Chapter 606 412: The Uneventful First Tier, Snip Snip [Subscription Requested]
The long-awaited sunlight shone down on the earth through the thin clouds.
The changes between light and dark were extremely noticeable.
This made the previously oppressive winter atmosphere a little more relaxed and lively.
Zong Shen turned his head around, preparing to check out the [Channel].
He hadn't "watered" the [Channel] in a long time.
Because he simply didn't have the time usually.
Only during opportunities like the first phase of the Frosty Winter Challenge did he have some free time,
so he first opened the [World Channel].
The updates here were as terrifying as always.
Although everyone could only send one message per day.
But even if only a billion people sent messages, then on average, 11,574 messages would refresh every second.
Of course, this was just a hypothetical average value.
There was definitely a large fluctuation range specified.
Sometimes the updates were faster, sometimes slower.
Although you could choose to freeze and view the [World Channel].
Zong Shen scanned it with patience, feeling a bit disappointed.
After this period of development, fewer people were bragging on the [World Channel].
More people were using it as a place to advertise.
Zong Shen searched for a while, his eyes seeing double, but he didn't see any interesting messages.
Feeling a bit disheartened, he closed the [World Channel] with some disinterest.
He opened the [Familial Channel] and sent a few messages to Zong Ze.
He inquired about his recent situation.
Since the day the Burrow Challenge ended, after Zong Ze sent the news of fusing the Heart of the Holy Spirit,
the two brothers hadn't messaged each other.
This time, Zong Shen waited for several minutes, but still didn't get a reply.
The bratty little brother had eventually grown up.
In the [Familial Channel], in the sidebar contact list, under the notes for his parents' information.
The arrival time changed from 180 days to 166 days 20 hours 38 minutes.
There were still more than five months left.
By the time their parents arrived, it was expected that the two brothers would already have a decent foundation.
It seemed there would be a third batch of arrivals after the second batch.
Currently, it was divided according to age groups.
Zong Shen dared not imagine what Earth would become having lost so many young and strong individuals under the age of 40.
And those babies crying for food, unable to care for themselves, the disabled, the critically ill, and the elderly,
what would become of them?
Would they arrive as well?
If these people did arrive, then according to the Lord System's style.
There would definitely be a balancing setting.
Zong Shen was clueless about all this.
He did not dare think about it, nor could he imagine it.
The only thing he could do now was to live well himself and strive to develop and grow stronger.
In just a few short days, Earth had turned into a strange world for the Lords.
They, as the first batch of Descenders.
Were all under the age of forty-five, and could be considered the backbone of Earth's population.
As the first batch of Descenders, they were more like pioneers and pathfinders.
Zong Shen smirked and pushed these heavy thoughts away.
After closing the [Familial Channel], he chose to open the [Regional Channel].
After all, the most interesting was the [Regional Channel].
He hadn't paid attention to it for a while.
Seeing the survivor count in the upper right corner of the [Channel] turn to 7,427 people.
The overall casualty numbers had become much more moderate since the end of the Burrow Challenge.
This survival rate was not high, but not exactly brutal either.
At least it was more merciful than an apocalyptic disaster.
"Li Chen1994822: The Frosty Winter Challenge is way too peaceful."
"Fred Felix1991413: I miss foie gras, miss roasted turkey; this kind of snow reminds me of the time ten years ago when I went to Lapland for a vacation with my grandparents."
"Shinagawa Yuusuke1997921: Skoi! This heavy snow is so atmospheric, reminding me of the cherry blossoms in my hometown..."
"Wang Dajun19901129: The first phase of the Frosty Winter Challenge is really not stressful; if there was a hot pot with this weather, I could only cuddle with my Erica for a nap."
"Yamamoto Yasuo1986724: Yoshi, hot pot da da de good..."
"Yuan Jiacheng19901129: It seems our friend from Dongying on a... good... day also wants to eat hot pot!"
"Songphaisan1996213: Sawasdee, in winter you must eat Tom Yum Goong, sour, spicy, warming to the stomach and the heart."
"Andreas19991212: Look at you all, always chatting on the channel and eating every day. Lord Zong never uses the channel! He's such a low-key, mighty lord!"
Seeing this, the silent Zong Shen blushed with embarrassment.
The [Regional Channel] was relatively active and had a moderate refresh rate, like a thousand-member group chat.
Seeing it made Zong Shen's fingers itch, contemplating whether to pop in and show off.
With his current reputation in the region, as long as he uttered a sound in the [Channel].
There would undoubtedly be a large wave of boot-licker Lords swarming up to flatter him.
However, he finally dismissed the idea.
Vulgar! Too vulgar!
He, Zong, was not one to covet vanity!
"Zong Shen1999514: Hello everyone..."
"Nehemiah Chazuo1997117: Hello, my foot! It's freezing!"
"Yan Hao1996817: It's Lord Zong!"
...
The [Regional Channel] exploded instantly.
The refresh rate of messages increased several times over.
Zong Shen was like a human grenade, pulling all the lurking Lords out.
Watching the rapidly refreshing [Channel], Zong Shen's vanity was satisfied.
Within this region, even if there was dissatisfaction in their hearts, no one dared to jump out and openly taunt him.
During the final challenge of the Burrow Challenge, Zong Shen had successfully established his prestige.
He had also revealed his strength to a certain extent.
As long as a Lord wasn't brain-dead, they wouldn't choose to offend him.
After Zong Shen popped in, members of his [Guides Corps] also began popping in.
Some corps members even mentioned how he provided cold-resistant materials at cost price.
Envying all the onlookers.
After satisfying his vanity as a big shot, Zong Shen closed the [Regional Channel].
At this moment, noticeable footsteps came from the stairs.
Zong Shen sat up straight, turned his head to see the stair entrance.
He saw Wenresa coming down the stairs.
The fur coat and hood she wore were covered in snowflakes.
After she descended the stairs, due to the relative warmth inside.
All these snowflakes started to melt.
Wenresa left wet footprints on the stone floor with every step.
However, the floors in the Lord's Small Tower were stone, so Zong Shen didn't mind.
Wenresa hurriedly walked towards Zong Shen after reaching the ground floor.
"Lord, there's a caravan heading towards the east of the territory."
"They passed unimpeded through the defense matrix of the territory."
"It should be one of your acquaintances," Wenresa reported with a bow.
Zong Shen couldn't help but furrow his brow.
"A caravan?"
"An acquaintance?"
"I'll go take a look," he said, picking up his Battle Helmet, preparing to see for himself.
At this moment, Luna also came downstairs, fully dressed.
Zong Shen handed a [Fire Ginger Candy] from the differentiated compensation package to Luna.
The Lord's Small Tower had a large fireplace.
It could provide warmth without needing [Magic Energy Thermal Balls].
It even had a full standard kitchen.
Complete with a set of ordinary cooking utensils.
"Luna, go brew a pot of ginger sugar tea," he instructed.
"Help Wenresa warm up."
"And take some to the Dwarf Uncle and Alanna."
"Bring back the Sheepskin Coat that Marie made during this period," Zong Shen decided, asking Luna to run errands.
The Tailor Shop and Blacksmith Shop were equipped with warm stoves.
Unfortunately, the Dwarf Uncle had quit drinking.
His attitude was resolute, earning Zong Shen's admiration.
He could only reward them with ginger sugar tea.
During this time, the Dwarf Uncle had not been idle.
He selected two fairly clever apprentices from the Rare Level farmers.
To learn blacksmithing skills from him!
