Chapter 20 Killing Intent [Random Answer] *1 Redeemed
That's two thousand.
Faced with such a huge amount of merit points, Chu Jue's first reaction was to pocket them, but the designer had completely anticipated her thoughts, and the barrage of reminders suppressed her impulse to act.
Designer: [If no "murderous intent" was detected in the target data's emotion, the judgment is incorrect, and merit points are invalid.]
Designer: [[Random Answer]*1 has been redeemed]
...What kind of thing is this that only records merit points as hers after the other party has murderous intent towards her?
Does this mean that if two thousand people have no intention of killing her, then two thousand becomes zero?
What's the difference between this and waving two thousand in front of her but not letting her kill it?
That's cruel.
Chu felt a lump in his throat, feeling suffocated by the system's rules while comforting himself: thankfully, the designer popped up a reminder in time.
Otherwise, two thousand would really be reduced to zero.
It would be easy for him to develop murderous intent towards her; he'd just have to wait.
Chu Jue calmed down. He temporarily put aside the impulse to succumb to temptation and seriously considered the reasons why the temptation arose.
When the merit points were first displayed, the average value above those people's heads was around twenty. Even the group of Lunar Eclipse members that were killed later only had an average value of thirty or forty.
Until today, I met the male leader of the War Axe Group—the 330 on his head was already quite eye-catching.
Based on the previously observed method of increasing merit points, Chu Jue deduced that the more people one killed, the more merit points one would accumulate, and only those with higher strength could kill more people.
But Chu Jue still remembered that when the members of Group 111 were explaining things to him before, they mentioned that "the leader of the Gongrong Group is not as strong as the leader of the Zhanji Group"...
So, what exactly did the male leader of the Co-Prosperity Sphere do to have a score of nearly two thousand?
Could it be that he was hiding his true strength, or that he had killed even more people?
Of the two organizations, the Prosperity Sphere actually committed more killings?
A mix of doubts and regrets weighed heavily on Chu Ju's mind. She stared at the bold characters above the male team leader's head, and because of Xin Chu, whom she could see but not touch, she had no desire to respond.
This added a touch of embarrassment to the male team leader's usually mild-mannered face.
During the thirty seconds he was left hanging, Yun Qiandu didn't know whether he was embarrassed by being ignored or felt his scalp tingle from being stared at by Chu Jue.
Ying Suixin blended in as if she were one of them, and whispered to Jiang Tianjiao, who seemed easier to get along with, "I knew the boss didn't like hair."
"Ahem." The male team leader pretended not to hear Ying Suixin's mutterings.
"If you have any concerns, please speak up and we can try to resolve them. The Co-Prosperity Sphere sincerely invites you to join..."
He was followed by several members of the same organization, one of whom echoed:
"Hey sis, our group has a great atmosphere and great benefits, you should consider it!"
Another male member added, "Yeah, the team leader rarely invites people."
Chu Jue turned his gaze to the man who had spoken, and after glancing over it, confirmed that the merit system's judgment had not shown any abnormalities.
Apart from the male group leader's ridiculously high score, the scores of the other men remained at the previous average.
The female member's head is not displayed with merit points; this is a feature added by the designers in an update. It will automatically disappear when the merit points reach 0.
Chu Jue hadn't paid much attention to this before, but upon closer reflection, she realized that after the numerical visualization function was unlocked, all the people she had seen with numerical values above their heads were men.
She hadn't met many women to begin with, and when she first unlocked the feature, she didn't detect any numbers above the heads of the 111 group members. She thought it was a difference between some people having it and others not.
However, each man in the Lunar Eclipse Group had a numerical value before he died, as did the War Halberd Group, but Ying Suixin of the War Halberd Group did not have a numerical value.
Currently, the male leader and male members of the Co-prosperity Group have numerical values, but the female members do not.
Merit points are actually exclusive to men?
Chu Jue remained silent, absorbed in her calculations, while Yun Qiandu was already politely declining the offer from the Co-Prosperity Sphere on her behalf.
"Your organization also wanted to invite Chu Jue to join? We'll have to decline."
The male team leader was taken aback: "So, Miss Chu Jue already has an organization?"
Yun Qiandu choked for a moment: "...She hasn't yet."
After speaking, she secretly glanced at Chu Jue's reaction, observing whether she had any intention of joining.
