Rewards Revealed, Points Shop Opens!
They killed at least tens of thousands of Chaos Monsters.
This casualty ratio is incredibly high.
It's important to understand that while the first night's offensive wasn't particularly fierce, it was still quite challenging.
Many posts appeared on the forum, saying that such high-intensity battles were too costly, with half of the troops lost in just one night.
At this rate, they won't last until the expansion ends.
As for Shen Xing, the losses were almost negligible.
"However, although the current situation looks good, we cannot let our guard down."
"This Blood Mist Frenzy is no simple matter; besides the Flying Brain, there are many more powerful and troublesome monsters within."
"There's a post on the forum saying that a Master Rank expert's territory was attacked by a mysterious creature, suffering heavy losses, and they didn't even see the monster once."
"Even last night in the mist, I sensed a terrifying aura, even more powerful than the Flying Brain."
Therefore, we must continue to strengthen our territory and utilize all available resources.
Shen Xing made up his mind and looked ahead again.
At this moment, as a large number of monsters retreated into the blood mist, the battle around the territory gradually subsided.
Below the city wall, thousands of soldiers were panting heavily, their chests heaving, clearly exhausted.
Last night's battle, though narrowly avoidable, was incredibly intense.
After all, they killed over 100,000 monsters.
Commander Chu once said something like, "Even if you catch 100,000 pigs, it will take three days."
Although most of the monsters were killed by arrow towers and cannons, the battle lasted for several hours and still consumed a lot of stamina.
Shen Xing looked around and ordered in a deep voice, "Everyone, begin cleaning up the battlefield, leveling the ground, and re-laying traps."
"Afterwards, they split into two groups and took turns going back to rest."
"The crisis is not over. There will be new battles tonight, and we need to remain vigilant!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers responded in unison!
"Yes, my lord/boss!"
After saying that, they quickly got to work and began cleaning up the battlefield.
Shen Xing leaned back in his wheelchair, preparing to open the leaderboard to check his points.
[Current Points: 561659]
"Huh? 560,000 points? That's higher than I expected."
Shen Xing was somewhat surprised, since he had previously calculated it to be around 80,000 points per hour, and six hours would amount to 480,000 points, which far exceeded his expectations.
"I just don't know where my score will rank, and how many people on Blue Star can make it onto the leaderboard."
He murmured to himself, a hint of anticipation in his heart.
Not only Shen Xing, but all the lords from both worlds stood still, waiting for the system notification with tense and apprehensive expressions.
After all, this is not only about their own ranking, but also about the fate of two worlds.
The more lords a world has in the top 1,000, the stronger that world is, and the more advantageous it will be in the upcoming struggle for the 'World Origin'.
When the time reached 06:05, a system notification flashed before everyone's eyes.
[Ding! Attention all Pioneer, congratulations on surviving the first night of the Blood Mist Frenzy!]
The Two Worlds Leaderboard is now open! You can check your ranking through the leaderboard!
[Leaderboard rewards and the Points Shop will be updated in 5 minutes. Please check back then!]
[Please note! The first night's Blood Mist Frenzy is an adaptation period; the difficulty will gradually increase afterward. Please be well-prepared to meet the challenges ahead!]
As soon as the notification ended, the lords of both worlds checked the leaderboard.
The same applies to Shen Xing.
With anticipation, he opened the leaderboard interface.

Chapter 262: Rewards Announced, Points Shop Opens!
The first day of the Blood Mist Frenzy began, at six in the morning.
As the rankings were announced, all the lords of the Blue Star fell silent.
As everyone stared at the long list of names, their eyes gradually shifted from hopeful to disappointed, and eventually even showed a hint of despair.
Although I knew there would be a difference in strength between the two worlds, I didn't expect it to be this huge...
Only two of the top ten on the leaderboard are from Blue Star.
Even when considering the top 1,000, the names from Blue Star only account for less than 30%.
Especially the number one Sand Lord, who amassed two million points in one night, almost a crushing defeat.
What this means is self-evident.
The rules of the Myriad Worlds Arena have been clearly stated: only the victor can possess the World Origin.
This means that the more people from one side of the world enter, the more advantageous it is.
From the very beginning, Blue Star was in a very difficult situation.
A 7:3 ratio is like having two fewer teammates when initiating a team fight in League of Legends. How the hell are you supposed to play like that?
"This is troublesome..."
Shen Xing sighed softly, his brows furrowing slightly. "Once this ranking is released, the morale on Blue Star will suffer an unprecedented blow."
His consciousness shifted out of the Land of Mist, and he checked his phone, where several news items popped up.
These are all the latest updates on this ranking list.
For example:
[Li Yuan of Heavenly Star Nation has broken into the top ten of the rankings, becoming the strongest person on Blue Star with the highest score.]
[The first night's rankings have been released, and the situation is not optimistic.]
The citizens have packed their belongings and are ready to evacuate to the underground shelters.
Shen Xing didn't click on any of these things, but instead logged directly into the Pioneer Forum.
As soon as I entered, I saw a large number of posts about this ranking list refreshed.
"We're doomed! We're all doomed this time! How can there be such a huge difference in the number of powerful individuals between the two worlds?!"
Where have all the Master and Grandmaster of our Blue Star gone?
Is it too late to join the Red Sand World?
Don't be discouraged, everyone! Today is only the first day of the expansion, we still have a chance!
"...
"As expected, the Blue Star is shrouded in gloom and despair."
"The world may become even more chaotic in the coming days."
Shen Xing sighed softly and glanced at the international forum again.
Just as he expected, various countries are now experiencing varying degrees of chaos due to this ranking.
The situation is alright in Heavenly Star Nation, since the official announcement of the sanctuary's existence was made immediately after the expansion's release.
The people of Heavenly Star knew that even if they lost in this ranking, they still had a way out, so they didn't panic too much.
In other countries, however, the situation was different. When people saw the huge disparities in the rankings, they were plunged into despair.
Their government also failed to prepare for this situation.
After all, the manpower and resources required to build an underground shelter are unimaginable.
Although the leaders of these countries all knew that in the future, Blue Star would be completely swallowed up by the Land of Mist.
But it's clearly impossible to get them to expend massive amounts of resources to build shelters for Common.
What do the lives and deaths of Common have to do with them?
