Chapter Ninety-Seven: Regional Exploration

There's a lot more to the detailed rules for the chaotic duel.

The more he understood, the more Cheng Shen understood why the invasion of the high-level Chaos Lord at the beginning would be easily countered by himself.

It's all due to strength limitations.

The team of the aggressor cannot outweigh the overall strength of the defender.

And this strength,

It refers to comprehensive combat strength.

At that time, his territory did not have a development score, and second, he was a weak chicken himself.

The combined combat power bonus on these two items is basically equal to 0.

The only thing that counts is the towers.

However, in the defense tower's combat power calculation system, the bonus value of the main tower accounts for most of the part.

Neither did he.

As a result, the Chaos Lord's attacks were limited at every turn.

He picked up a big bargain.

Swap it for now.

It won't be so easy for him to deal with.

His combined power is 567, and the Gate of Chaos allows the invader to send troops above 30% of this limit.

Equivalent.

The overall combat power level of the enemy attacking him will be able to reach 737!

You must know that this 737 is a pure offensive power, and the only combat power he can use to defend is 375 of the defensive tower.

The difference is almost doubled.

As long as the other party is not stupid and commands casually, it is enough for him to drink a pot.

However, the good news is that the first-order lord on the side of the Chaos camp is not yet so powerful, and even if it is the first place with a comprehensive combat power of 998, it is impossible to put together a combat force with a combat power of 737.

As long as it's not crushed.

With the Void Path and the means of control, he was still sure to hold it.

"It's a pity that we can't play against the same faction......"

Cheng Shen had some regrets.

He never thought of getting rid of the missionaries and others.

Trust the other party too.

……

He looked at the last authority.

Area exploration.

In front of him was a map of the entire area centered on his territory, except for his territory was lit, the entire map was pitch black, and in the darkness were marked with several eye-catching skulls.

He tried to point at one of the skulls.

【Gargoyle Land】

[Monster Info: ??? 】

【Difficulty:??? 】

【Unlock Rewards:??? 】

……

Except for one name, the rest are all question marks.

"This is where the indigenous forces that exist in the nearby area are located? I didn't expect the system to be so intimate, and I helped mark it out. I guess I'm also worried that the survivors are running around without a map and getting into trouble with weird ...... that shouldn't be messed with."

Cheng Shen thought.

He then deduced the location of each danger zone from the territory according to the scale of the map, and the nearest place was only about a kilometer, but the view was obscured by the woods, otherwise it could be seen.

The farthest point is only 3,000 meters.

This is also the largest extent included in the map.

[Collect Dark Forest Map Fragments: 1/7!] When all the maps are unlocked, you will receive special rewards! 】

……

"One in seven fragments has four dangerous exploration points, and you don't know how many enemies you have to encounter to collect the entire map."

Cheng Shen closes the map.

The opening up of area exploration and chaos is undoubtedly an important message for the system to the survivors.

In addition to building defensive towers.

Cultivating the combat units of the territory is also a top priority.

Without combat troops, no matter how strong the defense tower is, it is at best a toothless tiger.

It does not have the slightest deterrent effect on others.

"Building a territory and cultivating an army, there are too many places to invest after level five, and the resources on the market can support the development of less than one-tenth of the people at most, which may also be a disguised screening."

Cheng Shen fell into thought.

Suddenly, he understood the second meaning from the missionary's words.

Such a brutal survival rate is not only due to siege monsters and strange threats.

At the same time, it is also caused by the system's limited output of upfront resources.

The most obvious example.

Void Slate.

The amount of its output has shown that it was not intended to be accessible to all from the very beginning.

At present, all the stone slabs in the market add up to more than 400 pieces.

There is only one Chaos Hub.

And the survivors are:

3384 people.

How many people will eventually be able to build the Void Path?

Similarly.

How many people can be fed by other scarce resources?

Cheng Shen was silent.

The missionary once told him that the purpose of the system was to facilitate the creation of small groups such as the Alliance, and to cultivate elites who were most suitable for surviving in the last days based on harvesting the survival resources of other survivors.

This passage,

Cheng Shen actually never refuted.

It's just that the concept is different, Cheng Shen has his own bottom line of being a man, and he has indeed supported this bottom line to this point.

He doesn't need to exploit other people.

But now this cruel truth is in front of his eyes.

"Is there really no way to change it?"

Cheng Shen muttered softly.

He looked at the sky.

There was gradually a different brilliance in his eyes.

This moment.

A fire ignited in his heart.

This fire is not burning to keep more people alive.

Instead, he wants to use his own strength to change the fate of this kind of result set by the system.

"There must be another way to break the game!"

Cheng Shen suddenly became firm.

After all

This system seems to enjoy giving people multiple-choice questions.

……

Set aside the others beforehand.

Cheng Shen looks at the newly opened resource challenges and career challenges.

Same as he guessed.

The rules for these two challenges are completely different from those for the Gold Challenge.

Resource Challenges, which are equivalent to open copies of the system, allow survivors to form their own teams to explore.

A team is limited to five units.

However, the resource challenge is special in that it can only be challenged once a week, and this time is refreshed every Monday during the system time.

Today is Thursday.

In other words, Cheng Shen didn't have to rush in before twelve o'clock today, he had three days of ample time to prepare.

Career challenges, on the other hand, are the exact opposite of resource challenges.

You can take on a challenge at any time.

However, the challenge is limited to him alone, and it is a battle that tests the strength of the survivors themselves.

Its rewards are also very special.

Earn a large number of Skill Mastery Points for each battle.

The higher the number of challenge layers.

The more obvious the lift.

Cheng Shen thought of Zhang Yao as soon as he saw this challenge.

His Gold Challenge is similar to a career challenge, except I don't know what his other two challenges will look like.

You can take on the challenge at any time......

Cheng Shen became interested.

He didn't have to worry about his life in the Void Challenge.

A moderate amount of recklessness doesn't hurt at all.

He was about to put on his equipment, put on the Spinosaurus Shield, and chose to challenge.

Swish!

It's dark.

Cheng Shen suddenly came to an empty square.

The square was surrounded by a white mist.

Nothing.

It's very similar to the scene of the Gold Challenge.

As he observed, the light in front of him changed, and a figure dressed and looked exactly like him appeared, his eyes glazed with a drowsy look on his shoulder, carrying a blood-colored war hammer, and he rushed forward in a daze.

【The first level of the career challenge is open!】 】

[Number of dolls: 1!] 】

……

Mirroring Challenges?

Cheng Shen looked at the "self" rushing over from the opposite side, and instinctively wanted to get nervous, but found that he couldn't feel the slightest threat from the other party.

"Same equipment, same attributes, but ......"

"IQs are different."

Cheng Shen quickly observed.
