Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

In fact, things like lottery are about a kind of mentality.

You don’t want to be rich and powerful, but you want to have some little surprises every time. That’s enough.

Zong Shen put away the repair hammer happily, leaving it to repair the [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword] after the exchange was completed.

There are still about 10 minutes until the end of the redemption. Zong Shen can draw two more 1,000 point blind boxes. This time is more than enough.

He took advantage of the opportunity to check the detailed properties of the repair hammer and looked up at the window on the first floor.

At this time, the window was covered with a thin layer of ice, making it impossible to clearly see the situation outside.

However, Zong Shen relied on the changes in the shadows outside the window to see that the weather outside had not changed yet and was still in a stable haze period.

So he relaxed and focused his attention on the [Points Blind Box] again.

He is now thoroughly familiar with the blind box gameplay. Compared with roulette, picking blind boxes has more advantages for him.

Because there will be a second choice in the blind box, he can only screen with the guide tips, unless there are no good things in the five blind boxes.

The remaining two rounds of draws were completed quickly. In fact, the blind boxes were mostly filled with miscellaneous items.

In the last two rounds of blind box draws, Zong Shen got two more rare items.

They are a piece of rare-level equipment and a complete rare-level architectural drawing.

[Fighter’s Finger Tiger (Purple)]

[Quality: rare grade]

[Blunt damage: 61~64]

[Durability: 400]

[Attack speed: +12%]

[Skill: Punch LV20 (swinging two consecutive punches will cause 1.5 times bludgeoning damage to the target, cooling time is 30 minutes)

Shadowless Fist LV20 (increases punching speed by 50%, lasts for 10 minutes, cooling time is 2 hours)]

(The finger tiger comes from a certain female boxing fighter. It has good blunt damage, and sometimes punches can also exert unexpected power)

[Farm Tower Construction Plan (Purple)]

[Quality: Rare (Purple) Special Building]

[Requirements: Farm Tower Construction Diagram × 1]

[A complete building can be built without spending materials, please choose an area to place it]

[Occupy area: 50 square meters]

[Height: 22 meters]

[Sturdiness value: 2500]

[Building Armor: 30]

[Maximum coverage area: 1 km radius]

[Effect: Power of the farm (increases the growth speed of crops within the range by 50%, and the yield rate by 30%)

Farmland protection (reduce 50% of negative climate impacts and increase the vitality of crops)]

(Special buildings with the power of nature can effectively promote the development of farming in the territory)

Among these two rare items, the special building called [Farm Tower] is still relatively valuable, and the farming industry in the territory is always in its infancy.

The fields that were previously cultivated were destroyed by the challenges of winter.

In fact, this challenge basically froze the crops of most lords to death.

Before this, Zong Shen was not the only lord who attempted farming.

Almost 60% of the lords have cultivated land around their territories.

The seeds of those basic crops are easy to obtain and can be easily purchased whether from the indigenous people or in the [market].

After the initial conditions are met, many lords will start to try to cultivate farmland, especially the lords from China. This is almost an instinct engraved in their genes.

It is a pity that this round of winter challenges has come at the wrong time. Any creation belonging to the lord will be affected, and the budding farming plan will be strangled in the cradle.

Under the influence of the magical power of this world, there are actually many ways to improve planting efficiency.

Something like [Farm Tower] is a good way.

Zong Shen put away Zhihu for later use, and at the same time mastered the architectural drawings of the [Farm Tower].

At this point all his points have been exhausted.

This time the blind box rewards were generally pretty good.

However, judging from these results, the explosion rate of blind boxes is actually very limited.

Success is also a second choice, failure is also a second choice.

When it draws five blind boxes from the vast pool of bonus items, it's the first choice.

When these five blind boxes are placed in front of the lord for him to choose from, it is the second choice.

Zong Shen's advantage lies in the second choice.

But precisely because of this mechanism, extreme situations can easily occur.

There appear to be five blind boxes, which is four more choices than a roulette draw.

