Chapter 187: Fifth (1/2)
Most of the audience members including Alex were shocked at this information. This was such an out of nowhere piece of information that it had caught them truly off guard.
The host was smiling wide seeing the look of disbelief on the faces of the audience. Not only them, but it also seemed that even some of the players, including the old man named Sean, were completely unaware of this information.
”The world of Eternal Cultivation is truly vast, and it also contains a lot of different places not available in the real world. For example, in the northern continent, there are flowing frozen rivers called glaciers. In the eastern continent, there are mountain peaks that spew out fiery liquid from the top. The west has an unending forest.”
”There are beaches, which are small strips of land on the edge of the world that meets the water. There are giant cliffs with deep ravines in between called canyons. There are so many different things to explore, and most of us just stay in the cities. Such a shame,” the host said while shaking his head.
Alex thought so too. 'There is so much more world that I have yet to see, and I am just staying in one city. I should leave to explore other places.' A small fire of excitement began to light up deep inside him, bringing the fun back into the game.
”Now, returning back to the players while still staying on the topic of continents. How many of you are from the eastern continents?” the host asked the guests.
5 people raised their hands, including Hannah and Emily's friend.
”How many of you are from the Northern continent?” he then asked.
4 hands raised this time including the old man Sean.
”The Southern continent?” the host asked.
All of the remaining 4 hands were raised at this point, including Aaron.
”And we can see that there are none of you from the Western Continent. It's weird, isn't it? We have seen the statistics report and surprisingly, only 12% of all players are in the Western Continent.”
”And furthermore, they are always slow on the rise. The resources there are lower than the ones in the other continent. Do any of you have an idea why that might be?” the host asked.
'Didn't sister say that I was from the Western Continent? Is it really that bad?' he wondered.
The guests there made some guesses as to why that might have been. Some said they might have been slow to develop. Some said, the developers just made it that way. However, none of the guests could make any credible guesses, so the host decided to change the topic.
”Since we do not know about it that much, let us move to another topic. That topic being…” the host immediately turned around to point at the center of the map which was nothing but water.
