Chen Rui, who knew the future trajectory, did not take Cesare Piero seriously. To him, the guy was just a supporting role after all.
What really surprised Chen Rui was Zong Shen.
After his rebirth, Chen Rui once wanted to show off his skills.
Until Zong Shen came out, in his memory of his previous life, Zong Shen was a strange name, at least he had never seen it in any rankings or [World Channel].
But in this life, the guy named Zong Shen was far ahead.
He also trampled under his feet all the proud men of the previous life.
This is why Chen Rui calls Zong Shen a variable.
Thinking of this, Chen Rui stepped away from the mountain of corpses composed of massive Dark Star Zerg. The hard carapace was a good material, but it was a pity that it could not bring about a defensive challenge, so Chen Rui had no intention of collecting and studying it.
Currently, in his exclusive defensive challenge area, there are only five to six thousand Dark Star Zerg and the Dark Star Mother Zerg that are stuck in a breeding bottleneck.
After calculating the remaining challenge time, he planned to take the initiative to attack the female insect after resting for an hour.
When there is still some energy left, Chen Rui naturally pursues all kills, so that he can get higher scores and more rewards.
The Dark Star Zerg are headed by the mother worm, so there is no need to worry about them spreading out.
It just takes a lot of effort for Chen Rui to deal with the epic high-level female insects.
The Dark Star Zerg's weakness lies in psychic and spiritual interference.
The female insect has strong mental power, so it can become the center.
However, Chen Rui's mental interference with some Dark Star Zerg can effectively affect the control of the mother Zerg, thereby taking the opportunity to kill the Zerg soldiers.
All mental/mind control skills can have an effect.
Facts have proved that in every defensive challenge, the offensive side has corresponding weaknesses or flaws that can be exploited.
Chen Rui originally understood this, so he made various attempts soon after the game started, and finally found the flaw of the Dark Star Zerg.
Now we have to reach the final decisive battle.
His personal strength is not low, but it is incomparable to Zong Shen.
At least Chen Rui couldn't defeat the legendary strongman. Even against the high-level epic beings, he still needed to use all his strength.
This is also a reflection of the gap between the two.
Ever since he noticed Zong Shen, Chen Rui had always subconsciously regarded Zong Shen as the target of comparison and competition.
He would always think of Zong Shen unconsciously every time.
Just like now, Chen Rui will also think about the opponents Zong Shen faces.
He was assessing in his mind how far apart he was from Zong Shen.
He has used the information from his previous life and worked step by step, almost reaching the limit at the same time in this life.
But he still couldn't catch up with Zong Shen's progress.
Chen Rui was actually very confused in his heart. He didn't understand why as a reborn person, he couldn't compare to Zong Shen.
Logically speaking, the information advantage after rebirth should be absolutely leading. It is difficult for normal lords to compare with just good luck and wisdom.
Even if some of them surpassed Chen Rui, he was confident that he could catch up.
The only difference was Zong Shen. Chen Rui could never keep up with Zong Shen's pace, and it was even difficult to figure out his current progress.
This is because Zong Shen's performance has exceeded his knowledge.
Chen Rui's cognition as a person in his two lives was unable to accurately keep up with Zong Shen's development progress and trajectory, which is enough to show that Zong Shen is special.
Due to the existence of the third act, he has no hostility towards Zong Shen.
After all, the cruel third act is a big challenge that all lords need to bear the consequences of together. As long as we get through it, everyone will GAME OVER together.
But once you successfully overcome the difficulties, you will be able to welcome a new future.
In ten years, even with the help of the lords' privileges, it would be difficult for the lords to develop to the point where they could compete with the third act.
Therefore, there is a need for the emergence of top-notch people. For example, an extraordinary guy like Zong Shen. If he is allowed to develop for ten years, he might be able to take the lead in getting through the terrible third act.
In short, he has already made a plan to follow Zong Shen's steps. After he obtains the ultra-long-distance space teleportation array, he will definitely have a face-to-face chat with Zong Shen.
Chen Rui walked to the lord's small building while thinking blankly.
His lover Garona also rushed back from the front line.
