Chapter 1248 Far ahead

 Three hours later, the first settlement point of the bounty activity came.

 “Settlement point” refers to the settlement node for bounty points.

 In bounty activities, activity points will not be updated in real time.

 Because cases need to be repeatedly verified after being reported, points may be under-counted, over-counted, or omitted.

For example, a case originally rated 500 points may have its rating raised due to the discovery of a new victim during the verification process, or it may be lowered because the reporting team over-exaggerated the facts.

 So points will not be displayed immediately after the case is reported. It must be carefully checked and the corresponding score will be given after confirmation.

 The settlement period for points is 3 hours.

Every 3 hours, the staff responsible for points settlement will publicize the confirmed points for everyone to view.

 The time when points are announced is also called the “settlement point”.

 Three hours after the bounty started, the first settlement point is finally here!

 In the interface of the public online bounty activity, the points of each team are refreshed and re-ranked, and the results after settlement are displayed.

 Everyone has been waiting for this moment.

 After arriving at the point, whether it was internal members such as Luman and Bella, the various teams participating in the bounty, or ordinary residents watching the excitement, everyone immediately clicked to see which teams were in front this time.

However, not long after, shouts of exclamation like a roaring tsunami erupted from various star regions:

“Hymn is on top, and ‘Feige Nova’ actually ranks first!”

“1863 points! An increase of 952 points compared to the beginning.”

“Didn’t the teams from the big forces overtake us? Wait a minute, the ‘Lemo Mercenaries’ are second, but they only have 1150 points, which is only an increase of 418 points compared to the first time? How come there is such a small increase?”

 At this settlement point, "Moler Mercenary" has 1150 points, surpassing its competitors and ranking second with a slight advantage of 3 points ("Silver Guard" has 1147 points).

 But what shocked everyone was that these teams from big forces not only failed to narrow the points gap with Su Yu's team, but actually widened it!

 And it’s even bigger than just a little!

Su Yu’s team gained 952 points in 3 hours, while other teams in the top ten generally only had 300~400 points. If this continues, they will take the lead!

“Oh my god, who is this ‘Su Yu’? It’s so scary!”

“At this pace, there is no way other teams can surpass them.”

“I gained more than 900 points in 3 hours... A team I know also participated in the bounty. They worked very hard. All the members are at level 8, but they only got more than 100 points in 3 hours.”

“I originally thought that this team would only be a flash in the pan, but now it’s completely different!”

 …

The public Internet is awash with exclamations.

Three hours ago, everyone thought that Su Yu was just lucky or strong alone, and would fall behind soon.

 But I didn’t expect that they would not fall behind at all. If they continue, they will definitely be the first! And it’s leading by fault!

In the general commander's office of Pannan 05 base, Luman and his assistant Bella were also completely stunned!

Su Yu’s team is unexpectedly strong, this is incredible!

"Sure enough, my intuition is fine." Bella thought to herself.

She looked at Liman and said seriously: "Lord Greed, do we need to take measures?"

“…Let’s wait a little longer.” Liman hesitated.

Su Yu's results were completely beyond his imagination. It could be said to be a slap in the face.

 Could it be that Su Yu's luck was so good that he found a case like the "Morris Case"?

But it's too early to suppress Su Yu's team now. It's better to understand the specific situation first.

"Bella, check the details of the case submitted by Su Yu." "Follow your orders."

 “Also, let’s wait and see what happens after the next settlement point.”

 …

 Time passes quickly during busy queries.

 Soon, 3 hours passed by again, and time came to the second settlement point.

 But at this settlement point, Liman was obviously a lot more anxious.

 Just now, he and his assistant Bella went through all the cases reported by Su Yu.

But it doesn’t matter if you look at it, you will be shocked when you look at it!

Su Yu did not solve another major case like the "Morris Case" during the 952 minutes he had added. These 952 points include a total of 9 cases, each of which is around 100%.

And what shocked him was that there was extremely conclusive evidence in each case!

 He looked at the evidence and couldn't find anything vague or unclear.

Moreover, there was no trace of fraud in each case, and they all occurred after the reward was launched, leaving him unable to find fault.

These have fully demonstrated Su Yu's strength. Su Yu is not just lucky, they can really be far ahead!

These facts made Luman feel that his face hurt. Now he really made a mistake!

Moreover, Luman guessed that Su Yu's team might be leading the way at this settlement point.

 …

as expected.

 Another 3 hours later, the second settlement point arrived, and the scores of each team were refreshed again.

 At this settlement point, Su Yu's team gained an additional 666 points and continued to maintain first place, with the total score reaching 2529 points.

 The second place was taken back by "Silver Guard". In this settlement, they scored 390 points, bringing the total score to 1537 points.

 The third place "Lemo Mercenary" followed closely with a difference of 7 points.

This time, the gap between the first and second place has widened again, to almost 1,000 points!

At this speed, it would take the "Silver Guard" six or seven hours to catch up with Su Yu's team, let alone overtake them.

 “Alas, that’s true.” Seeing the result, Li Man sighed.

Bella said: "The two settlements prove that our team does not have the strength to defeat Su Yu's team. If there is no interference, Su Yu's team will definitely win the championship."

She looked at Liman: "Lord Greed, as you said, do we want to interfere?"

 “This…” Liman frowned and began to hesitate again.

"You don't have to hesitate, right?" Bella asked: "The legion commander personally ordered us to get first place. If we don't interfere, obviously we won't get first place. And I think the sooner we intervene, the better. The later we get points, the better." Maybe we can’t even chase him.”

"But the situation is different now." Li Man frowned and said: "There is no doubt that many people are paying attention to the bounty. If we interfere and get first place, how bad will the impact be?

If Su Yu only scores a few points or more than a dozen points, we can still make some moves. But now it's almost a thousand points, and anyone who interferes will be discovered immediately. "

“…” Bella stopped talking. This is indeed a problem and cannot be dealt with blindly.

Now they seem to be in a dilemma, neither advancing nor retreating is right, they seem to be stuck here.

 Finally, Liman decided: "We'd better report to the legion commander in time and see what he says."
