The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 13 - Rankings

[Announcement: The last Lord has established his territory. The first cycle challenge—Monster Siege, and area rankings are now open]

[Cycle Challenge—Monster Siege: A wave of wild monsters will actively attack territories every day, and their strength will gradually increase]

[Killing the wild monsters will earn points. At the end of the daily siege time or once all attacking wild monsters are defeated, an event shop will open where points can be exchanged for certain rewards]

[Note: The daily siege time is one hour. If the current wave of wild monsters is defeated early, the next wave will be refreshed, up to a maximum of 7 refreshes per day]

[Note: Points will be reset after the event ends, please use them in time]

[6 days, 17 hours, and 47 minutes until the cycle challenge begins]

"The first event is this intense?!"

You can imagine, given how most Lords are still afraid to leave their territories.

If they don't adapt, it's foreseeable that a significant number of people will fall once the cycle challenge begins.

Upon opening the chat channel, it's indeed blowing up.

Big Water Fish: "Monster Siege? I'm still besieged by zombies in my territory!"

Han Shuangjiang: "All I have are a few crap dogs for soldiers, what the hell can I do?"

Zero: "Is there any big brother who can save me? I'm just an 18-year-old little sister~"

Wang Family Village Second Son: "This game is trying to kill us!"

Youming: "Holy shit, everyone check out the leaderboard! So many big shots!"

Seeing this message, Bai Yi also became interested and opened the leaderboard.

[Congratulations, You're on the list. Please choose whether to remain anonymous]

"Is this feature available? Anonymous!"

It wasn't hard to decide; Bai Yi had planned to lay low, focus on farming peacefully, and certainly not expose himself by appearing on the leaderboard.

[You have chosen to display anonymously. There are currently Territory Ranking, Comprehensive Combat Power Ranking, and Personal Combat Power Ranking.]

[Rankings will be settled weekly, with rewards given based on the rankings in each list.]

[Lord Ranking Rewards:]

[1st Place: Random job transfer certificate*1, Random Advanced Building Blueprint Package*1, Basic Resources Self-selection*2000, Advanced Resources Self-selection*20]

[2nd Place: Random Advanced Building Blueprint Package*1, Basic Resources Self-selection*2000, Advanced Resources Self-selection*10]

[3rd Place: Random Building Blueprint Package*1, Basic Resources Self-selection*2000]

[4th to 10th Place: Basic Resources Self-selection*1000]

After finishing all the notices, Bai Yi finally saw the current area ranking:

[33rd Area Territory Ranking:]

[1st Place: Anonymous Lord, Territory: Mutated giant banyan, Level Evaluation: Second Tier Blue]

[2nd Place: Jun Lin, Territory: Mechanical Workshop, Level Evaluation: Early Period Gold]

[3rd Place: Landon I, Territory: Sunrise Sanctuary, Level Evaluation: Early Period Gold]

[...]

[972nd Place: Zero, Territory: Abandoned Villa, Level Evaluation: First-Tier Gray]

[Note: Current Lord has won the first place on the leaderboard, please strive to maintain it]

"How is Jun Lin this strong? And who is this Landon I?"

And Bai Yi noticed that the last rank on the leaderboard was no longer 1000.

This also means that right now, likely 28 Lords have already fallen.

"Sigh..."

Bai Yi sighed and continued to check the other two rankings.

The top spot on the Comprehensive Combat Power Ranking wasn't Bai Yi, but the Corpse King who could control zombies.

This made sense; if he were born in a city and had such a superpower, he certainly could quickly amass strong combat power.

However, Bai Yi discovered that she was just ranked 10th on this list, nearly being pushed out.

This surprised Bai Yi.

[1st Place: Corpse King, Comprehensive Combat Power: Early Period Gold]

[2nd Place: Landon I, Comprehensive Combat Power: Early Period Purple]

[3rd Place: Eighth day, Comprehensive Combat Power: Early Period Purple]

[...]

[10th Place: Anonymous Lord, Comprehensive Combat Power: Early Period Purple]

[...]

"All these people silently getting rich, really, hunkering down and growing silently is the way to go!"

On the last individual power list, unsurprisingly, Bai Yi didn't see her name among the top hundred, directly dropped to 349th.

This rank only included the bonus from the newly acquired Rune Sword.

Otherwise, Bai Yi felt she would be ranked outside the top 800.

"Forget it, I'm not the fighting type, but Jun Lin is the first on the individual power list?"

