Announcement: District 132 of the Primordial World had suffered three consecutive defeats in Cross-Regional Challenges. All Chosen Ones in District 132 had their attributes reduced by 10 points!
Nan Feng, who had been waiting for the result, suddenly received the system announcement and was startled.
Three straight losses meant every Chosen One in the entire district would lose 10 points from all attributes?
That punishment was way too harsh, wasn't it?
(District 68) Cheng Mo: "Haha, Ye Piaoling won too. Let's see if Sakura Country still dares to act so arrogant now!"
(District 381) Lin Tianqi: "Minus 10 to all attributes? Isn't that basically like losing two levels? Does that mean I can bully him too?"
(District 17) Xiao Angran: "I suggest challenging Sakura Kojiro after reaching level 6. That will give you a higher chance of winning."
(District 527) Nan Feng: "Tsk, tsk. Sakura Kojiro's strength has plummeted. Everyone, hurry up and plunder District 132's resources."
As soon as Nan Feng made that suggestion, quite a few Chosen Ones from other districts were tempted.
There were quite a few districts that possessed Cross-Region Challenge Tokens now, but many people had kept them without using them.
Besides having to consider the overall strength of other countries, a major reason was that they did not know whom to challenge.
What if they picked someone as tough as Nan Feng?
Losing would be humiliating, and they would also have to hand over 10% of their resources. Who could stand that?
But things were different now. Sakura Kojiro had lost 10 points in every attribute, which meant losing a total of 40 attribute points. That was an extremely terrifying debuff.
After all, leveling up only added 5 points to every attribute!
Even with the 5 free attribute points awarded upon leveling up, that was only 25 points.
This debuff had directly knocked Sakura Kojiro down by one and a half levels.
Against a level 5 opponent, Sakura Kojiro might still be able to struggle, but against a level 6 opponent, he would definitely lose.
Were there few level 6 Chosen Ones now?
Not at all.
Basically, every district in the top 200 had level 6 powerhouses, and there were even quite a few level 7 powerhouses.
There was no need for Nan Feng to stir things up before plenty of people would kick someone while they were down.
After all, winning a challenge could increase resources by 10%!
Nan Feng could foresee that over the next day or two, quite a few people would challenge District 132 and claim this huge resource package.
(District 132) Sakura Kojiro: "Everyone, please stop challenging our district. I know I was wrong. Please leave me a way to survive!"
(District 132) Fuyudo Yuta: "We can't even defeat ferocious beasts of the same level now. In just these few minutes, dozens of our compatriots have been killed by ferocious beasts."
The Chosen Ones of District 132 were terrified of being challenged again and hurriedly came out to play the victim.
Nan Feng smiled. He did not feel the slightest bit of sympathy for the Chosen Ones of Sakura Country.
If Nan Feng had not won today, then their battle zone would be the one in such a miserable state now.
"Enough chatting. Time to head out and level up."
Nan Feng stopped reading, closed the panel, and walked out of the Wooden Cabin.
District 132's situation served as a warning to Nan Feng.
He had to improve his strength as quickly as possible to deal with the Cross-Regional Challenges that might come next!
Because if he lost three matches in a row, the consequences would be more than Nan Feng could bear.
"Today's goal: reach level 6."
Nan Feng set a small goal for himself and strode toward the northwest.
That mine from yesterday had been crawling with spiders. It was a great place to level up, so Nan Feng decided to go again.
He could also see whether he could deal with the Cave Spider King and conquer the mine.
After thinking for a moment, Nan Feng opened the panel, entered the Handsome Men Group, and sent a message.
Nan Feng: "My curly-haired guys, does anyone want to team up and level?"
Huang Yuanming: "Yo, is the boss going to carry me? Where are we leveling?"
Nan Feng: "Yesterday's mine. Aren't all those spiders just experience points?"
Su Ziran: "My sister and I are already here."
