Chapter 17 One Man Carries the Entire Field! Homecoming in Glory or Continuing the Battle?
The rankings have changed dramatically.
Yun Xia, who was originally fourth from the bottom in total score, not only broke into the top three.
With a margin of more than double that of the second-place finisher, they directly climbed to the top of the world rankings!
"That's impossible!"
In the Star Sea Federation's supreme command headquarters, the Commander-in-Chief kicked over the solid wood desk in front of him, spitting all over the screen:
"Cheating! This is blatant cheating!"
How can a dilapidated civilization, which hasn't even left the starting village and whose entire population consists of insects and space turtles, possibly earn one million points?!
After a ten-second silence, the online chat exploded with comments.
[Westland Netizen]: [What's going on?! Is Yunxia cheating?! Is there a bug in the system?!]
[Xinghai Netizen]: [Protest! Where is the official Earth Online team? Seize Yunxia's data!]
They were almost at the bottom just half an hour ago, how did they suddenly gain a million points?
At a time when the world is questioning data fabrication and is furious about incompetence.
The top data analysis agency in the Westland Consortium suddenly released a curve comparison chart on its public channel.
That was an analysis of the overlap between two sets of data:
One is the precipitous drop in Black Tide Island's civilization crystal, which caused its faction points to instantly reach zero when the island's civilization crystal was forcibly demolished.
The other is the explosive growth curve of Yunxia's total points, which took off from the spot and rose sharply.
The turning points of these two curves are accurate to the millisecond and completely overlap!
[Chief Analyst, Westland Data Center]
Everyone... please stop calling it a bug.
The system rules clearly state that if a civilization is completely wiped out...
The faction of the one who kills the enemy will receive 100% of the defeated side's civilization legacy and luck points.
The moment this comment appeared, the global internet instantly fell into a suffocating standstill.
Nobody's stupid.
At this moment, the tension that had been building up in everyone's minds suddenly snapped back to life.
Who destroyed Kuroshio Island?
It is that deep-sea demon god that is over a hundred meters long, whose ink melted millions of poisonous insects, and whose tentacles crushed the crystal of civilization!
Who obtained the legacy points for Kuroshio Island?
It's the Yunxia faction!
An equation that chills to the bone and shatters one's worldview has been laid bare before all of humanity with utmost clarity.
[Xinghai Netizen]: [Wait...wait a minute.]
You mean... that giant octopus that pierced through the trench and was over a hundred meters tall...
Not a system-spawned boss?
[Westland Netizen]:
"He's a player from Yunxia?! How is that possible?!"
Everyone else has just entered the Ordovician period, so why is our boss still a five-meter-long sea scorpion?
The players in Yunxia have transformed into 100-meter-tall deep-sea titans?!
The truth came out.
There is no double-standard system boss at all, nor any natural disasters.
That thing terrified the entire Starsea Federation's top leadership, leading them to issue an Omega-level ban.
The behemoth that strikes fear into the hearts of players worldwide is, in fact, a living, breathing human being with the ID "Yunxia Experiencer"!
"Bang!"
The commander-in-chief of the Star Sea Federation slumped into his chair, his eyes glazed over.
It’s over.
If this monster is a natural disaster, then just avoid it.
But if it is Yunxia's player, it means that Yunxia has the absolute physical power to overturn the entire game board at any time in the first stage!
In the lecture hall of Jiang University, the atmosphere had reached its peak.
"Number one! We're number one in the world now!"
The students hugged each other, some laughing and crying at the same time.
The previous humiliation, repression, and panic vanished under the crushing weight of this million-point breakthrough.
Professor Lin took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, walked to the communications station, and connected to Yunxia's internal observer channel.
"Commanders, there's no need to hesitate any longer."
The old professor stood ramrod straight.
"Now, let's use the one million points we just acquired to fully unlock the tech tree!"
Max out all the gene branches with the energy points! Our Yunxia's counterattack officially begins!
……
Meanwhile, the Ordovician deep sea.
At the bottom of the "Abyss of Sighs," the seawater has already boiled.
Dark red magma gushed out from cracks in the earth's crust, instantly heating the surrounding seawater to over 100 degrees Celsius.
Large amounts of sulfur dioxide and toxic gases permeate the water; any ordinary organism that gets close will be cooked within seconds.
In the dark depths of the sea, a huge black shadow slowly descended.
Lei Dong's massive body, over 100 meters long, hovered above the crater.
He didn't open the system's points panel, nor did he bother to see how much of a sensation he had caused in the real world.
Just then, an extremely rare, even somewhat "humane" notification sound came through.
It exploded in the minds of all those who experienced Yunxia at the same time.
[Ding! Special Announcement from Earth Online!]
[It has been detected that the total score for the "Yunxia Region" has overflowed exponentially, severely disrupting the ecological balance of the first stage (Ordovician Period).]
[Hidden Mechanism Triggered: Players in the Yunxia region have met the 'Exceptional Clearance' requirements and can complete this stage's settlement early!]
Immediately afterwards, a multiple-choice question that made all Yunxia players' hearts stop skipping a beat popped up:
Please select your next action:
[A. Returning Home in Glory (Immediately upload your consciousness back to your physical body in the real world, and solidify the currently obtained genetic rewards and lifespan bonuses.)]
[B. Continue the conquest (remain on the prehistoric sandbox and continue hunting to challenge higher-dimensional life forms.)]
When this option appeared, the internal communication channel within Yunxia's headquarters remained silent for a full three seconds.
Professor Lin and the military commanders, staring at the newly drafted "Million-Point Expansion Plan," frantically shouted in the channel:
"Comrades! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for development!"
Don't give up yet, everyone! Stay and use your points to strengthen yourselves, don't just give up...
However, the higher-ups underestimated the psychological trauma these young people had just experienced in a prehistoric hell.
One second you're being chased and bitten by a sea scorpion, the next you're suddenly told:
I've cleared the beginner's village, time to take a paid vacation and go home!
Who can withstand this?!
[Yunxia Experiencer - 112 (Zhou Ming)]:
[Sorry, sir! I'm just a giant softshell turtle; staying here would only make me cannon fodder. I miss my mom. I choose A!]
【Yunxia Experiencer - 088 (Liu Bo)】:
[To hell with the prehistoric catastrophe! My college beauty wife, whom I was assigned in the real world, is still waiting for me at the Shanghai Grand Hotel! I'll choose A too!]
The army collapsed like a house of cards...
No, it's that I'm eager to go home!
No matter how earnestly those above tried to persuade them about the overall strategic situation, over 80% of the Yunxia experience participants pressed the "Return Home in Glory" button without hesitation.
Beams of azure light pierced through the dark seawater, enveloping the small fish and insects.
Their consciousness is being rapidly withdrawn, returning them to that safe and warm reality.
