Chapter 977: 1. Phase One Rule Adjustment

Chapter 979 Phase 1.1 Rule Adjustments [Please subscribe]

The Dragon Eagle Knight returned to the evil energy monitoring post in the northern mountain forest.

Zong Shen believed they knew how to introduce themselves to the outpost managers.

As the size of the territory expanded, exposure to the indigenous people's vision was almost inevitable, and he only hoped to delay it for a few more months.

In the future, when he comes into contact with the nobles in charge of the giant city of Lentax, there will be countless ways to obtain legal territorial status.

After handling this matter, he returned directly to the bedroom in the Lord's Fortress.

Luna didn't go anywhere, she stayed in her room waiting for the baby in her belly to come to life.

Zong Shen knew that there would be no real changes until after six o'clock in the afternoon, when the rule update announcement appeared.

In fact, just three days after his arrival, when the novice period ended, he went through the process of updating the rules.

This move is probably because the lord system adjusts the rules to a limited extent according to the different stages of the development of the lords, which can be regarded as an optimization process.

So he wasn't worried. After returning to the bedroom, he comforted Luna and walked with her in the territory.

After wandering for two or three hours, he summoned the girls to the lobby on the first floor of the fortress.

Among them were Mariel and Vereesa.

The former has been in love with Zong Shen for a long time, but Zong was worried about her age and has not made a move.

The latter, Vereesa, was always in a state of hesitation and confusion.

She was sometimes alienated from Zong Shen and sometimes close to him. The contradiction was such that Zong Shen himself frowned and was unwilling to pick this ripe fruit.

On the surface, he was telling himself that Luo Ning was a respectable hero.

In fact, this reason is not sufficient.

Vereesa and he both understood that it might be difficult to see Luo Ning again in this life.

Because Luo Ning turned into a hero on the recruitment scroll and recruitment altar after his death, he may have been recruited by other lords. At least Zong Shen has not been exposed to related things until now, and the place where Luo Ning died is located in today's Within the Kingdom of Rhodok.

Rodok is far away from Avalon, and his related ruins and recruitment tools may also appear in that area.

He doesn't care about Luo Ning's recruitment or whether he belongs to Zong Shen.

This can be regarded as a tacit understanding between the two.

But the contradiction lies in the fact that Vereesa's feelings for Luo Ning have not been completely eliminated, and there is even a deep obsession lingering in her heart.

She also has extremely conflicting feelings for Zong Shen, coming from the charming call of full loyalty, from spending time together day and night during this period, and from the new hope she places on the Chosen Son...

This is the root cause of Vereesa's conflict.

She couldn't quickly forget Luo Ning, let alone face her feelings for Zong Shen.

However, she would not be absent from Zong Shen's side regardless of emotion or reason.

Now he can only let it go. After all, it is not time to put an end to this matter. Regarding Vereesa, Zong Shen will continue to dig out the relics related to her to unlock her qualifications and power.

The girls gathered together, including [Night Prayer Sophie] (the one who slept with the eternal sleep flower in the ruins of Azshara's sewer fortress).

She and Vereesa were old acquaintances, and Luna also got along well with her.

Ever since she was rescued from the underground ruins by Zong Shen, she has been silently observing this place. It still belongs to the third-party neutral ancient aborigines and has not yet joined the territory.

Therefore, she did not participate in the previous defensive challenge at all and stayed in the Endless Continent until the challenge was over.

Now that everything is restored, she naturally gets involved again.

Zong Shen doesn't reject her either, and plans to slowly capture her loyalty.

As an ancient elven hero, she has been sleeping for thousands of years through the [Eternal Sleeping Flower (Golden)], so her qualifications, strength, and talents have not been banned.

He can be regarded as an ancient hero in full condition.

Of course, her upper limit must be much lower than Vereesa. After all, the gap in status and background lies here.

Everyone was sitting at the long table, and Mariel, Tasia, and Aysia were busy in the kitchen.

There are dishes full of aroma on the table.

The main dish in the middle is a pot of beef stew with potatoes. The aroma of the soft beef is enough to make people drool.

The mellow wine was poured into crystal vessels, and everyone was chatting happily while eating and drinking.

After the intense challenge arrangement, Zong Shen finally experienced the rare leisure again.

