Chapter 145: Looking forward to seeing you all at the summit tonight

Time flies, coming and going in a rush; it felt as if one blink of an eye later, an entire day had passed.

The voices in the village channel had quieted down significantly, simply because today was the final day of the Newcomer Trial. Over the past thirty days, the vast majority of lords had either sacrificed their lives or fled to the Main World.

The original thousand-person novice village was now reduced to just fifty-three people.

Many knew that this number was already quite exaggerated; most novice villages at this stage were left with only a dozen or so people, and total annihilation was not an impossibility.

"I never thought a loser like me, who awakened a Common Grade territory core, would actually manage to survive until today..."

"666, I'm a bit better off than you, Superior Grade territory core, and I only made it this far because of good luck."

"Wishing everyone success in everything today!"

"It's all thanks to the spirit food provided by Big Brother Yun Shen every day; otherwise, I reckon more than half of us wouldn't have made it this far."

"Sigh, there are fewer people fighting for spirit food now, it feels a bit lonely."

"Don't worry, it won't stay lonely. Spirit food is never hard to sell; when it's time to fight for it, we'll still have to rely on our hand speed."

Don't look at the fact that only fifty-three novice lords remain; when noon comes, they will still have to fight for it.

Although the number of novice lords has decreased, everyone is still constantly recruiting troops, so the market demand for spirit food hasn't actually dropped much.

Back when there were many people, each person could basically grab at most two portions; any more than that was impossible.

Now that there are fewer people, everyone is sighing and lamenting on the surface, but in reality, they are already blooming with joy inside.

As time passes, the proportion of people "eliminated" from the Myriad Races Battlefield is constantly declining.

The reason is that once the number of people decreases, the share of spirit food everyone can buy increases, and the more spirit food each person can enjoy, the less pressure they face from the monster tide.

In fact, it's not just the credit of the spirit food; Yun Shen also sells many things on the trading house, such as equipment, talismans, and other consumables.

Even the various ores needed for upgrading don't require anyone to worry; they just need to collect source crystals and go to Yun Shen to purchase them.

Compared to spending great effort to search for and mine ores, everyone is very willing to spend money to buy them, saving both time and effort.

Yun Shen got up early in the morning and was already rolling affixes for his troops.

After so many days, he had indeed rolled quite a few Golden and useful Orange affixes on his troops.

Ten of the Twelve Beauties of Jin Ling had already been granted affixes by Yun Shen.

The scale of the Profound Heaven Iron Maidens had now expanded to one hundred and twenty people, and half of them had obtained affixes.

Many affixes, when applied to them, would transform into various skills. It was just a pity that these skills could not be uploaded to the brain chip for sharing; they could only be used individually, which was quite a shame.

There were also a small number of affixes that transformed into bloodlines, causing the Profound Heaven Iron Maidens, who were originally human, to sprout physiological characteristics from other races.

For example, growing a pair of dragon horns on their heads, sprouting several pairs of angel wings or vampire wings on their backs, having an extra vertical pupil in the center of their brows, or transforming into cat-girls or rabbit-girls...

With these mutated troops, not only was Yun Shen happy, but Jiang Lan's mood was also good. With so many gene sequences from different races available for her to study, she was naturally happy.

Many of these bloodline-type affixes were very powerful, so powerful that they could even reset the focus of their three-dimensional attributes!

For example, one Profound Heaven Maiden who originally focused on spiritual power attributes, after fusing with the Golden 【Vampire Bloodline】 affix, possessed a Legendary Grade bloodline comparable to a Vampire Duke, directly transforming from human to vampire, with her attribute points automatically adjusted and redistributed to focus on physique attributes.

The number of such Profound Heaven Maidens who transformed races was currently relatively small, but the effects were quite good, and they could basically automatically master some innate skills of various races.

Actually, this was also quite incredible. Under normal circumstances, as long as the quality of the bloodline was high enough, it would cause the troop quality to advance.

After possessing a Legendary Grade vampire bloodline, logically speaking, this troop should have advanced to a Legendary troop, yet she remained at Shi Shi.

Yun Shen also understood why this was: some targets, after being granted an affix, would not change their original quality.

This led to the appearance of this strange phenomenon, allowing Shi Shi troops to enjoy the advantages of a Legendary Grade bloodline and automatically learn some Legendary Grade racial innate skills.

There were many ways for heroes and troops to advance to higher quality, the most common being the use of 【Hero Advancement Cards】 and 【Troop Advancement Cards】.

In these thirty days, Yun Shen had actually obtained quite a few of these two types of advancement cards, but their quality was very low, and the affixes rolled were not powerful, so they had never been of any use.

The sun, which constantly radiated light and heat above the firmament, gradually moved to the top of his head day after day. Yun Shen had also prepared the spirit food early and put it all on the trading house.

Even though the number of lords in the novice village had decreased, the speed at which everyone grabbed spirit food was as fast as ever.

Yun Shen: "Classmates, I hope we can all appear at the welcome party tonight and meet at the summit!"

"Hahaha! When that time comes, I must toast Big Brother Yun Shen!"

"Looking forward to seeing you all at the summit tonight!"

"Meet at the summit!"

"Meet at the summit!"

The village channel was gradually being flooded. Everyone was emotionally stirred, filled with the heroic ambition that even if they had to risk half their lives today, they would pass this hurdle.

Having worked so hard for so long, wasn't it all for this very moment?

If one were to fall before the finish line, how unwilling would that be?

At this moment, Zhu Ying sent a private message to Yun Shen.

Zhu Ying: "Good brother, it's the last day already. Do you still have some equipment in stock? I'm referring to the top-grade kind."

Yun Shen: "Of course I do, what's wrong?"

Zhu Ying: "Although I have the Sword Tower, I still feel it's not secure. If you have any to spare, sell me some?"

Yun Shen: "How many source crystals do you have on hand now? It's the last day, you don't need to be too frugal."

Zhu Ying: "You want source crystals? I have over five million here."

Yun Shen's eyes lit up. Five million, that's not bad at all.

In these thirty days, Yun Shen hadn't counted the source crystals he had rolled, but he estimated there was one hundred million!

But his expenses were also huge!

When the defensive towers and the Profound Heaven Research Institute were outputting, they would constantly consume source crystals, and the higher the level, the greater the consumption would become.
