Fiery Bird's "nothing out of the ordinary" was to tell everyone that there were no cheats and no substitute training. It was really Fiery Bird alone who had obtained so many points!
What was different from everyone else's focus was on Yanzhou's District 79. The people of District 79 were on the verge of tears. It was not that all the mutated creatures had been swept clean, but wherever the gunshots had swept through, whether it was on the streets or in open buildings, it was as if they had been sifted through. The larger ones, the more obvious ones, had all been sifted away. There were not many infected ones to be seen.
On the streets, the larger mutated beasts that could be seen running were pitifully few. It was as if they had really been cleaned up by a cleaner. Some people lying in ambush waiting to snipe their prey did not even get a single one in half an hour.
Players who had the financial resources but lacked the skills understood their limits. When they first logged into the game, they did not wander around. They just familiarized themselves with the game and practiced their controls. When it was about time, they went offline to look for those studios or teams that sold equipment. They did not have the ability to kill monsters for points and experience. Without points, they could not exchange for more items, so they could only look for people to buy from.
In 12 hours, a lot had happened in half a day.
Equipment sellers used the points earned by their teams to exchange for equipment or guns that they had picked up while hunting monsters. These could be sold to others at a fixed price. After arranging a location, they could deliver the equipment. Alternatively, the buyer could give them in-game coordinates, and they could go deliver the equipment.
Teams that specialized in strategy also gave out "secret manuals" that had been compiled in half a day.
But when these players bought the equipment, finished reading the strategy, and were fully equipped for battle, they realized that the surroundings were much emptier when they went online.
There was not a single monster to be seen. What do you expect me to fight?! Who knew when the next wave of monsters would come?
Small monsters? Small monsters were beneath their notice!
This stifling feeling of "possessing exceptional martial arts but not having a place to use them" was rather unbearable!
Yanzhou Qi'an City, in the chief editor's office of the popular Prairie Fire.
Qian Cheng looked at his subordinate's report and pondered for a while. "Is it District 79?"
"I don't know. There is no way to confirm. The other districts have not clearly stated that it is either," the employee who had come over to report on the progress of the investigation replied.
Qian Cheng sat in his office chair. Although there was no obvious change in his expression, the fingers that were tapping on the table had become much more forceful.
A Prairie Fire employee said angrily, "I asked for their team name and they did not say it directly. They are so secretive! He's just freeloading! "
They were very angry. They had already sent people to the few suspicious regions that they had screened out. They had also asked a few Clubs, but some of the Clubs or teams in those regions had directly answered "no", while some were vague and did not make a clear statement. After the matter was over, they immediately stirred up the news to attract attention. They did not like these methods, but they could not rule out the possibility that those people were the culprits.
Previously, Qian Cheng had thought that as long as he kept an eye on a team with only one person killing crazily, or if everyone else in the team was creating hunting conditions for one person, then that would definitely be the target they were looking for. But very quickly, the points of the other members of the SilverWing50PolarLight team also started to rise, so it was really hard to make a judgment now.
Twelve hours passed. The number one spot on the global solo leaderboard for "Battle of the Century" had not changed at all. There were not many changes in the top ten either. However, the number of points was still increasing.
As for Fang Zhao, who was the center of everyone's heated discussion, he simply didn't care about the reactions of others. He blocked the regional messages and didn't check the team messages.
He kept shooting, reloading, shooting, reloading, shooting …
He tossed aside all other emotions. He just wanted to properly vent in this game.
When he felt that it was about time, Fang Zhao stopped and checked the team messages. There was nothing too important, so he went offline after reporting that he was safe.
Fang Zhao came out of the game console drenched in sweat. His clothes were already drenched. Even without twisting his body, he could see droplets of sweat dripping from his clothes.
Both his mind and body seemed rather exhausted. Fang Zhao didn't rest once an hour or once every few hours like other people thought he would. He had hunted for 12 hours straight, and he hadn't stopped to rest at all in between!
This was a thorough venting of his anger!
He was obviously already very tired, but there was a peculiar glow in the depths of his eyes.
Refreshing!
Relaxing!
That feeling was like a heavy downpour after a persistent gray haze. It was incomparably refreshing!
Fang Zhao took a deep breath. This was the most relaxing moment since his rebirth! He didn't need to rely on the background music in his head to adjust it, and he didn't need to deliberately suppress it. That heavy and oppressive feeling had dissipated quite a bit, and he truly felt relaxed from the inside out!
Of course, other than the feeling of exhaustion, there was also the feeling of hunger.
If it wasn't for the fact that this body's constitution had been greatly enhanced, any other person would have long since fainted from exhaustion or hunger.
In Yanzhou's time zone, it was already past 6 in the evening.
Fang Zhao drank a high-energy beverage and took a shower. After decompressing the compressed food he had stored, he enjoyed his dinner while checking the messages on his communications device.
There were close to 100 calls on his communication device, giving Fang Zhao a fright. He thought that something big had happened, but after reading the messages, he understood the reason. However, he hadn't paid attention to the leaderboards previously. To be honest, from his point of view, it really wasn't a big deal, so he hadn't even thought about the rankings beforehand.
