End of the novice period

[The 7-day novice period is over, and the "Lord Era" has been updated. This update is as follows:]

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

[2: Removing rule that wild monsters will only stay in one place]

[3: The difficulty of dungeons, wild monsters, etc. has increased]

[4: The probability of aboriginals appearing increases]

[Please note: Chosen lord rankings and weekly events have been opened]

Qin Muye saw the short update and the lack of a protective shield around his mage tower territory, which made Qin Muye understand that cruelty had officially begun.

Either they adapt or die, so the remaining 27 days is called the adaptation period.

First of all, the first update has led to the fact that basic resources, scattered resources and various treasures cannot be obtained by picking up, which makes the situation of all chosen lords more difficult. They can only rely on resource buildings or collect them themselves by fighting hard in the future.

The second update is that the wild monsters are no longer stupid and stay in one place, they can roam everywhere. In addition, there is no newbie period, so lords will be easily attacked by wild monsters.

During the adaptation period, the wild monsters would not take the initiative to attack the lord's territory, but it didn't mean that they would not attack the lord who went out to hunt and gather. This further strengthened Qin Muye's idea of ​​not going out if he didn't need to.

This is linked to the third update, and in Qin Muye's eyes, the biggest crisis should be the fourth update, which means that the lords are about to have a deeper intersection with the aborigines of this magical continent. This is an opportunity, but also a huge danger.

The person is good or bad, who knows what type of aboriginal person he first came into contact with?

The rest are the unexpected leaderboards, as well as weekly events, where games and reality are intertwined, making Qin Muye feel in a trance.

Then open the lord leaderboard to see what's going on.

[The lord opens the leaderboard for the first time, please enter the lord code]

"It's quite human." Qin Muye couldn't help but smile, and after thinking for a while, he typed in the words '***'.

That's right, three harmonized asterisks.

[1st place: True Dragon Emperor, Territory: Sacred Dragon's Nest, Comprehensive Strength: Tier 2 Champion]

[2nd place: Demon Slayer, Territory: Temple of Sin, Comprehensive Strength: Tier 2 Champion]

[3rd place: Dead Gentleman, Territory: Hades Temple, Comprehensive Strength: Tier 2 Champion]

[…]

[No. 267: ***, Territory: Mage Tower, Comprehensive Strength: Tier 1 Elite]

[…]

[No. 561: Wang Sangou, Territory: Small Village (Damage), Comprehensive Strength: Tier 0]

"Damn it, you must be a little too explosive..."

Qin Muye looked at the top three in the lord ranking. Is this the strength that a normal person can achieve?

The top 100 are all at Tier 2, and the bottom 100 to 200 have Tier 1 champion strength. When it came to Qin Muye, only Tier 1 elites strength, and beyond the 400th position, the strength became Tier 0.

The most ridiculous thing is that the territories of these people are taller than the other, and his little mage tower is no match at all.

"However, only 561 of the 1,000 people are left. Even with a 7-day novice protection period, there is still a mortality rate of nearly 50%."

If Qin Muye hadn't found another way, now he would either have become one of the 439 lords who died, or he would have been ranked at the bottom of the list.

Speaking of which, before he came to this "Era of Lords", he had already traveled through it once, and when he had traveled through this ancient world, a meteorite hit here.

And judging from these names, it's not just him, all the ancient people of the whole world he is in have been pulled over,

"I didn't expect that me, a dignified transmigrator was actually hanged and beaten by a group of ancients. I really can't underestimate the people of the world."

Although he has such a hero as Demon Blood, the initial units of the lords in front of him are definitely much stronger than his spirit monsters.

With the initial advantages, coupled with the impressive ability, they can definitely rise rapidly.

What's more important is talent. Qin Muye's talent doesn't have any direct increase in territory, battle, management, etc., so it's naturally a step by step.

The ancients are not fools, and their abilities are no worse than those of modern people.

After closing the leaderboard, Qin Muye felt that his pressure was increasing.

Then, naturally, the weekly activities panel was opened, and his heart was even cooler after reading it.

[Event of the Week: Monster Siege]

[There will be a wave of wild monsters attacking the city at 12 noon every day. After killing wild monsters, you will get rich rewards and points. The remaining time for today's siege: 11:56]

[Please note: The strength of wild monsters will gradually increase with the number of attacks. The stronger the strength of wild monsters, the richer the rewards.]

[Points: Can be used in the point store to exchange for resources, architectural drawings, treasures, transfer certificates, etc.]

[This time, the monster siege will start the killing competition, and the average speed of seven times will be taken as the final score]

[1st place: 3 basic resources × 100,000, 4 special resources × 10,000, high-level treasures × 1, rare architectural drawings × 1]

[2nd place: 3 kinds of basic resources × 100,000, 4 kinds of special resources × 10,000, high-level treasure × 1]

[3rd place: 3 basic resources × 100,000, 4 special resources × 10,000, intermediate treasure × 1]

[Rank 4~10: 3 basic resources × 100,000, 4 special resources × 10,000]

"Okay, let's just look at the store honestly, forget about the treasures and architectural drawings." Qin Muye knew that these things were not something he could covet. Those people in front of him were too outrageous. There is no reward for him. Of course, for these lords who want to compete for ranking, resources are not the focus, the focus is on treasures and architectural drawings.

So for Qin Muye, the store was the immediate reality, not the ranking reward.

Opening the store, he was greeted with architectural drawings, and he quickly found what he needed.

[Architectural Drawings Crystal Field: 1000 Points]

[Architectural Drawing Gem House: 1000 Points]

[Architectural Drawings Sulphur Field: 1000 Points]

These three are the production buildings of special resources, and then there are architectural blueprints such as the market, blacksmith shop, etc. that he desperately needs, but they are not as expensive as special resources, and only 500 points are needed.

In addition, there are some more exaggerated architectural drawings, but these are something Qin Muye couldn't get, so he will try to buy all the basic buildings.

As for treasures, arms, and even others, he also looked at it. If he could buy all three special resource production buildings and some ordinary buildings that he felt necessary, he would buy a transfer certificate, so that more spirits give birth to heroes.

"I just don't know how the points are calculated, and the monster attacking the city at noon today, I hope I can handle it."
