Chapter 268 Battle Record System

On the high platform, Su Ze handed the microphone to Jiang Yuwan beside him.

Jiang Yuwan took the microphone, flipped to the next page of the record book, and her crisp voice spread through the loudspeaker across the entire Simulation Training Ground.

"Next, we will distribute the combat merit points rewards for this simulated defensive battle."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people in the listless formations below that hadn't reached the top three instantly pricked up their ears.

"First place, Third Floor team, each person is awarded one hundred combat merit points!"

"Second place, Xu Feng team, each person is awarded eighty combat merit points!"

"Third place, Ninth Floor team, each person is awarded sixty combat merit points!"

The players from the Third Floor and Xu Feng's side immediately erupted into cheers, and the researchers from the Ninth Floor were so excited they kept adjusting their glasses.

Jiang Yuwan didn't pause and continued reading.

"Fourth place, Tenth Floor Qiao Yunfeng team, each person is awarded forty combat merit points!"

"Fifth place, Fourth Floor Liu Yuanfang team, each person is awarded twenty combat merit points!"

Hearing his name, Qiao Yunfeng let out a long breath, and his tensed shoulders slumped.

Although he didn't get the Evil-Breaking Talisman and copper coins, at least he managed to get some combat merit points, which was still a form of encouragement.

Liu Yuanfang from the Fourth Floor also patted her chest, and the female players behind her high-fived each other in celebration.

Twenty points wasn't much, but it was better than returning empty-handed.

After reading this, Jiang Yuwan closed the record book in her hand.

"As for the formations from sixth place onwards, there are no rewards. Continue training at the Simulation Training Ground this afternoon."

A wail immediately erupted from the remaining formations below.

Zhuang Yi's face flushed red, and Lu Jiaming wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

One step slow, every step slow; the gap was clearly about to widen.

Jiang Yuwan opened a new page and tapped the microphone, suppressing the noise below.

"Quiet."

"Now, I will announce the specific exchange scope and consumption rules for combat merit points."

The tens of thousands of people in the audience instantly fell silent; this was a major matter concerning their own personal interests.

"The internal warehouse is officially open for exchange privileges starting today." Jiang Yuwan said in a steady tone, "The exchange list includes but is not limited to: high-quality food, pure water, fine or higher-grade weapons and equipment, various skill books, the Evil-Breaking Talisman demonstrated just now, special materials, and high-level blueprints."

"Each exchange will deduct the corresponding combat merit points from your personal account."

Someone in the crowd immediately started whispering.

"I feel like the combat merit points required for exchanges will be very high."

"Nonsense, of course you have to risk your life to trade for good things. But having something to look forward to is better than working blindly like before!"

Jiang Yuwan waited for the discussion below to die down for a few seconds before speaking again, dropping today's biggest bombshell.

"Exchanging for supplies will deduct combat merit points. However, for job promotions and management assessments, we only look at your 'Total Historical combat merit points'!"

"Even if you spend all the combat merit points you've earned, as long as the total amount meets the standard, you still retain the qualification for promotion!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of all the players in the venue turned red.

This rule was too humane!

There's no need to scrimp and save to accumulate points; strength and status can be improved simultaneously!

"The entry threshold for squad Leader positions on each floor and corresponding grassroots management positions is one thousand total historical combat merit points."

Jiang Yuwan paused slightly, her gaze sweeping across the ten Leaders in the front.

"As for challenging floor Leaders..."

"The threshold is five thousand total historical combat merit points!"

"Furthermore, challenges are not limited by floor. As long as your points meet the standard, you can go and challenge any floor's Leader and take their place!"

Boom!

The entire Simulation Training Ground completely exploded.

The emotions of tens of thousands of players, stimulated by these few sentences, climbed directly to their peak.

Cross-floor challenges!

The meaning represented by these words was too terrifying.

Originally, everyone thought that challenging Leaders was just internal competition within their own floor.

Now that the rules had changed, the entire Jinghai University force had turned into a huge breeding ground for the strongest!

Lu Jiaming felt his legs go weak, and the clothes on his back were instantly soaked with cold sweat.

As a bottom-tier Leader, he was now, in the eyes of experts on other floors, simply a piece of fatty meat exuding an enticing aroma!

Everyone knew his foundation was weak and his command ability was poor.

As soon as someone accumulated five thousand combat merit points, he would definitely be the first one they would target!

Zhuang Yi's expression didn't look too good either.

The old brothers from Taoyuan Residential Area under him were already relatively weak, and now that this rule was out, whether he could keep his position was a problem.

Compared to the panic of these two, Wang Meng, who stood at the very front, was so excited he was rubbing his hands together.

He turned his head and unreservedly sized up Lu Jiaming and Zhuang Yi; that look was just like watching two lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Wang Meng was calculating quickly in his mind.

The Third Floor took first place this time, and the thousands of brothers under him started with one hundred combat merit points each. This group was already daring and aggressive, and after the campus material search permission was opened in the afternoon, they would definitely be great at grabbing combat merit points.

Is it hard to save up five thousand points? To others, it's as hard as ascending to heaven, but for the few top confidants under Wang Meng, it's just a matter of spending a little more time!

If he let his own confidants take down the Leaders of other floors...

Wang Meng swallowed hard, his heart pounding.

By then, out of the ten floors of the entire Jinghai University, his Wang Meng faction could occupy several!

In this force, besides Boss Su Ze, who could be more glorious than him?

Where is this a crisis? This is clearly an excellent opportunity to expand territory and grow stronger!

The more Wang Meng thought about it, the more excited he became, even starting to calculate in his mind which confidants he should focus on cultivating to snatch positions.

On the high platform.

Su Ze took in the reactions of the ten Leaders below.

He saw Wang Meng's barely hidden ambition clearly.

If it were an ordinary Leader of a force, they would definitely not dare to set such a rule.

If the Leaders under them grew too big, colluded with each other, or even formed factions, the position of the boss would become unstable.

The usual approach is to create balance, let them check and balance each other, and not let anyone dominate alone.

But Su Ze didn't care about these at all.

Checks and balances? That's the political maneuvering that only the weak, who lack sufficient strength, need to play.

In this doomsday world, he possessed absolute, overwhelming combat power.

Even if Wang Meng really occupied all ten floors, as long as Su Ze said one word, he would still have to obey obediently.

Therefore, he was not afraid of the people below having big ambitions; on the contrary, he was afraid they had no ambitions.

Only when people are driven by desire will they work their lives away.

The more they compete, the higher the efficiency of the entire force in collecting supplies and clearing monsters.

What Su Ze wanted was an extremely sharp blade that could sweep away all obstacles for him, not a pile of blunt iron guarding against each other.

You want to grab territory? You want to be the boss?

Then go kill monsters, go search for supplies, and risk your life to trade for combat merit points!

"That's all the rules."

Su Ze took back the microphone and directly announced the end of the meeting.

"At one o'clock in the afternoon, the campus material search permission will be officially opened. Except for the designated absolute restricted zones, as for other places, how many supplies you can grab depends entirely on your own ability."
