184 Chapter - Bai Cheng'S Development Plan

Bai Cheng looked back to see Leng Ningxue pointing at the screen.

“It’s Liu San.”

Hearing this, she was a little surprised, not expecting him to choose to contact her first, even after understanding the rules.

Bai Cheng stepped forward and looked at the message he sent.

“Miss Bai Cheng, my troop type is Death Shadow, a troop that can transform into a shadow, pass through walls, and move very quickly. And from what I understand, it’s also immortal and indestructible!”

“We’re both in the Rainforest. How about I try to find a way to meet up with you? At least this way, after the protection period ends, we’ll have a better chance against other leaders…”

Bai Cheng was slightly stunned. Liu San had told her everything, truthfully relaying all the known characteristics of his troop type.

And Bai Cheng could only draw one conclusion: Liu San’s troop type was extremely strong!

Even its immortal and indestructible characteristic meant that a single Death Shadow soldier was enough to render her eight hundred human warriors completely helpless.

Although unwilling to admit it, the reality was that exaggerated.

“Is this what the system calls balance?”

It was hard to imagine that in a transcendent world, someone’s army would consist of ordinary humans!

Bai Cheng’s mouth twitched, but she still [N O V E L I G H T] replied, “Let’s first confirm the island’s terrain and our respective locations.”

After all, it was still unclear how big this island was, and if by unfortunate chance, the two of them were distributed on opposite sides of the Rainforest area, then talking about meeting up might be a bit unrealistic.

Suppressing Liu San’s restless mood, Bai Cheng then received a message from Qing Niao.

Chi Yan translated for her: “Young Miss, Qing Niao says this island is very large. He flew up past the clouds and still couldn’t see its boundaries.”

“That big?” The three of them were all a bit surprised.

Clearly, the previous island and this Liuhe Island were not on the same level at all.

Either it was truly enormous, or there were special restrictions at the boundary preventing further exploration by the employees.

“What about just this Rainforest?” Bai Cheng asked again.

Chi Yan continued, “According to the terrain distribution Qing Niao has scouted, the Rainforest area should be at the very center of the island, distributed in a circular shape, and the outer perimeter is likely enveloped by the five major terrains…”

“I see.” Bai Cheng nodded.

She had now largely understood the specific content of the trial and had a clear grasp of their current predicament.

And the next goal was very clear.

After the protection period ended, they absolutely had to seize the neutral monster strongholds immediately and then rapidly develop their army.

Of course, the above was just what a typical lord would do.

After realizing she only had an early-game advantage, Bai Cheng was absolutely not going to let this opportunity slip away.

“Qing Niao, I want you to scout the surrounding situation during this one-day protection period. Find at least three other lords’ locations!”

Qing Niao had the advantage of flight, making him perfectly suited for mapping out this dense Rainforest.

He respectfully acknowledged her command and then flew into the sky once more.

At this moment, Yu Nian, seeing this, also walked over with a puzzled expression and asked, “Xiao Cheng, aren’t we going to look for monster strongholds?”

To her surprise, Bai Cheng waved her hand and laughed, “Why look for them? I have my own development plan.”

Leng Ningxue, standing nearby, raised an eyebrow, as if she had guessed: “Are we going to directly attack their homes?”

“Exactly,” Bai Cheng nodded in confirmation, “Wang Da also said just now that it might be impossible for a single lord to conquer these monster strongholds in a short time. Why waste effort there?”

After all, they didn’t need to directly confront the War General-level employees of other Survivors.

As long as they dealt with the weaker lords, couldn’t they still achieve victory directly?

This method was about catching them by surprise. As long as they could eliminate the other nineteen leaders hidden in the Rainforest as quickly as possible, this trial would be completely over.

Of course, even if some guys were smart enough to directly accompany their employees and army to battle, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

Destroying their castles could still prevent these people from continuing to summon armies, severely limiting their power development.

“However, relying solely on the employees to accomplish all of this is still a bit too much. This trial is, after all, themed around lords.”

Bai Cheng said, then called over a human soldier and commanded, “Take off all the equipment on you.”

“Yes, My Lord.”

He respectfully agreed, without any superfluous words, and immediately began to comply.

The soldiers’ equipment was actually very simple: just a set of animal skin clothes, which weren’t even really armor, and a two-meter-long iron spear.

Yu Nian and Leng Ningxue, standing nearby, looked on in confusion until they saw Bai Cheng take out the cheng book.

“Xiao Cheng, are you planning to…”

“Yes, since it’s a lord game, even though our troop type is weak, we still have to develop it,” she explained.

“Since we can’t change the inherent weakness of humans, we can only start with equipment to give them some enhancements!”

There were a total of three pieces of equipment, and it would take three days to enhance all of them.

After all, whether it was legendary clothing or legendary weapons, they were all automatically bound.

What Bai Cheng needed to do was to enhance a set of equipment to Epic-grade through the cheng book, then have Yu Nian’s talent perform batch replication, and finally arm all the human troops.

Between weapons and armor, the latter clearly offered better value for money.

After all, Bai Cheng didn’t care about the combat power of the human army; their only purpose was to stall the enemy.

One should know that Bai Cheng herself could also summon Death Shadow, and in a chaotic battle, she had no fear of other lords at all.

Seeing Bai Cheng begin to upgrade the clothes, Yu Nian immediately added.

“Xiao Cheng, if you get a chance later, take me to kill a Survivor. Once I collect their Life Artifact, I can mass-replicate it, and then arm the army!”

At these words, Bai Cheng and Leng Ningxue were both stunned: “Life Artifacts can be used by others?”

“They’re replicas. They’re actually just ordinary weapons with their special properties removed, so of course they won’t be affected,” Yu Nian said with an air of matter-of-factness.

No one had expected them to participate in a lord mission to summon armies and fight, so they hadn’t understood or paid attention to this particular attribute of Yu Nian’s Life Artifact.

Bai Cheng’s face immediately lit up with joy: “That’s wonderful! This way, the time needed to arm all the troops will be even shorter!”

At least three days could be reduced to two days.

Soon, as a purple light flashed from the clothes in Bai Cheng’s hand, it completed its upgrade.

The three of them curiously went to the screen to check the information.

“Name: Demon-Slaying Knight’s Breastplate”

“Quality: Epic”

“Description: This silver armor possesses extremely high defensive capabilities. It can also resist mental damage and inflict a certain backlash on spirit-type monsters.”

“Evaluation: Perhaps it should be paired with a long spear and a warhorse?”

Seeing the evaluation, Bai Cheng immediately reacted: “That reminds me!”

She turned and called out, “Chi Yan!”
