It did not take long for netizens to figure out why the Azure Dragon Lizard had refused to attack Qin Chuan.
“I am an animal researcher, and I have a rather bold theory.”
“Professor, please enlighten us.”
“Have you noticed the expression in the eyes of this monster called the Azure Dragon Lizard? Doesn’t it look like the expression of a mother? And considering the place where Qin Chuan was lying earlier, well…”
“Oh, no way! This monster thinks Qin Chuan is its own child!”ヽ(ー_ー)ノ
“Damn, what incredible luck… That’s amazing!”
“But Qin Chuan doesn’t look anything like a lizard! How could that possibly work?”
“Have you ever heard the story of the ugly duckling?”
“That’s for the lizard to decide. I’m only offering an analysis.”
Although the explanation was somewhat far-fetched, it was the only conclusion they could reach.
Moreover, judging from the circumstances, the possibility was actually quite high.
All in all, Qin Chuan had once again “luckily” escaped disaster.
For the people of Yanhuang, this was good news.
For foreign netizens, however, it was much harder to accept.
They had all prepared themselves to make sarcastic remarks, only for Qin Chuan to surprise them yet again.
They were absolutely livid. (ノДＴ)
Regardless of what anyone else thought, Qin Chuan himself was still feeling rather depressed.
[Forbidden Land Announcement: Yanhuang’s lucky participant, Qin Chuan, has discovered a three-star forest resource. This resource will appear within Yanhuang’s territory with a fiftyfold reward.]
[The Forbidden Land will award Qin Chuan one three-star lottery draw. This reward cannot be revealed to outsiders.]
The entire world was stunned once again! (꒪Д꒪)ノ
They erupted! ᓫ(°⌑°)ǃ
They were speechless! (￣∠￣)ﾉ
Everyone expressed their feelings in their own way.
“Damn! Is this guy using cheats? How has he managed to receive two resource rewards in such a short time?” (￣(エ)￣)ゞ
“I heard he’s still a child. Apparently, he’s only four years old.” (｀_´)ゞ
“Hurry up and see what this brat can do. He’s actually managed to obtain resource rewards twice!”

“Why is this person so powerful? Could he possess some kind of special ability?”
“If this continues, when will our great beautiful nation ever be able to completely suppress Yanhuang?”
“That’s a three-star reward! I’m so envious.”
“Our warriors from the Eastern Isles will certainly obtain even greater resources. Just wait and see.”
“Warriors of India, you absolutely cannot fall behind Yanhuang. That neighbor of ours is terrifying.”
“This Qin Chuan has Korean blood. We request that Yanhuang return him to us.”
……
“Our Qin Chuan is truly amazing! He has once again won a resource reward for our country. We don’t yet know how vast this resource is, but we all understand that as the world’s forest coverage continues to shrink, the global environment has reached an extremely dangerous point.”
“Forest resources are not merely resources. They can also help alleviate global warming, making this an enormously meaningful achievement. Qin Chuan truly makes us proud to be Yanhuang citizens.”
Bingbing sincerely praised Qin Chuan and was deeply satisfied with what he had accomplished.
The Yanhuang National Security Bureau immediately carried out a survey within the country. Before long, they discovered that a previously barren region had suddenly become covered in dense forest, completely transforming the local climate and ecosystem.
When Yang Zhengyi saw the area, he sighed with admiration.
“This little fellow has done a fine job.”
“Director, should we release the news?”
“There is no need to conceal something like this. The people must know, so that they can have sufficient confidence in our lucky participant. Release it at once. And notify Bingbing immediately—she’ll know what to say.”
Yang Zhengyi began making the announcement without delay.
“Yes, sir.”
Before long, the central state broadcaster released a series of photographs showing Yanhuang’s latest development.
The first set showed the region before the forest appeared: barren, desolate, and under a harsh-looking climate.
The second set showed the same region as it was now, covered in forest. The trees grew thickly, birds sang, and flowers bloomed. The climate and surroundings looked like the complete opposite of what they had been before.
The authorities also announced the total area covered by the forest.
A full ten million square meters—that is, one thousand hectares!
These timber resources would be enough for Yanhuang to make proper use of them and turn them into immeasurable wealth.
Bingbing received the National Security Bureau’s message at once and excitedly announced in the studio:
“I have wonderful news for everyone. Our country has identified the exact location and area of the forest resource.”
“It covers a full ten million square meters, or one thousand hectares!”
“Everyone knows that forest resources are extremely difficult to regenerate in a short period of time. Moreover, as our needs continue to grow, every aspect of daily life depends on timber resources.”
“At this crucial moment, Qin Chuan has presented our country with an enormous gift. We should be grateful to him. Although he is only four years old, his contribution to the nation is simply immense.”

The moment she finished speaking, the livestream erupted:
“Qin Chuan is incredible! The three-star resource reward really is extraordinary. This is a thousand hectares!”
“Our environment will become even more beautiful because of this thousand hectares of forest.”
“I hope the country makes good use of these resources. They must not be cut down recklessly; they need to be allocated rationally and used efficiently.”
“Qin Chuan is only a four-year-old child, yet he has accomplished something none of us could. It’s truly embarrassing. All I can do is offer you my blessings.”
“The central broadcaster has already published the photographs and videos officially. The comparison between them is absolutely breathtaking. It’s practically as if a desert had been transformed into an oasis in an instant.”
“I can already imagine how the other countries must feel when they see this.”
“I’m so proud that I have to say it out loud.”
……
The photographs and videos released by the central broadcaster were also watched by countless people overseas.
Their reactions were completely different from those of the people of Yanhuang.
They all wondered why these forest resources had not appeared in their own countries.
Forest resources were already extremely scarce throughout the world. On top of that, forest fires occurred every year, particularly the massive fires that had struck Australia several years earlier. The country’s incompetence had led to a series of environmental disasters across the globe.
Forest resources were not merely a form of wealth. They were also a remedy capable of cooling the planet, playing an irreplaceable role in protecting the environment.
“It would have been wonderful if those resources had appeared in our country.”
“Yanhuang is already so powerful, and now it has gained even more resources. Overtaking them is becoming more and more difficult.”
“When will our country’s lucky participant finally accomplish something for the nation?”
“Well done, Yanhuang. Our Ironclad Nation will always be your friend.”
“Damn it. If Yanhuang has to rely on one little brat, then this is the best they can do.”
“Why do I feel that the lucky participants competing for national destiny aren’t even as capable as a child?”
“It’s only a matter of time. They haven’t become familiar with the environment yet. Once they do, they’ll definitely surpass that little brat.”
“I hope so.”
