Chapter 190 Ranking

The players continued to hurry and complete their tasks. Most players paid attention to these leaderboards, but what they saw in their eyes was three parts envy, three parts jealousy, and three parts bitterness.

Whether it was character or skill, the players didn't really care too much about those on the leaderboard. What they knew was that the Christmas gifts received by the players on this list would definitely be more generous than theirs. This result was what everyone cared about most.

And after that, these players, who were already a cut above the rest in terms of strength or luck, received even more generous gifts, making them even stronger and luckier. It was truly frustrating to think about.

The players on the leaderboard were counting their rankings, trying even harder to maintain them. And in this process, strength would gradually become a more reliable guarantee.

Players who relied on luck to find and kill Christmas thieves to get on the list during this period couldn't always maintain such good fortune. In such a long-term activity, only the players' true strength could steadily exist in the end.

Being able to chase and kill Christmas thieves in the City of Sin was undoubtedly a kind of strength, and a very strong one in the new server. Tang Rou continued to work hard, and her ranking on the list finally began to advance continuously.

Some players who relied on luck to find Christmas thieves one after another gradually fell behind when their luck ran out, surpassed by players like Tang Rou who relied on their strength to fight in the City of Sin and consistently gained stable rewards.

774…

767…

751…

749…

The ranking was based on points, and the points were not just a number. The Christmas thieves Tang Rou killed were converted into different points based on their levels, so each time she killed one, her ranking improved by several or even dozens of places. In this way, step by step, Tang Rou became more and more motivated, her left hand on the keyboard, her right hand on the mouse, her eyes fixed on the screen, unwilling to move away for even a second. Her world was completely focused on the leaderboard in the game.

Leaderboards sometimes have this inexplicable attraction.

Another one!

Tang Rou was getting more and more used to the drizzly weather in the City of Sin, and more and more adapted to judging targets in this somewhat blurred vision. In the distant rain and mist, a not-so-clear figure, Tang Rou had already identified as a Christmas thief at a glance, and immediately directed Hanyan Rou to rush up quickly.

At the same time, at the other end of the street, a figure flashed out, striding towards the Christmas thief. While running, a lightsaber was dragged by his side, and in the misty rain, the shining lightsaber was extremely easy to recognize.

Tang Rou had already seen it at a glance, so how could she not know this person's intentions? She had been wandering around the City of Sin for so long, and she had encountered other players, but this was the first time that two people had set their sights on the same target.

Tang Rou certainly wouldn't back down, and chose the shortest and most direct route to rush towards the Christmas thief. Originally, she needed to avoid a resident of the City of Sin, but at this time, she couldn't care so much.

The residents of the City of Sin naturally wouldn't be polite to Tang Rou at this time. As soon as Hanyan Rou's figure swept past his territory, this resident shot out a fierce light, followed by pulling out a knife and pouncing on her.

The opposing swordsman player was also staring at the Battle Mage here. At this time, most of those who hung around in the City of Sin were Glory veterans. In terms of experience, they were stronger than Tang Rou. From the distance between the two characters and the Christmas thief, the swordsman had already judged that he was going to be a step faster. Feeling that he had a chance of winning, he was even more delighted to see the Battle Mage being disturbed by the leveling monsters, feeling that this Christmas thief was bound to escape from his grasp.

The resident pounced closer, but Tang Rou didn't panic at all. With a flick of her right wrist, Hanyan Rou's Sky Strike had already swept diagonally. The resident who had pounced close was just right to be picked up and flew into the air diagonally. Hanyan Rou then moved a step sideways, and with a "boom", a Falling Flower Palm had already been blasted out. The layer of energy pushed out by the palm scattered even the falling drizzle, creating a ripple in the rain and mist, looking even more domineering.

"Not good!" When the swordsman saw the direction in which this palm was pushed, he was already anxious. He didn't expect that this Battle Mage would benefit from the rushing leveling monster. Originally, if the two were running a race, the Battle Mage would be a bit slower, but now, with a Falling Flower Palm, the resident flew straight out, and as the swordsman expected, he accurately hit the Christmas thief.

Of course, such an attack was also counted. The Christmas thief immediately reacted nimbly, got up, and rushed towards Hanyan Rou. The swordsman watched helplessly, and could only curse "Damn it" helplessly.

At this time, the two were close to each other, and Tang Rou also heard the player's curse, but she didn't care too much. In online games, such foul language was mostly just a verbal exclamation to vent emotions. If you win against someone, you shouldn't allow them to be depressed, that would be too inappropriate.

Tang Rou ignored this person and manipulated her Hanyan Rou to step forward. The Christmas thief and the resident monster also rushed towards her at the same time.

Fighting two enemies alone, Tang Rou was not afraid at all. She had killed many Christmas thieves and residents in the City of Sin for so long, and she already understood their strength. Tang Rou didn't think it was difficult to fight two, so she dared to not avoid the resident in order to grab the Christmas thief, and even took advantage of the resident to grab the Christmas thief first.

