Global Lords: I Have Information System-Chapter 353 - 289: Challenge Status, Bad News Travels Fast

This kind of cooperation has already started to appear within the region, especially with the activation of the [Legion] function, which essentially establishes a platform and foundation for cooperation among lords.

It is much more reliable than the spontaneous cooperative relationships established by lords before.

In summary, the entire burrow challenge is a very balanced activity.

It not only places immense pressure on the lords, increasing the difficulty of developing territories, but also provides a points exchange system, allowing the killing of burrow monsters to yield rewards.

Furthermore, the strength of both sides is actually quite balanced. In a fully populated region with 10,000 lords descending, on average, you can encounter a lord every three to four square kilometers, and each region has 1,000 burrows. The initial ratio is 10 to 1, even after the initial days of casualties, it can still reach a ratio of 8 to 1.

Each burrow refreshes 2,400 burrow monsters daily, equivalent to 16,800 monsters over seven days. On average, eight lords only need to eliminate 2,100 monsters within the seven days of the activity, translating to 300 monsters per day to just eliminate all of the burrow monsters in the entire region.

However, the disparity in overall lord strength, combined with the distribution of the burrows, means this literal data cannot be achieved. Many lords, due to their location and density reasons, might only be able to kill one or two hundred heads a day.

There are even times when no monsters are encountered, and a lord can kill just ten to twenty a day, which is not unheard of.

Of course, there are also dominant lords who can kill a thousand or several thousand heads daily, so the overall disparity in conditions leads to a disparity in results.

From the current situation, a significant portion of the lords kill numbers below the average line, and this number of lords far exceeds the number of dominant lords, which is why a large number of burrow monsters haven't been killed, gradually aggregating into monster swarms.

You can even still find some level one burrow monsters from the first day's refresh in the monster swarms now, a result that aligns with the pyramid model theory.

The part of the lords forming the pyramid base comprises the majority, and most of these lords have kill numbers below the daily average. The further up you go, the fewer the lords who kill more, until you reach the tip of the pyramid.

Meanwhile, it also reflects the principle of survival of the fittest. Although this event is for everyone and non-discriminatory, among the lords eliminated by the burrow monster swarms, most are also those of the weaker type. However, it does not exclude some capable but unlucky lords who encountered massive burrow monster swarms and perished.

Situations where one can blame or credit luck are always few and far between.

Zong Shen has already clearly grasped the current state of the burrow challenge, and now it's a matter of seeing what new tricks will appear in the final challenge. If nothing too significant appears, Zong Shen will continue steadily hunting until the end of the burrow challenge to accumulate more points and [Basic Challenge Tokens].

Just considering the points from this challenge, exchanged into various resources, is a considerable sum. After going through the burrow challenge, Zong Shen's development speed has at least doubled.

Now, it's just waiting for the challenge to end, to recruit heroic-level talents and fundamental population. To solve this issue as fast as possible, he would need to tap into native forces.

As Zong Shen was piloting the Burden-Bearer Mecha, making a presence in the monster swarm, a lord a few hundred meters to the north with fourteen warriors was observing the situation here.

Among these fourteen warriors, there were eight wolf cavalry, one Holy Light Priest, two Earth Mages, and three Aaron Tier Three Dragon Descendant Swordsmen.

Besides the wolf cavalry, everyone was riding grassland horses, indicating that this fellow's foundation was quite solid. Most importantly, like Medina back then, this guy can spare resources to send small teams actively out while ensuring the defense of the territory.

The leading lord appeared to be a few years older than Zong Shen, wearing a metal half helmet, with an armor made of shell, wielding a longbow and a short sword.

At this time, he was somewhat shocked, watching Zong Shen's team perform.

When he saw Zong Shen's fully equipped warriors, his eyes unconsciously revealed a greedy look, even swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

"My goodness! I never thought such a character existed in the region."

"With a total team of no more than thirty people, they are crashing into such a large-scale burrow monster swarm."

"Simply incredible!"

Then he saw Zong Shen piloting the Burden-Bearer Mecha among the monster swarm, and his eyes glinted with an unusual light.

He recognized it as a goblin mecha because his territory was near the mountain outpost goblin merchant camp in the north.

He had dealt with those goblins before, making some small transactions. The goblins had plenty of good things, but their prices were exorbitant.

He had also seen the Burden-Bearer Mecha before and even inquired about the price. The other party offered a sky-high price, as this thing actually cost 80,000 Mainland Continent Universal Dinars. Knowing its quality was only excellent level, and it also required magic energy.

Thus, he had a deep impression of the Burden-Bearer Mecha, and now he could immediately recognize that Zong Shen was piloting a Burden-Bearer Mecha.

Just this Burden-Bearer Mecha alone was enough to illustrate how wealthy Zong Shen was.

He couldn't see Zong Shen's name from this distance, but only lords could see burrow monsters, so the other party couldn't be an indigenous person.

"Let's go, let's meet them..."

"Hmm...let's make friends with them..."

He waved his hand, saying softly, emphasizing the word "friends."

The team of a dozen or so people walked toward Zong Shen's rear. As they got closer, within tens of meters, they were quickly discovered.

Luna, leading three female hunters, proactively blocked their way, raising her Moon Blade, stopping them about twenty meters ahead.

"There is a battle going on ahead, state your purpose!"

Luna said unceremoniously, meeting strangers at this juncture was not a good omen.

After all, they were now in an advantageous position, with not a bit of elimination, and did not need anyone else's support.

"Beautiful Elf Race lady, my name is Wang Xuan, and I am also a lord."

"Do you need any help?"

Wang Xuan smiled upon seeing Luna and the three female hunters beside her.

Smiling politely, he slightly bowed courteously.

"Thank you, we do not need assistance."

"Please leave, sir, to avoid being caught in the battle."

Luna said neither humble nor arrogant, not changing her attitude.

At this moment, Zong Shen, piloting the Burden-Bearer Mecha, just finished a charge through the monster swarm.

Seeing this group of suddenly appearing lords, he couldn't help but steer the Burden-Bearer Mecha toward them.

The lord named Wang Xuan saw the Burden-Bearer Mecha approaching, his smile widened, indicating the approaching Zong Shen with a pointed finger.

"Beautiful Elf Race lady, don't be in a hurry to reject me."

"I think your lord might be interested in cooperating with me."

As Zong Shen approached, Wang Xuan could now see Zong Shen's name and identification information.

Hearing his words, Luna turned to glance back, silently leading the female hunters to step back a few paces.

Soon, Zong Shen arrived in front of him, piloting the Burden-Bearer Mecha.

Braking into a side stop between Wang Xuan and Luna, Zong Shen scrutinized Wang Xuan, yet did not exit the cockpit.

Wang Xuan didn't mind, dismounted from his grassland horse willingly, approaching the cockpit and reaching out his right hand toward Zong Shen.

"Hello, Lord Zong, my name is..."

Before he could finish, Zong Shen interrupted, not extending his hand to shake.

"Bad news really travels fast, I recognize you, Wang Xuan!"
