Chapter 154
The Moon Goddess team had made all the arrangements for their next move, but unfortunately things did not go as planned. Even though they had been deliberately looking for the Azure Dragon team, more than ten hours had passed and they still hadn't seen even the shadow of their target.
"Damn it! Can they be invisible?!" Henry gritted his teeth. He is well-known for his hot temper in the Moon Goddess team, while everyone else is calm and composed.
It is now two o'clock in the morning, and a full twenty-six hours have passed since the start of the game. The points ranking is updated every two hours, and now is the update time.
——
Team: Qinglong
Points: 350
Rank: 1
——
Team: Luna
Points: 340
Rank: 2
——
Team: Mogrosa
Points: 320
Rank: 3

From the first update of the points at 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon to now, in the eight hours, they took the initiative to find two teams, accidentally encountered a team, and finally killed seven people and seriously injured three people. The team points increased by 170. Now we are only ten points away from the Qinglong team, and it is just a matter of less than one head, which is basically not difficult.
However, Boulder had a frown on his face.
"What's the matter, Captain?" asked Cronin, who was sitting next to him.
They were in a remote corner of the comprehensive area, with a beautiful craft round table and five small sofas arranged in an arc, as if they were specially prepared for a team of five. It was basically no problem to just sleep there for a night if they felt sleepy. Not only that, the terrain here is also very good, with obstacles on three sides and only one way in. If someone else breaks in, it would be easy to detect. For this reason, they used this place as their camp and came back directly when they needed to rest.
"I always feel that something is not right with the Qinglong team." Boulder replied, "Look at the rankings. The top fifteen teams have all gained points from yesterday afternoon until now, except for them. Fox is not an inexperienced novice, he must know that those points can only allow them to temporarily occupy the first place, and they will definitely not last until the end. But after such a long time, their points have not changed at all. What on earth is he thinking?"
Cronin heard this and looked up at the LCD screen. It was indeed as Boulder said, this was unreasonable. He concentrated on thinking for a moment, and suddenly thought of a possibility, "Captain, do you think it's possible that they simply can't get the points, rather than not wanting to get them?"
"You mean, someone is injured?" Boulder deduced from this line of thought, "It is even very likely that there are three combatants. As a result, the team's strength has been greatly reduced, resulting in them being unable to do what they want."
That being said, it does make sense.
"If that's the case, their points probably won't change much in the future. Give them an extra 50 points, bringing it up to 400. Add the number plates in their hands, and the maximum will be around 15. At the end of the game, their points will be around 530 at most. If they exceed this score, the only ones who can compete with us for first place will be Mogrosa and his men."
"Including the five number plates we got today, we have a total of fourteen. I wonder how many there are on Mogrosa's side." On the second day of the game, basically all the team's number plates were hidden. Even if you wiped out everyone in a team, it would be difficult to find even one number plate. The reason they were able to get five today was that when they found the first team, the other team happened to be in the camp. After the fight, they searched there and found the hidden number plates.
Thinking of this, Boulder prepared to put the new number plate together with the previous one. There was a pot of green plants in the corner, and their number plates were pressed under the pot. He stood up and walked over, moved the flower pot, took out the number plate from his clothes pocket and prepared to put it over, but the next moment he was stunned.
Because of the angle, Cronin couldn't see what was happening at the bottom of the flower pot, but he could see Boulder's movements clearly. He immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly stood up and walked over, asking as he walked, "What's going on?"
Soon he saw the reason why Boulder was stunned. The bottom of the flowerpot was empty, there was nothing at all. The nine number plates that were supposed to be underneath were missing!
After several verifications, when Yang Xinyao's divination results were correct, Jing Ling went out to sweep with peace of mind. His target was naturally the number plates hidden by other teams. He was extremely fast, and with the accurate positioning of the sensor, it was no problem for him to collect the number plates of one or two teams in half an hour. Once he got the items, he would turn back.
The reason why I keep my time outside within half an hour each time is to avoid arousing suspicion. It looked like he was worried about the safety of his teammates, but was unwilling to give up the game, so he took this gamble.
