[Alliance special effect [Additional Value] takes effect, you gain 1,459,650 points.]
Tao Sai checked the string of numbers that appeared in front of him and confirmed that they were all seven digits, in the millions.
Since she and He Zhaonian are in a team, the points obtained by transferring survivors should be divided equally between the two, so the total points are about 9.7 million.
Tao Sai remembered He Zhaonian's last report on the comms channel: he had evacuated nearly 20,000 survivors using the "Wee Light." If each survivor earned 500 points, the numbers would roughly match. The 500 at the end further confirmed He Zhaonian's suspicions.
Based on a score of 500, they had successfully rescued over 19,000 survivors. Of course, the survivors who had been evacuated to the rescue ship at the last minute weren't counted in the total, which was a bit disappointing, but Tao Sai was quite satisfied. This efficiency was exactly what she wanted.
Moreover, there is an additional 30% bonus for team formation due to the alliance effect.
Adding the two points together, she instantly earned a staggering 6.32 million points. Adding her original 79,000 points and the 430,000 she'd earned from killing insects at the sniper point, her total reached 6.90 million points, propelling her from outside the top 50 to the top of the leaderboard.
The second place on the points list is "Sanchi Weiming", who also saw a surge of more than 6 million points.
Hailan, who was squeezed to third place by two members of the alliance [Hailou], only had two million points. The fourth and fifth had even fewer points, none of which exceeded one and a half million.
The moment He Zhaonian saw this long string of numbers, he sat down on the ground and was in a daze for a long time.
"I... second?" he muttered in disbelief.
It felt like a dream, a sense of unreality lingering in his brain. He Zhaonian pinched his thigh hard, the sharp pain confirming his consciousness. He climbed to his feet and excitedly ran towards the cabin where the wormhole had led him.
"Sister Sai, have you seen the standings? We're taking off!" He Zhaonian's eyes were shining, and he was so excited that he almost burst into tears.
Then he opened his arms slightly, made a take-off gesture, ran in a strange trajectory, and made a "woohoo" sound in his mouth to imitate the sound of an airplane engine.
Tao Sai looked at him strangely.
A few minutes later, after finally landing smoothly, Tao Sai said with a relaxed expression: "We were able to transfer so many rescued survivors this time, thanks to you, Xiao He."
Being suddenly praised, He Zhaonian was delighted but also a little embarrassed. He immediately said modestly, "No, no, it was mainly because you, Sister Sai, held the line. Xiaochuan kept reporting the insect flow and insect acupoints in the headset, and I was completely numb. But Sister Sai, you held it all. And that level 2 insect acupoint only a few hundred meters away, I won't say anything more, Sister Sai, you are..."
The voice stopped abruptly, and He Zhaonian swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He actually wanted to say, "Sister Sai, you are my god!", but he held back, as it seemed frivolous and disrespectful.
He needs to be calm and composed, and just worship silently without making any noise.
"We are a team and need this kind of cooperation." Tao Sai expressed his thoughts sincerely.
"Yes, we are allies!" He Zhaonian nodded vigorously in deep agreement.
"These points are enough for us to have a good sleep tonight, and we will continue to gain points tomorrow." As he said this, Tao Sai glanced at the time. It was almost 7:30 in the evening.
"Okay!" He Zhaonian understood what she meant and looked around the cabin. "Sister Sai, there's only an electric fan in the room. It'll definitely be hot to sleep in at night. Do you want to sleep in the captain's cabin? I'll find room for you."
“No need,” Towsey said.
Having an electric fan is good enough, and she can be equipped with [deep sleep], so she can sleep until dawn once she closes her eyes without being woken up by the heat.
"Then eat something before bed. I'll get you some snacks." He Zhaonian didn't ask her what she wanted to eat because she looked very tired and it was difficult for her to think of what to eat. He planned to get a little of everything so that she would definitely like it.
"I'm not in the mood to eat now. Just drinking a few bottles of nutrient solution will be fine." Tao Sai shook her head with her eyes a little out of focus. She held a bottle of nutrient solution that she had just bought from the [mall] in her hand and popped open the cork.
"OK, Sister Sai, you take a rest first. I'll go take care of the aftermath." He attentively directed the electric fan towards Tao Sai's bed, then exited the cabin and closed the door. "Good night, Sister Sai. See you tomorrow!"
Tao Sai lay on the lower bunk and casually placed the empty bottle of nutrient solution on the bedside cabinet.
She was really tired. At the blocking point, her twenty commandos had all fallen asleep once or twice, but she was the only one who kept her eyes open the whole time.
Tao Sai was also mentally exhausted, but she was unwilling to close her eyes in such a critical situation. The situation was constantly changing, and the position needed her to command on the spot. Although Cheng Li might be able to command if she handed the command, Tao Sai preferred to hold her fate in her own hands.
