Grand Regional Leaderboard

“This is definitely worth paying attention to. Is Black Feather the only faction in our partition now?”

“Angry Crow and Dark Star have a grudge, right? She surely isn't attacking all factions indiscriminately, right?”

“Even if she were attacking everyone, so what? Now that Black Feather is the only one left in our Partition 12, is she going to go on a killing spree and slap herself in the face?”

“Did you miss the system's morning announcement? If the Lord’s Tokens brought out aren't used, they'll all expire. How long do you think those big shots are going to wait to establish their factions?”

As soon as this message was sent, a partition announcement regarding faction establishment popped up.

【The regional faction “Don't Look Anymore” has been successfully established! The leader is “Qian Xun”!】

This message seemed to open the floodgates for faction creation, as several notifications followed immediately:

【The regional faction “Every Day Is Good” has been successfully established! The leader is “Hao Hao”!】

【The regional faction “Dragon Soul” has been successfully established! The leader is “Jing Shui Liu Shen”!】

【The regional faction “Slacking Headquarters” has been successfully established! The leader is “Master of Slacking”!】

.......

The notification chimes rang out more than a dozen times.

Cheng Shuili was initially confused about where so many Lord’s Tokens came from, but once she realized that players who participated in elite-level dungeons could also bring them out, it didn't seem strange anymore.

Many people died in the hell-level and epic-level dungeons last time, but that wasn't the case for the elite-level.

According to Black Feather members, the last dungeon was like a field trip, with shelters everywhere...

Thinking of this, Cheng Shuili couldn't help but sigh again.

No matter what the other difficulty levels of the dungeons were like, the hell-level always lived up to its name.

Cheng Shuili shook her head and her gaze fell on the IDs of these faction leaders.

Most of them were people from the leaderboards, except for this faction called “Dragon Soul.”

Cheng Shuili had checked both leaderboards and hadn't seen this name, Jing Shui Liu Shen. He wasn't even in the top 100. What was his goal in establishing a faction?

It was no wonder Cheng Shuili thought this way.

The prerequisite for establishing a faction was owning territory, and all territories were time-limited.

The Territory Proof Cheng Shuili possessed, which could make territory permanent, was a unique item.

It was the only one on the entire server!

Not to mention people who hadn't even seen it, even if Cheng Shuili wanted to get another one, she couldn't.

Without a faction, territory would simply expire, but once a faction was established, you had to renew it after it expired. Of course, you couldn't just renew it by saying a few words or completing a simple procedure.

It required submitting supplies.

And for someone not on the leaderboard, Cheng Shuili certainly had reason to doubt whether they had enough supplies.

To establish a faction without a foundation meant they were either a fool or had a reason they were forced to do so.

Anyone who could survive until now definitely wasn't a fool, which meant there must be a story behind this person.

Cheng Shuili hadn't been interested at first, but she saw news about Dragon Soul as soon as she opened her private messages.

【Qingshan Trek】: The leader of Dragon Soul is from the previous organization. It’s Uncle Li. I didn't expect him to establish a faction after all.

Uncle Li?

Cheng Shuili hadn't heard of this person, but she knew a little bit about the situation of the organization.

Establishing a faction now... was it to turn the tide?

But... was it useful?

This was a question Old Li must have pondered as well.

Cheng Shuili’s answer was that it was not only useless, but the already fractured organization would also drag the founder of the faction into the abyss.

Old Li must have realized this as well.

To know that something is impossible and yet do it anyway—it was truly admirable.

But if it was just to numb himself, to let himself sink into the dream of former glory...

Cheng Shuili sighed and stopped thinking about it. It was enough to know what was going on.

In addition to the news that “Lord’s Tokens will expire if not used within two days,” Cheng Shuili had missed quite a few other messages.

She directly tapped Jiang Tang’s private chat and asked her to summarize what the system had said.

As for why it was her...

That was obviously because everyone else was either still asleep or busy.

And since she was the youngest among them, she could be said to be exceptionally well-behaved.

For instance, only Jiang Tang would listen to the system’s long-winded announcements from start to finish without doing anything else.

So, she was naturally the best candidate to be a repeater!

【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: The system said that starting this week, it will begin ranking the grand regions.

Grand regional leaderboard?

Cheng Shuili raised her eyelids.

Well, now they’re starting to rank the entire grand region together, and later on, it will definitely be all players on the server ranked together.

So that means...

Cheng Shuili twitched the corner of her mouth. That Fengyun Tianxia who tried to assassinate her really had quite the foresight.

But, sorry about that.

Whether it was the partition's top rank, the grand region's top rank, or the entire server's top rank, it would definitely be her, Angry Crow Takes Flight.

Cheng Shuili told Jiang Tang to continue.

【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: It said our partition’s previous leaderboards were too rigid. Those big shots in the front, especially you, Boss, have occupied the top spot since the server opened, immovable like a mountain! In some other partitions, the top five have basically never changed. The system said this might be a problem with our partition's strength, or maybe the big shots are just too strong... Anyway, once the grand regional leaderboard opens, it will be clear at a glance!

【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: The grand regional leaderboard only tracks the top 500 players in a grand region. The ranking is based on a total score calculated from a player’s mileage and wealth. Plus, the rewards are distributed separately every month, which is definitely much better than the rewards for the partition leaderboard!

Hearing this, Cheng Shuili opened the regional channel and took a look.

Although this grand regional leaderboard had nothing to do with the vast majority of people, that didn't stop them from discussing it endlessly.

“Grand regional leaderboard?! Monthly rewards?! This, this, this... does this mean we have a chance to see where Angry Crow ranks among the big shots of the entire grand region?”

“Wake up, are you looking to see where Angry Crow ranks? You should be looking to see if Angry Crow will just air-drop into the number one spot of the grand region!”

“Hard to say... other partitions must have monsters too, right? But I believe Angry Crow will definitely be at the top!”

“Only ranking the top 500... how many from our partition can get in? Besides Angry Crow, Qian Xun, Hao Hao, and that Broken Iron who just died—if he were still alive... I guess he could have made it, right?”

“Hahaha, exciting! I wonder what expression the big shots from other partitions will have when they see Angry Crow’s stats?”

“What else could it be? It must be the same as us right now, shouting, ‘Where did this hacker come from?’”

“Speaking of which, just after Dark Star disappeared, so many new factions popped up, and now they’re opening a grand regional leaderboard... I feel like this godforsaken place is getting more and more cutthroat.”