In fact, the probability of getting good things decreases instead of increasing.

Because the probability of drawing ordinary items is much greater than the probability of drawing top-quality items.

Five screenings only have a very small chance of amplifying the advantage. The greater chance is to increase the probability of picking ordinary items.

At least this round of [Points Blind Box] Zong Shen didn’t get very good items.

There are no epic-level props, and there is only one legendary-level item.

Most of them are rare and even excellent, including one whose value is still unclear [Evidence of Queen Sandina's Affair (Special)].

For Zong Shen, such a gain can only be regarded as no loss.

At least compared to the previous round of [Points Lottery].

Zong Shen general curled his lips and summed up the lottery, feeling that it was a bit confusing.

If I had known earlier, I might as well have saved my points to redeem more special props such as [Spell Scroll], [Magic Machinery], and [Summoning Mark].

After squandering all the points, the time for the temporary exchange mall to open is coming to an end.

Zong Shen once again focused on the changes in the weather outside.

"Please tell me about future weather changes."

He asked the strategy module proactively again.

Ever since he suffered a small loss from Bingyu, he had paid great attention to changes in the weather, fearing that the Lord System would come up with another "surprise".

(41 minutes later, at 1:00 p.m. sharp, there will be sleet and snow, which will last until 6:00 p.m., and then turn into light snow. The snowfall scale will increase by one notch every two hours, and finally at midnight Zero Point Becomes Blizzard

The snowstorm will continue until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. By then, the thickness of the snow will be unimaginable, and it will be more difficult to go out.

Even a loader mech would have difficulty carving a path through such thick snow and ice, but the items you recently redeemed do contain something that can cope with such a situation)

The strategy tips are not too short. It tells Zong Shen the weather for nearly 22 hours in the future.

This lord system really has a plan. Under such thick snow, sleet will quickly transform dry snow into wet snow and collapse into a less solid ice layer.

The accumulation of ice and snow on the ground will further increase, which is by no means a good sign.

After the sleet, there will be increasing snowfall until it turns into a long-lasting snowstorm.

It snowed continuously for more than ten hours, and Zong Shen could hardly imagine how thick the snow would become.

It is now more than forty minutes before one o'clock, and the soldiers have all returned to the living area.

That's enough time for Howie and Doris to take the men to clear the snow off the roof.

At present, most of the living areas are composed of second-story wooden houses and third-story stone houses.

Under the effect of [Artisan Divine Will], the solidity value of all territorial buildings is increased by 1500 points.

For those houses, this is almost equivalent to an additional 5 times the solidity value, reaching 1800 points.

The third-level stone house initially had a solidity value of 800 points, and after increasing by 1,500 points, it became a solidity value of 2,300 points.

This strength should be enough to withstand the weight of snow, and the biggest threat is not the snow but the thick frozen ice.

The roof of a house has a slope. When the snow accumulates to a certain extent, it will slide in the direction of the slope.

However, the necessary snow removal is still worth doing. Zong Shen is also afraid that the farmers and idle soldiers will get bored and get into trouble.

Let them warm up and solve a small hidden danger.

The weather is minus 30 degrees Celsius. Even if you are wearing a sheepskin jacket, you will be attacked by the cold if you stay for a long time.

Even the hunting team led by Zong Shen and Doris did not dare to stay outside for too long.

Every time you fight for two hours continuously, you need to take a short rest.

After being out for four to five hours at most, you have to return to the territory.

Because as time goes by when you are active in the outside world, the negative effects of cold will become extremely terrifying.

Zong Shen could not avoid such an impact. Every time he returned, Zong Shen could feel the biting cold torturing his body.

You must know that his physique is far better than that of ordinary warriors, and he is also wearing an excellent-quality bearskin coat.

Even he felt so uncomfortable, let alone those ordinary soldiers.

Thinking of the cold when he went out, Zong Shen couldn't help clenching his fists and flexing his palms.

Most of the crossbow shooters in the team suffered from frostbite and cracking of their hands.

