Unlike Nyx, the audience had witnessed the entire process.
They saw the moment the crocodile emerged from the river, only to immediately receive a slap from the lion.
The slap was swift and accurate, hitting the crocodile’s weak spot.

The crocodile was knocked dizzy, and the ambush he had charged up for missed its mark. Realizing that things weren’t going well, he immediately tried to retreat, but it was too late.
In the blink of an eye, the three fierce beasts shed their innocent, cub–like aura and blocked his escape route.
By the time Nyx looked back, the battle was already over.
As the team leader, she clearly heard the system announce an additional point, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
She thought, ‘So, my cub, who isn’t even one year old, has successfully taken down a crocodile? Even though it is three against one, it still seems absurd no matter how you look at it.
The barrage of comments flooded with people admitting they’d been fooled.
[How could this be a cub?]
[They did it on purpose, pretending to be weak to lure people in.]
[Ahhh, I’ve been tricked so badly…]
[19 seconds, finished the fight without taking any damage.]
[This should count as the lion’s personal achievement? The other two didn’t even lift a finger.]
[Is it just me, or does this lion really have a vibe similar to General Lane?]
Those who had been loudly urging the crocodile to eliminate this team fell silent and shut their mouths in embarrassment.
Though embarrassed, they stayed in the livestream room and didn’t leave.
The reason they had looked down on this team was simply because they idolized strength and power, belittling the weak.
But now, they had been corrected by this battle and wanted to keep watching.
The livestream’s popularity skyrocketed visibly.
As a new star rose, the team suddenly paused the game. The audience stared at the suddenly darkened screen, confused and puzzled.
In the game room, Nyx stepped out of the holographic game pod and began pulling the cubs out one by one.
“Didn’t we agree not to fight?” she asked.
The three cubs stood in a row, their little heads hanging low.
“But… we won,” Chubby muttered softly.
Recently, they had been learning combat skills from their father, practicing diligently every day in the virtual training room, all to avoid surrendering or admitting defeat.

Nyx fell silent for a moment. The fact that the cubs had won was completely unexpected.
They certainly didn’t lack combat talent, given that their fathers were among the Empire’s strongest warriors. But Nyx thought they were still so young for such tasks.

“Nyx, Jaws called out as he heard the commotion and entered the room, speaking up for the scolded cubs. “Letting them train a bit isn’t a bad thing.
“I started fighting when I was very young too. They’re stronger than I was back then, so you don’t need to worry too much, Besides, it’s just a holographic game. It can’t hurt them.
Nyx looked down and saw the longing in the cubs‘ eyes, her stance softening slightly.
She went to ask the other mates for their opinions, and most of them agreed that males were born for battle.
Beastmen valued martial prowess, and every male would eventually have to learn to fight.
Whether it was Chubby, Sky, or Ash, they were far stronger than ordinary cubs. Since they had the ability, starting practical combat training early wasn’t a bad idea.
Compared to the strong cubs, the mates were more concerned about Nyx.
They sternly instructed the cubs, “You must protect your mother. If you can’t win, surrender immediately.”
Losing the game didn’t matter, but Nyx must not be hurt–not even in a virtual game.
The cubs nodded repeatedly.
“Come on, let me teach you a few more moves,” Felix said, taking over their training.
In the livestream, the audience had waited all night, and it wasn’t until the next morning that Nyx and the others finally logged back in.
[They’re here!]
[Finally online!]
[I almost fell asleep waiting!]
Not only were the viewers waiting for them, but after the surge in traffic the previous day, many teams from the same map had come to camp at their logout spot, hoping to ride the wave of popularity.
As soon as Nyx entered the game, she felt the weight of countless eyes watching her, making her tense.
Fortunately, players who had just logged in had a two–minute protection period as a buffer.
Seizing the opportunity, she quickly planned an escape route in her mind. She thought, ‘First, run to the right. Then split
up.‘
The two minutes flew by, and the system sounded the countdown: [3, 2, 1–time’s up!]
Before Nyx could react, Sky and Ash charged out like mad dogs.
The people hiding in the shadows were completely caught off guard by their aggressive move.
The chat exploded instantly.

[Ahhhhhhhhhh!]
Starting off this intense?]
(No more pretending to be cubs today?]
Amid the chaos, Nyx heard a series of point notifications. [Eliminated one opponent: gained 2 points.]
92
They only needed 100 points to advance to the intermediate map. In just a short while, their points had already climbed to
- 48.
Nyx was utterly stunned.
The wind howled as a leopard leaped down from a tree and lunged at her, ready to bite.
Since he couldn’t defeat those two terrifying figures, he decided to bite and kill their little rabbit teammate.
In the blink of an eye, Nyx heard a loud crash.
When she turned around, she saw that Chubby had actually whipped his tail and snapped the thick tree where the leopard had been hiding.
The leopard, of course, couldn’t escape in time and was instantly turned into 2 points.
The little rabbit was trembling in fear. She thought, ‘How could my soft and cute Chubby become as vicious as his father?”
The live chat was stunned as well.

[I almost thought this was Jaws himself…]
[Ditto!]
[I’m terrified. This is the first time I’ve seen a snake this scary, aside from Jaws…]
[I feel like this snake is the strongest in the team. Too bad he didn’t participate in the battle.]
[It’s probably because he’s protecting the rabbit, right?]
[Tsk, it’d be better if the rabbit wasn’t here.]
[The beginner map is fine, but when we reach the intermediate map, the rabbit’s weakness will definitely become more obvious.]
[Let’s eliminate him early. A three–person team would be much better.]
Despite the endless discussions in the live chat, the three fierce animals finished their fight and then happily trotted over to Nyx, wagging their tails as if asking for praise.
The audience was speechless.
[What’s the relationship between this rabbit and them?]
[Why does it feel like they’re all listening to him?]
[It’s like a rich nepo baby playing with his bodyguards he hired with money.]
[It must be nice to have money.]

Nyx carefully checked the little ones for injuries. Fortunately, none of them were seriously hurt. But even minor injuries made her feel sorry for them.
The little rabbit drooped his cars. “We need to find some medical supplies.”
Even though it was a wilderness survival game, there were occasional supply drops on the map, and sometimes there were points to collect.
However, the probability of finding supplies was extremely low.
The live chatters couldn’t help but comment.
[Do they really need to treat such minor injuries?]
[It’s not that easy to find medical supplies…]
[Unless the Beast God intervenes to help them.]
[LMAO!]
[Stop joking.]