Wu Yuansheng: "Damn, as expected, those close to the water get the moon first. Xu Ming and I are here too."
Wu Li: "I'm not coming. There are more ferocious beasts around my Wooden Cabin, so I need to clear them out first."
More ferocious beasts...
Nan Feng looked around and did indeed spot many signs of Ironclaw Rats and Redeye Rabbits.
More ferocious beasts meant more experience, which would make leveling more efficient. That was good news.
Nan Feng: "Today, we can try and see if we can kill the Cave Spider King."
Nan Feng: "Yesterday, I noticed that the Cave Spider King was too large. It seemed to be stuck in the passage on the right and couldn't get out."
Su Ziran: "Is that so... Then we'll have much more room to work with."
Wu Yuansheng: "Lure the Cave Spider King to the entrance, and I'll shoot it dead with arrows."
After discussing it in the group for a while, everyone felt they could give it a try.
Even if they could not kill the Cave Spider King, they could still kill some smaller spiders.
Either way, they would not lose out.
After ending the chat, Nan Feng took another look at the rankings.
Rank 1: Xiao Luo (Level 5) Rank 2: Su Ziran (Level 5) Rank 3: Su Yihan (Level 5) Rank 4: Nan Feng (Level 5) ...
"These freaks probably got up at six in the morning to level, didn't they?"
Nan Feng was speechless. He had barely warmed the seat at number one before someone had already replaced him.
Fortunately, Nan Feng had still been in first place when Sakura Kojiro initiated the challenge.
If Sakura Kojiro had challenged him a little later, then Xiao Luo would have fought Sakura Kojiro instead.
Nan Feng did not know how strong Xiao Luo was.
But against Sakura Kojiro, Nan Feng did not think Xiao Luo had much chance of winning.
That was close.
After closing the panel, Nan Feng put away the Desert Eagle, equipped the Wooden Dagger, and quickly headed toward the mine.
The Wooden Dagger added 6 points of agility, allowing Nan Feng to move faster.
Along the way, Nan Feng casually cleared out several ferocious beasts blocking his path and arrived outside the mine without incident.
When Su Ziran saw Nan Feng arrive, he gave a slight nod. "You're here."
"Yeah." Nan Feng nodded as well, then turned to Su Yihan with a grin. "Good morning, healer~"
A faint blush appeared on Su Yihan's cold face. She glared at Nan Feng. "Go away. Don't talk to me."
"Sure thing!"
Nan Feng did not waste any more words. He quickly ran over to Xu Ming and Wu Yuansheng, then began hunting spiders to push for levels.
Su Yihan could not help rolling her eyes. "Getting so excited over killing spiders? What a straight guy."
"Killing spiders is fun." Su Ziran waved the short blade in his hand and joined the spider-hunting force.
Su Yihan was speechless.
There had still been many Spiderlings in the cave yesterday, but today, they had all become Cave Spiders.
In just one night, they had grown much stronger.
But that suited Nan Feng perfectly. A level 4 Cave Spider could provide him with 20 experience points, while a level 3 Spiderling could only provide 10.
Of course, hunting Cave Spiders was more worthwhile.
After more than two hours, everyone finally cleared out all the Cave Spiders outside the cave.
During those two hours, Nan Feng had been fighting with his dagger, training his close-combat ability.
Su Ziran pointed into the cave and looked at everyone questioningly. "So, what do you think? Should we go in and take a look?"
"Of course. We've wiped out all the underlings, so naturally we should go see the boss."
Relying on the fact that his health was still in good condition, Nan Feng took the lead toward the cave.
The others hurried after him.
Only when they were close to the fork in the path did Nan Feng slow down and cautiously look toward the passage on the right.
The passage on the right was pitch-black, and he could not see what was inside.
Nan Feng hurled the torch deep into the passage.
Whoosh!
Eight basketball-sized eyes instantly opened and turned toward Nan Feng.
It was the Cave Spider King!
