Chapter 615 417: Clues and Omens—My Hometown Is Called Earth
The crowd listened to Master Mars's words.
They could only dismiss their doubts.
Attributing the anomalies in Zong Shen Territory to personal peculiarities.
Especially those three traveling merchants, who mainly bought food from various villages.
Inevitably, they came into contact with many large-scale breeders.
They had seen this kind of cattle-raising method before.
Because the Lord's challenge was so astonishingly unconventional, it was beyond their imagination.
Even if they tried to analyze it in a crooked way, they couldn't think of the Lord's challenge.
Clearly in the same world, how could there be different climates?
Their thinking limited their imagination.
Eventually, they could only attribute it to "peculiarity".
Zong Shen looked at their expressions without showing any unusual emotion.
Blame it on the oddity, no need to explain, and no need to explain.
After all, the Lord's challenge was just this kind of thing.
Zong Shen took the initiative to shake hands and say goodbye to them.
Standing on the Burden-Bearer Mecha, he watched them board the carriage and gradually leave.
The three traveling merchants and Master Mars shared the same carriage.
After traveling several kilometers, the traveling merchant named Sherwood spoke to Mars.
"Master Mars, your friend is quite unique."
"Not only fully armored, but also wearing such a heavy fur coat..."
The other two traveling merchants also looked at Mars with inquisitive eyes.
Master Mars tightened the pack full of Dinars slung across his chest.
Smiled awkwardly.
"I'm not quite sure either..."
"But he does have some strength."
"You won't suffer losses by cooperating with him."
Mars recalled Zong Shen's gesture of waving and taking out over a million Dinars.
His expression became more solemn.
Wealth is also a kind of strength.
Hearing Master Mars say this, Sherwood and the others just smiled.
They did not take his words to heart.
...
After the snow stopped, the clouds thinned somewhat at the sky's zenith.
Zong Shen looked up at the sky, the silver moon's glow filtered through the thin cloud layer.
The cold wind had ceased, and the surrounding temperature rose slightly.
But the temperature still hadn't risen above freezing.
On the route Zong Shen often traveled.
Some of the snow had been compacted and reaccumulated, changing from dry snow to wet snow.
Fortunately, the transformation was not widespread.
The majority of the snow was still soft and fluffy dry snow.
As long as the temperature doesn't suddenly soar above freezing.
This snow would remain as dry snow for several days.
The twenty cows remaining on site continued to moo incessantly.
Since ownership hadn't been assigned to Zong Shen, these cows would not be affected by Frosty Winter.
Currently, the Lords' strength is still much weaker compared to the Indigenous Forces.
This gap leads to serious stratification.
If the Lord System doesn't control the Lord's challenge and conducts an indiscriminate challenge.
Then it would definitely throw the entire continent into complete chaos.
This chaos would be catastrophic for Lords who are just starting out.
None of the current Lords can resist the powerful Indigenous Forces.
Even Zong Shen, who is vaguely the strongest among the Lords, cannot.
Not to mention those at the Giant City Level, even slightly powerful Bang Cities like Boss Bang have tens of thousands in their army.
Being crushed by tens of thousands of soldiers, even if most of them are Tier 2 warriors, is something his Territory cannot currently fend off.
After all, thousands of soldiers are not the same as thousands of mindless Burrow Monsters.
Those warriors have experienced many battles, with levels far beyond the standard of Level 10 for Professional Soldiers.
And they cooperate with all sorts of fancy armaments.
They could definitely easily flatten Zong Shen's current small area.
Let alone other Lords.
Moreover, the Lord's challenge is originally meant to temper the Lords.
To accelerate the growth rate of all Lords.
So whether in terms of the Lord System's motives.
Or the current reality.
In the short term, the Lord System will not expand the challenge to include the entire domain of the Indigenous People.
Besides, with the power of the Lord System, ensuring complete non-interference is not difficult.
Yet, it seems to deliberately leave such flaws.
As Lords and Indigenous People interact more and more.
The performance of the Lords in challenges would seem quite peculiar to the Indigenous People.
Coupled with the sudden appearance of the Lords, it cannot be ruled out that the wise among the Indigenous People might infer the existence of the Lord System.
The world is full of wonders.
Indigenous People aren't fools, Zong Shen thinks there could be this possibility.
This situation, rather than being a flaw left by the Lord System.
Is more like a clue and a foretaste.
The likelihood of proactive flaws existing in the Lord System is small.
But through these days of experience, Zong Shen has discovered that every change made by the Lord System leaves clues and omens.
For example, before the end of the Newbie Stage, the weather that was suppressed and locked began to change.
By noon, vast clouds had already gathered.
Similarly, before the Burrow Challenge begins, a sealed Burrow appears 24 hours in advance.
And the same goes for this Frosty Winter Challenge.
Every time, the Lord System leaves very clear clues.
Thus, the answer to the challenge discrepancy between Indigenous People and Lords is revealed.
Perhaps in the future, when the gap in strength between Lords and Indigenous People narrows further.
