Chapter 327: Domain Rankings
They immediately withdrew from the Hero Tower and returned to the club side.
Some club members who were rushing levels were also startled out, discussing the Hero Tower’s transformation animatedly.
Wu Xian glanced at the changes online; the news had not fully spread yet, and the popularity was still dominated by the video of “Jianmu piercing through the Hero Tower.”
“Master Sister, something huge happened!”
Xue Lingling, who was still studying the scroll painter’s abilities, was pulled out by Wu Xian.
Upon learning the news of the Hero Tower’s transformation, Xue Lingling was also shocked. “After several hundred years, has the Hero Tower finally transformed to Black Axis?”
“Black Axis?” Wu Xian clicked his tongue in amazement.
But the current priority was obviously not this; the two immediately called the Tianfeng Province Alliance side.
Jiang Chenglei was clearly immersed in the joy of the Hero Tower’s transformation.
After all, this was a major event worth celebrating for the entire Spirit Tamer Alliance.
“You two can rest assured; the alliance will not forget your merit. Headquarters will definitely not treat you shabbily.”
“That’s good,” Wu Xian breathed a sigh of relief. “By the way, will that kind of heaven and earth source power be able to continuously produce afterward?”
Jiang Chenglei replied without hesitation, “Naturally. This is also the core value after the Hero Tower’s transformation.”
“How will it be allocated in the future?” Wu Xian couldn’t help but ask curiously. “Anyone included in the Hero Tower’s domains gets a share?”
“Well… the Hero Tower has actually already designed it itself, and it will be announced to all parties later.” Jiang Chenglei smiled. “How to put it? The current Hero Tower has transformed from the previous incremental phase to the screening phase.”
Hearing this, Wu Xian and Xue Lingling looked odd.
Simply put, the Hero Tower had shifted from pursuing quantity to pursuing quality.
A lot of trash data held no value for the Hero Tower anymore.
“Does that mean allocation according to the level and quality of the Domain Scroll Painting?” Xue Lingling pondered.
“More or less that meaning.”
“That’s acceptable,” Xue Lingling thought. “The key is, how is quality judged? All based on the Hero Tower’s own analysis and judgment?”
“The Hero Tower’s analysis and judgment is just the foundation; it will also incorporate some other factors.” Jiang Chenglei smiled. “Oh right, later the Hero Tower will open your Domain Instances to the whole society, but only the experience version of Virtual Instances.”
Wu Xian was stunned. “What’s this for?”
“What does Master Xiao Wu think?” Jiang Chenglei chuckled and asked back.
“Don’t tell me it’s to boost popularity, pull votes, and do some popularity ranking.” Wu Xian looked odd.
Jiang Chenglei nodded with a smile. “Exactly that meaning.”
“…” Wu Xian froze on the spot. “Isn’t this a bit unreasonable?”
At least in his impression, popularity rankings like this were hard to make fair, just, and open.
Moreover, popularity and quality were two different things.
“Rest assured, the Hero Tower has its own ideas; no one has the right to interfere, and it will absolutely strive to be reasonable and fair.”
“Alright then.” Wu Xian sighed helplessly.
Compared to the popularity rankings from his previous life, the Hero Tower side was indeed relatively fairer.
After all, the Hero Tower completely eliminated the possibility of human interference, purely using “artificial intelligence” to tally data, ensuring fairness and justice.
The only uncertain factor was the broad masses of “voters.”
In terms of rallying votes, there would definitely be human factors interfering.
To put it this way, Wu Xian was already contacting Sister Tiao’s “water army” system.
Additionally, the Mechanical Dojo controlled the Virtual Network, and could make big moves in public opinion guidance and data pushes.
Just like certain short video platforms in his previous life, different people saw different videos, and even for the same video, different people saw different comments.
It felt like just this alone, the Virtual Network Company under the Mechanical Dojo could make a killing.
After all, this “cake” provided by the Hero Tower was too enticing; no Scroll Painter force could ignore it.
