Lu Chen's eyes lit up.
He reached out and grasped the Heart-Corroding Blade, and a bone-chilling coldness instantly surged through him.
His poison talent was activated in an instant.
He saw that the originally pitch-black Heart-Corroding Blade gradually emitted a faint green light, like a swirling toxic mist, sending a chill down one's spine.
"It can actually enhance poison talent, what a good blade!"
This was the first time Lu Chen had encountered a weapon that could enhance talent.
The previous granite battle axe and Wave-Breaking Spear were only harder and sharper than ordinary weapons.
Clearly, weapons of Bronze rank and above are just as helpful to Evolutionists as talent itself.
At this moment, the announcement that the Netherworld had been upgraded to an advanced newbie wooden boat spread throughout the entire Newbie Zone 1000 again.
The chat channel immediately erupted in discussions.
"As expected, Lu Chen took the first place reward."
"I'm not even surprised anymore."
"Same here. If Lu Chen hadn't taken first place, I would have been surprised instead."
"Have you all managed to get the talent sea beast corpses that Lu Chen needs?"
"It's hard to get. I finally found a Tier 1 sea beast, but it still didn't have talent."
"I did find one, but it escaped. I'm chasing it now. After I kill this beast, I'll quickly send it to Lu Chen!"
"By the way, didn't Lu Chen also mention needing some survival gamble token? Has anyone dropped this?"
"survival gamble token... Holy crap, I just found one in the belly of a sea beast. Godfather, Godfather, I dropped the survival gamble token you need! @Lu Chen"
"Tang Hong, is that real?"
"Tang Hong, this isn't a small matter, don't just spout nonsense!"
"Exactly, exactly, don't disturb Lu Chen if there's nothing important."
"Of course it's real, how could I lie to my Godfather."
Lu Chen, who was about to land on the island,
noticed someone @ing him in the chat channel.
He clicked in to see,
and unexpectedly, someone had dropped a survival gamble token.
Lu Chen: "@Tang Hong, I want this gamble token. What do you want?"
Tang Hong: "Godfather, I don't want anything. It's enough if you remember me, hehe, my name is Tang Hong."
Lu Chen: "Tang Hong, don't call me Godfather anymore. We're not that close."
Lu Chen looked helpless. He was only in his early 20s, how did he become a father?
Besides,
this Tang Hong, I don't know him at all.
Tang Hong: "How can that be? A true man's word is as good as gold!"
Seeing this, everyone started teasing.
"Hahaha, Lu Chen, this Tang Hong lost a bet with someone, that's why he's calling you Godfather."
"If you ask me, calling him Godfather is already letting Tang Hong off easy, he should call Lu Chen 'biological father'."
"Don't stir up trouble. When Tang Hong really connects with Lu Chen, I'll see if you're jealous or not."
"Huh? Oh yeah..."
"Lu Chen, actually... I also lost a bet with someone. Godfather above, accept a bow from your child!"
"Actually, I am too..."
"And me..."
Tang Hong: "Enough!"
The chat channel instantly turned into a large-scale "family reunion" scene.
Lu Chen looked at his suddenly acquired "godsons",
with a face full of black lines,
and quickly exchanged three bone strengthening grasses for the survival gamble token with Tang Hong, ending this farce.
【survival gamble token (Special Item) - After activation, the district chat channel can be opened, and opponents can be selected for survival gambling】
It's this thing!
Lu Chen activated it without hesitation.
【Announcement: Evolutionist Lu Chen has activated the survival gamble token, Newbie Sea Area 1000 has unlocked the district chat channel】
【Announcement: Each district is composed of 1000 Newbie Sea Areas】
【Announcement: Your current area is - Eighth District】
【Announcement: You can view the status of each Newbie Sea Area within the Eighth District at any time and select opponents for survival gambling. Winning the gamble will earn generous rewards】
Immediately after,
a detailed list slowly unfolded.
It listed detailed information about all the Newbie Sea Areas in the Eighth District:
【United States War Zone 976 Newbie Sea Area, 966/1000 people, survival gamble 3/3 (District chat channel unlocked)】
【Grizzly Bear Country War Zone 923 Newbie Sea Area, 2/1000 people, survival gamble 0/2 (District chat channel unlocked)】
【Fuso War Zone 903 Newbie Sea Area, 836/1000 people, survival gamble 1/2 (District chat channel unlocked)】
【Luzon War Zone 995 Newbie Sea Area, 0/1000 people, survival gamble 0/3 (District chat channel not unlocked)】
【Funan War Zone 974 Newbie Sea Area, 763/1000 people, survival gamble 0/1 (District chat channel not unlocked)】
...
The 1000 Newbie Sea Areas came from various countries on Blue Star.
On the list,
the country, the number of survivors, the number of survival gamble victories, and whether the district chat channel was unlocked, all key information was clear at a glance.
Among them, Newbie Sea Areas that had opened the district chat channel were highlighted,
those not opened were gray,
and sea areas with zero survivors were a shocking pitch black.
Lu Chen noticed that although only three days had passed since they arrived in the Tian Yu World,
many Newbie Sea Areas already had pitch-black names.
This meant that the 1000 people assigned to these sea areas were all dead at this moment!
These pitch-black Newbie Sea Areas had all lost three consecutive survival gambles.
Losing three consecutive times would result in a brutal stripping of 60 attribute points.
For the newly arrived Evolutionists, this was undoubtedly a fatal blow!
The sudden influx of Tian Yu announcements instantly caused the chat channel of Newbie Zone 1000 to boil over:
"Wow, so we're in the Eighth District!"
"Then can we see Shen Xia from other districts? I miss my husband~"
"Uh, this Eighth District, it shouldn't just be us Shen Xia, right?"
"Hearing the person above say that, my heart suddenly sank. The Fusang People who challenged us before, they wouldn't be in the Eighth District too, would they?"
"Then... will there be other people hostile to us?"
"Why think so much? The district chat channel is unlocked, just go see."
"Let's go, let's go, let's go take a look."
"I'm going too."
For a time, a large number of Evolutionists from Newbie Sea Area 1000 surged into the Eighth District chat channel.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the district channel was quite subtle:
"Thank god, another prey has unlocked the district channel. Looks like it's a little friend from Shen Xia. Whose turn is it this time?" (United States War Zone 976 Newbie Sea Area)
"It should be South Goryeo's Zone 942 this time, sigh, I envy them." (Gaul Rooster War Zone 673 Newbie Sea Area)
"Yes, this Newbie Zone 1000 actually won a survival gamble. After defeating them, the gains from the survival gamble will be doubled. Oh, it's really tempting." (The land of sunset War Zone 909 Newbie Sea Area)