This swordsman player was already prepared to leave. It was only at this time, after the two had taken another step closer, that the ID that was not very clear in the previous rain and mist was finally recognized by him.

Hanyan Rou.

As soon as he saw this ID, the swordsman player, who was already prepared to leave, suddenly stopped.

Holding his sword and standing aside, the swordsman player silently watched Hanyan Rou fight monsters for a while.

Level 31.

The swordsman searched for the ID and confirmed Hanyan Rou's level. This was more than six levels lower than the City of Sin, and she seemed to be able to handle two enemies with ease. The swordsman had to admit Hanyan Rou's strength, as expected of a member of Jun Mo Xiao's dungeon team. Without some strength, how could they have created such a strong record?

The swordsman secretly pondered for a while, and then left without making a sound.

Tang Rou was initially careful when she saw that person staring at her to fight monsters. Killing people and stealing monsters was something that could be thought of without being proficient in online games.

However, after seeing this person staring for a while and then leaving, Tang Rou felt relieved. On second thought, she guessed that this person wanted to see if she could deal with a Christmas thief and a leveling monster. If she was killed by these two monsters together, then he could unceremoniously pick up her wallet. As a result, after watching for a while, he found that there was no possibility of this happening, so he naturally left. This kind of thought was not noble, but at least it was much better than directly killing people.

Tang Rou was indeed relaxed dealing with the two monsters, and even had the leisure to think wildly for a while. After clearing her mind, Tang Rou paid more attention to the left and right, she didn't want to accidentally attract more residents. However, after looking left and right, the nearest resident's aggro range was still some distance away from them, giving her enough space to easily eliminate these two monsters without paying too much attention.

Then she concentrated on manipulating Hanyan Rou to fight monsters, but she didn't expect that at this time, behind her, the swordsman who had circled around actually returned, and was running wildly. Behind him, were followed by a dozen or so residents of the City of Sin.

In the rain, footsteps could be concealed very lightly. But at this time, more than ten people were rushing over, and the "pa pa" sound of treading water could not be suppressed no matter what. Tang Rou gradually heard this sound, and when she saw that there was nothing unusual in front of her, she quickly took the time to look back, and saw a person leading a large group of residents running over.

Tang Rou smiled dumbly. This joke was encountering the same predicament as herself! Although she was very sympathetic, Tang Rou was powerless. If she was a Launcher, she could learn from Su Mucheng's methods to help someone, but as a Battle Mage, she herself was afraid of this.

In the blink of an eye, she saw that the person was approaching, and Tang Rou was suddenly stunned when she glanced over again unintentionally.

Sword Wind Soaring! (Jian Feng Suo Zhi)

Wasn't this ID the swordsman she had just seen? After just running around, he suddenly attracted so many monsters? This was not normal, right?

Even though Tang Rou's game experience was shallow, she realized that this was not good. Just as she became wary, this time, Sword Wind Soaring (Jian Feng Suo Zhi) was not polite at all, and his sword wind really waved towards Hanyan Rou.

The moves made by the lightsaber were still shining in the dim rain and mist.

A sword light, and the sword wind that was swung out also brought up flying rain, flying towards Hanyan Rou beautifully.

Beautiful, but not comfortable.

Tang Rou quickly dodged Hanyan Rou to the side. The Christmas thief and the resident continued to attack without being sensible. For a time, three parties attacked, but Tang Rou still dealt with it calmly.

The sword light waved again. Following a Draw Sword, Sword Wind Soaring (Jian Feng Suo Zhi) suddenly used a Triple Slash to approach. Tang Rou sneered, dodged to the side, and then threw out a Sky Strike.

Sword Wind Soaring (Jian Feng Suo Zhi) wanted to dodge, but was half a beat too late, and was hit by the Sky Strike. He didn't float high, but he was still lifted up. Tang Rou didn't hold back at all, and then blasted out a Falling Flower Palm.

Hit!

Sword Wind Soaring (Jian Feng Suo Zhi) couldn't avoid this attack, and firmly ate a Falling Flower Palm. His body in the air flew backwards, but Tang Rou suddenly cried out "Oops".

"Hahahaha, beauty, you really like to play this trick!"

Sword Wind Soaring (Jian Feng Suo Zhi), who was beaten away, didn't look like a loser at all, and smiled so comfortably at this time.

His body flew out and crashed into the residents of the City of Sin who were chasing behind him. And these residents were chasing in a团, and Sword Wind Soaring (Jian Feng Suo Zhi) had even painstakingly gathered the monsters before.

At this time, his crash was more thorough than Su Mucheng's Wind Following Smoke's laser cannon back then, and dozens of players were knocked down by him.

And this hatred was to be fully counted on Hanyan Rou's head.

In a solo activity, encountering a treacherous opponent, Tang Rou finally paid the price for her lack of experience.