At that time, he had only wanted to vent the vicious feelings he had suppressed in his heart for a long time and toss aside all other emotions. He hadn't expected that it would lead to the current situation. First place in the entire leaderboard?
As he was looking at it, there was a caller ID on his communication device. It wasn't Duan Qianji, but gaming department manager Wayne.
Wayne had been waiting since the morning for Fang Zhao to go offline!
Because Fang Zhao hadn't gone offline all this time, Silver Wing didn't know what was going on and hadn't communicated with Fang Zhao. They also didn't dare release any news, so to outsiders, it seemed like Silver Wing was probably planning something big. Even some veteran entertainment industry analysts shook their heads helplessly. "I don't understand, and I can't guess what exactly Silver Wing is up to."
"Fang Zhao, you finally went offline!" Wayne's tone was rather agitated. When he got agitated, he unconsciously raised his voice at the end of his sentence.
Fang Zhao held the communication device a little further away before replying, "Yeah, what's up?"
"Do you know that you are now number one on the overall leaderboards?!"
"I just found out."
Wayne's hearing was very good. He could tell that Fang Zhao's tone was relaxed and that he was probably in a good mood. He even thought that Fang Zhao was happy because he was number one on the overall leaderboards.
"Then … what are your plans after this?" Wayne asked carefully.
"Nothing much." Fang Zhao's motive for logging into the game was just to vent the vicious feelings he had been suppressing for a long time. Now that his goal had been achieved, everything else didn't matter. How he played next depended on his mood.
Wayne pumped his fist twice and steadied his tone before saying, "Are you interested in collaborating?"
Wayne told Fang Zhao his plans. He wanted to use the company's resources to prop Fang Zhao up and forge him into a superstar in the gaming world. As long as Fang Zhao agreed, their gaming department was going to rise. Wayne could already see a bright future ahead!
"Not interested," Fang Zhao replied.
"… Don't be so quick to reject. A collaboration would benefit everyone. How about this? You have been gaming for so long and must be tired. Why don't you rest first and consider my proposal?"
After ending the call, Wayne immediately contacted Duan Qianji. He couldn't convince Fang Zhao, so he could only look for Silver Wing's big boss, Duan Qianji, to step in. If other companies found out that AliveAfter500Years was Fang Zhao, they would surely spend a lot of money to poach people from Silver Wing!
Today, quite a few companies had already publicly expressed that they were willing to spend a lot of money to poach people from Silver Wing. They would pay the penalty fees! It wasn't just Yanzhou companies. There were companies from other continents as well!
But others didn't know that Silver Wing's contract with Fang Zhao had not mentioned anything about gaming. If Fang Zhao signed a contract with another company as a gamer, it wouldn't be considered a breach of contract.
Thus, less than a minute after the call with Wayne, Fang Zhao received another call from Duan Qianji.
Frankly speaking, Duan Qianji had treated Fang Zhao quite well. Fang Zhao was willing to give this company boss some face.
As expected, Duan Qianji once again tried to persuade Fang Zhao to collaborate with the gaming department. Fang Zhao could raise any conditions he had and she would invite Fang Zhao to the company tomorrow to discuss it properly. Not just Wayne, but Duan Qianji also didn't want to let go of such a great opportunity.
After the call ended, Fang Zhao didn't go online immediately. Instead, he browsed through the news on Fiery Bird's official "Battle of the Century" gaming forum. Indeed, many people were talking about today's rankings.
After taking a look, Fang Zhao switched to the Yanzhou region. The various e-sports clubs' publicity teams had already made their move. The top trending news was mostly related to those few e-sports clubs.
Fang Zhao entered District 79 to see if there was any major news in District 79. Previously, when he had been gaming, district news had been blocked, so he didn't know much.
As expected, everyone was discussing the matter of District 79's east, west, and west sides being swept by someone. Just at this moment, a sticky post appeared.
"That unknown god who swept this district's east, west, and west sides! Show mercy! District 79 north, please let him off! We are still just students! "
If this was the real Period of Destruction, they might be eager for someone to sweep a district, but this was just a game. Fang Zhao reflected on his own actions. It was indeed not very appropriate. It felt like he was bullying a child. After he finished sweeping, others wouldn't be able to play anymore.
After thinking it through, Fang Zhao logged in with the account he had registered while gaming and replied to the student's post.
AliveAfter500Years: Okay.
In the next moment, the number of replies in the post increased explosively.
"…"
"This ID …"
"The f * ck?!"
"What did I just see?!"
"The number one on the leaderboards is actually in our district?!"
"He is that mysterious kill-stealing demon who swept through District 79's east, west, and west sides?!"
The person who had posted the post was a university student who had just bought equipment with a few classmates. They had bought quite a lot of bullets and guns and had planned to have a good time. After seeing the situation in District 79's east, west, and west sides, he had posted the post. He had not expected that his post would cause this god to come out.
It had appeared. District 79!
The media was like a cat that had smelled blood. They rushed over to District 79. Those who had not been randomly assigned to District 79 for the first time bought District 79 numbers. District 79's professional account selling team had not expected business to be so good on the first day!
However, the people who rushed to District 79 that night did not manage to find their target. Instead, the sound of gunfire could be heard in District 78's east, which bordered District 79's west side.