Today is also his day off.

After these days of stress, he didn't want to go back to work in a hurry.

It doesn't matter if he rests for a day or two first. Anyway, in the next five months, there will be no challenges from the lord system. It is up to him to decide how to arrange it!

He planned to wait until tomorrow to pack up the props and items harvested during the challenge.

Then wait for noon for the reward settlement exclusive to him to arrive.

As we ate, drank, and chatted, time passed quickly.

The girls' laughter echoed in the house.

The territory is peaceful and peaceful.

Zong Shen asked the third fat man to distribute extra drinks to everyone today.

He had previously purchased a batch of spirits in Bangcheng.

A barrel of spirits was distributed to every fifty persons, and a picnic of cauldrons of stew was held.

After eating, drinking and resting, those who should take a nap and those who should gather to play cards are fine. The defensive buildings in the territory have not been moved yet. They are still one piece of iron barrels. Even the patrol troops can take a temporary rest.

Canigia, the favored one of the Wind Spirit God, received Zong Shen’s permission.

At this time, he was on the high tower of the Lord's Fortress.

There was a horn cup beside him, and the bright red wine was rippling in the breeze.

There was also a piece of homemade egg and bacon sandwich on the napkin, and he had already taken a big bite.

Kaginia himself was holding a drawing board, holding a palette and a brush, depicting the magnificent scenery of the territory.

He was so focused that he didn't even notice the paint on his face.

Tie Zhu and his lover Katerina were assigned to a separate double-story stone house.

They are snuggling together happily.

This is Zong Shen's preferential treatment to his old confidants.

Farvid followed Doris like a follower.

Judging from his submissive look, it is obvious that he has not completely won the heart of the beautiful woman. After all, Zong's charm comes first, and he has to work hard to attract her.

At the same time, whether they were farmers or soldiers, men and women began to have a clear tendency to interact with each other.

This is something Zong Shen is happy to see.

There are now many female residents in the territory, and they all serve as his harem, which is too much for someone in the sect.

Ancient emperors didn’t play like this!

All in all, the atmosphere in the territory after the challenge was quite relaxed and comfortable.

Time flies by in such an atmosphere.

Soon it was 18:00 in the evening.

Zong Shen leaned back on the bench, and the girls were still chatting.

When the white light instantly occupied his entire field of vision, Zong Shen understood that the announcement of a rule update was coming!

As the white light slowly faded away, he was in a time-stop state, and a light curtain appeared in front of him.

Lines of information jumped out.

【End of challenge period】

[The number of lords who meet the landing standards in this batch is 4367698529, the current number of survivors is 2402234191, and the comprehensive mortality rate is 44.9123~%]

[Congratulations to the surviving lords. After thirty days of arduous challenges, you have been able to advance to the next stage. I hope that in the future you will not forget your original aspirations, forge ahead, and create your own glory on this continent]

[The rules for the transition period 1.1 from Act 1 to Act 2 are adjusted as follows]

[Rule adjustment I: The first batch of lords challenge month has ended, there will be no relevant challenge content, and subsequent challenges accepted by lords will not affect the first batch of lords]

[Rule Adjustment II: Reduce 70% of the aboriginals’ attention to the first batch of lords. In the future, it will be easier for the aborigines to pay attention to the first batch of lords]

[Rule adjustment III: Gradually 5% of the mainland process evolution script, releasing the corresponding contradictions in the suppression, please pay attention to the situation of the indigenous people]

[Rule Adjustment IV: Restore vital/weak point attacks. Damage will be calculated separately for limbs and corresponding weak points. When the damage sustained reaches a certain value, the body damage effect will be triggered, and a part of one's own corresponding attributes will be reduced at the same time]

[Rule Adjustment Ⅴ: Restore fatal/lethal attacks. After causing high damage to different fatal positions of different ethnic groups and species, all health points will be cleared at once. The specific situation depends on the species. Some ethnic groups and species have Characteristics of immunity to death]

[Rule adjustment VI: Adjust the health value recovery setting. The health value recovery is linked to the injury recovery by 80%. Injuries such as broken limbs and body injuries require strong healing effects to recover.]

