Chapter 104: Chapter 38 Territory Leaderboard

Lin Rui reached out to lift the blanket, only to find Audrey lying on his chest, sleeping soundly, her chubby face with a trickle of crystal-clear liquid at the corner of her mouth. A deep cleavage was formed by the pressure against her soft, snow-white skin, completely exposing her snow-white thighs outside the crumpled nightgown. Under the sunlight, her young and delicate body appeared graceful and beautiful.

Last night, because she started to grope around, they ended up getting on each other’s nerves and neither had a peaceful sleep.

Now she was still reluctant to get up, so Lin Rui had to push her head gently to wake her, saying, "Stop sleeping, it’s time to get up and deal with important matters."

After speaking, Lin Rui pinched her slightly baby-fat pretty face with both hands to pull her awake.

Audrey finally opened her amethyst-like big eyes. Seeing Lin Rui’s face clearly, she was instantly filled with youthful energy. Sitting excitedly in front of Lin Rui, she propped herself up with her hands on her thighs, leaned closer with a cheeky smile in her eyes, and asked, "Lord, do you like it? Isn’t it more comfortable than sleeping alone?"

Lin Rui lifted the blanket and commented, "The experience is terrible, it’s still more relaxing sleeping alone."

"Ah, the bad experience is because Lord has an impure heart, always thinking indecently."

"Put on your clothes! Go out and do something meaningful!"

"Hehe, alright then. Which outfit does Lord like me to wear?"

Audrey pulled Lin Rui to sit at the bedside and watched her change into various new outfits, especially needing his opinion for any except for the black ones.

While she was changing clothes, Lin Rui noticed several private messages in the private chat channel.

The latest one was from Chu Wudi, remaining brief as ever: "Can you tolerate this? This is unlike you."

What the hell? No beginning or end.

Then there were messages from "Lin Rui’s Wallet Leakage," which was Dingji, who left quite a few messages, and with his usual enthusiasm.

A dense row of messages, pushing back: "Boss, are you not awake yet?"

"Boss?"

"Boss, are you sleeping?"

"How can I endure this! I’ve already fiercely scolded him on the world channel on your behalf."

"Boss, he actually dared to mock you!"

"Boss, did you see the Civil Channel? Someone is hanging you out to dry."

Lin Rui quickly figured out the whole story; someone was calling him out and mocking him on the Civil Channel.

Are you sick?

I’m a person of good character, with a sunny disposition, love for life, and friendly helpfulness. If not adored by everyone, I am still as precious as a national treasure.

Whom did I offend to be singled out and cursed?

Lin Rui immediately opened the Civil Channel.

Usually barren and empty, the Civil Channel was surprisingly lively, with dozens of messages.

Lin Rui quickly scrolled to the top: "Civil Announcement: An Explorer has successfully advanced to territory; the territory leaderboard function is now open, as is the Plane War function."

"Civil Announcement: Explorer ID: 83202357198 has successfully initiated the Plane War function, establishing a bright landmark in the progress of civil expansion! Awarded with a Tier Two Rare-level unit."

"Ding! The first Plane War will officially start one month after the Plane War function opens. The top ten thousand on the territory leaderboard can participate in the Plane War and earn merits. After the Plane War ends, rewards will be given based on merit rankings. Merits can be exchanged for various precious items."

Lin Rui checked the announcement’s timestamp, 3:45 am!

Are my Blue Star compatriots all overachievers? They’re still developing their territory at this hour.

No matter how you look at it, this doesn’t seem normal. If it’s late sleep, it’s excessively late; if it’s early rise, it’s excessively early. You have to let the settlers rest, right? Even a production team’s donkey won’t work endlessly like this.

Monroe Fitch: "Haha, as expected, I’m the strongest! Where’s that @Lin Rui: Golden Pansy? Always flaunting on the Civil Channel, how come your territory hasn’t advanced yet?"

Bloodthirsty Frenzy: "Boss is mighty. I bet he used resources for showing off!"

Small Bird Turning Big Eagle: "Your show-off skills aren’t weak either."

Phoenix Seeking: Great Xia: "Boss is mighty, begging to hold onto your thigh."

Zhao Fenghan: Handan City: "Begging for a thigh to hold onto +1."

Monroe Fitch: "Tsk, tsk, he hasn’t even entered the leaderboard, what a waste!"

