“I'm getting old, I can't move anymore.” Ji Rui Guang stopped and sat down on a rock.
The entire team looked at this Earthling, their faces filled with anger.
“Ji Rui Guang, what exactly do you want to do?”
Ji Rui Guang chuckled and opened his clothes to reveal a wound underneath.
From his left abdomen to his right chest was a gruesome knife wound that was about thirty centimeters long. It had already closed up, but it was still seeping blood with his movements.
“I’m injured, I can’t be like you all.”
Everyone fell silent.
In the recent battle, this Earthling had indeed played a crucial role; his abilities and timing were key to defeating that powerful parasite.
As a result, their team, which numbered over twenty and would receive a fifteen percent increase in points according to the new rules, belonging to six different races, would also gain an additional twenty percent increase in points. After hunting the parasite ranked three hundred and tenth on the list, they earned a total of one hundred thirty-five percent points, totaling two hundred thirty points. Each person received nine to twelve points based on their contribution.
This was just a small trial; they had already set their sights on a type of gregarious parasite. Although its ranking wasn’t as high as the one they had just hunted, its numbers were significant, and if successful, each person could expect to earn around thirty points.
Counting the miscellaneous points accumulated along the way, they could expect around forty to fifty points by the end of the day.
They were clear about Ji Rui Guang's contributions, but he was not irreplaceable. With only one Earthling among them, if he left, the points reward would drop by five percent, which was not worth the loss in their view.
Of course, perhaps later on, as the deadline for the battlefield approached, he could still serve as a mobile points reservoir…
“How long do you need to rest?”
A giant life form asked in a deep voice.
If Ye Zhongming were here, he would recognize that these three beings were indeed from the Spear Clan.
“About half an hour. Once the blood coagulates, we’ll set off. You can use this time to hunt around and earn some points.”
Ji Rui Guang’s smile was warm and friendly.
These beings thought it made sense, and they scattered to look for prey, hoping to increase their points.
After all, while they had found a quick and straightforward way to earn points, their current points were still few, and their ranking was quite low.
Ji Rui Guang sat there, seemingly in a daze, but in reality, he was browsing through the recorder.
“Mu Hanyi has thirty-eight points, hmm, increased by three points? This guy is pretty impressive.”
“Why does Gongcai have so few points, only six? Did something happen?”
“Jin Lisheng is doing quite well, already over twenty points.”
“What about Ye Zhongming? Let me see, oh, almost fifty points, no wonder he’s the top person from the national district.”
He searched for the members he knew were from Earth on the points leaderboard, observing their rankings.
As the boss of Zone C and the actual leader of the entire resistance zone for a long time, Ji Rui Guang had heavy thoughts; no one knew what he was thinking.
Even his demeanor and performance since becoming a nine-star evolver had changed drastically.
This was a common feeling shared by many of the leaders in the resistance area.
Ji Rui Guang, in the past, was silent and ruthless, a person who prioritized interests above all else. However, in the short time after becoming a nine-star evolver, he gave off a sense of lightness and calm.
Many believed this was a sign of a breakthrough in mindset after reaching a higher level, while others said it was due to a shift in perspective.
This team was organized by the changed Ji Rui Guang.
Out of these twenty individuals, more than half were persuaded by him to join. Different races, complete strangers, were under new rules where they could still kill each other. The difficulty was evident.
