Season 1, Day 3.
The early morning sunlight filtered through the porthole glass, and the first thing He Zhaonian did when he woke up was to open the panel to check the points ranking.
It wasn't that he cared much about the rankings on this list; it was simply because every time he saw him and Sister Sai dominating the server, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He and Sister Sai were invincible!
But when He Zhaonian saw the ranking list again, his eyes widened and he lost his composure instantly.
"Oh my God!" He Zhaonian slapped his thigh suddenly, then quickly put on his T-shirt, got out of bed, and rushed out of the captain's room in one step.
Stamping down the stairs, he saw Taosai already exercising on the deck.
"Sister Sai, this is crazy, this is crazy, absolutely crazy!" He Zhaonian came up excitedly, "Have you seen the rankings? Hailan is number one again!"
Tao Sai continued to stretch his legs calmly.
At six in the morning, she woke from a deep sleep to the piercing sound of her alarm clock. Eight hours of deep sleep had dissipated the mental fatigue she had accumulated throughout the previous day.
After Tao Sai immersed her entire face in cold water for thirty seconds, she tilted her head back, took a deep breath, and instantly felt completely refreshed.
Then Tao Sai went ashore and ran five kilometers of cross-country aerobics. Stretching is necessary after exercise. If you don’t do this, your muscles will become stiff and your flexibility will be greatly reduced.
Now her body has fully adapted to the increased attribute points. The recent period should be boring to gain points, without much fighting. She is considering adding points evenly to her attributes.
"No, doesn't he sleep? Working all night? He's going to die of a sudden stroke. He's willing to give up his life just to get first place. I admit it." He Zhaonian was still muttering to himself.
In fact, Tao Sai also noticed that when she looked at the rankings last night, the player "Hai Lan" had only more than 8 million points, ranking third. When she woke up today, her points jumped directly to 13 million, far exceeding her and He Zhaonian's points of over 10 million.
Tao Sai couldn't imagine how he did it. People on the world channel had been discussing Hailan's return to the top early in the morning.
Players at the scene revealed that Hailan's points showed an overall steady upward trend that night, with an average increase of about 100,000 points per hour, but at two time points, one in the morning and five in the morning, the points suddenly soared by 2 million points respectively.
From this, Tao Sai could basically judge that the player "Hai Lan" had been killing bugs and transferring survivors simultaneously last night without any interruption.
What Tao Sai couldn't understand was how he managed to work all night. The fatigue he felt from killing bugs was proportional to the number of bugs he had killed. He seemed to have been gaining points during the day yesterday as well. How could he have stayed awake for 24 hours straight?
His energy is too abundant, unless he has a weak physical strength, or the skill blind box has given him some skill that replenishes energy.
In either case, Tao Sai didn't consider him an enemy, only a neutral player. After the elimination of the toxic "Qu Wuyi," players had become more peaceful and friendly. While there were occasional arguments on the world channel, no real conflicts arose, and there were no more player death notices on the world channel.
Just treat him as the child of someone else's family as mentioned by the elders. The existence of such a person is not necessarily a bad thing.
Of course, Tao Sai would not think of recruiting him. His nickname was not included in the original application for joining [Hai Lou]. Players like him must be thinking of forming their own alliance when the time is right.
After Shi Jiahui and Tang Yingxue got up one after another, the new day's scoring continued.
They continued to search online for the latest earthquake epicenter coordinates, using wormholes to teleport there in advance to deploy defenses. With their previous experience, their coordination had become increasingly seamless, each carrying out their duties in an orderly manner. When something happened, they could communicate immediately via headsets, coordinating and supporting each other.
Tao Sai and her commandos were at the front, Tang Yingxue was at the commanding heights using her electric sniper to achieve a point-to-point breakthrough, and He Zhaonian and Shi Jiahui were responsible for transporting and transferring the survivors.
When the defense line was under control, Tao Sai encouraged He Zhaonian and Shi Jiahui to go to the battlefield to kill bugs. Transferring the survivors could only get the final equal points. They also needed gold coins and experience points to improve their training level, otherwise no matter how high the points were, they would only be inflated.
Day 3 came to an end. Throughout the day, they traveled to three locations and divided a total of 18 million points, which was an improvement in the efficiency of earning points compared to Day 2.
He Zhaonian collapsed on the deck, exhausted both physically and mentally. Although it was a tiring day, it was quite fulfilling.
Curious, he opened the leaderboard again, and sure enough, Hai Lan was still in first place. Before he knew it, his total points had reached 19 million, just shy of 20 million.
The gap between him and the second-placed Tao Sai was nearly four million points, a gap even higher than the total points of the individual players after the 30th place.
"He's so awesome." Tang Yingxue was also looking at the rankings and couldn't help but admire him.
"You know what's most amazing? He was gaining points during the day yesterday, then he was working all night after dark, and he's still gaining points today. He hasn't closed his eyes for at least 36 hours," He Zhaonian said with a strange expression. "I'm worried he'll die suddenly."
"He should be killing bugs too, right? Killing bugs is so tiring. I have to rest for a while after firing a single shot with my sniper rifle, but my stamina won't increase no matter what," Tang Yingxue said with a pained look on her face. "If I can't increase my stamina the next time I level up or upgrade my star points, I'll collapse."
