Chapter 20: Chapter 20: The End of the Beginner Phase, Outrageous Rankings


    ?


    [The 7-day beginner period is over, "Lord Era" has finished updating; the update is as follows:]


    [1: Remove all scattered resources, treasure boxes, and other materials]


    [2: Remove the rule that monsters only stay in one place without moving]


    [3: Difficulty of instances and monsters increases]


    [4: Increase the chance of encountering native inhabitants]


    [Please note: The Talent Lord leaderboard and weekly activities have commenced]


    Qin Muye looked at the brief update and his Mage Tower Territory that now lacked a layer of protection, making him understand the real struggle had just begun.


    Either they adapt or die, so the remaining 23 days are called the Adaptation Period.


    Firstly, the first point meant that basic resources, scattered resources, and various treasures could no longer be obtained by picking them up, which made the situation more difficult for all the Talent Lords, left with no choice but to rely on resource buildings or their own collection or struggles.


    As for the second point, although the monsters no longer stupidly stay in one spot and are able to roam around, combined with the end of the beginner period, it is very easy to be attacked by these monsters.


    During the Adaptation Period, monsters won''t proactively attack Lord Territories, but that doesn''t mean they won''t attack Lords who are out hunting and collecting. This further solidified Qin Muye''s idea of not venturing out unless absolutely necessary.


    This is related to the third point, and in Qin Muye''s eyes, the biggest crisis should be the fourth point. It meant that the Lords would soon have deeper interactions with the natives of the Magic Continent. This was an opportunity, but also a huge danger.


    People can be good or bad, who knows what type of person the first native they meet will be?


    As for the rest, it came as a surprise -- the leaderboard and the weekly activities, where game and reality intertwined, giving Qin Muye a sense of surrealism.


    He then opened the Lord leaderboard to see what the situation was like.


    [Lord opening the leaderboard for the first time, please enter your Lord code]


    "Pretty user-friendly, huh?" couldn''t help but chuckle Qin Muye. After some thought, he directly entered *** three characters.


    Yes, it was three censored asterisks.


    [This Monster Siege event will feature a speed kill competition, calculating the average speed from seven attempts.]


    [1st Place: 100,000 of 3 types of Basic Resources, 10,000 of 4 types of Special Resources, 1 Advanced Treasure, 1 Rare Building Blueprint]


    [2nd Place: 100,000 of 3 types of Basic Resources, 10,000 of 4 types of Special Resources, 1 Advanced Treasure]


    [3rd Place: 100,000 of 3 types of Basic Resources, 10,000 of 4 types of Special Resources, 1 Intermediate Treasure]


    [4th to 10th Places: 100,000 of 3 types of Basic Resources, 10,000 of 4 types of Special


    Resources]


    "Well, might as well check the shop instead, forget about the Treasures and Building blueprints," Qin Muye knew that these things were beyond his reach; the people ahead were just too outrageous. All the Resources he had didn''t even total up to the rewards they offered. Of course, for those lords who wanted to compete in the rankings, Resources weren''t the main point; the main focus was the Treasures and Building blueprints.


    As for Qin Muye, the shop was his immediate reality, not the rewards connected to the


    rankings.


    Opening the shop, what caught his eye first were Building blueprints, and he quickly found


    what he needed.


    [Building Blueprint-Crystal Field: 1000 Points]


    [Building Blueprint Gem House: 1000 Points]


    [Building Blueprint Sulfur Field: 1000 Points]


    These three were the production buildings for Special Resources. There were also other urgently needed Building blueprints like the Market and Blacksmith, but those weren''t as expensive as the Special Resources, only costing 500 Points.


    Beyond these, there were even more extravagant Building blueprints that were out of reach for Qin Muye; he planned on securing the basic buildings first.


    As for Treasures, Troops, and other items, he had also browsed them. If he managed to secure the three Special Resource production buildings and some essential ordinary buildings, he would then purchase a Reclassification Certificate to quickly bring forth a new hero from the


    Magic Energy Spirit Monster.


    "Just not sure how Points are calculated, and then there''s the Monster Siege at noon today. Hope I can hold out," he thought.
