Chapter 184: Chapter 183 Meridian Refining Martial Artist (Request for Subscription)
In the group chat, Du Song sent out another message with pictures.
However,
One or two minutes passed, and no one said anything.
"What’s wrong?"
Xu Jie typed, "Has everyone gone silent? Weren’t there many people doubting Brother Chen Fan’s strength this morning? Why isn’t anyone speaking now? Keep doubting, huh?"
Everyone who saw this message was infuriated.
But they couldn’t refute.
Because the proof was right in front of them.
Saying that the headquarters favored the Anshan City Branch was even more baseless.
"Also," Xu Jie continued to show off, "you guys said that our Anshan City Branch attributed all the achievements to one person. Laughable. We’ve all been staying at the base since the beginning; we haven’t left at all. If you don’t believe it, ask HQ to check the surveillance.
If you ask me, the current second and third place are the ones who’ve attributed their whole team’s achievements to one person, right?"
Once this message was sent out, everyone in front of their screens wanted to go through the network and give him a beating.
Especially Wang Hao and the few people around Cheng Wei, who were even more enraged.
But they couldn’t refute, as this was something obvious to anyone with eyes.
"Alright, Xu Jie," Tu Yue rolled her eyes and said, "they didn’t provoke you, so why say all this?"
"Yes, Xu Jie, quickly take those words back, don’t set up Brother Chen for hostility." Gao Shan chimed in.
"Fine, I was just impulsive, got angry remembering how they mocked our branch this morning," Xu Jie grumbled, retracting his last statement.
"We admit, your Anshan City Branch’s Chen Fan is indeed impressive, but there are still two days left in the month. You don’t think he’s secured first place, do you?"
"That’s right, the game’s not over. Let’s see who wins in the end."
"Don’t get too smug, be careful not to capsize."
Everyone added their comments in succession.
"Alright, then we’ll just wait and see," Xu Jie replied, not willing to back down, especially since he had faith in Chen Fan’s strength.
The group chat fell silent again.
Almost everyone started to focus on the top few names on the leaderboard, or more specifically, on Chen Fan.
In less than an hour, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Chen Fan’s contribution points suddenly surged by 4 million, reaching 19 million points!
Everyone in front of their screens had their mouths wide open, their throats seemingly stuck.
Someone even checked the time.
Yes, it had been less than an hour since the last change.
"Brother Cheng, what’s this?"
Several people looked at Cheng Wei, too shocked to speak.
"I just got lucky," Cheng Wei forced a bitter smile, "At this rate, his contribution points might continue to rise in an hour."
"Continue to rise..."
This time, no one doubted it. They looked at the screen and licked their lips.
If it continues to rise, his contribution points might reach 20 million, right?
If memory serves, the highest score an Entry Force Martial Artist had ever had in a monthly ranking was just over 20 million?
An hour later, Chen Fan’s contribution points surged another 3 million, reaching 22 million, breaking the record.
Du Song again added the picture evidence, but the group chat remained silent.
"Brother Wang."
A Martial Artist looked at the screen, then at Wang Mang, swallowing hard.
A 6 million point gap, that’s like the difference caused by two high-level Fierce Beasts.
With only two days left, could they really do it?
Wang Hao remained silent.
A sense of powerlessness rose within him.
Even if in the next two days he had a burst of luck and hunted two high-level Fierce Beasts, would this Chen Fan just watch and let himself be overtaken?
If it were him, he wouldn’t allow it either.
Moreover, Chen Fan’s speed at hunting high-level Fierce Beasts was too astounding?
Was he really a Transforming Force Martial Artist?
The sky had already darkened.
The leaderboard hadn’t changed.
Everyone in front of their screens unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed Chen Fan’s hunting had paused for the day?
Although everyone thought so, they still didn’t dare to relax, as the hour was almost up.
At that moment, Chen Fan’s contribution points on the leaderboard suddenly surged by 7 million, from 22 million to 29 million!
Even more shocking was that the number of high-level Fierce Beasts hunted had increased from 5 to 7.
Everyone in front of the screen felt as if they had been struck by lightning, stunned in place.
Two high-level Fierce Beasts?
This guy, had actually hunted two high-level Fierce Beasts this time?
Someone, still in disbelief, looked at the group.
Soon, Du Song sent out two pictures, one of a Mad Lion Dog and one of a Gray-spotted Snake.
"Hiss..."
Even Wang Hao took a deep breath at that moment.
How terrifying was this strength?
Wasn’t it said that if you meet a high-level Fierce Beast, you had to fight to the death, and if you encounter something like a Violent Bear, you would retreat as fast as possible?
As for two high-level Fierce Beasts?
Whether it’s hunting one and encountering another or encountering two at the same time, it’s extremely dangerous. A single mistake could lead to the team being wiped out!