Other harem groups also gathered around.
In terms of the size of the harem alone, Chen Rui is even worse than Zong Shen.
It covers green-skinned orc girls, beast-eared girls, humans and elf girls, and the taste is much heavier than Zong's.
He was going to rest for an hour, so he hugged the harem and took a shower and changed clothes. He was in a good mood.
For Chen Rui, the harem is just a way of entertainment.
In the Endless Continent, as long as you have the ability and physical strength, there is no harm in arranging a hundred girls. The moral standard in this regard is completely different from that on Earth.
As long as the conditions allow and the strength is sufficient, who would still live a monogamous life?
Who said monogamy is good, then those princes in ancient times who had many wives and concubines would laugh out loud.
Monogamy is better under certain conditions, but it is by no means the best choice.
At least that's what Chen Rui thought, and he did enjoy enough fun in it. Coupled with the improvement of his physical fitness, he was even more happy.
…
On the other side, Zongze is in an exclusive area of challenges.
The opponent he faced was the elemental body of Auglas.
The overall strength is about the same as the Dark Star Zerg that Chen Rui faced.
However, these Auglas elemental bodies are very special. They are completely composed of different elemental magic powers. Their double resistance is 0, but they have an additional 70% physical attack reduction. As a price, they will suffer 150% damage when they withstand magic attacks.
.
In addition, the arms of the Augras elemental body are relatively simple.
It is impossible to achieve complementarity in the configuration of arms.
These elemental bodies are roughly composed of seven elements.
They are:
Water element, gold element, earth element, wood element, fire element, frost element, thunder element.
It does not include shadow, time, space, undead, holy light and other relatively niche elements.
The levels of each element are divided into levels 1 to 5.
There is no division of arms, and the attack method is to throw different elemental light balls.
The number is around 150,000.
Although there are not many of them, due to the powerful physical attack reduction characteristics of the elemental body, the warriors, archers, and spear throwers in Zongze's territory are scolded.
On the contrary, the attacks of the mage troops are particularly effective.
However, the number of spellcasters in Zongze's territory is limited, and even if they are all dispatched, it will be difficult to kill all the elemental bodies.
Fortunately, Aze's luck has always been good. He has received the inheritance of the arcane spirit before and can transform into an arcane spirit. Even if he maintains his human form, he is still gifted with transcendent arcane spells.
Here's the problem, the Augras elemental body is a seven-element category.
These elements will suffer 300% damage when faced with arcane attacks.
At the same time, Zongze's Arcane Heart can draw a bit of power from their core every time it kills an Auglas elemental.
This allows his strength to continuously improve as the battle progresses.
It's just that Zongze is not sure whether the power gained will be taken back by the rules after the challenge is over.
In any case, this characteristic of the elemental bodies made Zongze like a fish in water in this challenge, and so far he has destroyed all the elemental bodies.
Including the elemental king of Oglas who possesses the characteristics of seven elements at the same time.
That guy possesses epic-level high-level strength, but he has no power to fight back in the hands of Zongze, who has transformed into the arcane spirit.
Brother Zongze's luck is still as good as ever.
He relied on the method of destroying one thing at a time and took the lead in killing all the attackers.
Zongze has already taken some time off in this challenge.
In other words, he eliminated all enemies before the countdown reached zero.
However, he had to wait for the return to zero before he could enter the stage of unified return. This did not include the few hours delayed by Zong Shen's reopening.
Anyway, only after the countdown of all lords reaches zero or is judged to have failed, will the unified return phase begin.
At this time, Zongze changed into a clean robe.
His eyes were bright and he was lying leisurely on the top floor platform.
Surrounded by them were cat-eared girls, rabbit-eared girls, and petite but graceful human mage girls. They were naked, holding juicy grape fruit plates in their hands, and feeding them to Zongze one by one.
There was serious polarization among the lords.
A lord who is not doing well is like a refugee in the wasteland.
Lords who are doing well will have meat and fresh fruits every day, and even some lords whose territory is by the sea will have seafood to eat.
The ocean of Endless Continent is extraordinary. In addition to various aquatic races and monsters, the seafood here is also amazing.
