Aside from Shen Fei, the other participants also made their move.

The contestant from Country M looked tall and strong. He had calluses on his hands all year round and his skin was tanned. Judging from his appearance, he was likely a farm owner. Due to his professional habits, he chose the “golden seeds” which could bear magical fruits.

He scattered the seeds on the ground, and in just a moment, they actually sprouted and grew vines rapidly. Specks of golden light condensed in the air, and the golden fruit hung amidst the vines like a mysterious treasure.

The farm owner opened the fruit. There was bread inside it! Mind, food was extremely difficult to find in the desert.

“OMG!”

The scene beyond common reason left everyone in the live stream dumbfounded.

“F*ck, how do you beat that? This kind of seed is simply game breaking. You can plant whatever you want.”

“I don’t think it’s possible. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be called a survival game. This seed should have a condition of use, and the things it produces are random.”

Indeed, the truth was not far from what the viewers in the live stream had theorized.

Just as the farm owner was elated and about to continue planting, he received a notification from the game.

The contestant from Country A had an ordinary appearance, the kind that could easily blend into a crowd. The clothes he wore did not have any special characteristics, and gave no indication of his identity. The people in the live stream were all making guesses on what his profession was.

Daniel quickly surveyed his surroundings, and a sharp glint flashed across his eyes. No one expected such an ordinary man to be an investigation specialist from MI6.

He chose the “malfunctioning compass” that could find special items.

Following the direction indicated by the compass, Daniel strode forward and gradually blended into the yellow sand.

The contestant from Italy was dressed in a black suit and a pair of black sunglasses. He had the aura of a man who was obviously not to be trifled with. Some sharp-eyed people in the live stream recognized him.

“Isn’t that the famous godfather of the Italian Mafia? What is a mafia boss doing in this game?”

“This boss’s achievements are highly renowned. His combat prowess is off the charts. Beating ten people with one punch is no trouble for him. He can be considered a walking human weapon.”

“Is he really that strong?”

His choice was “two camels”, but they were slightly different from ordinary camels. However, this combination of mafia boss and camels was inexplicably amusing.

The Icelandic player was an extremely good-looking girl. Her curvy figure and youthful appearance immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

“Ahhhh! How did Sophia get chosen by the game? How can a delicate girl like her survive in the survival game?”

“Previous poster, wake up. Your fan filter is too strong. Have you forgotten that Sophia has participated in extreme sports variety programs before? She is a woman who was capable of winning the championship.”

“Brave Sophia, fear no hardship, all the best to Sophia! We will always be your strongest support!”

In an instant, the bullet chat was flooded with this sentence, an indicator of the massive scale of Sophia’s fan base. If not for the administrator of the live stream appearing with a warning, it might have continued for a while longer.

Sophia’s choice was “miniature pyramid.” As soon as the miniature pyramid touched the ground, it grew in size. The space inside could hold several people, and it would be a good place to avoid being disturbed by wild animals and sand.

Judging from her expression, she was obviously very satisfied with this small house.

South Africa was rich in diamonds, and the man who came here was the boss of the largest diamond mine in the area. His fingers were full of rings, and almost every one of them was priceless. The diamond boss had chosen the “handwoven flying carpet”. It was an ordinary-looking carpet, made of some unknown material. The material felt cheap, and there seemed to be nothing special about it. However, the patterns on it appeared unique, as if they were some kind of mysterious totem. The diamond boss was wondering if he had made the wrong choice. He tried to stand onto it.

With a cry of surprise, the carpet quickly rose into the air and flew tens of meters forward, before turning into a small black dot on the horizon.

“Woohoo! Take off!”

Other than that, there was also a male otaku cartoonist from Country J, and a contestant from Country H. She was also a girl and looked like a loli. She looked cute and pretty. She was likely a streamer and had quite a lot of fans.

Like the eight immortals crossing the seas, these people could be said to each have their own divine power. Either they had outstanding strength and did not need the help of external objects, or they had a certain understanding of the desert, or the initial choice had brought them great help.

Most striking of all are the contestants from Arabia and Egypt.

The contestant from Arabia was dressed in white from head to toe, intermittently adorned with expensive jewelry. It was especially obvious against the background of the yellow sand that filled the sky. Everyone vaguely guessed that he had an extraordinary background, because only people of high society were qualified to dress like this. He was either a noble or someone related to the royal family. The prop he chose was the “talking crown”, which was said to provide extremely important information.

Although everyone could see the scene, they could not hear sounds. They did not know what was so magical about this crown, but from the expression of the Arab contestant, this crown must mean something extraordinary.

The Egyptian contestant was also adorned in gold jewelry. He used his quick reflexes to choose the Pharaoh Scepter, which could control wind and sand and summon mysterious creatures. As a citizen of this ancient and mysterious country, he believed unwaveringly in the legends of history. The moment he saw the scepter, he chose it without any hesitation. The golden scepter seemed to be coated with the light of the sun, and the shaft was engraved with mysterious reliefs that extended all the way to the handle. Just by looking at it, one could tell that it was extraordinary.

He raised the scepter high above his head, and incredibly, the sandstorm gradually calmed down. At this moment, he was like a king of the desert, and all living things had to give way to him.

When the people in the live-stream saw this, their jaws fell wide open.

“Seeing this, I feel that the scepter is the most game breaking. Not only can it control the sandstorm, it can also summon mysterious creatures. Whoever chooses it would be real lucky.”

“Don’t be too naive. There must be a limit to the usage of these props. Otherwise, how can the game continue?”

“I feel that these contestants are all very impressive. Most of the things they choose are useful, unlike the two fairies. I just can’t think of any use for them.”

Shen Fei, who was once again ridiculed, was opening the Novice Gift Package in the meantime.

Shen Fei tried to take a few steps. As the sand was too soft, he would sink in from time to time. Therefore, his walking speed was extremely slow and strenuous. However, now, it was like walking on flat ground at a quick and powerful pace.

This agility was indeed useful!