But this Chen Fan, he could actually hunt two in one go?
"Let’s give up on the first place," Wang Hao smiled bitterly, "This time, let’s just aim to keep second place."
The other two looked at each other and nodded helplessly.
If giving up isn’t an option, what else can we do? We can’t compete.
Not just Wang Hao and his group, Cheng Wei, Chu Qiao, and others also looked at the screen in silence.
million contribution points!
In their best month, they hadn’t even reached 20 million, and now they were just over 10 million. With only two days left, how could they reach an additional 16 million points?
Better to give up on dreaming about first place and aim for the top three instead. More realistic.
"Chen Fan has returned to the camp, today’s hunting is over. Also, be cautious while hunting high-level Fierce Beasts, don’t act recklessly," Du Song advised, placing his phone on the desk and exhaling deeply.
The Anshan City Branch seems to have gotten an incredible guy, right? But as an Entry Force Martial Artist, his combat power was already comparable to an Early Stage Meridian Refining Martial Artist?
What will his performance be like once he reaches the Meridian Refining Realm?
In the group chat, everyone responded, acknowledging the message, and stopped talking about anything else.
Many were intensely embarrassed.
They had previously told people from the Anshan City Branch not to get cocky, as there were still two days left, and no one knew who the top spot would belong to.
Then reality gave them a hard slap.
million contribution points, even if Chen Fan did nothing but stayed at the base eating and waiting to die for the next two days, no one could surpass him, right?
Not to mention if he goes out hunting again, wouldn’t the contribution points surge towards 50 or 60 million?
"These guys."
Xu Jie glanced at the group chat, grinning, "Earlier when the chairman said that 7.5 million contribution points were just the beginning for Chen Fan, they all mocked loudly. Now that Chen Fan’s points are close to 30 million, everyone has gone silent."
"Can you stop mocking them," Tu Yue glared at him.
After all, they were just bystanders in the whole situation.
"Don’t worry, I’m not stupid," Xu Jie closed his phone and sighed, "Chen Fan has really earned our branch a lot of face."
"Yeah, if not for him, our branch wouldn’t even make a mark among the 20 or 30 branches, and even if it did, it’d be a negative one."
"I bet the chairman is so happy, he won’t be able to sleep tonight."
"Most likely."
In fact, as they had predicted, Sun Wei sat in his office beaming, feeling an overwhelming sense of relief and triumph.
While very happy, there was also a hint of sadness.
He had a gut feeling that Chen Fan might not stay here for long.
"By the way, Brother Chen should be back now. I wonder what the commerce faction is up to. I should go check."
He stood up and walked out.
...
Rewind to a few minutes ago.
"Brother Chen, did your contribution points get credited?"
Lin Hui, who had just finished a call with HQ, asked with a smile.
"Yes, they did, thank you, Brother Lin," Chen Fan replied quickly. He glanced at his account; the previously cleared points had surged to nearly 26 million.
Based on the price for high-level Fierce Beasts, it should only be just over 22 million.
But since the number reached three, he got a 10% bonus, and if it surpasses five, he gets 15%, for ten or more, it’s 20%, and that’s the cap.
"26 million..."
Chen Fan pondered. If he spent it on Top-grade Qi Blood Pills, he could buy 260 pills, worth 20.8 million Potential Points!
What if he spent it all on herbs?
At 20,000 per herb, without discounts, he could buy 1,300 portions. Even if each yielded ten Top-grade Qi Blood Pills, that would be 1.5 billion Potential Points!
That’s 7 to 8 times more!
Not only that, his Experience Points, which only had a few dozen left, had now increased to over 5,000.
What a yield.
"Brother Chen, you really pushed yourself today. I think you should rest well for the next two days. Rest assured, the top spot this month will be yours," Lin Hui said sincerely.
He mainly worried about Chen Fan’s safety.
"Alright, I’ll take a break then," Chen Fan smiled.
He would probably be busy tomorrow and the day after.
Because once the herbs arrive, he needs to do alchemy. While getting more contribution, potential, and experience points is good, he needed to transform them into his strength quickly.
"Good." Lin Hui nodded, feeling relieved.
Chen Fan is still quite reasonable, he thought.
Just then, hurried footsteps sounded.
Two or three Martial Artists ran over, their faces full of panic. "Brother Lin, something’s wrong, the commerce faction is here. They look like they’re coming this way."
"What?" Lin Hui was shocked.
Chen Fan was also taken aback.
The commerce faction came over?
Heading here?
Outside, hurried footsteps echoed, and a group of more than ten people appeared in sight.
The leader was a tall man with a prominent raised forehead, narrow eyes, giving an extremely deep and unfathomable feeling.
And behind him was Lu Yang.
Chen Fan squinted his eyes immediately.
This leader felt very different from the others, probably a Meridian Refining Martial Artist.
