It went without saying who this player from a certain country was. It seems that people had been unhappy with Shen Fei's monopoly for a long time. Now that they saw the other contestants arriving at oases one after another, they couldn't wait to make a big fuss and announce it to the whole world.
Egypt said, "Reality has proven that the truly talented will eventually show their talent. Our descendant of Pharaoh arrived at the oasis first and broke someone's monopoly. I feel that other countries should thank us. Of course, our great descendant of Pharaoh will never do something like demanding unreasonably high prices."
Seeing the comments in the live stream, those who didn't know better would think that their player had done something to punish evil and advocate good. The words emanated a sense of superiority.
Of course, the Arabs were not to be outdone either.
"There's nothing extraordinary about taking the lead. The real victor is the one who has the last laugh. I really like an idiomatic set phrase in Chinese, 'surpassed by the latecomer'. Today, I'll present it to everyone here."
"The game has just begun now. I advise the players of certain countries not to be too arrogant. Triumph for a time counts for nothing. True power lies in long-term victory."
Such comments and discourse were endless. Even a casual click on the Internet could lead to discussion threads and topics with pessimistic predictions regarding Shen Fei, acting as if it were the truth.
They all felt that now that a portion of the players had arrived at the oases to declare their sovereignty, Shen Fei's monopoly over water resources was broken. There were unfavorable words for him everywhere.
Those with outstanding performance are bound to attract jealousy and criticism. It seemed that Shen Fei's outstanding performance caused many people to be envious, along with the fact that Country Hua was rising to power swiftly.
Since they couldn't impact Shen Fei in the game, then they would create impacts in reality. Furthermore, there were many political and national factors involved in this. Who would believe that there's no one driving this behind the curtain?
When Country Hua's netizens saw so many people slandering Shen Fei and making pessimistic predictions regarding him, they couldn't sit still.
"No way, no way. Do they really think that everything will be fine once the player of their own country arrived at an oasis? Didn't you see what Shen Fei obtained? The Tree of Life, Essence of Life and fine iron ore veins!"
"They wouldn't be spouting nonsense like this if they had any sense."
"He has renewable resources as well as mineral veins that can be used to make weapons. How can you compete with Shen Fei? Do you really think that just reaching the oasis is good enough to get you to the top of the world and make you completely invincible?"
"I'm dying of laughter. All of you don't know anything about Shen Fei's strength, okay? The resources that Shen Fei currently has are far more than you can imagine. A mere oasis is nothing."
"Some countries just can't stand seeing others doing well. If they have the time to buy fake reviewers here to slander others, they should use it to think carefully about how to develop their own country's economy instead."
The netizens were arguing non-stop, but there were still some politically sensitive people who sensed conspiracy.
Some countries were weak, but had extremely lucky players who had arrived at oases and claimed sovereignty. At the same time, resources arrived within their borders, and many other powerful countries came after hearing the news.
At the same time, for players with powerful gadgets, there were many countries that sought cooperation with the player's country. This was because their powerful gadgets would definitely bring about many resources subsequently in the game, and these resources would be projected into the real world.
The game affected reality and would bring immeasurable changes to the world. What was the most important now was resources!
For resources, even allies that were strong once could turn against each other, and former enemies could even work together.
"I heard that once, resources descended into the real world right at the border of two countries. In order to compete for the resource, the two countries almost went to war."
A country that had once been at odds with Country Hua was now speaking up for Country Hua in an international conference. Its change made many people curious.
The power of money and capital was pushing for the distribution of resources. There were also many other powers mixed in. It could be said that this situation was getting more and more complicated. Countless fights over potential benefits had begun.
"I heard that Iraqi and Salem have formed an alliance. They used to be enemies countries that fought to the death when encountering each other and only wanted to send cannon shots at each other. If they can actually form an alliance, what else is impossible in this world?"
"Previous commenter, don't you understand? Resources are more important than anything now. Whoever has an advantage in the game will obtain more resources. This means that the country will be able to lead the production and development of the country in the future. Who cares if they are enemies or not now? People would sell their allegiance to the highest bidder."
"Of course. Last month, I even saw two countries almost going to war. Even the entire country underwent emergency war preparation. Goodness knows how, but today they have issued a joint declaration of alliance."
"Indeed, if you live long enough, nothing is impossible."
"Now, most of the players get things like oases, water resources and such. Just these few categories have brought huge changes to their countries. If this continues, who knows what will happen in the future."
"Unfortunately, we can't bring the news of the real world into the desert. If these players knew about the changes they brought to their countries, they would probably work harder."
"Compete hard, everyone. In order to build a better home, you have to search for resources at all costs."
Be it the comments on the live stream, the discussions on the news, or the topics on a certain microblogging platform, they all revolved around these related topics. Everyone had a faint premonition that a huge change was about to happen in the world.
The influence of the players in the game was beginning to show. It was a pity that they had not realized it yet.
