Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Zong Shen did not continue to show off to the two of them.

No amount of words can be as convincing as actions.

He took out two [Complete Purple Souls] and two [Hero Crests] and placed them in front of Farvid and Colby respectively.

The two of them couldn't help but look at the [Hero Crest] in front of their respective tables, and they burst into indescribable expressions.

The appearance of each coat of arms represents an opportunity to become a heroic talent.

Not to mention complete souls, which can directly improve their qualifications and make the two of them rare talents.

This was not the end, Zong Shen then took out another fourth-level advanced book.

Place them in front of them respectively.

The promotion process for Colby and Farvid is already clear.

Zong Shen did everything right for them.

Either it doesn’t convert, or it’s done in one step.

They must first use their souls to upgrade their qualifications to a rare level, then use an advancement book to become a fourth-level warrior, and finally use a coat of arms to transform into a heroic level talent.

"Use the soul and the advancement book, and become a hero."

"Of course, before that, you'd better take off your equipment and clothes."

"In this way, you can get an additional set of fourth-level standard equipment."

"The original rare equipment still belongs to you."

"You can complete the advancement in the living room."

Zong Shen explained briefly and pointed to the living room not far away.

Colby stood up first, left the table, came to the long table and knelt down on one knee.

"Thank you for your cultivation!"

Farvid's was a little slower, as his injuries had just recovered.

Still actively participated in the two days of Balrog crusade.

He can also be regarded as the gentlest mage among the territorial mage troops.

I saw him coming to Colby's side and kneeling down on one knee as well.

"Thank you sir, Farvid will never let you down."

Looking at Colby and Favid who sincerely knelt down and saluted him, Zong Shen showed an expression of relief on his face.

These two can be regarded as model workers among the warriors in the territory, and they are both "old" citizens who followed him not long after he arrived.

Zong Shen has always believed that loyalty and character should trump qualifications and abilities.

Now they finally get a chance to advance.

The Wolf Rider Commander and the Mage Troop Commander are being developed.

After becoming a hero, Colby can legitimately command the Wolf Cavalry troops.

As for Favid, he will be in charge of the mage army, and Doris will be his deputy.

The calm Farvid can follow his instructions perfectly, and the aggressive Doris will make up for his lack of command.

In the short term, he and Doris, working together with the mage troops, will be able to meet the needs of the territory.

Of course, when the size of the mage army further expands in the future, Zong Shen may also promote some of the gods' favored ones.

"Okay, let's get ready to advance."

"It's going to be noon soon, and we have to assemble by then."

Zong Shen urged with a smile.

The two quickly stood up, walked to the living room, and slowly took off their equipment and clothes, revealing their naked bodies.

Colby has a strong body and his muscles are clearly visible.

Farvid is much thinner, but his body is still healthy and well-proportioned.

At this moment, the physical difference between warriors and mages was clearly exposed.

Zong Shen's eyes showed no intention of avoiding anything.

Men who are honest with each other are good brothers.

After taking off all their clothes, the two of them used [Complete Purple Soul].

The two groups of souls turned into two groups of purple light and disappeared into their chests.

A purple halo flashed outside the body.

Their qualifications changed from excellent to rare.

Each qualification upgrade can improve basic attributes by approximately ?.

In this way, after advancing to the fourth-level professional warrior, the attribute improvements obtained will be higher.

The qualification improvement was quickly completed, and the two of them held their respective advancement books.

Zong Shen was not in the mood to continue looking at the two naked men.

He turned around and checked the time in the system.

It was already past 11:40 in the morning.

There are still ten minutes left until twelve o'clock noon.

After both Colby and Farverd have transformed into heroic talents, it's almost time to go out.

Thinking of this, he took out the communication crystal and contacted Luna and Doris.

For the time being, let's summon the wolf cavalry and long-range troops according to the mode we clicked yesterday.

After Zong Shen hung up the communication, Favid and Colby were already surrounded by light cocoons of different colors.

This process should last approximately three to five minutes, no less than the time and process required after recruitment.

At this time, a tall figure suddenly appeared outside the fortress gate.

The jet-black alien metal armor does not reflect any light in the sun.

It just made the light in the fortress suddenly dim.

The person who came was none other than Arbiter Blood Wolf Gurgat who went to the [Comprehensive Training Ground] for training in the morning.

I don’t know what this guy found in the training ground, and he actually stayed there from morning until now.

It was wearing a battle armor, and the red light on the helmet lens was very bright, and it walked slowly to Zong Shen's side.

"How's it going? Is the training ground nice?"

Zong Shen asked with a smile.

The blood wolf Gugat standing behind him said in a calm tone.

"It was indeed a very interesting training."

"It's just that the warriors in this world are weaker than I thought."

After listening to Gujiat's words, Zong Shen immediately imagined a strange scene of a Predator fighting an alien warrior.

Good guy, Gugat shouldn't have beaten up all the warriors in the territory, right?

Its power is as high as 148 points, and almost no warrior in the territory can control it.

