Perfect Record

"So, if we calculate it that way, 20 servings of Rye Bread a day will only earn you 3000 Psionic Points? After deducting your transportation costs, the profit will be less than 3000."

Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly. "Including other items, the daily profit should reach three or four thousand."

"Three or four thousand a day, that's a hundred thousand Psionic Points a month, that's quite a lot!" Li Shuyi smiled brightly, as if she could see the glow of a full set of +7 equipment. "Xiao Wen, it was such a wise decision to give up the other Gold Equipment option offered by Prince Nicholas and choose the Permanent Fief Deed."

Bai Xiaowen laughed, "No, five pieces of Gold Equipment that can be freely chosen are not cheap. Moreover, a fiefdom needs someone to manage it in order to generate revenue, and Cecilia plays a crucial role in this regard. Without her, maintaining the security of the territory would be a problem, not to mention the threat of the Zombie horde throughout the entire Northern Frontier."

Cecilia is a level 6 Boss Tier with a group of loyal knights under her command, which is why she can maintain the safety of White Stone City amidst the surrounding Zombie. Moreover, Cecilia herself is a lord with her own fiefdom, and she has ample experience in governing her territory and managing her city, which is why she can provide Bai Xiaowen with a continuous stream of psionic items.

Bai Xiaowen felt he owed Cecilia a lot. As a hands-off lord, he could offer Cecilia very little help. So when he returned, Bai Xiaowen left Zombie Doctor behind, hoping to help Cecilia alleviate some of the pressure from the Zombie siege.

With the help of Zombie Doctor's potion, coupled with Cecilia's personal strength and training ability, eradicating the mindless Zombie horde in White Stone Fief and even the entire Northern Frontier should not be a problem, although it will take a considerable amount of time.

Of course, in this process, White Stone Fief will also have room for development. Bai Xiaowen also checked that buildings such as Mill and blacksmith shops can be upgraded to higher-level buildings and undergo a qualitative change when the territory's prosperity level reaches a certain level and there are enough professional talents.

For example, Mill can be upgraded to a food factory; a blacksmith shop can be upgraded to a forging workshop; a stable can be upgraded to Beast Pen; an inscription shop can be upgraded to a library...

As the territory expands, Bai Xiaowen will gradually conquer not only the low-end market in the beginner zone, but also the markets in the intermediate and advanced zones.

Li Shuyi had initially felt quite fond of Cecilia, but due to Bai Xiaowen, she inevitably developed some feelings of repulsion. However, now that she could also appreciate Cecilia's contributions and importance, her repulsion dissipated, and she even reminded Bai Xiaowen:

"If you have time, go visit Cecilia in your territory often... She's been supporting your territory all by herself, and it must be hard for her to see you in such a long time... Don't look at me like that, I'm not kidding you! I just feel that compared to her, I can't help you much, but I can be with you every day... What do I have to complain about?"

Bai Xiaowen smiled, picked up Li Shuyi, spun her around twice, and inhaled the fragrance of her fair neck. "Don't talk nonsense, your help to me is far greater than you think..."

"Stop spinning me around... I, I'm a little dizzy..." Li Shuyi's face was flushed.

"I'm a little dizzy too..." Bai Xiaowen put his arm around her slender yet firm waist, chuckled, "I can't stand up straight, I'm going to fall..."

With a gasp from Li Shuyi, the two fell onto the soft bed with a thud.

The qualifying rounds in the Jianghai Division are still ongoing.

The second week's match is against Suhang University. Although Suhang University does not have Hero Class, its captain Geng Chen, is a level 6 Elite Class, and his strength is quite formidable. Many guilds have expressed interest in him and extended offers.

Because Geng Chen is a tank-type Awakener, and his class is "Heavy Armor Warrior": every 10 points of armor grants an additional 1 point of strength!

Strength is the second most important attribute for tank-type Awakened characters, second only to Constitution! Only with sufficient strength can tank-type Awakened characters avoid being knocked back or pushed away in repeated clashes with the BOSS, hold their position, and give their teammates enough space to deal damage.

In addition, the Strength attribute can improve the efficiency of Block and Parry for warriors, thus also enhancing their survivability.

Geng Chen's physique is as high as 36 points, and his armor adds an extra 20 points to his armor, bringing his armor value to 56, making his defense quite formidable.

The additional 5.6 points of strength bring Geng Chen's total strength to a high of 27 points. If he hadn't used a one-handed sword and shield fighting style, his output would certainly not be lower than that of a violent warrior of the same level.

The battle mode drawn is "True Kill Mode," which is most suitable for the Heavy Armor Warrior Geng Chen to give full play to his strengths and protect his teammates.

However, the Suhang University team still lost to the Jinghai University team led by Bai Xiaowen, and they were completely outmatched.

Captain Geng Chen was Stitched Monster Fatty and the Skeleton Mage, a combination of ranged and melee attacks, as if he were stuck in a quagmire. Meanwhile, Bai Xiaowen still had four Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier and Rageclaw and Shadow Assassin who could fight— Vampire Kitz, however, did not get a chance to appear.

The remaining four members of the Jinghai University team were originally stronger than the other four members of the Suhang University team. With the support of Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures, they were defeated one by one. In the end, only Geng Chen was left, and he had no chance to turn the tide. He could only suffer a defeat.

In the third week of the competition, the match against Xuhuai University was another Overwhelming Crush victory.

Wang Jin, the captain of Xuhuai University, is a professional Judoka with a strength stat of 40. All three of his professional skills are grappling and throwing techniques, making him very adept at fighting in confined spaces.

The match mode drawn for this game is "Boss Challenge Mode". Each of the two teams will face a level 7 Boss Tier (choose one of three). Without interfering with each other, whoever defeats the Boss Tier will win.

The Boss Challenge Mode is the most unfriendly mode for Wang Jin, Judoka who relies on strength. Even if Boss Tier level 7 Boss Tier isn't a strength-specific type, its strength value will generally be around 30 or 40 points, not much less than Wang Jin's. Moreover, level 7 Boss Tier have control reduction abilities, which reduces the control time of Wang Jin's throw skills by almost half.

Fortunately, it was a choice of three, Xuhuai University ultimately chose a Boss Tier with a special Mental Specialty: the Blood Witch.

Then... Xuhuai University began a series of wipeouts and retrying. There was no way around it; their Boss Tier, a master of Mental Specialty, had the most unpredictable and elusive fighting style. If they didn't understand the skills and the patterns in their execution, how could they possibly defeat him?

The match ended when Xuhuai University was wiped out for the second time. Jinghai University successfully pushed down the BOSS, Ranger General, on their first attempt.

If defeating Suhang University showcased Bai Xiaowen's battlefield command and teamwork abilities, then defeating Xuhuai University was entirely a solo performance by Bai Xiaowen. The Stitched Monster support MT Han Xu was perfectly capable of withstanding the attacks of the agile BOSS, Ranger General. Some potentially lethal single-target skills that could have wiped out the team were blocked by the Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier that Bai Xiaowen Targeted Airdrop. The rest of the team could comfortably deal damage and focus on beating up the BOSS.

In the fourth week, Bai Xiaowen led his team to an easy victory over Tongjiang University, the weakest team. As one local newspaper reporter put it in a headline, this wasn't a battle, but a massacre.

With this, Jinghai University has won all four matches, tying for first place with Jiangnan University with a record of 4-0.
