“This Trial Land is…”
“Those guys in the channel are really tight-lipped!”
Lin Yi leaned his hands on the windowsill, overlooking the tide of his people pouring out, silently complaining.
Even with accelerated thinking, he couldn't finish reading all the Lord's textbooks in just one or two days.
The points trial should be basic knowledge that all Lords implicitly know.
As a result, when the trial truly arrived, he had no preparation at all.
Fortunately.
His people had extremely strong mobilization capabilities; at least they didn't lose at the starting line.
Due to the large number of points materials falling from the sky,
They could be found everywhere within a hundred meters of the territory.
Looking beyond the city wall, many of his people were already rushing back, holding various glowing items in their hands.
“Li Tiedan, stop right there! I saw that pink flower first!”
A bald villager with thick eyebrows and large eyes, his face flushed, ran as fast as he could, two points plants tucked under his armpit, his right hand desperately reaching forward.
“Hehe, what's the use of seeing it? The key is who gets it first!”
The latter shrank his back, easily dodging the other's outstretched fingers, and then raised his hands to show off his spoils: four glowing points materials.
As he stepped through the city gate, the materials in his hands vanished like bubbles.
The big bald man followed closely behind, gnashing his teeth in anger, “Damn it! If I don't win against you in points collection today, I'll eat my name!”
“Oh, oh, you're two points behind and still want to win against me!”
Li Tiedan provocatively stuck out his pinky finger, grinning, “I'm just afraid you don't have the ability!”
After speaking.
He no longer bothered with the bald man, turned and left the territory, continuing to search for points materials.
“Roar—”
Suddenly!
A low growl mixed with the sound of wind came.
The bald man caught sight of the green light points appearing in the darkness and rejoiced, “Beasts attacking the territory, killing them also gives points, right?”
He thought it was a wonderful idea.
The voice from behind him was like a bucket of cold water, making him sober up.
“Hey, hey, Red Tassel Army is on duty; those whose strength hasn't reached Tier 2, quickly get out of the way!”
A Huang, who had been promoted to captain, was followed by a 20-person long spear soldier squad.
Crossing the city gate, he urged the big bald man, “These are at least Level 9 fierce beasts, and there are even Tier 2 magic beasts among them. If you don't want to die, stay far away!”
Only then did the big bald man realize what was happening.
He hadn't changed professions; he was just a Level 6 ordinary villager.
Fighting ordinary beasts was fine.
Encountering fierce beasts meant almost certain death.
“Thanks, Brother Huang! I'll go around and collect materials!” The big bald man repeatedly thanked him and chased after Li Tiedan's direction.
“It's all contribution points…”
A Huang held his long spear, lowering his body, his eyes' white rings gradually brightening as he firmly locked onto the trial fierce beasts in the darkness, leading his team to slowly creep forward.
Until the opponent entered the chaseable range.
“Go! Don't let them run!”
A Huang's thighs tensed, and he sprang into action, reaching a fierce beast lurking in the bushes in a few breaths.
The latter hadn't even reacted to how it was discovered.
What greeted it was a gleaming, sharp spear blade.
The cold spear tip pierced its throat!

Points notifications flooded the screen like a waterfall.
Lin Yi also curiously opened the leaderboard.

【Trial Points Overall Ranking】
Not yet updated, please wait patiently.

On the list, all Lords' points were surging.
However, compared to Lin Yi, it was a drop in the bucket, not worth mentioning.
And as time passed,
Lin Yi's points advantage was like a snowball, unstoppable, growing larger and larger!
“Over 300 points?? This is too exaggerated.”
“The top three on the list are all monsters! I struggle to even deal with two trial beasts; I don't know if I can make it back alive.”
“Lin Yi has already broken through 500 points, and the gap with the 2nd place has widened again. This, damn, the New King of Blue Star is completely without suspense!”
“Nonsense! His strength can hunt world bosses; is being the New King strange?”
“Sky-high price for weapons!! Equipment! If you have any, don't hide them, hurry up!”
“Please, great Lords, help me. Fierce beasts are invading my territory. Please support my child with some equipment…”
“…”
The chat channel was exceptionally lively.
Lin Yi's eyes gleamed, “It's almost time!”
He quickly left the main building and came to the door of a warehouse next to the blacksmith shop.
After a full day of forging by Li Dachui, the weapons neatly arranged in the warehouse gleamed with a cold, blue light.
Now was the critical moment when all Lords most needed equipment, and these over 2,000 pieces of equipment were at their highest price point.
Miss this time,
Even if they could still be sold at a high price later, they wouldn't reach today's peak.
Lin Yi's lips curved slightly, and he opened the chat channel to input a message.
Super Love Farming: “Selling Tier 2 rare weapons, limited to 100, already listed on the exchange.”
“Hiss… Capture the great Lord alive! At the most critical moment, has the great Lord finally stepped forward to help us?!”
“Help your grandpa, do you want to see how much he listed them for?!”
“How much, 100 purple crystal coins??”
“Ah? This price in the outside world can already buy a Tier 4 epic weapon!”
“Lin Yi is still as dark as ever. It's normal for equipment prices to rise sharply at a time like this, but I can't afford it even if I empty all my savings.”
“Who can afford it? Everyone's pockets are pretty much the same; having a few hundred gold coins is considered doing well.”
“No… did someone actually buy them? I just opened the exchange, and the equipment is all gone!”
“What a pity! If I had a few Tier 2 weapons, dealing with magic beasts would be much easier.”
“Ah, ah, I hate rich people! And I hate that I'm not the one making money!”
“Damn it, I just wanted to buy one. Does Lin Yi have any more in stock?”
“Definitely not. Tier 2 rare equipment is very slow to craft. What Lin Yi sold should be his accumulated stock from the past few days.”
Super Love Farming: “Selling Tier 2 rare weapons, limited to 100, already listed on the exchange.”
“???”
“…”
Another corner of the Trial Land.
Zhou Yi opened the exchange, his sickly complexion slightly reddened by the campfire's heat.
“Tier 2 equipment…”
“100 purple crystal coins; he's determined to slaughter nobles like pigs!”
He hesitated only briefly before using his last 10,000 purple crystal coins to buy all the second batch of weapons on the exchange.
Now he had an advantage in trial points, although he certainly couldn't compete with Lin Yi for the New King title.
By maintaining a top 3 rank, he could still receive additional rewards after the trial ended.
More importantly, by buying up the only Tier 2 weapons on the market, his speed of acquiring points would increase, while others' speed would decrease.
With this ebb and flow, his ranking on the points leaderboard would become more stable.
However…
When he glanced at the chat channel, he almost spat out old blood.
Super Love Farming: “Last 100, really no more! Don't miss this opportunity, first come, first served!!”
