Chapter 1447: 1343, Resource Feedback (2)_3

…

In the busy inquiries, time quickly passed.

Soon, another 3 hours went by, and the time reached the second settlement point.

But at this settlement point, Lu Man was clearly much more anxious.

During the previous time, he and his assistant Bella reviewed all the cases reported by Su Yu.

However, they were shocked at what they saw!

The additional 952 points for Su Yu were not from another major case like the “Morris Case” as they expected. These 952 points were from a total of 9 cases, each worth around a hundred points.

What’s more shocking was that every case had extremely solid evidence!

He reviewed the evidence but couldn’t find any vague or unclear points.

Moreover, there were no signs of fabrication in any of the cases, and all occurred after the start of the bounty, leaving no flaws for him to pick.

These facts fully demonstrated Su Yu’s strength; Su Yu was not merely lucky, they truly could maintain a lead!

All these facts made Lu Man feel ashamed; he truly misjudged this time!

Lu Man even suspected that Su Yu’s Team would still be leading at this settlement point.

…

As expected.

Another 3 hours passed, the second settlement point arrived, and the results for each team were updated again.

At this settlement point, Su Yu’s Team gained an additional 666 points, continuing to hold first place, with a total score reaching 2529 points.

The second place was reclaimed by the “Silver guard,” earning 390 points in this settlement, with a total score of 1537 points.

The “Lemo Mercenaries” were close behind, trailing by just 7 points.

The gap between first and second place widened again, now approaching 1000 points!

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

“Sigh, it turned out as expected.” Seeing the results, Lu Man sighed.

Bella chimed in: “Two settlements confirmed our team indeed lacks the strength to defeat Su Yu’s Team. If no interference is applied, it’s certain that Su Yu’s Team will win.”

She looked at Lu Man: “Lord Grid, the question remains: should we interfere?”

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

“You shouldn’t hesitate on this, right?” Bella asked: “The Legion Commander specifically instructed us to take first place. If we don’t interfere, it’s obvious we won’t achieve first. And I believe the sooner we intervene, the better, as catching up in points might be impossible if delayed.”

“But the situation is different now.” Lu Man frowned and said, “Undoubtedly, many people are watching this bounty. If we interfere and take first place, what kind of negative impact might that have?

If Su Yu was only leading by a few points or a dozen points, we might have done something. But they are almost a thousand points ahead now; interference would be immediately noticed.”

“…” Bella became silent, recognizing the issue. This can’t be handled recklessly.

They seemed now to be in a dilemma, stuck between advancing and retreating.

Finally, Lu Man decided: “We should report to the Legion Commander promptly and see what he says.”

3 hours later, the first settlement point of the bounty event arrived.

“Settlement point” refers to the calculation node of bounty points.

In bounty events, points are not updated in real-time.

Reported cases need repetitive verification, with possibilities of under-calculation, over-calculation, or omission of points.

For example, a case initially rated at 500 points might find new victims during verification, raising its rating. Conversely, a team’s exaggeration might lower the rating.

Thus, after case reporting, points don’t immediately display. They need careful verification, and correct scores will be given only after confirmation.

The settlement cycle for points is 3 hours.

Every 3 hours, staff responsible for point calculation release confirmed scores for public viewing.

The time of score publication is also called the “settlement point.”

3 hours after the bounty started, the first settlement point finally arrived!

In the public network bounty event interface, each team’s scores refreshed and rankings updated, displaying the settled results.

Everyone awaited this moment.

When the time came, whether it was internal members like Lu Man and Bella, or various teams participating in the bounty, or even ordinary residents watching the excitement, everyone immediately clicked to see which teams were leading this time.

Before long, cheers and exclamations echoed across sectors:

“Hymn above! ‘Feige Rising Star’ is still first!”

“1863 points! That’s 952 more points than initially.”

“Didn’t those big force teams overtake them? Wait, ‘Lemo Mercenaries’ are in second, but they only have 1150 points, increasing by just 418 points compared to the first time? Such a small increase?”

At this settlement point, the “Mole Mercenaries” achieved 1150 points, surpassing their competitor with a slight advantage of 3 points (“Silver guard” 1147 points) to second place.

What shocked everyone was that the teams from major forces not only failed to close the point gap with Su Yu’s Team but instead widened it!

And the gap increased by a significant margin!

Su Yu’s Team gained an additional 952 points in 3 hours, while other top-ten teams generally earned only 300~400 points. At this rate, how could they ever catch up?

“My God, who on earth is this ‘Su Yu’? It’s terrifying!”

“At this pace, no other team can possibly surpass them.”
