Global Lords: I Have Information System

Chapter 643 - 431: Characteristics of the Challenge, Rodok Crossbowman

Zong Shen was meticulously preparing for the snow expedition.

It was clear he placed great importance on this operation!

During the 48-hour second phase of the frosty winter.

A total of 10,000 frosty snow beasts will appear.

These snow beasts are a challenging threat for ordinary lords.

But for Zong Shen, they were treasures.

They were the only means to widen the points gap besides the basic survival points in the second phase.

If you have the ability, killing one is like earning one.

Killing ten would mean an extra 10,000 points in this phase.

Based on the previous round’s experience, getting more points during the challenge period is all benefit with no harm.

Those points can be exchanged for a variety of fancy things.

As long as Zong Shen can lead in the end, there might be other benefits.

The Lord System is always eager to make lords compete in an involution style.

In the absence of other explicit competitive activities, Zong Shen must strive to become the lord with the most points.

At least, he must become the lord with the most points in the region.

This time, due to the special nature of the challenge, the difficulty of acquiring points is somewhat different from the last round.

Because there are survival guarantee points, the lower-level lords can benefit effectively.

Ensuring basic survival is not difficult, the only significant threat is the frosty snow beasts.

But the quantity of these snow beasts is not too much, and they don’t tend to stick together.

With 10,000 snow beasts scattered across a 40,000 square kilometer area for two days.

The pressure each lord faces is not too great when spread out.

After the first round of challenges, there are defense arrow towers in every lord’s territory.

The only difference is in the number and tier of these towers.

As long as they stay obediently in their territories, relying on the defense buildings, even with some casualties, they can handle the frosty snow beasts.

Of course, there could be unlucky ones who encounter the frosty snow beasts successively.

No one can say for sure about such situations.

Zong Shen is not a savior and has no time to consider the casualties that lords might face in this challenge round.

In summary, each challenge has only two outcomes.

These two scenarios apply to all lords, including Zong Shen himself.

That is: Death—A complete end, Survival—Growing stronger.

As long as one can survive the challenge, they are certain to grow stronger.

The difference is only in the degree to which each person grows stronger.

Zong Shen has currently summarized four characteristics of the challenges set by the Lord System.

First: You get what you pay for.

Second: High risks accompany high rewards, and vice versa.

Third: When your thinking and abilities can overturn the current situation, you will be heavily rewarded.

Fourth: The challenge is a tempering, not a slaughter.

Apart from these four, there are variables among the lords.

This variable is everyone’s luck.

The unlucky ones might be so unfortunate that they die, while the Emperor of Luck could win effortlessly to the end.

Luck, viewed as something mystical, is something elusive.

But in reality, luck is the result of an accumulation of multiple events.

Theoretically, if all events and subsequent changes could be understood, luck could be predicted.

At the same time, this thing is not irreversible.

Ultimately, it’s just about encountering the inevitable within the accidental.

Zong Shen sees this clearly; as a hack, he can calmly view the Lord System.

And gradually analyze the underlying motives from it.

After all, thriving with the wind at your back is countless times more comfortable than going upward against the wind.

Only by understanding the true intention of the Lord System can one accurately take off with the trend.

Zong Shen held the [Wind-Fire-Thunder Trident] in one hand, pondering.

The warriors still maintained their ready state.

Due to the increased snowfall, everyone’s fur coats were gradually being covered by a layer of snowflakes.

The warriors were all wearing the same [Double-sided Sheepskin Cold-Resistant Suit], it was a thick and robust military cold-resistant garment from Boss Bang.

Compared to regular [sewn sheepskin coat], this cold-resistant suit was made of double the sheepskin material, providing superb cold resistance, effectively ensuring body heat is not rapidly lost.

This level of cold-resistant clothing combined with the warriors’ constitution and attributes, far exceeding those of ordinary farmers.

Even in this harsh environment of minus twenty or thirty degrees Celsius, everyone can still maintain a good combat state.

Of course, the cold did have some impact; in the severe cold, blood circulation and metabolism become slower, and limbs become stiffer than usual.

After strenuous exercise, even taking deep breaths is difficult, the frigid air iritates the trachea and lungs, and to keep warm, one needs to keep moving constantly.

The cold-resistant suits cannot completely prevent heat conduction and loss.

Standing still as they do now is a mistake.

They must fully activate their body cells.

Start consuming stored energy within their bodies, continuously generating heat for themselves.

They have been standing for over ten minutes now.

Some warriors’ legs began to feel numb.

Although the torso is the area with the largest exposure, as the extremities of blood vessels, the weakening of circulation first impacts the limbs, especially the legs.

Zong Shen noticed this as well and waved his hand to produce a [Magic Energy Thermal Ball].
