Surviving the Maze of National Destiny: Hints from the Chinese Characters I Understand

With the death of the level 6 bear, a wave of notifications appeared, making Lin Mo extremely happy.

[Congratulations on defeating the Level 6 Violent Bear! You have obtained 6 Beast Cores and a large amount of Life Essence. Your Life Level has increased to Level 5 (87%). Kabu has obtained a certain amount of Labyrinth Essence, and his Life Level has increased to Level 6 (50%).]

What?! I killed a level 6 Berserker Bear, which gave me 50% of my Life Essence, instantly leveling me up by half!

Kabu is also level 6. It requires more life essence to upgrade, but it also gains 30%, which is a good deal.

Using all 6 beast cores directly grants 48% progress in swordsmanship proficiency, raising swordsmanship to LV9 (50%). The remaining 2% is gained during combat.

Level 10 swordsmanship isn't far off! Lin Mo was excited. If he could get level 10 swordsmanship before the PUBG tournament and awaken his moves, his win rate would be even higher.

"Chirp chirp (Wow! So much stuff!)" Fatty Kabu and Lin Mo crawled into the tree hole together and discovered the supplies inside.

Especially when Cappuccino saw potatoes, his saliva immediately started flowing.

20 potatoes (10 jin), a 5-jin cod, and 1 jin of honey.

Cod is a higher quality mist food than honey, so this wave is very profitable.

"System, return the supplies immediately." Lin Mo knew that countless people were longing for food at this moment. As long as he got the supplies, he would return them immediately, which would alleviate the situation as much as possible. But this time, there were quite a lot of supplies.

You have successfully returned 784 million catties of potatoes, 78.4 catties of honey, and 392 million catties of cod.

784 million potatoes were distributed to 14 billion people, amounting to only a few grams per person, but there were other supplies and other explorers.

The 20 Dragon Kingdom explorers are under considerable pressure to support the entire Dragon Kingdom's material needs.

"I'll make the people of the Dragon Kingdom eat meat until they're sick of it." Lin Mo set himself a small goal.

In addition to the food, the silver chest also contained 2 units of refined iron, 2 fire elements, 2 units of copper, and 2 units of wood.

Lin Mo used 2 units of refined iron to repair the alloy armor to 100 durability.

After finishing all this, Lin Mo checked his health level, which was 85 points. He prepared to take a short rest, drink some honey water, and then continue exploring.

In a small house in China, a Chinese netizen enthusiastically began roasting the small amount of ant eggs he had been allocated. His family of five only received a small spoonful, but the amount of potatoes, rice, and drinking water was more than usual.

The room was filled with a strong, sour, rotten smell.

"Son, you should try it!" A netizen from China told his son to try it first, as this stuff is said to be very nutritious.

The three-year-old son ran several meters away, determined not to obey.

Chinese netizens had to test the poison themselves. He took a sip, and then…

To describe someone enjoying delicious food, you could say their taste buds are blossoming; in this case, their taste buds are exploding.

"No, I can't be the only one suffering." A netizen from China immediately picked up his phone and typed a message in Lin Mo's live stream room #66.

[Chinese netizens: Holy crap! Guys? Did you get any ant eggs? The smell was amazing! It stinks, but tastes incredible.]

[A netizen from China: What are you talking about??? I didn't dare continue baking it halfway through.]

[A netizen from China: I'll try it too. Just so you know, Chinese people don't lie to other Chinese people, so don't try to fool your fellow countrymen.]

The first netizen who ate ant eggs was now laughing hysterically while holding his phone. His family looked on in disbelief, and his youngest son even ran over and tasted some of the ant eggs. He figured his dad must be enjoying them so much.

Although he frowned and his face turned red, he didn't spit it out because his mother had said that every grain of food was earned by the explorers of the Dragon Kingdom with their lives, and it was absolutely forbidden to waste it.

[Chinese netizens: Holy crap! Who said it smells bad but tastes good? Come out here! I need to talk to you. It clearly smells bad and tastes even worse!]

[A Chinese netizen commented: Damn, I never thought I could be fooled by watching a live stream. This is really awful.]

[A netizen from China commented: "I admire Brother Lin the most. He could eat two by himself. He's a tough guy, no need to say more!"]

[A netizen from China commented: This must be very nutritious, otherwise Brother Lin definitely wouldn't eat it. He has plenty of food. Everyone, please don't waste it. I suggest giving it to women, children, and the elderly; they need nutrition.]

[Chinese netizen: Yes, yes, I'll bake some for my wife right away.]

In the Ximeng command center, a group of expert representatives pointed and gestured at the live broadcast split screen.

"Explorer No. 41 from India, Level 6 (51%), has begun to conserve his energy and adjust his health to 100 before fully preparing for the maze battle royale competition."

"The Rising Sun Kingdom, players number 27 and 34 have already reached level 6 and are preparing to participate in the competition at level 7. We are ready."

"Number 39 of Nan Yue Kingdom, Level 6 (75%), is replenishing water and food, then resting for 8 hours, and then going all out."

"Free Nation Units 29 and 39 are ready..."

Reports were gathered in the command hall, and the experts from various countries nodded in satisfaction.

"Lin Mo is a threat to all our countries. The Elite Project has obviously failed. Although we can't kill him in this battle royale, we must prevent the Dragon Kingdom explorers from gaining any benefits from this competition. If we sweep the top three spots, our strength will increase significantly, and we may be able to suppress Lin Mo in the future." The representative of the Free Nation's appraiser said with a determined look.

"Lin Mo is participating in the elite group. In this group, our Western Alliance can mobilize more than 150 contestants, while the Dragon Kingdom and its allies have a maximum of more than 70 people. Among them, we have as many as 50 explorers stuck at level 6. With such a lineup, how can we possibly lose?" The appraiser from the Indian Kingdom smiled. He felt that this time he could finally avenge the explorer who had been killed twice by Lin Mo.

"Indeed, the advantage lies with us!" The representative of the appraiser from the Great Han Kingdom rarely agreed with the idea of ​​the people from the Tianzhu Kingdom.

"This PUBG competition was the first showdown between our Western Alliance and the Dragon Kingdom. After the competition, the Dragon Kingdom realized how terrible the gap was and never recovered." The appraiser from the Rising Sun Kingdom stroked his little mustache.

Explorers from all countries are preparing for this competition, from beginners to experts.

After drinking the honey water, Lin Mo felt much more energetic. While resting, he baked all 43 potatoes. Since they wouldn't get cold in his personal space and would remain in a stable state, baking them all at once saved him the trouble.

These were Kabu's provisions. Lin Mo put away 40 fragrant roasted potatoes and gave the other 3 as a reward to Kabu.

This guy looks like a toad. Lin Mo had seen a sci-fi movie called Alien Battlegrounds, and Kabu looked remarkably like the Martian dog in it.

At this moment, Kabu squatted on the ground like a lapdog, his big tongue sticking out and wagging, looking like he was begging for food.

"Cappuccino!" It excitedly caught the potato and devoured it in no time.

Lin Mo was about to hurry up. There were 12 hours and 33 minutes left before the start of the match. He still had some time to eat and rest so that he could enter the match map with 100% health.

Keep in mind that health is consumed three times faster on the game map than outside.

The prompts in the four directions in front of you are clear and easy to understand.
