Against the sunlight, the slowly descending object couldn’t be seen very clearly, but this didn’t stop it from bringing shock to the Xia Wang tribe. People stopped dancing, looked up at the sky, and witnessed the peculiar thing that looked very heavy but landed like a feather not far from them.
Suddenly, the high priest moved. He quickly walked to the front, knelt down towards the object, and while kowtowing, shouted, “A miracle has descended! A miracle has descended!”
The other Xia Wang people looked at each other and remembered the divination results from the recent sacrifice. They became excited and followed the high priest’s actions, kneeling and kowtowing towards the peculiar object, while continuously chanting words like ‘god,’ ‘deity,’ and ‘miracle.’
Amidst the Xia Wang people’s excited anticipation, the peculiar object finally began to open slowly. All the tribespeople stopped their actions and looked at it with expectation and reverence.
Under their watchful eyes, a living creature emerged. If there were no surprises, it should be the deity foretold to descend in their sacrificial prophecy.
Their deity was only about the size of a fist, covered in fur, with big, watery eyes curiously observing them.
The Xia Wang people were shocked. The person closest to the high priest couldn’t help but whisper, “High priest, is that our deity? Why does it look like a… mouse?”
Perhaps because of their whispers, everyone clearly saw the furry deity twitch its small ears, seemingly capturing the surrounding sounds.
In an instant, everyone swallowed their doubts. Even if it was a mouse, it must be an extraordinary mouse, a divine mouse!
The high priest was also quite perplexed. But he never doubted his faith, so he firmly believed that the descending being was indeed a deity. “This must be a test from the deity. Do not judge the deity by its appearance.”
The high priest’s calm voice dispelled the last doubts of the Xia Wang people. Under the high priest’s lead, everyone once again kowtowed to the small, furry deity not far away, chanting “Great deity” with their mouths.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Shu Bao stepped out of the cabin, he was greeted with such a warm welcome that he quietly retracted his paw, feeling a bit embarrassed as he stood there. The mouse had never imagined seeing pure trust and reverence in the eyes of a group of strangers.
Such solemn and pure gazes made the mouse straighten up, trying to suck in his furry little belly and stand tall to appear more dignified.
After a good ten minutes, the Xia Wang people stopped their kowtowing. The high priest stood up and slowly approached Shu Bao, then knelt on one knee to perform the highest ritual of the Xia Wang tribe, intending to kiss the deity’s toes. But when he lowered his head, he saw the deity looking up at him with a furry little head, eyes filled with a hint of confusion.
“Honorable deity, please allow me to kiss your toes as a sign of my respect,” the high priest humbly explained his intention. However, when he lowered his head to find the deity’s toes, he couldn’t locate them because they were blocked by a round, chubby belly.
The high priest: “…” This must be another test from the deity.
Hearing this, Shu Bao retracted his paw, feeling a bit embarrassed. However, he decided to respect the customs of the natives. When he looked down, he saw his furry little belly. As for his feet…
But how could this stump the clever and wise treasure-seeking mouse? Shu Bao lifted his foot, instantly performing a perfect split, raising one small foot to his head.
The high priest: “…” Well, now I can see the foot. But I’ve never kissed a foot in this position before. Our deity is truly considerate.
Some Xia Wang people who witnessed the development exclaimed: “!!!” This must be our deity! Otherwise, how could an ordinary mouse do a split!
The high priest successfully performed the foot-kissing ritual, which meant the deity officially joined the Xia Wang tribe. The Xia Wang people stood up and cheered, then enthusiastically came forward one by one to complete the foot-kissing ritual.
Shu Bao: “…” Although the mouse had practiced, holding up his leg for so long still made it a bit numb. Fortunately, there weren’t many people in the Xia Wang tribe, so it only took about ten minutes for the fifty or so people to finish.
Letting go of his somewhat numb paws, Shu Bao tried to stand upright and then grinned politely, “Hello, everyone, my name is Shu Bao.”
Faced with such an approachable deity, the Xia Wang people were naturally overjoyed and immediately invited the deity to continue participating in the sacrifice, placing the most delicious food in the tribe in front of him.
Shu Bao sat on a fur blanket. The pile of food in front of him grew larger and larger, soon obscuring the view of the furry ball. To reciprocate the Xia Wang people’s enthusiasm, Shu Bao wanted to take some food from his storage space to give back, but to his surprise, his storage space was blocked! Or rather, it could only take in but not release items!
At the same time, his bracelet sounded a prompt, “The live broadcast system has been activated and is currently in non-public mode. Due to competition rules, participants cannot use any other space-folding tools they brought with them. Please use the resources of the galaxy itself for development…”
This was followed by a long explanation, including various restrictions and the basic process of the competition. Shu Bao found that the people around him showed no reaction, clearly unable to hear the survival live broadcast system’s voice. This was probably the so-called non-public mode. The bracelet had activated after his successful landing, detecting that the surrounding environment met the conditions for the survival competition.
While Shu Bao was enjoying the enthusiastic hospitality of the natives, things were not going well for Fu Qing. Since his escape pod was close to Shu Bao’s, he also crash-landed on this planet. But his landing site was in a tropical area filled with towering trees, giant insects, and beasts. The most annoying thing was the primitive tribes in the tropical rainforest.
Having a tribe in the landing area was originally a good thing because it meant access to valuable human resources. However, the problem was that the nearby tribes were all cannibals!
In the perilous rainforest, all food was precious, including unfamiliar humans. So, unlike Shu Bao’s situation, Fu Qing had already repelled three waves of attacks from the cannibals since his crash landing.
As the first live broadcast room to open, his audience numbers were considerable. The audience could only spam ‘666’ in admiration for Fu Qing’s swift and decisive defense.
As for Shu Bao’s live broadcast room, it quickly gained viewers after opening. The reason was simple: the audience had long heard about Shu Bao, the mouse who had offended both the luck and strength factions. Everyone wanted to see how long this guy could survive.
The expected immediate demise did not occur. Instead, viewers saw a contestant being treated as a deity by the natives. Watching the mountain of food piling up in front of the furry ball, the audience began spamming question marks.
“I’ve watched several live streams, and this is definitely the most comfortable landing!”
“As for the landing, I believe in good luck.”
“Can it really be like this? To receive such a warm welcome right after landing, and the language system is so similar! No need for a translator at all.”
Obviously, after observing the landing situations of many contestants, Shu Bao’s unique landing start made the audience sigh with amazement.
“Our Xing Meng directly landed on a planet with an industrial civilization! Winning right from the start!”
However, such sentiments clearly made the luck faction very dissatisfied, and some people began to explain Xing Meng’s landing situation. In short, no one can surpass Xing Meng in the name of luck. After all, Xing Meng is the pinnacle of the luck faction.
Shu Bao was unaware of the situation in the live stream. To prevent cheating through bullet comments, contestants cannot see the comments. However, Shu Bao was indeed facing a slightly awkward problem now, which was that his leg was cramping a bit, and his little paw was uncontrollably trembling and curling up from time to time. Occasionally, someone enthusiastically handed him a fruit, which happened to touch the hair on his leg, making Shu Bao feel extremely uncomfortable.
