Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start
Chapter 1400 - Chapter 1400 1310 Far Ahead (2)_2

Chapter 1400: 1310, Far Ahead (2)_2 Chapter 1400: 1310, Far Ahead (2)_2 The third place “Lemo Mercenaries” was trailing by just 7 points.

Now, the gap between first and second place had widened once again, almost reaching 1000 points!

According to this pace, it would take “Silver Guard” about six to seven hours to catch up with Su Yu’s Team, let alone overtake them.

“Ah, as expected,” Lu Man sighed upon seeing the results.

Bella responded, “Two settlements have proven that our team indeed does not have the strength to defeat Su Yu’s Team. Without interference, Su Yu’s Team securing the championship is a certainty.”

She looked at Lu Man, “Lord Grid, the same question remains, should we interfere?”

“This…” Lu Man frowned, hesitating again.

“Do you really need to hesitate?” Bella asked. “The legion commander personally ordered us to take first place. Without interference, it’s clear we cannot achieve that. Moreover, I think the earlier we interfere, the better; if it’s too late, we might not even be able to catch up.”

“But the situation is different now,” Lu Man objected, frowning. “Undoubtedly, many people are watching the bounty. If we interfere and take first place, how bad would the impact be?

If Su Yu was only ahead by a few points or maybe ten points, we could tweak things a bit. But now that it’s almost a thousand points, any interference will immediately be noticed.”

Bella fell silent; this was indeed a problem that couldn’t be blindly handled.

They seemed to be caught in a dilemma of advancing nor retreating; as if stuck.

Finally, Lu Man decided, “We should report to the legion commander in a timely manner and see what he advises.”

Three hours later, the first settlement point of the bounty event arrived.

“Settlement point” refers to the scoring checkpoints in a bounty event.

In such events, the scores are not updated in real time.

Due to the need for repeated verification after cases are reported, there can be undercalculations, overcalculations, or missed calculations of points.

For example, a case initially rated at 500 points could be upgraded upon discovering new victims during the verification process, or it could be downgraded if the reporting team exaggerates the facts.

Thus, points from reported cases are not immediately displayed, they require careful verification, and only after confirming the accuracy are the respective points awarded.

The settlement cycle is every three hours.

Every three hours, the staff responsible for score settlement will display the verified scores for everyone to check.

The times these scores are publicly displayed are also referred to as “settlement points.”

Three hours after the start of the bounty, the first settlement point finally arrived!

In the interface of the public network bounty event, scores for all teams were refreshed and re-ranked, showing the scores after settlement.

Everyone was waiting for this moment.

Upon the hour, whether it was internal members like Lu Man and Bella, the participating teams, or ordinary residents enjoying the spectacle, everyone immediately clicked to see which teams ranked at the top.

However, it wasn’t long before a tsunami-like chorus of amazement erupted across various star zones:

“Hymn above, it’s still ‘Fugue Nova’ in first place!”

“1863 points! An increase of 952 points from the starting point.”

“Haven’t the powerhouse teams overtaken them? Wait, ‘Lemo Mercenaries’ are second now, but they only have 1150 points, only an increase of 418 points from the first? Why has it increased so little?”

At this settlement point, “Mole Mercenaries” scored 1150 points, just 3 points ahead of their competitor (“Silver Guard” at 1147 points), securing the second place.

But to everyone’s shock, these teams from powerful forces not only failed to close the gap with Su Yu’s Team but even widened it!

And not just by a little!

Su Yu’s Team gained 952 points in three hours, while the top ten other teams generally only had around 300-400 points. At this rate, how could they even think of overtaking?

“My goodness, who exactly is this ‘Su Yu’? It’s terrifying!”

“With this pace, other teams simply can’t surpass them.”

“In three hours, gaining over nine hundred points… I know a team that participated in the bounty, they worked hard, and all members are Eighth Order, yet in three hours they had only gained a little over a hundred points.”

