Chapter 1245: Detailed Explanation of Bounty Points
At 12:00 AM on June 14th, the bounty hunt officially began! As soon as the clock struck, teams across the various star zones immediately sprang into action.
However, they didn't immediately scatter to search everywhere. Instead, they quickly headed to the nearest submission points.
Their goal was to apprehend the criminals and gather evidence within the first two days, while simultaneously uploading photos, videos, and other electronic evidence of the crimes to the public network.
The reason for such immediate action was that a loophole in the bounty rules was discovered.
This loophole was that the bounty rules did not specify the exact time of the crime. Without this clarity, if the crime occurred before the bounty began, could teams not capture a few criminals in advance and wait until the bounty began to submit the cases? After all, this would not violate the bounty rules!
Upon discovering this loophole, it immediately sparked heated debates on the public network.
So, why didn't everyone try to apprehend a few criminals in advance? After all, the 3 days of registration provided ample time.
Thus, numerous teams took immediate action, actively targeting and apprehending criminals.
Faced with this situation, the bounty organizers quickly issued a patch.
This loophole significantly impacted the balance. After the bounty began, some teams managed to submit several, even a dozen cases, while others, due to late registration, had no cases to submit. Wouldn’t this make the start of the bounty a huge joke?
The organizers promptly issued a document, defining that the crime must occur within the bounty period to qualify for bounty points.
However, the patch was not entirely effective.
In the final statement, the organizers declared that to preheat for the bounty and to prevent criminals from committing more crimes before the bounty began, all participating teams could immediately submit one crime case. This case could be outside the bounty period but within the registration period.
Publishing this statement proved to be highly beneficial.
For the Vigilant Guard, it meant they could submit a crime case to their advantage, allowing them to select a case with higher points to gain an early lead.
For the vast Vigilant Hub residents, this was also beneficial.
Surely, some criminals were thinking of taking advantage before the bounty began. With this statement, these criminals had to act quickly!
The patch took immediate effect.
Thus, during the 3 days of registration, each participating team aimed to screen for higher-point cases to gain more of an early lead.
Su Yu was no exception.
During these 3 days, besides the "Vigilant Novas" adventure team's 8 members, who were adjusting and getting to know each other, he also carefully selected a high-point case to gain an early lead and to prove his team's strength, easing his teammates' concerns.
After the bounty began, Su Yu and Kitty Morningstar immediately headed to the nearest submission point with a suspect.
The remaining 8 teammates, under his command, quickly headed to the nearest crime scene.
Over the past 3 days, Su Yu had activated "Sanctus Towers" in 5 star zones. To date, he had activated all 8 "Sanctus Towers" in these star zones, which are zones 170 to 177.
In these 8 star zones, Su Yu had taken the local residents under his command, ensuring no crime escaped the AI Blue Whale's surveillance.
And the AI Blue Whale, with its powerful algorithms, can calculate the best way to capture criminals to maximize the rewards (referring to maximizing points).
Thus, Su Yu has a tenfold advantage in securing the top reward! As for the other competitors, how could they possibly compare with the AI Blue Whale, no matter how many additional members they have?
Therefore, Su Yu is bound to come out on top!
...
About 60 minutes after the rewards began, the first batch of reward points was updated on the main reward page of the network.
The Guard Corps needed to verify the submitted cases, and only after verification would the accurate reward points be uploaded. However, due to the large number of initial submissions, the first batch of points was uploaded to the public network after 60 minutes.
Luman Grid, as the overall leader, saw the first batch of accurate points 10 minutes before the public release.
But upon seeing the data, he was immediately shocked!
"The first place isn't us! What route did they take to get first place?"
Luman quickly glanced at the leaderboard, which showed that the team "Silver Guard" was in second place, with a total of 764 points;
The third place was "Lemo Mercenary," a team from the Lemo Mercenary Corps, with a total of 732 points;
The team in first place stunned him.
This team, named "Feg Xin Xing," displayed a staggering 911 points, far surpassing the second place by a significant margin!
What's more, this team had never been noticed before, seemingly not sent by any of the major factions.
But who on earth could have achieved such a high score, overshadowing all the major factions?
To understand the points, one must first understand the reward rules for this bounty.
According to the "Feg Hub Penal Code," the penal code divides all crimes into 1000 levels.
Among these, petty thefts, assaults, and brawls are considered first-level crimes. Burglaries and assaults causing serious injuries are classified as third-level crimes.
In the most severe cases, premeditated murder causing death can be classified as a seventh-level crime, and multiple killings can be classified as tenth-level crimes, which is the limit for ordinary crimes.
However, as the criminals' strength increases, the harm to society grows, and the crime levels will gradually rise.
The highest level, 1000, is roughly equivalent to an Eighth-Rank Peak Cultivator committing a heinous crime, causing immense harm to society! If such a heinous crime causes significant economic losses and severe casualties, the crime level can approach 1000.
The above applies to cultivators below the Eighth Rank. Criminal acts by Star-Rank and above are not covered by the Feg Hub Penal Code.
Moreover, this bounty does not consider capturing Star-rank or higher cultivators.
Thus, the participating teams can only target the highest level of ordinary crimes, which is Level 1000.
As for the points obtained from this bounty, they are entirely based on the crime level.
Submitting a Level 1 crime case and the suspect earns 1 point; submitting a Level 2 crime case earns 2 points, and so on.
