Chapter 932: New Rule, New Playstyles?! Nobility Titles!?

Obtaining a Hidden Achievement once adds 50 points; obtaining a rare Hidden Achievement once adds 100 points; ordinary Achievement adds 0 points.

After the Twelfth Death Game ends, teams ranked 11‑100 will receive 500 Territory Value points.

Teams ranked 4‑10 will receive 800 Territory Value points.

The team ranked 3rd will receive 1,000 Territory Value points.

The team ranked 2nd will receive 2,000 Territory Value points.

The team ranked 1st will receive 3,000 Territory Value points.

The Nobility Mode is opened; Ascend God seeds can earn corresponding Nobility titles based on Territory Value.

Nobility may legally collect taxes from civilians within their Territory.

The higher the Nobility rank, the larger the Territory that can be expanded.

Teams ranked 4‑10 receive the Ascend God seed directly with a Baron Title reward.

Teams ranked 1‑3 receive the Ascend God seed directly with a Viscount Title reward.

The team ranked 1st gets an extra Ascend God seed reward: the Recruit the Wise and Talented privilege.

Recruit the Wise and Talented: Ascend God seeds can issue recruitment notices, and those willing to join the team are not bound by the Life-Death Contract.

One person can be recruited each month.

The Leaderboard will be announced after the Twelfth Death Game!

Here it comes!

Su Yang thought to himself, "Indeed."

According to the customary practice and the rule‑consistent Urine nature.

At the near end of each stage, it is impossible for things to be completely smooth.

Compared with the earlier pre‑'motivation'.

This time it arrived a bit later.

It somewhat feels like rushing a Duck Token onto the shelf.

Regarding this New Rule, Su Yang roughly constructed an overall framework in his Brain.

Undoubtedly, this intends to further widen the gap between players.

Compared with the Rankings, the emergence of Nobility Mode directly brings a massive transformation to the era.

The strong become Nobility.

The weak can only be civilians.

Moreover, from the term Territory Value alone, it is clear that players with greater weight have higher title levels.

The higher the title level, the larger the Territory.

The larger the Territory, the more taxes.

The whole system could be called plundering the people's flesh and blood.

It is cruel, yet also tinged with a degree of ruthlessness.

However…

He likes it!

"Why did so many new playstyles suddenly pop up? It's a bit dizzying," Lin Yang said, scratching his head.

"Actually, if you view them as a whole it's easy to understand—Nobility, Territory, taxes," Zhuge Chen explained.

"I get it, this is a closed loop!" Luo Shuangshuang exclaimed, slapping his thigh.

"Yes, and it's a New Rule comparable to the Death Game; it aims to wipe out the lower‑tier players completely," Lu Junsheng remarked.

"Wait a moment…" Lin Yang furrowed his Brow and asked, "The Territory and taxes mentioned here should be interconnected, right?"

"What are you trying to say?"

"Logically, Nobility does obtain Income through taxes, but these aren't collected for free; they must, in certain situations, fully protect the civilians and also maintain social stability, among other things."

"If… I mean if our Territory becomes large enough to make us the Boss of many teams, should we then give something in return?" Lin Yang asked.

That question is indeed a novel perspective.

Zhuge Chen shook his head and said, "That situation does not exist."

"Nobility has no need for any responsibility or protection; they only need to stay alive."

"On the contrary, as Nobility titles keep upgrading, the civilians below must contribute even more effort to prevent trouble above."

Huh?

Lin Yang, looking puzzled, asked, "Why?"

It's not…

That also defies logic.

Do I, a civilian, still need to be responsible to you Nobility?

Isn't this the opposite of Tian Gang?

Zhuge Chen glanced at the Screen and said smoothly, "Jiang Chengyu is in the Old Era; using him as an Anchor Point, my Investigation uncovered many truths."

"It can be understood as me knowing the test server's content in advance."

"Different Nobility title levels have different amplification ratios for acquiring Faith Value."

"For example, the most basic Baron, each time their subordinate team clears a Death Game, the reward amplification is about 5%."

"The Viscount's reward amplification is roughly 8%."

"Setting aside other living standards and conditions, based solely on this, do you think civilians still have any responsibility?"

With that remark, Lin Yang seemed to grasp something.

"Responsibility, in essence, is simply not wanting the Nobility above to die."

If he dies, the Buff disappears, and the entire territory will vanish.

In this world there is no such thing as abdication or succession; when a person dies, everything is gone.

If a commoner wants to seek another territory to obtain Buff, they must pay a price.

Either become Nobility themselves.

Only these two paths are available.

But the wool comes from the sheep; the Buff part ultimately returns to the Nobility's pocket.

So…

Unless this team suddenly awakens and erupts, there is no chance.

The polarized status gap directly determines the upper‑tier players' structural division.

"This is so frustrating…" Luo Shuangshuang's willow Brow furrowed.

"So, we must strive upward," Ximen Zhirou said.

"The Leaderboard will appear only after the next Death Game ends; we should be able to calculate the scores ourselves, right?" Lin Yang asked.

"We currently have the advantage in scores, that's indisputable," Zhuge Chen admitted. "Only a few can obtain Rare Hidden Achievement."

"We have always dabbled in Hidden Achievement; compared with past results, the important thing is the Twelfth Death Game!"

Su Yang nodded: "I already said the New Rule will certainly appear; that's why I chose to go all‑in."

Fortunately he has foresight.

Otherwise Faith Value would be thrown entirely into the gamble.

"Haha… Zhao Chenglin knows this outcome; his heart must be Blood Dropping," Lin Yang laughed heartily.

"Don't be overly confident; their team has many Dependents, and Zhao Chenglin himself isn't exactly a good fellow, so don't be careless," Su Yang warned.

"I know, I'm just happy that this step was right," Lin Yang patted his chest.

At this moment, Wen Ran asked: "What is the function of Recruit the Wise and Talented?"

On that point, Su Yang replied: "You can think of it as a recruitment function in the game; after announcing the requirement, players with the corresponding ability can leave their original team and join directly."

Wen Ran nodded slightly, then asked: "Is it equivalent to poaching from other teams?"

"Yes!"

"I see…"

Wen Ran was amazed; Nobility can actually have such a privilege!

Although only one person can be recruited each month, over time it becomes a force not to be underestimated.

More crucially…

Su Yang can submit his own requests.

For example, recruiting top‑combat players.

It can also be a Talent Specialist.

Even Rare Talent!

People climb upward, water flows downward.

With the Viscount title atop one's head, who wouldn't be moved?