Therefore, hunting is not without cost. Obtaining points for the Winter Challenge is more difficult than the Crypt Challenge.

Every battle is a test for the soldiers under his command, both physically and mentally.

The problem of hand lacerations is easy to solve. There is a lot of butter and mutton oil left over from slaughtering cattle and sheep in the territory. These oils are very greasy and can be used as a simple hand cream after simple processing.

It can effectively alleviate the problem of frozen hands and reduce the pain of shooters.

The cruelty of the winter period was actually beyond Zong Shen's imagination. It was just because of the strength of the territory that they had stronger tolerance and ability to withstand pressure.

After thinking about the debris in the territory, Zong Shen began to prepare to complete a major event.

That is to repair the [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword]!

He flicked his wrist and took out a small metal hammer, which was the [Equipment Repair Hammer (Orange)] that he had previously extracted from the blind box.

I don’t know to what extent the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword can be repaired with 500 points of solidity value.

Holding the repair hammer in one hand, he took out the [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword] from the storage compartment with the other hand.

The huge sword body is extremely oppressive, and the thick hilt, which is dozens of centimeters long, allows people to hold the weapon with both hands.

The only flaw is that a small part of the blade is broken, making this mighty two-handed sword look a bit nondescript.

Including the tens of centimeters of extended sword hilt, the length of the whole sword in the middle is only about one meter and two meters.

The length of an ordinary two-handed sword is about 1.6 meters. A powerful heavy sword like the Dragon-Slaying Epee, which may be an epic weapon when in good condition, can reach at least 1.8 to 2 meters in length.

You must know that the powerful warriors in this world are not measured by the standards of the earth, whether in strength or size.

As a warrior who can slay dragons, it is normal to hold a huge and heavy weapon, so Zong Shen has never looked at weapons in this world the same way he looks at cold weapons on earth.

Just like the [Broken Disaster Spear] he snatched from Spider Web Monster Lord Leopold in the mine, the broken part alone was three meters long, and the intact part was more than five meters long.

Although this thing is the weapon of the former troll chief, in fact, even if the size does not match, Zong Shen can easily wield this war spear.

Therefore, Zong Shen is still looking forward to the [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword] in perfect condition.

The dragon-slaying battle back then was obviously extremely fierce, which caused the strong sword body to break, and every inch except the hilt was covered with cracks.

Zong Shen looked at the Dragon Slayer Sword carefully, because the battle during this period had reduced its durability a lot, and the cracks became more obvious.

The current dragon-slaying sword only has 93 points of durability left, and Zong Shen has been reluctant to use it for this period of time.

He gently stroked the sword body with the hand holding the hammer, feeling the uneven texture on it.

Start by choosing to use [Equipment Repair Hammer (orange)] and select [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword] as the repair target.

Just after he confirmed it, the repair hammer in his hand turned into a silver-white stream of light and came out, completely wrapping the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword.

It is almost visible to the naked eye that the length of the sword body has increased by twenty or thirty centimeters.

Zong Shen could feel that the heavy sword in his hand became heavier than before.

The restoration process is very strange, but Zong Shen doesn't know the principle of its restoration.

I don’t know if it’s the magic power or the power of the lord system.

Zong Shen personally prefers the latter. Such props cannot be created by aborigines at all.

It cannot be explained by magic or magical power.

After more than ten seconds passed, the silver-white light was completely absorbed by the epee.

The length of the dragon-slaying heavy sword in his hand increased to 1.6 meters, but unfortunately a part of it was still missing.

Half of the cracks on the sword have been repaired, and some of the rust stains and stains on the surface have also been removed, making the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword's appearance even more intimidating.

The clean sword body is silver-gray, reflecting a faint matte light. The sharp blade is flashed with silver light from time to time, as if it can chop everything.

From the current state of the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword, you can almost get a glimpse of its majestic appearance when it was intact.

Of course, the repaired Dragon-Slaying Sword has changed more than just its appearance.

Its attributes have also been significantly improved!
