Chapter 220: Difficulty Ratings

Li Chunhua was used to the stingy system’s gigs and didn’t react so strongly. She would be more shock if it suddenly became generous.

[Players be ready!]

[Here are the rules of the tide!]

[Rule no 1. The number of waves and the numbers of monsters each wave will depend on the difficulty ratings your territory will receive. The greater the difficulty, the richer the rewards.]

[Rule no. 2. To clear the tide, the players must defeat all the monsters and prevent them from destroying your territory crystal.]

The players gazed on the direction of their residence especially Li Chunhua.

Even the whole territory is destroyed as long as the crystal is intact before the last monster is killed, you can pass the round.

[Rule no. 3. The territory’s performance in the Monsters Tide will be recorded in a screen separate from the existing ones and the top 100 will be given bonus rewards.]

[Weekly Monster Tide Global Leaderboard]

[Individual Killing Count (Top 1 to Top 100)]

[Territory Killing Count (Top 1 to Top 100)]

Right now, the two new screens were empty.

Wait...if the difficulty rating is low, the number of monsters wouldn’t be high and their chances in entering the ranking would be low too. This seems to be in favor for those with big territories.

The players realized this point after thinking.

Sun Qinghe was eyeing rewards but at the same time, afraid of getting higher rating and taking risk.

But if all the kills can be registered under his name, there would possibility for him to squeeze in the ranks under the Individual Category.

After giving him a thought, Sun Qinghe decided, "Boys, let me deliver the final blow on the monsters, so we can get the rewards."

"But..." The others wanted to say something only to be silenced by Sun Qinghe and his native assassin’s dark gazes.

"...Yes, Boss."

In the Salted Fish Territory, Li Chunhua doesn’t give a damn about the top rankings and only wanted to rest early.

[Now, for the ratings! They say ’With greater power comes with greater responsibility and Heroes are born from tumultuous times!’ To ensure the fairness of the game and balance the influence of your luck, the rating difficulty is implemented.]

Bullshit...

Li Chunhua sent her deathest glares at the sky. At least ask our opinion if it align to yours!

After listing the rules, another screen appeared on top of every territory with the territory’s name and 0 points. The system designed the borders with skeletons and skulls and thick wisps of black smoke emitted from the edges to amplify the fear effect.

Li Chunhua remembered the exact measurement of the ratings: [D- 100-199 points], [C-200-499 points], [B- 500-999 points], [A-1000-9999 points], [S-10,000-99,999 points], [SS-100,000- 999, 9999 points], and [SSS-1,000,000 points and above].

In the first weekly tide, Xun Minsheng got the highest rating with the score of B after recruiting so many players and plundering territories. Scarlet Tempest and those few among the top ten were rated C and the rest was D.

Li Chunhua wished it wouldn’t go any higher for her.

At the first sound of ominous ’ding’, the numbers changed and continued rolling.

Every landowner received a notification and the corresponding points.

Green Thumb’s Territory...

Miao Miao grasped a corner of Grandpa Qian’s clothes while looking at the number continuously rising.

Grandpa Qian was also nervous.

Not only him but Scarlet Tempest, the Falcon Squad, Long Zurui, Celestial Palace, Sun Qinghe, Dauntless Spear. Everyone were fixated on the numbers on the screen.

And the final rating were...

[Riveting Winds- B]

[Celestial Palace- C]

[Dauntless Sky- C]

[Peony Pavilion- C]

[Green Thumb-C]

As for the Salted Fish...

[Points: 1256]

An A-Rating!

When they thought it couldn’t get any worse, the system wasn’t done in assessing...

[Landowner’s Combat Power +...]

Suddenly, the Elf, Long Haoran, and those aware of the cheat’s capability felt something bad will happen.

Li Chunhua swallowed her saliva. She just killed a few bosses, it shouldn’t jump to S, right?

Ancestors please have mercy...

They say there’s this theory called Murphy’s Law that says ’anything than can go wrong will go wrong and at the worst possible time’.

The points stopped increasing and revealed the rating.

[Points: 39,999]

What?

Li Chunhua and everyone’s mouths within the Salted Fish Territory were wide opened and some of them dropped their weapons on the ground.

39,999?

System, you think highly of me! I’m not that strong you know! Take it back! Take it back!

Li Chunhua was cursing at the sky.

However, Murphy’s Law activated again.

[Because of special circumstances, the territory ratings will in increase by 1]

[Congratulations! Your rating is SS!]

Crap...

Li Chunhua’s expression was hard to paint. She had forgotten the ’reward’ from the death envoy’s event.

At this point, it’s better to be zap by 81 tribulation lightning.

Suddenly, she heard a voice.

"Landowner, are we going to die?" Bai Su Su, one of her teammate who was so confident from the start was now soaked with sweat from head to toe and her legs were shaking.

"What are you saying? We’re not." Li Chunhua responded with a crying voice.

Bai Su Su looked at the landowner’s expression crappier than hers and felt more dispirited. "But why are you crying?"

"Because you’re crying too." Li Chunhua responded.

Meng Chu watching them also felt tears streaming down his face.

Just then, the system finished its congratulatory words that were not a bit festive before announcing...

[Let the Monsters Tide Begin! May the Monarch of Luck smile upon you!]

The barriers protecting all the territories in the world disappeared and the sounds of blaring horns signifying the arrival of the first wave resounded all over the planet.

Sounds akin to thousand horse hooves stomping on the ground reverberated among the hearts of everyone along with a tremor.

The crystals staying quietly inside the residence vanished and appeared at the heart of the territory on top of a stone platform rising from the ground.

[Territory Crystal Platform (HP: 2000/2000)

-Def: 34

-Must defend at all cost]

"Roar!"

Because of the crystal shining brightly, they were able to see the situation outside and noticed the rustling of the trees and bushes.

[First Wave Incoming]

[Monster Population: 35/35]

"Crossbows get ready!"

"Archers in position!"

"Warriors defend the artilleries!"

"On my order, 1...2...3...Fire!"

---

Within the shadows of the woods, countless pair of eyes from the visitors from different galaxies observed the territories from afar.

"This is going to be good."

A visitor who picked Newbie Mountain no. 27 saw a flicker of light from the heaven striking the mountain peak.

"What’s that?"

---

Meanwhile, in the Salted Fish Territory, the surroundings on all directions became dark as ink even with the territory crystal providing the light, they couldn’t see anything after the whole territory was engulfed with light.

When they regained their vision, they only saw something two lights from the distance.

Li Chunhua also saw it and infused her eyes with qi. With it, she was able to see two portals and something came out of them. She turned around and also saw two portals on the North, East, and West.

This is bad...

[First Wave]

[Monsters Population: 1000/1000]

1000?

Li Chunhua: (#°Д°)

Salted Fish Residents: (#°Д°)

And this is just the first wave!
