Chapter 178: Chapter 177: How Did I End Up in Fifth Place (Please Subscribe)

Lin City Martial Arts Branch.

He Yejun just finished showering, wrapped in a towel, exposing his muscular upper body, and walked out of the bathroom.

A smile graced his lips; it was evident that he was in a good mood.

Indeed, that was the case.

Just two hours ago, he led four Entry Force Martial Artists from the association to hunt a Gale Wolf King in the wild.

Gale Wolves are Mid-level Fierce Beasts, but among them, there could also emerge a king, that is, a Gale Wolf King, a High-level Fierce Beast.

Possessing near-supersonic speed and unbreakable claws and fangs, even an Entry Force Martial Artist would inevitably die if scratched.

Fortunately, the risk was worth it, and after a round of shooting, they turned the Gale Wolf King into a sieve.

The purchase price of a Gale Wolf King is 3 million.

There were five of them in total, each getting 600,000 contribution points.

Not bad at all.

"If I can continue this kind of gain for the next two days, perhaps getting into the top three is possible?"

Thinking this, He Yejun frowned; the hope did not seem great.

He remembered the last time he checked, the third-ranked contribution points were around 8 million, he only had 5 million, still short by 3 million.

Unless in the next two days, his companions are willing to transfer their earned contribution points to him, then he could enter the top three.

But to do that, how easy would it be?

If he were asked to hand over dozens of thousands of hard-earned contribution points to others, even temporarily returned next month, he wouldn’t agree either.

"But it’s a chance to enter the Gravity Room free of charge."

He felt somewhat unwilling to let go.

He had been in the association for over two years, and had been in the Gravity Room few times, he could say each cultivation session had brought benefits beyond his imagination.

It’s a rare opportunity this month to make it into the top three, he really didn’t want to give it up.

"If the difference isn’t too much, I’ll talk to them, if they don’t agree, I’ll spend more money and buy it from them, we’ve been cooperating for so long; they should allow this small favor."

Contribution points can indeed be purchased with money but there is a limit on recharging. For One-Star Members, they can recharge up to 100,000 per month, equivalent to 100,000 contribution points.

Two-Star Members can recharge up to 200,000.

But actually, the 200,000 points can’t buy much, at most ten Top-grade Qi Blood Pills.

From this viewpoint, the association indeed discourages such behavior but kept the door open.

Thus, cash is not popular among martial artists.

Having made up his mind, he opened his phone, entered the association, found the leaderboard, and clicked to view.

"Wang Hao accumulated 12 million contribution points this month? I remember it was just 10 million yesterday."

He Yejun felt extremely envious.

With only two days left till the end of the month, it seems certain he will take the first spot.

Of course, such a rapid increase in Wang Hao’s contribution points has its reasons.

Firstly, his individual strength is very strong, ranking in the top three, even first among the hundreds of Entry Force Martial Artists in Jiangnan Sub-district.

Additionally, he formed a trio martial arts team.

The other two members are also strong; the most crucial part is their loyalty to him. Every hunt, he gets half of the earnings, which is terrifying.

"Oh well, he can’t be envied."

He Yejun shook his head.

It’s said those two were personally trained by Wang Hao, and they have good character.

People have tried to imitate but inevitably ended up in conflict.

Second place, 9 million.

He Yejun glanced, no change from last time.

Besides, he didn’t aspire for second place, reaching and maintaining third place would make him satisfied.

"Phew..."

He took a deep breath and looked down, suddenly surprised.

"Chu Qiao accumulated 8.8 million contribution points?"

He widened his eyes.

After a long time, a bitter smile appeared.

Just as he was rejoicing his own gain of 600,000 points getting closer to the third place, others were also progressing, and their steps were larger.

"Can I really catch up to this guy?"

He smiled bitterly, doubting himself deeply.

"Forget it, leave it to fate."

He shook his head after a moment.

The premise of companions giving up their contribution points to him is a smooth progression in the next two days, otherwise, without prey, what to offer?

