What's the crash? I'm playing the game normally.

Chapter 736 Bai Wan's Team Competition - The Apple Picking Contest Begins!
After seeing the player's comment, I was stunned for a moment, then did a simple operation and saw the scene that had just flashed by. It should be from Region C of Continent A.

What's going on? Why did she burn the NPC? Did she see that right?
What happened in Zone C?

The rabbit looked confused.

...

In Area C, inside the wooden house where Bai Wan was, all the players stared at the burning old man without saying a word.

The pig-headed old man seemed to be quite durable, showing no signs of burning out.

As dawn broke and the night passed, the black campfire stopped burning on its own. The old man was charred black, but it looked like it would last a long time.

"This old man is really good at keeping things burning..." Zhang Liang couldn't help but mutter.

"Nonsense, a single pig bristle can burn for a long time. How many pig bristles does this old man have on him?"

"Hmm... does that mean we won't need fuel for a long time?" Tang Huo asked, his eyes wide.

She was a newcomer, and this was her first time encountering such a bizarre situation.

“I wonder how long this fuel will last. As it stands… it seems to burn quite well.” He Hua looked at Bai Wan with a complicated expression.

Because of the young man's outrageous actions, they went so far as to roast the old NPC as well.

I don't know how this action will turn out in the future, but the game is starting to feel strange.

Ten minutes later, it was already broad daylight. He Hua and the others went out to explore again, passing directly through the pigman village and arriving at the location of the largest apple tree.

Now they have a strong old man, and they have no shortage of fuel, but they still lack food. Although they got a lot of bananas from those evil killers, food is consumed quickly, so the more the better.

Tall apple trees stand in the distance, while a large wooden house is nearby.

He Hua and the other players went inside to visit. The wooden house was filled with supplies, including a lot of food and fruit, and even some weapons. The materials used to build the house were also very rare. All the players could exchange apples for some valuable equipment, tables and chairs, and even the bricks and tiles of the wooden house. Everything was available for exchange.

“My grandmother is critically ill. She loved eating apples when she was alive, so I was thinking that if you could get an apple, I would trade anything in the house for it, whether it was physical weapons or even the bricks and tiles in our house.”

A little girl's sweet voice rang out in the players' ears. Beside her was a critically ill old woman lying on a hospital bed with an IV drip in her hand.

"This little girl is so filial." Tang Huo took a liking to the cute girl who was staying by the side of the critically ill old woman.

"I didn't bring you here to see the NPCs' filial piety. The things in this wooden house are very good. We can exchange everything, from weapons to food. Especially the materials in these wooden houses. The wood in the houses is quite precious. It's bloodwood, which has the effect of dispelling evil spirits. We can exchange some to put in our own wooden houses to improve security," Li Hailong explained to Tang Huo.

Li Hailong glanced at Tang Huo, somewhat displeased with her.

He doesn't like emotional girls, as it can cause them trouble in action.

"I know Brother Li, I was just saying."

Zhang Liang gently nudged his girlfriend, and Tang Huo immediately realized what he meant, shutting her mouth and saying nothing more.

"This place is indeed very nice, but we need to win the competition first and get a lot of apples before we can exchange them with her. To exchange for enough food, we need at least 10 apples. Wood is even rarer, so we need at least 20 apples."

After He Hua finished speaking, she turned and left the wooden house, walking towards the apple tree, and everyone followed her.

The group went around to the back of the house, where a tall apple tree stood before them. "What a huge apple tree!"

Zhang Liang was amazed when he saw the apple tree in front of him. At first glance, it didn't look like a tree, but more like a tall mountain.

The massive foliage practically obscures the entire view, with densely intertwined branches laden with red apples, growing denser the higher they go. But what's most breathtaking is the very top of the apple tree, where an enormous apple shimmers with a faint, iridescent glow, hidden among the clouds, its true form only vaguely visible.

He Hua explained, "This is a very important map in the Black Evil Mother game - the Creation Apple Tree. The seven-colored apple seems to be the source of all apples. With it there, this tree will continuously grow apples."

"Apples will greatly increase our satiety if we consume them, and we can also use them to exchange for supplies with the little girl we visited before."

"However, getting the apples won't be easy. First, we need to climb up the branches of that tree. Each branch has many strange guardians, and we need to overcome these strange guardians to get the apples. Second, we also need to compete against another team."

He Hua pointed ahead.

Bai Wan and the others looked on curiously, only to see another group of people watching them from afar in the area ahead, seemingly having been waiting there for quite some time.

"The two teams will have an apple-picking competition. Only the team that picks the most apples will be the winner and can take all the apples home. If they lose, they won't be able to take any apples home and will have picked them all for nothing."

Li Hailong nodded and said, "I also know the rules of this Apple Tree. I participated once. The opposing teams usually come from different regions. We are from Zone C, so our opponents should be from other regions."

"The two teams are in different spaces but can see each other without interfering with each other. They are only competing to see who can pick the most apples. So everyone should try their best to pick as many as possible. There are 10 minutes in total."

Li Hailong reminded everyone.

While Bai Wan's team walked under the Genesis Apple Tree, the Black Evil Mother was in the game.

The rabbit-themed streamer's eyes lit up when he saw the glittering apple tree on the screen and said, "Dear viewers, two lucky teams have found the apple tree, and an apple-picking competition is about to begin. One of the teams is actually Tao Le's team, and it looks like they're likely to win."

Tao Le is also a well-known player on the Black Evil Mother Forum. He is famous for his speed in picking apples, but in terms of strength, he is only among the top five in the region. However, his apple-picking skills are probably comparable to Lu Zhu's. He has powerful picking skills that are both fast and accurate.

After the rabbit gave a brief introduction, she switched the camera to other areas and started streaming the other Continental Lord-level players, since the four Continental Lords were the ones she was really interested in.

...

"I'm lucky this time, and I found an apple tree. I'm going to pick forty apples in this competition." A man in white smiled confidently. He is Tao Le, the current record holder for the tallest apple tree in the Genesis competition.

In the previous round, he scored 35 goals.

"Tao Ge will definitely handle it. Let's make them feel hopeless." Another teammate smiled.

"Let's go pick some together."

Tao Le was also quite skilled in agility. She was very light and nimble, casually leaping onto a branch and grabbing directly at the apple. Her movements were so natural and light that even Guai Qi didn't react in time.

Harvesting the Creation Apple Tree involves dealing with many strange occurrences, so it's best to avoid being discovered by them. Tao Le's exceptional agility and strength allow her to repeatedly break records.

Tao Le casually glanced at He Hua's team and saw that their team was moving very slowly, which made her smile.

This time, first place is definitely mine.
