Chapter 1403 - Chapter 1403 1311 Far Ahead (3)_3

Chapter 1403: 1311, Far Ahead (3)_3 Chapter 1403: 1311, Far Ahead (3)_3 Busy with the inquiries, time swiftly passed by.

Soon, another three hours elapsed, and it was time for the second settlement.

However, during this settlement point, Lu Man became noticeably more anxious.

He and his assistant Bella had just reviewed all the cases reported by Su Yu.

But unexpectedly, the results were shocking!

The 952 points added by Su Yu did not come from solving a huge case like “The Morris Case” as he had anticipated. These 952 points consisted of 9 cases, each scoring around a hundred points.

What shocked him even more was that each of these cases had incredibly conclusive evidence!

He examined the evidence and could not find any vague or unclear descriptions.

Moreover, each case was free of any forgery and all occurred after the bounty kicked off, leaving him unable to pick any flaws.

This fully demonstrated Su Yu’s capabilities; it wasn’t just a stroke of good luck, they were indeed way ahead!

These facts made Lu Man’s face hurt from embarrassment, he had truly misjudged the situation!

Furthermore, Lu Man guessed that at this settlement point, Su Yu’s Team was likely still leading.

…

As expected.

After another three hours, the second settlement point arrived, and the scores of all teams were refreshed again.

At this settlement point, Su Yu’s Team gained an additional 666 points, continuing to hold the lead with a total of 2529 points.

The second place was once again claimed by the “Silver Guard,” who scored 390 points this time, bringing their total to 1537 points.

The third place, “Lemo Mercenaries,” was closely behind with a difference of just 7 points.

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

At this rate, the “Silver Guard” would need six to seven hours just to catch up to Su Yu’s Team, not to mention surpassing them.

“Sigh, it really went like this,” Lu Man sighed upon seeing the results.

Bella interjected, “Two calculations have proven our team indeed lacks the strength to defeat Su Yu’s Team. If we don’t interfere, Su Yu’s Team winning the championship is almost certain.”

She looked at Lu Man, “Lord Grid, should we interfere then?”

“This…” Lu Man furrowed his brows, as his hesitation resurfaced.

“Do we even need to hesitate?” Bella asked. “The Legion Commander personally ordered us to clinch first place. Without intervention, it’s clear we can’t achieve that. Moreover, I think the sooner we act, the better; we might not be able to catch up if we wait too long.”

“But things are different now,” Lu Man retorted, frowning. “No doubt, many are paying attention to this bounty. If we interfere and take first place, how bad would the fallout be? If Su Yu had only a few more points or a dozen, we might manipulate a little. But now, nearly a thousand points apart, any interference would immediately be recognized.”

Bella remained silent, acknowledging the problem; they couldn’t handle this blindly.

They seemed to be caught in a dilemma – advancing or retreating both seemed incorrect, as if stuck here.

Finally, Lu Man decided, “Let’s report to the Legion Commander promptly and see what he advises.”

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

“Settlement point” refers to a node where bounty points are tallied.

During the bounty event, points are not updated in real-time.

As cases reported need to be verified repeatedly, issues arise, such as under-calculating, over-calculating, or omitting scores.

For instance, a case initially rated at 500 points may be raised in rating upon the discovery of a new victim, or lowered due to the reporting team exaggerating facts.

Thus, points from reported cases do not immediately reflect, requiring thorough verification before final scores are issued.

The settlement period for points is every three hours.

Every three hours, the staff responsible for points settlement would publicize the verified points, making them available for everyone to review.

The time of points publication is also referred to as the “settlement point.”

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

In the interface of the public network bounty event, scores of all teams were refreshed and reranked, displaying the post-settlement results.

Everyone had been anticipating this moment.

Upon the hour, whether it was internal members like Lu Man and Bella, participating teams in the bounty, or the ordinary residents watching the excitement, everyone immediately clicked to check which teams ranked at the top.

However, not long after, a tsunami-like exclamation erupted across various star zones:

“Praise the hymn, Fugue Nova is still in first place!”

“1863 points! An increase of 952 points compared to the beginning.”

“Didn’t those major forces’ teams manage to overtake? Wait, ‘Lemo Mercenaries’ is second now, but they only have 1150 points, having gained just 418 points since the first? Why is the increase so minimal?”

At this settlement point, “Mole Mercenaries” with 1150 points, just narrowly surpassing their competitors by 3 points (“Silver Guard” with 1147 points), moved up to second place.

But to everyone’s immense surprise, these teams from major forces not only failed to narrow the points gap with Su Yu’s Team, but the gap actually widened significantly!

And the widening wasn’t slight either!

Su Yu’s Team gained an additional 952 points in three hours, while the other top ten teams garnered only around 300-400 points each. How could they hope to overtake at this rate!

“My god, just who is this ‘Su Yu’? Absolutely terrifying!”

“Following this pace, the other teams don’t stand a chance of overtaking them.”
