Spellcasting is a permanent addition and my skills are all forbidden spells.

At this time, everyone in Settlement No. 1024 was very excited.

After a long night of hard work.

The settlement area has reached 499,999 square meters.

The 500,000 square meters away from activating the protective shield is just the last bit!

Many people looked nervously at Wei Meng, who was in the top three on the battle merit list.

The last piece of the Frontier Order is in his hands!

"use!"

Wei Meng took a few deep breaths, aimed at a zombie area, and used the Border Order.

Light green energy surged out from the token, covering the ground, with many black impurities flying and dissipating in the air like snowflakes.

[Ding, the surrounding one square meter has been successfully converted into a safe zone and included in the settlement. You will gain +30 experience points. 】

A system prompt sounded in Wei Meng's mind.

The next moment was a settlement-wide announcement.

[Notice: All activation conditions have been met, and the protective shield function will be activated immediately! 】

Following this announcement, the light green light film covering the settlement suddenly changed.

Then, it suddenly became solid and the color became much darker, as if it was made of metal!

On the protective cover, attributes are displayed.

[Level 1 Settlement Protective Cover: Durability 100,000. Attacks by monsters of level 15 and below will not lose any durability. 】

In an instant, loud cheers erupted in the settlement!

"Success!"

"We activated the shield!"

"Boss Lu Cheng, are you here? We have accomplished what you told us!"

"Now, even if the monster wave comes again, we don't have to be afraid!"

"We did it and finally gained a foothold!"

Seeing the protective shield covering the settlement, everyone was excited and excited.

But at this moment, a system announcement suddenly sounded.

[Notice: Settlement No. 93 has launched a duel of natural selection against the settlement where you are located. The direction of the duel is: level! 】

Following this somewhat urgent announcement.

The situation outside the settlement suddenly changed. Above the hub of the settlement, a golden sword condensed with cold light, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the bronze tree!

"what's the situation?"

"Natural selection...what does it mean??"

"Above the Bronze Tree...why is there an extra golden sword? Was there one before?"

This sudden scene left many people stunned.

At this time, the system announcement sounded again.

[The Sword of Natural Selection has been condensed. The first person to equip the Sword of Natural Selection will win this duel! 】

[Winner, all attributes of the whole settlement will be increased by 10 points, loser, all attributes of the whole settlement will be deducted by 10 points! 】

"What??"

This system prompt fell, and everyone's expressions changed.

Ten points of all attributes!

The previous victory in the settlement guard battle, plus Lu Cheng's destruction of the seal stone, only added a total of three points of all attributes!

Three points of total attributes, that is, fifteen points of total attributes, improved their combat power a lot.

But even so, there are still many people whose total attributes have not reached fifty points!

If ten points of all attributes are deducted, some attributes may be deducted!

"If the attribute deduction reaches a negative number... what will happen?"

Many people looked pale.

There are also those who react quickly and rush to the settlement hub as soon as possible!

Equipped with the Heavenly Chosen Sword, you can win the duel!

Li Tianyu moved the fastest and was the first to rush to the bronze tree. He quickly reached out and grabbed the Sword of Heaven's Selection.

But the next moment, he retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted, and his palm was burnt black.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts sank.

"This sword... has level requirements, I can't take it!"

Li Tianyu endured the severe pain and forced himself to speak.

With his touch, the properties of the Sword of Natural Selection were also revealed.

…

[Sword of Natural Selection (special prop, disappears after the duel of natural selection)]

[Equipment requirements: Level reaches level 12. 】

…

"Level 12??"

Looking at the attributes of the Sword of Natural Selection, people took a breath!

This sword actually requires level 12 to equip!

Suddenly, everyone was anxious.

They had been busy exchanging border orders and activating protective shields all night, but they hadn't upgraded much!

Compared with the level, they suffered too much!

But soon, someone reacted:

"Don't be afraid! Boss Lu Cheng is still here!"

"That's right! With Lu Shen at the back, we can win!"

"If Boss Lu Cheng takes action, he will definitely be equipped with this Sword of Natural Selection!"

"Hurry and invite Mr. Lu Cheng!"

For a time, morale in the settlement chat was boosted.

In the previous wave of monsters, it was Lu Cheng who appeared and killed the BOSS by himself, and then the settlement was defended!

This made everyone have unlimited confidence in Lu Cheng.

Moreover, no one has forgotten that the world announcement a few hours ago was the news that Lu Cheng had successfully changed his job!

At this time, the system prompt sounded again.

[Announcement: During the Natural Selection Showdown, the level ranking list is open! 】

The system sound fell, and the two-sided ranking list appeared.

[Settlement No. 93, belonging to the Japanese country]

…

[First place: Fujiyama Jiro, professional recovery warlock, level 9, 54% experience. 】

[Second place: Hattori Takuto, professional onmyoji, level 6, 82% experience. 】

[Third place: Kota Moritani, professional ronin, level 6, 74% experience. 】

[Fourth place: Suiryu Yutaro, professional samurai, level 6, 65% experience. 】

[Fifth place: Nao Okawahara, professional fighter...

…

[Tenth place: Taketo Ikura, professional archer, level 6, 17% experience. 】

…

Looking at the ranking list of Japanese settlements.

Everyone's heart sank.

The top ten levels of Japan are all level six and above!

The first place, Fujiyama Jiro, is leading by a cliff, and he is already at level nine and a half!

"Why is his level so high..."

Some people were confused and looked at their own ranking list.

As a result, after just one glance, his face suddenly turned pale!

"Everyone, something happened...look at your rankings!"

His voice was trembling.

Everyone was shocked and hurried to see their own list.

[Settlement No. 1024, belonging to Daxia]

…

[First place: Li Tianyu, professional warrior, level 6, 21% experience. 】

[Second place: Wei Meng, professional warrior, level 6, 15% experience. 】

[Third place: Li Guanghe, professional Taoist priest, 97% experience at level 5. 】

[Fourth place: Bai Sheng, professional swordsman, 84% experience at level 5. 】

[Fifth place: Liu Xiong, professional mage...

…

[Tenth place: Wang Wei, professional woodcutter, level 5 55% experience. 】

…

"this……"

"how so??"

Looking at their own level list, everyone was stunned.

There are many familiar faces on the level list, and they have not changed much compared to the previous battle merit list.

However, everyone noticed the same thing.

The top spot has changed hands!

"Wait a minute... where is Mr. Lu Cheng??"

"Why is there no boss Lu Cheng on the level list??"

At this moment, everyone in the settlement panicked!

"Is it because Lu Shen's level is not high enough and he didn't make the list?"

"That's not right! There were clearly job transfer notices before! There's no way that Mr. Lu Cheng won't be on the list??"

"But why is he not on the list? Could it be that..."

Lu Cheng's previous record was so dazzling that everyone believed that he must be number one in the ranking.

But there is no name Lu Cheng on this ranking list!

"Could it be said that Mr. Lu Cheng...is dead??"

Some people panicked and speculated, and suddenly, huge panic spread.
