Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Outnumbering the Few Is Dishonorable? Lin Yi: Indeed!
At this moment, it has been 1 hour since the instance began.
The time for the first leaderboard announcement has also arrived.
After seeing the top ten on the leaderboard, Lin Yi was slightly stunned.
Then he showed a slight smile, "Interesting."
"It seems those who came to participate in the fifth round really have some tricks."
On the leaderboard.
The person at the top was not Lin Yi.
Not even the second place was him.
Instead, they were two unfamiliar names.
[Current Points Leaderboard:]
[1st place, Xia Yuyan, points: 11467, team: none, region: Desert Zone]
[2nd place, Lu Yu, points: 8433, team: none, region: Noah’s Wreckage Zone]
[3rd place, Lin Yi, points: 7219, team: none, region: Hilly Zone]
[4th place, Chu Ran, points: 1329, team: Chu Ran Team, team size: 13, region: Noah’s Wreckage Zone]
...
Lin Yi was neither angry nor anxious.
He didn’t think that by chance he could get any first-mover advantage just by being teleported next to the Golden-Winged Roc King’s nest.
Because within this one hour, for those who truly have the ability.
They don’t need luck, and can actively challenge those powerful monsters and fierce beasts.
To earn points.
Moreover, the entire fifth round will last 24 hours, getting on the leaderboard in the first hour is not a good thing.
It would just make you a target for others to hunt.
Now, Lin Yi can click on anyone’s ranking on the leaderboard, and a tracking interface will pop up.
The spirit crystal screen will show an arrow to continuously track your target.
The more than seven thousand points Lin Yi gained so far were also from Lin You hunting other monsters afterward.
The Golden-Winged Roc King and its family alone could only provide him with three thousand points.
Clang!
A sword sound rung in Lin Yi’s ears.
Looking towards Lin You, he found that she had already drawn the Elegy of the Soul and was on alert.
"Someone is coming."
Lin Yi looked up at the sky.
Seeing a young Silver Feather Roc circling above their heads.
It seemed that it was the one sending out the warning signal.
Lin You received it immediately.
"There are many people, and they formed a team."
Lin You continued after receiving information from the moving scout above.
"Are they coming for us?"
Lin You closed her eyes, seemingly sharing the view of the Silver Feather Roc above.
Then, she opened her eyes, "There are 11 of them, and they are heading our way."
Lin Yi and Lin You had been resting in this place for more than half an hour.
Lin You had previously mentioned that there were signs of a battle in the distance.
This indicated that someone had hunted monsters here, perhaps a lone wolf like himself, or possibly a team.
Now it seems it’s a team.
And after he got into the top three on the leaderboard, he also became the target for that team to hunt.
To be honest, at this stage, Lin Yi didn’t want to have conflicts with other candidates.
On one hand, at this time, the points on these people are definitely not much, and even if they get eliminated, it won’t net much.
It’s better to let them whittle each other down, eliminating some weaker ones first, so Lin Yi can take down slightly stronger ones later, to earn more points.
On the other hand, his main objective for entering this instance was actually to level up.
Especially to quickly level up Lin You.
Such unnecessary battles, Lin Yi was too lazy to trigger.
However, since they came to him, Lin Yi did not intend to avoid it.
Lin Yi heard the dense footsteps coming from the small woods not far away.
Then several people emerged from the woods, appearing before Lin Yi.
"It really is you?!"
A person in the crowd looked visibly shocked upon seeing Lin Yi.
Lin Yi looked over and was also taken aback.
That person was Li Zerui, who had been displeased with Lin Yi outside the instance.
Among those with him, Lin Yi also saw several people who made the top ten in this Dongjiang Province exam.
But besides them, there were unfamiliar faces.
Lin Yi didn’t know what happened with the Dongjiang Province team, but in any case, Li Zerui was here with a few members of the Dongjiang Province team.
And it was clear that Li Zerui wasn’t even the leader of this small team.
The leader of this team stood at the front, turned to inquire, "What’s his profession, and what are his skills, report."
Li Zerui felt a bit guilty, after all, Lin Yi was also someone from Dongjiang Province.
They were supposed to be united.
Now he had to reveal Lin Yi’s profession and skill trump cards to outsiders.
He felt somewhat guilty.
But remembering the pressure Lin Yi exuded, Li Zerui was gnashing his teeth with hatred, and ultimately disclosed Lin Yi’s profession.
"Ordinary profession?"
"Are you sure?"
"So what if it’s multi-specialized!"
"Dongjiang really is getting worse year by year!"
Upon hearing Li Zerui’s words.
The entire small team instantly seemed more relaxed.
Most people have a fixed mindset.
The rarity level of professions is almost linked to the practitioner’s strength.
At least at their current first transition stage, that is the case.
Normal, Rare, Uncommon, Legendary, Epic!
Among these five profession rarity levels, Normal is undoubtedly the lowest.
Put together with this group of legendary professions, it would be humiliated!
"Don’t be careless, he did manage to earn over 7000 points in the first hour, so he shouldn’t be too weak."
"Better safe than sorry!"
The leader of this small team named Fang Ming, dressed lightly, was an archer by profession.
In Lin Yi’s [Eye of Omniscience] view.
This individual’s level is 37, clearly having completed the second transition.
And his skill specialization is strong.
His profession itself is also a legendary profession, his combat power is indeed considerable among this ragtag team.
"Maybe he was just lucky!"
"Even a blind cat can catch a dead mouse!"
Someone else tried to add.
They were silenced by a glare from Fang Ming, and promptly shut up.
It seems Fang Ming holds considerable authority in this group.
At least he can keep them in line.
Fang Ming looked at Lin Yi, negotiating, "Friend, as you can see, I’m leading over 10 brothers in this area to hunt monsters for points. For so many people to split, points are hard to earn."
"So what do you say, you give us seventy percent of your points, and we’ll let you leave."
"This way, it’s good for all of us."
"Otherwise, we will have to clash swords."
"It’s not honorable to fight more against fewer, I really don’t want to reach that point."
Fang Ming’s words almost made Lin Yi laugh.
"It’s hard for you to earn points, and the points I earn just blow in on the wind?"
"However, you are right about one thing."
"It’s indeed not honorable to fight more against fewer."
The next moment, Lin Yi snapped his fingers.
One by one, ferocious summons started appearing around him!
"Screech——!"
The Golden-Winged Roc King appeared.
Followed by the Hill Tiger King, Snow Mountain Giant, Mutant Ogre...
All these monsters were souls slain by Lin You’s sword in this one hour.
Then manipulated by Lin You, forming a disaster army!
They had been stored in the Undead Space by Lin Yi.
Now Lin Yi released them all at once.
The number was as many as forty or fifty, with each being terrifyingly powerful.
Lin Yi grinned, adding, "But I’m quite willing to reach that point."