Tao Sai closed his heavy eyelids and fell asleep ten seconds later.
The "Wee Light" brought the last batch of survivors to the south bank, hid its body and name, and quietly sailed into the night of the Li River.
He Zhaonian leaned on the railing of the deck, feeling the cool night breeze, and his mood was still very good.
He Zhaonian opened the [Interaction] world channel and wanted to see if there was any new information, but found that the channel was directly exploded. It was a bit like the scene when Sister Sai killed the public enemy of the players last time. The chat interface was completely replaced every second. If he wanted to see the messages he missed, he could only scroll up continuously. Among them, there were many messages that directly circled him.
There were too many messages and they were too complicated, so He Zhaonian browsed through them selectively.
[Forget-me-not (Lv3)]: Is it really a bug?
[Warriors guard Chris Cannon (Lv3)]: I think so, because even if they farm bugs, no matter how hard they farm, the value will increase slowly. How can it increase by six million in one second?
[One Sword Cuts Mountains and Rivers (Lv3)]: Bug, it must be a bug!
[One Sword Cuts Mountains and Rivers (Lv3)]: How do I report an error to the system?
[Tang Sixi (Lv3)]: Do you have conjunctivitis?
[One Sword Cuts Mountains and Rivers (Lv3)]: I can't report a bug, right?
[One Sword One Thought (Lv3)]: Where did this saint bitch come from, yue
[One Sword, One Thought (Lv3)]: If you don’t clean up the bugs, what will the players who work so hard think?
[Tang Sixi (Lv3)]: Shut up, you two have toilets on your mouths, it stinks
[Small House that Can't Afford a House (Lv3)]: Do you think it's possible that they added 300,000 crew members in one go?
[Brave Man (Lv3)]: ...
[Great Kindness Man Zhang Beihai (Lv3)]: Good guess, don't guess next time
[TUES (Lv3)]: ...Why don't you just say you took in 600,000 refugees?
[SAKURA (Lv3)]: I think I went straight to the insect nest, and then threw 10,000 explosive bombs, and I was in a trance.
After browsing, He Zhaonian left an expression on the world channel in a relaxed and comfortable manner, and made a light bubble.
[Three Feet of Life (Lv3)]:
[Blue Knight (Lv3)]: Here I come
[High Plant (Lv3)]: @(Three Feet of Life), what have you done?
[Point Guard (Lv3)]: Is this a bug?
[Tang Sixi (Lv3)]: You finally showed up
[Tang Tangyuan (Lv3)]: Come on, tell me.
[Three Feet of Life (Lv3)]: @(blank) @(madness), don’t you two care about me very much?
[Three Feet of Life (Lv3)]: Then let me first share my feelings today.
[Three Feet of Life (Lv3)]: Honestly, the feeling of winning without doing anything.
[Three Feet of Life (Lv3)]: Pretty boring. I haven't done anything yet and the points are already up. Isn't it infuriating, you two? @(blank) @(mad)
[Blank (Lv3)]: Haha, isn’t it just that you have a big boss leading you?
[Madness (Lv3)]: You are such a bully, look at how cocky you are.
[Three Feet of Life (Lv3)]: Are you anxious?
[Madness (Lv3)]: I'm so angry, let's fight you one-on-one.
[Blank (Lv3)]: Why do you bite everyone you catch?
[Hai Lan (Lv3)]: @(blank) @(mad), shut up.
[Li Wu (Lv3)]: Stop arguing, let's stop fighting among our players.
[Tang Tangyuan (Lv3)]: @(三尺微命), ignore the idiot, tell us how you did it?
[Little Bear Snail Rice Noodles (Lv3)]: Please share
[Finally I don’t have to take the postgraduate entrance exam (Lv3)]: @(三尺微命), I have been learning from your valuable information. I know you are a good person. I am now the last one. I don’t want to die 5555
[Three Feet of Life (Lv3)]: @(blank) @(mad), you two get out of the channel first, don't listen.
[Three Feet of Life (Lv. 3)]: Actually, there's nothing much to it; it's simple: rescue survivors. We've calculated that rescuing one survivor earns 500 points, and there's no limit to the number of survivors you can rescue. Unlike killing bugs, where killing too many will cause fatigue, rescuing survivors is much more efficient than simply targeting specific targets.
[Small Ball King (Lv3)]: I see.
[Forget-me-not (Lv3)]: An unimagined path
[Zilong (Lv3)]: Is it still possible?
[Tim (Lv3)]: I always thought this game was just about killing bugs.
[Li Wu (Lv3)]: No more talking, I’ll change my ranking strategy right away!
