Chapter 205: Midsummer
[(Public Channel) Wang Gang (Player): Oh my goodness, I’ve never seen anyone’s ranking points soar so fast! Did this Luo Ji guy use cheats? Last time I saw him, he was outside the top 100, but now he’s actually in 12th place? Looks like he’ll break into the top 10 with one more win!]
[(Public Channel) Li Yi (Player): The guy above should be careful. The big shot might be watching. Friendly reminder, all players invaded by this big shot have their names grayed out.]
[(Public Channel) Wang Gang (Player): Gah! Really? That ruthless?]
[(Public Channel) Liu Feifei (Player): It’s true, whoever he fights dies, he’s incredibly ruthless. I pray every day that this big shot quickly advances to the Bronze tier. Staying in the same tier as him, I can’t even sleep peacefully.]
[(Public Channel) Gao Mu (Player): The idiot upstairs, confirmed. Haven’t you figured it out yet after all this time? This big shot’s invasions have a pattern.]
[(Public Channel) Wang Gang (Player): What pattern? Tell me the truth!]
[(Public Channel) Li Yi (Player): Tell me the truth +1)
[(Public Channel) Gao Mu (Player): In the same tier, there’s a player named Ye Qingxuan. Whoever touches Ye Qingxuan, he kills. Understand?]
[(Public Channel) Liu Feifei (Player): Ye Qingxuan? Her name seems to be female?]
[(Public Channel) Li Yi (Player): Instantly understood! The idiot upstairs, confirmed. They’re a husband-and-wife team, and it’s a male and female combined attack!]
[(Public Channel) Gao Mu (Player): However, we can relax a bit now. If that big shot continues to fight, his points will reach 100, and he’ll advance to the Bronze tier. Now, he’ll either develop peacefully and gather strength, or directly ascend to Bronze. Either way, we can soon say goodbye to this big shot.]
There are no impenetrable walls in this world.
As the number of battles increased, some intelligence information inevitably leaked out.
Luo Ji remained quite calm about this, or rather, he saw it as a good thing.
Because of this, fewer players would dare to invade them.
In this tier, if Liu Ye wanted to deal with him, he had to use unranked players to complete a support battle.
However, once the idea that challenging Luo Ji and Ye Qingxuan equated to certain death was established among unranked players, very few truly dared to risk their lives.
Indeed, that was the case.
At this time, Luo Ji had already become an existence like a great demon king among unranked players.
Basically, very few players dared to invade him anymore.
His notoriety was truly widespread.
In this state, Luo Ji naturally didn’t idle either.
He was almost constantly farming and developing.
Although he basically wouldn’t bother checking the public channel where idle people spammed the screen, it must be said that they were right about one thing, if he continued to fight, his points would indeed reach 100, and he would advance to the Bronze tier.
One must know, a bunch of big shots were waiting to deal with him in the Bronze tier.
He had no intention of just rushing up and getting beaten in one go.
Since Ye Qingxuan had also grown strong and basically didn’t need him to worry anymore, he decisively calmed down and accumulated strength.
“Gulp, gulp, gulp…”
Luo Ji drained the water in his cup and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The time in his world had already entered midsummer, but honestly, he surprisingly didn’t feel particularly hot.
Regarding whether ancient summers were hot or not, opinions varied.
Some said ancient summers were hotter than modern ones, while others said they weren’t as hot.
Now, the facts proved it wasn’t that hot.
For Luo Ji, who had worked outdoors earning money under a 40-degree high-temperature sun during the summer before becoming a player, what was this temperature now?
Was it even 35 degrees?
Luo Ji’s current feeling reminded him of a foreign news report he had once seen, ‘A certain city in a certain country surprisingly experienced a 33-degree high temperature, causing a certain number of people to faint on the street.’
In response, Luo Ji just wanted to express disdainfully.
“Us, the Celestial Dynasty! High temperatures start at 40 degrees, understand?”
He swiftly finished reviewing the report file in his hand.
Perhaps his previous preventative measures had been effective, and his civilization had not experienced any terrifying plague or influenza outbreaks so far.
There were quite a few people collapsing from heatstroke, but the Medical Department had already researched a remedy for heatstroke symptoms, and the condition was promptly brought under control.
At the same time, to reduce the chance of heatstroke and to improve work efficiency, Luo Ji also specifically issued a decree for ‘summer midday breaks.’
To put it plainly, during the hottest midday sun, most workers would receive a two-hour midday break, with the time determined by the ‘sundial’ that was recently made.
For a small number of special positions, a special summer shift system was arranged for them.
Through multiple shifts, their daily working hours were reduced for each person.
Luo Ji’s new decree undoubtedly garnered a burst of cheers from his tribal people.
It could simply be said that it was the will of the people, and it easily gained him a large wave of loyalty.
“Bai Xu, what’s the work arrangement for tomorrow?”
“Reporting Sir, tomorrow’s work arrangement is to interview the newly joined population. There are 136 people.”
After fully adapting to the workload of the Mirror Tribe, Bai Xu now carried a bit of Sun Li’s former demeanor.
“Interviewing new people? I understand.”
Luo Ji nodded, then glanced at the sweating Bai Xu.
In adapting to the scorching summer heat, he unexpectedly far surpassed most people of this era.
“I see you’re tired too. Let’s stop here for today.”
“Many thanks for your consideration, Sir. I will take my leave now.”
After Bai Xu withdrew, Luo Ji glanced at the sky outside the window.
There was still some time before dinner, which was just enough for him to process the last two work reports on his desk.
Both reports were battle reports.
Although Luo Ji’s external wars had temporarily concluded, his forces in his own world had been constantly campaigning.
There were three objectives…
The first objective was to continue increasing manpower for his seven tribes and improve development efficiency.
The second objective was to accumulate practical combat experience for the newly trained recruits.
The third objective was to search for various resources.
There were two battle reports, one sent by the brothers Guo Jia and Guo Zhen, and the other from Sun Li.
The report from Guo Jia and his brother was a victory report, indicating that they had led troops to capture another tribe with a population of 87 people.
Sun Li, on the other hand, had encountered some trouble…
Carefully reading the report sent by Sun Li, Luo Ji’s brows couldn’t help but furrow slightly.
“Are these… horse bandits?”
