Global Lords: I Have Information System-Chapter 250 - 237: The Reincarnator’s Doubts and Zong’s Level 8 Territory (Today’s 12,000)

Chapter 250: Chapter 237: The Reincarnator’s Doubts and Zong’s Level 8 Territory (Today’s 12,000)

"It’s impossible!"

"In the previous era, none of the top one hundred Lords had this person."

"How could he suddenly jump to first place now?"

"Could history have been rewritten?"

Chen Rui regained his calm, though his face still bore a confused expression.

From the first day of his arrival, he had arranged all development tracks and plans.

Everything indeed progressed as he planned; he was unlike a newly arrived Lord, more like a time-tested Indigenous Person.

Thus, his speed of development was swift; he rapidly accumulated affinity among the Indigenous People and was the first to explore several ruins in the region, acquiring substantial military capital. Leveraging his warriors, he eradicated a band of bandits who thrived by smuggling population to Slave Merchants, acquiring a couple hundred farmers instantly to lay the foundation for development.

Among them, there were two individuals with Heroic Level talent, with each step of detailed foresight allowing him to reach today’s speed of progress, keeping everything within his grasp previously.

What worried him was not someone reaching a Level 5 Territory but the emergence of a variable, a variable he had never seen, where the butterfly’s wings might lightly flutter, perhaps giving rise to a storm a thousand miles away.

Yes, he is a Reincarnator, having died ten years post Lord’s arrival.

After Descenders controlled most of the continent’s population and resources, the true disaster and challenge formally began.

The entire heavens opened up as some sort of channel...

He finally understood the meaning of the term Earth and why the native forces of the previous era would dimly exit; everything was to stage a terrifying conflict!

Originally, he belonged to a mid-tier Lord, clinging to the thigh of a Legion Commander in the region, with his territory developing to the Bang State Level.

But amidst the great disaster, not able to withstand a few days, he met a tragic end.

Yet, heaven did not abandon him, and Chen Rui was reborn a day before the arrival.

He tried to spread the news early, urging attention, but it proved futile.

The arrival was sudden; aside from minor items like watches, ornaments, and rings, nothing else could be brought into this world.

However, Chen Rui’s biggest advantage lay post-arrival.

He nearly knew all of the region’s ruins, understanding the methods of acquiring many treasures.

Furthermore, he knew how to gain Indigenous People’s trust in the early stages and acquire more population.

Though unsure of the situations in other regions, he was very aware of various major events and changes in Indigenous Forces, Heretic Influence, and Alien Race strongholds on the continent within ten years.

This provided a massive advantage for his development; those able to rise were none other than the regional Overlords, yet in this era, he would be the Overlord of this area!

Originally, everything developed trajectory in-line with his expectations; now, the variable finally appeared.

"I wonder what divine nature this Zong Shen is."

"In the previous era, none of the Grand Army Chiefs in all regions had his name."

"None of the Lords of Giant City Level and Imperial City Level had his name either."

...

"The variable has appeared; I must quickly grasp all resources in the region."

"Especially that ancient altar... I must seize it as soon as possible."

Chen Rui did not fail to live the tale of two lifetimes, quickly adjusted his mindset.

Zong Shen’s rise and the emergence of a variable he was powerless to change; he could only accelerate development and swiftly seize all ruin resources in the region to gain the upper hand.

When the great disaster erupts, he then might have the chance to change his fate.

He did not give up trying to inform other Lords of the great disaster.

Yet, no matter the method, he could not speak it out, for spoken words would be silenced, and notes and codes left behind would be erased.

Using any method proved impossible, as if the law of this world prohibited him from speaking out.

So, he couldn’t implement large-scale plans, resorting simply to develop himself as best as possible.

Chen Rui’s expression returned to normal, yet his eyes grew a depth deeper.

He lifted the Long Spear in his hand, thrusting it forward once again, aiming at the gap between a Corroded Beetle’s head and body, as this was its weak point. Being a Reincarnator, he naturally knew some monster’s weaknesses.

The battle continued; Chen Rui showed no excessive reaction, seemingly accepting this reality.

...

Meanwhile, within Zong Shen’s territory, Level 5 Territory was already a thing of the past.

This news fell behind in just over an hour.

Because during the time it took for the news to spread, Zong Shen had already furiously upgraded three more levels.

Now his territory had reached Level 8, standing prominently above others at the top, forming a stark contrast with Chen Rui’s second-ranked Level 4 Territory.

After advancing to Level 8 Territory, Zong Shen decisively halted expansion.

He still placed high importance on the Guide Module’s advice; the Guide Module advised against exceeding Level 8, nor did he intend to take risks. Now the Level 8 Territory was enough to meet his expected goals, as the empty space outside the Lord’s Courtyard was piled high with various wild beast carcasses like small hills.

There were over a hundred assorted wild beast corpses attracted by expansion missions.

If handled properly, these would be enough to feed the territory for quite a while.

As for the humanoid monster corpses, Zong Shen ordered the Wolf Cavalry to bury them several kilometers away.

He didn’t want his territory to become a graveyard; upon raising the Territory Level, [Private Chat] became an explosion, even the [Relatives and Friends Channel] kept flashing non-stop.

As long as a territory reached Level 1, [Ranking] would be opened, allowing Lord’s with sufficient luck to quickly upgrade to Level 1 Territory.

When news of Zong Shen reaching the top emerged, many opened the [Ranking] for verification, causing the news to take flight immediately.

In this world, due to regional isolation, it was difficult for Lords to have common topics, yet Zong Shen’s ascendance was clearly a topic that excited the masses.

Zong Shen glanced through each channel; on both the [World Channel] and [Regional Channel], his name, "Zong Shen," fast scrolled past in comment subtitles.

This stir was much bigger than when Chen Rui reached Level 3 Territory, mostly because at that time most Lords hadn’t upgraded yet to open rankings. This time’s mass foundation was much larger, and the spread naturally dwarfed the previous.

Zong Shen’s [Private Chat] was naturally bursting, with many messaging through sales info in the [Market].

Including Jiang Yi, who sent several messages expressing her amazement and admiration, to which Zong Shen briefly replied before closing other [Channels].

He only left the [Relatives and Friends Channel], carefully replying to Ah Ze’s messages.

Opening the [Relatives and Friends Channel], five or six messages popped out at once.

These messages were sent at different times.

Perfectly illustrating Zong Ze’s psychological changes.

"Awesome, bro! Level 5 Territory!"

... one hour ago

"Damn, already Level 6!"

... forty minutes ago

"Damn, damn! Level 7!"

"Bro, you’re truly remarkable!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

... three minutes ago

"Level 8! Just a short while to Level 8 Territory!"

"Got room for hanging ornaments on your legs?"

"I’m only at Level 3 Territory now; Burrow Challenge is getting tougher, making me hesitant to expand!"

Glancing at Ah Ze’s words, Zong Shen could almost imagine his expression.

This younger brother was no slouch, since he earlier noticed Ah Ze was at Level 3 Territory, ranking in the top hundred, indicating he upgraded early with remaining strength now.

Zong Shen’s replies were simple, not focusing much on Territory Levels.

"Need resources? I’d send you some!"
