Chapter 85: Chapter 1: Second Ranking Settlement (Please Subscribe!)
[Cycle Challenge—Cold Disaster (Prelude): An unknown force has impacted the world, with the cold starting from Antarctica and sweeping across the globe, the temperature will gradually decrease within a week]
[Notice: During this week, survival points will be earned based on the living conditions within the territory and the territory’s construction. When survival points reach a certain level, corresponding rewards will be unlocked. Calculations are done daily at noon, with the survival points leaderboard opening, offering extra rewards based on rankings]
[Notice: Cycle challenges will continue to launch different weekly challenges according to the severity of the cold disaster, continuing until the cold disaster ends]
[Current temperature: 16 degrees, current number of units in the territory: 428, current survival points: 0]
In addition to these notifications on the panel, Bai Yi also received a detailed breakdown regarding the acquisition of points.
Ju was still explaining to Nong Si, and Bai Yi thought it was not appropriate to take out the rewards now, so she simply opened the details.
As Bai Yi had guessed, the basic scoring standard was based on the quality of life of the units in the territory.
In addition to this, the number of buildings in the territory and new constructions also add to the survival points.
Bai Yi also noticed a description stating that in addition to buildings combating the cold disaster providing ongoing points.
During this week’s cycle challenge, buildings not constructed from blueprints can also count towards survival points, and upon completion, their blueprints will be "compiled" by the game.
As long as they pass the game’s evaluation, they not only receive a small bonus based on rarity but also gain a one-time point boost.
Regardless of whether these buildings played a role in combating the cold disaster.
This turn of events is favorable as even if she opens an instance, the territory can still earn some points by constructing small buildings.
As for the quality of life, Bai Yi is not worried; the Swarm has no complaints and the remaining few humans are well provided for in terms of food and drink.
There’s also an abundant supply of fuel, not considering any future inability to collect dry branches outside due to weather, there are already fifteen thousand units of wood in the panel.
As long as she manages to make some fur coats to ensure warmth, the points in this aspect are safely guaranteed.
However, even so, Bai Yi does not plan to alter her original strategy.
"Later, take out all the rewards and arrange the affairs of the territory, then start the instance as soon as possible!"
With a plan set in her mind, Bai Yi opened today’s leaderboard, and the calculations immediately popped up on the panel.
[Leaderboard calculations completed, last week, you achieved: 1st in Territory Ranking, 2nd in Comprehensive Combat Power Ranking, 4th in Personal Combat Power Ranking]
[Based on your rankings last week, you have received: 1 Directional Advanced Building Blueprints, 3 Random Resource Building Blueprint Packs, 1 Random Job Transfer Certificate, 10,000 Basic Resources Self-selection (2nd tier), 150 Advanced Resources Self-selection (2nd tier). Please continue your efforts, Lord]
[The second phase of Territory Ranking starts, leaderboard system has been updated, new survival points leaderboard added, current ranking: none]
"My ranking has actually jumped a few positions again?"
Bai Yi hasn’t checked the leaderboards for a long time since reaching such a rank meant dealing with formidable opponents.
It’s not easy to surpass them.
Rather than staring at a stagnant leaderboard and growing anxious, she might as well not look at it at all.
After glancing through the three leaderboards, the evaluation for the territory ranking was 2nd tier gold, followed by Jun Lin in second place with 2nd tier purple.
Yet, the rating for the Comprehensive Combat Power Ranking is elevated, reaching 3rd tier white.
Bai Yi believes this could be due to Ju boosting her rating, only because the main combat force in her territory, the needle erosion insects, are only at 2nd-tier gold, and their number has even reached over two thousand four hundred, diluting the rating.
However, the reproduction of the needle erosion insects has now been halted by Bai Yi; otherwise, their numbers could have broken five thousand in a few more days.
According to Ju, her needle erosion insects’ range of activity is about to encounter another Beast King.
It’s likely that the other party would concede the territory to Bai Yi out of respect for the Tree King, but since Ju mentioned that the Beast King’s ability is quite abnormal, she advised Bai Yi not to contact him so soon.
At least not until Bai Yi stacks her Spirit Resistance to over six hundred through Swarm Consciousness for safety.
With the current output of tree fruits in this area, they can only support about three thousand needle erosion insects under normal development.
Bai Yi doesn’t intend to push it to the limit causing the banyan forest to operate at full capacity, so she temporarily fixed the number of the Swarm.
Planning to increase it once the Swarm’s food issues are resolved in the future.
And ahead of Bai Yi is the indisputable Corpse King, also boasting 3rd tier white strength.
It seems the Corpse King has found a way to control high-tier units, possibly by converting a high-tier zombie using the Hero Conversion Certificate?
