Global Lords: I Have Information System

Let Marie keep an eye out, maybe we’ll gain something. Anyway, the territory is currently not lacking in money or resources.

Zong Shen chatted with Marie for a while longer, discussing some matters regarding the development of the territory.

Currently, in terms of population size, the territory has reached the standard of a village-level unit.

However, from the perspective of trade, economy, agriculture, mobile population, and territorial influence, the territory is still at the stage of a large settlement.

The next step in development will focus on these aspects.

Once this round of challenges ends, Master Mars will start building pastures and the merchant team will begin to circulate, resolving many of the issues.

Moreover, these lord challenges are one of the reasons that restrict the normal development of the territory.

According to the rules stated at the end of the newbie stage, it seems there will be a defense challenge on the thirtieth day after landing, after which there will be a period of development without challenges.

Months with weekly challenges are referred to as ”Challenge Month.”

Each Challenge Month consists of three weekly challenges and one defense challenge.

They are exercises and trials for all lords.

In fact, one must persist through challenges time after time to continue surviving.

Everyone’s strength will indeed see a noticeable improvement.

It’s not just the rewards from points exchange, but also the experience gained from dealing with various crisis events and battles.

Maintaining a certain level of pressure is necessary to give everyone the motivation to fight tenaciously.

So now Zong Shen can only choose to go with the flow and strive to successfully complete each challenge.

Endeavor to acquire more points and enhance strength during challenges.

He already has a clear plan for the territory’s development path in his mind.

However, it’s necessary to combine and adjust the ideal plan with reality to some extent.

While the two were conversing, noon arrived at twelve o’clock.

This signifies that the Frosty Winter Challenge has reached its midpoint, with the second phase of Frosty Winter formally entering the latter half.

At this time tomorrow, the 24-hour continuous third phase of Frosty Winter will begin.

The white light once again filled the vision without warning.

Once the light dissipated, the state of Time Stop appeared as usual.

Marie in front of him remained in a stalled state, her eyes still looking at Zong Shen.

The world was silent, without a hint of sound.

Lines of system subtitles began to emerge.

[Frosty Winter Challenge has opened for 48 hours, opening temporary points exchange mall]

[Items that can be exchanged in each exchange mall during this challenge will be different]

[Duration: 30 minutes]

[After the announcement ends, a 10-minute exclusive exchange time with Time Stop will be provided to all lords]

[Please remember that every effort made in this world will be rewarded]

The first section exchange for the Frosty Winter Challenge opened as scheduled.

It’s uncertain if there will be any new categories in the points mall for this challenge round.

Zong Shen opened the [Frosty Winter Points] option, where a [Points Exchange] sub-option appeared.

From yesterday to today, Zong Shen killed a total of 32 Frosty Snow Beasts, which alone earned him 32,000 points.

Additionally, there was the basic survival points for the first phase, 1,200 points for 24 hours, and the second phase’s 1,800 points for 24 hours.

This means Zong Shen currently has a total of 35,000 points.

These points are the total he can use in this temporary points exchange.

Disregarding the countdown timer beside him, he directly opened [Points Exchange].

A series of light screen interfaces unfolded, this time revealing only four major options.

[Resource Materials], [Special Items], [Support Items], [Points Blind Box]

These four options are different from the exchange options during the Burrow Challenge.

[Weapon Equipment] and [Defense Blueprint] were both removed, with [Special Items] added.

Furthermore, the original [Points Lottery] has turned into a Points Blind Box.

Essentially, it has not changed, only the method has.

This challenge does not have the immense pressure of monster sieges like in the Burrow Challenge.

Therefore, accordingly, no [Defense Blueprint] exchanges were provided.

As for the removal of the [Weapon Equipment] category, it should be the Lord System adjusting the direction for lords’ strength enhancement.

As usual, Zong Shen first opened [Resource Materials], where the exchange ratio remained unchanged.

Even the types did not change, still consisting of the common resources.

It’s the same for the Rune category, consisting of the common Five Elemental Materials of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Not to mention the rare types of Time and Space, even elemental runes like Arcane, Frost, Undead, Holy Light, Wind Spirit, and Thunder were not provided for exchange.

All the magic runes within the five elements are Basic, each with a purchase limit of 30 pieces, with an exchange price still at 25 points per piece.

Additionally, there are Basic Magic Gemstones within the common five elements, with each type limited to 10 pieces for exchange at a price of 50 points per piece.

Zong Shen doesn’t care about the other materials, but it is necessary to stock up some magic runes and magic gemstones this time since these are frequently used magic materials for buildings.

They’ll be useful for the subsequent establishment of a Rune Magic Array and in Magic Energy Technology.

So Zong Shen decisively spent 3,750 points to exchange 30 pieces of each of the five elements’ Basic Runes.

Then he spent another 2,500 points to exchange all of the five elements’ Basic Magic Gemstones.

This batch of magic materials can alleviate to some extent the imbalance in the territory’s resource reserves.

After spending 6,250 points, Zong Shen had 28,500 points remaining.

He focused on [Special Items], which was a brand new category, in hopes of finding some good items.

Upon opening this category, the first thing that came into view was a row of limited purchase items, both orange and purple, each of which was quite valuable.

[Type V Goblin Bomb] exchange price 1,200 points.

[Magic Energy Exploration Drill] exchange price 1,000 points.

[Tier Four Group Holy Light Healing Spell Scroll] exchange price 500 points.

[Tier Five Lightning Storm Spell Scroll] exchange price 1,000 points.

[Blood Fang Werewolf Mark] exchange price 600 points.

[Skill Experience Book (Purple)] exchange price 500 points.

[Magic Interference Device (Orange)] exchange price 2,000 points.

[Tier Five Eye of True Sight Spell Scroll] exchange price 800 points.

...

The types of these special items were numerous, including magic items, spell scrolls, alchemy products, and magic energy products; most were one-time use items except those magic energy mechanisms.

From high tier to low tier items were available, but those higher than purple tier were limited to 1 to 3 pieces.

This made Zong Shen somewhat dazzled by the choices.

He carefully examined them and ultimately selected a batch of items.

[Type II Goblin Bomb] ×10, [Type III Goblin Bomb] ×5, [Type IV Goblin Bomb] ×3, [Type V Goblin Bomb] ×1.

These goblin bombs are high-quality items, and Zong Shen bought each type to its limit.

This cost him a total of 7,800 points, among which the Type II Goblin Bomb was the same type he had obtained from Boswell earlier, with an exchange price of only 200 points. Sadly, it had a purchase limit, otherwise, Zong Shen would exchange more.

The larger the ordinal number prefix on the bomb, the greater the power and tier.

The Type V, in particular, boasts terrifying power.

[Type V Goblin Bomb]

[Quality: Legendary Level]

[Drop Bomb, pull the fuse for deployment and detonation]

[Explosion Damage: 1,000 points]

[Explosion Range: 60 meters]

[Note, the bomb’s damage ignores friend or foe]

[Passive Skill: Blast lv20 (causes 3.0 times explosion damage on buildings within range)]

(Explosion is art)

Indeed, the explosion damage of this thing is as high as 1,000 points!

The explosion range even reaches 60 meters in diameter, equivalent to an area of 11,304 square meters.

Zong Shen had previously experienced the power of goblin bombs.

These damage attributes are worthy of the orange tier, with the power even superior to typical Tier Five group magic!