Not to mention that as an arbiter, Gurgat himself possesses extremely skilled fighting skills, and even wears an alien armor with amazing defense and comprehensive functions.

If it were a duel in the territory, no one could beat it except Zong himself.

But this guy should have held back, otherwise Luna and Doris would have reported the injured soldiers to themselves.

Regarding its understatement and slightly Versailles words, Zong Shen's mouth twitched, and finally he just nodded.

You can't encourage it to just go to the [Comprehensive Training Ground] and "go on a killing spree" when nothing happens, right?

But to be honest, the special fighting skills that Gurgat has mastered are enough to serve as an instructor in the territory.

Although Endless Continent is biased towards a magical world, and the dimension where Predator is located is obviously a science fiction world, there are definitely similarities in fighting skills.

There is a classic saying: "Martial skills are killing skills."

The fighting routines are different, but the purpose is the same.

Zong Shen clenched his chin, thinking about how to further utilize the Predator's strengths.

Just being your own bodyguard is a bit humiliating.

Just when he was considering whether to let Gugat work part-time as an instructor.

The advancement of Colby and Farvid in the living room has also been completed.

As the light cocoon dissipated, a new set of equipment appeared on their bodies.

At the same time, the warg left outside the fortress by Caul also let out a loud howl.

The upgrade of the Wolf Cavalry affects both the Cavalry and the Warg.

Now his warg has also advanced to become a fourth-level fanged giant wolf.

It has a larger size, higher attributes, and more ferocious attack capabilities than the third-level giant wolf.

Favid put on the [Smart Magic Beret (Purple)] again and grabbed the [Theseus' Killing Staff (Purple)], which were rare equipment that belonged to him.

Although the standard equipment of the fourth-level intermediate mage is good, it is still half a level worse than the rare-level equipment, not to mention that [The Killing Staff of Theseus] also comes with the powerful skill of killing call.

As for Colby's equipment, it is relatively simple. There is only one accessory equipment [Heart of Elementary Power] which was a reward from Zong Shen.

After being dressed neatly, they came to Zong Shen and bowed before Zong Shen holding their equipment in both hands.

Zong Shen also stood up from his seat and reached out his hand to put away the equipment they had replaced.

It is a good choice to keep these equipment to enrich the inventory of the territory or to sell them for sale.

In short, it will definitely not be wasted.

"Let's go to the open space outside to receive the hero transformation."

Zong Shen looked at the two of them with a smile, and then took the lead to walk outside the fortress.

The blood wolf Gugat followed closely behind.

Colby and Farvid followed side by side at the end of the line.

They walked down the steps down the fortress and walked straight to the open space outside the tower.

The weather today is as clear as ever.

Thanks to Zong Shen completing two breakthrough events in succession, the temperature dropped twice in succession.

From the original 45℃ to a constant 25℃.

Of course, such changes are limited to this region.

Because of this, this round of heat wave challenge is somewhat unworthy of the name for Zong Shen.

It could have been renamed "Heat Wave Vacation".

When they came to the open space, Favid and Colby took out the [Hero Emblem] and chose to use it.

Suddenly the floating white clouds in the sky were dispersed.

Two adjacent light pillars were directly projected down, reflecting on Favid and Colby respectively. The two light pillars were condensed and connected to their bodies from the sky like entities.

This is not the first time Zong Shen has witnessed the process of hero transformation.

Such a spectacular vision can be seen by people dozens of kilometers away.

Fortunately, the conversion process did not last long.

After more than ten seconds, the two beams of light became fainter.

The change is like changing from a solid body to a gas.

Finally it disappeared completely, leaving no trace left.

On the spot, Favid and Colby slowly turned their heads and actually looked at each other in tacit understanding.

Their appearance has not changed at all, but their temperament is completely different from before.

Their bright eyes made them look more calm.

The strange phenomenon caused by the hero's transformation just now also attracted the attention of the blood wolf Gugat.

It was thinking silently, but didn't say much.

As an arbiter, it has seen countless alien life forms.

Both mental and psychological endurance are much stronger than normal people.

Even after it has been magically modified by the lord system, it does not completely believe in the information instilled in the subconscious, and still maintains the habit of independent thinking.

After the transformation, Favid and Colby immediately moved forward, knelt down on one knee in front of Zong Shen.

At this moment, their mood is exciting.

From Zong Shen's perspective, he could clearly observe the two men's slightly shaking shoulders.

From now on, there will be two more fighting hero-level talents in the territory!

Zong Shen had a smile on his face as he watched the loyal warriors following him grow stronger.

He also has an indescribable sense of accomplishment and pride.

From a certain perspective, the growth of Farvid and Colby is also a microcosm of the development of the territory.

His eyes focused on Colby first, and his detailed attributes after becoming a hero immediately appeared in front of him.

This is an essential part for every new hero.

As for the heroes selected from the refugees, or the low-qualified heroes inherited from the indigenous forces and unclaimed territories, he didn't bother to check.

But Colby and Farvid are different. They are both heroes trained by Zong Shen himself.

