The live stream from the United States.
James Hall propped his legs up on the studio table, a cigar in his hand.
"Everyone, look at the big screen."
He pointed to Su Chen in the picture.
He picked up a rusty shovel, ready to give the monster a back rub before he died.
"The people of Daxia always manage to bring unexpected comedic effects."
Laughter erupted in the studio.
The comments scrolled extremely fast.
The people of Daxia have gone mad! Do they think they're playing in the mud?
[I dug up a monster while digging a grave, and now I want to kill it with a shovel?]
[I've given up resisting. If a shovel can break through my defenses, I'll eat the keyboard.]
Get ready to pop the champagne!
Sakura Country Livestream Room.
The commentator pushed up his glasses.
"A typical stress disorder response."
"When people are in a state of extreme fear, they will perform meaningless, repetitive actions."
"The survivors in the Great Xia No. 3 have completely lost their ability to escape, and it is only a matter of time before they die."
Su Chen gripped the wooden handle tightly with both hands, his arm muscles tense.
The shovel tip was aimed at the constantly shrinking piece of soft flesh.
Stab it!
laugh--
There are no solid obstacles.
The rusty shovel tip pierced the soft flesh cleanly and neatly, disappearing completely into the breathing hole.
Su Chen then pressed his entire weight onto the wooden handle.
Press down!
crunch.
The shovel churned inside the monster's skull, damaging its most vulnerable nerve centers.
The gray-green hard shell beneath my feet suddenly bounced.
Acidic mud splattered everywhere.
The mud fell onto Su Chen's trouser legs, corroding them and creating black holes.
The swamp devourer's massive body convulsed violently, its bone spurs on its back trembled wildly, and the swamp within a ten-meter radius churned up with a large number of bubbles.
There was no roaring.
There was no struggle.
The convulsion lasted less than three seconds before stopping abruptly.
His raised back went completely limp.
A system notification tone then sounded.
[Slay a D-rank Aberration: Swamp Devourer]
Experience points gained: 50
[Dropped Item: Silver Treasure Chest x1]
A silver treasure chest, half a meter long, emerged from the mud above the monster's head and floated quietly on the surface of the acidic mud.
At the same time.
A golden banner simultaneously appeared on the system panels of all survivors worldwide and above the live streams of more than 200 countries.
[Global Announcement!]
[Su Chen, a player from the Great Xia Kingdom, successfully killed a D-level mutant, achieving the world's first kill!]
[Reward: Increase in the Great Xia Kingdom's fortune!]
[Lifespan of all Great Xia citizens increased by 1 year, physical constitution increased by 2!]
Quiet.
The live stream chat in the global chat room completely stopped at that moment.
James Hall dropped his cigar onto his trousers, burning through his expensive suit pants with a spark, but he was completely oblivious.
The commentator from Japan stared wide-eyed, his glasses slipping off his nose and crashing onto the table.
The Russian bear country, the British Empire, the Gallic Empire... Everyone who saw this announcement went blank.
Three seconds later.
After a period of silence, the chat in Da Xia's live stream erupted like a volcano!
[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!!]
[First kill? We got the world's first kill?!]
[He killed a D-rank monster with a rusty iron shovel?!]
[Did I just blink? What happened?! One-hit kill! Instant kill!]
[That's a monster from an S-rank disaster zone!!!]
Where is Professor Zhao?! Where is Professor Zhao from the National Defense University?! Come out and analyze this!
The camera cuts to Zhao Mingyuan.
He sat in front of the camera, the pen he was clutching tightly in his hand broken in half, the ink staining his knuckles black.
"Weakness attack".
His voice trembled slightly, yet it was firm and resolute.
"The monster is in a dormant state, its defense is at its weakest. Su Chen precisely located its only fatal weakness."
"Killed in one blow."
Lin Xiaotang quickly chimed in, "Professor Zhao, this shows that Su Chen isn't just randomly poking around; he possesses extremely sophisticated tactical skills!"
Zhao Mingyuan nodded emphatically.
Bold yet meticulous.
"The ability to find the only chance of survival in dire circumstances is a quality possessed only by the most elite survivors."