[1st Place, Jun Lin, Personal Combat Power: Early Period Gold]

[2nd Place, Anonymous Lord, Personal Combat Power: Early Period Gold]

[3rd Rank, Iron Blood, Personal Combat Power: Tier 1 Purple]

[...]

[349th Rank, Anonymous Lord, Personal Combat Power: Tier 1 Green]

[...]

However, Bai Yi spotted something interesting.

—The last name on the combat power ranking is still that zero.

It has been remembered in quite an embarrassing way.

"Let's set a minor goal first, keep the first place in the territory ranking this week!"

Unawares, the sky had completely darkened, and Bai Yi took out 2 units of pork, asking a farm woman to roast it for dinner along with bread.

Perhaps due to the upgraded Constitution, Bai Yi surprisingly found that she had eaten an entire unit of bread before feeling full.

After dinner, Bai Yi planned to deal with the messages she hadn't checked today, opened the panel, and saw a private message.

It was from Landon I, who she had seen on the ranking earlier.

Landon I: "Do you still need honey? I can spare some, how much do you need?"

Bai Yi's eyes lit up immediately, she quickly replied; she didn't expect someone to respond to the trade she hung up in the afternoon so quickly.

Fan Mao: "How much do you have? I need about 100 units, and can exchange it with fresh Blood Flesh 1 to 1."

Fan Mao: "This is Tier 2 meat, you won't be at a loss."

Landon I: "Deal, initiate the trade."

Having swiftly finalized a deal, Bai Yi modified the trading project in the Free Market, changing it to 100 units of pork for 100 units of honey.

Only 50 units of honey are needed to build a Hive, the remaining 50 units, apart from some used to train early-stage soldiers, could perhaps still leave some snacks!

"Now the Giant Bee only lacks a Tier 1 Crystal Core!

By the way, since I've already started, might as well ask in passing."

Fan Mao: "Right, do you still have Tier 1 Crystal Cores?"

Landon I: "Yes, 1 Crystal Core for 2 units of Blood Flesh, how many do you need?"

Bai Yi found this price acceptable and agreed.

However, Landon I said it would take some time to prepare, and would send her a private message once ready.

Bai Yi wasn't rushing for this bit of time, after all, she couldn't possibly explore the forest in the dead of the night, leaving it till tomorrow would do no harm.

Having settled the materials needed for the Giant Bee Hive, Bai Yi felt much more relaxed.

"Next is to wait for my Magic Power to recover, let's try Genetic Fusion tonight!"

Having set her goal for the night, Bai Yi continued to open channels, ready to gather some information and pass some idle time.

Bai Yi thought that most Lords would have returned to their territories to rest by now, making it the perfect opportunity to learn about other Lords!

......

In the city center of White Poplar City, inside an underground parking garage

Right after enjoying a hearty meal of tinned meat and vegetables with bread served by his subordinates, Second Young Master Su was preparing to execute his plan when he received a private message from a subordinate.

Gou Dan: "Young Master Su, based on your instructions, I monitored the market and really found a major transaction!"

A smile formed at the corner of Second Young Master Su's mouth, originally just casting a wide net, he didn't expect a catch.

Second Young Master Su: "Go on in detail."

Gou Dan: "The initiator of the transaction is a Lord named Fan Mao, sold 100 units of fresh Blood Flesh and got 100 units of honey."

A sharp light flashed in Second Young Master Su's eyes.

He was certain this name hadn't appeared on the ranking, though it could be one of the few Anonymous Lords.

But such resource exchange must be for building Barracks!

That would mean the opponent's strength must not be strong!

As for how the fresh Blood Flesh came about, it must be scavenged!

People always fail to imagine things outside their understanding and interpret based on their own knowledge and desired truths.

Because he had also picked up a dead Mutant Creature, which helped him to build an advantage and quickly set up a "company" in just half a day!

He knew all too well the value of a single corpse!

After all, to procure such a large amount of flesh on the first day, it couldn't possibly be from hunting Mutant Creatures himself, could it?

It's not like Bai Yi, who had a namesake with the company's heiress and nabbed a Tier 2 first kill.

Even he couldn't defeat those at least Tier 2 Mutant Creatures, how could an unknown small Lord be stronger than him?

"Tier 2 Crystal Core—

Just need to get one more, then I can use my Talent to devour again, advancing my territory ahead of time, catching up to that first-ranked Anonymous Lord!

Then, relying on the company to scour resources, claiming the top spot amongst Lords would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?"

A plan quickly formed in his mind, but before that, he still needed to make his debut.

With that thought, he replied with a message.

Second Young Master Su: "Understood, hold off on your end, prepare to start the plan."

Gou Dan: "Yes, boss!"
