Chapter 1140 Sock Robbery

In a single round, Happy's results were extremely outstanding. However, currently on the overall leaderboard, having only completed one round of tasks, their data wasn't very noticeable yet and hadn't been noticed by the players. Apart from Lord Grim and Steamed Bun Invasion, the two actually got a grand slam, and each received the grand slam reward: two orange equipment pieces that made people drool were directly announced on the world channel, making it impossible for people not to pay attention.

The major guilds were so depressed!

Looking at their current results, the team's 31 pairs was still the best score and hadn't been broken. This result meant they averaged grabbing 10 pairs in each round of activities, reaching half the possible amount. But now, Lord Grim made a move and directly swept away 20 pairs in one go, doubling their score. It really made people gnash their teeth.

But even so, what could they do? They couldn't get the alliance going, and even if they did, because of the randomness of the tasks, there might be many uncontrollable variables. There was no way to directly target them.

The major guilds were filled with sorrow! Ye Xiu and the others had already started another round. Because they knew there was a reward for a grand slam, and it seemed like a very good reward, then it was necessary to pursue this achievement.

However, Happy didn't adjust its team composition because of this. Five-person teams were still five, two-person teams were still two, and the other three were still solo. Doing this still prioritized getting more socks, because getting a grand slam wasn't that easy.

Each character's three activity opportunities were quickly used up.

A grand slam really wasn't that easy to get. At least Tang Rou, Wu Chen, and Mo Fan tried their best but couldn't get a grand slam. There were no helpers in the individual competition, and everything had to rely on oneself. So when all 20 pairs of socks were picked up and scattered in many people's hands, and the system started counting down, it was indeed a bit difficult.

The only reliable method was to discard a pair of socks oneself to buy more time to search for more socks. But if one really wanted to get a grand slam by relying on this method, one might fall into a dead loop. In the end, it was still because one was alone and had pitifully limited information. Because they couldn't grasp the movements of more players, they couldn't efficiently complete the plunder of socks. Without efficiency, then in the later stages, it was likely to be just a sock gift package, so it was better to end this round quickly.

On the other hand, Wei Chen's team also got a grand slam in the subsequent two rounds of activities. Wei Chen basically copied Ye Xiu's ideas without any embarrassment. So, with some luck, they successfully swept the entire field of 20 pairs of socks in the second round.

The reward for the grand slam really didn't disappoint. Each of the five people got an orange equipment piece, all of which were top-grade items no less than the Star of Extinction and Rift of Destruction.

However, they weren't so lucky in the subsequent third round. In the end, they finished this round with 17 pairs of socks, which was one pair less than the first round.

As for Ye Xiu and Steamed Bun, they didn't have much luck in the subsequent two rounds of tasks, respectively grabbing 15 and 16 pairs of socks.

It should be said that they had some luck in the first grand slam. Take the team that Steamed Bun was tailing at the time, for example. In the end, they boldly concentrated all the socks in one person's hands to gamble, resulting in Steamed Bun wiping them out in one go. If they had distributed the socks to each person at the time, no matter how capable Steamed Bun was, he wouldn't have been able to take care of all five people hiding separately.

The tactic designed by Ye Xiu wasn't meant to get such an extreme grand slam. They first guided the overall situation, then seized the opportunity, made a move later, and made a wave of explosive grabs of enough socks. While becoming the early bird, they also directly entered the end of this round. This was Ye Xiu's original intention. Being able to enter the end with a grand slam was an unexpected surprise and not something that could be sought.

So after these three rounds of activities were all done, Happy couldn't help but attract attention. Whether it was the team or individual, their results were far ahead.

On the team side, as these activities continued, the original leading score of 31 pairs was refreshed to 33 pairs. They improved, but they were no longer the leaders. The leader was Wei Chen's team. The 55 pairs of socks in three rounds made the original leading and enviable score of 33 pairs seem especially small, not to mention the 51 pairs of socks of Lord Grim and Steamed Bun Invasion after them.

In terms of total number, Wei Chen's team had the highest, but their team, like other leading teams, was a five-person team. So, their total number was the highest, but in terms of per capita, they were far inferior to Lord Grim and Steamed Bun Invasion.

Because of this two-person combination rushing to the top of the leaderboard, players noticed that there was also a per capita ranking on the leaderboard. So, after this was pointed out, they immediately discovered that there was another team ranked above Happy's Wind Following Array team in the per capita ranking.

On the per capita ranking, Lord Grim and Steamed Bun Invasion's team had an average of 25.5 pairs, which made people jealous.

And the Wind Following Array team had an average of 11 pairs, currently ranked third on the average list.

So in the second position, players found a small team, but it was also a two-person team, with an average of 15 pairs of socks, meaning they had currently grabbed 30 pairs of socks. The score of 30 pairs was also very high on the team's total list, but it was indeed relatively mediocre, no wonder no one noticed.