Luoli: Baofeng City: "What if, just saying, Big Boss Lin Rui is actually sleeping right now?"

Fu Sansui: "Sleeping? At his age, how can he sleep? Get up and move bricks!"

Bloodthirsty Frenzy: "Didn’t expect someone to be his fanboy, and he hasn’t even entered the leaderboard. I bet he used up his money showing off!"

Chu Wudi: "Heh, watching to see a slap in the face."

Lin Rui laughed out of anger and directly @mentioned Bloodthirsty Frenzy in the Civil Channel, mocking, "Idiot, don’t use your entire asset to challenge someone else’s pocket money!"

Qii Wen: "Wow! Boss, you finally showed up. Don’t tell me you really just woke up?"

Wei Qiongshi: Kalan: "It’s already noon, damn! Sleeping until now, isn’t that a bit indulgent?"

Not Every 007 is Called Bond: "This is too enjoyable! Watching peerless beauties dance at night, sleeping in comfort during the day! Why is life for a fellow Explorer so leisurely?"

Bloodthirsty Frenzy: "Heh, show-off, make it onto the leaderboard first!"

Monroe Fitch: "Lin Rui, I still have you underfoot!"

Lin Rui decisively found the leaderboard interface, and the interface notification sounded instantly.

"Ding! Golden Pansy Territory has entered the forefront of multiple leaderboards, announce the name?"

Announce! I’m not paranoid to think someone can follow up through the leaderboard and beat me up, right? Besides, with the territory’s strength, anyone coming over to challenge is just gifting experience.

Then Lin Rui began to check the leaderboards.

"Territory Administration Board: [Score 69], Rank [118,598]"

"Territory Reputation Board: [Score 29], Rank [198,511]"

"Territory Merit Rankings: [Score 19], Ranking [265645]"

"Territory Area Rankings: [Score 5], Ranking [Not Listed]"

"Territory Military Strength Rankings: [Score 89], Ranking [198]"

"Territory Potential Rankings: [Score 97], Ranking [89]"

"Territory Wealth Rankings: [Score 5589], Ranking [1]"

"Territory Overall Strength Rankings: [Score 98], Ranking [46]"

After reading, Lin Rui couldn’t help but marvel at how the nearly ten billion people on Blue Star are indeed full of hidden talents. Surely those with top comprehensive strength scores have been favored by the divine spirits.

In that case, the ranking of the Golden Pansy Domain is actually quite forward.

No matter how you look at it, the Goddess of Fortune isn’t considered an especially powerful Main God. Her level of intervention in the real continent surely can’t compare to those stronger gods like the Earth Mother Goddess, God of Light, Forest God, or War God. However, her Divine Chosen Warrior climbed up to rank 46, which is definitely ahead of her position among the deities.

Lin Rui was smugly pleased, not having lost face for the family.

Upon reopening the civilization interface, it was in an uproar.

Bloodthirsty Frenzy: "Hahaha, this kills me, acting high and mighty and ending up in ranks of tens or hundreds of thousands, with some not even making the list."

Your Wang Yiyun: Nightwind City: "...I strongly suggest you keep on reading."

Green and Yellow Cabbage: "Ahhh! Big shot, can I get a friend spot, I’ll send you black silk, dance for you, have your kids! Begging for support ahhh!"

A Man at 31 is a Flower: "!!!!! My damn Krypton Gold Dog Eye is blinded!!! Isn’t this dog’s leaderboard score only double digits? What is happening with those terrifying long numbers on the Wealth Rankings, big shot!!!"

Sano Hinata: "Lord Lin, shocking! My, respect!"

Dingji Laogu: "Big shot, you are indeed extravagantly inhumane. Please accept my bow."

Chu Wudi: "So wealthy yet negotiating prices with me, you truly have the nerve. When it comes to dogs, it’s gotta be you."

Evil Ghost Blade Hero: "@Bloodthirsty Frenzy, come out and face the music."

Bloodthirsty Frenzy: "Heh, turns out to be a rich but clueless fool. Need Daddy to help you spend it?"

Lin Rui: Golden Pansy: "If you kneel and slap yourself twice, show me a clown’s performance, I can reward you with pocket money, guaranteeing it’s richer than all your assets."

