Free Web NovelChapter 242: MVP of the Asia Server, Awakening Crystal!
All were amazed by this handsome and highly intelligent captain from China.
"Turning into a fan, turning into a fan! Although I’m not Chinese, that doesn’t stop me from loving Long Chen." (English)
...
Swish!
Long Chen dismounted from the Ice Dragon King and slowly walked on the blood-soaked ground.
Calmly, he said,
"Zhongkang, pass the order to quickly clean up the battlefield."
Upon hearing this, Xu Chu respectfully acknowledged, "Yes, my lord!"
Immediately after, Long Chen issued another command:
"Zilong, lead fifty thousand troops to the cities we’ve stationed in the southern region."
"Your military duty will be to guard the seven cities in the southern region. Just seven days will suffice."
"At your command!"
After hearing this, Zhao Yun wasted no time and led fifty thousand troops towards the southern region.
Long Chen affectionately glanced at Zhao Yun.
At this moment, Zhao Yun fully displayed both his qualities as a general and a soldier.
As for why Long Chen dispatched his beloved general Zhao Yun, it was because Long Chen valued Zhao Yun and believed he had the strength and capability to handle it!
The seven kingdoms in the southern region were also an important part of Long Chen’s current assets and must not be lost!
The ten cities that had just been captured were now under the management of Guo Jia.
With Guo Jia, the Divine Sage, present, Long Chen could rest assured.
The remaining few cities were personally guarded by Long Chen.
However, it was unlikely that anyone with a death wish would dare to attack Long Chen’s cities again.
After all, the fates of Myanmar and Thailand were now known to all.
Originally, they just wanted to stir up trouble for Long Chen, but in the end, they ended up losing their entire countries.
Who would dare provoke Long Chen again!!!
Seven days later.
The Continental Selection Tournament officially ended, and each continent began to announce the rankings of countries and the Most Valuable Lords (MVP).
"Ding! The Continental Selection Tournament is about to end. Please prepare, lords and players, to return from the virtual battlefield..."
A cold metallic voice echoed in the minds of every lord and player.
Immediately after,
A series of ranking screens appeared in front of every lord and player. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
[Asia Server Country Rankings]
[1st Place: China]
[2nd Place: Sakura Kingdom]
[3rd Place: Saudi Arabia]
[4th Place: Mongolian Empire]
[5th Place: Peacock Kingdom]
...
"Wow! It’s just as I expected. China has become the number one in the Asia server!!!"
"This is a well-known fact. Even placed globally, our China is famous!"
"This era belongs to you!"
"I would say, thanks to the absolute output of Long Chen! Without Dragon Team, our country might have been manipulated and sanctioned by the Sakura Devils at the beginning!"
"Exactly, what the guy above said makes sense."
"I agree!"
...
After the country rankings were released, official rewards were distributed.
Firstly, the top five countries in the Asia server received qualifications to participate in the World Supreme Tournament.
Secondly, the top ten countries received a corresponding amount of resources and land within their countries, rich in resources such as wood, stone, or iron ore.
This had an extremely important impact on the development of the lords in their respective countries.
After all, war was fought with logistics, and logistics relied on resources.
Since the launch of the "Grand Lord" game until now, a considerable amount of time had passed.
Resources within the territories of various countries were basically occupied and obtained by powerful lords or forces.
Now, the top ten ranked countries received these rewards, undoubtedly a booster for the other lords in their countries.
They could continue to develop deeply with the newly acquired resources and strengthen their own strength, thereby enhancing their country’s comprehensive national strength.
The higher the ranking, the more additional resources and land were obtained within the country.
For example, the most resources in the newly added land in the China server were in Yangzhou.
The reason was that Long Chen belonged to Yangzhou’s Jiujian Prefecture, where he had the most contributions and conquered the most cities.
Many viewers and players complained about why they were not born in Yangzhou and wasted such a good opportunity.
"Hehehe! I’m a person from Yangzhou. This is great! I can marry Dragon Team for free~~"
"Yes, yes! And it’s because of Dragon Team’s presence in Yangzhou that we’ve been peaceful and calm for so long. There have been almost no wars in the past few years."
"Oh my god! If what you’re saying is true, then I’ll move to Yangzhou immediately! Wow, my happiness is coming~~"
"Don’t mess around. The rules set by Dragon Team in Yangzhou are strict. Violating the treaty will get you expelled from Yangzhou and sent to the border!"
...
A wave of praise for Yangzhou surged in the chat room.
