Chapter 45 -45: Ranking Settlement

Jun Lin said, “To those Lords whose strength is lacking, let me give you a reminder, the difficulty of the challenge will keep increasing, and you must face at least one wave every day.”

Jun Lin added, “If you’re not confident in your own strength, you can leave a small monster during the last wave. This way, the system will determine that you have not completed the current wave, and the challenge difficulty won’t increase further.”

Jun Lin continued, “Remember, this cycle challenge requires you to face at least seven waves of attacks. The difficulty increase over seven days is inevitable. If you have cleared too many waves in the early stages and can’t handle the seventh day…”

Mr. LPS exclaimed, “Damn! A strategy from the expert!”

Jun Lin stated further, “Today’s seventh wave consisted of two level-15 Elite Monsters and 400 level-10 small monsters, approximately corresponding to the difficulty of the seventh day. Compare for yourselves.”

Big Water Fish said, “400?! It takes me half an hour just to kill the first wave!”

Low Head Three Inches worried, “Oh no, I’ve already reached the third wave today. So, will I have to face difficulty level 10 on the seventh day?!”

Corpse King asked, “@Jun Lin, is this accurate? At this rate, what level of difficulty will it reach on the last day?”

…

Jun Lin pondered deeply over this question while sitting in his chair.

He certainly knew what the last day would be like.

Difficulty level 30, which meant that after the fifth day of killing everything, the average level of small monsters had already reached the 2nd Rank standard.

Many top-ranking elites in the previous life were trapped and died in this cycle event.

Especially those potential Lords who hadn’t truly reached the 2nd Rank but had strength comparable to the 2nd Rank.

Lacking real 2nd Rank combat power, because they killed too much in the previous days, they suffered heavy losses from the 2nd Rank wild monsters in the last two days, and some even died suddenly.

If it were a small number of 2nd Ranks, they might still manage. However, when the number of 2nd Rank wild monsters reached a certain level, it became a test of raw strength.

At least, in his previous life, Jun Lin had never heard of any Lord who achieved the full difficulty on the last day.

Jun Lin, having experienced a monster siege in his past life, knew this very well.

If he hadn’t realized this in time in his previous life and deliberately suppressed his killing speed in the last few days, he might have been one of those Lords who died suddenly.

Even so, in his previous life, he lost a lot of soldiers on the last day, barely managing to hold on by pure personal strength.

Should he remind them this time…

Jun Lin advised, “Today’s seventh wave has already reached level 10 for all, and I’m afraid in a few more days, it will be all 2nd Rank…”

Jun Lin offered, “If you need powerful explosive weapons, I can provide some emergency supplies at a negotiable price.”

Landon I replied, “Absolutely.”

Corpse King agreed, “Absolutely.”

…

Bai Yi still hid in the tree hole, watching Jun Lin’s predictions and calculating silently.

According to today’s rise from an average of level 5 to level 10 by the seventh wave, the level growth was indeed quick.

She really hadn’t considered the fixed daily wave count; upon closer thought, if someone really pushed to their limits daily.

If they couldn’t win due to the fixed increase in difficulty in the last two days, they wouldn’t even need to suffer a defeat, just a Pyrrhic victory.

A Lord who lost a significant number of soldiers, even consuming resources to recruit more, would run out of ammunition and food by the last day.

“I must hurry up and upgrade the Insect Swarm, otherwise, in the last few days, I might not be able to complete seven waves…”

*Bai Yi still had strong faith in her Insect Swarm.*

*After all, the Insect Swarm was her creation, and Bai Yi was extremely familiar with their capabilities.*

“It’s time to speed things up.”

Bai Yi moved her gaze to the corner of the channel interface and opened up the ranking list.

[Ranking List Settled, Last Week, you achieved: 1st in Territory Ranking, 4th in Comprehensive Combat Power Ranking, 5th in Personal Combat Power Ranking]

[Based on your ranking last week, you were awarded: Random job transfer certificate*1, Random Advanced Building Blueprint Pack*1, Basic Resources Self-selection (2nd Rank)*4000, Advanced Resources Self-selection (2nd Rank)*20. Keep up the good work, Lord.]

[The second Territory Ranking phase has begun, the ranking system has been updated, and the single category ranking anonymity feature is now supported. This ranking will last for one week.]

*Bai Yi had not reached the top three in the other two rankings, so she didn’t receive special rewards from those rankings, only the same 1000 Basic Resources Self-selection as the Lord ranking.*

*But the good news was, because Bai Yi had already advanced to a 2nd Rank territory, the rewards she received were all 2nd Rank self-selections.*

*Although this reward no longer had the snowball effect for Bai Yi, it was still a cherry on top.*

Before dealing with these rewards, Bai Yi opened the new ranking reward list.

