Chapter 283
-Despite their immense experience and wisdom, these Farmers are of an age where their physical strength might be questionable...
Such concerns proved to be unfounded. The return of Earth’s top-ranked Farmers who had been dispatched to Arvis played a crucial role in this situation. These Farmers had mixed feelings about the urgent call back to Earth.
“I rushed here thinking Master urgently summoned us to Earth for...”
“I thought he would tell us to work more in Arvis and not think about what’s going on Earth, but...”
Thanks to the enthusiastic involvement of their teachers from Arvis in helping Earth, Earth’s Farmers were able to return to the Server from Arvis.
Moreover, the Farmers affiliated with the MK Foundation who were dispatched to Scanorbia also supported Earth in large numbers, bringing along with them many of Scanorbia’s powerful workers. These actions deeply moved and resonated with the people on Earth.
-Many have set aside their livelihoods to join the others in dealing with the crisis facing Earth.
-We must not lose hope.
-We are not alone.
The collective effort of numerous skilled Players enabled the successful transplantation of the Guardian Tree’s branches across the globe.
[In New York, Montevideo, Paris, Tokyo, Singapore, New Delhi, Berlin... the Guardian Trees have taken root...]
The Guardian Trees grew around the world. Although they were not as colossal and sacred as Seoul’s Guardian Tree, they were certainly fulfilling the role of young Guardian Trees.
[There has been a noticeable decrease in the mortality rate...]
The mere news of a reduced mortality rate gave humanity clear hope.
[To honor the dedication of so many, internal divisions must cease.]
[Fighting among ourselves betrays their sacrifice.]
Embraced by hope, humanity halted wars against each other and swiftly began to regain peace. The Farmers from Arvis spared no effort in sharing their expertise. Thanks to their passionate commitment, the young Guardian Trees thrived.
Soon, another significant announcement was made.
[The super Server Arvis has decided to provide full support to Earth!]
[With the Helen Empire leading the charge, along with Swedeen and Mazique joining the support...]
[The Helen Empire has decided to supply their remaining stock of healing potions for free...]
[The Mazique Empire has already started mass production of healing potions with emergency approval...]
Many experts made a prediction:
[The Earth Server will soon conquer the Levion Virus, just as many advanced Servers have done before.]

The three great empires of Arvis received high praise from the entire universe. As a super Server governing the order of the universe, Arvis had a publicly stated duty not to ignore the difficulties of weaker Servers.
“Arvis... is so cool!”
“Yes, as top citizens, we should lend a hand.”
“This is the magnanimity and generosity of a super Server...!”
Although the citizens of Arvis felt immense pride in their Server, not everyone shared this sentiment.
Marshmallow idly scratched his head, which was shaped like a marshmallow. “These politicians... they’re pretty smart, don’t you think?”
“Yeah, you’re right,” Encyclopedia replied.
“They do everything that looks cool.”
Marshmallow accurately perceived the hidden motives of the empires. First, they aimed to gain soft power as the most generous super Server in the history of the universe. Then, they sought to revive their declining primary industries.
The current generation of Farmers in Arvis was aging, and among the next generation, hardly any Players dreamed of becoming Farmers. If this trend continued, Arvis’s primary industry would collapse, an unwelcome prospect for the empires. A Server’s ability to be self-sufficient significantly affected its capacity to handle crises.
Marshmallow grumbled, “The empires already contacted me, asking to create content that heroizes Farmers.”
It was crucial to inspire the younger generation to dream of becoming Farmers. They would be the backbone leading the new era. This was precisely what the empires were aiming for, hence their full support in making Trituri a hero of Arvis.
Encyclopedia asked, “Did you agree to do it?”
“Are you crazy? Why would I do it for their sake?”
Marshmallow was never fond of the empires. It made sense, as he was losing nearly sixty percent of his earnings to taxes. Marshmallow was the person to hold a grudge against politicians.
Encyclopedia’s eyes narrowed. ‘But he’s a coward. Since when did he refuse requests from the empires? He was always cooperative with the empires.’
His compliance with the empires until now was not so much out of affection for them, but rather out of fear of triggering a tax investigation on his channel. Marshmallow never spoke ill of the empires, except in front of his close friend.
‘There must be another reason!’
Marshmallow provided a lengthy explanation. “But for an event of this scale, it would be fitting for me, Arvis’s greatest Streamer, to be dispatched to a minor and deficient Server like Earth, right? I think I have a good reason, right? It’s not a terrible idea, right?”
“...”
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“You just want to collaborate with Chul-Soo, don’t you?”
Marshmallow’s head turned red. “Do you think I’m one of those Chul-Soo Landers or something?”