Countless lord players wanted to personally visit Yangzhou to explore its Feng Shui. If suitable, they planned to settle down in Yangzhou. This had extremely significant implications for Long Chen’s future development.
Firstly, with an increase in population in Yangzhou, it meant more tax revenue that Long Chen could collect, thus increasing his wealth. Moreover, population was a treasure in turbulent times, more precious than gold. With a population came a source of soldiers, which could promote the development and prosperity of various industries, ushering in a golden age.
In summary, this had immense benefits for Long Chen’s future growth. In addition to the newly acquired land resources, each lord player in the country also received a certain amount of basic resources and copper coins. This was a tangible benefit.
Originally, many brainless haters who envied Long Chen disappeared from sight due to this reward. Even if they continued to criticize, the ultimate result would only be experiencing online bullying.
Long Chen’s actions and behavior had brought enormous benefits and wealth to the country’s game players. If people still wanted to criticize him despite this, it only spoke to their character and perspective.
After the national rewards were distributed, it was time for the individual rankings of the Continental Selection Tournament. In front of Long Chen, a high-tech virtual screen reappeared, labeled "Individual Rankings."
[1st Place: Yijian Tingfeng (China)]
[2nd Place: Hell Ghost Eye (Sakura Kingdom)] ƒгeewёbnovel.com
[3rd Place: Danran (China)]
[4th Place: Chief Sattar (Saudi Arabia)]
[5th Place: War God Temujin (Mongolian Empire)]
...
The Most Valuable Lord (MVP) of this event: Yijian Tingfeng
[Number of cities captured: 20]
[Number of enemies killed: 50,000+]
[Number of enemy generals killed: 50+]
[Titles received: Hero of the Era, Ingenious Strategist, Leading from the Front, Enemy of Ten Thousand...]
...
A series of dazzling titles, either glittering with gold or noble purple light, covered the live broadcast screen. This stirred up billions of viewers, who exclaimed in excitement and fear.
"So terrifying! Truly terrifying!!"
"Tsk! It’s just that. If not for the powerful generals and strategists under him, I could have done the same!"
"Yeah! Isn’t Long Chen just a freeloader?! He only knows how to win without effort. If it weren’t for Zhao Yun and Lu Bu, could he have survived until now?!"
Once someone sparked, it was followed not only by praise and admiration but also by criticism and ridicule...
However, Long Chen treated these voices as if watching monkeys perform in a show. He didn’t bother to argue with them unless someone crossed his bottom line...
But in the end, there were more good people in the world than bad, and more clear-sighted people than blind ones.
"Oh my god, those who criticize Dragon Team are just sour lemons! Besides being sour, do they know anything else?! They’re really embarrassing us Chinese people."
"Yeah! Even if players from other national teams didn’t win championships or MVPs, they were still respected. In contrast, these haters, I really can’t be bothered with them!"
"Besides being keyboard warriors online, they have achieved nothing in real life!"
...
Winning the MVP naturally brought extremely generous rewards. However, these rewards were kept confidential and were not publicly announced by the system; only Long Chen could see them.
Just one glance, and Long Chen’s eyes widened in surprise.
One continent had only one MVP, and there weren’t many continents globally. This showed just how rich and rare these rewards could be.
At the same time,
A familiar metallic voice entered Long Chen’s mind.
"Ding! Congratulations on winning the MVP of the Asia server. You have successfully obtained the following rewards..."
"Ding! Obtained [Awakening Crystal *3]"
[Awakening Crystal]: A mysterious crystal that helps generals and strategists awaken. It is said that this crystal gathers the most refined spiritual energy between heaven and earth, capable of changing the world and exchanging days and months...
Awakening means a general surpasses their limits to reach an awakened state. After awakening, they gain terrifying power.
Long Chen deeply understood this point. Previously, he had confronted Dong Zhuo after he awakened in the Imperial Palace of Chang’an.
Even with the demonic god Lu Bu, they could only compete with him after several powerful generals joined forces to defeat him.
Back then, Dong Zhuo was like an extremely evil and chaotic beast, terrifying to the extreme.
If the demonic god Lu Bu awakened, would he possess the terrifying power of incarnating as a Qiongqi?!
Long Chen couldn’t help but start to imagine.
It was known that Qiongqi was one of the Four Evils, absolutely stronger than Chaos and not weaker.
Moreover, Lu Bu had now reached level 99, only one level away from reaching level 100 full level, when he would have the conditions to begin awakening.
So, this [Awakening Crystal] might play a significant role when the time came!
