Chapter 525 The Dual-Edged Battlefield: Rewards and Rankings
This is where most players in Luoxia City enter the second round, and also where they return.
Within minutes, the once empty square was packed with people.
Some people lay directly on the ground, limbs outstretched, like a dead dog, letting others walk past them.
Some people were frantically scrolling through their rankings, their fingers trembling so much they could barely tap the screen. One tap had no effect, another had no effect, and they were sweating profusely with anxiety.
Someone knelt on the ground, laughing loudly with tears streaming down their face. They pounded the ground with their fists as they laughed.
Someone was crouching in a corner, silently shedding tears, their shoulders trembling, not wanting anyone to see.
All walks of life.
A soldier lay on the ground, gazing at the sky and muttering to himself.
His eyes were fixed on the night sky, the moonlight reflected in his pupils.
"Ninety-nine thousand eight hundred and seventy-two... I made it... I fucking made it..."
His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing something. As he spoke, his mouth stretched into a grin, revealing two rows of white teeth, and he smiled like a fool.
A monk sat slumped nearby, his face ashen and his lips blue.
"I scored 99,901... just 129 points short... just a tiny bit more..."
He looked down at his hands, which were still trembling.
He was still clutching the last bottle of medicine he hadn't had time to drink in his hand; the bottle was hot from his grip, and the metal cap was deformed from his squeeze.
The soldier paused for a moment, wanting to say something, but couldn't utter a word.
He simply lay back down silently, not daring to look the monk in the eye again.
"brother……"
Someone walked over and patted the monk on the shoulder.
The monk looked up, his eyes red-rimmed and bloodshot.
"I've been working so hard... for six hours straight... killed countless monsters... and I'm just a little over a hundred points short..."
"I know." The man sighed and sat down next to him. "I have a friend who was just one point short."
The monk was stunned: "One point?"
"One cent. Just one fucking cent."
The man gave a wry smile, took a bottle of liquor from his backpack, unscrewed the cap, took a swig, and then handed it to the monk.
"He killed a monster at the last second, but the system's judgment was a fraction of a second too late, so his points weren't counted. He ended up ranking 100,001st, just one place short."
The monk took the bottle of wine, took a big gulp, and choked, coughing violently.
Then he suddenly laughed. It was a very strange laugh—not one of relief, not one of self-mockery, but one of resentment.
"At least I'm not the worst off," he said.
"Yes." The man patted him on the shoulder. "Try to think positively."
The monk nodded, stood up, staggered slightly, and then slowly walked away from the crowd.
The man watched his retreating figure, sighed, picked up the bottle, and took another swig.
In the distance, several players were gathered together, discussing their rankings.
How much do you have?
"Eighty-seven thousand, and you?"
"Ninety-one thousand. Hehe, it's a sure thing."
"Damn, if I'd known you were this tall, I should have made you treat me earlier."
"What guests are we inviting? We'll talk about that on the third round."
"The third round... what do you think the third round will be?"
"I don't know, but it'll definitely be more exciting than the second round. Look at the rewards; the second round gave a diamond chest directly, what will the third round give?"
"Nonsense, if it went like this in the second round, wouldn't it be unbelievable in the third?"
Another player leaned over and whispered, "What do you guys think Lin Tian's ranking is?"
"Is that even a question? He's number one. His points are more than a hundred times that of the second-place player. It would be a miracle if he wasn't number one. I heard from my friend that he personally witnessed Lin Tian stomp a level 60 boss to death on the battlefield."
"Stomp him to death? You're kidding me!"
"It's true! Tens of thousands of people were fighting that boss, and it took them ages to whittle down its health by 80%. Then Boss Lin Tian arrived, and with one kick, the boss was instantly defeated."
"Holy crap... what are we doing risking our lives here?"
"It's about feeling involved. What else?"
The group was silent for two seconds, then laughed at the same time.
Just then—

The announcement was released.
The entire newbie continent was in an uproar.
The world chat channel was instantly flooded with messages—
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Diamond treasure chests?! Three for first place?!"
"Two second-place finishers?! One third-place finisher?!"
"What level is a Platinum Chest?! My best chest in the first round was only a Silver Chest!"
"They jumped straight to Diamond rank in the second round?! What's the third round like? Legend? Myth?!"
"Damn it, if I'd known the rewards were this generous, I would have fought tooth and nail to get into the top 100,000!"
"Did you get in?"
"I...I have 98,000, hehehehe..."
"roll!"
"I was so close to reaching 100,000th place! Just a tiny bit more!!!!"
Brother, please accept my condolences.
In the square, someone opened the treasure chest directly.
Silver, gold, and platinum light flashed in succession, illuminating the entire square with dazzling colors that made it difficult for people to open their eyes.
Some cheered, some cursed, some jumped up, some squatted down. It was as lively as Chinese New Year.
"Holy crap! S-rank equipment!"
"I got a B-grade weapon... Damn it, silver treasure chests are really unreliable."
"Stop talking, I got five healing potions from my silver treasure chest..."
"Hahahaha!"
"Laugh at your sister!"
"I got a skill book! A-grade!"
"Damn! Let me see!"
"I won't show it to you, just so you can get mad!"
"Damn it, I opened a platinum chest and got nothing but garbage. My heart is broken."
Immediately afterwards—

The world channel was silent for two seconds.
Then--
"Wait, let me see... Lin Tian is first, no doubt about it. Raji is second? Who's that? 340,000 points, more than 40,000 points higher than third place?!"
"I've seen it. A warrior, incredibly fierce. The captain of the Mad Axe team, SSS-level talent, he charged at the very front the whole time, died several times, and still managed to fight his way to second place."
