Chapter 37 The Final Kick
As the discussion intensifies, the progress continues!
Numerous comments erupted, including some sour and sarcastic remarks.
The one who was most active on the front line between Yin and Yang was, as expected, "It's almost time for dinner again," who had some friction with Yu Wang.
It's almost time for dinner again: "Tch, just another stroke of luck. He picked up some junk from who-knows-where, mixed it all together, and is trying to fool people! He only wants to exchange blueprints and rare items? He's clearly trying to monopolize high-level resources! Disgusting! @You think you're getting lucky, you shameless scoundrel! You weren't satisfied with ripping off my ship cover, now you want to rip off everyone else? Give me back my ship cover right now!"
Don't try to hit a cockroach with your mouth: "@It's almost time for dinner again, shut up! The transaction record is crystal clear, you were the one who begged to exchange it, and now you're trying to back out and causing trouble? Just ignore him, big shot."
It's almost time for dinner again: "That's because I didn't know the value of the boat cover! If I had known, I would never have exchanged it!"
……
The world is going to the dogs: "@You're going to hit the jackpot, comrade! Now is the critical moment for all survivors to unite and overcome difficulties together! This morning I encountered a survivor who was assigned to the 11234 zone, and she still doesn't have a fire! I had to give her a fire seed."
You possess food processing technology that enhances attributes, so you should stand up like me and contribute to the collective!
I suggest you release the recipe for the paste to help raise the average level of our entire division and prepare for tomorrow's even tougher 5-nautical-mile challenge! That's what a true gaming pro should do!
If Yu Wang were still awake, upon seeing this sentence, he would surely sigh at the decline of morality while still possessing some real insight.
He's right, survivors in different zones are in competition.
Despite the vastness of the ocean, as many as 65 billion humans have entered the game (assuming 100 billion, excluding the elderly over 65 and children under 14).
With a scale of 10 people per partition, it can be divided into 65000 partitions!
Humans can only access resources near the ancient sea routes.
Even in the vastest ocean, if hundreds of millions of people plunder it all, those left behind might not even have sardines left.
The survivors who were ahead of the pack plundered all the underwater resources, eating and using whatever they could, and focused on developing their strength.
They would sell any leftovers in their own designated area, making them unavailable to outsiders.
Over time, some partitions became stronger and stronger, while others became weaker and weaker, and were eventually split up and merged.
At the end of the previous game, those who came later and were merged into other divisions were not accepted.
Most of them became slaves, locked in the ship's cabins, and spent day and night salvaging supplies.
When necessary, they can become cannon fodder in the fight against monsters, or guinea pigs for testing new potions.
……
Let the world be filled with love: "Waaah, the world is going to the dogs. Big brother is right... Big brother Dayun, I know you are very powerful, but could you... could you share a little bit with those who are starving to death and have no materials to exchange?"
Since it's only effective the first time you eat it, there's no point in keeping so much. Even a bite for each person would be helpful... Every time I see someone in the channel crying out for food or asking for help, my heart aches... We can pray for you and wish you peace and good health!
Tired of destruction: "@The world is going downhill @Let the world be filled with love again! Are you two always linked? One's morally manipulating, the other's a saintly lament! Recipe revealed? Provided at cost price? Will you even provide the materials? What good are prayers? Can they feed you or boost your stats?!"
The runaway princess: "@Tired of destruction. I guessed your gender in just 0.01 seconds. You're such a busybody! Why are you always targeting others? And your mouth is so foul! Wouldn't it be better to work for the benefit of everyone?"
Tired? Let's destroy this: "Am I stinky? It's not even dirty! If you wanted to be insulted, just say so!"
Tired? Let's destroy it: (Birdsong and fragrant flowers)
……
……
The world is going to hell: "Do you have a daily quota of insults you have to perform? Are you using us as KPIs?"
……
Exhausted from the passionate output, let's destroy it! A rare moment of stunned silence.
Did they actually guess it?!
However, this did not stop him from continuing to "fight"!
Without the slightest pause, they continued their rampage in the chat area, seemingly exhausted.
He seems to possess the skill of unrestricted speech when hurling insults, and coupled with his unselectable position on the moral high ground, he subtly gains the upper hand!
This made the exhausted destroyer's mouth almost crooked.
……
Perhaps the temptation of this "special energy paste" was too great, and Yu Wang released such a large quantity at once.
Under extreme psychological imbalance,
This statement, made "from the perspective of the overall interests," immediately attracted some echoes, reflecting the declining moral standards of the world.
"It's true that the world is going to the dogs; everyone should help each other! Why should he take so many benefits? They should be shared equally!"
"He's selling it at such a high price; he's just hoarding and profiting from disaster! We must boycott him!"