“It was assumed that this team would just be a flash in the pan, but now it doesn’t seem like it at all!”

…

The public network was flooded with exclamations.

Just three hours ago, everyone thought that Su Yu was just lucky or had strong individual strength and would soon fall behind.

But unexpectedly, they showed no signs of falling behind, continuing on they are set to take a definitive first place! And it’s not just a slight lead!

In the command office of Pan-South Base 05 in Star Sector No. 2, Lu Man and his assistant Bella were also completely stunned!

The unexpected dominance of Su Yu’s Team was simply defying natural order!

“Indeed, my instincts were right,” Bella thought to herself.

She looked at Lu Man and said seriously, “Lord Gried, should we take action?”

“…Let’s wait a bit longer,” Lu Man hesitated.

Su Yu’s performance far exceeded his expectations, giving him a metaphorical slap in the face.

Could it be that Su Yu was just extremely lucky again, stumbling upon a case like the “Morris Case”?

However, it’s too early to suppress Su Yu’s Team now; it’s better to first understand the specifics.

“Bella, check the detailed content of the cases submitted by Su Yu.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Also, let’s wait and see after the next scoring point.”

…

As they busily searched for information, time quickly passed.

Before long, three hours went by, bringing them to the second scoring point.

But at this scoring point, Lu Man became visibly more anxious.

In the previous time, he and his assistant Bella had reviewed all the cases reported by Su Yu.

Out of sight, out of mind, but looking into it was a shock!

The additional 952 points Su Yu gained did not come from solving another major case like the “Morris Case” as he had expected. These 952 points encompassed 9 cases, each one scoring around one hundred points.

What shocked him was that every case came with solid evidence!

He reviewed the evidence and found no ambiguities or unclear descriptions.

Moreover, each case showed no signs of fabrication and all unfolded after the bounty started, leaving no ground for criticism.

These facts thoroughly showcased Su Yu’s capabilities – it wasn’t just a stroke of luck; they could genuinely maintain a huge lead!

These realities made Lu Man’s “face” ache; he had truly misjudged the situation!

And Lu Man speculated that Su Yu’s Team would likely still lead at this scoring point.

…

Sure enough.

Another three hours passed, and the second scoring point arrived, refreshing the scores of all teams.

At this scoring point, Su Yu’s Team gained an additional 666 points, maintaining the lead with a total of 2529 points.

Second place was taken back by the “Silver Guard,” who scored 390 points this round, bringing their total to 1537.

The “Lemo Mercenaries” closely followed in third place, trailing by just 7 points.

The gap between the first and second place had widened again, nearly reaching a 1000-point difference!

At this rate, it would take the “Silver Guard” six or seven hours to catch up with Su Yu’s Team, let alone surpass them.

“Ah, as expected,” Lu Man sighed upon seeing the results.

Bella continued, “Two scoring points have proven our team indeed lacks the strength to beat Su Yu’s Team. If we don’t intervene, Su Yu’s Team winning is a certainty.”

She looked at Lu Man: “Lord Gried, the same question again, should we intervene?”

“This…” Lu Man furrowed his brows, hesitation setting in again.

“You shouldn’t hesitate, right?” Bella asked. “The Legion Commander personally instructed us to take first place. If we don’t intervene, obviously, we won’t win. And I think the sooner we intervene, the better, as later we might not be able to catch up.”

“But the situation is different now,” Lu Man frowned. “No doubt, many are watching the bounty. If we intervene and take first place, how severely wrong would the impact be?

If Su Yu had only a few more points, or ten or so, we could possibly manipulate a little. But now with nearly a thousand points difference, any intervention would be immediately noticeable.”

…

Bella fell silent; this was indeed a problem; they couldn’t act rashly.

Now they seemed caught in a dilemma, neither advancing nor retreating seemed right, as if stuck here.

Finally, Lu Man decided, “We should report to the Legion Commander immediately, see what he suggests.”
