Chapter 36: Chapter 32: Individual Points, Tiered Rankings, Overall Ranking

Qin Feng asked, a little curious,

“Strongest Lord?”

“What does this event require me to do?”

Don’t call me MC said slowly,

“There’s a lot to do.”

“It’s a long-term event that lasts for sixty days and includes six ranked tasks.”

“For example, from day one to day ten,”

“the ’Food Collection’ event task will be open.”

“All Lord Players must immediately drop whatever else they’re doing. You have to send your production-type subjects to focus entirely on creating Food resources. At the same time, you also need to take your combat troops into the wild for Hunting and gathering to collect as many types of Food resources as possible.”

“Then, every night at midnight, the system will automatically calculate the results.”

“The Lord Player who collected the most Food resources that day gets first place and the biggest Dragon Crystal reward. The one with the second-most gets second place and the second-biggest reward… and so on.”

“From day eleven to day twenty,”

“the ’Wood Collection’ event opens. The details are pretty much the same as ’Food Collection,’ mainly comparing the amount of wood each Lord Player can gather daily.”

“Next is the ’Stone Collection’ event. The details are a copy of the previous two event tasks, comparing how much Stone each Lord Player can gather per day.”

“Then there’s the fourth event task:

Day of Battle.”

“As the name suggests, Lord Players need to lead their combat troops out to fight. You have to find and kill enemies that are at least Zero-star (Gray) level. The event ranking is then based on the total number and quality of enemies each Lord Player kills that day.”

“The fifth event is called ’Elite Hunting.’ It’s similar in nature to ’Day of Battle’—you also go out looking for a fight.”

“But you only get points for killing BOSS creatures and Heroic Units.”

“Killing regular units, no matter how many,”

“doesn’t count for any points.”

“Finally, the sixth event is called the Path of Growth.”

“Every day, it compares the personal strength of each Lord Player. It uses the Combat Evaluation and Four-dimensional Attributes given by the system to determine the individual rankings.”

At this point, MC’s mouth felt dry from talking so much. He picked up the cup beside him again and chugged a few mouthfuls of sweet spring water he had just drawn from a nearby spring.

He tilted his head back, holding the water in his mouth for a few seconds to let it fully moisten his dry throat. Only then did he look back at Qin Feng’s private chat window and resume his voice message:

“Tingfeng.”

“You can probably see,”

“that out of these six event tasks, the first three mainly benefit ’King of Territory’ players, the next two mainly benefit ’King of Tactics’ players, and only the last one, Path of Growth, benefits your ’King of War.’”

“But in reality, if you’re really trying to climb the leaderboard, your King of War isn’t at a disadvantage. In fact, it has the biggest advantage.”

“That’s because, besides the daily sub-rankings, the Strongest Lord event also has an overall ranking that includes all event points. The Dragon Crystal rewards for that are much, much larger than all the sub-ranking rewards combined.”

“Among them,”

“Path of Growth gives the most individual points to a Lord Player.”

“Far more than the previous five event tasks.”

“Hmm… I haven’t calculated the exact scores, so I’ll just give you a rough idea.”

“Collecting 1 unit of wood gives 1 point. Collecting 1 unit of Food also gives 1 point. Collecting 1 unit of Stone still only gives 1 point.”

“Killing a Zero-star (Gray) enemy gives 1 point. Killing a Zero-star (White) enemy gives 2 points. Killing a Zero-star (Gray) BOSS gives 10 points, and a Zero-star (White) BOSS gives 20 points… and so on.”

“Anyway, unless you use special methods to boost your score, the total points from all these event tasks will only get you a few tens of thousands of points at most.”

“It’s impossible to get more.”

“But ’Path of Growth’ sends points directly based on a Lord Player’s daily ranking.”

“As long as your personal strength is high enough to make it into the top one hundred, you’ll get at least a few thousand points every day. On good days, you could even get tens of thousands.”

“You can easily surpass the points you painstakingly accumulated in the previous events.”

“And secure a spot on the overall leaderboard…”

Hearing this, Qin Feng stroked his chin and analyzed slowly,

“Oh.”

“I think I get it.”

“The King of Territory has a resource production-boosting Talent.”

“So, in the first three collection events related to gathering resources, they can basically secure top ranks and get a lot of individual points.”

“The King of Tactics’ Talent is suited for multi-front combat, allowing their legions to simultaneously attack enemy camps in all directions, clearing them out quickly and annihilating a large number of enemies at once.”

“Meanwhile, the King of War’s Imperial Expedition Talent is only good for single-front combat, and the King of Territory’s garrisoned troops become completely useless trash the moment they leave their home base.”

“That’s why the King of Tactics can achieve extremely high ranks in the latter two combat events.”

“And earn enough individual points.”

“The final Path of Growth event mainly looks at a Lord Player’s individual raw power. It prioritizes their Combat Evaluation, then compares their detailed Four-dimensional Attributes, and finally assigns a rank and points that match their strength.”

“So it’s perfect for a King of War, who can ’double their Attributes’ right from the start, to shine…”

Don’t call me MC nodded.

“Mhm.”

“You’ve got a good grasp of it.”

Suddenly, Don’t call me MC’s tone changed as he added a word of caution,

“But,”

“you shouldn’t even consider aiming for the top twenty on the overall leaderboard.”

“Because while your advantage as a King of War in competing for the overall ranking is significant, you’ll have a hard time beating the Reincarnated Players who are also aiming for the top spots.”

“Take a powerful top-tier alliance like the Hafke Alliance, for example.”

“When they want to compete for the top overall rank in a Lord event, they don’t rely on the individual strength of an elite player, but on the resource integration of their entire alliance.”

“First,”

“they’ll choose a Powerful, top-tier expert.”

“These people are basically core members of the Hafke Alliance who planned their future development long before their Rebirth. That’s why they start by choosing King of War, the most difficult class to develop.”

“At that point, he doesn’t need to be distracted by developing his own territory. He just needs to rely on the various territory resources and Powerful legions provided by other members to rapidly increase his personal strength.”

“Second,”

“for the first thirty days of the event,”

“the other members of the Hafke Alliance will intentionally leave their territory gates wide open. They’ll blatantly place all kinds of territory resources out in the open, without the Shelter of any buildings, waiting for this person to lead his Divine Chosen Legion over to collect them.”

“It’s basically a free delivery of massive amounts of wood and Food.”

“They’re feeding him points.”

“This way, he can also get a high enough score in the first three collection events to secure a leading advantage in the race for the overall ranking.”

“As for the remaining combat events,”

“there aren’t really any tricks they can pull.”

“But for an elite player like that, who gets strong by ’leeching off all his teammates,’”

“they can get a ton of points on their own merit.”

“So,”

“it’s not really a problem for them.”
