[Ding: The third day of the Newbie lord Trial Period has arrived. The following rankings are now open; those in the top ten of each ranking will receive a daily gift pack!]
[Ding: Combat Power Ranking open, wealth ranking open, Territory Ranking open, lords heart Ranking open!]
[Ding: You have reached first place on the Combat Power Ranking. Do you want to hide your name?]
Dazed and confused, Su Ye sat up from Lilith's soft, white peaks, his mind still a bit foggy.
"Hide!" Su Ye dizzily chose to hide his name.
Dressed, Su Ye walked out of the Fallen Heaven Sanctuary and freshened up at the Chaos Spring Eye before finally snapping out of his daze.
"It's already the third day; all four rankings are open." Su Ye opened the system panel and looked at the four open rankings.
The first was the Combat Power Ranking.
1st Place: Name: Hidden, troops: Hidden, Combat Power: 100k!
2nd Place: Name: Hidden, troops: Hidden, Combat Power: 1,000!
3rd Place:...
"Wait, what?" Su Ye looked at the Combat Power Ranking; he was first with a combat power of 100,000. This was calculated based on the lord's territory facilities and construction.
It had only been three days, and there were no facilities for boosting combat power in the territory at all, which meant this was calculated based on the comprehensive combat power of the troops.
"Good thing I hid it." Su Ye looked at the Combat Power Ranking; being famous wasn't necessarily a good thing, especially in the Lord World.
There was no shortage of lords with divination-type troops, especially high-level lords whose favorite thing to do was invade newbie lords and plunder everything they had.
Although this was strictly forbidden in the Lord World, many did it in secret; plundering other lords was the fastest way to accumulate wealth.
This wasn't some game of playing the pig to eat the tiger; you could actually die.
The chat channel was also in an uproar.
[Holy crap, the first place on the Combat Power Ranking is 100,000! Damn, who is it?]
[What kind of troops can reach 100,000 in three days? That's nonsense; is the system malfunctioning?]
[Only one type of troops could reach that, and that's the Tech-side. With good luck, it's possible for Tech-side troops to reach 100,000 in three days, especially with the existence of high-tier Tech-side barracks.]
[That seems true; high-tier Tech-side barracks really could do it.]
[Tech-side troops? Forget it. Their glory only shines during the newbie period; after that, they fade into obscurity. Boring, I thought it was some kind of badass troops.]
[Yeah, my Tier 10 troops don't even have a hundred combat power; I really can't think of any troops besides the Tech-side that could reach that level.]
[What if it's God-level troops? [Laugh/JPG]]
[God-level troops? Nonsense, those only exist in legends. What are you thinking? There's no such thing as a God-level barracks.]
...
Su Ye looked at the messages in the chat channel and felt much more relaxed; Tech-side, to them, he was a Tech-side lord.
It was well known that the biggest feature of Tech-side barracks was the ability to mass-produce troops as long as there were enough resources. So, was there a problem with having 100,000 combat power? None at all.
Su Ye then looked at the other rankings.
Besides the first place on the wealth ranking, Little Merchant, whom Su Ye recognized, he didn't know any of the others.
The first on the Territory Ranking was someone named Great Landlord.
The first on the lords heart Level Ranking was a guy named Apocalypse.
Su Ye's Level 3 lords heart didn't even make the top ten; those on the list basically started at Level 5.
"Ridiculous, but it's normal for a few freaks to appear among billions of newbie lords." Su Ye looked at the four rankings; occupying one was already enough.
As for the others, they were just so-so. No need to think about the wealth ranking, as he couldn't compare to Little Merchant, but he could try for the other rankings.
But it didn't matter; the daily gift packs from these rankings were just like that, essentially ordinary supplies, and Su Ye didn't have any intention of competing for them.
He closed the ranking interface.
Su Ye went straight to the Fallen Heaven Sanctuary, where Lilith and Ishtar were already waiting.
[Ding: Do you want to spend 30 gold coins for daily recruitment?]
"Recruit." Su Ye looked at the Fallen Angel statue before him with anticipation.
Countless swirls of black-red mist surged, and figures began to appear within the mist.
Thirty Fallen Angels appeared before Su Ye, half Original Sin Fallen Angel and half Pure-blood Fallen Angel.
"We greet the lord God-Emperor," the thirty Fallen Angels said in unison.
"Rise, all of you. Lilith, Ishtar, they are in your hands," Su Ye said to Lilith and Ishtar.
"Understood, lord God-Emperor," Lilith said with a hint of laziness.
"Yes, lord God-Emperor," Ishtar responded with more seriousness and solemnity.
This also reflected the completely different personalities of Lilith and Ishtar; compared to Lilith's casualness, Ishtar was more of an iron-blooded soldier.
Su Ye walked out of the Fallen Heaven Sanctuary and went to the Supreme Protocol.
Talys was already there waiting for him.
Su Ye entered the hall of the Supreme Protocol; the giant light sphere was still streaming with 0s and 1s, intertwining and radiating the light of technology.
[Ding: Do you want to spend 20 gold coins for daily recruitment?]
"Recruit." Su Ye looked at the giant light sphere with anticipation, hoping to recruit a new Hero Unit.
A white light shone, and figures appeared in the hall.
Twenty Gene Forbidden Army appeared before Su Ye.
"We pay our respects to the Emperor!!" The twenty Gene Forbidden Army looked at Su Ye with fanaticism.
Su Ye nodded. "Rise, all of you. Talys, they are in your hands."
"Yes," Talys replied crisply.
Su Ye walked out of the Supreme Protocol hall and went outside.
He opened his private messages and saw that there was nothing useful.
"Lilith, Talys, Ishtar," Su Ye called out.
Lilith, Talys, and Ishtar all appeared before Su Ye.
"Today's Void Trial is about to begin; it might be quite difficult," Su Ye said slowly.
"Understood, lord," Lilith said leisurely.
Talys and Ishtar both nodded solemnly.
By now, Lilith had reached black iron 9-star, Talys had reached black iron 7-star, and Ishtar, the last Hero Unit among the three, had the lowest level, currently at black iron 3-star.
This was only thanks to the drinks from the Wine Pool and Meat Forest and the Spirit Source Lake; otherwise, Ishtar would only be at black iron 1-star.
Su Ye wasn't worried about them having any problems within the territory; with the existence of the Hall of Valor, every troop unit had a revival armor.
Combined with the aura of the Hall of Valor, the crystal palace's buff, and the damage reduction aura of the Chaos Spring Eye, the combat power of Su Ye's troops would jump several levels, especially within the territory.
The only concern was that the pressure from rank suppression might result in the rating chest not reaching SSS-rank; that was Su Ye's only worry.
