The local Japanese government in Okinawa initially expressed sympathy for the plight of the US military base, but its attitude quickly changed.

As US military base facilities that were swept away by the storm and fell into various parts of Okinawa and the nearby sea have been discovered.

The lighting equipment is fine, of course; cleaning up broken glass, twisted doors, and ceiling fragments is no big deal.

They even have weapons!

Some were broken ammunition boxes, while others contained complete sets of M16 automatic rifles, and even grenades.

Small, fragmented discoveries are made from time to time.

Some boxes were full, and some were empty.

God knows how many were picked up by the local Japanese people; this is a huge problem.

Well, actually, the US military is also feeling a little bad about the losses to its arsenal.

Fortunately, powerful weapons such as missiles and torpedoes are relatively heavy and were not blown away by the wind.

In response to Japan's condemnation, they could only offer a few words of comfort and say they would cooperate if necessary to prevent "terrorist attacks" from occurring on the island.

What they didn't tell the Japanese was that the amount of weaponry swept away by the wind was actually far greater than the Japanese had estimated.

...

The stolen weapons were eventually hidden by Ao Guang near the trees in the mountains, while Wu You had not yet seen what was inside.

When Ao Guang saw the majestic and magnificent mountain range through his vision.

I suddenly remembered that I had a design bounty online for a treetop manor.

It's been almost half a month, judging by the time.

It's time to take a look. Hopefully, someone has already provided a solution.

Turn on your computer and search for "Zhuchongzhijia" (筑虫之家).

The result was a bunch of related links that popped up, all of which came with some nice-looking screenshots.

They are mainly major well-known forums and websites.

The official website of Zhuchongzhijia, which should have been ranked first in the search bar, was only ranked fifth.

Seeing those miniature renderings appearing in the Baidu search bar, Wu You felt they looked familiar. Damn, those trees are just mountain trees!

Quickly enter the Insect House and log in to your previous account.

Wow, my personal information shows tens of thousands of private messages.

Ten private messages are nothing to look at, but tens of thousands? Wu You has no desire to click on them at all.

Are advertisers these days really this outrageous?

Then there were many posts on the forum discussing the content of their bounties, but I didn't see my own bounty post for a while.

(Okay, Wu You also overlooked the section with pinned posts across the entire site.)

I had no choice but to go to the personal space on the forum to look for it.

It turned out that the bounty post they made had received several thousand replies.

I clicked in and took a look.

The first few thousand posts were mostly spam and people leaving their names before the trend started. Later on, the spam decreased, making room for designers to upload their designs.

Wait a minute, the quantity seems to be quite a lot.

I counted, and from the first guy named "Shishishi" on the 3561st floor uploading, all the way to the 3700th floor, they were all consecutive compressed files of uploaded design plans.

Although the timing is different.

But, holy crap, what the heck are 140 options?

Isn't it said that designers are all arrogant? Isn't it said that in terms of normal working efficiency, it takes half a month to almost finish a design?

Why did "Shishishi" get it done in just two or three days? And what's with the exaggerated enthusiasm on the forum?

Okay, that's not the point for Wu You.

Just browsing through each of these 140 options would take an unknown amount of time, not to mention comparing them.

Are design teams really that short of money these days? 2 million is a lot, but it's a bit excessive.

Just as I was thinking this, I realized that the reward amount in the post was incorrect.

The forum administrator later added 8 million more, bringing the total to 10 million coins.

"Damn it, I don't recognize this 8 million!" Wu You thought to himself.

...

The Zhuchong Forum and various online broadcasting platforms have been waiting for the "Master of Wanshou Manor" to appear.

This unreliable bounty poster simply posted a message and then disappeared for over ten days.

The online battles are so fierce, yet he hasn't even posted a single reply.

Many people sent him private messages with questions, but he didn't reply to any of them.

It was the forum administrator who spoke up, saying that the ID "Master of Ten Thousand Beasts Manor" hadn't logged in recently at all.

However, the forum's builders, along with other waiting netizens, firmly believe...

This "Master of Ten Thousand Beasts Manor" is definitely using an alternate account to "observe secretly" from the sidelines.

No new design teams have uploaded any proposals in the past few days.

The continuous updates of the renderings have also basically stopped.

Everyone is now waiting for the "Master of Ten Thousand Beasts Manor" to "draw the prize".

But this guy is incredibly patient; he just won't show up.

Brother, please understand how frustrated we are. There are many design proposals that haven't had their renderings uploaded online.

We just want to see that.

Of course, there's also the casual act of adding fluff and excitement during the selection process.

...

Wu You was somewhat troubled.

Regardless, they've already uploaded their proposal, and their post title includes the words "competition."

Okay, let's download the file package first.

The 140 compressed files are all close to 1 GB each, and most of the space is occupied by renderings.

Wu You swore that he had never downloaded anything this outrageous in his entire life.

Fortunately, our savior appeared soon.

The forum administrators have been keeping a close eye on the bounty design contest.

Upon seeing that "Master of Ten Thousand Beasts Manor" had finally come online, I immediately contacted him via private message through the site's management.

They indicated that if Wu You was willing, they could cooperate with him in selecting these proposals.

The judging panel will consist of experienced builders from the forum who did not participate in the competition.

Although the Zhuchong Forum had wanted to do this for a long time, the poster was not present, so it was not allowed to arbitrarily access those compressed files.

Wu You, of course, welcomed the gesture with open arms.

He's not a real architectural master, and he scoffs at those speculations in those casual posts that portray him as a design guru.

After discussing it with the administrator.

Ultimately, the Zhuchongzhijia (Building Insects House) hosted the initial selection process, choosing the final five shortlisted designs.

Then Wu You himself will decide which plan will win.

Once the selection process was finalized, the administrator immediately posted a notice on the forum, offering a reward for the original poster's appearance, and worked with the website to determine the selection method.

This caused an uproar on the Zhuchongzhijia website and the internet as a whole.

Finally, something interesting is happening.

Some bizarre online betting platforms have already started pre-emptively placing bettors.

...

Hu Lei is feeling somewhat uneasy and conflicted, although he is very confident in his design.

But then another 139 were uploaded, most of which were from well-known and highly capable design teams.

They're not pushovers.

He would have had a significant advantage if it had been a time-consuming battle.

Who would have thought that this "Master of Ten Thousand Beasts Manor" would act completely unpredictably and disappear for half a month.

This turned his advantage of being the first to upload into a disadvantage.

He and his roommates, who check the forum every day, discovered that "Master of the Manor of Ten Thousand Beasts" had finally come online today.
