The battle was over.
No more large groups of monsters surged from the black mist.
But occasionally, one or two scattered monsters appeared, possibly lost or for unknown reasons.
Lin Feng wasn't clear on the situation inside the mist; this knowledge was rarely taught.
From age 16 to 18, schools taught students to identify monsters and survive the rookie phase to become official Floating Island Lords.
Details learned only after becoming an official lord were rarely taught, understandably.
With a 99%+ elimination rate, out of 100, at least 99 would be eliminated. Such high attrition meant most couldn't become official Lords; teaching them more was pointless.
Most, after the one-month Floating Island trial, chose to work in Floating Island World or become mercenaries to earn a decent income.
If worried about losing their lives, they stayed on Earth Star doing related jobs, such as working in biotech firms benefiting from Floating Island resources.
Some biotech companies researching longevity offered good salaries.
As people experienced extended lifespans, the desire for true immortality grew.
Many were willing to spend for longevity.
Outside the thorn forest, monster corpses piled like mountains.
These corpses only dissipated after moonlight exposure at night.
Lin Feng ignored them.
"Master, go rest. We'll guard here."
Chen Xi said seeing Lin Feng remain.
Lin Feng shook his head. "No, you all rest. I'll guard. I can handle scattered monsters."
With the thorn forest, Lin Feng could handle scattered monsters easily.
The Female demons and Elemental Spirits had significant energy consumption from the battle; Lin Feng barely exerted himself.
He wanted them to rest.
They agreed but Lin Feng insisted.
Chen Xi reluctantly rested but turned to mist nearby, recovering and staying alert.
Yun Yan shone in the battle and clearly wanted Lin Feng's praise.
Lin Feng obliged.
"Hehe, Master, Yun Yan will be stronger!"
Yun Yan walked with a sway.
After everyone rested, Lin Feng opened the watch and examined new features as an official Lord.
The forums changed: a newbie forum remained, but a new forum only for official Lords appeared.
Some large chatrooms were also exclusive to official Lords.
The trading area changed drastically; official Lords sold all sorts of items.
Lin Feng saw items mostly obtained by killing monsters.
"Selling Night Demon Horn, effective against Mist Demons ~"
"S -tier Spider Silk, can't be cut by steel swords, fireproof, perfect for protective clothing."
"Come see! I have a Silkworm Cutter!"
Lin Feng randomly clicked an item and saw sky-high prices.
Some items were trade-only, wanting specific exchanges.
"So, in High-tier Floating Islands, monster drops are treasures used against other monsters."
Lin Feng thought.
The higher the level, the stronger the monsters, some said almost invulnerable to weapons.
Not truly invulnerable, but requiring high-level weapons and skill.
Like today's giant monster.
Even with hot weapons and heavy machine guns, it might take a long time to kill one.
Except for Lin Feng, only major clans with many Supernatural Power Users could handle such waves; anyone else would perish.
Even sending people to die might not be enough, as there were thousands of ordinary monsters too.
Unless someone hired 10,000 experienced mercenaries, three per monster, to siege the giant monster—then it could be defended.
10,000 mercenaries would cost at least 500 million!
Such wealthy people existed but not yearly, as not every clan had 18-year-old heirs every year.
In short, the giant monster in the newbie area was a dimensional crushing threat.
Lin Feng guessed it might have been drawn by the life tree.
The other crops on Lin Feng's island were basically worthless, just for earning money.
The priceless treasures were the life tree and mist forest.
That life tree could sell for tens or hundreds of billions; many would pay much more.
But Lin Feng would never sell it!
It was priceless!
After checking official Lord forums and understanding their world, Lin Feng looked at newbie forums again.
"Ahhh, I got eliminated, so damn unlucky ~"
"I got eliminated too, so many monsters came at once, scared me to death!"
"Damn, my luck is awful, over a thousand monsters came, I hired over a hundred people and still lost!"
"Don't cry, today we are all the eliminated ones!"
"Damn! The one-month Floating Island trial officially ended ~"
On newbie forums, many eliminated Lords posted messages.
Countless, overwhelming.
Lin Feng faced a large wave, fighting for half an hour.
Most others were eliminated within minutes.
Some hid in forts or tree holes and lasted longer—tens of minutes or more.
Some knew hiding was futile but still tried.
Some stubbornly hid for days after their island was devoured.
Until monsters that dig or use mental attacks found them.
All sorts of Lords existed.
But most were eliminated by the time Lin Feng finished fighting.
The newbie forum already showed elimination data.
Within forty minutes, over 95% were eliminated.
The number kept rising in the next minutes.
After an hour, the elimination rate officially exceeded 99%!
In one hour, 99% were eliminated!
The survivors were less than 1%.
Although with a large total, that 1% still numbered hundreds of thousands!
But the percentage was terrifying.
Millions eliminated within an hour!
