Chapter 1451: 1343, Resource Feedback (2)_7

As expected.

Another three hours passed, and the second settlement point arrived, refreshing each team’s scores once again.

At this settlement point, Su Yu’s Team earned an additional 666 points, maintaining their lead with a total score of 2529 points.

The “Silver Guard” reclaimed the second place, with 390 points from this settlement, bringing their total to 1537 points.

The “Lemo Mercenaries” followed closely in third place, just 7 points behind.

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

At this rate, for the “Silver Guard” to catch up with Su Yu’s Team would take six or seven more hours, not to mention overtaking them.

“Ah, just as expected.” Upon seeing the results, Lu Man sighed.

Bella chimed in, “The two settlements prove 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 certainty.”

She looked at Lu Man, “Lord Gried, once again, should we intervene?”

“This…” Lu Man frowned, hesitating once more.

“You shouldn’t hesitate, right?” Bella asked, “The legion commander instructed us to secure first place. If we don’t interfere, obviously, we won’t get the first place. Moreover, I believe the sooner we intervene, the better. If we’re late, we may not be able to chase the points.”

“But the situation is different now.” Lu Man frowned, “Undoubtedly, many people are watching the reward. If we interfere to get the first place, how terrible would the impact be?

If Su Yu was just a few points ahead, or by tens of points, we could still do something. But now, with a gap of almost a thousand points, as soon as we intervene, it would immediately be noticed.”

“…” Bella fell silent. Indeed, it was an issue that couldn’t be handled impulsively.

They seemed to be in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat, seemingly stuck there.

Finally, Lu Man decided, “We should report to the legion commander in time and see what he says.”

Three hours later, the first settlement point of the reward event came.

“Settlement point” refers to the node where the bounty points are settled.

In the reward event, event points are not updated in real-time.

Because after a case is reported, it needs to be repeatedly verified, resulting in under-counting, over-counting, or miscounting points.

For instance, a case originally rated at 500 points may find new victims during verification, raising the rating, or might have exaggerated facts, lowering it.

Thus, points aren’t shown immediately after a case is reported. It requires thorough verification, and only after confirmation are the respective points given.

The point settlement cycle is three hours.

Every three hours, the staff responsible for point settlement will announce the verified points for everyone to view.

The time when the points are announced is also known as the “settlement point.”

Three hours after the reward began, the first settlement point finally arrived!

On the public network reward event interface, each team’s points were refreshed and ranked again, displaying the settled results.

Everyone was waiting for this moment as well.

At the point, whether internal members like Lu Man and Bella, participants of the reward event teams, or ordinary spectators, everyone immediately clicked to see which teams were leading this time.

However, it wasn’t long before resounding exclamations erupted across various star sectors:

“By the hymn, ‘Feige Nova’ is still in the first place!”

“1863 points! An increase of 952 points from the start.”

“Have the teams from major powers not overtaken them? Wait, the ‘Lemo Mercenaries’ are second, but they only have 1150 points, an increase of only 418 points from the first time? Why such a small increase?”

At this settlement point, the “Mole Mercenaries” had 1150 points, surpassing their competitor to second place by a slight margin of 3 points (“Silver Guard” had 1147 points).

But what shocked everyone was not only that these teams from major powers hadn’t closed the gap with Su Yu’s Team, but it had widened!

And not just by a little!

Su Yu’s Team gained 952 points in three hours, while other top ten teams mostly only gained 300 to 400 points. How could they ever surpass at this rate!

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

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

“A crazy increase of over nine hundred points in three hours… I know a team that also participated in the reward event. They worked very hard, all members in the Eighth Rank, and they only got over a hundred points in three hours.”

“I initially thought this team would only be a flash in the pan. Now it seems completely not!”

…

The public network was filled with exclamations everywhere.

Three hours ago, everyone thought Su Yu was just lucky or individually strong, and they wouldn’t stay in the lead for long.

But no one expected them to show no sign of falling back and continue steadily ahead! Moreover, with a significant lead!

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

Su Yu’s Team was unexpectedly strong; it was simply unprecedented!

“Indeed, my intuition wasn’t wrong,” Bella thought secretly.

She looked at Lu Man, seriously saying, “Lord Gried, should we take action?”

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

Su Yu’s performance was beyond his imagination, practically a slap to his face.
