The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 40 - Rushing the Rankings

Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Rushing the Rankings!

Chapter 40 -40: Rushing the Rankings!

[You have used the Skill Book—Spiritual Strong Thought (Gold), and you have acquired the skill Spiritual Strong Thought lv.1 (Gold)]

The previously accumulated skill points, which couldn’t be used without any usable common skills, had built up to 23 points by now.

Finally, they could be put to use.

Without hesitation, Bai Yi immediately upgraded both “I Am the Swarm” and “Spiritual Strong Thought” to level 10, and then checked the skill details.

I Am the Swarm lv.10 (Gold): Freely control “Insect Swarm” units, maximum range of 10 kilometers, gaining 2 points of spirit damage immunity for every 10 insect swarm units within the area, spiritual judgment value +2 additionally, and Spirit Attribute +2 for every 100 insect swarm units.

Current modifications: Spirit +2, spiritual judgment value +20, Spirit Immunity +20

Spiritual Strong Thought lv.10 (Gold): Gaining Spiritual Value Attribute (490/490), Spiritual Value can be consumed to use Telekinesis, consuming 10~490 points of Spiritual Value to cause spiritual damage to targets within a certain range, calculated as consumed Spiritual Value *2.5 points.

Turning her gaze to the leaderboard, her ranking climbed again, reaching the 2nd Rank Blue, shooting up to 4th place.

And with Bai Yi climbing into the top ten, it meant someone else would be pushed down.

*So who would that unlucky person be?*

…

White Poplar City Center, Su’s Sanctuary

Zero stared at the anomaly on the leaderboard, eyes darting inquisitively as he pondered for a moment, then glanced towards Second Young Master Su.

At this moment, Second Young Master Su was standing on a vacant lot, with a circle of whips curled around his peaked cap, clutching two hefty long knives in his mouth.

He wore a coat full of pockets, stuffed with various explosives, where traces of a bulletproof vest could be faintly seen inside the coat, and two makeshift guns were strapped across his back.

Using his hands, between his legs, and in his armpits, he tightly gripped a variety of weapons, numbering at least a dozen.

His face flushed red with strain, limbs trembling, he looked like he was performing a circus act.

Yes, this was the truth behind his high ranking in the combat power list.

Yesterday, he successfully took down a small sanctuary near his territory, seizing a lot of weapons in one fell swoop, including some leftover firearms.

At this moment, these weapons of varying rarity were already hanging on his body, providing him with a more or less combat power rating.

Trying to suppress laughter, Zero brewed his emotions, and exclaimed urgently,

“Young Master Su! It’s not good, someone temporarily climbed the rankings, pushing down Young Master Su’s personal combat power ranking!”

“Hmm? Hmph!”

Originally barely holding on, Second Young Master Su was startled by the news, causing his grip to falter, and the long knives slipped from his mouth.

This release triggered a chain reaction, causing all the barely hanging weapons on his body to fall.

Pulling up the channel panel, the topic within indeed began to shift toward guessing the identity of this mysterious, anonymous leaderboard climber.

Moreover, someone noticed that this mysterious climber specifically raised their ranking to the 10th spot, lingering just long enough to kick Second Young Master Su out of the top ten before continuing upward.

Foll𝑜w current novℯls on ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm.

It was as if it was intended as a mockery.

Bai Yi: “Don’t talk nonsense, I didn’t do it (eyes glancing sideways)”

Some even began to suspect a personal feud between two people that led to this ranking surge at such a time.

“Pah, doesn’t matter, let’s start directly, it’s good enough for now, missing one ranking doesn’t matter.”

Spitting out saliva tainted with the taste of sweat in disdain, Second Young Master Su ignored the remaining weapons still hanging on him and hurriedly began operating the panel.

Second Young Master Su, “Thanks for the love everyone, so while we have this opportunity, let me announce something, isn’t the Cycle Challenge about to start? Our company has decided to officially begin some business, selling some material urgently needed by everyone.”

Second Young Master Su, “The specific list of materials and business will later be announced in detail by @Zero, and I hope everyone will come and support us!”

Gou Dan, “Young Master Su, you are mighty!”

Zero, “Thank you, Young Master Su, for your kindness. If there’s anything anyone wants to buy or inquire about, you can come to me, and I’ll now explain the specific purchasing method…”

Watching the feedback in the channel, bolstered by some prepared water army in the company, the channel’s direction was reluctantly steered back from the matter of his ranking being overtaken to his announcement.

As long as the promotion was effective this time, then starting tomorrow, the food acquired through various channels would be flowing back at several times the profit.

Reflecting on the week since he arrived here, Second Young Master Su couldn’t help feeling a bit proud.

Starting with capital from a discovered body, accumulating strength to produce the first set of resources.

Then reinvesting all the resources into the company’s construction, gathering a group of low-end Lords, leveraging resources to absorb another wave of resources, and investing it all back into food once more.

If this plan succeeded, after the Cycle Challenge, he could easily reap the benefits from most of the mid-to-low-end Lords in the region.

*With all the low-end Lords sustaining him, wouldn’t that be stronger than those solo so-called big shots?*

“*Let you show off for now, but once I develop, only I will be king!*

*Hmph, Old Deng says I’m too young, we’ll see when I build a company stronger than Su’s, to let you know I’m not inferior!*”

…

*Although it’s unclear how much trouble it caused the other side, this was all Bai Yi could do without exposing herself.*

Happily closing the panel, Bai Yi also began considering tomorrow’s challenge.

*Although her current strength wasn’t lacking, she certainly wouldn’t be satisfied with just defeating the first wave and merely earning basic points.*

*But how exactly to strategize required some thought.*

According to the announcement on the first day, there were two ways to end the day’s challenge.

The first being simple and direct, defeating a total of 7 waves of monsters.

This way, not only could full points be earned, but early access to purchases in the Points Store was also possible.

Bai Yi thought, based on the announcement, the Points Store would likely be a shared one, where whoever grabbed an item first got it.

The second method was lasting 1 hour during the Monster Siege, letting the challenge naturally end.

But no matter how many points were earned, after an hour, there might not be many good items left in the store.

*Consequently, it effectively began an invisible race among the elites.*

*The faster one killed, the better the items they could get.*

*So she needed to improve her combat power seriously.*

“Starting tomorrow, I’ll first break through the Beetle’s level!

Once the Genetic Fusion of the Giant Bee is complete, I’ll use the enhanced Giant Bee as the main force, ensuring that even as the difficulty gradually increases, I’ll still have the qualifications for the race.

Also, the Fungus Umbrella needs to be arranged for tomorrow, and maybe…”
