Chapter 1246: Top of the Leaderboard!
Chapter 1246: Top of the Leaderboard!
The "Fegxin Nova" team had scored an astounding 911 points, which meant they had submitted a case of the 911th level! This was nearly at the peak of what was possible in the realm of cases!
"Give me all the information on this team immediately!" Luman shouted. "And send me all the details of the case they submitted!"
"Understood!" Bella also realized the significance of this development. It was like a dark horse had suddenly emerged from nowhere!
Bella's gaze quickly scanned the entire leaderboard.
In second place was a team sent by the Fegxin Guard, third place was a team from the Lemo Mercenary Corps, and the teams from fourth to tenth place all hailed from major factions within the hub, each backed by at least a planetary-level entity.
However, this first-place team seemed to come from nowhere, with no backing from a major faction or a planetary-level entity. (Bella had compiled a list of "teams to watch," which included all teams from major factions or those backed by planetary-level entities. This list did not include "Fegxin Nova.")
Where did this dark horse come from? Why were they able to outshine everyone else? Could they be from a major faction that she had overlooked?
Bella didn't dare to waste any time. She quickly operated the virtual panel, using her authority to access the team's information, and sent all the data she could find to her superior, Luman.
Luman received the information Bella sent and quickly reviewed it.
As he delved into the detailed profile of the "Fegxin Nova" team, he was immediately puzzled.
The profile showed that the "Fegxin Nova" team consisted of eight members from the "Fegxin Nova" Adventurer Guild. This guild had been established only in the past 50 years, with fewer than 100 members, and ranked around 79th in overall strength.
A 79th-ranked small adventurer guild—how could they have taken the top spot? Luman was full of confusion. Could it be that they had incredible luck?
But then, he saw a familiar name in the team roster—Su Yu.
Seeing this name, Luman suddenly understood!
"Oh! It's him! It's this Su Yu!"
Everything made sense now! It was Su Yu leading the team himself.
No wonder they had taken the top spot!
Bella also realized the truth. "It's this Su Yu leading the team! I remember he was the one who submitted the application for this bounty, and I almost forgot about him!"
"More than just you, I almost forgot too." Luman wiped the sweat from his brow. "It seems this guy is quite capable."
...
10 minutes later, the bounty data was refreshed on the public network.
Upon seeing the updated leaderboard, the public network erupted in excitement:
"By the Hymn of the Saints! Where did this first-place team come from?"
"Fegxin Nova? Never heard of them."
"The teams from second to tenth place are clearly from major factions! Second place is from the Guard, third from the Lemo Mercenary Corps, fourth from the Green Nature Conservation Association... all major factions!"
"I just checked, and this first-place 'Fegxin Nova' isn't from a major faction. They're a small adventurer guild that was formed only in the past 50 years. Their strongest member is only at the peak of the Eighth Rank, and they don't seem to have any planetary-level backing."
"No planetary-level backing? How is that possible?"
"How could such a small adventurer guild take the top spot right from the start? Could it be luck?"
"I know! Look at their team leader's name!"
"Team leader... Oh, it's Su Yu!"
"Who is Su Yu?"
"Su Yu is the one who proposed the bounty hunt! I can't believe he's taken first place!"
"Oh, that's him, huh? Now I remember. He's the one who single-handedly took down four eighth-rank enemies in seconds, right?"
"It's him! No wonder he managed to top the leaderboard despite all the major factions!"
"Looks like he's really good at this."
"He must be! If he wasn't, why would he propose a bounty hunt just to give others an advantage?"
"But he won't last long. This might just be a flash in the pan."
...
The public network buzzed with admiration.
Everyone was amazed that Su Yu had managed to lead his team to first place right from the start!
To top the leaderboard despite the pressure from so many powerful factions was a testament to his strength and skill. Su Yu had now firmly entered the public eye.
Meanwhile, after ten minutes of investigation, Traveler Man and his assistant, Bella, had pieced together the entire situation.
Bella, reviewing the files, reported to Traveler Man:
"We can now summarize the situation:
Su Yu submitted a highly severe and dangerous criminal case!
The suspect is named Morris, an Omalean. He is an eighth-rank upper-class individual and was a senior researcher at the 'Yellow Jade' monster research institute two months ago.
Two months ago, the Sacred Song disappeared, and Morris resigned from the institute, citing 'mental breakdown.' Since then, he has been living in seclusion in a small town about 30 kilometers southeast of May City in the 174th star region.
He lived a reclusive life, occasionally appearing in public but always acting erratic. However, he was secretly planning a shocking and insane scheme!
According to Morris's personal diary, he believed that since the Sacred Song had disappeared, all the Saint Silver people should be buried with it. Without the Sacred Song, there would be no Saint Silver race spread across the two star systems.
Over two months, he used his knowledge of pharmacology to develop a new type of neurotoxin, which he named 'Peptide Chain.'
This toxin specifically targets the Saint Silver race. Other races will only experience temporary neural paralysis if infected, but the Saint Silver race will quickly become paralyzed, and in severe cases, die instantly!
The neurotoxin is water-soluble, has a faint pungent smell, and a slightly bitter taste, making it difficult to detect.
Morris has already produced 500 units of this neurotoxin. If all of it were mixed into the residents' water supply, it could result in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Saint Silver people!
Three days ago, he conducted a live experiment in the town where he lived.
Five Saint Silver people, whom he referred to as 'test subjects,' were forcibly brought to his home and died from the neurotoxin!
Morris's next plan was to mass-produce the neurotoxin and release it into the star region's water supply, causing even greater casualties.
Fortunately, his plan was foiled early.
The day before yesterday, Su Yu and the members of the 'Figer Nova' adventure team burst into Morris's residence, exposing and stopping his plot.
Morris was arrested, and Su Yu's team found a large amount of evidence and the remains of the five innocent Saint Silver people in his home.
Today, Su Yu handed Morris over to the Guard Corps and provided all the criminal evidence.
Based on the severity of the case, it has been classified as a 911-level case, and Su Yu's team has been awarded 911 points."
