Global Lord: 100\% Drop Rate Chapter 3

Previously on Global Lord: 100\% Drop Rate...

Zhou Zhou, now aware of his Legendary-Tier Lord Talent, revels in the ability to see loot drop rates. After defeating a Desert Fog Lizard with his subjects, they manage to retrieve an impressive array of items, including a rare Sword Shield Soldier Class Change Certificate. Recognizing its potential, he chooses to use it for his subjects instead of himself, bestowing it upon Zhang Cang, who eagerly transforms into a Sword Shield Soldier. This strengthens Zhou Zhou's position as Zhang Cang expresses unwavering loyalty following his transformation. The newfound power ignites further aspirations within Zhou Zhou's growing territory.

The World Channel! A Recruitment Book for a Sword Shield Soldier!

A sense of safety washed over Zhou Zhou as he realized he now commanded two professionals.

Still, he knew this was far from being enough!

“Zhang Cang, take the other subjects and join Bai Yi to patrol the perimeter of the territory’s protective barrier. Keep an eye out for any fog monsters. If you spot any, eliminate them and bring their remains to me. Remember, it is safest to strike from within the barrier! If you are absolutely certain you won't be harmed, you may venture outside to slay them, but do not stray too far! Your survival is the priority!” Zhou Zhou commanded.

He viewed these two soldiers as his most precious assets and could not afford to lose them.

“As you command, my Lord!” Zhang Cang replied with a respectful bow before departing to find Bai Yi and the rest.

Suddenly, four consecutive chimes echoed in Zhou Zhou’s ears.

[The Lord’s personal information has been unlocked!]

[Cerulean Planet Lord’s World Channel has been unlocked!]

[Cerulean Planet Lord’s Marketplace has been unlocked!]

[Friend List has been unlocked!]

Startled, Zhou Zhou immediately accessed his personal profile.

[Lord Title: None]

[Strength Level: Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade]

[Territory Name: Unnamed]

[Territory Level: Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade]

[Territory Area: 400m x 400m x 400m]

[Lord Talent: 100% Drop Rate (Legendary-Tier)]

[Territory Building: The Lord’s Wooden House (Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade), Gate of Summoning (Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade)]

[Race Talent: None]

[Equipment: None]

[Skill: None]

[Mist Core: Two]

[Origin Crystal: Zero]

After a brief moment of thought, Zhou Zhou named his domain Blazing Sun City and adopted the title Lord of The Blazing Sun. Since he was standing in the middle of the Blazing Sun Desert, he didn't feel like wasting effort on a different name.

Next, he explored the Marketplace and his Friend List.

The Cerulean Planet Lord’s Marketplace served as a hub for Lords to exchange items. However, because it had just launched, the listings were sparse, consisting mostly of raw materials like wood, stone, and metal.

His friend list was currently a void.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhou turned his attention to the Cerulean Planet Lord World Channel.

A text prompt flickered, and a virtual interface with the Cerulean Planet as its backdrop appeared before him.

A flood of messages from other Lords was scrolling rapidly through the feed.

[Brothers and sisters, is this real? Have we actually transmigrated?]

[It’s definitely real. Not a dream at all. I tried slapping one of the subjects I summoned, and the idiot slapped me right back. My face is still stinging...]

[The loyalty of the initial subjects is usually just above the passing threshold. You really shouldn't do things that make it drop further.]

[Haha, what kind of Lord Talent did you guys get? I pulled a Diamond-Tier Lord Talent — Knight Hall. My territory has a unique building. By paying a fee, I can send subjects inside to become Combat Spirit Knights—a special profession that wields combat spirit!]

[Holy crap! A Diamond-Tier Lord Talent!? I’m stuck with a Black Iron-Tier Talent called ‘Subject Recruitment Order.’ It only lets me pull three extra subjects from the Gate of Summoning each day.]

[I’m doing okay. I have a Green Bronze-Tier Lord Talent — Ghost Master Station. Ghost Master Professionals occasionally pass through my land, and there’s a chance I can recruit them!]

[I’ve got a Yellow Gold-Tier Lord Talent — Falcon Corps! My territory has its own Falcon Barracks, allowing me to recruit a specialized army using Cerulean Planet technology!]

[The massive gap between the different tiers of Lord Talents is way too obvious.]

[Ugh, I’m so jealous. I didn't even get a Lord talent.]

[Why didn't I awaken a Talent like everyone else? This is totally unfair!]

[The lifespan of a locust is truly short!]

[Has anyone actually gone out to fight the Scarlet Fog monsters yet? I ordered my subjects to kill an Iron-Fang Fog Hound from behind the safety of the barrier. It only dropped one piece of meat and two Mist Cores.]

[There are monsters near you too?]

[I’ve got them here as well, at least seven or eight of them!]

[Wait, they drop meat and blood??? Why did mine only give me two Mist Cores?]

…

Zhou Zhou observed the chat for a while, lost in thought.

Based on the chatter, high-tier Lord Talents appeared to be exceptionally rare. Roughly 80% of the population possessed Black Iron, Green Bronze, or White Silver-Tier Talents. The remaining 20% held Yellow Gold-Tier or higher.

So far, he hadn't seen anyone mention a Legendary-Tier Lord Talent like his own.

[The monsters outside are terrifyingly strong. Killing just one through the barrier is a struggle. This is only day one—how insane is the Novice Lord Test in seven days going to be?]

[Stop, you’re making me panic.]

[Slaying monsters is the only way to level up yourself and your subjects. If we want to survive that seven-day test, this is the path we have to take.]

[Hiding behind the barrier to kill them is just too slow.]

[Who has the guts to go out without enough subjects, though?]

[If I leave, I’ll get slaughtered. If I stay, I won't grow fast enough. It’s a total lose-lose situation.]

Zhou Zhou’s expression grew serious as he read.

The other Lords were right. If the first-day monsters were this formidable, the threat in seven days would be overwhelming. To ensure his survival, he had to maximize his strength during this grace period!

Just then, the echoes of a struggle drifted from nearby.

Two warm surges of Promotion Energy manifested within him, providing a refreshing sensation.

A short time later, Bai Yi and Zhang Cang returned with the other subjects, excitedly hauling the carcasses of two Desert Fog Lizards. They dropped the bodies at Zhou Zhou’s feet.

“Reporting in, my Lord!”

“We found these two Desert Fog Lizards and neutralized them from behind the protective barrier.”

After speaking, Bai Yi and the others looked at Zhou Zhou with expectant eyes.

Seeing their expressions, Zhou Zhou’s lips twitched slightly.

He examined the remains. One was another Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade Desert Fog Lizard, carrying the exact same loot as the previous one.

The second carcass, however, was twice the size of the first and promised much better rewards.

[Item Name: Desert Fog Lizard’s Corpse]

[Item Level: Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade]

[Item Effect: Contains unextracted loots.]

[Item Description: A Fog Monster slain by the warriors of Blazing Sun City.]

[Prompt: This corpse will dissolve into fog and be reborn in two hours.]

[Loot drop rate: four units of Black Iron-Tier Mist Core (Drop Rate: 100%), one to 40 units of Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade Desert Fog Lizard meat (Drop Rate: 20% to 0.5%), a 3kg water bag (Drop Rate: 3%), one gradeless Sword Shield Soldier Class Change Certificate (Drop Rate: 0.1%), one Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade Sword Shield Soldier Recruitment Book (Drop Rate: 0.1%)]
