Reality proved that Shen Fei’s guess was right.

Every action of the players in the game world tugged at the hearts of the higher-ups in the real world. It was like a butterfly flapping its wings, triggering a tsunami.

They were just like this butterfly. All sorts of minute actions could be reflected in the real world, followed by a series of effects.

Capital, Country Hua, 10:00 a.m.

In the conference room, the supreme leader sat at the head of the table. The rest were all very important members. It could be said that the entire core leadership team was gathered here.

They held this meeting in secret. It concerned the future of Country Hua and could even affect the entire world. This meeting had a profound impact on the future generations. Some called it “The Pioneer”, while others called it “The Awakened”.

In short, this meeting held extraordinary significance to everyone, and the impact it had was immeasurable. However, this was all in the future.

“I’m sure everyone knows today why I gathered everyone here.”

The central screen in the meeting room lit up. It was showing Shen Fei’s live stream.

“This is the recent report and summary, as well as the latest research results and proof from the experts.”

Everyone flipped through the information in their hands. Even though they had been through a lot, they still couldn’t help but gasp when they saw this data.

The power of the national governance could not be underestimated. Even though they could not figure out the origin of this game and how it worked, they could still conduct a series of data analysis through the players’ actions and results.

These were the results made by super-geniuses and top scientists in relevant fields working round the clock.

“As you can see, the actions of the contestants might be reflected in the real world. At the same time, they will receive two parts of the reward. One part will be immediately settled, and the other part will be settled in the end.”

“Our Country Hua’s chosen contestant is Shen Fei. It can be said that he carried the hope of Country Hua’s renaissance on his shoulders!”

Right now, the game had only just begun. The timber and oasis that were reflected in the real world due to Shen Fei had already brought huge benefits to Country Hua.

If the game continued, they didn’t dare to imagine what will happen in the future. However, they were certain that the benefits would be extremely huge. The prerequisite was that Shen Fei must maintain his advantage.

“Although the game and the reality are separate now, according to data research by our experts, they’re very likely to become interconnected in the future.”

After all, the things in the game could be reflected in reality. Did that mean that the real world could connect to the players in the future? This game was too magical. It seemed that nothing was impossible.

“Considering the huge value that Shen Fei has brought to Country Hua, even if he didn’t know it now, we should give him a certain reward.”

The solution to this was that if Shen Fei obtained private property, a company run by the state would help to manage it. If it was an invisible property, it would correspond to a tax exemption or a medal of honor.

This plan received the unanimous approval of everyone. After all, Shen Fei was a popular player. It’s hard to say if other countries would try to get him in the future.

As the saying goes, patrons always made things easier. Shen Fei still didn’t know that he had been provided official cover by the country.

After settling the matter of Shen Fei, the meeting continued.

At the same time, the various countries around the world also took action. Like Country Hua, they mobilized experts in the related fields to conduct more in-depth research.

They watched every video over and over again, unwilling to miss out on any details, especially Shen Fei’s. After all, he was the only one who had reached an oasis. Furthermore, from the current situation, he had obtained a few gadgets that had great research value.

The other citizens were not idle either. For a while, there were all sorts of dazzling analysis posts and technical experts on the Internet.

Anything related to the desert survival game had a terrifying reading volume and visitor volume, which continued to rise rapidly. A super topic on a certain social platform had exceeded billions in reading volume, equivalent to more than half of Country Hua’s population.

As for certain discussion platforms, there were endless discussions and posts about Shen Fei, trying to dig up information on all his ancestors.

It got to the point where people claiming to be Shen Fei’s classmates, relatives and friends all popped up, though it was hard to tell if they were real or fake.

For a time, the entire Internet was flooded with the name Shen Fei. Anyone who surfed on the Internet knew Shen Fei.

There was an expert in technical editing who edited Shen Fei’s sand surfing, sand summoning, and those videos with desert eagle together. Coupled with rhythmic music, it was thrilling to the extreme.

It’s the kind that people could not stop watching once they clicked on it.

“It’s really addictive. I’ve heard it more than ten times. Every time I open it, it feels like I’ve opened the door to a new world.”

“Previous poster, you’re not alone. It’s really exhilarating. I feel all excited from watching it.”

“Shen Fei is really awesome. I’m speechless.”

“Mom asked me why I’m watching videos on my knees. I offer the big shot my worship!”

“From now onwards, Shen Fei is my idol. I am Shen Fei’s fan. I want to establish a worldwide fan club for him!”

“Bring me along for the fan club.”

While everyone was discussing, the meeting of the top brass of Country Hua also ended. The highest leader gave his signature. “No problem, we can release it now.”

Both Country Hua and the international community were shocked.

“F*ck! You guys, look at the official website and the latest international news!”

There was a lot of content on it, but most of it revolved around one person—Shen Fei.

Many people knew about the game affecting reality. After all, Shen Fei caused such a huge uproar previously that it’s hard for people to ignore it. However, the country had never acknowledged it. Now that the official announcement has been made, the fact was certain.

Other than that, some of the research results were also announced. The massive amount of information shocked the public, and for a long time, everyone was still in a daze. After all, some of the contents were too shocking.

When they saw that their country wanted to open a company for Shen Fei, everyone’s expressions became extremely indecipherable.

“Shen Fei is probably the only person in history who can make the country give him the green light.”

“Shen Fei deserves it. After all, he has contributed so much to Country Hua!”

“To be able to play a game to such an extent that even the country is supporting him makes him truly a role model for our generation.”

No one felt any jealousy. They only had respect and admiration for Shen Fei!

He deserved this!
