88: The Leaderboard That Made Everyone Despair

The Leaderboard That Made Everyone Despair

After entering the Shadow World, the players were all in high spirits. However, very soon, some players noticed the abnormality in the shop. After hearing what the others said, everyone immediately checked the shop as well.0

"F*CK, is there really a bug? Who should I look for to fix this?"

"Did I open it the wrong way? Other than level two equipment, the rest of the items have been sold out?"

"Not only that, all the equipment, consumables, and materials above Black-Steel grade have all been sold out!"

"Who the f*ck can tell me what's going on?"

"F*ck, we've met a ghost. Do you guys still remember what happened in the game mall a few days ago? It's the same as this, there's not a single item on it!"

"Is it because we don't have enough points, so it's shown here that it's sold out?"

"Are you stupid? If we don't have enough points, we'll be blacklisted. How would it be sold out?!"

Seeing that the shop was empty, all the players were dumbfounded. Initially, many of them thought that they could make use of this event to soar to the sky. However, reality had poured a bucket of cold water on them. As long as the item was not particularly trashy, all of them were gone. The remaining items were only level two soldiers...

At this moment, a series of system notifications rang in the players' ears.

"Ding, dong! The S-class quest, Investigate the Shadow Cave, has been completed by other players. The quest will disappear forever!

"Ding, dong! The S-class quest, Search for the Lost Little Ghost, has been completed by other players. The quest will disappear forever!

"Ding, dong! The quest..."

The system's voice rang over a dozen times before it finally stopped. The players were all dumbfounded. There was only one of each S-class quest. If it was completed by other players, they would not be able to receive it. Without the quest, what was the point of playing?

In the Rose Guild, the members were also wailing. Large guilds typically had the advantage in such world events. However, it had now become a bubble.

Purple Rose frowned. She always felt that these matters had something to do with Li Cheng. There was no reason for her speculation, but purely a woman's intuition. Before she could say anything, the system's voice rang again.

"Ding, dong, the event ranking board has been opened. Please, check it in time!

"Ding, dong, congratulations to the Divine Dragon Alliance players for taking first place in the Leaderboard. All Divine Dragon Alliance players have received a fifty percent increase in their attack and defense stats in the Shadow World!"

Hearing the system's voice, all the players were stunned and did not know what to say.

"What's going on? Our Alliance has taken the first place?"

"It's only been a few seconds? And we're already first?"

"F*ck, what did I just see?! Everyone, look at the leaderboard!"

Purple Rose was also confused. The event had only started less than 10 seconds ago, so how did the Divine Dragon Alliance take the first place? In the past, the leaderboards of all kinds of games would only open after some time or when there was a huge difference in strength. She could not figure it out, so she opened the leaderboard interface.

[Individual Points Leaderboard]

[1. Netherworld: Divine Dragon Alliance. Shadow Points: 1.7 trillion]

[2. Eve: Eagle Alliance. Shadow Points: 36]

[3. Heartless War Soul: Divine Dragon Alliance. Shadow Points: 34]

[4. Origin of the Universe: Universe Alliance. Shadow Points: 33]

...

[Alliance Points Leaderboard]

[1. Dragon God Alliance, Shadow Points: 1.7 trillion]

[2. Eagle Alliance, Shadow Points: 280]

[3. Universe Alliance, Shadow Points: 150]

[4. Hundred Flowers Alliance, Shadow Points: 139]

[5. White Elephant Alliance, Shadow Points: 120]

...

There were a total of three leaderboards—the individual leaderboard, the alliance leaderboard, and the guild leaderboard!

At this stage, no one had established a guild in Tribe yet, so the guild leaderboards were unknown. However, the other two leaderboards left all the players dumbfounded!

Purple Rose's mouth was slightly opened and her eyes were filled with disbelief. She rubbed her eyes and checked it three times before she confirmed that she was not seeing things. Even she was shocked!

1.7 trillion points! What kind of concept was that?

Purple Rose had tried to kill 100 small monsters and only received two shadow points. In other words, to catch up to Li Cheng, she had to kill at least a few trillion, or even tens of trillions of monsters!

Her first thought was that her guess was right. The shop incident was indeed related to Li Cheng, but how did he do it? Could that man really be cheating? At this moment, Purple Rose did not know what was going on with Li Cheng.

After looking at the leaderboard, the players finally understood what was going on. The style of emptying the shop was Li Cheng's basic operation.

[DAMN! Netherworld, tell me, did you empty the activity shop?!]

[@Netherworld, Big Brother, please, leave us a way out!]

[@Tribe officials, reporting Netherworld as a cheater!]

[That's right, I also believe that Netherworld's a cheater now. The event started less than ten seconds ago, and he already has close to 2 trillion points? We need an explanation!]

[Right, we need an explanation, or else we won't be able to continue playing this game!]

[In my opinion, Boss Netherworld has at least won glory for our alliance. In the past, our alliance has always been beaten by the Eagle Alliance.]

[Hehe, no matter what you say, I'm on Boss Netherworld's side. With the combined buffs from the leaderboards and the Holy War buffs, won't we be able to take off?]

[That's right. With such a powerful buff, wouldn't it be nice to increase the level of our troops? Why are you so conflicted about this?]

The players from the Divine Dragon Alliance could still accept this situation. After all, Li Cheng had provided them with an extremely powerful buff, allowing them to live up to the expectations of other alliances!

The commoner players were happy to see this scene. Based on their previous experience in the game, those rare items had nothing to do with them, so they were not worried at all. The buffs were more practical, so taking advantage of the three-day event, it would be better than nothing if their troops' experience points were maxed out.

However, the large guilds were not happy. In the past, most of the rewards were exchanged by them during large-scale events. They occupied the best grinding spots and dispersed their players to snatch most of the Bosses. They always took the lead again and again.

However, this time, there was nothing left for them. What was the difference between these large guilds and those small guilds?