[Rule adjustment VII: Various healing skills and items will be divided into two types: 'strong healing' and 'universal healing'. You can check the details by yourself]

[Rule adjustment VIII: Open the skill learning ability of lords and subjects under their command. Some skills can be learned and mastered through teaching if the corresponding attributes are met. This rule also applies to subjects]

[Rule Adjustment IX: Restore some of the natural desires of the subjects, and the loyalty rules will remain unchanged for the time being. Related adjustments may have a series of impacts, so please note]

[Rule Adjustment Does not have lord privileges]

[Rule adjustment Ⅺ: Hunger and satiety adjustment. Food of the same quality and quantity can restore hunger and satiety to targets of different sizes and attributes no longer the same. You can check the details by yourself]

[The relevant rules have been adjusted. One hundred and fifty days later, please welcome the arrival of the second batch of lords]

…

The rules subtitles are very long, listing a total of eleven new adjusted rules.

Including the free love and reproduction of the people, as well as the rules for nurturing the vitality of the next generation.

The citizens will not be like robots, and their original desires of nature will be partially released, so that they will not be unbridled in the past, nor will they be dull. If they are loyal, there will be no unrest. It is a relatively mild kind. Gradual evolution.

In addition, in the future, the lord system will greatly reduce the protection of the first batch of lords.

For example, it obscures the indigenous people's insight and attention to the appearance of the lord.

It will even start a 5% evolution of the continental process, unblocking various conflicts among some indigenous people that have been suppressed by the lord system, which means that the situation among the indigenous people will be further turbulent.

From now on, attacks on key points and weak points will appear, which means that future battles will no longer involve going up and slashing wildly, but can instead carry out specialized attacks targeting weaknesses!

And even fatal injuries appeared.

For example, if Zong Shen cuts off a human enemy's head.

There is no need to rigidly clear his health points to kill him instantly.

Of course, some ethnic groups are not affected by this situation, such as those who can get things without a head. This needs to be treated on a case-by-case basis!

The next rule adjustment also involves changes to the hunger and satiety level. Guys with strong attributes like Zong Shen need to eat more food to fill their stomachs.

The demand for food is no longer only affected by body size, but also by changes in individual strength.

The stronger you are, the greater your demand for food will be.

Of course, you can either choose to eat high-level food to quickly restore your hunger and satiety, or you can eat a lot of low-level ordinary food to make up for it.

The healing effect is also divided into two types: strong and normal, which can restore different injuries. For example, a broken limb must rely on the "strong healing" effect to recover.

The last thing that needs to be emphasized is learning ability.

Whether you are a lord or a citizen, as long as your attributes meet the requirements, you can master some skills, such as sword attack skills, corresponding magic, etc.

Those unique and special skills should not be learned.

The above rule adjustments cover almost all aspects.

It can be said that it further reduces the sense of virtuality of the lords, making their future life more real.

Eliminating the sense of illusion caused by lord's privileges, related concealment and protection, and semi-digitalization, this is not a game, but a new life.

The announcement subtitles existed for more than ten minutes before slowly dissipating.

The time-stop effect ended immediately, and the noise of the girls chatting returned to his ears.

But before Zong Shen stood up and announced something, Luna sitting next to him suddenly let out an exclamation!

"ah!"

This sound instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"vitality!"

"I feel alive!"

"It's my child!"

Her eyes instantly filled with tears.

He stared down at his still flat stomach.

Zong Shen was startled, then stretched out his hand to touch it gently.

The girls also came forward and carefully touched her belly.

"We can also give birth to children for adults!"

"Have lots of babies!"

…

After all the fuss and celebration, the time came unknowingly at night.

There is no need to go into details about the rule changes.

Because Zong Shen found that the changes in the rules were subtle to the people.

Zong Shen and Luna returned to the room. After feeling the vitality of the child in her belly, Luna went to bed early. The worries in her heart were swept away and she felt much better.

But Zong couldn't sleep. He was waiting for midnight to arrive.

That’s when the challenge point rankings will be announced.

And it was also the time when most lords settled their rewards. Although the settlement of his rewards would be delayed for 12 hours, it did not prevent him from paying attention to the ranking of the lords.

Another point is that the rewards of the [Territory Ranking] will also be distributed at the same time!
