Chapter 653 - 436: Frosty Winter, Night 2 – Forgotten Surprises
This is the second night after entering the Frosty Winter Challenge.
The cold climate can make people feel drowsy.
More sleep time is needed now to accumulate energy for the body.
The two women first came to the long table to report the situation to Zong Shen.
After informing Zong Shen that they had safely returned the warriors to the living area,
they began to move freely.
Wenresa sat wearily in a chair in the living room.
Luna, upon seeing the busy scene in the kitchen, suddenly felt wide awake.
After a simple wash of her two hands, she eagerly entered the kitchen.
Cooking is her newfound hobby, and by preparing delicious food for her beloved ones, Luna not only passed the time but also gained soul satisfaction.
So Luna is now very attentive to cooking.
She had just walked into the kitchen and hadn’t managed to get involved when she suddenly remembered something.
She quickly walked out of the kitchen and headed towards Wenresa sitting in the living room.
After whispering a few affectionate words in her ear,
she dragged and embraced Wenresa and went together into the kitchen.
This made the kitchen much more lively.
Zong Shen only glanced silently before withdrawing his gaze.
It was apparently Doris’s first time cooking as Zong Shen could occasionally hear Marie teaching her some cooking basics.
Unfortunately, the meditation fanatics Tasuya and Aisha had not returned to rest.
After Aisha advanced to Tier Four Holy Light Deacon, Tasuya started a certain competition with her.
All their spare time was spent on meditation cultivation in the Magic Hall to endeavor to improve their attributes and strength.
The improvement from meditation cultivation has a limit, with 24 hours as one attribute cycle.
Once ten cycles are accumulated, the limit is reached.
The two of them have now accumulated improvements for three cycles of attributes.
This competition essentially stems from the incompatibility between the Holy Light System and the Undead Magic.
When Aisha was first recruited, their first meeting ended in an argument.
Zong Shen remembers this well, and there were continual clashes afterward.
Fortunately, after spending some time together, along with Zong Shen’s intentional reconciliation,
the relationship between the two women has improved a lot; at least they have become relatively normal partners.
Although open confrontations and hostility are absent now, the underlying competition has never ceased, with both wanting to surpass the other in strength.
Currently, Tasuya is temporarily at a disadvantage.
After all, Aisha is already Tier Four, while Tasuya is still Tier Three.
Such healthy competition is naturally not opposed, as whether Tasuya or Aisha is stronger, they are leaders among Zong Shen’s mages.
He sat on a chair, emptying his thoughts, as the second night of the Frosty Winter was similar to the first night, lazy and slack.
Earlier, Zong Shen checked the Regional Channel.
He found that the situation in the region was generally calm.
According to discussions, about one-fifth of the lords claim to have been attacked by the Yeti.
This data is not accurate and should only be considered as a reference.
Meanwhile, the number of survivors in the region has decreased by 192 today.
With the arrival of night, the activity time of the Frosty Snow Beast increases.
More Yetis should begin to invade the territory.
Tonight is destined not to be peaceful for some lords.
However, these matters have little to do with our certain Lord.
The nearby Frosty Snow Beast, those close to the territory, were nearly completely slain by him.
Of course, it does not rule out the possibility of Yetis wandering in tonight.
The legion members’ territories are also in nearby areas and might not be attracted by a certain Lord.
Thinking about legion members, Zong Shen suddenly recalled that morning when staying in Baron Bezos’s castle, when a countdown appeared in the legion.
That countdown still has more than sixty hours left.
Roughly equivalent to two and a half days, just in time for the end of the Frosty Winter Challenge.
According to the system’s remarks below, after the countdown ends, version 1.1 rules of the legion will be launched.
It is unknown what adjustments will be made.
Zong Shen is no stranger to rule adjustments of the Lord System.
As the mysterious entity leading the lords’ arrival, the Lord System will adjust various rules based on the general development progress of the lords.
To adapt to new situations at different stages of development.
In fact, the previous legion rules were somewhat out of touch with the current situation.
Especially the rule of only recruiting lords within the range of territory level.
This is what Zong Shen wants to criticize.
This rule not only restricts the improvement of legion members but also affects the territory’s development itself.
That is the inability to ensure exclusivity of the territory.
This relates to the total area of the region and the number of surviving lords.
Within the eight-kilometer territory radius of Zong Shen’s domain, there are dozens of lords.
This is an awkward situation, although it conforms to the initial rules and conditions at the time of arrival.
But it hides contradictions as these lords within the range will eventually obstruct the territory’s expansion.
And the conception proposed by Zong Shen earlier of a central point supplemented by multiple supply points is actually quite challenging.
These dozens of lords also need to maintain continuous development, and just a few square kilometers of land is simply not enough.
Regarding this aspect, it is highly likely there will be subsequent adjustments by the Lord System.
