CHAPTER 630: CHAPTER 630: MONSTER MERCHANT, REDEEM POINTS!

The viewers couldn’t help but immerse themselves, enjoying the thrill of Zhang Yue’s slaughter of monsters.

As if they had forgotten, they came to Zhang Yue’s livestream room to check for evidence.

["The Ghost has stopped moving,"] as soon as this message appeared on the barrage, everyone’s focus shifted back to the "Ghost."

It had been ten minutes since Zhang Yue logged in and started his livestream.

Shockingly, during this time, the disappearance of contestants around the world had stopped.

It had been ten straight minutes without any new disappearances.

Whereas before this, someone had disappeared almost every minute.

The global disappearance count was frozen at 1,230, no increase in ten minutes.

As a result, the livestream chat was filled with curses again:

["From the moment Zero started streaming, no one else disappeared. Turns out the Ghost was Zero!"]

["What’s there left to deny? A coward who doesn’t dare admit what he’s done!"]

["It’s Zero! The 1,000+ contestants who vanished around the world, he killed them all!"]

Meanwhile, on the other side, Chen Zijin also noticed the issue.

She immediately messaged Zhang Yue, ["That guy, he’s clearly targeting you. He saw you log in and then stopped moving, trying to pin the blame on you."]

Zhang Yue, however, looked completely unbothered.

Watching the barrage of messages scroll madly through the stream, he calmly said, "Eat some snack noodles to restore energy, bros. This kind of sustained output is way too tiring."

Barrage:

["I’ll eat your damn snack noodles! My younger brother was killed by you in the arena, I want you to pay with your life!"]

["You dog! Didn’t admit it at first, cowardly bastard! Just you wait, once I receive the snack noodles, I’m leaving a bad review! For every pack I order, you get one bad review!"]

["Good idea! I’m placing an order too, then rating it one star!"]

Seeing these comments, Zhang Yue "pleaded bitterly", "No, please, family. If you all keep leaving bad reviews like this, how am I supposed to keep doing my snack noodle business?"

Barrage:

["Hahahaha! Scared now, huh? I’m ordering one... no, a thousand orders! I’ll flood you with 1,000 bad reviews!"]

["Still want to make money? Dream on. I’m leaving a bad review too! Where do I place the order?"]

Zhang Yue: "Bottom right corner of the stream—please don’t leave bad reviews, I beg you..."

At the same time, outside the stream, Ouyang Ling’er was munching on chips as she watched the livestream and couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Oh no, I can’t... I’m laughing so hard it hurts! Where the hell do these idiots come from? Too easy to scam!"

"If the guild leader says ’shop responsibly’ again now, that would be truly shrimp-heart-pig-lung."

Beside her, Wu Haotian murmured thoughtfully, "Boss really is black-hearted..."

"Raking in the profits through tears. But seriously,.do you think this has anything to do with our guild leader?"

Wu Haotian stood up, "The outsiders might not believe in our leader, but should we start doubting him too? After spending all this time with him, do you think he’s the type to do something like this? It’s clearly the real culprit behind the scenes, taking advantage of the situation to dump the blame on him."

Ouyang Ling’er looked at Wu Haotian and couldn’t help but sigh, "Not easy... you finally grew a brain."

Wu Haotian: "Thanks for the compliment, I guess!"

———

On the other side.

Zhang Yue continued slaughtering monsters and farming medals as usual.

The drop rate of medals was, in fact, not high.

On a single small map, even after killing dozens of monsters, maybe only one or two medals would drop.

And most of those were low-level medals.

Even so, thanks to Zhang Yue’s insane strength and killing speed, in just one hour, he had collected over 300 medals.

Among them:

Black Iron Medals: 202 → 202 points

Bronze Medals: 55 → 110 points

Silver Medals: 40 → 120 points

Gold Medals: 32 → 160 points

Platinum Medals: 19 → 133 points

Diamond Medals: 12 → 120 points

Star Glory Medals: 10 → 150 points

King Medals: 8 → 250 points

Total: 1,245 points.

Though still short of the 2,000-point goal, he was already close to halfway.

At Zhang Yue’s current pace, he could already be called the Number One in the Arena Level-3.

No one else in the Tier-3 Arena could collect 1,000 points in one hour.

Not even Ghostsword Elfa could do that.

To prevent carrying too many medals and getting killed for them, most contestants would immediately look for a Monster Merchant after getting medals to exchange them for points.

After all, carrying points on your person was way safer than carrying medals.

As for Zhang Yue not exchanging his medals despite collecting so many, first, it was because he didn’t have the same sense of danger other contestants did. Medals on Zhang Yue were practically already converted points.

Second, Zhang Yue had actually met Monster Merchants multiple times already.

But through talking with them, he learned: the more medals you exchange at once, the higher the bonus points you get.

Zhang Yue looked at his current number of medals and the corresponding points, analyzing, "Base conversion is 1,245 points. I’m 755 short. With bonus points factored in, that should just about cover it."

Just in time, he spotted the silhouette of a Monster Merchant up ahead.

So, Zhang Yue walked toward the Monster Merchant...

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

[Arena Level-3, Battlefield No.45]

Slash!

As Elfa swung his sword down, a wave of sword energy wiped out a large group of surrounding monsters. After looting their medals, he opened his inventory and counted the medals, muttering, "Should be about enough. Let’s turn them in to stabilize the ranking."

Saying that, Elfa exited combat and began searching for a nearby Monster Merchant.

At the same time, he opened the leaderboard and used ID search, discovering that [Zero] still had 0 points, and had now fallen to rank 13,258.

"Saving medals for one big exchange?", Elfa chuckled,."Too bad, you still can’t surpass me. I already had a 300-point lead at the start. And you could never collect medals faster than me! That champion seat, don’t even think about it."

Though Elfa himself had dropped over 1,000 spots, he was confident that once he turned in his medals, he’d shoot straight back to first place.

He found a Monster Merchant and triggered dialogue.

Then handed over all the medals he had collected.

Instantly, his points soared from 300 to 1,256.

And his leaderboard rank leapt from 1,125 to No.1.

He now had a 500-point lead over second place.

In the livestream, waves of praise rang out:

["No.1, of course it’s our Beacon Nation’s Elfa-sama!"]

["Over 900 points in just one hour, who else could even come close?"]

["World champion, well deserved!"]

Just then, a system announcement descended from the sky—

["Ding~ Congratulations to Dragon Country contestant [Zero] for being the first to reach the 4-Star Arena rank!"]