[Lord Ranking Rewards:]

[1st Place: Directional Advanced Building Blueprints*1, Random Resource Building Blueprint Pack*3, Basic Resources Self-selection*4000, Advanced Resources Self-selection*100]

[2nd Place: Random Resource Building Blueprint Pack*1, Basic Resources Self-selection*4000, Advanced Resources Self-selection*50]

[3rd Place: Random Resource Building Blueprint Pack*1, Basic Resources Self-selection*4000]

[4th~10th Place: Basic Resources Self-selection*2000]

“The resources have doubled…

Well, if it didn’t double, by next week’s ranking settlement, these resources might just be a fraction.

The blueprint packs are somewhat useful, but why do they seem increasingly specialized, with all the Territory Ranking rewards skewing towards territory enhancement?”

Bai Yi opened the other two rankings and found it was indeed so.

The first in the Personal Combat Power Ranking offered 3 Superpower Crystals and a directional golden weapon, while the Comprehensive Combat Power Ranking provided golden troops along with a transfer certificate.

*The former clearly targeted the Lord’s personal improvement, while the latter leaned towards enhancing the troops and Heroes.*

“At this rate, it might really result in the strong becoming even stronger and the weak becoming weaker. If you fall behind in one aspect, you may never catch up in the future.”

*A touch of concern arose in Bai Yi’s heart but quickly turned into determination.*

“Now that the gap isn’t too wide, first aim to shoot up the rankings! First, shoot for the Comprehensive Combat Power Ranking!”

Opening the warehouse, Bai Yi proceeded to open the two card packs she had just acquired.

*After skillfully performing a Must Gold Operation, Bai Yi saw the panel prompt:*

[You used Random job transfer certificate*1, Random Advanced Building Blueprint Pack*1, and received an Enchanted Blacksmith Transfer Certificate (Gold)*1, Clear Spring Altar Blueprint (1st Rank/Gold)*1]

[Clear Spring Altar Blueprint (1st Rank/Gold): After learning, you can consume materials to make [Clear Spring Altar]. Required materials: Magic Crystal*20, Stone*500, Iron*100, Water*100]

[Clear Spring Altar (1st Rank/Gold): Draws nearby magical energy and produces 200 units of spring water per hour, with an extra 10 units of Life Spring produced daily]

“Hiss…”

*Upon seeing the panel information, Bai Yi’s first reaction wasn’t the awe of the building’s power but —*

“Didn’t I just waste money on a well?”

But soon, Bai Yi was stunned by the effects of the Clear Spring Altar.

200 units of spring water per hour, considering the water opened from Bai Yi’s treasure box earlier was about 1 liter per unit.

*Not quickly, just about the flow speed of a halfway open small water faucet, but that’s a 24/7 unlimited supply, enough for Bai Yi’s current use.*

*Besides, there’s no rule stating you can only build one!*

After closing the panel, Bai Yi glanced at the nearby Giant Bee, which was still growing strong.

Since last night, the propagating Giant Bee had already started to cocoon, and through the pale white pupa, the silhouette of the Giant Bee could be vaguely seen.

Bai Yi had exhausted her magic in order to spur the Fungus Umbrella, and now, with only 24 points left after recovering, she needed to wait for the magic to restore before further fusing genes.

The effects of the soup from yesterday had worn off, and now her magic recovery speed had regressed to a snail’s pace.

The only way to quickly recover magic now was to chew on tree fruits.

Finding a comfortable position against the tree hole wall, Bai Yi held a plump purple fruit in her hand.

She prepared to finish the fruit first before planning the construction of the newly acquired building blueprints.

*With one bite, the sweet juice infused with magic flowed into Bai Yi’s body, revitalizing her somewhat drained physique, eliciting a comfortable moan.*

*Thoughts began to scatter unknowingly.*

“Speaking of which, the panel clearly says this fruit provides a day’s worth of nutrition.

*I’ve been eating it for several consecutive days, and I’ve also eaten regular rice these days. Where did all the nutrition go…”*

*Bai Yi’s first suspicion was her increased Constitution Attribute over the past few days, suspecting that the attribute’s improvement increased her nutritional needs.*

*But her gaze unconsciously drifted towards her chest, freeing one hand to make a comparison.*

“Why does it feel like it’s grown a size bigger since coming to this world…

No, what am I thinking?!”

*Bai Yi shook her head vigorously, casting off the strange thoughts in her mind, and refocused on the fruit in her hand.*

“Now that my superpower has reached the 2nd Rank, it’s time to consider modifying the giant banyan. What attributes should I add to the giant banyan…”
