Chapter 50 ranked 1nd
It was a little past four in the afternoon.
Beside the bushes, Jiang Wu stood panting in front of the corpse of a level nine mutated beast, holding a battle sword, his clothes stained red with blood.
Just then, a girl walked over and said, "Jiang Wu, it's about time to go back. Your contribution has increased by more than 800 points today, so first place should be secure."
Jiang Wu smiled and said, "It's fortunate that you guys helped me today, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find so many mutated creatures on my own."
"It's okay, we're all friends."
"You are welcome."
The other two boys waved, signaling to Jiang Wu not to worry.
As Chen Zheng had predicted, Jiang Wu also approached his close classmates last night, and together more than ten people helped him search for mutated creatures.
Unfortunately, due to their limited strength, they had to abandon both mutated beast groups they discovered; otherwise, his contribution today would have exceeded 1,500.
At the foot of another hillside, Li Hengchuan, who ranked third, wiped the blood from his face and looked at the smoking cave exit ahead.
Beside him lay a pile of mutated creature corpses.
After waiting a while longer and confirming that no mutated creatures had emerged, Li Hengchuan opened his personal terminal: "Brothers, we can stop now."
A few minutes later, four boys ran over from the other side of the hillside.
"Haha... Hengchuan, now that you've killed all these mutated creatures, plus the contributions you made earlier, you've earned over nine hundred contributions today, right?"
Li Hengchuan smiled and nodded: "It's more than nine hundred. I just calculated it, and with the mutated creatures killed earlier, the contribution is already close to one thousand."
"With so many, then you should be first in the trial."
Li Hengchuan smiled broadly: "I'm lucky today. I encountered such a large group of mutated porcupines. Although they are only level four, there are more than a hundred of them."
"But I also have to thank you guys. If you hadn't blocked the other entrances and set up traps to smoke these boars out from underground, I wouldn't have been able to kill them all."
"Let's go back, I'll treat you to dinner at the night market tonight."
"Brother Li is generous."
On the vast plain, more than 10,000 rune students rushed back to their respective teleportation points.
When Chen Zheng, Bai Su, and Xu Hui returned to the meeting point, it was almost six o'clock, and many male students greeted them.
"Chen Zheng, are you confident of winning first place?"
Chen Zheng smiled and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it's a sure thing."
"Haha... Well done, Class 9 is in first place now."
"Thanks a lot for your help today, brothers."
"You're welcome. Although we've helped you find a large number of mutated creatures, it's still up to you to kill them."
"That's right, without you we wouldn't have been able to discover those mutated creatures."
"Tsk, how did you train? You only broke through to the ninth level of martial artist a few days ago, but your combat power is so abnormal."
"Yeah, we've all seen the video Zhou Zhi filmed. Holy crap, you killed that huge mutated elephant with just two slashes."
"If it were me, my legs would probably go weak just getting close, let alone fighting."
Chen Zheng said modestly, "I was fine at the time, I was just thinking about rushing up and killing it, but after I finished, I felt a little scared, and my hands were shaking a bit."
They were all young people in their early twenties, not very calculating, and through this trial and cooperation, they all became familiar with each other.
Last semester, we were freshmen and under a lot of academic pressure. Everyone was studying hard and had no chance to communicate except for forming a small circle with a few close friends.
At this moment, Song Hui interrupted everyone: "Alright, everyone stand still and get ready to go back."
Boom! A white beam of light descended from the sky, and everyone vanished.
At the guild hall and teleportation platform, Chen Zheng and the others took a deep breath, suppressing the nausea surging within them.
"Let's go eat."
"I'm starving! I'm going to eat five bowls!"
"You're so hungry, didn't you bring some fast food?"
"That little bit of food isn't enough to eat..."
Shortly after six o'clock, Chen Zheng, Jiang Mo, and the others followed the crowd out of the clubhouse. The setting sun cast its rays, and the silver leaves of the hemlock trees along the roadside shimmered in the sunlight.
Li Tang, carrying her battle sword, was somewhat dazed: "The trial is over just like that?"
Bai Su nodded and said softly, "It's over."
"These past three days have felt like a dream."
Jiang Mo waved the longsword in his hand: "Speaking of which, when I encountered that mutated black wolf on the first day I went in, I wasn't even afraid."
