and Jing Tian sat cross-legged on a heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed), chatting while eating stewed goose in an iron pot.
On the television, a scene was playing: a legion of 100,000 Iron Man Armor warriors and 10,000 Gundams roaming the ancient city island.
"They weren't done playing yet, and it's over already," Jia Ying said, dissatisfied.
They are usually very busy, so this kind of life, like a vacation, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and away from work, is simply a pleasure for them.
Of course, this is all predicated on their teammate being Ling Yi.
But it was time for Ling Yi to leave.
This world is just a temporary resting place for him. Even if the other countries don't overturn the table, Ling Yi can't stay here forever.
At least the author doesn't allow it.
"I'm leaving," Ling Yi suddenly said.
Everyone looked up at him.
"So what if you're leaving? Why are you making such a big deal out of it? It's not like we can't see each other again," Leng Feng asked, puzzled.
On the contrary, Jia Ying and Jing Tian, relying on their women's intuition, remembered what Ling Yi had once said.
"As I said before, I am not from this world. I am about to leave this world and move on to the next destination."
"Is what you're saying true?" Leng Feng raised an eyebrow, incredulous.
"Traveling through Myriad Worlds? That's so cool! Did you get some kind of cheat code like the Protagonist in a novel? Or are you Reincarnator?" Jia Ying asked.
"I wouldn't call myself a Protagonist, since I lack the key elements of Protagonist in a novel, such as a main plot or an ultimate goal. My character is entirely random."
Ling Yi recounted his story.
Anyway, his system didn't say he couldn't tell anyone else this.
"You're not the Protagonist yet?" Jia Ying said speechlessly.
Ling Yi shook his head. "If I were the Protagonist, then the author of this novel must be terrible. Protagonist without plot conflicts or exciting stories—can he even be considered Protagonist? Wouldn't the author be doomed to fail miserably?"
"This world isn't some fictional world, is it?" Leng Feng asked.
"I don't know if it's a fictional world, but every world has Child of Karmic Luck, and in your world, that Child of Karmic Luck is a kid named Ling Feng, a guy with Check-In Lottery System as a cheat code."
"If you encounter him in the future, try not to provoke him."
At this moment, Jing Tian suddenly took out her phone, opened a live stream, and asked, "Is this the guy?"
The group peered over and saw a young man in Mi Cai clothing talking animatedly to the live stream camera about his hunting traps.
However, the live stream wasn't very popular.
"This guy didn't come back from the desert island," Ling Yi chuckled.
"It really is him?"
"I guess his system is related to Desert Island Survival, which is why he hasn't come back," Ling Yi added.
" Ling Yi, could you make us a system too? I want to be the Protagonist too," Jia Ying suddenly said.
Leng Feng and Jing Tian's eyes lit up, and they both looked intently at Ling Yi.
"Okay, this is simple." Ling Yi thought, "This is a good idea!"
Hearing Ling Yi's words, the three of them's eyes lit up again.
"We'll also do a live stream then, and with our popularity, we'll crush him."
Haha, I'm starting to look forward to it...