Bloodthirsty Frenzy: "Pretentious, I"

Lin Rui: Golden Pansy: "Out of words? Truly a weakling, I haven’t even tried, and you collapse!"

Green and Yellow Cabbage: "Big shot, so handsome! I want to have your children!"

Monroe Fitch: "Hmph, money with no power. Just guarding wealth for others."

Lin Rui glanced at Monroe’s ranking, 79th in the Military Strength Rankings.

Then replied in the civilization chat channel: "These scores are just for reference. Do you really think being 79th means you can beat my 198th?"

Monroe Fitch: "Stubborn as a dead duck."

Green and Yellow Cabbage: "Big shot, go for it! I support you, trample him!"

Qin Mo: Sin City: "Makes sense, this ranking is just for rough reference."

Green and Yellow Cabbage: "Wow, the third-ranked big shot in Military Strength Rankings has appeared!"

Noesen Moonlight Forest: "Not convinced? Want to try a fight?"

Green and Yellow Cabbage: "Wow wow wow! The number one big shot in Military Strength Rankings has appeared!"

Yekaterina: Ice City: "Oh, I see a bunch of rich folks here. It’s really lively today."

Quinn Constantine: "Want to brawl? Count me in. My big blade is already itching. Awaiting you at the plane battlefield."

Lin Rui lightly shook his head, seeing all these experts emerge because of this ranking list.

But the list is just that, a true power comparison isn’t about how many units or elites, but how much you can maximize those army’s strengths.

With Lin Rui’s strong battlefield control ability, the strength of the Golden Pansy Family’s army can at least double. Most territories ahead in the rankings are not his match at all.

However, since these fools believe that scores mean everything, Lin Rui will give them a surprise!

Then Lin Rui decisively got dressed and headed to the trading market.

Audrey’s anxious voice called out from behind: "Lord, don’t leave, which dress should I wear? Eh eh, Lord, wait for me."

Around the trading market, various resources had piled up like a mountain, blocking the surroundings completely.

The territory’s civil servant Soro saw Lin Rui and quickly approached, reporting: "Lord, please allow me to report on the resource situation. There are currently 135158 Realm Coins, 158421 food, 172392 wood, 152578 iron ore, 182808 stone ore, 17436 gems across the territory."

Lin Rui did some mental math, which exceeded his estimated numbers greatly, prompting him to ask: "How did it increase so much?"

Soro quickly explained: "Mainly because, Lord, you used the blessings of the God of Harvest, doubling the output of all resources within 48 hours. The Fisherman’s Hut and Hunter’s Lodge produced over 560 units of food yesterday. More crucially, the Fishman Camp’s production doubled, 1000 Little Fishmen caught 4000 units of fish meat and more than 5000 Realm Coins exploded out, as well as over a hundred pieces of ordinary-level equipment. The knights also found a piece of Excellence Level Equipment in their camp, which probably dropped after attacking wild monsters."

Lin Rui was pleased, finally starting to enjoy the joy of farming. A single Little Fishman producing two units of fish meat a day was a hundredfold difference compared to the fishermen and hunters. But with a thousand Fork-Holding Little Fishmen in the Fishman Camp, they could provide 4000 units of food daily, almost catching up with what Lin Rui’s troops reaped. Moreover, generating over ten thousand Realm Coins was very lucrative.

Indeed, to become rich, one must strengthen the Special Building Plan.

It’s just a pity that Lin Rui has more important things to strengthen now.

Lin Rui instructed Audrey: "Gather all the territory’s troops and move all these supplies in front of the Goddess Pendulum, we’re conducting a super sacrifice to the Goddess today."

Soon Lundestadte came to Lin Rui, returning the Trial Mirror with both hands.

Lin Rui asked: "Have you challenged it?"

Lundestadte replied: "Challenged it once last night, gained a lot. My lord, please forgive my presumptuousness, today I troubled the Woodland Fairy to help fully restore my Spiritual Energy for another challenge."

Lin Rui waved his hand: "It’s fine, the Woodland Fairy has a Spiritual Recovery Speed bonus among plants, and during my sleep, their Spiritual Energy was about to fully recover. How was the experience challenging the mirror image?"

Lundestadte replied solemnly: "Learned many combat techniques, felt enlightened, suddenly cleared. But really can’t think of how to defeat it, the mirror image is overwhelmingly strong, complete enhancement of personal abilities, leaving no hope."
