However, what Chen Fan didn’t know was that a few hours earlier, when he brought back his first prey, the chat group of Entry Force Martial Artists in the association exploded.
"Damn! Did I see that right? That martial artist from the Anshan City Branch, his contribution points increased again? And it went up to 10 million?" said a martial artist named Gao Wei.
"What did you say? Ten million?"
"Are you joking?"
"You won’t believe it unless you see it for yourself. Check it out."
"No need, I’ve got a screenshot." Someone said and posted a picture.
In the picture, Chen Fan had already jumped from fourth to second place with ten million contribution points, stepping over both the former second and third place holders.
At the same time, the number of fierce beasts killed had increased from 2 to 3.
For a moment, everyone who witnessed this scene in the group was stunned.
"If I remember correctly, he only killed two high-level fierce beasts this morning, right? It’s only been a few hours? He killed another one?"
"I was about to ask the same question. He just finished lunch, and his contribution points skyrocketed by another 2.5 million?"
"This Chen Fan, isn’t he terrifying?"
Someone couldn’t help but say, "Wang Hao’s contribution points are just below 12 million, and this Chen Fan, in less than a day, surged to 10 million. Do you think he might push Wang Hao off the top spot?"
As soon as these words came out, the group fell into silence.
"Maybe it’s possible? Wang Hao’s team may be strong, but they can’t kill a high-level fierce beast every day, right? Where did this Chen Fan come from, killing three in one day? Even if all the martial artists in the Anshan City Branch went out, they couldn’t do that."
"Yeah, I used to suspect that the Anshan City Branch was putting all the credit on one person, but now it seems unlikely."
"If they were really that capable, they wouldn’t have been at the bottom for two consecutive years."
Little did they know that several martial artists from the Anshan City Branch were also lurking in the group, getting infuriated by those comments.
"These guys are too insulting, aren’t they?" Xu Jie gritted his teeth.
"Aren’t they just stating the obvious?" Fan Sui quietly said.
"Fan Sui, whose side are you on? Why are you helping the other branches?"
"Exactly, you’re boosting their morale and crushing our own spirit," the Zhao Brothers said angrily.
"Alright, that’s enough."
Gao Shan mediated, "From some perspective, this also clears up misunderstandings, doesn’t it."
"Look quickly, the rankings have changed," Tu Yue pointed at the big screen in front of them.
Everyone looked up.
They saw Wang Hao at the top, with his contribution points suddenly skyrocketing by 3.5 million, almost reaching 16 million.
The gap between him and second place, which was initially 2 million, had increased to nearly 4 million.
"It seems that not only is Brother Chen Fan striving to catch up, but others are also working hard to widen the gap," Gao Shan sighed.
"Yeah, it’s obvious that Wang Hao’s team has passed all their contribution points to him," Xu Jie said, feeling indignant.
"Sigh, in such situations, one party is willing to take it, and the association can’t investigate everything."
"True, let’s see if Brother Chen Fan can catch up."
The group also noticed the changes.
Contrary to the attitude of the Anshan City Branch, most people were overjoyed.
"Look, Wang Hao’s contribution points are close to 16 million!"
"Wow, an impressive 6 million point gap. That guy would need to kill two more high-level fierce beasts just to catch up. Two high-level fierce beasts, can you believe it!"
"Two? Haha, if he manages to kill one more in the next two days, we’d thank the heavens. Does he think high-level fierce beasts are as common as cabbages on the roadside?"
"Look, Cheng Wei’s ranking has also gone up!"
Someone posted a screenshot.
Originally in third place with 9 million contribution points, Cheng Wei had suddenly jumped to 12 million, moving up to second place.
As for Chen Fan, who was in second place, he was naturally pushed down to third.
"What the hell is going on? Did Cheng Wei’s side also have a harvest?"
"It looks like their team is giving all their contribution points to one person, just like Wang Hao’s team."
"Everyone’s giving it their all."
Everyone held their breath and watched the rankings.
Although Cheng Wei was now in second place, there was still a significant gap between him and Wang Hao. Unless he could hunt a high-level fierce beast each day for the next two days, it would be difficult to catch up.
Besides, Wang Hao’s team wasn’t just sitting around either.
Going by the current situation, there seemed to be no suspense about who would end up in first place.
"I wonder if Chu Qiao’s contribution points will go up," someone said.