[Tang Tangyuan (Lv3)]: Killing bugs at specific locations is a thankless task, and it's exhausting.
[Tang Sixi (Lv3)]: Actually, I'd also like to try rescuing survivors. I guess most players these days just spawn monsters at fixed locations, looking for a level 1 worm, and then waiting for them to spawn. But don't you think that's really pointless? I find it utterly boring and uninspiring. Just accumulating points for the sake of rank, becoming nothing more than a monster-spawning machine. We've been chosen by the game system, endowed with abilities far superior to ordinary humans. Shouldn't we be doing more?
[One Sword, One Thought (Lv3)]: The saintly bitch is going crazy again
[Finally I don’t have to take the postgraduate entrance exam (Lv3)]: Thanks for sharing, I will definitely be able to get out of the last place!
[Small House Where You Can't Buy a House (Lv3)]: Copy the homework!
[Three Feet of Life (Lv. 3)]: Don't rush to copy my work. I'm just offering a strategy for climbing the ranks, not blindly following it. Searching for survivors is full of unexpected possibilities. You might get lucky, but you can also get unlucky. It's possible to be wiped out by a high-level Zergling or a massive Zerg swarm. Furthermore, rescuing survivors while simultaneously trying to fend off the Zerg swarm is incredibly challenging, especially without reliable teammates to back you up.
[Three Feet of Life (Lv3)]: In conclusion, I hope everyone will do their best and choose the way to rank up that suits them best, with safety first.
[Gao Shan I Meng (tLv3)]: So who are your reliable teammates?
[I Dream of the Mountains (Lv3)]: Oh. Excuse me.
[High Plant (Lv3)]: Let's all go, there are big guys leading us.
[GT (Lv3)]: I also want to have teammates to support me...
[Forget-me-not (Lv3)]: Envy
[The pride of the easy win world (Lv3)]: QAQ
[Baby blue (Lv3)]: Is Hailou really not short of people?
[Baby blue (Lv3)]: I want to join the alliance! Experience the 30% additional team benefits
[Cheshire Cat (Lv3)]: Did you forget to read the application?
[Mr. Bucai Youshan (Lv3)]: @ (Three-foot Micro Life)
[Mr. Bucai Youshan (Lv3)]: Third Brother, please, please introduce me to the boss. I'm really good. I kowtow to you. I kowtow to you, Third Brother!!! My dear Third Brother!
At five in the morning, the shrill alarm clock woke Tao Sai from her deep sleep. She had fallen asleep before eight o'clock the previous night, so she had slept enough time so far.
Tao Sai came out of the cabin, went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water, and then sat on the deck and looked at the dawn sky quietly.
She has now fully recovered from her fatigue and her mind is clear. She wants to do a simple review.
The first day of the season ended perfectly.
But it wasn't perfect. It took the "Glimmer" nearly six hours to rescue the survivors. Fortunately, the rescue boat finally arrived, otherwise more than half of the survivors would have died on the riverbank.
This is enough to show that their transportation capacity is insufficient.
It is also unrealistic to use her "Deep Sea Fish" because the deck is currently full of crops and all the usable space on the ship has been used, with not much space left.
Of course, there is another way, which is to upgrade the refuge ship to level four as soon as possible.
But there was a problem: a Class IV refugee boat was much larger than a Class III one. Inland rivers were generally narrow and shallow, so a Class IV refugee boat couldn't stretch out and would easily run aground in a river like the Li River.
The alliance only has two members and seems to be understaffed. Hailou needs to recruit more allies, Tao Sai thought.
An hour later, He Zhaonian greeted her warmly and handed over two bottles of Orange Juice. "Good morning, Sister Sai!"
Tao Sai smiled and nodded, then got straight to the point: "Xiao He, if Hailou wants to expand again, do you have any recommendations?"
He Zhaonian thought for a moment with a serious expression. "I think Zhizhi and Tang Sixi are good."
"Why?" Tao Sai was a little surprised. His idea coincided with his own.
"Sister Sai, I don't know if you were paying attention to the chat history of the [Hunting] channel at that time. I have been communicating with them since I joined the channel, discussing ways to deal with the public enemy of players. They are players with a strong sense of justice. Their strength may be average, and you can tell by looking at the side of the scoreboard. But at that strength, they still chose to accept hidden tasks and even planned to take the initiative. I think they will be very good partners. And that 'Mr. Bucai Youshan' is actually okay, but I always feel that he is useless, so let's forget about him." He Zhaonian said.
Somewhere in the Yangtze River Basin, two hundred kilometers away.
"Zhizhi!!!"
"What’s wrong with you?"
"[Hailou] approved my application!"
"Congratulations, sister."
"Zhizhi, you're in too!"
“!”
