Chapter 17 Some Small Updates to the Killing Game System

Along with the announcement of the Door Grabbing War came some small updates to the Killing Game system.

For example, the opening of three leaderboards: Individual Combat Strength, Scenario Guide, and Guild Power.

Individual Combat Strength is self-explanatory.

The Killing Game will rank the top 100 players in global individual combat strength based on existing data. The list changes in real time, and players on the list can choose to display or hide their nicknames and guilds.

The Scenario Guide leaderboard ranks players based on their performance in past scenario mission guides.

The Guild Power leaderboard ranks guilds based on their size, combat strength, and other data.

These three leaderboards will be refreshed in real time. Players can go to the center of the game plaza to watch them on the big screen.

Those customers who just left the Immaculate Forge were going to see the leaderboards.

"Combat strength ranking..."

Li Ang raised an eyebrow.

After so many missions, he had seen many players, but he was still somewhat unclear about his own strength and the level he was at.

He wasn't sure which echelon he would rank in among all the players.

Now that the combat strength leaderboard was out, he could go and take a look.

Li Ang turned off the computer screen, strode out of the Immaculate Forge, and walked with the crowd toward the center of the plaza.

At this time, many people had gathered in the plaza.

Everyone stood in a circle around the plaza garden, looking up and watching four screens slowly descend from the high altitude, hovering above the garden.

Buzz—

The four giant screens emitted a long tremor, turning from black to white.

According to the Killing Game's update instructions, the content displayed on these four screens is not fixed, but will present the information that each player wants to browse individually.

Players can browse mall products or check housing information.

The content that each player sees is different.

Of course, since it was just updated, most people were still browsing the three leaderboards.

Li Ang clicked on his personal panel, selected to browse the leaderboards, and three simple, old, slightly yellowed vertical sheets immediately appeared on the big screen.

All leaderboards initially default to anonymous status. At first glance, they were all gray "noname."

But soon, the leaderboards began to refresh.

The first place in the Individual Combat Strength leaderboard had already appeared.

[Lv25] [Saint Hong·Michael], with the suffix of Global Supernatural Alliance.

There was a small exclamation in the plaza.

The bowl-cut-haired passerby standing next to Li Ang exclaimed in a low voice, "As expected, it's him! That player who ranked first in the Sky Arena!"

Another slicked-back-hair passerby nodded and said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect him to reach level 25 so quickly... How long has it been? Are there double or quadruple experience cards here? Does he get S+ rating in every mission?"

Li Ang glanced at these two passersby. He himself was basically all S+, and he was only Lv18.

Based on this estimate, this Michael should be one of the earliest players, leading him by several months.

The information of the player ranked second was [Lv23] [Out of Control], with the suffix of Syndicate.

"Wait, who is this person?"

The bowl-cut-haired passerby asked in confusion, "I've never even heard of him. How can he rank second on the combat strength leaderboard?"

"Just because you haven't heard of him doesn't mean he doesn't exist."

The slicked-back-hair passerby shook his head and said, "Syndicate is a secret organization comparable to urban legends. It is said that it existed before this Killing Game.

"It is said that many events have their shadows behind them.

"For example, the collapse of Barings Bank at the end of the last century, the strange Twenty-One Faces incident in Japan, the Candle Cove incident of man-made urban legends, etc.

"No one knows their purpose or their code of conduct.

"All that is known is that they are good at using the chain reactions caused by small people to create big events, while hiding themselves behind the scenes."

Who are you, big brother?

How do you know so much?

The surrounding people turned their heads and looked at this slicked-back-hair passerby.

The latter smiled confidently, took out a yellow smiley face badge from his pocket, and pinned it on his chest.

A member of the Watchers Society? No wonder.

The passersby turned their heads and continued to browse the screen.

The slicked-back-hair Watcher rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, "This Out of Control player doesn't have a title in front of his nickname.

"It's impossible for a level 23 player not to have activated it. Either he has personality, is maverick, and deliberately doesn't hang a title,

"Or, it is because the title name will directly reveal its effect, so it must be hidden to prevent exposure."

"Awesome, bro."

The bowl-cut-haired passerby complimented his companion, who waved his hand modestly, but the expression on his face was very smug.

The players ranked third and fourth on the leaderboard all hid their personal information.

The fifth place also did not hang a nickname.

His name was [Lv23] [Side of Truth], with the suffix of Demon Science Alliance.

Li Ang had also heard of his name. It seemed that he was the creator of the Demon Science Alliance.

But he had never seen the real person.

Considering the overall style of the Demon Science Alliance, this [Side of Truth] should be a thin, pale-skinned player with a slightly crazy expression, right?

Most of the players from the first to the thirtieth who chose to display their nicknames had the names of organizations such as the Special Affairs Bureau, the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Special Accident Division, the Global Supernatural Alliance, and Whale Song.

As for Li Ang himself...

"I'm actually ranked fifty-sixth in individual combat strength?"

Li Ang raised an eyebrow. He didn't choose to display his nickname.

Others saw the fifty-sixth place on the leaderboard as gray, but he himself saw it as gold.

His current level was only Lv18, and he still had three free attribute points that he hadn't added.

Moreover, a large part of his individual combat strength was the Zerg Swarm in the pet cage.

If external factors were taken into account, he should be able to advance a few more places.

It seemed that the gap between him and the players in front was not very big.

As for the Scenario Guide leaderboard, Li Ang was even higher, ranking ninth—this leaderboard was very different from the Individual Combat Strength leaderboard. It seemed that it was mainly set up for players who were good at solving puzzles and reasoning.

Li Ang estimated that if he was given a few more months and brushed up on more scenario missions, he might be able to climb higher on this leaderboard.

As for the final Guild Power leaderboard, there was nothing to see.

The Global Supernatural Alliance, which had the name, was first, followed by official organizations, folk organizations, and folk guilds in various regions.

It was worth noting that Syndicate was ranked eleventh, even surpassing some official organizations.

And the withered but not stiff Centipede, was in twenty-third place, second only to Whale Song.

Carefully calculated, Li Ang robbed a batch of goods from Centipede, killed several high-level members, and thwarted the other party's millennium-long plan.

He was definitely a thorn in Centipede's side and a thorn in their flesh.

However, for so long, the other party didn't seem to have any intention of seeking revenge.

He didn't know if it was because he hid too well, so that Centipede couldn't find his displayed identity,

Or if Centipede had no plans to retaliate.
