63: Terror Points

The Hunter’s ability greatly enhances their perception, as well as their tracking and detection capabilities. Their team also lacks any anti-reconnaissance abilities.

Lin Ye’s Escape Void is truly powerful; he has mastered it.

When a Star Level skill reaches the proficient level, its effect is excellent, allowing one to enter the void for a short period of time.

It can also conceal one’s aura.

But he can’t conceal his teammates’ auras.

Fortunately, after dealing with the Si Mi Da Team, they can secretly make a fortune for a while longer.

The remaining time was uneventful, still just the mundane routine of eating, sleeping, and beating up the Blazing Dominator.

When the life-saving device provided by the organizers gave a reminder, everyone stopped their hunting, still wanting more.

“Wuwuwu, I can’t bear to leave this treasure trove,” Zhao Wenlong said reluctantly.

“Sigh, if only it could have lasted longer.”

“Indeed, indeed, why was the first round so short?”

“We won’t encounter such an opportunity again.”

However, the competition had ended, so there was no way to stay.

They could only be teleported back to the Star Gate.

At this time, many teams had already gathered in front of the Star Gate. Lin Ye counted them, and there was a significant reduction in numbers. There were only twenty-five intact teams, and more than ten scattered teams remaining.

He sighed inwardly, the Star Realm was indeed dangerous.

Although this time the high casualty rate was mainly due to the various teams snatching spoils from other teams, the dangers of this place also accounted for a certain proportion.

Blazing Dominators are very strong exotic beasts. Although they are homebodies and not united, making their danger level very low, more than ten teams were still eliminated due to carelessness, and one or two were even completely knocked out.

After all, they are exotic beasts of challenge level two, which, in a professional arena, would be even stronger than Chen Ou.

Then came the spoils counting segment.

When Lin Ye took out their spoils, there was a deathly silence below.

The staff looked at Lin Ye as if they had seen a ghost, as he pulled out fiery cores the size of basketballs from his spatial storage.

“Is something wrong?” Lin Ye asked, though he was secretly overjoyed.

“Oh, oh, no problem. A total of 85 Seventh-Tier fiery cores, 10 Sixth-Tier fiery cores, plus the spoils from the Si Mi Da Team you eliminated, which is 24 Sixth-Tier fiery cores. You have a total of 2159 points.”

One Sixth-Tier core is one point, and a Seventh-Tier is 25 points.

The competition staff were very nice, a white man who spoke multiple languages.

Lin Ye was satisfied, “Since the statistics are complete, I’ll take them back.”

The staff member nodded mechanically.

Lin Ye put away his spoils and also retrieved the Si Mi Da Team’s cores that were stored with the staff member; even a small mosquito has meat.

When he returned to his team, the crowd below erupted.

“Baka, how does this team have so many fiery cores? They must have cheated.”

“Father in Heaven, what have I seen?”

“Heaven-sent, they are even more fierce than us.”

“Helena, we need to be careful of this team. What were they called again? Divine Stone.”

...

Lin Ye and his team stood tall and proud. Although it was just extremely good luck, luck is also a part of strength.

As expected, no team that followed had a higher score than them.

The strongest Avengers Alliance, even combined, only hunted thirty Seventh-Tier ones, for a total of 750 points.

Teams without two dominant combat powers like the Avengers Alliance had even lower scores, working themselves to death to slaughter twenty or thirty Sixth-Tier ones, getting only twenty or thirty points. Those who plundered more did get seventy or eighty points.

The main reason was that the gap between Seventh-Tier fiery cores and Sixth-Tier ones was too large, and without dominant combat power, it was simply impossible to hunt Seventh-Tier ones.

If Lin Ye and his team hadn’t been lucky, they probably would have only gotten thirty or forty points, or perhaps seventy or eighty if they picked fights with a few teams.

Among the top ten teams in this competition, all except the Si Mi Da Team made it into the top 16.

What surprised Lin Ye was that four teams from Xia Country made it, naturally the old top three plus their Prosperity team.

Back on Blue Star.

The military logistics group enthusiastically welcomed the Prosperity team.

Prosperity’s performance this time was too good. Although luck was the main reason, their meticulous observation skills and their decision-making to feign weakness and then ambush made Prosperity completely explode across the internet.

Countless netizens wailed, all wanting to rub off on Prosperity’s luck.

Lin Ye checked the online comments.

“Prosperity, don’t be so outrageous, just picking up money, right? Wuwuwu, I’m so jealous.”

“That’s how you deal with the little West Eights, hahaha, Prosperity is too cunning.”

“I’ve become a fan, I’ve become a fan. Lin Ye is simply dark-bellied. When I saw him being so respectful, I wanted to hit him, but I didn’t expect him to play dirty. I like it, hehehe.”

The comments from foreign netizens were pretty much the same, except for the angry comments from the A-Xi-Ba netizens.

“Rigged, rigged, this team is too shameless.”

“Si Mi Da Team, what are you doing? You are the hope of our great West Eight.”

“I told you not to let women lead the team. Feminists get out of West Eight Country.”

Lin Ye’s eyes were opened. It was said that gender antagonism was very severe in A-Xi-Ba Country, almost leading to its destruction three hundred years ago. Later, the era of abilities began, the situation was turbulent, and only after a major reshuffle did fertility stabilize.

He didn’t expect the gender antagonism to still be so severe now.

However, seeing the A-Xi-Ba people unhappy, the Xia Country people and Yamato people were overjoyed.

Although it was hard to understand why two brothers from the same father would fight amongst themselves, the relationship between A-Xi-Ba and Yamato had always been very tense.

Many Yamato people even became fans of their team because of this.

With the help of their accompanying staff, the other teams also understood why Prosperity’s record was so good, and they were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Unfortunately, the Si Mi Da Team had quietly returned to their country upon being eliminated, leaving only some personnel to handle follow-up matters; otherwise, they would have liked to see their expressions.

Back at the Te Kao Pu Hotel.

Everyone took out their spoils, thinking about how to sell and divide the loot.

A representative sent by the military discussed with them. After all, fiery cores and the ability seeds of the Blazing Dominator were scarce resources, so the Xia Country government wanted to acquire them and not let the Beautiful Country benefit.

Lin Ye and his team naturally agreed, and the official price was very reasonable, even significantly higher than the market price.

Divided equally, each person received a staggering 1.5 billion.

The entire Prosperity team erupted.

“Wuwuwu, 1.5 billion! It would take me three years of professional play to earn that much back,” Chen Ou said, tears streaming down his face.

He was the highest-paid professional player on the team, earning 500 million a year, including bonuses.

“Captain, you can earn it back in three years, but I can’t. It would take me fifteen years.” This was Zhao Wenlong; he was much worse than Chen Ou and currently had the lowest income on the team.

Wang Mengmeng and Bai Zhiqing were also incredibly excited.

Lin Ye sighed, a sudden windfall, no, that’s not right, he was already very rich.

He calculated his assets, not counting debts, he already had 3.5 billion.

His salary was very high, and after his combat power surged, his salary was also raised to Chen Ou’s level, but it had always been used to repay Bai Zhiqing’s loan.

Sometimes, you really only need one wave, and your wealth can skyrocket.

After a day of rest, the remaining matches were about to begin.