"Probably. Wang Hao and that Chen Fan both had gains, Chu Qiao’s team won’t just sit by idly. Just wait, his contribution points will rise soon enough."
"Definitely."
Many people agreed.
Although it wasn’t explicitly said, deep down, they didn’t want Chen Fan to get into the top three.
If they had to give a reason, it was probably just because they found it unpleasant.
Ten minutes,
Twenty minutes,
A half-hour passed,
There were no changes at the top of the rankings.
This was normal; after all, it usually took martial artists two to three days to hunt a high-level fierce beast. Running into one was easy, but killing it was a matter of luck.
With bad luck, they might not only fail to kill it but also face casualties.
Time flew, and another ten or twenty minutes passed.
People in the group chatted casually.
"It’s changed! It’s changed!"
Suddenly, these words popped up in the group, bewildering everyone, and then a screenshot appeared.
Everyone stared at it and gasped.
They saw that Chen Fan, who was previously third, had his contribution points rise again to 13 million, returning to second place.
As a result, Cheng Wei was naturally pushed back to third.
The contribution points for the fourth place, Chu Qiao, remained unchanged.
"This, this..."
Someone couldn’t believe their eyes. "How did Chen Fan’s points go up again? They’re at 13 million?"
"Isn’t the conclusion obvious? His number of kills went from three to four, which means he killed another high-level fierce beast within the last hour."
"What the hell!"
Someone burst out swearing.
Killing one in an hour?
Is this guy even human?
"Director Du, did this Chen Fan really kill two high-level fierce beasts this afternoon?" Someone couldn’t help but tag Du Song.
Others, seeing this, stopped typing.
A few seconds later, Du Song replied, "Yes, the first was a Shadow Cat, worth 2.5 million points. The second was the Gale Wolf King, worth 3 million points, totaling 5.5 million."
"I know it’s hard to accept this, but honestly, I was also surprised. By the way, here are some photos for you to see."
He posted two pictures of the Shadow Cat and the Gale Wolf King, showing their wounds.
"These are from the morning."
He posted two more pictures, one of a Violent Bear and one of a Gray-spotted Snake.
Wang Hao and his team were also resting at the base, looking at the pictures posted in the group.
"Brother Wang, if this continues, won’t we be overtaken by this kid?"
"No way, right? High-level fierce beasts are not easy to deal with," someone else said. When they dealt with the Gale Wolf King earlier, if Wang Hao hadn’t saved him at the critical moment, his chest would have been pierced.
Wang Hao stared at the leaderboard.
He also felt the pressure, even having the absurd thought that in an hour, this Chen Fan guy might increase his contribution points again.
But he didn’t dare take his team out hunting again.
Typically, hunting once a day was considered high frequency because every outing was a brush with death. Frequent attempts would eventually lead to mishaps.
More importantly, the three of them had just returned from hunting. If they went out again, their physical and mental condition would be far from optimal, exponentially increasing the risks.
"Let’s rest first."
He glanced at his teammates. Rankings were important, but life was even more precious.
Besides, it wasn’t certain that Chen Fan could catch up.
Although the possibility seemed low.
At another base,
Cheng Wei and his team looked at the leaderboard with resentful expressions.
"What’s with this Chen Fan? Is he specifically targeting us?"
"This is too much. Brother Cheng, why don’t we go hunting again? We must push Chen Fan down!"
"Agreed!"
"Don’t be impulsive."
Cheng Wei smiled wryly, "Honestly, making it into the top three already satisfies me. Let Chen Fan and Wang Hao compete for first place."
"Brother Cheng?"
Cheng Wei waved his hand, saying, "One should learn to be content. And I have a feeling that 13 million contribution points may not be Chen Fan’s limit. Remember the time intervals? I guess his points will increase again in an hour."
"Increase again!"
"If they increase again, won’t he be very close to Wang Hao? Does he plan to compete for first place?"
"Impossible, right? It can’t be that easy."
His teammates expressed disbelief.
"I’m just guessing."
Cheng Wei smiled, looking at the big screen.
Almost an hour later,
The leaderboard changed once again.
Chen Fan, who was in second place, saw his contribution points surge by 3 million, pushing Wang Hao down and taking first place.
The number of fierce beasts killed also increased from four to five.
At that moment, all the martial artists watching the screen were stunned.
In their minds, one thought echoed,
This Chen Fan, got first place?
