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

The chat in Moran's live stream was flooded with comments, all from netizens in India:

[A netizen from India: Moran Moran, who dares to stop her?]

"Huh? What kind of maze monster is this?" Moran, carrying a long spear, saw a giant toad staring at him. There was a string of divine runes above the toad's head, but he couldn't quite understand them.

[Battle Pet: Big Mouth Beast Level 7 (11%)]

Moran couldn't understand the words "battle pet," but he could understand level 7. He was shocked: Holy crap, isn't this supposed to be the elite group for levels 4-6? Why are level 7 maze creatures spawning here?

However, the viewers in Lin Mo's live stream were watching Lin Mo the whole time, and they knew what was going on. They were instantly dumbfounded.

[A netizen from India: Huh? ??? Are you fucking kidding me? You let a level 7 battle pet in? Is this even humanly possible?]

[A netizen from India: I recognize this battle pet. It belongs to Lin Mo from China. It likes to eat potatoes and also likes to slap people.]

[A netizen from India: Calm down, our explorers aren't at a disadvantage either! If we can seriously injure them, they won't be able to hold on. At worst, they'll just explode.]

[Indian netizens: Yes! It's exploded!]

At that moment, the number of viewers in the live stream room in India suddenly surged from 2 million to 5 million.

That's right, the vast army of Chinese netizens came to see what was going on, following the information provided by the all-knowing internet community.

[A netizen from China: Wow, so this is really the place! Front row seats, sunflower seeds, bottled water, watching the first person eliminated, witnessing history.]

[Chinese netizens: Congratulations, Brother India! Your Explorer is the first player in the history of the maze game to be eliminated. No one can take that title away from you now.]

[A Pakistani netizen commented: "The elimination speed is incredible, they're leading by a wide margin, they're winning like crazy!"]

[A netizen from India: The fighting hasn't even started yet, what do you know!]

[A netizen from India: Even if our explorers are defeated in a 1v2 battle, we will make you pay a heavy price. Let's see what you do next!]

[Chinese netizens: It's started! It's started! Kabu has made its move! Go Kabu!]

The next moment, the person covered by Kabu was revealed, and it was Lin Mo.

Moran seemed to understand something; this huge guy was actually his battle pet?!

But what's the use of understanding it?

The giant toad had already charged out, its forepaws unfurling a pair of gleaming golden claws, and it roared, "Take this!"

Moran's level 6 life strength was maxed out. His spear shot out like a dragon, and the sound of wind breaking suddenly rose as it pierced directly at the charging Kabu.

Kabu leaped into the air from a distance of 5 meters from Moran. It was an agile fat man, and its 510-pound weight actually allowed it to perform a leaping motion.

That's right, it's gained another 10 pounds recently. You can compliment someone by saying "You're the best!", but to compliment Kabu, you can only say, "You're the fattest!"

The fat claws covered in Death Grip swung forward with both hands.

"Bang! Bang!" Two loud noises rang out in succession.

With the first sound, Kabu's left hand directly slapped Moran's spear away dozens of meters, and the spear stuck directly into the ground.

With the second thud, Kabu's right hand sent Moran, who no longer had his spear to rely on, flying 10 meters away. Three deep, bone-revealing wounds on Moran's chest gushed blood uncontrollably, like small fountains.

My health bar is down by 40% and it's still dropping.

[Chinese netizens: Holy crap, Kabu's got that physique for real, he knelt down in one shot?]

[A netizen from India: You despicable Chinese, Moran, why don't you step up! Why don't you make a move?]

[A netizen from the Great Cold Country commented: There's no chance to make a move now, the funeral is just around the corner.]

[Chinese netizens: Holy crap, hahaha, that's so mean!]

[A netizen from India: You bastard, who are you calling a funeral? Why don't you apply for UNESCO recognition for funerals? You hold funerals every day!]

The anger of the Indians in the live broadcast room could not change the downward trend on the field. After Moran fell to the ground, he was slapped by Kabu, and Lin Mo turned him into a wooden box with a knife and sent him back to the maze.

Lin Mo received a notification sound.

[You have earned 6 match points for defeating a Level 6 Explorer. Your current total score is 6.]

The wooden box can be explored, and if the player obtains game resources, they can take it directly.

The wooden box will only contain supplies obtained from the game map; personal items, including equipment, will not be stored inside.

Therefore, Lin Mo didn't need to think twice; this person was eliminated immediately upon landing, so there was definitely nothing inside.

Still unwilling to give up, I went to test the waters.

It was completely empty; there was nothing inside.

Lin Mo called Kabu, and they continued heading southwest.

The Indian viewers in the live stream finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they all rushed to Lin Mo's live stream, clamoring to see how Lin Mo would die.

Lin Mo spotted a neutral level 6 maze creature within his field of vision, but he ignored it.

In live streams around the world, almost all explorers rushed to fight any maze creatures they encountered, because it meant points. There were even instances of monster-stealing, and the battles were in full swing.

Killing it is easy and earns 6 points, but health consumption is 3 times higher in the maze map. He knows the rules of the game and knows that the real brutal begins after the circle shrinks.

Continuing along a dirt road, both Kabu and Lin Mo remained highly vigilant.

A three-story wooden house appeared by the roadside, with a string of prompts floating above it:

[A three-story building. On the first floor, there's a level 5 maze monster, Tigger. On the second floor, there's a bottle of 'Slug Nutrient Solution - Competition Special', and a level 6 Violent Lizard is fast asleep, ready to drink it when it wakes up. The third floor is empty.]

"Competition Supplies!" This slug nutrient solution can restore health and even control injuries to some extent, making it a relatively important competition supply.

You have to kill the monsters on the first and second floors; they won't just stand by and watch you go in, grab the supplies, and run away.

Kabu understood Lin Mo's thoughts perfectly; he didn't need to give any instructions.

The man and the clam quickly approached the wooden house, determined to finish the job quickly and not waste any time.

"Bang... Robbery!" Lin Mo made a real door-kicking visit.

Kabu squeezed his fat body in, and Tigger rushed up in one stride, but was slapped back halfway by Kabu, half of his body sinking into the wooden floor. Then, Kabu added a swipe, and he was instantly killed!

Level 7 beats Level 5, and with an equipment advantage, it's that easy.

[Congratulations on killing a level 5 competitive mob. You have earned 5 competition points, bringing your total score to 11.]

A rustling sound came from the second floor. A giant thunder lizard, 3 meters long, popped its head out at the bottom of the stairs, baring its teeth at Lin Mo and Kabu downstairs.

This guy has a bad temper and always attacks his enemies, so he's called the Violent Monitor Lizard. But he didn't expect that Kabu's temper wasn't much better.

Kabu charged straight up the stairs, grabbed the giant lizard by the tail, and yanked it down. "Kaji gugu? (You like watching the show, huh?)"

Then he swung his arms wide and slammed them wildly onto the ground, just like Hulk slamming Loki.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

The floorboards on the first floor were cracked layer by layer, and the tongue of the ferocious giant lizard dangled out and swung back and forth, already lifeless.
