Chapter 919: 975, Sunday Mystery (13) Ranking List Chapter 919: 975, Sunday Mystery (13) Ranking List Frost Red Tea saw a scroll spread out on the altar wall.
The scroll was approximately 50 centiters wide and 1 ter long. It was covered in small characters that glowed with a rice-yellow light.
He peered intently at the scroll and found that the first line of small characters was written in Chinese, the content read: First place, Su Yu, 2245 Shell currency.
The other dozen or so players also gathered around.
Upon seeing this line of small characters, they imdiately realized that it was a kind of record, akin to a leaderboard found in gas.
Apart from Su Yu, the nas below were all written in Skuru script.
Second place, Charles Sol, 1203 Shell currency.
Third place, the bear beast Riebear, 784 Shell currency…
The list included the nas of all the adventurers who had taken part.
However, apart from the first few who had a considerable amount of Shell currency, the last thirty-so entries were just a string of “0s.”
This leaderboard could be said to be extrely useful.
Through the leaderboard, Su Yu and the others could clearly understand what sort of creatures the other participants in the secret realm were, especially the Skrull people whom they were most concerned about.
“1, 2, 3…16,” Shepherd in the Clouds quietly counted the nas on the leaderboard, slowly knitting his brows.
After counting to the end, he said in a grave voice, “This ti, there are a total of 16 Skrull people who have co in—more than last ti.”
“Hmm,” Mr. Li nodded, pointing at a na on the leaderboard: “This Charles Sol must be the leader of the Skrull people.
And the other Skrull people clearly trust him a lot to entrust him with their earnings. Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly have obtained so many Red Shell Coins in just half a day.”
Mr. ng expressed his agreent: “He must be the leader of the Skrull people, after all, with ‘Sol’ in his na, it’s clear he is of the Royal Family.”
Su Yu stroked his chin and said, “But I think that this ‘Sol’ is clearly not the leader of all Skrull people, perhaps only those from the Sol lineage trust him.”
Su Yu stretched out his hand, pointing towards the lower part of the leaderboard.
The leaderboard had several other Skrull people, with Shell currency earnings ranging from one hundred to one hundred and fifty.
“These should be Skrull people from other nations, they do not trust Charles Sol and are keeping their Shell currency for themselves.”
“Makes sense,” Shepherd in the Clouds nodded.
A lot could be deduced from this leaderboard. For instance, now they knew that the Skrull people were not united, which was certainly good news for the Blue Star people.
At the very end of the leaderboard, one na drew everyone’s attention.
This na was a different color from the others.
While the other nas emitted a rice-yellow light, this fellow’s na was a blood-red color.
Additionally, there was a blood-red skull icon marked behind his na.
“Looks like this fellow must’ve died,” Su Yu said solemnly.
“Probably so,” Mr. ng sighed slightly: “The secret realm is full of dangers; for instance, Jenny’s map has marked many areas as being active with Second Order and even Third Order Warcafts.
If a First Order adventurer were to wander off and be chased by a Second Order Warcraft, the likelihood of death would be quite high.”
“It seems we also need to be cautious,” Su Yu looked at all the players: “The Fisherman has repeatedly warned us not to go fishing in the lake at night, claiming it could be extrely dangerous. For the sake of our lives, let’s not go fishing at night, and we’ll observe the situation tomorrow instead.”
“Alright,” everyone nodded in agreent.
It was at this mont that Avril, who had been silent until now, spoke up, “I… I don’t understand sothing.”
“What is it?” Su Yu and the others looked towards her.
“That’s right,” Avril pointed to the na “Charles Sol,” puzzled, “I want to know how they caught the fish?
After we entered the secret realm, if Boss Ke hadn’t hunted a First Order brown snow beast, we wouldn’t have had enough money to rent a boat to fish, and now everyone should be working.
How did these Skrull people manage to get boats to go fishing in the lake?”
Hearing Avril’s question, many people were taken aback.
Indeed! How did the Skrull people manage to get boats?
Logically, working couldn’t possibly earn them money that quickly. Could it be that they also went hunting and caught high-value beasts?
“Cough cough,” just then, Shepherd in the Clouds coughed twice and said, “When I was at the dock earlier, I chatted with other adventurers, and I know a little about this… Actually, they didn’t go hunting; it’s the secret realm’s compensation chanism at work?”
“The secret realm’s compensation chanism?”
“Yes,” Shepherd in the Clouds explained, “So adventurers enter the secret realm quite late and, like us, if they co in with nothing, they’re basically unable to compete with us.
So, when they first enter the secret realm, the realm directly gives them 100—200 Red Shell Coins as startup funds, as compensation for entering late.”
“Oh, so that’s how it is.” Everyone nodded in understanding.
Upon hearing Shepherd in the Clouds say this, Su Yu couldn’t help but think about the last secret realm.
The last secret realm also had a compensation chanism. Red-Eyed Black Dragon and Fujiwara Chika entered the secret realm quite late, so the realm gave them extra points as compensation, and in the end, they managed to secure the 3rd and 4th place.
Everyone stood on the sa starting line, so it seed they would have to work twice as hard.
…
While they were studying the rankings, three other adventurers also ca to the altar to sacrifice, pushing a cart of fish.
Seeing Su Yu and her group of many people, they showed a look of wariness in their eyes.
Su Yu and the others didn’t intend to bother with them.
After trying and finding that the ranking scroll could not be removed from the wall, they pulled the cart back to their residence, to discuss the remaining matters after returning.
…
The main force returned to the base at 7 p.m., and Zhong Feng also ca back from the dockside.
Since everyone had arrived, the eting officially began at 7 p.m.
Of course, they weren’t just having a eting; the round table in the room was filled with food, and everyone talked while they ate.
Mr. ng and his team dug up dicinal herbs and made quite a bit of money this afternoon, so the food on the table wasn’t just dark bread but included white bread along with so ham and dried at.
Feeding everyone well would help them work even more vigorously the next day.
Zhong Feng had already heard all about the incidents at the altar from Mr. Li.
The eting was chaired by Su Yu.
Nibbling on the bread in small bites, Su Yu spoke to everyone, “Alright, let’s start the eting.”
“Okay,” everyone focused their attention on Su Yu simultaneously.
“We’ll start with the hunting team,” Su Yu looked toward Mr. ng, “Mr. ng, how much did you guys gain from hunting this ti?”
“Boss Ke, we’ve got 3150 Shell Coins’ worth of ga and dicinal herbs,” Mr. ng replied. “According to my estimations, if we hunt again tomorrow morning, our earnings should be enough to cover the entire secret realm’s expenses.”
The money from hunting wasn’t just for paying the fishern’s salaries; they also had to rent five more boats.
Now, due to high demand and low supply, the rental prices of fishing boats had soared, with the small ones even costing double than the dium-sized boats Su Yu and the others had rented!
Therefore, Mr. ng and his team had to hunt once more to earn enough Shell Coins to rent the fishing boats.
