Chapter 12 He dug a hole, and it actually fed and clothed 4 million people!
Golden light shone through the patterns on the box, forcefully cutting through the surrounding gray-white fog.
Su Chen knelt on one knee by the pit, gripped the edge of the box lid with both hands, and lifted it up.
[Tier A supply crate has been opened.]
[Received: Grade A Gene Enhancement Potion x1, Advanced Medical Kit x1, Portable Water Purifier x1, Portable Wilderness Survival Kit x1.]
He laid the items out on the ground one by one.
The gene-enhancing agent is a syringe twice as thick as serum, filled with a dark green liquid that glows faintly in the thick fog.
Su Chen flipped it over and looked at it; there were no side effects instructions or dosage information.
Just one line: Grade A.
He put the syringe back in the truck bed, not in a hurry to use it.
He would never inject anything unknown into his body before understanding its effects.
In Da Xia's live stream room, the chat was already ablaze with activity.
[A-grade!! A-grade supply crate!!! Su Shen, what are you doing!!!]
[He knew from the beginning that there was something underground!! The way he dug the hole!! He came prepared!!]
I was just worried he'd have a mental breakdown... Now I want to slap myself twice.
[Japanese expert says "meaningless digging"... Dude, they're digging for an A-grade chest. What are you digging for?]
In the official studio.
Zhao Mingyuan tore off a strand of his own hair.
He didn't even realize it; his hand was still on his forehead.
Lin Xiaotang brought the water glass to her lips, but the glass tilted and the warm water spilled all over the table, yet she didn't react at all.
The two of them stood in silence for a full three seconds in front of the big screen.
Lin Xiaotang was the first to come to her senses and hastily wiped the table with a tissue.
"Professor Zhao."
"Grade A." Zhao Mingyuan uttered only two words, flicking a strand of hair aside, "Grade A supply crates were dug out from an S-level disaster zone."
He leaned back in his chair, staring at Su Chen's actions of counting supplies on the screen, his voice very low.
"Around midnight, in the dense fog with zero visibility, he precisely dug down to a depth of 1.8 meters and retrieved a Class A box."
He turned to look at the camera.
"It's two whole levels higher than a Class D track. What Su Chen has now is in a completely different league from the broken tricycle he had at the beginning."
Lin Xiaotang put down her water glass and straightened her posture.
"But what the audience might be more curious about is—how did he know there were Grade A cases there?"
Zhao Mingyuan didn't respond to that, but simply turned back to the screen and clasped his hands together.
He wanted to know too.
In the US studio, James Hall had already stood up.
He kicked the chair away, making a screeching sound as it scraped across the floor.
"Cheating!"
He pointed at the screen, his voice so loud it echoed in the studio.
"This is absolutely cheating! Have you ever seen anyone dig up an A-grade chest just by digging a couple of times?!"
The deputy host shrank back, not daring to speak.
James spun around in front of the broadcasting station, smashing a beer can on the table and spilling some more liquid.
"I want to file a complaint! I want to apply for arbitration! The Great Xia Kingdom is cheating!"
A barrage of English translations flooded the chat, and after reading the content, everyone was in an uproar.
[Hahaha, LeBron James is jumping up and down in the studio!!!]
[Cheating? Su Shen dug the ground with a shovel, and you call that cheating?]
[Last time he said Su Shen was mentally unstable, this time he said Su Shen cheated, what will he say next? That Su Shen bribed the S-level disaster zone?]
[Where are those 10,000 bottles of purified water from the US? Come out and check them out, our Grade A water has arrived.]
[James: I don't understand, so it must be cheating. Perfect logic.]
Sakura Country Livestream Room.
Masaki Fujino took off his gold-rimmed glasses, wiped the lenses, put them back on, and glanced at the screen again.
The golden light from the Class A supply crate had dissipated, and the crater was still exposed on the ground. Su Chen loaded the items into the truck bed with swift movements.
Masaki Fujino remained silent for a while before speaking.
"Let me revise my previous judgment."
His partner glanced at him furtively but didn't dare to say anything.
"Su Chen did not suffer a mental breakdown." He paused. "His digging depth, the spacing between his shovel strikes, and the precision with which he retrieved the supply crates... all of this was supported by rigorous information."
He adjusted his glasses and lowered his voice.
"I cannot explain his source of information at this time."
After these words were spoken, the live stream room in Japan fell silent for nearly ten seconds.
On the screen, Su Chen had already climbed onto the tricycle, and the tricycle's metal tracks rolled onto the hard ground again.
Just then, a new announcement panel popped up and floated directly in the center of Su Chen's field of vision.
[System Notification: Congratulations to player Su Chen for opening an A-grade supply crate for the first time! This triggers the materialized reward mechanism!]
Su Chen paused for a moment while pedaling the bicycle.
Realize the reward.
He went through those three words in his mind, but he wasn't quite sure what they meant.
The answer came the next second.
[The rewards have been displayed across the entire territory of the player's country—the Great Xia Kingdom.]
[Content includes: 50 million servings of food, 100 million servings of drinking water, 200,000 Class A medical supply packages, and 100,000 batches of Class B building repair materials.]
[Supplies have been randomly distributed to core areas of various provinces and cities in the Great Xia Kingdom, and the deployment is now complete.]
It was dawn throughout the entire Great Xia territory.
But no one was sleeping.
Fourteen billion people were watching the live stream, staring at the thin figure digging a hole in the S-class swamp. The barrage of comments almost burst the live stream's servers.
Then, news of the supplies landing was announced.
The prize is not awarded to the contestant himself.
It crashed directly onto the land of the Great Xia Kingdom.
Fifty million portions of grain.
One hundred million portions of clean water.
Two hundred thousand Grade A medical kits.
At two o'clock in the morning, golden specks of light fell from the sky in a square in a western province.
There was no sound when they landed; instead, boxes of supplies were neatly piled up, covering the entire street.
The elderly man who was watching the live stream was the first to react. He ran outside with trembling hands, barefoot on the paving stones, and grabbed his wife's hand.
"Come out and see! Come out and see! That doll brought us something!"
Da Xia's live stream room completely exploded.
It's not the kind of loud, exciting frying; it's the kind of frying that shakes your insides.
I'm crying, I'm really crying, I never expected this...
[Su Shen! Su Shen! You're all in there! Keep it for yourself! Why should we have it?!]
I just received a notification from the community saying there are supplies at the nearby square, and everyone can go and collect them... That's all thanks to Su Chen...
[He, a child who grew up in an orphanage, has provided food and drink for 1.4 billion people...]
I went in place of my mother. She has a bad leg and can't walk, so she asked me to get one for her. I cried while I was getting it. The staff asked me what was wrong, and I said thank you, Su Chen.
The barrage of comments was so dense that the words were illegible, leaving only a blurry expanse of light.