Fortunately, Chu Jue's expression remained unchanged, which put Yun Qiandu at ease. Although the Co-Prosperity Sphere was enjoying great prestige, she still felt that she was not suitable for Chu Jue.
Chu Jue is perfect in every way. Not to mention the Co-Prosperity Sphere, even the Central District is completely unworthy of her.
Although Chu Jue was quite interested in the two thousand, his stance was clear: "Well, I don't plan to join the organization for the time being."
"That's a real shame." The male team leader looked somewhat disappointed, which seemed contrived to Yun Qiandu.
"If it's convenient, could I add Miss Chu Jue's contact information?"
"There will be a spiritual energy exchange meeting organized by the central district soon, and only organizations that receive an invitation can participate. If Miss Chu Jue is interested, the spot in the Co-prosperity Group will be yours—even if you don't join the organization, you can still be friends."
"Uh." Yun Qiandu calculated the time. What the male group leader said was indeed true. However, although their Group 111 was a reincarnation group, it was still a new group with insufficient overall strength and had not received an invitation...
She stared longingly at Chu Jue.
The exchange meeting is a rare opportunity to rapidly improve one's spiritual power. Given the influence of the central district, the winners each year receive substantial rewards... It would indeed be a pity if Chu Jue missed it.
Chu Jue didn't agree immediately, but first looked at Ying Suixin: "Has the War Halberd Group received an invitation?"
"Huh?" Ying Suixin scratched his bald head. "I don't know."
Yun Qiandu: "Don't you guys share information?"
Ying Suixin: "I don't know, I'm not from the War Axe Group either."
How many people: ?
Yun Qiandu: "Didn't you previously lead the charge to make Chu Jue the new leader of the War Halberd?"
Ying Suixin suddenly realized: "Oh, that's right, I'm not a member of the War Axe Group, I just came here from the forum to watch the fun."
"Back then, I just saw that the atmosphere was good and started to cheer them on."
Several people: ...
OK.
"The War Axe Group has received it," the male group leader said casually, trying to smooth things over, "but the War Axe Group has already..."
You wiped out our group.
Chu Jue: "I will go there on behalf of the War Halberd Group."
The male team leader was stunned: "If there's only one person, it might be judged as insufficient numbers."
Upon hearing this, Ying Suixin quickly replied, "Then I'm a member of the War Axe Group now too."
Group 111 members: "Me too."
There are at least six people now. Although it's a small number, it's still a number of people.
If you really want to count, adding two more dogs wouldn't be a problem.
The male team leader was speechless.
Chu Jue rejected him very quickly, not only refusing to join the organization, but also not even giving him a chance to contact them.
Since becoming the leader of the Co-Prosperity Sphere, he hadn't been turned away like this in a long time.
But his expression remained gentle, and he spoke softly and gently as he had at the beginning: "In that case, Miss Chu Jue..."
Chu Jue interrupted him: "Just call me Chu Jue."
We're not close enough for me to call her "sister."
"Okay, Chu Jue." The male team leader smiled. "Looking forward to seeing you again."
Chu Jue's gaze returned to the top of his head: "I'm looking forward to it too."
I wonder if I'll be able to harvest it next time we meet?
The male team leader left safely with his followers, and Yun Qiandu couldn't help but lean in and say something bad about him: "Don't be fooled by his face, he definitely has ill intentions..."
Chu Jue: "It's a long story."
But it should be difficult to be fooled.
The surrounding crowd was either dead or scattered, and now only the six members and two dogs of the new War Axe Group remained.
Yun Qiandu rested his hand on his chin, as if deep in thought: "Now that we are part of Zhanji, does that mean that Zhanji's resources are also ours?"
Ying Yi was also deep in thought: "Do we really want to join War Halberd?"
“The current Zhanji is not the same as the Zhanji of the past.” Yun Qiandu shook his head. “It is one of the squads in our Group 111, the Zhanji Squad.”
After she finished speaking, she realized that Chu Jue had not actually agreed to join their Group 111. It was just that the group had been getting along well recently, which made her subconsciously consider Chu Jue as one of her own... Fortunately, the current leader of the Zhanji Group did not feel offended and did not refute this statement.
Chu Jue: "It's just for the invitation."
She still hasn't changed her mind about not wanting to join the organization, even though she is the leader of the organization.
Moreover, the number of members is easy to count.
"Speaking of invitations..." First of all, they didn't receive any invitations either, did they?
"Base resources? All their living people are dead, and we can't get in through the gates."
