Chapter 6: The Planned Rock-Paper-Scissors Game – Who Can Win?
Chapter 6: The Planned Rock-Paper-Scissors Game – Who Can Win?
Meanwhile, the global joint command center was in an uproar.
"Did you see that? The Sharpback Dragon has transformed into a Stegosaurus!"
"It's more than twice the size, its back is covered in bony plates, and its tail has spikes—how many times has its fighting power increased?"
"Wow, he was this strong at his peak? He could survive to the end no matter how many versions come along!"
"Minimum nerf? They're lucky if they don't get stronger!"
High-ranking officials from various countries were flushed with excitement, and they all prepared to connect with the communication systems of their respective civilization's observation players...
Dragon Kingdom District.
The three senior executives were also taken aback.
The white-bearded scientist's eyes lit up, and he spoke first.
"This is impressive. While it may not be the strongest, it certainly isn't among the worst."
"We're not aiming for first place, just staying in the top five is enough."
The three executives nodded in unison.
Commander Hua did not hesitate any longer and picked up the communicator to contact Lin Xia.
At this moment, every country is on the phone.
The Dragon Kingdom region was indeed the fastest to react.
Commander Hua's instructions were already on their lips.
But Lin Xia didn't move.
On the screen, the boy remained standing with his arms crossed, staring expressionlessly at the majestic sword dragon before him, without even raising a finger.
Sakura was beaten to it by Ichiro Suzuki.
The group from Longguo District were instantly stunned.
Commander Hua's hand, which was holding the communicator, froze in mid-air.
The white-bearded scientist opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
The other two executives were completely stunned.
"Why didn't he choose it?"
Before the words were even finished, the internet in China had already exploded.
【Seriously? You didn't choose this? Even an idiot would know to choose this! I don't even need to call to know!】
[This isn't just a poor student, this is an idiot! They're lowering the IQ of all high school seniors in our country; we don't even want to associate with them!]
Don't mess with Lin Xia's mentality! There's still a chance! You'll all explode if Lin Xia gives up on herself!
[Oh...right. Lin Xia is still the eldest father. Father, I was wrong, please choose carefully.]
And netizens in Japan, of course, wouldn't let this opportunity pass them by.
All the old grievances and new hatreds between the two countries have now turned into merciless mockery.
[Hahaha, is this all there is to China? Why are you afraid to order it? Are you scared out of your wits!]
[It's normal for high school seniors to have shaky hands; they haven't seen much of the world yet.]
[Don't say that, they might be thinking, "Is the Stegosaurus too strong?" LOL.]
Is this all the "big daddy" is capable of in China? You should probably start preparing for natural disasters.
……
Lin Xia could naturally hear those sarcastic remarks.
With the global voice call still on, every sarcastic remark from the Sakura netizens clearly reached my ears.
He just smiled faintly.
What's the use of being strong now? Survival to the end is the only true measure of success.
Only those who laugh last laugh best.
Wait for God to play rock-paper-scissors with you.
In the celestial display, the ten observers had already dispersed and were walking in different directions.
The soil beneath Lin Xia's feet became increasingly soft, and ferns were gradually replaced by large patches of swamp moss.
In addition to the scent of plants, the air also carried a damp, slightly fishy earthy smell.
He encountered many people along the way.
A Pewen pterosaur swept across the sky, its wings flapping like the sound of an old bellows.
In the distance, in a river bend, several early plesiosaur ancestors stretched out their long necks, creating ripples on the water's surface.
A small, primitive mammal darted through the bushes, its furry form disappearing in a flash.
As Lin Xia walked, she sifted through the thoughts in her mind.
After two versions, who will survive?
Jurassic, Cretaceous, and then that meteorite.
Not everyone can win a game of rock-paper-scissors that's been planned...
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Ahead lay a wide expanse of mudflats, their surface dotted with puddles of varying sizes, the sunlight casting a matte gray sheen on the mud.
A group of animals were lying on the edge of the mudflat, near the puddle.
They almost blended into the mud.
Lin Xia squinted and carefully examined it.
Those were creatures less than a meter long, with short, thick limbs, lying flat on the ground, their broad, flat heads half-buried in the mud and water.
Its skin is rough like the dry, cracked bark of an old tree, grayish-brown in color, and covered with uneven nodules and scales.
Their eyes bulged out from the top of their heads, only slightly above the water, like shiny black beads, all staring intently at Lin Xia.
Each short, thick tail dragged on the muddy surface, its tips slightly upturned, like tiny whips.
All original crocodiles.
They were all lying face down in the mud, motionless, with only their eyes showing.
I knew it from their eyes.
He is the right person.
Lin Xia was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
"Holy crap, it's you."
He squatted down and looked into those round, bulging eyes, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
"Grandpa in Leather Shoes!"
Original Crocodile: Wait, why do I feel like your eyes are a little strange? Staring at my skin, are you being polite?
……
Global Joint Command Center.
The three executives stared at Lin Xia, who was squatting by the muddy beach, on the screen, and were all dumbfounded.
"What...is he laughing at?"
"He encountered so many awesome dinosaurs along the way, but didn't even lift an eyelid. Then, when he saw a bunch of toad-like things crawling in the mud, he laughed?"
The white-bearded scientist stared at the group of grayish-brown crocodiles in front of Lin Xia, almost blending into the mud, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.
"He wouldn't... choose this, would he?"
He swallowed hard.
"He's neither good-looking nor fit, and he's kind of dull-witted..."
He didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was already quite clear.
The two people beside him remained silent for a moment, their expressions gradually darkening.
Meanwhile, the country of Dragon Kingdom was in complete chaos.
【Don't tell me to choose this! Please don't!】
Lin Xia, don't stop! Leave resolutely, just like before! You could walk away from other creatures, you can walk away this time too!
[I don't think any normal person would choose this... This thing looks so stupid, like an innocent college student.]
[Hey, hey, hey, no generalizations! What did we college students do to you?!]
Stop arguing! He's squatting down now! And he's still laughing! Oh no, oh no, oh no…
Countless Chinese people, separated by the golden list screen, wished they could rush in and drag Lin Xia away.
People from other countries also saw Lin Xia's appearance, and they all laughed so hard they couldn't catch their breath.
To be honest, this toad-like thing seems to have about the same intelligence as Lin Xia.
[This must be their destined mythical beast, hahaha! A perfect match!]
[The last place is already locked in, unless he doesn't choose it, but looking at his silly grin, do you think he might not choose it?]
[This is the difference between a student and our American leader, hahaha!]
[This is a bad loss; they probably won't even survive two stages before being eliminated... I don't understand what Lin Xia is laughing about.]
The mockery poured down from all directions via global voice calls.
Chinese netizens were furious but couldn't find a rebuttal.
Because Lin Xia in the picture is indeed still smiling...
