“Chapter Four ~~ At this moment, Old Phantom is not feigning a hand injury ~~”
Jie Kui's meaning was not casually expressed.
After selling numerous potions, this female lifeform had accumulated around one hundred and fifty points. Even if she had previously earned not a single point, she could still rank among the top two thousand. And could she really have earned nothing at all? Obviously not. Even if she only had seventy points, which was the score of the last eliminated contestant, her total points would still exceed two hundred and twenty, more than fifty points more than Ye Zhongming. This score had already placed her among the top five hundred.
To suggest "I'll follow you" to someone who has more points and a higher rank than you? This kind of confidence, or outright shamelessness, is simply shocking.
This female lifeform had long blue hair, and her facial features were exquisitely beautiful. Even with a red symbol on her forehead, she conformed perfectly to human aesthetic standards.
However, her body design was a bit unconventional.
Her metal armor was designed very femininely, only covering the important areas below her chest and waist. Yes, this lingerie-like design was incredibly exquisite, accentuating her figure to near perfection. The thin veil that fell naturally over her bra and panties added a touch of allure and temptation.
What was unconventional was that her wrists, ankles, and thighs bore beautiful blue patterns, almost identical to the color of her hair.
When the female lifeform heard Ye Zhongming's words, she smiled and then shook her head. Her attitude could be considered quite good, as she did not respond and continued to tidy up her belongings.
"Your points are very high, but most of them were likely earned from selling potions, right? Previously, you only had ninety points, ranking among the bottom."
Ye Zhongming continued, and Jie Kui had already put away her previous expression, looking at this stunningly beautiful female lifeform with contemplation.
The female lifeform paused in her movements, then raised her head and looked seriously at Ye Zhongming.
"It's not surprising you guessed that. Now, everyone’s points are generally in a stable state. Those who have spent points are out of the picture, while those who have gained them are those who sold things. Only two individuals could increase their points by such a large margin at once. With just a little attention to the changes in points, one can discern who is who. So..."
Ye Zhongming shrugged and stopped there.
The female lifeform showed an appreciative gaze and spoke in her gentle voice, "Well, you are correct. But is that the reason you want me to follow you?"
Ye Zhongming did not understand lip reading, but after all, he was a top evolver, and this female lifeform's features were similar to those of humans. From the shape of her lips, the King of Cloud Summit could grasp most of her meaning, coupled with Jie Kui's assistance, communication posed no obstacles.
"Of course not. Saying this is just to let you know that I am not acting impulsively or recklessly."
Ye Zhongming gestured and continued, "According to the rules of the novice battlefield, there are two ways to earn points more quickly and effectively. One is cooperation, leveraging the point increase rules, and the other is killing, utilizing the plundering rules."
"The first method of cooperation is better with more people and varied races. One can imagine that towards the later stages of the novice battlefield, those powerful and gregarious prey on the list will gradually become targets. Each hunt could produce thousands or even tens of thousands of points, and those participating will gain plenty of bonuses."
"Look around you; novices are communicating with each other a lot. This is all preparation to take this path. It won't be long before, perhaps in one or two cycles, large-scale novice temporary teams will take shape."
The female evolver looked at Ye Zhongming with great interest. Even though she always gave off a spring-like vibe, there was still a hint of mockery.