"Next must be me then."

He sighed, looking down,

Originally feeling good, but seeing the third-ranked contribution points, turned gloomy.

"Ah?"

Next moment, he exclaimed, looking at the rightmost numbers on the phone, dumbfounded.

7.5 million contribution points?

When did his contribution points get so high?

Should be 5.6 million, right?

Did the branch office register incorrectly?

At this moment, he felt both joy and unease.

If it was indeed a registration mistake, it would be great, gaining nearly two million more contribution points, a windfall; it could buy many items, narrowing the gap to the third place, a little effort, and reaching it.

However, as the central office isn’t careless, even if hidden temporarily, upon exposure, the headquarters might retrieve the extra points and penalize, occurred before.

"What should I do? Report the mistake or pretend not to know?"

He hesitated, glancing inadvertently forward, instantly dumbstruck.

As the name wasn’t his, but Chen Fan.

He instantly sobered, looking down, soon finding his name under the fifth place.

"I’m now in fifth place?"

He gaped, incredulous.

Clearly remembering, when hunting this morning, he was fourth, now despite increased contribution points, his rank dropped?

Most importantly, where did this Chen Fan come from? No prior impression!

Upset, he looked up, even exited and re-entered, refreshing several times, reluctantly giving up.

Thus, it wasn’t a hallucination, the fourth spot was indeed taken by Chen Fan.

He Yejun’s heart sank.

"Entering the top three?"

Now, he can’t even enter the fourth.

"Damn it, where did this Chen Fan come from, gaining so many points?"

He cursed, looking.

"Transforming Force Martial Artist, Anshan City Branch? Anshan City Branch?"

He was shocked.

This branch was quite famous at headquarters, always ranking among the bottom three.

"This Chen is from Anshan City Branch? Impossible, how could this branch produce such a figure?"

Confused, he continued, spotting the number of fierce beasts killed, he froze.

Number of fierce beasts killed: 2

"???"

"System error?"

He Yejun displayed extreme shock.

Checked the contribution points, 7.5 million, just as before.

Thus, this Chen Fan killed just two fierce beasts, gaining 7.5 million points?

Meaning, clearly implied.

First, both beasts must be High-level Fierce Beasts.

Second, killed solely by him, at least, reported this way.

"Impossible, definitely impossible!"

He Yejun reacted shaking his head.

Entry Force Martial Artist, even Transforming Force, couldn’t solo slay a High-level Fierce Beast, even with luck, not twice.

Here’s an inside story!

Yes, definitely an inside story!

Likely, Anshan City Branch credited group efforts to one person, Chen Fan!

This violates association’s regulations.

"Bravo, Anshan City Branch!"

He Yejun was indignant.

If genuinely outmatched, he accepted, like Wang Hao, conceding willingly.

But Chen Fan just appeared suddenly, with dubious data, unapologetically ranking two kills.

Thinking this, he took a screenshot, rushed into the Entry Force Martial Artists group, intending to post but noticed the debate already ongoing.

"Folks, who’s this Chen Fan, suddenly in fourth? Previously never within top 100, right?"

"Correct, I was beyond 100, with 2.3 million points, clearly remember no Chen Fan among top 100."

"Just check his branch, recognize him, past two years, Anshan City Branch warriors never ranking top 100." Someone posted a sneer emoji.

"Could it be Anshan City Branch’s trick?"

"Know their chairman."

The speaker mentioned Sun Wei in the group.

Others mimicked, tagging all members.

"Anyone from Anshan City Branch? Chen Fan from your branch shot to fourth, explain?"

Seeing this, He Yejun tightened his fist, excited.

Yes, exactly!

Soon, a lengthy message appeared in the group.

"I’m Sun Wei, chairman of Anshan City Branch, Chen Fan indeed killed two High-level Fierce Beasts, a Violent Bear and a Gray-spotted Snake, solo, totaling 7.5 million contribution points, reported to headquarters, verify with Director Du for confirmation."

Sun Wei angrily replied at his desk.
