Chapter 97 – 96: “Key Evaluation: Harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself.
“Hmm?”
Having pulled an all-nighter and continuing to fight off drowsiness while working overtime, Tuberculosis Rabbit stopped upon hearing the notification sound by his ear.
“Your house is being destroyed by a player.”
“...”
Tuberculosis Rabbit, expressionless, immediately controlled his sled and rushed towards the continuously blinking red dot on the map. There was an urgent need of time, as it would take at least 7 days to cover the entire foundation across the map.
This was the scenario where he didn’t sleep and worked continuously.
Factoring in rest, it would take at least eight and a half days.
And the duration of the map was only 10 days.
He was already exhausted from racing against time, and now players were constantly tearing down his house, which was truly deserving of a thousand deaths!
Tuberculosis Rabbit steered his sled to that blinking red dot.
Without saying a word, he quickly built a small house around the foundation.
A perfectly square little house.
Each house had 10 walls, and the ceiling was also ten layers thick, with walls equally covering the outer edges where the ceiling and the walls met.
Every wall was an enhanced ultimate wall, and after throwing in some water resources and food, he left again.
The player couldn’t be killed.
Nor could he be driven away.
He simply built a house to keep the player inside, as long as they didn’t come out to cause havoc. In the future, he could do the same with other players, confining them as well.
After doing all this, he departed once again to continue laying the foundation!
A stretch of foundation was over a hundred meters wide.
When he was hovering in the sky, he could only lay a foundation of that many meters wide at once, which he called a row, the limit his eyes could take in and focus on.
The entire map required laying about 180 rows, which is 18,000 meters wide.
It was a rectangular map.
Very long, but not very wide.
The width was less than 20,000 meters.
Struggle and strive.
Tuberculosis Rabbit, after gulping down a big bucket of coffee, began to maneuver the sled and work diligently like a busy little bee.
...
It was hard to tell how much time had passed.
“993/999.”
“994/999.”
The man in the underground cave, looking above at the numbers gradually closing in, showed exhausted eyes filled with anticipation and joy, and licked his somewhat dry lips.
He slowly lifted his arm, heavy as if filled with lead, and swung the Logging Axe overhead, striking down fiercely at the foundation!
Finally—
999!
When the number reached 999, the foundation above shattered and the man, whose eyes had lost their luster, were once again filled with hopeful excitement as he struggled to climb out of the pit.
However, before he could rejoice for long, after climbing out of the hole, he noticed that he seemed to be trapped inside a house.
The dusk light spilled through the crevices into the house.
Falling on his face, it made his expression of utter despair all the more piercing.
The man, frozen in despair, let two hot streams of tears slide down his face. He didn’t know whom he had angered; he had simply dug a hole underground to take a nap, but how had it turned into this situation?
Why?
How had things developed to this point?
But soon, he saw the water and food laid out on the floor.
After a moment of stun, he grabbed a bottle of mineral water and tasted it in small sips, finding it sweet, but not daring to finish it.
The steamed bun was also delicious.
It gave his empty stomach a sense of fullness.
“First place: Tuberculosis Rabbit, score 1,320,000,”
“Second place: None.”
“Third place: None.”
The sheer 1,320,000 points could only be described as terrifying. If he remembered correctly, the scores for the buildings that appeared on the first day of the ranking board were just in the tens, right?
The highest one had only been a little over 300.
Of course, those other buildings had all disappeared, having been dismantled by the Tuberculosis Rabbit.
A score of 1,320,000 points might be close to the limit for the highest score a building could receive on the map.
Over the days, they had discovered a bug with this map.
It was that even if all the log resources on the map were harvested, there would not be enough to cover the entire map with a house.
For instance, more than half the log resources in the Tuberculosis Rabbit’s backpack had already been used.
The foundation and walls were a bit too wasteful of the logs.
To fill the inside of the walls with houses, there would simply not be enough log resources, but as the pine trees had all been harvested, they had no way to acquire new log resources.
But it was about enough.
Soon, even the remaining few hours passed, and it was time to leave the map.
Suddenly, a flash of white light appeared.
Then, Chen Yi found himself in a white space.
The walls were white all around him, the ceiling above was white, and the floor tiles beneath were white.
A prompt sounded leisurely by their ears.
“Ding, the map is now being settled and evaluated.”
“Map Evaluation”: “You harvested 99% of the pine trees within the wilderness map, turning the wilderness into a true wasteland. Congratulations on acquiring the hidden title—The Real Wilderness.”
“You did not choose to build a house, but instead survived the barbarian crisis by adapting to the unchanging environment.”
“Therefore, your comprehensive evaluation is B+.”
“Evaluation Keywords: Lazy and Gluttonous.”
“Map Settlement”: Although you have not built a house, you have earned 84,000 Points from cutting down a large number of pine trees, as well as acquiring a complete random C-level Skill and a random D-level treasure chest.
“The Real Wilderness?”
Chen Yi looked at his Title Effect, nodded thoughtfully without speaking—after all, he wasn’t the one who built the house, the Tuberculosis Rabbit did, so naturally the rewards for building it wouldn’t fall to him.
...
“Finally out?”
A player with a dazed spirit swept his gaze around, and feeling as if he had been in a different world, when he saw that he still appeared inside a house, he somewhat lost his composure, and his body went limp, collapsing straight to the ground.
Did anyone know what he had been through these ten days?
He’d been hammering away for a whole nine days!
In fact, after the first day of hammering, when he hadn’t left, he had already thought of giving up. But by the second day, he reconsidered, thinking if he gave up, wouldn’t his efforts on the first day have been in vain?
Still unable to leave on the second day, on the third day, just when he thought about giving up, it suddenly felt as if he was abandoning the previous two days.
Thus, driven by the sunk cost fallacy, he hammered away for nine long days.
Becoming more skilled over time, he felt as if he had turned into a logger.
He had completely forgotten how many walls he had smashed—10? 20?
Too many to remember.
And then, his own evaluation panel popped up before his eyes.
“Ding, the map is now being settled and evaluated.”
“Map Evaluation”: “Because you spent 9 continuous days attacking other players’ houses, you have obtained the hidden title—Agitated Husky.”
“After successfully surviving the barbarian crisis on the first day by digging a burrow, you spent the remaining nine days doing the same action: destroying other players’ houses.”
“You didn’t cut down trees, nor did you build a house of your own, you were just destroying other players’ houses.”
“It is evident that you have a strong desire to attack, you are a player who really enjoys destruction.”
“Therefore, your comprehensive evaluation is C+.”
“Evaluation Keywords: Harmful to Others, Not Beneficial to Oneself.”
“Map Settlement”: Although you have not built a house or cut down any trees, you have earned 3,920 Points for your relentless destruction of other players’ houses, along with a complete random D-level Skill.