They are also the future commander talents of the territory.

The meaning of their identity is completely different from that of other Aboriginal heroes.

Zong Shen calmed down and looked at Colby's attributes intently.

[Hero: Colby (Purple)]

[Qualification: Rare]

[Race: Human Wild Wolf Clan]

[Level: LV17]

[Experience value: 492812810]

[Hunger and satiety level: 85]

[Health value: 745]

【Number of people under control: 038】

【Strength: 63】

[Agility: 27]

【Wisdom: 18】

[Charm: 18]

[Remaining assignable attribute points: 0]

[Remaining allocable skill points: 5]

[Remaining assignable weapon proficiency: 0]

[Detailed attributes: (Click to expand)]

[Weapon Proficiency: (Click to expand)]

[Hero skills: (click to expand)]

[Lord level passive skills: (Click to expand)]

【Loyalty: 100】

This attribute has been improved a lot compared to the original.

The improvement alone is almost comparable to the original Luna.

Thanks to the enhancement of qualifications - level promotion - hero transformation, the attribute improvements given by this series of processes have transformed Colby.

Zong Shen opened Colby's [Hero Skills] as usual, preparing to see what Colby's innate abilities were.

[Passive skill: Son of the Grassland (allows the team to increase the movement speed by 10% in the grassland terrain)

Perseverance (when a single damage exceeds 25% of the upper limit of health, you will enter the state of perseverance and gain a shield equal to the lost health value. This skill can only be triggered once every 12 hours)]

Colby's hero skills tend to enhance mobility, which is a bit like a weakened version of Luna [Sentinel]'s passive.

Luna's [Sentinel] can increase the movement speed of all fellow warriors by 10%.

The Corby was only effective on grassland terrain.

Next, Zong Shen turned on Colby's [Lord Level Passive Skill].

Among them, the strength system's [Strong Attack] reached level 2, the agility system's [Riding] reached level 4, the wisdom system was blank, and the charm system's [Control] reached level 2.

This can explain why Colby's initial dominance value reached 38 points.

18 points come from [Charm] and 20 points come from [Domination] skill.

Now that he still has 5 skill points to allocate, Zong Shen is not prepared to interfere and lets him make his own decision.

After becoming an influence, they can access the property panel more independently and know more hidden secrets.

There are currently many soldiers and generals in the territory, so Zong Shen naturally does not need to control the details.

It is also necessary to give heroic talents a certain degree of autonomy.

The same is true in terms of control. The current control value in the territory is completely sufficient.

There is actually not much difference between direct control and indirect control.

No matter which way you look at it, [Domination Value] is more like a quota.

Territory citizens included in the [Commandation Value] can enter the lord system.

Regardless of direct or indirect rule, all the people in the territory still have Zong Shen as the core of power.

Lords always have the highest priority in their own territory.

The hero is the power frame going down.

Later, Corbill can add points based on his own strengths and preferences.

After checking the changes in Colby's attributes, Zong Shen was about to turn his attention to Favid.

Luna and Doris came to the central area with long-range warriors and wolf cavalry.

One after another, everyone came to the open space outside the Lord's Fortress to assemble.

Colby and Farvid did not receive Zong Shen's instructions and still kept kneeling on one knee.

At this moment, white light filled Zong Shen's vision.

Everything in the world suddenly came to a standstill.

It’s twelve o’clock noon!

The time-stop status is as punctual as ever.

Zong Shen has experienced it several times and has long been accustomed to this wonderful feeling.

The white light faded slowly like a curtain.

Lines of golden announcements appeared in front of Zong Shen's eyes.

[The heat wave challenge has been ongoing for 48 hours]

[Comprehensive consideration of the comprehensive performance of all lords in this heat wave challenge]

[There will be phased adjustments below]

[The Balrog Crusade is cancelled]

[All lords will be compensated with an adjustment of 500 points]

[The new challenge content is the heat wave treasure collection activity]

[Content details will be announced globally in five minutes]

[This timeout will end in 30 seconds]

Zong Shen's eyes quickly scanned the announcement prompts from top to bottom.

Obviously, the lord system cannot afford to play this time!

He once again changed the content of the challenge and gave all the lords an additional 500 points as compensation. Such compensation was insincere to Zong Shen.

However, on the scale of the lord base of several billion, it can be considered that the lord system has made concessions.

Fortunately, Zong Shen was somewhat mentally prepared.

He defeated the Balrog BOSS twice in a row in different arrogant ways.

If he were the lord of the system, he would definitely not be able to continue the Balrog crusade.

After all, Zong Shen now knows that the lord system can only carry out limited interference. Similar to the Balrog that Zong Shen ultimately killed with his own abilities and background, it cannot erase its influence.

As the saying goes, there are only three things to do, and the safest solution is to change the challenge content.

He can be regarded as a madman who single-handedly stepped on the bottom line of the rules of the lord system and fucked like crazy!

"I didn't expect that the wool of the lord system would make me bald..."

Zong Shen sighed in his heart and waited patiently for Shi Ting to end.
