Chapter 1248: A Stunning Lead
Chapter 1248: A Stunning Lead
Three hours later, the first settlement point arrived.
A "settlement point" refers to the node where reward points are settled.
During the reward event, points are not updated in real-time.
After a case is reported, points need to be verified repeatedly, which can result in undercounting, overcounting, or missing counts.
For example, a case initially rated at 500 points might be adjusted upward if new victims are discovered during verification, or downward if the reporting team exaggerated the facts.
Therefore, points are not immediately displayed after a case is reported. They are only shown after a thorough verification to ensure accuracy, and the corresponding score is given.
The settlement cycle is every three hours.
Every three hours, the staff in charge of point settlement will publish confirmed and error-free points for everyone to view.
The time when points are published is also known as a "settlement point."
Three hours after the reward event began, the first settlement point finally arrived!
On the public network's reward event interface, the points for each team were refreshed and re-ranked, showing the results after settlement.
At this moment, everyone, whether it's members like Ryman and Bella, or participants from various teams, or even ordinary residents watching the event, immediately clicked to view and see which teams had taken the lead.
However, not long after, each star district erupted in a mountainous and oceanic roar:
"Glory above, it's still 'Fegxin Star' in first place!"
"1863 points! An increase of 952 points from the start."
"Those powerful teams didn't catch up, right? Wait, 'Lemo Mercenaries' are second, but they only have 1150 points, an increase of only 418 points? How could they have increased so little?"
At this settlement point, "Lemo Mercenaries" had 1150 points, edging out a narrow lead of 3 points over their competitors ("Silver Guardians" with 1147 points) to take second place.
But what shocked everyone was that these powerful teams not only didn't close the gap with Su Yu's team but widened it!
Moreover, they widened it by more than just a little bit!
Su Yu's team gained 952 points in three hours, while the top ten other teams generally had only 300-400 points, continuing to widen the gap and take the lead!
"By this rhythm, no other team can surpass them."
"In three hours, they surged over nine hundred points... I know a team also joined the reward event; they are all eighth-rank, and in three hours, they managed to gain over a hundred points."
"Originally, I thought this team would only be a flash in the pan, but now, it's clearly not the case!"
...
The public network was filled with exclamations.
Three hours ago, everyone thought Su Yu's team was just one of the strong teams, but they wouldn't last long before falling behind.
But they didn't show any signs of falling behind, continuing to firmly hold first place! And it was a clear lead!
In the Pan 05 Base's general command office, Ryman and his assistant Bella were completely stunned!
Su Yu's team's strength was too overwhelming!
"Of course, my intuition was right," Bella thought to herself.
She looked at Ryman and said seriously, "Lord Gridd, should we take action?"
"…Or should we wait a bit longer?" Ryman hesitated.
Su Yu's performance was completely beyond his imagination, and it could be said that he was thoroughly slapped in the face.
Was it that Su Yu's luck was really that good, or did he find a case like "Morris Case" again?
However, it would be too early to suppress Su Yu's team right now. We should first understand the specific situation.
"Bella, check the details of the cases Su Yu submitted."
"Yes, sir."
"Also, let's wait a bit longer and see the situation after the next settlement point."
...
Time flew by in the midst of their busy investigations. Soon, another three hours had passed, and it was time for the second settlement point.
But at this settlement point, Luman was clearly much more anxious.
During the past few hours, he and his assistant Bella had thoroughly reviewed all the cases Su Yu had reported.
However, what they found was shocking! The 952 points Su Yu had earned were not from solving another major case like the "Morris Case." Instead, these 952 points came from nine separate cases, each worth around a hundred points.
What shocked Luman even more was that each case had extremely solid evidence!
He couldn't find any vague or unclear details in the evidence.
Moreover, there was no sign of any falsification, and all the cases had occurred after the bounty had started, leaving no room for doubt.
These facts clearly demonstrated Su Yu's strength. Su Yu wasn't just lucky; they were genuinely leading by a significant margin!
These revelations made Luman feel a deep sense of embarrassment. He had truly misjudged Su Yu!
Luman also suspected that Su Yu's team would likely still be in the lead at this settlement point.
...
As expected.
Another three hours later, the second settlement point arrived, and the scores of all the teams were refreshed.
At this settlement point, Su Yu's team had earned an additional 666 points, maintaining their first place with a total of 2529 points.
The second place was reclaimed by the "Silver Guardians," who had earned 390 points this time, bringing their total to 1537 points.
The "Lemo Mercenaries" took third place, just 7 points behind the "Silver Guardians."
The gap between first and second place had widened again, now almost reaching 1000 points!
At this rate, it would take the "Silver Guardians" six to seven hours just to catch up to Su Yu's team, let alone surpass them.
"Ah, just as I thought," Luman sighed, seeing the results.
Bella added, "The two settlements have proven that our team indeed lacks the strength to defeat Su Yu's team. If we don't interfere, Su Yu's team winning the championship is a certainty."
She looked at Luman, "Lord Gridd, what do you think? Should we interfere?"
"This..." Luman frowned, hesitating again.
"Sir, there's no need to hesitate, is there?" Bella asked, "The commander personally instructed us to secure first place. If we don't interfere, we definitely won't achieve that. Moreover, I believe the sooner we interfere, the better. If we wait too long, the points gap will be too large to close."
"But the situation is different now," Luman said, frowning. "No doubt, many people are closely watching the bounty. If we interfere to take first place, the negative impact will be severe.
If Su Yu had only a few more points or a dozen more, we could have manipulated things. But now, with nearly a thousand points, any interference will be immediately noticed."
"..." Bella remained silent, recognizing the complexity of the issue. They couldn't act rashly.
Now, they seemed to be in a difficult position, with no clear path forward. Advancing or retreating both seemed problematic, and they felt stuck.
Finally, Luman decided, "Let's report back to the commander and see what he suggests."