"Let's unite and force him to lower the price! Otherwise, expose him and make sure no one does business with him!"
The world is going to the dogs: "Thank you all for your support. I've used up my speaking time for today, so I'll say one last thing."
Think about it: since we have hundreds of zones deployed in the same sea area, then the different zones will inevitably become competitors for resources, or even enemies!
If our 444 division is strong overall, we will have a higher chance of survival in any future divisional battles!
Therefore, skilled players have a responsibility to give back to everyone and improve overall strength, which is for the long-term benefit of everyone!
Some IDs, whether genuinely feeling it was unfair or simply out of envy, began to echo this sentiment, stirring up trouble in the channel.
They are trying to create public pressure to force Wang to give in and distribute the energy paste for free or sell it off cheaply.
However, this robber's logic has also aroused the disgust of many rational people.
"Hilarious! The big shot found it himself, he can sell it however he wants, what's it to you? If you're jealous, go find it yourself, what kind of skill is it to yell here?"
"Joint pressure? Do you think this is child's play? You'd be better off grabbing a couple more pieces of wood!"
"There's a reason why big shots charge high prices. If you don't think it's worth it, then don't buy it. Why make a fuss as if you're so great?"
……
The channel was instantly filled with chaos.
Arguments, insults, lecturing, incitement, calm analysis, sarcasm... all sorts of voices mingled together, temporarily suppressing the lingering panic from last night.
However, Yu Wang, who was at the center of this storm, was completely unaware of all the commotion.
Even if they knew, they probably wouldn't be interested in their arguments at all.

Time flew by, and it was 6 a.m. the next morning.
Yu Wang, who had only slept for less than five hours, was woken up by the loud alarm clock.
His brain felt like it was filled with lead, with lingering dull pain. He rubbed his throbbing temples, struggled to sit up, and felt even more exhausted than before he went to bed.
Yu Wang opened his own panel.
Captain: Yu Wang
[Title: Eye-Catching Bag I (Wearing, Upgrade Progress 94.6%)]
Qi and Blood: 86% (Minor injury, not a big problem)
Strength: 4.76+1
Physical fitness: 6.05+1
Speed: 5.8+1
Mental state: 71/100 (The emotional trauma after the ups and downs, go get some sleep, but you'll find it's all for nothing when you wake up)
Rationality: 67/100 (Out of danger zone, I guess)
Physical strength: 55% (Feeling a bit weak. I have a bed where I can lie down, so why am I so tired? Is it mental exhaustion?)
Talent: If you can't beat them, join them.
[Equipment: Eel Skin Wristbands (Green), Crab Claw Harpoon (Blue), Fish Skin Swimsuit (Green), Giant Claw Lobster Armor (White)]
[Summoned Items: Duck A (Regular Duck), Duck B (Shielded Duck)]
……
His mental and rational recovery was minimal, which was expected. The fact that he didn't go completely insane after last night's ordeal was a testament to his strong will and the protective force field he received as a novice.
However, when his gaze swept over the title bar, the drowsiness and grogginess he felt after just waking up were instantly swept away!
"94.6%?!"
Yu Wang's heart skipped a beat, and he could hardly believe his eyes.
He immediately opened the system notification logs that had accumulated from the previous night and quickly scrolled through them.
Sure enough! The records show that in less than five minutes after he listed the [Puss Containing Special Energy] on the trading market, the title upgrade progress started to rise, and in the blink of an eye, it broke 90%!
Then it surged even higher: 91%...92.5%...93.8%...
The higher it goes, the longer the message interval becomes, eventually stopping at 94.6% and remaining unchanged.
For a moment, Yu Wang's feelings were complicated and hard to describe; he didn't know whether to feel fortunate or disappointed.
Fortunately, the attention and controversy that arose last night had a far greater effect than expected, pushing the progress to a critical point, and it's just one step away from being upgraded!
Disappointingly... we were just one step away from victory!
"Sigh..." Yu Wang sighed in disappointment, his brows furrowing slightly.
"The number of people in the 444 section is still too small. Although the attention it has attracted this time is much stronger than the previous seafood noodle post, the base number limits the upper limit, and the total amount of emotional fluctuation is still lacking."
He quickly analyzed the situation in his mind.
The title upgrade requires a strong emotional response from him across a wide range of people.
Even if everyone pays attention to and talks about a 444-participant community, the total amount of emotion generated is probably limited.
"If I could get another server-wide announcement, drawing the attention of all survivors worldwide back to me, I could definitely max out the progress bar in one go!"
Regarding the server-wide announcement...
Yu Wang's thoughts suddenly drifted in another direction. "If I remember correctly, in my previous life, the first survivor to successfully clear a dungeon also triggered a server-wide announcement?"