During this period, he made a total of seven trips and obtained a total of 52 number plates, equivalent to 260 points. It took almost four hours, and it was fine that no one noticed him. After all, he had shown extremely sharp senses before and was able to detect other teams in advance. Moreover, he was alone, and with his super skills, it was not a problem for him to dodge. But even his teammates were doing fine, and even if a team passed by the door, they would ignore that room. If this happened to someone else, it would inevitably arouse suspicion, but it was different for him because his luck was obvious to all.
Among the number plates Jing Ling collected, nine of them were found at the bottom of a flower pot in the corner of the comprehensive area. Needless to say, this is Team Luna’s stuff. But he didn't know who the owner of the thing was, and the owner didn't know who took the thing.
The planned confrontation between the Moon Goddess Team and the Azure Dragon Team began and ended quickly without their knowledge. Needless to say, they failed.
When Jing Ling returned to the suite with the number tag, Xu Shaohuai and the others were looking at the newly updated points ranking. Their team is still first, not only in the superficial ranking, but also in the actual total points, because they already have seventy-one number plates in their hands, and he doesn't believe that other teams can have more than them. The total points converted from all the number plates is 355, and the team’s total points have exceeded 700!
"If everything goes smoothly next time, we will definitely get first place." Xu Shaohuai leaned back on the bed with a pillow behind his back. Seeing Jing Ling coming back, he said jokingly, "The first prize is 50 million universal coins and the right to use hot weapons. We have just discussed it. You have contributed the most during this period, so you will take 40 million, and the rest will be divided among us."
Forty million common currencies, calculated at the current exchange rate, is equivalent to two hundred million domestic currencies! In addition, Jing Ling bet on his team to win in every game, so the money he could take away in the end would definitely be more than 300 million!
Buying lottery tickets is nothing, this is the real way to get rich overnight!
Even with the terrible death rate, there are still people who continue to participate in the game. There is a reason for this. After all, if you go to the hunting grounds once, you may get enough money to spend for a lifetime!
They imagined the future in advance, and Jing Ling smiled and replied, "Then I, a poor man, would like to thank all the local tycoons for their help!"
The atmosphere was unusually relaxed.
After a brief chat, the group took a break. Just like last night, Bai Ningxi shared a room with the two injured patients, Yang Xinyao slept next to them, and Jing Ling kept watch with his back against the wall. It's not that he doesn't rest at all, he's just gotten used to it. Even when he's sleeping, he still remains alert to his surroundings and will wake up instantly if there's any movement.
This night was not as peaceful as last night. It was around 5:30 in the morning when light footsteps were heard in the corridor. Jing Ling woke up when he noticed the movement. The door of the room opened a crack silently, and he stuck his head out to check the situation outside. Unexpectedly, the horror movie-like scene happened again. The lights in the corridor began to flicker, maintaining a rhythm of one cycle every four seconds.
Two people were seen walking down the corridor. Just as Jing Ling guessed, both of them were injured, so their footsteps sounded a bit weak and messy. After they walked for a while, they suddenly stopped at the door of a room, carefully pushed the door open and went in.
Jing Ling leaned against the door frame and thought about it, then decided to raise it a few more times.
So the next morning when Bai Ningxi woke up, she went to the bathroom in the next room to check the mobile points as usual, and found two more people who were in a coma. The other five people who were awake stared at him, with a mixture of fear and murderous intent in their eyes.
He was stunned for a moment, and then after giving injections to the two extra people, he closed the door and went back to the next room.
Jing Ling was sitting cross-legged on the sofa eating an apple.
"Did you catch those two people last night?" Bai Ningxi asked.
Jing Ling took the last bite of the fruit flesh, threw the core into the trash can in the corner, and nodded, "Yeah. They were both injured and just happened to be coming this way, so I went over and knocked them out and dragged them over."
The idea of accumulating points has never existed before. Strong teams don't need to do so, and weak teams can't do it. So much so that when Xu Shaohuai was calculating the points last night, he subconsciously ignored this item. The original five people plus these two scored a total of 140 points, and their team’s final score soared directly to 800 points!
As long as they are alive, first place will definitely be theirs!
