The World Online

The part that made everyone feel helpless was that the cold winter up north had come as expected.

Chun Shenjun and Di Chen only had an extremely small amount of time left. Moreover, if the matter dragged on, when the winter season arrived, they definitely would not be able to use troops.

If that happened, the Zhangchu Regime could escape unscathed. Who knows what kind of changes would occur in the wilderness in the new year.

At the last part of their conversation, Ouyang Shuo looked at Zhang Yi and half-jokingly half-seriously said, “Next year, The Honglu Temple will take center stage. I expect good things from all of you.”

”We will not let you down, Lord!”

Zhang Yi made a solemn promise; he was serious and emotional.

….

Gaia 2nd year, 12th month, 29th day, a system notification sounded out in the entire China region.

”System Notification: The first information piece, Rising Up, has officially come out for a year. At this one year anniversary, the contributions of the various Lords toward wiping out the uprising armies will be collated, and rewards will be given out. For the specific details, players please take a look for yourselves!”

……

The moment the announcement sounded out, the players started buzzing.

Only now did everyone know that apart from the reward they obtained from destroying the uprising army, there was also a chance for a year end reward. How would this matter not make other players, especially adventure gamemode players, red with envy?

Such a reward method was similar to the battle map model.

Gaia would calculate contribution values based on the contribution of the Lords in attacking the four uprising armies. After which, Gaia would turn these values into merit points to decide the final reward.

At the same time, those that had the top three values would also receive a special reward.

Gaia would directly pass the special reward to them and would not release the specifics to the public. One must know that the champion, second, and third rewards had a tier difference for each subsequent position.

Ouyang Shuo opened the rankings for the year end reward to take a look.

Position- Name- Merit Points

1st: Qiyue Wuyi - 85000 points

2nd: Di Chen - 75000 points

3rd: Zhan Lang - 68000 points

4th: Xiong Ba - 55000 points

5th: Bai Hua - 30000 points

6th: Chun Shenjun - 27000 points

7th: Wandering Magic - 25000 points

8th: Earth-shaker - 20000 points

9th: 10-tailed Dark Fox - 18000 points

10th: Yu Diao - 15000 points

As expected, since Shanhai City had basically taken down the entire Taiping Country alone, they had once again achieved the top spot.

85 thousand merit points were equivalent to the reward received from a single battle map.

Followed closely behind was Di Chen, who had led the Jingdou Region Alliance Army to destroy Huangjin. If he did not lead the alliance army, with his highly efficient method, his contribution points would definitely exceed Ouyang Shuo’s.

In third place was Zhan Lang, who had led the alliance army to attack the Huangchao Uprising Army. In the end, he had worked together with Xiong Ba to destroy the Qi Country that Huangchao had built up.

And Zhan Lang’s ally, Xiang Ba, had placed fourth.

As for Bai Hua, Chun Shenjun, and Piao Linghuan, they had not done a lot, so they filled up the fifth to seventh spots.

After the seventh spot, there were no more Lords from the Yanhuang Alliance or the Shanhai Alliance. Be it Feng Qiuhuang, Xunlong Dianxue, Gong Chengshi, Sha Pojun, or Feng Qingyang, they were all simply onlookers in the battle against the peasant uprising.

Three dark horses had taken the last three spots on the rankings. Ouyang Shuo guessed that these three were from Di Chen, Zhan Lang, or Xiong Ba’s alliance army.

From the rankings, one could say that the Shanhai Alliance had definitely lost. Only Ouyang Shuo and Bai Hua got on the board. The Yanhuang Alliance, on the other hand, had five people, taking up half of the spots.

Apart from that, the last three were allies of the Yanhuang Alliance.

It would not be farfetched to call this a total defeat for the Shanhai Alliance.

If Ouyang Shuo did not grab the top spot, without this covering cloth, the face of the Shanhai Alliance would have been lost.

Before this, Ouyang Shuo already had an inkling. These rankings showed the weakness of the Shanhai Alliance to the rest of the world.

Toward this matter, Ouyang Shuo could only let out a long sigh.

Just at this moment, a system notification sounded out in his ear.

”System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for contributing greatly toward wiping out the peasant uprising in the 2nd year of Gaia. You are given one special reward, please choose!”

Instantly, a virtual screen appeared in front of him, listing ten prizes.

1. 20000 merit points

2. 1 x special buildings blueprint

3. 50000 gold

4. 1 x king rank true cultivation method

5. 1 x extra chance to make use of a hidden building

6. 1 x technical manual

7. 1 x special item

8. 1 x dark gold equipment

9. 1 x raise reputation points by one hundred thousand

10. 1x random prize

Seeing such great rewards, Ouyang Shuo drooled.

If one did not know better, they would have thought that this was a small-scale system auction.

”When did Gaia become so generous?”

Just as Ouyang Shuo was getting drunk on the moment, a system notification suddenly sounded out.

”System Notification: Player can choose three prizes as the final reward, please choose!”

”....”

Black lines instantly appeared on his face, Gaia ah, do you really have to play with people’s feelings like that?

He got happy for nothing.

Human nature was truly a curse!

It seems like the second place could choose two, and the third place could only choose one. Who knows whether the ten choices they had were the same as his.

Three out of ten, Ouyang Shuo really had to give this matter some thought.

”Can I use an elimination method?” Ouyang Shuo asked.

”Yes!”

”Hmm, gold, and reputation points are useless. I’ll remove them first.”

It was not easy to have such a great chance, so Ouyang Shuo obviously would not choose such common items.

Instantly the third and ninth choice disappeared from the screen.

”The king rank cultivation method and the dark gold equipment are too low grade, remove them.”

For him to say such words, was he really not afraid that other players would gang up on him and beat him up?

Every single one of these items were top grade existences to other players. However, in his eyes, they were just dirt.

If you compare with others, you would only grow annoyed.

Luckily, Gaia did not have such emotions, and with a shua! sound, the fourth and eighth choices disappeared.

There were only six choices remaining, and he could only choose half of them.
