Global Lords: I Have Information System

Chapter 628 423: The Cruelty of the Challenge, The Ruthless One Who Dispelled the Gloom Above the Sky

Before this, Zong Shen handed over the Communication Crystal numbered 11 to her.

It was to facilitate strengthening communication between territories.

As the crystal vibrated, when Doris saw that the communication number displayed on it was 1.

The mood affected by the icy rain immediately improved a lot.

After connecting, she reported her safety to Zong Shen.

After receiving a few words of care and advice, both parties ended the crystal call.

Doris then followed Zong Shen's instructions and dialed number 13, which belonged to Hoy's crystal number.

Discussing the situation regarding the icy rain.

Fortunately, each house and stone house had reserved a large amount of supplies.

Including warm stoves, firewood, and pine tar blocks.

After the temperature suddenly dropped, Zong Shen allowed any subject to use them.

...

Outside, the super-cold icy rain was pouring down continuously.

In the initial ten minutes, it could only be considered as light rain.

Now it had already reached the level of moderate rain.

Zong Shen stood in the living room of the Lord's Small Tower, looking at the window on one side, lost in thought.

Outside the window was already a blur.

The icy rain slapped on the window, immediately forming a layer of ice.

This was truly the phenomenon of water turning into ice upon contact.

Not just the Lord's Small Tower, but almost all buildings within the territory were covered by this ice layer.

This ice armor accumulated to a thickness of seven or eight centimeters within a dozen minutes.

Simultaneously, the first request for help appeared in the legion.

According to the chat records,

this member of the legion chose to go out despite warnings during the clear weather period in the morning,

leaving the territory about two or three kilometers away.

This call for help received no response from anyone.

After flashing alone for two minutes, it completely went out.

Meanwhile, the number of members in the legion decreased by one.

Without a high-mobility ice-snow vehicle or other portable cold-proof methods,

trying to walk or ride an ordinary Grassland Horse to cross those two or three kilometers was simply wishful thinking.

Their final fate was frozen into an ice sculpture.

For this, Zong Shen was also helpless.

This level of sudden natural disaster had already exceeded his expectations.

After the buildings outside were covered by ice layers, the temperature instead stabilized.

This seemed to be related to the so-called igloo principle.

On Earth, Inuits living in the Arctic region would build igloos.

These igloos could maintain an interior temperature of a few degrees below zero.

Even when the external temperature dropped to tens of degrees below zero.

Compared to polar temperatures, a few degrees below zero, along with some cold-resistant facilities, could already support survival.

This is because igloos are airtight, with poor air mobility.

Plus, ice is a poor conductor of heat.

Which keeps the heat inside the igloo from easily being conducted out.

It proved that as long as one isn't exposed to icy rain, continuous loss of temperature would not occur.

This complied with the basic survival principles of the Frosty Winter Challenge.

Of course, if any Lord insisted on going out, then the cost of obtaining high returns would be the higher difficulty and danger of the challenge.

Zong Shen stood by the window for a while, listening to the gradually vague sound of the rain outside.

The appearance of the ice shell blocked the transmission of external sounds.

He withdrew his worried gaze and sat beside Marie.

Reaching out to gently place a hand on her shoulder, preparing to offer some comfort, when suddenly,

a golden banner subtitle appeared.

This golden subtitle was extremely dazzling, and each banner displayed the same few lines of words.

Immediately attracting Zong Shen's attention.

The last time such ostentatious subtitles appeared was when he took down the regional challenge Boss.

But this time, the protagonist of the subtitles was not him.

There were only two banners that popped up.

The momentum wasn't as grand as his at that time.

[Lord Jan Haisiz 1989714 dispelled the clouds from the sky, forcibly reversing the climate and receiving a rich reward]

[Taking a solid step on the path to becoming the Strongest Lord]

[Lord Jan Haisiz 1989714 will receive a Platinum Challenge Treasure Chest]

[Due to the special nature of this climate reversal, temporary adjustments will be made to the sky clouds]

[Additionally, the region where this lord is located will enter a normal climate state, lasting until noon tomorrow]

[Within the normal climate state, survival points available in the region remain unchanged, and Yetis will spawn normally]

When Zong Shen saw this subtitle, he was dumbfounded.

Goodness, there are still quite a few fierce people among the Lords across the region.

For example, this Jan Haisiz, using some unknown skill or tool,

actually managed to dispel those supplementing clouds in the sky.

This transformative approach earned him a Platinum Challenge Treasure Chest.

Also, it granted his region nearly 24 hours of special climate time.

They could obtain basic survival points in normal climates.

And could kill those Commander Level Yetis.

It's important to know that Commander Level Yetis have completely different strengths under frosty and non-frosty climates.

The same goes for the Lords; in normal climates, they can defeat Yetis more easily.

"Still a lot of fierce individuals out there..."

Zong Shen was stunned for a while, leaving only this sentiment.

That Lord must have obtained some large-scale climate-changing magic.

Then daring to plunge into the dark clouds and completely clear them over his territory.

This continent is vast, with many glorious era histories.

Zong Shen never considered himself the absolute protagonist among Lords.

But with the advantage of the guide module, he could develop faster than other Lords.

Yet it doesn't prevent those with great fortune and wisdom from rising in other regions.

This was always a world dotted with star-like figures.

He was just one of the relatively shining ones.

Fortunately, the extent of this subversion still can't compare with Zong Shen using[Wailing Lich]to take down the Netherworld Snake Apophis.

Thus, the banner's specifications and rewards were also several levels inferior.

But it also made this Lord named Jan Haisiz renowned far and wide!

It's foreseeable that he will definitely rise powerfully as an Overlord of the region.

And a Platinum Challenge Treasure Chest sounds more advanced than silver or gold ones.

According to the treasure chest contexts, it's possible to find a Tier Five Warrior Recruitment Scroll or Building Blueprint.

With good luck, there's even a chance of opening a Golden Epic Level item.

To say not being envious would be a lie.

However, this banner allowed Zong Shen to uncover another truth.

That is, the Lord System actually encourages Lords to perform subversive actions.

From killing the Netherworld Snake Apophis to dispelling the sky clouds.

The first to do such things often receives rewards.

After that, the Lord System will begin patching.

This reminded Zong Shen of the time during the Burrow Challenge when he went against the norm and probed the Earth Cavern Teleportation Gate.

If at that time he could have extracted the Arcane Fragment buried beneath Lake Heart Island,

he could have completely destroyed the Teleportation Gate.

Because that Teleportation Gate had a Durability Value as well.

It was just that the Durability Value was extremely high, making it difficult for him to break through with his then strength.

Actually, in hindsight, that Teleportation Gate also held potential for subversion.

Speaking of which, achieving subversion conditions is also very difficult.

Take the second stage of the Frosty Winter Challenge as an example.

To dispel dark clouds, firstly, one must possess a tool or magic capable of large-scale climate change.

Secondly, one must dare to venture into the skies after the clouds have fully formed.

This largely depends on an individual's luck.

You must have targeted tools in hand to do so.

Additionally, it relates to one's mindset, needing a thought process that breaks traditional concepts.

Along with strong adventurous spirit and strength as backing to accomplish it.

Zong Shen analyzed a bit, did some self-reflection and critique.

Challenges are not just challenges, but also opportunities for the rise of the strong.

He must reassess his recent actions.

The expansion of the territory made him lose some aggressiveness.

Especially after savoring benefits among Indigenous People.

This caused Zong Shen to become somewhat complacent towards the Frosty Winter Challenge.

This news exploded among the Lords across the region.

Having just tasted the flavor of icy rain,

everyone developed awe for the second stage of the Frosty Winter!