Chen Zheng smiled and said, "The reason is simple: the class monitor was behind you at the time."
Li Tang blushed slightly, and Jiang Mo was also a little embarrassed, so he quickly changed the subject: "Chen Zheng, you're even more impressive."
"It was their first trial, and not only were they not afraid of the mutated creatures, they even rushed up and took down four of them with just two strikes."
"If I calculate it all, you've killed over two hundred mutated creatures in the past few days, right?"
"almost."
"He's a ruthless killer."
"Uh... please don't use metaphors randomly." Chen Zheng was speechless.
As they were talking, the group arrived at the cafeteria. After queuing up for their food, the students from Class 9 sat in a group, with boys and girls sitting together, and then looked at the large screen in the cafeteria.
At this moment, not only they, but all the students in the entire cafeteria were paying attention to the rankings.
"The rankings are out."
"The number one in the martial arts department is still Qian Jin. Holy crap, he has over 14,000 contribution points. That's insane. He gained over 7,000 points in just one day."
At this moment, another student exclaimed, "Wait! Zhang Ruo, who was in second place, has been overtaken by Cheng Feng! How many mutated creatures did he kill today?"
"Fifth place has also been overtaken; it's Chen Ye, who was seventh yesterday, with a total contribution of over 12,100."
The competition in the martial arts department was thrilling for many students. The top ten students all contributed more than 10,000 points, which is equivalent to more than 10,000 credits.
If you calculate it in terms of purchasing power, it's over a million. Thinking about this, even Chen Zheng couldn't help but marvel at the school's generosity.
Fortunately, he also gained a lot this time.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the large screen quickly refreshed, and the joint ranking of liberal arts students appeared.
"First Place: Chen Zheng, 1976 Contribution Points"
"We've won first place!" Many students in Class 9 erupted in cheers. Qin Yue even slammed his hands on the table and stood up, startling Zhou Zhi who was next to him.
"Damn, Chen Zheng, who's in first place, contributed over 1900 points. I remember he contributed over 700 yesterday, right?"
"791, an increase of 1185 points."
"Jiang Wu is second place, contributing 1753. Today's increase is over 900, which is double that of yesterday. Unfortunately, he ran into Chen Zheng."
"The third place is actually Li Hengchuan, with a contribution of 1742, only 11 points behind Jiang Wu."
"Damn, aren't we liberal arts students? How come these guys are all so strong? The top ten on the list have all contributed over a thousand."
"These guys are too freakish, especially Chen Zheng, who's in first place. Didn't he just break through to the ninth level of martial arts a few days ago?"
In the canteens of the Rune and Materials departments, everyone was talking about Chen Zheng when they saw that he was number one on the list. In addition, some people in the Martial Arts department also noticed him.
Chu Ya looked up in astonishment at the big screen: "Chen Ye, your brother got first place in the liberal arts list!?"
Beside Chu Ya, the very pretty Zhang Ruo asked in surprise, "Xiao Ya, is Chen Zheng, the top student in the humanities, your brother Chen Ye?"
Chen Ye, sitting opposite him, nodded: "Yes, he's my brother."
The boy next to Chen Ye turned his head and exclaimed in surprise, "Twins?"
"Uh... no, they are half-brothers." Chen Ye explained the brotherhood to Zhang Ruo across from him and the classmate next to him.
Zhang Ruo suddenly realized: "No wonder, with your talent in martial arts, how come your brother is studying humanities?"
That's not what surprised me.
Chu Ya shook her head: "Ruo Ruo, you've been in seclusion all this time, so you don't know that Chen Ye's brother was a level four martial artist just a week ago."
"Later, because he had two consecutive moments of enlightenment due to the inscription of runes, he was able to break through to the ninth level of martial artist."
"Furthermore, he has only been practicing his battle techniques for four or five days, and his strength should be at the bottom among level nine martial artists, which is why I was surprised that he actually won first place."
Zhang Ru clapped his hands: "It's obvious that those guys in the rune and materials science fields are too weak."
Noticing the speechless expressions of Chu Ya and the others, Zhang Ruo gave an awkward smile.
"Okay, I was just kidding. Chen Ye, your brother must have a strong combat talent, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to kill so many mutated creatures after just breaking through to level nine."
