Hu Die Lan
Chapter 1116 Dominating the Leaderboard
Chun Yi Lao's focus returned to their group, the scheming guild leader group.
He wasn't one for chatting through messages, so after there wasn't any important information to exchange, he didn't pay much attention to the group messages.
The guild leader group had suddenly gone silent at some point. Looking back through the chat history, fewer and fewer guild leaders were speaking. Each one was as if they had encountered some urgent matter, suddenly leaving the chat discussion. Until the end, an unfinished topic was left hanging, as if someone had suddenly cut it off.
Impossible!
The abnormality in the group chat made Chun Yi Lao realize that the tragedy of having their Yangcheng (specially nurtured monsters) stolen wasn't unique to their Blue Brook Guild. What were these guild leaders who suddenly stopped chatting doing? Had they all received news that their guild's wild Bosses had been ambushed?
Could it all be the work of Team Happy?
The thought filled Chun Yi Lao with horror.
How could it be? So many of their guilds were searching for Yangcheng. Even though Kansas City was getting more attention, they hadn't relaxed their investigation of other main cities. Why? Why was Team Happy so efficient, able to find the Yangcheng in each main city so quickly?
"What intelligence do we have on Team Happy?" Chun Yi Lao couldn't help but turn and ask a subordinate.
"Team Happy? Intelligence?" The subordinate was stunned. "There's no intelligence."
"No intelligence?"
"We don't have the manpower. Everyone is busy searching for Yangcheng in the main cities!" the subordinate reported.
Chun Yi Lao was instantly stunned.
He suddenly realized what method Team Happy was using to find Yangcheng so efficiently.
A very simple method: send a message in the guild, asking everyone in the main city to keep an eye out for powerful monsters that were deliberately being nurtured.
Why hadn't the major guilds used such a simple method?
One word: slow.
Their rhythm was too slow. From Lord Grim suddenly jumping to the top of the rankings to getting the information, then a bunch of guild leaders pretending to be polite in the group chat, and then turning around to formulate their own plans, initially acting secretly, afraid of being noticed by others.
But what about reality? It was unnecessary! This kind of defense was too much. In that situation, which guild wouldn't want to snatch the Yangcheng? Was there any point in hiding it from each other?
The major guilds were just too worried. They wanted to take advantage of the situation, but they were also afraid of spending too much and not getting their money's worth. So they hoped to catch their opponents off guard, hoping for a one-hit kill, and not wanting to get into a war of attack and defense where everyone was prepared.
As a result, each guild was sneaking around, and in the end, they were sneaking around together, and their intentions were still fully exposed. Even at this point, they hadn't realized that they should just mobilize all their members to gather information directly in the guild. The news from Kansas City still made them excitedly chat together.
Ridiculous, it was really too ridiculous.
At this moment, Chun Yi Lao really laughed.
While they were still discussing what would happen in Kansas City in the group, Team Happy's full mobilization had been going on for who knows how long. At that time, they might have already scouted out the locations of each of their Yangcheng monsters in the main cities.
The major guilds wanted to play it safe, acting secretly; Team Happy was open and aboveboard, shouting loudly in the guild channel. In the end? Team Happy's large-scale action became a secret action, giving them a complete surprise.
Because they wanted to act secretly, they needed absolute confidants to complete the task. And the people controlling the undercover characters were also necessarily guild confidants. The temporary transfer left a vacuum in the undercover work, and as a result, they didn't know anything about Team Happy's large-scale actions.
Whether their stupidity made Team Happy's plan even more perfect, or whether Ye Xiu had already guessed their stupidity, Chun Yi Lao didn't know. In any case, the silence in the group told him that all the guilds were paying the price for their stupidity. The long-term struggle had made all of them seem like they were carved from the same mold, and Chun Yi Lao couldn't help but laugh again.
And in the group, at this time, finally some guild leaders discovered the strangeness of the group atmosphere. They discovered the problem from the sudden silence of one person after another.
"Team Happy." Zhongcaotang's Tian Nanxing only said two words.
Expressions appeared one after another.
Petrified…
Sweating profusely…
Furious…
Frantic…
Dejected…
(Substitute the above parts with QQ emoticons for a better effect)
Everyone instantly understood that, in all likelihood, their group had been completely wiped out by Team Happy. No one was in the mood to care if there were any survivors.
Everyone ran to look at the scoreboard.
This was something that people were constantly paying attention to, and if someone like Lord Grim suddenly jumped to the top, it would definitely be noticed. But when Team Happy was cleaning up their Yangcheng, no one noticed. Because Team Happy went in teams. Lord Grim killed a water algae monster alone, swallowing 625 points, of course, the list soared, which was equivalent to him killing six monsters at once. But now, Team Happy went to kill in teams, and the average was divided among everyone, so the increase was much smaller at once. This kind of fluctuation was everywhere in the entire list, and it was impossible to be particularly noticed.
