Chapter 58

In the notification, there was also a coordinate.

Now there were two combat plans.

One was to take the initiative to attack, the other was defensive counterattack.

If one wanted to be safe, defensive counterattack was definitely the most secure.

After all, there were 5 defensive towers in the territory, and standing on them was very safe.

However, in this test, the time taken to kill the enemy was also a factor in calculating the score.

Being able to kill as quickly as possible would earn a higher score.

So for the first few batches of weak enemies, it was better to resolve them as quickly as possible.

And each batch only had 30 minutes to be resolved.

If the enemies wandered around in the territory, it was very likely that they wouldn't be found, missing the time and ending the test.

It was best to be able to take the initiative to attack.

"Everyone take all the tools as backups, and also bring all the ropes, follow me to the north?"

"What are we taking ropes and tools for? Do we need to build something temporarily?" Gu Qing asked.

"No, it's possible we'll need to capture prisoners."

"My lord, don't you want to kill them quickly?"

Zhao Chi said: "Capturing prisoners has extra points, even if the time is a bit slower it doesn't matter, and there's another benefit, which is that these prisoners are all ours, and we can sell them for money later."

Capturing prisoners, of course, was more difficult than killing them.

And it was more dangerous and more troublesome.

It was natural that the score would be higher.

Being able to capture enemies was definitely a steady profit without loss.

The last goblins were worth at least 2 gold coins.

Capturing them this time, there would be at least 5 gold coins worth of prisoners, if they were better, capturing 10-plus gold coins worth directly, he could pay off his loan.

Gu Qing nodded: "I understand, everyone take the ropes, follow the lord."

The coordinate location wasn't far.

Zhao Chi maintained a medium speed, and at 10:25, arrived at the mist wall on the north side.

"It's right in front, everyone get ready, enemies will appear in 5 minutes."

"Yes!"

The 20 female soldiers were already prepared, ready to thrust their spears at any time.

The 60 female artisans were also ready. Although they were responsible for assistance, they could also contribute their part.

Countdown 1 minute.

Countdown 30 seconds.

Countdown 3, 2, 1.

[First level begins!]

"Everyone pay attention, the enemies, they're here!"

[First level begins!]

At the same time the system sent the prompt, the mist wall in front began to shake.

It wasn't just a small area.

But almost half of the northern mist wall was shaking.

With the shaking, the thick white mist gradually thinned.

Soon, the mist wall retreated a large chunk, giving way to a vast space.

It was exactly the periphery of the coordinates from before.

There, 10 small green figures appeared.

Holding wooden spears, looking wretched.

Are they... goblins??

The first batch of magical beasts are goblins?

Can goblins even count as magical beasts?

Gu Qing and the others were very surprised.

They had prepared to welcome strong enemies.

And this is it?

This first batch of enemies... really isn't strong.

The goblins also looked blankly ahead.

Looking at those 80 women who were like wolves and tigers, their eyes revealing an expression even more greedy than the goblins.

That was greed for battle.

It was an expression like a fierce tiger seeing a rabbit.

Zhao Chi pointed ahead: "Capture them all!"

At his command, all the women rushed out.

Gu Qing took the lead, Tang Ruan followed closely behind.

According to the goblins' original personality, seeing so many beautiful women, they should have been excited.

But they were terrified at this moment.

After all, they were at a disadvantage, and those women were too... too proactive.

The goblins hurriedly threw the wooden spears in their hands and fled in all directions.

Zhao Chi roared: "Surrender! Those who don't surrender will die!"

The female soldiers also shouted in unison: "Surrender! If you don't surrender, you die!"

Goblins were fast, but these women were faster.

They were all wearing silk stocking fashion, having a 7.5% extra movement speed bonus.

These goblins couldn't escape at all.

As the women's footsteps approached, the goblins were about to collapse.

Bang, bang, bang!

Several white legs kicked out, the goblins were kicked down and stomped on.

Falling to the ground, screaming repeatedly.

The next moment, they all surrendered.

"Surrender, I surrender."

"I surrender too!"

"Me too!"

The 10 goblins were stepped on by the female soldiers, all tied up.

In the area where the mist had disappeared in front, mist appeared again.

The mist became thicker and thicker.

Soon, the mist wall closed completely.

[First level passed]

[Defeated] 10 Goblins

[Time taken] 2 minutes 48 seconds

[Score] 47 points

[Total score] 47 points

[Ranking] 53rd

Whether killing or capturing, both counted as defeating the enemy.

All 10 goblins were captured, taking 2 minutes 48 seconds.

This time was already quite fast.

In the end, this level earned 47 points.

But there were 52 people stronger.

It was clear that this first level was a free-points level, meant for everyone to build confidence and practice.

Other students also knew that capturing prisoners added more points, so it was estimated that thousands of goblins were captured in a short time, and the price of goblins might fall recently.

