Chapter 106 Punishment with a Deadly Severance: Sakura's Utter Despair
The prosperous and thriving scene in China has spread rapidly internationally.
And once it was announced, it instantly attracted global attention.
They looked at China, a land of soaring technology and prosperous people, and their hearts were filled with envy.
Whether it's a country that suffers punishment from its national destiny or a country that receives rewards in this round.
Their current situation is like that of a king compared to that of a beggar in China!
In particular, the physical fitness and life expectancy of the Chinese people have been increasing, and their intelligence has also improved across the board.
Many people abroad now feel like they are a completely different species from the Chinese!
Given this huge disparity, many foreigners want to immigrate to China.
However, due to the extremely strict censorship system, they were all turned away.
There were even quite a few American donuts who, without even looking, simply boarded a boat and smuggled themselves out.
However, all of these people who had smuggled goods were repatriated by China.
If force doesn't work, these foreign citizens who want to improve their lives will have to find other ways.
Some countries voluntarily transferred their core cutting-edge technologies to China, but because they were too outdated, they were rejected by China.
Some people took photos of military bases, but because they were completely useless, they were directly filtered out as spam.
Meanwhile, those foreign citizens who had previously run "Imaginary Forest" magazines became even more enthusiastic about it.
[A large supermarket in China recently experienced a power outage, causing panic among shoppers. The owner, left with no other option, asked customers to leave in an orderly fashion without paying. However, when the power was restored, the checkout counter was found to be piled high with neatly arranged paper money. Upon assessing the losses, the owner discovered that not a single person had taken the opportunity to skip out on their bill. This is the reality of a civilized nation; every citizen adheres to their moral principles.]
China's infrastructure is incredibly advanced, and it has seen explosive growth in recent years. Even the steel used for building skyscrapers and aircraft carriers comes from the same batch. Initially, everyone thought this was extremely wasteful, but one day, an unexpected incident occurred during the construction of China's aircraft carrier, requiring a large amount of steel. However, transporting steel from other regions was too late. So, every resident of the local city contributed a steel bar from their home to help the aircraft carrier overcome the crisis. Later testing revealed that all the steel bars perfectly met standards and had no impact whatsoever.
[When I traveled to China, I found a penny on the street. I was thinking of just handing it over to the police. But to my surprise, they mobilized all their officers, reviewed the surveillance footage repeatedly, and finally returned the penny to its owner. This is what a civilized country is like—protecting the property of every citizen, even if it's just a penny.]
Seeing these imaginary magazines, people abroad suddenly became even more fascinated by China.
But the Chinese people couldn't hold back when they saw this.
"Where is the China you're talking about? I want to go too!"
"This is outrageous! Don't you guys even think before you start bragging? It makes me blush!"
"So this is what it feels like to have great Confucian scholars debating the classics for me after entering the pass? This is outrageous..."
On the other side, there's a bustling and peaceful place where people live and work in peace.
The cherry blossoms are currently suffering the punishment of the nation's fate.
In the previous round, Kameda deciphered the Mandel Brick, so they did not need to suffer from Hafk's weather weapon attack.
So after the rankings were announced, the people of Sakura breathed a sigh of relief and didn't take the punishment for the national fate seriously.
They then devoted themselves to the post-disaster reconstruction work following the 250-meter tsunami.
But just then, the warning of national fate punishment finally arrived!
[The contestant "Little Days" ranked 157th in this round of competition, and therefore received a national penalty: all citizens and future newborns will permanently have their intelligence reduced by 15 and their lifespan reduced by 15.]
[Note: The rewards will become more generous with each round of the competition, and the penalties will become more severe. We hope all players will continue to strive for excellence!]
The people of Sakura didn't take these warnings seriously at all.
"I found that reducing intelligence really doesn't have much of an impact. I tried it once before and found that it didn't affect my life much."
"Indeed, as long as our players can make a comeback, that's all that matters. Next month, we'll only be adding one new player to our Sakura team. With so many people going bankrupt due to the disaster, he might only have 2000 yuan left. At that time, we'll also have a legendary player like Chen Yuan!"
"I'm so fed up! From now on, the mentally challenged can't stay silent! Look at how stupid you two are, and you still think you're not making any impact? Do you have to wait until the cherry blossoms completely disappear before you discover the truth?"
