Chapter 51: The Number of Lords Drops Below Two Digits
Chapter 51: The Number of Lords Drops Below Two Digits
---
On the sixth day of the third week, Qin Muye's points had stopped increasing, and he had spent them all. This time, the total points were 20,641, but there was no ranking on the leaderboard.
After the Demon Blood and the spirits returned through the two-way portal, a large batch of resources was added to his inventory.
In addition to resources, there were also quite a few treasures, though mostly they were low-tier treasures. There was also one mid-tier treasure called the Golden Bag, which could be considered an upgraded version of his Golden Pack, providing 750 gold coins per day.
As for the rest, there wasn't much else.
From Demon Blood's account, Qin Muye learned that over the past three days, they had only raided five undead forces, with each force yielding around 4,000 points on average, with some variation.
Of course, these points were enough for Qin Muye to redeem all the basic building blueprints he hadn't redeemed from the last event and to construct and upgrade them.
The points from raiding were not many, but that didn't mean they had killed few monsters.
The two-way portal led to a place filled with undead, where many of them roamed.
There were also several powerful undead forces, and they only attacked after reconnaissance confirmed it was safe to do so.
Considering their marching speed and the distance between forces, raiding five undead forces in three days was already quite good. It wasn't as if different undead forces were just a street apart; the minimum distance was hundreds of miles.
In truth, the real gain was the level-ups of Demon Blood and Evil Speech.
Demon Blood had reached Level 15, while Evil Speech had reached Level 14.
One had gained 2 levels, and the other had gained 3 levels, which was quite a good level-up.
As a result, Demon Blood had gained the skills of Basic Counterattack and Basic Reconnaissance.
[Basic Counterattack: Increases counterattack damage by 5%]
This was a fairly standard skill, but the real usefulness came from Basic Reconnaissance, which made many things easier during battles.
Evil Speech's three new skills were quite peculiar: Basic Necromancy, Intermediate Necromancy, and Basic Resistance.
[Basic Necromancy: Increases the effect of Death magic by 5%]
[Intermediate Necromancy: Increases the effect of Death magic by 10%]
These skills had prerequisites, such as mastering the corresponding level of Soul Summoning, Death Understanding, Mysticism, and Wisdom, before they could be learned.
Surprisingly, these were quite good, as they significantly enhanced Evil Speech's weakening capabilities in Death magic.
Qin Muye suspected that similar prerequisite skills existed for other magic types, but unfortunately, he only had one mage hero.
However, with this experience, he could avoid pitfalls in the future.
Qin Muye then asked where they had placed the two-way portal, as this wasn't a one-time deal, and they would definitely need to use it again.
Demon Blood had not returned it to the original cave, unsure if there might be any issues, and instead buried it in a hidden place.
The main reason was that the area where the two-way portal was located was an undead region, which was unsuitable for living beings. Otherwise, Demon Blood had planned to capture a territory to use as a forward base.
After all, as living beings, they were too conspicuous among the undead, and over time, they would surely become targets. Therefore, Demon Blood's plan was simple: to move the two-way portal as far away from the undead region as possible.
However, the undead lands were vast, so it was difficult to determine the scope of the area. This idea could only be pursued to the best of their ability, and when the time came, they would have to return.
Although he wanted to continue, he had to comply with Qin Muye's orders and had no choice.
Qin Muye listened to Demon Blood's plan and agreed, saying that it was the right decision, but the time was not right yet.
While they were indeed conspicuous among the undead, they would be just as noticeable in other places. After this raiding spree, they would likely be a menace wherever they went, even as Blessed Lords.
After six days of raiding, the top ten on the leaderboard had all reached Level 5. The leading True Dragon Emperor had even become a Level 5 Champion, while the second and third, the Demon Subduing Scholar and the Undead Gentleman, were Level 5 Elites. The others in the top ten were regular Level 5s.
The gap between the upper and lower ranks was severe, and Qin Muye was part of the lower ranks. Despite being Level 2, he was still just a Level 2.
But it didn't matter much. He was content with living his small, peaceful life. The Red Wind Plains, where he resided, had little value, so he didn't have to worry about being mistakenly killed.
After all, it wasn't just a poor and harsh land; it had no value at all.
After filling the library and the magic guild with the majority of the skill books and magic books collected by Demon Blood and Evil Speech, he thought about one thing: the raiding event would end in about a day.
He didn't plan to participate in the subsequent events, as they were too dangerous. If either Demon Blood or Evil Speech were lost, his territory would surely fall into trouble. It was best to know when to stop, as this was a feast for high-ranking lords, and they, the small lords, should be content with the scraps.
After six days of the event, the leaderboard had shrunk to only 94 people. Qin Muye had moved up a few positions, reaching 89th place, which was the fifth-to-last.
This indicated that not only the lords behind him had died, but also those ahead of him. It was definitely the natives' revenge.
Thinking about it was terrifying. This was clearly not something ordinary people could handle. Over three weeks, the death rate was 90%, and it was still rising. It could be his turn at any moment.
Now, he was somewhat relieved to be in this resource-poor and isolated place.
"Defending the city, attacking, these are conscious efforts to cultivate the lords. I wonder what the fourth week's event will be." Qin Muye knew that each event came with rich rewards, but each also carried the risk of death. It was a process of survival of the fittest.
"Since there's still a day left, why not use the story mission scroll? I can just grind a few dungeons."
With nothing else to do, and with Demon Blood and Evil Speech back, he had 1,000 Frenzied Blood Goblins and 100 Cursed Goblins. He was confident he could clear a dungeon.
After making his decision, he took Demon Blood, Evil Speech, and the goblins with him and immediately used the story mission scroll.
A beam of light enveloped Qin Muye, teleporting him away, leaving Demon Blood and Evil Speech to look at each other in confusion.
"Did the master forget to take us?"
"Maybe he wants us to wait?"
The two goblins were at a loss.
