33: Day 7

Time flew by, and another four days passed.

In just seven short days, the number of Lords in this district had already dwindled to just over 600,000.

Nearly 40% of the Lords were cruelly eliminated.

These past few days, almost all Lords were very nervous, fearing that they too would be eliminated.

The remaining Lords formed alliance after alliance.

When one side had trouble, all sides provided support.

Otherwise, at least another 100,000 Lords would have been eliminated.

In previousNovice assessment (Newbie Assessments), in almost ninety percent of the districts, by the seventh day, only about two-thirds of the Lords remained.

After seven days, it gradually stabilized.

Although many Lords were still eliminated every day, the battles were far less brutal than in these past few days.

Especially as time progressed, Lords would acquire other Troops blueprints or various items.

Even Lords whose initial Troops were only Tier 2 or Tier 3 might suddenly have a surge in power and defeat Lords whose initial Troops were Tier 4 or Tier 5.

Over these four days, Li Feng's gains were also quite substantial.

The basin where Zhang Qiang descended was full of ore veins.

Although it only took a little over two hours to collect everything, it contributed over 1 million units of basic resources and 150,000 gold coins, making Li Feng rich overnight.

Then there were the explorations of these past few days, killing various monsters, and collecting food, monster materials, items, and so on.

Every day, Li Feng collected over ten thousand units of food.

However, ever since he summoned Buzzwole, Li Feng's food supply became tight, and he kept it all for his own use, no longer selling it.

Don't let the fact that there were only 200 Buzzwole fool you; each one was massive.

Li Feng consumed over 10 units of food a day.

And Buzzwole's food consumption was several times that of Li Feng.

With 200 Buzzwole combined, their food consumption was imaginable.

However, even if Li Feng wanted to sell, the market conditions were not as good as the first three days.

Starting from the fourth day, Lords began to team up to explore the map and kill monsters.

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers.

When a certain number of Lords teamed up, their strength greatly increased, allowing them to easily sweep through monsters and harvest large amounts of food.

From the fourth day onwards, food was no longer a scarce commodity, and its price was driven back to the normal market price within a day.

This made many Lords who wanted to emulate Li Feng's shrewd business tactics beat their chests and secretly regret being a step too late.

Finally, the last half-hour of the seventh day of the assessment arrived.

[Monster Siege begins, Monster Count: 100]

On the sixth day, the number of monsters sharply decreased to only 50.

But in terms of quality, there was a significant improvement.

All 50 monsters were Tier 1 elite monsters.

Although the number plummeted from 250 on the fifth day to 50, for most Lords, this was definitely a nightmare-level increase.

The offense and defense of a Tier 1 elite monster could rival a Tier 2 monster, and its health was ten times that of a Tier 1 monster!

If each monster siege only increased in quantity,

Then, as time went on, Lords who awakened Tier 1 Troops could endure by continuously upgrading their shelters and improving their tower defense capabilities.

However, historically, in every Newbie Assessment where Mythical-grade blueprints appeared, ninety-nine percent of the Lords who awakened Tier 1 Troops would be eliminated.

Only a very few lucky ones could survive.

Li Feng arrived at the castle's watchtower and calmly looked ahead.

These past few days, he only replenished the number of Beedrill to 1,000 and Ironclad Ant to 3,000, not summoning too many Troops.

He was not an undead or elemental Troops after all.

Food consumption became the biggest obstacle to his unlimited Troop generation.

However, as time went on, the food problem would gradually be resolved.

Li Feng could exchange his unneeded monster materials for food with other players.

It just wasn't possible right now.

At this stage, players' strength had not yet officially improved, and the food they acquired was only enough for their own use, with very little available for sale.

The War Fog silently appeared, enveloping Li Feng's territory.

Within the fog, figures quietly emerged.

[Goblin Warrior]

Race: Goblin Race

Tier: Tier 1 Elite

Level: 2

Health: 1100

Attack: 22

Defense: 11

Skills: Slash, Block

...The 100 monsters that appeared were, like yesterday, all Goblin Warrior.

The difference was that yesterday's 50 Goblin Warrior were all Level 1.

And the Goblin Warrior that appeared today were all Level 2, with a slight increase in strength.

With the Mist Tower present, these Goblin Warrior were like headless flies, unable to find Li Feng's territory.

Swish swish swish!

100 Flying Mantis moved out simultaneously, each landing near a Goblin Warrior.

The next moment, they simultaneously wielded their scythe-like forelimbs.

Damage exceeding 2000 instantly annihilated all Goblin Warrior.

[Your Troops killed a Goblin Warrior, your Troops gained a large amount of experience, you received Gold Coins * 10, Assessment Points + 20!]

[Your Troops killed a Goblin Warrior, your Troops gained a large amount of experience, you received Gold Coins * 10, Assessment Points + 20!]

[...]

“Congratulations, you are the first Lord in this district to kill all assessment monsters, taking 20 seconds, Assessment Points + 100.”

[You received rewards: Gold Coins * 10000, Tier 4 Gem * 1, Tier 4 Troops Blueprint * 1, Hero Recruitment Order * 1!]

...[Newbie Assessment Leaderboard]

First Place: Fang Song [Earth Bear God], Points: 10021

Second Place: Xiao Lin [Troll Lord], Points: 10006

Third Place: Wang Yan [Blazing Fire], Points: 9958

...Thirty-sixth Place: Li Feng [Calamity Controller], Points: 7657

...At the end of the fourth day, Li Feng's ranking was still in first place.

Starting from the fifth day, he began to be overtaken by others.

Now, he had already fallen to thirty-sixth place.

The difference between him and thirty-seventh place was only a few Assessment Points.

The leaderboard recorded the top 100 Lords by points, and over ninety percent of these Lords were Chosen One who had awakened Tier 6 Troops.

Only a few individual Lords had awakened Tier 5 Troops.

As for those below Tier 5 Troops, it was estimated that besides Li Feng, no one else could make it onto the list.

Li Feng glanced over.

He noticed that Sun Yun, the shy little girl who had steadily held third place for the first three days, had now fallen out of the top 50.

From her points, it could be deduced that the little girl had not destroyed any Lord Altar to this day.

All her points were gained by dutifully killing assessment monsters.

Li Feng could only shake his head in his heart at this.

In this dog-eat-dog world, kindness was not a virtue, but rather the foolishness of seeking one's own death...