Until Team Happy's entire team of characters, one by one, squeezed from who knows which character, to the top two hundred, the top one hundred, the top fifty, and even the top thirty, everyone realized that Team Happy's overall rise was very unusual. And from here, each family also realized that the Yangcheng that Team Happy snatched was not just their family.
As expected, Yanhua Lou's secret and unspoken approach of being robbed first received a reward. Although their own family failed to grab the advantage, seeing that other guilds were also suffering the same loss, Yanyu Suolou was in a much better mood. Moreover, relatively speaking, the earlier they were robbed, the smaller the loss was.
After the expressions, the guild leader group continued to be silent, and everyone didn't know what to say. Condemn Ye Xiu and Team Happy? Everyone was doing the same thing, the only difference was that Team Happy succeeded, and they failed. If they went to condemn them, it would be no different from slapping themselves in the face.
The guild leaders didn't explode in silence this time, they dispersed in silence. Each family notified the team of this unfortunate news, and of course the team wouldn't be too harsh. It was just that Team Happy sent all their characters to the top of the list through this round of sweeping, which was really amazing. How many more famous professional characters were thrown behind them.
On the scoreboard, Team Happy swept away five of the top ten, including the top three.
Lord Grim, Deception, Soft Mist.
After these three characters, it was Huang Shaotian's Troubling Rain, which made this one brush the screen in the player group again.
And when the event came to this point, there were few monsters left, and many people hadn't found monsters for a long time, and the points jumping on the scoreboard were getting less and less. Although the data statistics given by the system showed that there were still 21 monsters, the realm of the gods was so vast, and the number of 21 was really too small. Many players didn't want to waste time on this illusory opportunity, some went offline, and some had already started doing other things they usually did in the game.
Most of the players in Team Happy also dispersed like this, but the most trusted group was gathered together.
Has the curtain fallen?
Ye Xiu didn't think so, and he believed that other club guilds wouldn't think so either. The closer to the end, the harder it was to guard the monsters, and once such a monster was discovered by a certain guild, it would inevitably become a new Yangcheng target, and it would be easier to concentrate forces to protect it. After all, the event could basically be said to be over.
Therefore, Ye Xiu summoned these loyalists of Team Happy, and their task was to stare at the resurrection point. Still staring at the resurrection point, as long as it was Yangcheng, the resurrection point would be used no matter what, and staring here would be discovered no matter what. At the same time, a message was also released in the guild channel. When the players who were not offline were free to move around, they should also pay more attention to whether there were monsters, and whether there were any actions from other guilds.
For ordinary players, the event was over. But for the club guilds, the event was at a time when they were completely tit-for-tat. The remaining targets might be able to reverse the list results. These 21 monsters were clearly the key to victory, and the major guilds were mobilizing their forces to find them, or to monitor the actions of their competitors. Resurrection point, not just Team Happy's people, all parties were arranged to keep an eye on things.
But this time, even with the huge power mobilized by the major guilds, there was no gain.
21, 20, 19, 18…
The number of monsters was decreasing, and obviously some players had encountered them inadvertently and eliminated them.
Afterwards, messages were released by various guilds in the world channel: spending money to buy the coordinates of these monsters.
One family sent it, and every family sent it. Which professional club couldn't afford such a reward? Every family offered a reward, and players could only find the ones that looked pleasing to the eye, or compare prices between families. The guild leaders finally didn't shout out the clearly marked prices directly in the world, otherwise, if you went up and down, fighting a price war, where would there be an upper limit?
In such restless expectation, finally, the clock struck 0:00, and the system announced that today's Hundred Battles Night Walk event was over. There were still 17 monsters, but they were brushed off by the system as the event ended.
Yes, after the major guilds began to offer rewards, no one found the last 17 monsters, and they were refreshed by the system in this way. The list results didn't change again.
The rewards for the event, the drops when killing monsters at ordinary times were a part, and another part was the final list reward. The list was divided into a daily list and a total list. The daily list changed every day, and the total list accumulated for several days. At the end of the first day, the daily list rewards could of course be distributed. Without a doubt, they would be exchanged according to the list ranking and points. This didn't depend on luck. The ones with low rankings and few points could never get better rewards than the ones with high rankings and many points.
The event was the event. There had already been a large number of gains when killing monsters, and the final list rewards were even more dazzling. Especially the rewards for the top ten, they had to be announced to the world to stimulate players to accumulate and strive for them. Team Happy's five characters were mixed in with Troubling Rain, One Autumn Leaf, Drunken Gun, Wang Bu Liu Xing, and Sweeping Monk, all kinds of radiance were boundless.
