Global Lords: I Have Information System-Chapter 365 - 295: Odu Village’s Tunnel Key, The Final Challenge

At the same time, this time Zong Shen managed to kill the Abyssal Worm, along with the Charge of the Burden-Bearer Mecha and the part of the Extraction Value obtained before. This time, Zong Shen altogether accumulated enough for two times 1500 points of Extraction Value and obtained 2 points of Strength Attribute Bonus.

His Strength Attribute reached 83 points, and Life Value also reached 1233. Grasping the tail end of the Burrow Challenge benefits, he frantically collected Wool. If not now, then when?

Right next to this battlefield, there was a medium-scale Territory ruin. All soldiers and the Lord died amidst the Burrow Monster Swarm, and the Territory buildings were completely destroyed. Fortunately, the resources in the Territory Storage Box could still be transferred as inherited relics.

Zong Shen had already accepted all of them, including more than three thousand pieces of wood, stone, hemp, and basic resources, as well as materials and some food.

Aside from these were some damaged Whiteboard and Excellent-level Equipment, but nothing too precious.

On the ground were several broken stone slabs, with traces of Magic Inscriptions on them, resembling fragments of a Magic Array Disc that had collapsed after overload.

In the face of life and death crisis, no Lord holds back, they basically use all means, putting out all their cards, blocking life and unable to block death. The result is straightforward, the fall of this Lord explains everything.

Hoping to get something good from it is simply wishful thinking.

The relics in the Storage Box, aside from some resources, are basically junk equipment in a dilapidated state, along with miscellaneous items.

Just now, Zong Shen was busy fighting and only took a rough glance. Now that the battle is over, he obviously has time to sort out the items he obtained previously.

First, he put away the Burden-Bearer Mecha, then took out a bucket of flatbread acquired from the secret base of the Calamity Raven Church, along with a few barrels of stream water previously stored.

He distributed them to the Warriors, then took out sixteen pieces of dried meat to distribute to the Giant Wolf and Black Panther.

He also gave Pigsy seven or eight apples, all purchased earlier from Odu Village, specially brought for Pigsy today as lunch.

Finally, he left a piece of flatbread for himself and sat down on the ground.

As he munched on the flatbread, he began to examine the assorted items obtained from the destroyed poor Lord's Territory.

After a round of inspection, Zong Shen felt a bit disappointed; indeed, they were all junk. However, among them was one item of some interest.

It was a plain brass key, simple in design, with nothing particularly special.

[Odu Village Tunnel Key (Special)]

[Key to open the Odu Village Tunnel]

(Under Odu Village, there is a tunnel. The entrance is within the village, and the exit is 1.7 km outside the village to the northwest, under an old tree. This tunnel is the village's secret passage and leads to the storage basement within the village. There are ten keys in total, originally held by the elders and prominent figures in the village; this is one of them, misplaced outdoors and found by this Lord.)

This place is southeast of Odu Village, tens of kilometers away. Finding this key could be considered this Lord's luck.

Of course, without annotations, this Lord couldn't possibly know the exact entrance of the tunnel. The system information they saw was quite brief, unlike Zong Shen's detailed view, which is precisely the advantage provided by the strategy hint.

The item information Zong Shen saw was completely different from what other Lords saw. Other Lords saw information that was barely a placeholder version, with the most accurate info likely being only the rough name of the item. However, the item information Zong Shen saw was a totally luxurious enhanced version, including detailed descriptions of its functions and even various background relations explained clearly.

He put away this key; it might be useful when he strategizes Odu Village later. It's always good to have a contingency, and carrying it won't cost him a Storage Grid.

Apart from this key, the rest of the items were true waste, mainly consisting of low-quality wild monster materials and some flashy items, like large underpants. Anything useful in battle had already been used.

Zong Shen disposed of some of the garbage, keeping the remainder to bring back to the Territory.

While sorting items, he ended up eating most of the flatbread, since these flatbreads were army provisions, each quite substantial. Luna just sat quietly beside him, accompanying him.

Black Panther ate a piece of dried meat, lazily lying on the ground, licking its paws, appearing cold and limited. The Warriors were basically sitting on the ground, and the Wolf Cavalry used their mounts as cushions, resting directly against the Giant Wolf after eating and drinking their fill.

Mage sat cross-legged on the grass, starting Meditation, while Madeleine and Mapple, the Ranger Sisters, eagerly walked behind Zong Shen, kneeling on one knee on either side to unlock his Battle Armor and start providing him with attentive shoulder and back massages.

After a period of integration, Zong Shen's Territory was becoming increasingly harmonious.

"Ugh..."

Zong Shen let out a satisfied groan; after a busy half-day, the massage was just right.

The sisters' hands might not be large, but their massage technique was quite spot-on, giving a tingly feedback from the neck, shoulders, and back muscles, making Zong Shen feel blissful, almost about to float away.

"This is the sort of life a fitting Lord should lead!"

If any other Lord saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked, their eyes almost popping out.

This was a time when Burrow Monsters were rampaging collectively, and other Lords wished they could hide away, but Zong Shen was the opposite, leisurely enjoying the massage service by the two Tier Three Ranger Sisters.

The contrast was just too stark. Just as Zong Shen comfortably enjoyed the massage, a white flash appeared in front of his eyes. After the white light disappeared, everything around him froze. Zong Shen could see the dust floating in the sunlight staying still in mid-air.

The Time Stop moment appeared once more.

It is not unexpected; by now, it should be noon at twelve o'clock sharp.

This point is a node, when Lords descended was at noon twelve o'clock; later the end of the Newbie Stage, the start of the Burrow Challenge, was also at this time.

Strings of subtitles began to appear floating in front of Zong Shen's eyes.

[Burrow Challenge initiated 144 hours ago, there are 24 hours left until the challenge ends]

[The final challenge phase will be entered next]

[In 18 hours, around the nearby 3-kilometer range of the Territory of the Lord with the most cumulative Points obtained since the challenge began, a Regional Challenge Boss will be randomly refreshed. This Boss has low proactive attack intent but will attract monsters from the entire region. Also, each Regional Challenge Boss has a fixed Life Value Limit of 50 million points, 80 points of Armor, and Magic Resistance]

[All regional Lords will receive the Regional Challenge Boss's refresh location and path guidance 3 hours in advance, will be forcibly entered into ally status, unable to attack each other, and receive movement speed bonus for support and support path guidance. Burrow Monsters will congregate to the Boss's refresh location 3 hours in advance as well]

[Only need to persist and survive for 6 hours, the challenge ends, and there will be extra challenge settlement rewards based on all participating Lords' accumulated damage to the Regional Challenge Boss]

[During the final challenge, Points can still be normally acquired for killing Burrow Monsters and Burrow Heroes. If any region can kill the Regional Challenge Boss, special regional rewards will be granted]

[Final challenge is a shared regional challenge; all Lords must make every effort to respond]

[Countdown: 18 hours: 00 minutes: 00 seconds]

[This Time Stop will last for 3 minutes]

The content of the final challenge has finally appeared!

Unexpectedly, it was outside Zong Shen's prior anticipation, yet in the realm of plausible scenarios!