Tsk, controlling zombies indeed seems too overpowering in a zombie-apocalypse world.
Nonetheless, Bai Yi is confident that after accumulating through this instance, she can advance to 3rd-tier, and soon break into 3rd tier gold with the ability of the needle erosion insects.
Even by leveraging the combat power enhancement of the orange cat, Bai Yi managed to pull the rating up to Level 4 White, overwhelmingly taking first place on the Comprehensive Combat Power Ranking.
As for the Personal Combat Power Ranking, the three ahead of Bai Yi were Iron Blood, Jun Lin, and an Anonymous Lord.
Including her, all were uniformly evaluated at Level 2 Gold.
Her combat power was purely achieved through the feedback from Swarm Consciousness combined with equipment bonuses.
Ever since the population of needle erosion insects broke a thousand, the third stage of Swarm Consciousness was unlocked, and the Spirit Attribute correction of the swarm had reached 400 points.
At the same time, it could also provide Bai Yi with a spiritual judgment value of 400, making her second to none in Spirit Defense.
Moreover, on the other side, due to the increasing number of swarms, her skill [I Am the Swarm] also brought enhancements to Bai Yi.
I Am the Swarm lv.10 (Gold): Can freely control [Insect Swarm] units, with a maximum range of 10 kilometers. For every 10 swarm units in the range, obtain 2 points of spiritual damage immunity, gain an additional +2 to spiritual judgment values during spiritual judgments, and for every 100 swarm units, Spirit Attribute +2
Current correction: Spirit +48, Spiritual Judgment Value +480, Spirit Immunity +480
Though these are not inherent spirit values attached to her entity, which cannot be used to convert the Magic Power Value limit.
However, it could be converted into the spiritual values consumed by Spiritual Strong Thought, a whopping 1600 points of spiritual value, combined with Spiritual Strong Thought could produce a total output of 4000 points.
Most of her combat power judgment comes from here.
This also allows for a rough estimation of how strong those lords stronger than her really are.
Bai Yi guessed that Iron Blood and the Anonymous Lord probably awakened powerful superpowers in Attack Power to maintain such high combat power.
But Jun Lin...
She couldn’t understand; Jun Lin should possess a Lord Talent similar to a craftsman, how could he possibly stack up such high personal combat power?
Could it be still relying on various equipment enhancements for combat power levels?
However, Bai Yi didn’t continue to ponder further, she noticed that Ju’s class had ended.
With Ju’s Teleportation back to the giant banyan, Bai Yi couldn’t wait to take out all the rewards of the day.
A total of 4 random card packs, using her old moves, she flipped out a gold card, and the panel prompted.
[You used Random Resource Building Blueprint Pack*3, Random Job Transfer Certificate*1, you obtained Silver Altar Building Blueprint*1, Salt Crystal Altar Building Blueprint*1, Saltpetre Altar Building Blueprint*1, Seeker Scholar Appointment Certificate*1]
"Just as expected, more altars! And the outputs are quite decent.
Silver might perhaps be used as currency at some time, and salt is also a solid commodity.
While saltpetre can not only be used to make gunpowder but also to produce ice.
emmmm...
Although it’s still unclear how exactly the production of ice works, it probably won’t be useful for a while now."
Bai Yi shook her head somewhat helplessly, as in a few days, ice would probably be everywhere unless after the cold disaster there’ll be a heatwave; otherwise, the use of saltpetre for ice production might be highly unlikely.
Taking out the last Directional Advanced Building Blueprints Pack, its direction was not as detailed as Bai Yi thought, only generally divided into production-type building, resource building, defense-type building, and attack-type building four kinds.
She first ruled out the defense type and attack type, so it was a choice between production type and resource building.
Having already obtained several altars just now, she chose the production type this time.
[You used Directional Advanced Building Blueprints Pack, you obtained Bakery Building Blueprint*1]
"Hiss... pity, it came too early."
It’s not that this blueprint isn’t good, but Bai Yi currently doesn’t have wheat, nor does she know if bread baked from rice flour would be tasty...
"Hm, hopefully this time the instance can bring back some common crops, and after the cold disaster passes, start cultivating the small plains to the south."
After lunch, Zhan Yi was preparing to take the upgraded 3.0 version skeletons to deposit at the entrance of the mountain cave, Bai Yi also took Ju over for a trip.
The altars obtained today all require hard labor for mining, and placing them in the mountain cave couldn’t be better.
Last time, the maximum distance for the altars was also calculated, so this time a few more of the same type of altars could be built.
Moreover, there is still an unused Territory Expansion Voucher, and that area of the cave could officially be converted into part of the territory.
"It’s just right that those skeletons are mostly idle most of the time during the day, this can also be considered enriching their lives."
