Chapter 189: Division Ranking
After easily ending the battle, Luo Ji became even more at ease.
After quickly confirming the troop distribution of each tribe, he opened the system interface and clicked into the ‘Rankings’ section, intending to check Wang Luzong’s rank.
Although ranking positions were not absolute, they could at least serve as a reference.
It turned out that as an unranked novice, he seemingly did not have permission to access the Bronze Division rankings, only being able to view the list he was currently on…
Luo Ji, looking depressed, simply took the opportunity to search for himself.
Since leaving the novice protection period, he had been winning battle after battle, so his rank should have risen quickly.
On a side note, the maximum points for this division ranking were one hundred.
Winning battles would accumulate points, and conversely, losing would deduct them.
There were generally two ways to advance divisions…
The first was to accumulate one hundred division points.
Players who reached this standard would automatically advance to the Bronze Division and have their points cleared.
The second was for one’s civilization to grow into a ‘Bronze Civilization.’
Once this standard was met, based on the neutral zone’s time, you could only remain in the unranked division for a maximum of one more month.
After one month, no matter how many points you had at that time, the system would forcibly pull you into the Bronze Division.
To put it plainly, don’t even think about staying in the low division.
Currently, the top ten players on the unranked division leaderboard had all accumulated over 95 points.
Generally, they would only need one more win to advance, but this group had tacitly avoided playing that match.
Other players in the unranked division weren’t so blind as to challenge these top-ranked veterans.
So they were all desperately accumulating strength during that one-month buffer period, to avoid being relentlessly bombarded by those experienced players in the same division the moment they advanced to the Bronze Division.
After searching for a while, Luo Ji finally found his name at ranked 137.
The higher up the rankings, the closer the point differences between players became.
Currently, winning one match could typically boost one’s rank by several positions.
He estimated that after winning two or three more matches, he could break into the top hundred.
By then, when players ranked too low saw his name on the invasion list, they should at least weigh their own strength, right?
So, being higher ranked still offered a bit of an advantage.
Meanwhile, a message suddenly popped up in Liu Ye’s previously quiet group chat…
[Wang Luzong (Group Member): That Luo Ji’s strength is not simple. The unranked player I found had his name greyed out shortly after the battle began.]
In this game, when a player dies, their name appears greyed out.
Thus, in this player community, the phrase ‘name greyed out’ is synonymous with ‘he’s dead.’
As soon as this message was sent, Liu Ye, who had been paying attention to the group chat’s messages, immediately replied…
[Liu Ye (Group Leader): Do you know the specifics of what happened?]
[Wang Luzong (Group Member): Not sure. That guy kicked the bucket before even making it to the seventh day. Brother Ye, the system isn’t that easily fooled. Plus, that Luo Ji seems to have some real skill.
[Wang Luzong (Group Member): In the same division, when fighting invasion battles, he probably doesn’t even need to call for support. It won’t be that easy for us to invade through a support battle. How about we wait until that kid advances to the Bronze Division first?]
Liu Ye’s brows furrowed upon seeing this message, but he also knew that Wang Luzong’s words made sense.
If high-ranked players could easily invade lower-ranked players’ worlds under the guise of a support battle, then life would be too difficult for lower-ranked players.
However, letting the other party off just like that also left a bad taste in his mouth.
Thinking of this, he simply sent another message…
[Liu Ye (Group Leader): Let’s put Luo Ji aside for now.
Isn’t there also Ye Qingxuan? That Ye Qingxuan seems to be a newcomer who just finished her novice protection period. Let’s find a breakthrough point there. As soon as Luo Ji accepts Ye Qingxuan’s call for aid, you’ll be able to enter as reinforcements for the invading side. Remember to bring sufficient forces and don’t be careless.]
[Wang Luzong (Group Member): Understood.]
As if sensing the other party’s persistence from Liu Ye’s message, Wang Luzong said nothing more.
After all, there were plenty of people who valued money over their lives these days.
With 100,000 Civilization Points, there were plenty of unranked players willing to take on the job.
Moreover, as long as it was made clear that two-tenths of the deposit would be paid first, and the rest upon completion, even if those unranked players died without accomplishing the task, it would incur little loss for him.
And if it succeeded, he could then earn a valuable Silver-tier Unit Specialization Skill Book.
No matter how he looked at it, this deal wasn’t a loss.
At this very moment, Luo Ji and Ye Qingxuan were clearly unaware of what was happening here, but they were already mentally prepared for the fact that the other party would not easily let them off!
Before Ye Qingxuan’s Truce Token effect ended, after quickly confirming the tactical arrangements and the entire plan they had discussed, Ye Qingxuan decisively welcomed a new round of invasion battles.
This time, Luo Ji’s mood remained relatively calm.
As the saying goes, all beginnings are hard.
Ye Qingxuan had already endured her first battle, and facing the second round of invasion, she had made significant progress in both experience and equipment.
Especially equipment!
The spoils of war seized from Yan Sheng earlier were all bronze weapons, and there were also Cao Peng’s bows and arrows.
If utilized well, combined with the home ground advantage of mountain and forest terrain and proper tactical arrangements, Ye Qingxuan might unexpectedly rise to become a dark horse among this batch of new players!
As for Luo Ji, he was, of course, taking advantage of the time difference to race against time and continue developing!
Continuing to enhance his military power!
Quickly flipping through the list in his hand, military resources such as leather armor, round leather shields, large shields, stone projectiles, halberds, spears, battle axes, and warhorses were still quite abundant.
Aside from regular training, he couldn’t think of any other ways to quickly enhance the combat power of his cavalry and infantry units in a short time.
Thus, Luo Ji decisively shifted his focus to the archer unit.
There was still room for improvement in the archer unit, and that was the arrowheads!
Many factors affected the power of an arrow, and the arrowhead clearly constituted a very important part.
Previously, due to limited conditions and technology, the arrows used by the archer unit were basically sharpened wooden sticks, quite crude.
However, ever since discovering copper ore, Luo Ji had put the plan to enhance the archer unit’s weapons and equipment on the agenda.
At the same time, he also had the hunting teams from his various tribes collect various bird feathers.
Just a while ago, the Armament Department finally discovered feathers suitable for use on arrows.
Riding this momentum, Luo Ji now intended to forge metal arrowheads as well!