Just then, an alarm went off on his phone. It was a notification for the recruitment of members for the second generation of Chul-Soo Land.
***
Many Healers gained fame for curing the Levion Virus. Super Doctor Ronaldo attracted significant popularity as one of the most sought-after, the reason being his miraculous ability to treat hundreds of patients a day. He recently felt his abilities had greatly enhanced.
‘Experience is indeed crucial for a Healer!’
Yet, it was mainly thanks to the Guardian Trees. A Guardian Tree had also grown in New York, enhancing his abilities further. He managed to gain several Achievements while treating countless patients. Given the Server-level Scenario, the experience points he got were especially rewarding. Thanks to the Server benefits, he jumped to the top rank among Healers in the United States and indulged in his popularity.
“Had the truth been revealed to me earlier, a solution could have been devised more promptly.” As he created a common enemy for the people, his popularity skyrocketed. He became even more intoxicated with fame. “Chul-Soo’s arrogance has escalated the situation to this point.”
Jin-Hyeok was also aware of Ronaldo’s claims. However, he did not really feel bad about what Ronaldo was saying about him.
“Oh, I guess people can interpret it this way!” Jin-Hyeok said. He was rather excited to see an event interpreted from a completely different perspective. Today, he was again inspired and felt he had grown.
***
Marshmallow jumped abruptly. “I... I did it!”
He jumped so high his head hit the ceiling, squashing his marshmallow-shaped head.
Encyclopedia joined the excitement. “Oh, are you finally an official Chul-Soo Lander?”
“Yes! The second generation! I am number one thousand! I barely made it...!”
The second generation of Chul-Soo Land expanded the membership to one thousand members, including the first-generation members. Marshmallow had successfully become the last member, numbered one thousand.
Encyclopedia chuckled, and Marshmallow’s face turned bright red as he said, “It’s not because I am a real fan of Chul-Soo. I want to see how an emerging talent grows... I just want to analyze what the new generation likes. It’s kind of like market research...”
“I didn’t say anything,” Encyclopedia replied, still smiling.
Being the one-thousandth member of the Chul-Soo Land, Marshmallow was terribly upset. “That Super Doctor is crossing the line, huh?”
“Chul-Soo seems to like it, though?” Encyclopedia wanted to say that it would be better for Marshmallow to think like Chul-Soo as both of them were Streamers, but he knew Marshmallow was not going to listen.
“I am going to bury that guy!” The top-ranked Streamer in the universe, Marshmallow, began his journey to the Earth Server.
***
Marshmallow’s livestream was one of the most influential in the universe. His movements could sway public opinion across the cosmos. Thus, he generally avoided livestreams that could significantly influence the public.
“....and I am including an analysis from Encyclopedia.”
Encyclopedia was also a credible community commentator. According to Encyclopedia’s analysis, the main person responsible for worsening the Levion Scenario was none other than Super Doctor Ronaldo.
“Due to this incident, Super Quacktor, I mean Super Doctor Ronaldo, has gained a lot of Levels, wealth, and fame. But what has Chul-Soo gained? Nothing. Sure, he gained fame, but is there anyone on the Earth Server who doesn’t know Chul-Soo? Adding a drop of water to the ocean does not make it any deeper.
“Chul-Soo is sharing his precious Guardian Trees around the world, together with Earth’s Farmers, Arvis’s Farmers, and Scanorbia’s workers. He is dedicating himself to Earth right now. Who dares to belittle his dedication?” Marshmallow was much more agitated than usual.
With Marshmallow joining the fray, public opinion in the universe shifted. The Chul-Soo Land fans, who had been holding back because Chul-Soo didn’t say anything, expressed their anger.
“I was holding back because Chul-Soo seemed to be okay with Ronaldo’s claim, but I guess I wasn’t the weird one!”
“Right! It’s normal to be angry!”
“How dare he mess with Chul-Soo?”
The very active Chul-Soo Landers headed to Earth.
Super Doctor Ronaldo, who had become arrogant after reaching the top rank, scoffed at the Chul-Soo Landers. “What are they going to do by coming here? Who do they think they are? Do they think they are something important?”
‘How dare they challenge me, the top-ranked Healer of the United States, a new aristocrat of this era? Do they think they have even the slightest impact on me? At most, they would spew nonsense on the internet.’ That was what Ronaldo thought. However, that was his arrogance talking.
He was constantly threatened with assassination attempts. Numerous Assassins had put their daggers to his neck. Ronaldo had overlooked one thing. Even Marshmallow, a top ranker of the universe, had barely made it into Chul Soo Land as the one-thousandth member. Not everyone had joined Chul-Soo Land through fair and honest means.