"I should have left a few survivors to lead the way and harvest the spoils..."
"It's alright, we won't miss too much. Just like we don't leave resources in our base, the Warsp Group won't leave anything either, so the loss won't be significant."
"Touch these things you carry with you..."
The group chatted amongst themselves, expressing their concern about their inability to help Chu Jue seize resources.
Then they started their old method of looting corpses again, with Chu Jue leading them to search through the corpses with high merit values and the quantum computers they carried.
The male leader of the War Halberd Group had a relatively private personal computer. Fortunately, he had previously shared information about the spiritual energy exchange meeting with his team members. Chu Jue managed to retrieve the invitation information from it and bind it to his own information.
The organizers probably didn't expect that a well-known organization would be wiped out so quickly after receiving the invitation. Chu Jue's information as "group leader" was entered smoothly.
After working all day without eating, the group decided to return to their base and make further plans.
"Wow, this is amazing, it feels so unreal." Yun Qiandu was still marveling on the way. "Chu Jue is just too powerful. One of the two major organizations was wiped out just like that."
"It's a pity that the male leader of the Lunar Eclipse Group didn't come, otherwise we would have taken care of him too."
Ying Yi nodded: "I didn't see him today."
"He seemed to have been bumping the thread on the forum, saying he was coming, but he didn't show up."
Jiang Tianjiao revealed the truth: "Did they see that things weren't going well, so they turned around and ran away?"
Like her younger brother, she would tuck her tail between her legs and run to the safe zone whenever she saw someone she couldn't beat, showing an extreme fear of death.
The scene just now greatly shocked Jiang Tianjiao; it was the first time she had ever seen such a grand spectacle.
However, her perception of Chu Jue's strength was always high, never low. The moment Chu Jue appeared before her with Fang Zhiyi, she already regarded Chu Jue as the most powerful person in the world.
To her, the most powerful person in the world makes little difference whether they kill two people at once or two hundred people at once.
...Okay, there is still a slight difference; the impact of a mountain of corpses is much stronger.
Jiang Tianjiao couldn't help but look at Chu Jue, her eyes filled with obvious admiration and envy.
She longed to become a powerful spiritualist like Chu Jue; Chu Jue was an unattainable goal for her.
But right now, she's not even a Spirit Master.
Jiang Jingshu noticed her dejection, took her hand from beside her, and whispered to her:
"Look, I have become a spiritualist, and so will you."
"Yes." Jiang Tianjiao nodded vigorously. "I can do it too."
Ying Suixin didn't eavesdrop on purpose, but she was too close and was overheard.
She used her social skills to introduce herself to the others, but then didn't say much, essentially just existing as if she were invisible.
But she found the atmosphere among these people to be quite good, unlike the various organizations she had observed before, which all had obvious class distinctions... She didn't like that kind of environment, so she never joined any organization.
Although he had just jokingly acknowledged Chu Jue as his boss, Ying Suixin was now more curious about the organization.
She knew the quiet woman next to her was named Jiang Jingshu, and that she was Jiang Tianjiao's sister. She took the opportunity to ask, "What is our organization actually called?"
It's not that the War Axe Group suddenly became what it is today, but rather its original, official name.
Jiang Jingshu paused for a second, her expression somewhat complicated: "The name is... Group 1."
Follow your heart: ...
It seems that her name alone was destined for her to join this organization.
"Hmm. That's such a coincidence..."
-
Yun Qiandu opened the forum, intending to check the whereabouts of the leader of the Lunar Eclipse Group, only to find that the previous bounty post had become incredibly popular again.
As expected of Chu Jue, she is simply a woman destined to bring bloodshed.
She didn't need to guess to know how exciting the post would be; it would likely revolve around the discussion of Chu Jue's power and the fall of the male leader of the Battle Halberd Group.
In her opinion, the former is clearly more interesting to talk about, while as for the latter, if you want to reminisce, you can just start your own thread to do so.
Yun Qiandu excitedly opened the discussion thread, already planning to eat lunch while reading about it.
This should be a forum post worthy of being a lighthearted, exciting story. Who agrees and who disagrees?
But to Yun Qiandu's surprise, what she imagined did exist, but what occupied a larger portion was layers of moral accusations, interspersed with biased suspicions, even reaching the level of slander—
This makes me want to eat even more, Yun Qiandu thought.
The male character's defenses are broken to allow the flavor to penetrate; this is something to be savored properly.
