Chapter 1450: 1343, Resource Feedback (2)_6

If Su Yu only had a few or even a dozen more points, we could still manipulate things a bit. But now it’s almost a thousand points, and as soon as we intervene, it’ll be discovered by others.”

“…” Bella fell silent. This indeed is a problem and cannot be handled blindly.

They seem to be stuck in a predicament where advancing is wrong and retreating is also wrong, seemingly trapped here.

Finally, Lu Man decided: “We should report to the legion commander in time and see what he has to say.” Three hours later, the first settlement point of the bounty activity arrived.

‘Settlement point’ refers to the calculation node of the bounty points.

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

Because after the case is reported, it needs to be repeatedly verified, and there are cases of undercounting, overcounting, or missing points.

For example, a case originally rated at 500 points may find new victims during verification and raise the rating, or it may lower the rating if the reporting team exaggerated the facts.

Therefore, after a case is reported, the points won’t be displayed immediately. They need to be carefully verified and confirmed before the corresponding scores are given.

The point settlement cycle is every 3 hours.

Every 3 hours, the staff responsible for point settlement will publish the confirmed points, making them available for everyone to review.

The time of point publication is also called ‘settlement point’ by everyone.

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

In the public network’s bounty activity interface, each team’s points are refreshed and re-ranked, showing the results after settlement.

Everyone had been waiting for this moment.

At the time, whether it was internal members like Lu Man and Bella or every team participating in the bounty, or even ordinary residents just watching the excitement, they all clicked to check who was leading this time.

However, shortly afterward, each star sector erupted in thunderous exclamations:

“In the name of the hymn, it’s still the ‘Feige Rising Star’ in first place!”

“1863 points! An increase of 952 points compared to the beginning.”

“Did those big power teams not overtake? Wait, the ‘Lemo Mercenaries’ are second, but they only have 1150 points, only an increase of 418 points since the first time? Why such a small increase?”

At this settlement point, the ‘Mole Mercenaries’ are at 1150 points, surpassing their competitor to second place by a slim margin of 3 points (‘Silver Guard’ at 1147 points).

But what shocked everyone was that these teams from major powers not only did not close the points gap with Su Yu’s team but actually widened it!

And the gap widened significantly!

Su Yu’s team gained 952 points in three hours, while the top ten other teams generally only had 300~400 points. How will they overtake at this rate!

“My God, who on earth is this ‘Su Yu’? This is too frightening!”

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

“Over 900 points increased in three hours… I know a team participating in the bounty that has worked very hard, with all Eighth Rank members, and got only over a hundred points in three hours.”

“I originally thought this team was just a flash in the pan, but now it seems completely not the case!”

…

The public network was filled with exclamations everywhere.

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

But no one expected them to show no signs of falling behind; if this continues, they’re bound to be first! And leading by a large margin!

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

Su Yu’s team was unexpectedly strong, almost defying logic!

“Indeed, my intuition was correct,” Bella thought to herself.

She looked at Lu Man and said seriously, “Lord Grid, should we take any action?”

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

Su Yu’s performance was completely beyond his imagination, a real slap in the face.

Could it be that Su Yu was just particularly lucky and found another ‘Morris Case’ type of incident?

But it’s too early to suppress Su Yu’s team now, better to understand the specifics first.

“Bella, check the detailed content of the cases reported by Su Yu.”

“As you command.”

“Besides, let’s wait and see after the next settlement point.”

…

Amidst busy inquiries, time raced by.

Soon, another three hours passed, reaching the second settlement point.

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

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

But not looking was okay, as checking them shocked him!

Su Yu’s additional 952 points did not result from solving another ‘Morris Case’ as he had imagined. These 952 points included 9 cases, each with around a hundred points.

And what shocked him was that each case had incredibly conclusive evidence!

He couldn’t find any vague or unclear points in those evidences.

Moreover, there were no signs of falsification in any of the cases, all occurring after the bounty started, leaving him with no flaws to pick.

This fully demonstrated Su Yu’s strength. Su Yu wasn’t just lucky; they could genuinely lead by a large margin!

These facts made Lu Man’s face feel sore, realizing he had really misjudged!

And Lu Man guessed that this settlement point would still have Su Yu’s team in the lead.
