Chapter 340: 340, [Learning Swordsmanship]
“Lu Xun of the Demon Sect”, the four words hung at the top, catching all players’ attention.
“Purple Palace is badass! Our Demon Sect is awesome!” The Demon Sect players began to cheer.
“World Protagonist evidence is ironclad!”
“Hold on, aren’t you comparing with the others on the leaderboard? The contribution points of the Purple Palace are ridiculously high!”
“Yeah, that’s what, how many multiples of the second place? Let me do the math, wait for me for half an hour.”
In fact, there were quite a few people on the leaderboard, both NPCs and players.
After all, as long as the Foreign Race is killed, contribution points can be earned. The first batch of the Foreign Race has probably been on the Heavenly Dust Continent for a while, and there are likely quite a few of them. Logically, it’s impossible for there to be no friction with the natives, so it’s normal for a few NPCs to have killed members of the foreign race.
As for players killing the Foreign Race, that’s even more reasonable. After all, the Foreign Race members are all marked red, and players treat them like wild monsters, cutting them down on sight without any banter.
And after the killing, they might not even know what they’ve killed…
But because players have low cultivation bases, they can only kill the most insignificant members of the Foreign Race, and their contribution points are minuscule.
Currently, the player with the most contribution points has only 21…
That’s even less than a fraction of Lu Xun’s points.
The NPCs’ scores are relatively higher.
Like Tianhe Shangren of the Tianque Gate, who killed sixty-plus level Liu Ying.
He just happens to occupy the second position on the leaderboard.
Technically, Tianhe Shangren shouldn’t be able to make it on the leaderboard.
He’s way too many levels above the players.
When he was last in retreat, he was already at the peak of the sixth realm and broke through to the seventh realm after coming out of retreat.
But because he left retreat forcibly, his cultivation base was completely wasted. He preserved the last few years of his life with the help of Lu Xun’s green pearl and could never cultivate again, becoming an old man at level 0. Thus, he somehow made it onto the leaderboard…
His contribution points are also only 600 points.
400 points came from Liu Ying and 200 points came from the giant eagle beast controlled by Liu Ying.
But look at Lu Xun, that’s a whopping 13187 points!
Isn’t that excessive?
In fact, looking at this leaderboard, Lu Xun doesn’t find it surprising.
“Low-level Foreign Races aren’t worth much. I killed so many outside Lotus Village and only totaled 87 points. This player having 21 points is already pretty good,” Lu Xun thought.
“And the valuable Foreign Races have high levels. Players can’t kill them even in groups. Charging in to cut them down is just feeding them.”
“The NPCs that can kill these kinds of Foreign Races are definitely much higher level than players and aren’t within the leaderboard rules.”
“The most reliable example is Senior Yanli.”
“Senior Yanli must have killed a lot of Foreign Races, seeing as the teacher always sent him out to deal with them. The foreign woman I saw alone had a high level.”
“But Senior Yanli’s level is too high to be counted.”
“That’s right, Gongshu Pan should also have quite a few contribution points. After all, he was mainly responsible for destroying the altar in the Lost Forest. I only grazed 500 points of contribution, and he should have several thousand. After all, altars are the most valuable, each usually starts at five thousand.”
“But he’s over level 80. When players level up to 60, he still won’t be able to make it on the leaderboard… It’s a pity I didn’t see the names Zhuge Lai Fu and Gongshu Pan on the leaderboard in my previous life, haha!”
“My high contribution points are mainly because I destroyed several altars. If you rely on killing Foreign Races to collect contribution points, it’s not easy to gather them, and it’s arduous,” Lu Xun thought to himself.
However, while these contribution points appear reasonable to him, to the players, it’s a totally different story!
After all, this leaderboard just started, and players are in the exploratory stage, only half understanding how to get contribution points. They don’t get it at all.
All they feel is a huge visual impact from these numbers; they appear awesome!
“I’m flabbergasted! Over ten thousand contribution points, what the hell did Purple Palace do to the Foreign Race!?” A silly player commented on the forum.
“Poor Foreign Race, they must have suffered a ruthless attack from the World Protagonist!”
“It’s too cruel, have the Foreign Race been abused? Purple Palace didn’t secretly perform any huge surprises, did they?”
“The guess above is probably correct, the possibility is extremely high. These insane contribution points surely aren’t just from killing the Foreign Race, there must have been something crucial for the whole Heavenly Dust Continent! Worthy of being the World Protagonist!”
“Purple Palace is truly handsome and low-key, pity about the lack of strength!”
“You guys talk a lot, I only have one thing to say: Purple Palace is awesome!”
“Purple Palace is awesome +1!”
“Purple Palace is awesome +1!”
Then, the echo mode began…
Seeing the comments on the forum, Lu Xun smiled faintly.
In his past life, he dreamt of ranking high on the Faction Contribution Points Leaderboard, not just out of vanity while playing the game, but more so to increase his exposure and thus get more tasks and earn more money.
Who would have thought that after crossing over, he not only made it to the leaderboard but also in a dust-leading manner?
But what he’s anticipating more now is something else.
He’s waiting for the game version to update!