Even the four great true gods of the present world were nearly drooling with envy.
Soon after, the Spirit Tamer Alliance officially released an announcement, launching the Domain Ranking.
And below it, the ranking rules were listed in detail.
First was the dynamic hidden score given by the Hero Tower Hub, then the popularity votes and rating factors from the broad masses.
The former relied entirely on domain quality and level; no one could interfere, and it would adjust dynamically in real time according to the Hero Tower’s standards.
The latter two factors were more crucial.
First was popularity voting: open to alliance Silver Rank and Gold Rank players; as long as they entered a certain Domain Instance, it counted as voting with their feet.
And after the instance ended, it would also have players give ratings to comprehensively calculate popularity value.
In addition, it would rate-correct based on players’ overall experience in the instance.
For example, if a certain instance was clearly extremely difficult for you, but you gave a “nothing special” rating, the Hero Tower Hub system would correct it based on your performance in the instance.
This to a certain extent avoided “bad review brushing” operations.
After Wu Xian and Xue Lingling studied it, they were fairly satisfied.
“It feels pretty fair,” Xue Lingling acknowledged. “But before popularity and reputation ferment, it’s still inevitable that whoever has more people holds the advantage.”
“No matter, take it slow.”
Wu Xian was very satisfied with this set of standards; fair competition for everyone from now on.
Whoever didn’t play by the rules, don’t blame him for bringing out the tricks from those short video platforms of his previous life.
In addition, the Natal God of Wealth’s aura of wealth operations could subtly produce influence.
Ding!
Wu Xian and Xue Lingling soon received the Hero Tower’s notification.
Based on the previous 【Underworld+Taoshi Mountain】 data contribution and performance, a batch of heaven and earth source power was allocated.
“Yo~, quite a lot given.”
Feeling the heaven and earth source power surging into the 【Underworld】 Domain Scroll Painting, Wu Xian was overjoyed.
As for the four great true gods’ side, the compensation they received was definitely much more.
In this aspect, Wu Xian was convinced.
But in subsequent popularity rankings, the otherworldly true gods had some disadvantage, unless their believer numbers could rapidly expand.
“After monthly ranking settlement, there are also Hero Points rewards.” Xue Lingling’s beautiful eyes lit up.
Wu Xian glanced at the Hero Points reward rules; although not a lot, free is free.
Soon after, the initial rankings of the Domain Ranking were also announced. In the alliance match system, next to the club rankings, the Domain Ranking was newly added.
Clicking in, the four great true gods’ dojos indeed steadily held the top four positions.
For this result, all parties were definitely convinced.
Green Kingdom – Sky Green Tree King
Elf Fertile Land – Emperor Spirit of the Void
Deep Sea Labyrinth – Tooth of the Sea
Ghostly Domain Soul Hall – Abyss Demon Lord
Demon God Realm – Moshen Dojo
Myriad Beasts Wilderness – Divine Beast Dojo
Heavenly Kingdom Divine Capital – Shendu Dojo
Tongtian Continent – Tongtian Dojo
Yellow Springs Kingdom – Undead Dojo
Sacred Spirit Realm – Shenglin Dojo
…
Besides the four great true gods’ dojos, the subsequent top rankings were basically occupied by various top-tier dojos.
It could only be said that the alliance and Hero Tower still had some “measure”; this wave of initial rankings was fairly even.
However, initial ranking was just initial ranking; the ranking at month-end settlement was the key.
After scrolling down for a long time, they finally found the joint ranking of 【Underworld+Taoshi Mountain】 at 78th place.
Additionally, the entire ranking only counted the top hundred, emphasizing elite selection.
“How is it only 78th?” Xue Lingling grumbled in complaint.
“Normal; after all, it’s not perfected yet.” Wu Xian took it in stride. “Later I’ll plan to further perfect the Underworld; on your side, fill in Luofeng Mountain in the northern part of the only netherworld underworld.”