This sentence served as a wake-up call, instantly waking up countless citizens of Sakura who had become mentally challenged.
They all looked up, observing the world with their limited intelligence.
But when he looked up, he saw countless flames.
It turns out that the entire team of key personnel in the experiment was killed on the spot due to shortened lifespans.
The unattended nuclear experiment failed completely and took an unpredictable turn.
At this stage, danger could have been avoided simply by stopping in time.
But no one survived inside the laboratory!
In the previous round of the competition, Sakura's entire lifespan was reduced by 10 points.
Now it's been reduced by a full 15 points.
This led to many top-tier scientists being brought to the brink of death.
Once the punishment was handed down, they all perished!
The other lab members who arrived were unfamiliar with the subject matter and, due to their intellectual impairment, were also unable to come up with any remedial measures.
We could only watch helplessly as this failed nuclear energy experiment continued to mutate.
Ultimately, under the watchful eyes of countless people, the experiment unleashed incredibly powerful energy.
Dazzling light and flames completely engulfed everything in the research institute.
All the humans inside were instantly vaporized by the extreme heat.
Not even a corpse was left behind.
A giant mushroom cloud rose slowly over the city of Sakura.
Countless people in Sakura stared blankly at this apocalyptic scene, as if they were seeing countless familiar faces.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg of this disaster!
Because any punishment that shortens one's lifespan comes with the intention of killing!
The vast majority of middle-aged people cannot withstand a 10+15 reduction in lifespan and are directly killed.
These people are the backbone of society, young and energetic!
In an instant, the entire cherry blossom area descended into chaos.
Post-disaster reconstruction work was thus put on hold.
Cherry blossoms, a country utterly reduced to ruins.
The entire country was filled with a suffocating despair.
Many people numbly looked up at the sky, as if trying to find a glimmer of hope for the future.
But the somber curtain offered them no answers!
At this moment, all the Sakura players have been eliminated.
No Sakura players will be able to participate in the next round of the competition.
In other words, the competition hasn't even started yet.
But the outcome for Sakura was already predetermined!
It must be the reciprocal of 0!
At that time, they will not only suffer extremely severe punishment from the fate of the nation once again.
Furthermore, they would be vulnerable to Hafk weather weapons because they had not deciphered the Mandel Brick!
The thought of this filled the still-thinking citizens of Sakura with utter despair!
As for those who no longer have the ability to think.
They would just sit on the ruins and say "baba aba".
It's as if their national team athletes are about to compete next month.
Chapter 107 The final round of the competition, Tidal Prison!
A round of national fortune rewards and punishments will be distributed.
Some are happy and some are sad.
The performance of the athletes will determine the fate and future direction of each country.
Some countries are very satisfied with their athletes.
Some countries are heartbroken over their own athletes and wish they could rush into the site of their national destiny and kill them.
However, regardless of the circumstances, the final round of matches this month is just around the corner.
This is the last chance.
If you survive a full month of competition and are still alive at the end of the month, you can choose to leave the Land of National Fortune and return to Earth.
This selection of players will also allow for one more spot to be added to the roster of new players.
Some contestants had long hoped to escape this ordeal.
Some players, on the other hand, were full of fighting spirit.
After a day of rest, the final round of the competition this month has finally begun!
A national destiny prediction suddenly appeared before everyone.
[Because this is the final round of the competition this month, which will determine the overall monthly rankings, the competition format has changed and is different from previous years.]
[This round of competition uses a fixed map. The first match will be on the top-secret Tidal Prison map, meaning all players can only register for matches on Tidal Prison. Unlike previous rounds, you can also choose to withdraw if you are not worried about your performance.]
[In this round of the competition, Mandel Bricks will always spawn in Top Secret mode, have a chance to spawn in Secret mode, and have an extremely low chance of spawning in Normal mode. Teams that fail to decipher Mandel Bricks will still have their countries targeted by Hafk weather weapons.]
[It's worth mentioning that if you decode three Mandel bricks in this round, you'll receive an additional 5000 million value bonus. Although you won't receive any Huff coins, this will help improve your monthly ranking.]
All operators, please prepare for the new challenges!
Upon seeing these prompts, all the contestants were immediately thrown into an uproar!
They never expected the competition format to change like this!
"Holy crap, we can only go to Tidal Prison, and the combat readiness requirements are so high, a whopping 78!"