But regardless, dozens of silver coins were definitely in hand.

Even after deducting taxes, there were at least 50 silver coins.

The second level started at 11 o'clock, there were still more than 20 minutes left.

"Everyone rest in place, the second batch of enemies will appear at 11 o'clock."

The female soldiers sat down one after another.

Anyway, they were wearing leather armor, not afraid of bugs biting their butts.

Gu Qing asked: "My lord, will the next batch of enemies appear from here too? Should we set traps?"

Zhao Chi shook his head: "It's fine during real combat, but it's not allowed during the exam, setting traps will reduce points, we must fight normally."

"Oh." Gu Qing nodded.

Zhao Chi sat down in place, opened the system, and entered the exam information.

[337th Junior Lord Start-of-Term Test - Real-time Ranking]

[1st Place] Class 3: Xiao Liu

[2nd Place] Class 1: Hua Hua Yuyin

[3rd Place] Class 7: Ye Zhong

[4th Place] Class 2: You Yu

[5th Place] Class 10: Yuan Zhao

Zhao Chi knew all of these people.

These were all people who were often at the top of the list, all the outstanding students of each class.

Continued looking down.

Found some names of people from his own class.

[21st Place] Class 4: Duan Yun

[23rd Place] Class 4: Cao Feng

[36th Place] Class 4: Lu Yi

[53rd Place] Class 4: Zhao Chi

[Omitted]

[219th Place] Class 4: Yang Xiong

Cao Feng and Lu Yi's rankings were both good.

Cao Feng's Shadow Leopards had extremely fast sprint speeds, and the Centaur Archers were also masters of movement speed.

Leopards plus centaurs could surround goblins instantly.

They could indeed end the battle quickly.

But he didn't expect Lu Yi's ranking to be good too.

Zhao Chi only knew her race was Elf, and she even lost 1 last time fighting trolls.

Her family must have invested resources in the past few days.

Yang Xiong went without saying, leading a group of muscular orcs to rush over fiercely, which could scare goblins into peeing themselves.

Even if the goblins ran, they could use throwing to smash the goblins to death.

It was estimated that Yang Xiong didn't capture many prisoners.

He was ranked 219th in the grade, and 14th in Class 4.

And Duan Yun was also a person who was often at the top of Class 4.

However, he was very low-key.

Or one could say indifferent.

He was also from a commoner family, but extremely hardworking.

He could get a good ranking, Zhao Chi sincerely wished him well.

Zhao Chi was ranked 53rd this time, already counting as the 4th in Class 4.

Other Class 4 students' rankings were basically concentrated between 300th-700th, only a dozen people's rankings were between 100th-300th.

Sure enough, Class 4's overall strength was very mediocre, there were no top-tier students.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Yang Xiong sent a message:

Yang Xiong [Holy crap, Zhao Chi you're awesome, you're actually 53rd in the grade? You're 4th in the whole class]

Zhao Chi [Just the first level, can't see anything yet, mainly depends on what's behind]

Yang Xiong [That's still very impressive, go check the group]

Zhao Chi looked down.

The messages in the few groups in the bottom right of the system were already all 99+.

Of course, they were all private groups.

There was a Class 4 private group, and a private group for the entire Junior Lord grade.

But the grade group didn't have everyone, only 600-plus people, but this was enough, many people from each class were in the grade private group.

Zhao Chi clicked open the class private group.

Shi Juan [Cao-ge is still awesome, Cao-ge is 23rd in the grade]

Yang Xiong [Your Cao-ge isn't as awesome as Duan Yun, Duan Yun is 21st in the grade, first in the whole class!]

Li Ke [Duan Yun is Duan Yun, not you Yang Xiong, what are you? Let me see... ]

Yang Xiong [Have you finished looking? Mr. Li Ke who is 294th in the grade? I am Yang Xiong who is 219th in the grade]

Cao Feng [Yang Xiong you bastard just wait, after the exam I'll deal with you first]

Yang Xiong [Yo yo, scared to death]

Cao Feng [Zhao Chi, you say something too, hehe, so you're 53rd, not bad, just 30 places away from me]

Zhao Chi [Cao-ge is 23rd in the grade? Awesome! Bringing glory to Class 4!]

Cao Feng [... ah? Is this sent by Zhao Chi?]

Yang Xiong [Cao-ge is awesome!]

Cao Feng [Mother-fucker! What do you want to do?]

Zhao Chi [Hahahahahaha]

Cao Feng was praised until his defenses broke.

After all, being praised by Zhao Chi and Yang Xiong, he always felt they were being sarcastic.

Zhao Chi was very relaxed now.

It was only the first level now.

His advantage hadn't been utilized at all yet.

Although he was currently ranked 53rd, this was already the top 5.3% of the grade, which was considered a very excellent result.

He had confidence that he would gradually improve his ranking later on.
