Chapter 1446: 1343, Resource Feedback (2)_2

The third-place “Lemo Mercenaries” follow closely with a difference of 7 points.

Now, the gap between the first and second place has widened once again, almost reaching 1000 points!

At this rate, the “Silver guard” would need six to seven hours to catch up with Su Yu’s Team, let alone surpass them.

“Sigh, as expected,” Lu Man sighed upon seeing the results.

Bella added, “The scores from twice show that our team indeed doesn’t have the strength to defeat Su Yu’s Team. If we don’t intervene, Su Yu’s Team winning is a sure thing.”

She looked at Lu Man, “Lord Grid, same question, should we intervene?”

“This…” Lu Man furrowed his brows, starting to hesitate again.

“Is there any need to hesitate?” Bella asked, “The commander personally instructed us to take first place. If we don’t intervene, we obviously won’t get first place. Moreover, I think the earlier we intervene, the better, because if we’re late, we may not even be able to catch up in points.”

“But the situation is different now,” Lu Man frowned. “Undoubtedly, many people are watching the reward. If we intervene to take first place, how bad could the impact be?

If Su Yu were only a few points or a dozen points ahead, we could still manipulate a bit. But now, it’s already close to a thousand points, any interference will be immediately discovered.”

“…” Bella fell silent; it indeed is a problem that cannot be blindly handled.

Now they seem to be caught in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat, stuck in this predicament.

In the end, Lu Man decided, “Let’s report to the commander in time and see what he decides.”

3 hours later, the first checkpoint in the reward activity arrived.

“Checkpoint” refers to the node where the reward points are calculated.

During the reward activity, activity points are not updated in real time.

Because after a case is reported, it needs repeated verification. Points may be calculated less, more, or incorrectly.

For example, a case originally rated 500 points may find new victims during verification, raising its rating, or it might be downgraded due to exaggerated facts by the reporting team.

So after reporting a case, the score won’t be displayed immediately; it needs thorough verification to confirm correctness before awarding the appropriate score.

The scoring cycle for points settlement is 3 hours.

Every 3 hours, the staff responsible for point settlement will publicize the confirmed points for everyone to view.

The time when scores are publicized is also known as the “checkpoint.”

Three hours after the reward started, the first checkpoint finally arrived!

In the public network interface of the reward activity, the scores of each team are refreshed and re-ranked, showing the results after the settlement.

Everyone was waiting for this moment.

At the time of the checkpoint, whether it was internal members like Lu Man and Bella or the participating teams, as well as ordinary residents watching the spectacle, everyone clicked immediately to see which teams were at the top this time.

However, it didn’t take long before uproarious exclamations erupted across each star sector:

“By the hymn, ‘Feige New Star’ is still first!”

“1863 points! That’s an increase of 952 points since the beginning.”

“Those teams from major forces haven’t overtaken? Wait, ‘Lemo Mercenaries’ is second now, but they only have 1150 points, only increasing by 418 points since the first time? Why so little increase?”

At this checkpoint, “Mole Mercenaries” scored 1150 points, barely overtaking the competitor to second place with a slight edge of 3 points over “Silver guard” (1147 points).

But what shocked everyone was that not only did these teams from large forces fail to close the points gap with Su Yu’s Team, but it also widened!

And it widened significantly!

Su Yu’s Team increased by 952 points in 3 hours, while the other top ten teams generally only gained 300~400 points. Continuing like this, how can they surpass them!

“My god, who exactly is this ‘Su Yu’, so frightening!”

“At this rate, the other teams simply can’t surpass them.”

“Over 900 points in just 3 hours… A team I know also participated in the reward. They worked hard, and all members are at Eighth Rank, and only earned a bit over 100 points in 3 hours.”

“Initially, I thought this team would just be a flash in the pan. Now I see that’s entirely untrue!”

…

The public network was filled with exclamations of amazement everywhere.

Three hours ago, everyone thought Su Yu was just lucky or individually strong and would soon fall behind.

But unexpectedly, there was no sign of them falling behind. Continuing on like this, they’re surely first, and by a wide margin!

In the chief’s office of Pan-South Base 05 in Star Sector No. 2, Lu Man and assistant Bella were completely stunned!

The unanticipated strength of Su Yu’s Team is simply overwhelming!

“Indeed, my instincts were correct,” Bella thought to herself.

She looked at Lu Man, saying seriously, “Lord Grid, should we take measures?”

“… Let’s wait a little longer.” Lu Man hesitated.

Su Yu’s performance was entirely beyond his expectations, effectively slapping him in the face.

Could it be that Su Yu’s luck is truly extraordinary, leading him to another case like the “Morris case”?

But moving to suppress Su Yu’s Team now is too early; perhaps it is better first to understand the specific situation.

“Bella, investigate the specific content of the cases Su Yu submitted.”

“Understood.”

“And let’s wait for the next checkpoint to see the situation.”
