CHAPTER 504: CHAPTER 373 SHOCKED! 8000-WORD CHAPTER! _5

Perhaps old Xiao could use this chip to liberate a large number of White-headed Eagle chip warriors, or directly take over the territory, replacing Jes to control them.

After the transaction was done, Li Zheng no longer concerned himself with it, inspecting around his residence, drinking some potion to enhance his physique, and then consuming a few Flame Flowers and the accumulated Fire Element Gold Level fruits.

The Explosive Ability had already reached Lv6, and just needed another round of mature Flame Branch to max out, which at most could be done by tomorrow morning.

By then, Li Zheng planned to put some of the extra Flame Flowers into the legion’s warehouse as benefits, to be given to Starting Point Legion members at a low Points cost.

However, Silver Level inevitably involves a higher probability of side effects, so they need to be paired with some Gold Level Fire Element fruits.

"Right, I’ve been busy since I woke up today and forgot to check which kind of buff the legion has."

Just as he had a moment, Li Zheng opened the legion leaderboard to check.

The new scoreboard was placed alongside the power rankings, and could be seen with a scroll.

[Top1: Starting Point]

[Top2: Kunlun]

[Top3: Creation]

[Top4: Nine Heavens]

[Top5: White-headed Eagle]

[Top6: White Bear]

[Top7: Round Table Knight Order]

[Top8: Deep Blue]

[Top9: Penglai]

[Top10: High Celestial Plain]

Without a doubt, the Starting Point Legion occupied the top of the leaderboard, gaining the best buff enhancement.

10% extra spoils obtained during exploration.

From first to tenth, for each decrease in rank, the enhancement percentage dropped by one.

What Li Zheng didn’t expect was that the legion "Penglai" created by Liu Jiale and Xu Ying could actually rank ninth, significantly suppressing the Nihong Country organization High Celestial Plain.

The "Deep Blue" organization ranked eighth was unfamiliar to Li Zheng, and he hadn’t heard of them before. However, being ranked eighth indicated they weren’t weak.

At least there was a top player in this legion comparable to Liu Jiale.

"Huh?"

Li Zheng swept his eyes over the levels of legions like Kunlun, and found that most had reached Lv2, his eyes widened on the spot: "What the hell! Are you guys cheating?"

A level one legion has five hundred people, and it requires twenty thousand military achievements to advance to a level two legion.

If each legion member used all ten explorations every day, it would only add ten military achievements, meaning that a full level one legion would at most achieve five thousand military achievements a day, which still falls short by fifteen thousand.

Liu Qi quickly replied to Li Zheng’s private message: "Didn’t you know that when players leave a legion, their military achievements are reset to zero, but the achievements remain in the legion?"

Could there really be such an exploit?

"So you used this trick to fill up four days’ worth of military achievements in one day?" Li Zheng was surprised, truly living up to players’ reputation for finding exploits, even creating them if none exist!

"Yeah, but unfortunately, you found out too late. The terminal has already fixed this bug. In the future, to get ahead, you’ll only be able to rely on space teleportation items to jump rooms." Liu Qi’s tone carried a hint of regret, seemingly blaming the terminal for fixing the bug too quickly.

Fortunately, the terminal’s fix was fast enough!

Otherwise, letting you exploit military achievements from all potential members of the legion, getting five hundred thousand in one day wouldn’t be a difficult task, would it?

However, exploration also takes time, Li Zheng estimated that for a level one legion to rotate all five hundred people through would take at least about two hours.

Meaning that perhaps Liu Qi and the others started collecting military achievements and replacing members first thing in the morning, truly a hard task for legion leaders and vice leaders, engaging in such monotonous and tedious operations all day long, likely not wanting to touch legion features for a long time afterward.

"Hey Old Liu, did you ever consider something?" Li Zheng thought for a moment and asked: "Could this operation of yours disrupt tomorrow’s legion ranking?"

The legion rankings refresh daily, based on the highest tier creatures killed by members who haven’t left the legion the previous day.

A massive reset of military achievements like theirs might very well interfere with the leaderboard refresh the next day.

"I don’t know about the others, but we’ve been counting all day at Kunlun, and none of the members who have killed the highest tier creatures have left the legion," Liu Qi said with some pride.

Don’t be fooled by the leaderboard showing that only Kunlun among the level two legions has fewer military achievements, but rest assured, tomorrow’s ranking will be secure!

Li Zheng said a bit sourly: "Heh, so what if your legion is two thousand strong? We at Starting Point are still number one!"

He could not even imagine what chaos those players from the original channel 879 must be in now.

The ranking shows others are already level two legions while Starting Point remains at level one, as if determined not to let them join.

In fact, Li Zheng misjudged. The original channel 879 players not only had no complaints, but even advised Xiao Siyuan against following suit when they noticed other legions’ dubious operations.

Because as Li Zheng said, accepting new players as the first batch of members, even if they were to withdraw for the sake of upgrading the legion and rejoin later, it could still leave a bit of dissatisfaction in some hearts.

Conversely, these new players explore more slowly, so even if Starting Point Legion wanted to follow the trend, they did not have that capability...

When other members completed the ten daily explorations in two or three hours, these new members of Starting Point might take six to eight hours.

How could they compare?

If they followed the trend then, the bug might have been fixed even before they reached level two.

"We don’t mind, being able to secure second place is satisfactory enough, who dares to dream of taking first place? No more talking, I’m busy!"

Liu Qi stopped responding to Li Zheng’s private messages, perhaps having matters from the legion or Joanna needing his attention.

"Poli Poli!"

At this moment, the time for pink Poli to upgrade was just finished, its signature cry resounding outside the residence.

Li Zheng opened the residence door, saw the current state of pink Poli, and was shocked: "Wow, this is getting outrageous..."