The content of the live stream chat also changed dramatically at this time.
[Oh my god! I've always been weak and sickly, and I suddenly developed a high fever and climbed six flights of stairs without getting out of breath!]
My grandfather was in the ICU, and the doctor had just said he was going to die, but then his heartbeat came back! The nurse said, "Grandpa Zhou is alive!" The doctor said it was a miracle!
[The +2 to my physical fitness is real! I'm nearsighted (500 degrees), but now I can see the windows of the building across the street clearly without my glasses!]
[Holy crap! My legs, which had been numb for ten years, just regained feeling! I stood up! I stood up from my wheelchair!!!]
My years-long rheumatism and bone pain are completely cured!
【Su Shen! From today onwards, you are my one and only Su Shen!!!】
[I kowtow to God Su! Thank you, God Su, for extending my life by one year!]
The entire nation of Daxia was in an uproar, and the emotions of 300 million viewers were completely ignited.
Despair was replaced by ecstasy.
Overseas live streams, however, are filled with sour grapes.
The barrage comments from the US have become active again.
[It was pure luck! The monster was still sleeping!]
[It was just a lucky fluke. The conscious monster with the swapped head would have been devoured long ago, leaving not even bones.]
People of Great Xia, don't be too smug!
James Hall finally snapped out of his daze, frantically swatting out the sparks on his pants and scrambling to tidy himself up.
"The Great Xia Kingdom was indeed lucky, but that doesn't change anything."
He pointed to the data on the screen, trying to remain calm.
"Don't forget, everyone. He's still in an S-class disaster zone, without a vehicle, relying entirely on his own two legs."
"How did he get out of this toxic swamp? Fifty meters? One hundred meters?"
James forced a stiff smile.
"So what if he gets the first kill? He'll still be a corpse in ten minutes!"
The commentator from Japan put on his spare glasses and chimed in, "That's right. When a player dies, the country suffers a disaster of the same magnitude. Su Chen doesn't even have a usable car right now; Great Xia is celebrating too soon."
In Da Xia's live stream room.
Amidst the frenzied barrage of comments, a few unusual messages drifted by.
[Wait, look at Su Chen's health!]
Holy crap, it's still falling!
In the center of the image.
Su Chen stood in the acidic swamp, stepping on the monster's corpse.
The smell of rotten eggs in the air grew stronger, and inhaling it brought a burning sensation to the lungs.
The top right corner of the system panel.
Current Health: 74/100
[WARNING: The concentration of poison gas is continuously rising, and the rate of health loss is accelerating]
74 became 72.
The audience's ecstasy was instantly extinguished.
[Why is it falling even faster than before!]
He's at the heart of the drug world!
【What can we do? The tricycle is too heavy; it can't even move!】
That was a real lifespan boost! I can't die like this!
[God help me, please don't let Su Shen die!]
The trend in the comments section took a sharp turn, turning into a screen full of prayers.
The camera cuts back to the studio.
Zhao Mingyuan stared at the screen, his expression grave.
"The deadly swamp not only contains acidic corrosion but also neurotoxins. Exposure to air for five minutes will cause hallucinations, and organ failure will occur within ten minutes."
"He has been exposed for more than seven minutes now, without any protective gear. Once his health drops below fifty, he will enter a weakened state and even walking will become a problem."
Lin Xiaotang pressed her hands on the table: "Then what should we do now? Rescue teams can't get in at all."
"Self-help."
Zhao Mingyuan pointed to the wooden box in the center of the picture.
"His only hope lies in that first kill chest. It must contain high-level protective items or an antidote."
"Otherwise, death is certain."
Su Chen ignored the red warning on the panel.
As the concentration of poisonous gas increases, the rate of blood loss accelerates.
There's a supply crate 38 meters to the north, containing medkits and healing fluid. But going there now will only hasten your death.
The only variable is this box in front of us.
It must be opened.
The blisters on the skin's surface had merged into one patch, and after rupturing, they oozed yellow fluid.
He bent down and embraced the silver treasure chest that was floating on the mud with both hands.
Current Health: 69/100
