Sun Yiming was most enthusiastic about the rankings; he opened the leaderboard and beamed with joy after seeing the data.
"We are still number one, with 12,764 fish killed."
Everyone stopped eating their breakfast.
"You're not seeing things?"
"So many fish were killed in one night?"
"It seems the octopus escaped unscathed."
The octopus, which was not allowed to enter the house, was now perched on the window, "listening" to everyone praising it, its eight tentacles dancing merrily.
They were happy, but the second-place winner had a long face.
After a night of hard work, they finally brought their numbers up to 7,000, which was several hundred more than the number one team had.
They firmly believe that no one can surpass them in terms of sheer willpower. They're just number one; as long as they're willing to work that hard, they can easily surpass them.
The next morning, the second-place team excitedly opened the fish-killing leaderboard.
"What! What happened?" someone exclaimed.
Hearing the exclamations, the other team members in second place also came closer. What they saw shocked them. The first place team had reached 12,000!
So what if they stayed up all night!
Could they really be a joke?!
No, they absolutely refuse to admit it.
"They must have been working hard behind the scenes!"
"That's right. Some people like to work hard in secret and get good grades. They like to hear others call them academic geniuses."
"Yes! That's it!"
"I never expected them to be number one."
So the second-place winners opened the chat channel again.
District 2333, Regional Chat Group (100000/100000):
"First place, you guys are too sneaky! We should compete fairly and squarely, but you secretly killed fish behind our backs at night!"
"Is it wrong to admit you've tried? There's nothing shameful about trying!"
The preacher said, "Hard work is a glorious thing, but excessive imagination is not necessarily so."
"2333, I saw it. The second place winner failed the challenge, couldn't accept the fact, and started to escape reality."
"It's only a little over double now, when will it reach the betting volume?"
"Don't rush."
...
Once the members of Squad 2333 learned the number of fish killed, they lost interest and continued eating their breakfast. Sun Yiming, on the other hand, switched to the chat channel to check messages, habitually gathering information.
After seeing the second-place finisher's speech, he didn't know what to say.
In reality, they didn't stay up all night, didn't work hard, and rarely even had the chance to take action.
But even if he said those words, the second-place team wouldn't believe it, since they were so convinced that they could surpass the first-place team with sheer willpower.
"What's wrong?" Xu Lulu asked, noticing the complicated expression on Sun Yiming's face.
"I saw that the team that came in second place in this fish-killing competition had a lot of misunderstandings about themselves."
"oh."
Xu Lulu wasn't very concerned about this matter, but Gu Xi was quite interested. She asked, "What is it?"
Sun Yiming recounted the events, and everyone present remained silent in various ways.
In the opinion of the lucky Xu Lulu, this kind of thing is really not something that can be solved by the liver.
Lorraine has high combat skills, and although he tries his best to kill fish, he feels that he doesn't need to be as extreme as them.
Lin Xiaoxiao was somewhat lucky and also quite capable. She felt that there was no point in fighting for victory or defeat in doing things.
Li Ruoyang may lack martial prowess, but he has good luck. Since arriving in this world, he has mastered the art of survival and understands the importance of being tactful in his actions and words.
