Seeing himself at the top of the Personal Strength Ranking with a huge lead, Li Qingxuan felt little joy, instead sensing a heavy pressure.

He knew this was just the beginning; future challenges would only become more arduous.

"Qingxuan, you're currently first on the Personal Strength Ranking," Wang Hongmei said with a smile, her eyes full of pride.

Li Qingxuan shook his head slightly, saying, "This is only temporary; others' strength is also constantly rising, and the newly arrived Four Great Camps surely have strong members, such as the Dragon Race."

Chen Xiulan chimed in: "Yeah, Qingxuan, you can't let your guard down; the Dragon Race is trouble just to hear about, and who knows when a super‑strong individual might show up looking for us."

Li Qingge also said with a worried face: "Qingxuan brother, you must be careful; if we encounter a too‑powerful enemy, we'll think of a solution together."

Li Qingxuan rubbed Li Qingge's head, saying, "Don't worry, I won't act rashly. The new rules just came out; we need to study them well first, see how we can use these rules to boost our strength."

The women all nodded, indicating they understood.

At this moment, Li Xinxin pointed at the ranking and said, "Look, our Shelter Level Ranking is a bit low, we're in the two‑hundreds."

Li Qingxuan looked at the Shelter Level Ranking and said, "This is a problem; upgrading our shelter requires a huge amount of materials, the difficulty is too great, and in the short term we can't raise the level much."

Chen Xiulan said, "Then what should we do?"

Li Qingxuan pondered for a moment, then said, "Gathering materials is definitely necessary; we can also try raising your shelter levels to see if we can secure an extra spot on the ranking."

Li Qingge's eyes lit up: "Qingxuan brother, that's a great idea; if the sisters' shelter levels can also rise and take a place on the ranking, we'll earn more rewards and become stronger in the future."

Li Xinxin also nodded beside her, saying, "That's right, and having multiple shelters on the ranking would let other forces see our strength more clearly, so they wouldn't dare attack lightly. However, raising a shelter's level is no easy task; we need to plan carefully. First, we must figure out whether, after upgrading the shelters of the personnel inside Guangtan Fortress, we can secure a spot on the ranking."

Wang Hongmei said with a smile, "It's still Younger Brother Qingxuan who thought this through; this method might actually let us move up a bit on the Shelter Level Ranking."

Li Qingxuan saw the women's enthusiastic looks, his heart also filled with confidence, and said, "Alright, let's discuss together now and see whose Shelter Level we can raise."

The women gathered around and began a heated discussion.

Wang Hongmei spoke first, "Right now only Li Feifei and Zhao Ling'er brought their Shelters with them; others either left theirs behind or never had any, and Feifei's Shelter has already been taken by you as a subsidiary Shelter, which probably won't work, so we can only try upgrading Ling'er's Shelter."

Li Feifei said, "Yes, we can try upgrading Ling'er's Shelter."

Chen Xiulan also nodded in agreement, "Exactly, if her Shelter makes the ranking, it would be a boost to our overall strength."

Li Qingge blinked her eyes and said, "Then shall we first try upgrading it?"

Li Qingxuan stroked his chin and said, "Fine, let's first upgrade it by one level and see if it works; if it doesn't, the materials consumed won't be many."

Zhao Ling'er said firmly, "Thank you all for trusting me so much; I will certainly not disappoint your expectations."

Li Qingxuan saw the women united in heart, feeling warm inside, and said, "Alright, let's follow this plan. Also, Feifei, tally up our remaining materials to see if we have enough to upgrade to level eight."

Li Feifei responded, began carefully inventorying the various materials in storage, and shortly after raised her head to say, "The materials we currently have are probably not enough to upgrade Ling'er's Shelter to level eight, after all we only just finished building the Outer City Wall not long ago."

Li Qingxuan nodded to show he understood, then continued, "Then let's first try upgrading by one level and see if there's any change on the Ranking. If the Ranking shifts, we'll increase our material-gathering efforts, striving to reach level eight as soon as possible. Also, don't forget the World Channel offers three speaking opportunities each day, which we can use for transactions."