Zongze belongs to the group that does well.
Before the challenge started, we purchased a lot of fresh fruits from the indigenous people.
There are many types of fruits in mountainous areas, grapes are just one of them, and all types of fruits are of high quality.
Compared to his younger brother Zongze, his elder brother Zongshen simply lives a very reserved life.
Zong Shen also had many beauties and close friends, but he was so busy every day that he couldn't care less about enjoying them.
There is no need to lie naked in the open air like Zongze.
And it seems that Zongze has long been accustomed to this kind of life.
The lord's small building was relatively closed and shrouded by a special light shield, forming a relatively closed area. While Zongze was eating grapes, he closed his eyes and rested, and from time to time he hugged a slim girl with animal ears next to him and caressed her.
Bundle.
Not to mention how cool this day is.
Zongze's life is an example of the depravity of the lord.
Compared with him, Zong Shen is no different from an ascetic monk.
In the Endless Continent, where life and death are in danger at any time, it is not unusual for lords to indulge their desires. After all, no one can guarantee that they can survive forever, even if they are strong.
And there are no moral standards or laws on earth to limit it here.
The new world and new pattern naturally represent new choices.
"Well..."
"I don't know what happened to my brother."
"It's number one anyway..."
"I don't know what kind of enemies he will face."
Zongze whispered to himself softly, without feeling too worried.
He still has more confidence in his elder brother.
This confidence outweighed his worries about his brother.
Compared to other lords, the best plans for the future.
Zongze seems to be a bit Buddhist, but in fact he also has clear strategic arrangements for himself and the future of his territory.
His idea was to use the mountain as a base and gradually build the territory into a mountain fortress.
Next, he set his sights on the aboriginal cities and giant cities.
Compared with the territory you built from scratch brick by brick, the aboriginal cities are ready-made strongholds.
You can save the construction step and just modify it directly after purchasing it.
However, so far, no lord has been able to occupy aboriginal power points above the village level.
For the time being, state cities and giant cities were beyond the reach of the lords.
Even a state city has a population of hundreds of thousands or even millions depending on its size and development, and has more than 100,000 defenders.
It is not easy to attack head-on.
Don't look at the current situation where Zongze, Caesar Piero, and Chen Rui have all eliminated more than ten or two hundred thousand defenders and challenged the attackers.
But they are on the defensive side and have additional defensive advantages.
If they attack a state city, then they are the attacker and will need to spend several times more troops to defeat it.
Moreover, it is impossible for most lords to master sufficient siege equipment in a short period of time.
Lack of equipment is also a disadvantage.
And for the aboriginal forces, it would be useless even if they beheaded and killed the nobles who were in charge of the city. The aboriginal forces had their own rights system.
This system is very strong. Mere beheadings cannot effectively gain the right to take charge. In addition, once they move the state city, they will have to consider facing attacks from giant city-level crusaders and nearby local forces, churches, and knights.
The follow-up involvement is huge, so we can't attack Bangcheng yet.
Of course, the only way to conquer a state is through force.
You can also choose to build a good relationship with the aboriginal people, and even gain the favor of the great nobles to be canonized and appointed to be in charge of the city.
All in all, from a certain perspective, the indigenous forces are a treasure trove for the development of the lords.
Zongze also has a series of rigorous plans for this.
Maybe he won't be able to become the strongest lord, but at least he will have the opportunity to fight alongside his brother in the future. He doesn't seek merit, he just wants not to be a hindrance.
Maybe his ambition is not as big as Zong Shen, but he already has his own set of survival wisdom and standards.
Some people have the goal of conquering the world, while others always want to settle down and make a living.
Zongze belongs to the latter group.
In this vast world, he can settle down, protect himself and his loved ones, and live a relatively leisurely life, which is very satisfying for him.
He was lying on a large reclining chair, enjoying the massage service from the cat-eared girl and the rabbit-eared girl. His thoughts sometimes became empty, and sometimes he flew to the distant other side.
After thinking about it, he was looking forward to the time when his parents would come.
He and his brother are both single, so it doesn't matter if they have three wives and four concubines.
