While the netizens were coming up with all sorts of ideas, the various countries were not idle either and had already started to make decisions. They had gathered almost all the think tanks in the country to come up with the most suitable strategy.
By now, anyone discerning could see that the game was closely connected to the real world. The opening of the second stage was a huge opportunity for some people.
If used properly, it might even change the entire situation of the game and the future. Every country was eager to accomplish something big.
Previously, they could only see it through the video, but now they could also participate. They had to be more cautious, because things brought into the game from the real world must be the most effective and maximize benefits to drive the players' development.
This way, they would be able to obtain more resources in the game, which would then feedback to the real world. Therefore, every country had their own considerations. They formulated countless plans, then abolished and redid them. It could be said that they were extremely cautious.
No one dared to make light of the future of their own country. At the same time, they tried to find out the choices of other countries by every possible means in order to come up with better responses.
Egypt chose archaeologists. After all, this survival game was centered around the desert, and the map section was related to these. This meant that the civilizations inside were the same. They could study the ruins in the future, and there might be important gains.
Country Y had always regarded themselves as gentlemen. They paid attention to humanitarian principles and knew that it was not easy for players to survive in the desert. In a prolonged state of stress, they were likely to develop all sorts of psychological problems.
As a result, their choices leaned towards psychological comfort to cheer the players on and ensure their mental wellbeing.
Country M believed that strength was the only basis for everything. Only the strong were entitled to opinions. At the same time, they were ambitious and wanted to conquer other oases, so that they could conquer the entire desert and plunder all the resources for their country.
They wanted to satisfy their wish to unify the world. Hence, they made choices that would provide force, and wanted to adopt violent methods.
Country Gang was not very powerful, and it would be difficult for them to win by force. Therefore, they chose think tanks that could strategize and win by planning. If they could catch their opponents off guard, they might have a chance to score an unexpected victory.
Other than that, there were also those who selected medical resources. After all, there was a lack of medical resources and various medicines in the desert. Any minor illness or even a minor wound could be lethal.
Such a primitive place was filled with danger. The gamers could be injured at any time. Hence, choosing medical resources was the most appropriate. Besides treating their own country's players, they could also trade with people from other countries.
All in all, the choices of each country were varied. While there were occasional repetitions, there were also very few.
In Country Hua, an emergency red-headed document was quickly passed down from the central government to the various local governments.
This unanimous decision was made after the meeting of the highest leaders. Unlike other countries, they decided on the bidding method and planned to recruit all the elites in the country to come to the South Sea for testing. Those who passed would be able to enter the desert world.
Very soon, everyone knew about the existence of this document. At once, people all over the country were talking about it. They were all eager to give it a shot.
"Looks like our Wudang Sect is ready to make its name in the pugilistic world. This time, we will definitely expand Wudang Sect's reputation and make a name for ourselves. We'll show the countries of the world what Hua martial arts are like!"
"Previous commenter, stop bragging. Wudang is nothing compared to Shaolin. We at Shaolin Monastery are the ones most qualified to participate in this competition. Needless to say, Shaolin Monastery will definitely stand out from the rest."
"Stop arguing, guys. We're all people of Country Hua. Regardless of which side is going, the key is being useful."
"Actually, you don't have to be highly skilled in martial arts. Other than that, you have to consider other comprehensive criteria. Being good at martial arts doesn't mean you'll definitely be chosen."
"That's right. I heard that even the special forces have been mobilized. There are even professors from Tsinghua and Peking University. In short, there are many capable people."
"Is this the world of big shots? It really makes us mortals tremble in admiration. Although I don't want to participate, I also want to go to the South Sea to join the fun. Who knows, maybe the future companions of the big shot Shen Fei will be made there."
"Previous commenter, bring me along. I want to take a look too."
In the government compound of the capital…
The people living here were all the family members of the most central political dignitaries.
A woman stepped into the room. Her long, seaweed-like hair hung loosely around her. She had a picturesque face and exquisite facial features. Without any makeup, she was already more beautiful than the celebrities on television. It could be said that she was like a hibiscus emerging from clear water, naturally sculpted.
Most importantly, her aura was cold and aloof, like the cold moon hanging above the clouds, giving her an unapproachable air.
"Father, I also want to go to South Sea for the test this time."
Mu Xue placed the red-headed document on the table.
The old man sitting on the sofa was like any other old man from an ordinary family. He wore presbyopic glasses as he read the newspaper in his hands. The radio beside him was playing a high-pitched opera tune.
The surrounding environment was very plain and simple. It looked very low-key and there was nothing luxurious. However, who would have guessed the old man in front of them was actually the highest Head of Country Hua?
When he heard Mu Xue's voice, he put down the newspaper in his hand. A sharp glint flashed across his eyes as he calmly said, "You want to go to the South Sea? You want to go to the desert world?"