The two characters in this two-person team were named Mo Gan Hui Shou (Dare to Recall Hands) and Shui Bu Di Tou (Who Doesn't Lower Their Head). Judging from the displayed character classes, the two characters had the same class, and they were both Gunners.

Because of Zhou Zekai's soaring popularity in recent years and his victory in the finals last season, the Gunner in Glory Online also became the most popular class. According to official data, in just one week after Samsara won the championship, more than 50,000 new characters who transferred to Gunners in Glory's ten ordinary servers.

Whether these 50,000+ characters were impulse alts or something else was unknown. In short, such a grand occasion was unprecedented, which made the game company couldn't help but announce it to show off the data.

The influence of the professional circle on Glory Online could be seen from this, but the impact on the professional circle itself because of this situation couldn't be seen in the short term. In the long run, the larger base of Gunner players would inevitably lead to a relatively larger number of Gunner experts. However, as a professional team, one still had to pay attention to the matching and rationality of the classes. It was impossible to force a Gunner class into one's team just because there were many outstanding Gunner players. So in the end, there were many experts, but there were limited positions, which would inevitably lead to more intense competition. In this competition, many outstanding players would unfortunately not be able to occupy a place. But in terms of the good aspects, then those who remained would inevitably be more outstanding.

Right now, this Mo Gan Hui Shou and Shui Bu Di Tou, no one knew where they came from, and no one knew if they were new talents who emerged under the influence of Zhou Zekai. But a two-person team with 30 pairs of socks was quite a bit worse than Ye Xiu and Bao Zi, but it was quite outstanding compared to other players.

One had to know that the vast majority of teams were five-person teams. A two-person team maneuvering among them was probably the most difficult way to participate in this event. Everyone fought their own battles in the individual competition, or five-person teams against five-person teams, so at least the strength was balanced in terms of numbers. But two people against five people, this was undoubtedly the largest difference in numbers that could be created in this event.

As a result, even with the most difficult method, these two people got 30 pairs of socks, an average of 15 pairs per person. There was no need to compare it with the average score of the team, and they could even compare it with the individual competition.

In the individual competition, Tang Rou had 27 pairs, while Mo Fan and Wu Chen both had 32 pairs, looking down on the rear from afar. What about the players behind them? The data for the highest score was still 16 pairs.

And this score was only one pair more than Mo Gan Hui Shou and Shui Bu Di Tou.

These two people used the most difficult method and got a score of 15 pairs. If they were to participate in the individual competition, they would probably also be existences that looked down on the vast majority of players.

"Who are these two guys..." After looking at the average leaderboard, Wei Chen also became curious about these two guys who were riding on top of their team.

"Two Gunners..." After Ye Xiu looked at the two's classes, he was obviously thinking about it.

"Do you think they could be professional players?" Wei Chen said.

"If they're professional players, which team has two Gunners?" Ye Xiu said.

"Samsara?" Wei Chen blurted out. It really wasn't in vain that he went undercover in the Samsara guild. He became particularly familiar with the situation of the Samsara team, otherwise how could he pretend to be a Samsara fan?

"You mean, one of them is Zhou Zekai?" Ye Xiu said.

"Uh..." Wei Chen didn't say anything. How could Zhou Zekai have the nerve to only get 30 pairs of socks? After winning the championship, he was completely crowned as the current Glory's number one expert.

"Tiny Herb also has two Gunners." At this time, Qiao Yifan stood up and provided some information for the discussion on Ye Xiu's side.

"Uh... I think they shouldn't be professional players," Ye Xiu said. To say that Zhou Zekai was the number one expert, it wasn't enough for him to get 30 pairs of socks! But he didn't just trample on other professional players. It wasn't enough for him to get 30 pairs of socks, so was it just right for other professional players to get 30 pairs of socks? Didn't you see that Ye Xiu and Steamed Bun's combination had crazily plundered 51 pairs of socks? Although there was no lack of luck, Ye Xiu had now basically understood this task. According to his judgment, it was more reasonable for professional-level players to get more than 40 pairs in three rounds when competing with these ordinary players. More for those who were lucky, and less for those who were unlucky. In terms of strength, who from the professional circle wasn't overwhelmingly powerful when facing these ordinary players? There was no need for the causal relationship that Zhou Zekai was definitely particularly powerful because he was the number one expert.

The causal relationship used here should be: Because the opponents are too weak, everyone is particularly powerful.

"Not professional players... then who could they be?" Wei Chen said.

"See if you can add them as friends and contact them," Ye Xiu said.

"You want to..." Wei Chen had also thought of it. If they weren't professional players, then they were of course folk experts. If they understood them in depth, maybe they were a rising star who could become a professional player, and now there were two of them at once.