"Hey, hurry up and watch the world channel." Shi Jiahui suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, the others entered the [Interaction] module from the control panel. At this moment, a new announcement, distinct from the player chat messages, appeared on the world channel.
[[Hai Lan] created the alliance [Hu Ben (1/10)]]
The chat information of the parties involved appeared immediately below the announcement.
[Hai Lan (Lv4)]: The top 50 in the standings will join my league.
[Cai Koujiao (Lv3)]: Damn, Boss Hailan is now level 4!
[Feng Manman (Lv3)]: Finally there is a new alliance
[Qingchuan (Lv3)]: Worship
[Blue Knight (Lv3)]: Another level 4...
[Gongyang Zixun (Lv3)]: Hailan is indeed the top player in my eyes.
[Blue Knight (Lv3)]: Hailan should be the only level 4 player at the moment. I don't see anyone with a level 4 nickname in the world channel, unless he hasn't posted anything.
[Promising Youth (Lv3)]: I don't know if that Cx330 has reached level 4. He hasn't been on the world channel for a long time.
[I'm a fierce 1 and I'm not pretending anymore (Lv3)]: srds, the requirement of being in the top 50 in points is too harsh.
[RERP (Lv3)]: I am the 31st applicant, @(Hai Lan), sir, please approve it.
[RERP (Lv3)]: Wuhu takes off~ I have an organization!
[Zhao Yi (Lv3)]: Envy
[Small Ball King (Lv3)]: I'm currently ranked 58th, @(Hai Lan), big brother, give me a chance, I will definitely rush into the top 50 as soon as possible
[Flame Demon (Lv3)]: ? Get on the bus first and buy the ticket later, right? You still want to be beautiful?
[Wonderful Dead Leaf Butterfly (Lv3)]: Great, I’m now a member of the Huben team. Boss, please help me fly!
Tao Sai silently watched the new information constantly jumping on the transparent light screen on his retina, and still did not speak.
Just as she expected, the player "Hai Lan" killed quite a few bugs, because the gold coins and experience he earned in this way could meet the upgrade requirements. Simply rescuing survivors could only earn him points.
He not only used the experience coins he earned to upgrade his refugee ship, but also purchased an Alliance Creation Qualification Card. These two gold items totaled several million in expenses, not counting his weapons and equipment. Tao Sai guessed that, despite having no allies before, he probably had a large team behind him, much like her commandos.
Less than 10 minutes after the alliance [Hu Ben] was created, the number of members was displayed as 10/10. Tao Sai checked the member list and found that without exception, the corresponding nicknames could be found in the top 50 of the scoreboard, and they were ranked high. It was obvious that the leader "Hai Lan" also screened the players who applied.
There is no doubt that the new alliance [Hu Ben] has gathered the ten best players in the entire server, and their overall paper combat effectiveness is higher than that of [Hai Lou].
Of course, such a quickly formed alliance also has many disadvantages. The allies are not familiar with each other, lack communication, and are even far apart, so it is unknown whether there will be any disloyalty or internal strife.
Tao Sai still prefers to recruit members himself. Strength is not everything. Competence and adaptability among members are equally important.
The speeches on the world channel are still going on, but they are mostly just idle chats, and there doesn't seem to be much nutritious and valuable information.
Tao Sai closed the page and prepared to eat something, but her eyes suddenly froze and she opened the world channel again.
[Warriors guard Chris Cannon (Lv3)]: Brothers, have you ever encountered a kind of green bug in the bug tide?
[Gongyang Zixun (Lv3)]: Hailan is the coolest!
[High Plant (Lv3)]: What?
[One Sword Light Chills Nineteen States (Lv3)]: Green your head, you are the one with green head
[Baby blue (Lv3)]: Could it be that the bug has mutated? hhhhh
[Small House that Can't Afford a House (Lv3)]:? Are you guys talking about something I don't know?
[Warriors guard Chris Cannon (Lv3)]: I just encountered a green flying insect. It's about the same size and appearance as a mature insect, but its speed and agility are completely different. It attacked one of my crew members and directly dug a large piece of meat from his back. I fired several shots at the insect, but it dodged them all.
[Little Bear Snail Noodles (Lv3)]: yysy, your shooting skills are too bad, almost the same as my name
[Warriors guard Chris Cannon (Lv3)]: No, it's really different from ordinary insects. For other mature flying insects, I always estimate the amount of time before shooting, and I can hit them, and I have hit quite a few. But this insect with a green shell, I am sure it has a certain degree of intelligence, and it is deliberately avoiding my bullets.
[Coffee Coke (Lv3)]: Is this true? Why do I feel it's so mysterious?
[Promising Youth (Lv3)]: Are you kidding me?
[Warriors guard Chris Cannon (Lv3)]: I can swear on this.
[Three Feet of Life (Lv3)]: Then, did the bugs run away?
[Warriors guard Chris Cannon (Lv3)]: I finally had everyone focus their fire on it and finally shot it down. Luckily, we only encountered one...
