Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 1048



Chapter 1048: Chapter 967: The Jungle Becomes Restless!_1 Chapter 1048: Chapter 967: The Jungle Becomes Restless!_1 Next to Yi’s humble wooden house, Victoria sat up, looking dazed.

Connar was nowhere to be found.

Only Shuihua remained, administering her “potion” to the others one by one.

Those who drank Shuihua’s medicine were all furious, veins popping, ready to vomit at any moment.

But before they could throw up, they would drop dead on the spot, evaporating into a stream of light.

Luckily, most of the players by the lake had already set temporary save points – just like Victoria, who had borrowed Yi’s house before she had a chance to build her shelter, so she wasn’t sent back to the login point.

Victoria first retreated to her virtual house to bring Connar back.

Then she went straight to Shuihua: “Shuihua!

Your potion…”

“How is it?

Useful, isn’t it?”

“No…” Victoria shook her head, “If it’s not an antidote, then why did you let me choose it in the first place?”

“I was letting you choose the ‘way forward’,” Shuihua calmly replied, “As for the antidote…

I don’t know anything about herbs, where am I to find an antidote?”

Victoria widened her eyes: “You were letting me choose my manner of death??”

How could you be so cruel while wearing an Angel’s Halo on your head??

Shuihua, however, saw no problem with this.

She handed the cup in her hand to Victoria: “Help wake them up, I’ll go make more.”

– Of course Shuihua didn’t see a problem.

She didn’t earn her [Merciful Gun] achievement for being exceptionally kind and unwilling to kill.

She was firing all the time!

Her gun bore near exploded from the constant use!

But, she just couldn’t get any kills…

What choice did she have?!

What surprised her even more was: this achievement seemed really hard to get.

During the Second [Freedom Day], many players attempted to earn the same achievement as Shuihua.

But the Second [Freedom Day] was a global free-for-all event, hotter than the first one.

Until the end, not a single player was awarded a second Angel’s Halo.

In short, it wasn’t wrong to poison a few people, or even to hack at them with an axe.

The axe she pulled out was certainly no joke!

If Victoria had looked at her in a wrong way, she might have been the recipient of Shuihua’s axe to the skull.

Of course, Shuihua was a mentally healthy high school girl.

Under the control of Dynamic Grading and Cloud Dream’s explicit content regulations, the imagery wasn’t particularly scary.

She took out more poisonous plants from her backpack and started “chopping vegetables.” The Poisonous Wolf sat by her side, occasionally coughing as it clearly disliked the smell of the poisonous plants.

– Previously, it was because the Poisonous Wolf was pushing Shuihua away from a patch of ground that she discovered this type of poisonous plant.

After Yi and Super Tomato revived, they greeted Shuihua and then each took a cup of poison to feed to the unlucky players scattered around.

From this, one could see the unique status of Shuihua.

Although she’d never streamed a game, countless players were eagerly waiting, or even eagerly anticipating her stream.

Even major virtual world streamers valued their relationships with her.

Not only those who knew her well such as Victoria, Yi, and Super Tomato, but also those who’d never met her before.

If they saw Shuihua during a game, they’d warmly greet her and ask to be friends…

The players who died from Shuihua’s poison weren’t mad when they resurrected.

Instead, they happily ran over to thank her and asked to be friends.

Shuihua knew about her mascot status in the virtual world as well.

The friend spots were said to be as lucky as “blessings from high monks”, with Lance even joking that she could “get rich selling friend spots.”

But Shuihua wasn’t thinking about these absurd things, she just added more friends.

Soon, the lakeside that had been littered with “corpses” was once again full of life.

In fear, everyone disposed of their remaining meat and began to try to catch fish in the lake.

After all, the “satiety” problem had to be solved.

Since they couldn’t eat wolf meat, their only option was to catch fish.

Wild fruits weren’t enough to fill their stomachs.

Besides, who could guarantee that the wild fruits weren’t poisonous?

Yi added some green wood to the bonfire, causing the smoke to rise again, continuing to summon scattered players who had completed the “Newbie Challenge.”

*

The lakeside was busy again.

People were catching fish, building houses, exchanging information about wild fruits, creating traps with available materials, discussing next targets…

they had it all.

A few of the anchors also sat together, first curiously asking Shuihua how she tamed the wild wolf.

After learning that it was due to the [Merciful Gun] achievement, they helplessly abandoned the idea of getting one themselves and began discussing the next steps.

Yi’s goal remained unchanged: establish a player gathering area here, use it as a base, understand the species information in the forest – especially their weaknesses, manufacture weapons and dry rations, and prepare thoroughly before setting off on a longer journey.

“Not only will this make our later development more smooth, but it will also make it easier for players who arrive later to get started.”

Super Tomato immediately said, “So, you think the challenge proposed by Lincoln will be difficult to complete in a short term?”

“Definitely can’t be completed!” Yi was very certain, “This is definitely a long-term project, there might even be large-scale battles – you all know how much Lincoln likes big scenes.”

Speaking of Lincoln’s love for big scenes, Super Tomato and Victoria immediately nodded.

Afterwards, they began discussing tasks like making fishing nets and finding seeds.

While Shuihua, holding Connar, was excitedly stroking her soft dragon tail, opting not to participate in the discussion.

She, an ordinary player, chose not to involve herself in discussing something as “big” as “making life easier for those who come later.”

As everyone was busy with their own tasks, more and more players reached the lakeside, slowly nearing a critical point.

And then, Thomas, along with his mechanical art wife (unilaterally), walked into the temporary camp.

At that moment, the number of players at the temporary camp officially reached 100.

It was also at this moment that the jungle began to stir restlessly.

“Roar~~”

“Awooo~~”

“Rrrah~~~”

“Ugh ugh ugh~~”

All sorts of beastly roars suddenly echoed in the forest.

All the people in the camp stopped their work and looked towards the forest.

But the layers upon layers of trees blocked their vision; they could only see some of the taller distant trees slightly shaking, and the dense treetops that looked like giant parasols.

The rustling of the leaves made a sizzling sound.

After that, the earth began to tremble slightly.

The unfamiliar, frantic roars of beasts, from far to near, and within the rumbling sound, the tremors of the earth became more and more obvious.

“…This scene, why does it seem familiar?” Yi unconsciously voiced out.

“Whoo–whoo–whoo~~” By Shuihua’s side, the poisonous wolf bit her trousers, urging her to run.

“Beast tide?” Victoria unconsciously took Connar from Shuihua’s arms, intending to send the little one back first.

But—

[The current area is in a state of war.

If you forcibly log out, you cannot log back in until the battle is over.]

[If the login point is destroyed in battle, you will return to the spawn point upon your next login.]

“War?” Victoria was completely surprised.

She looked up and saw that the fastest batch of beasts had already charged to a place not far away.

The packs of poisonous wolves, giant leopards twice or three times larger than the poisonous wolves, wild monkeys leaping and running on treetops, rhinos with giant bony hammers on their heads that could break tree trunks in half when they charged, swooping birds of prey…

[Poisonous Wolf], [Death God Beast], [Pan Fox Monkey], [Hammerhead Beast], [Heavy Armor Horse]…

One fierce beast after another appeared on the stage, making Victoria dazzled.

However, she was perfectly sure: The attackers were all beasts!

Not a single person, nor any other humanoid creatures or non-humanoid aliens appeared.

Leaving her very puzzled:

“War?

With who?”

“Can it be considered a war with beasts?”
