Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!
Chapter 98, Murder and Robbery
Lin Yue, number 13, found three pieces in the box. Adding the piece that Han Weiyi had drawn earlier, she now has a total of four pieces.
The total number of fragments is definitely limited. If you have more, it means that other participants will have fewer. Therefore, Lin Yue simply kept all the number 13s by herself.
While Lin Yue was busy, the others in the group were not idle either.
The conversation between Lin Yue and Lin Chenguang seemed to have instantly awakened other players in the area chat, and some immediately started trading. In particular, those players who only had one or two fragments and had no hope of piecing together the complete map were willing to exchange their fragments for other resources.
Moreover, to save time, many people sent their orders directly with the item number. The chat channel was soon filled with the sounds of haggling.
Han Weiyi, Zhou Zeyang, and others quickly seized the opportunity to acquire the treasure map, and were so lucky that they managed to collect the 8th and 17th pieces. At this point, Lin Yue's treasure map was only missing the last two pieces.
Once the 15-minute cooldown period for Skywing was over, Lin Yue didn't waste any time and continued to spread her wings and fly forward.
Just as Lin Yue was focused on her journey, her bracelet buzzed urgently again. She checked and saw that everyone in the group chat was calling her from the same time.
The first thing that catches the eye is Han Weiyi's anxious words: "Sister, be careful!"
Immediately afterward, Liang Dong added a reminder: "Avoid the crowds!"
Zhou Zeyang was even more direct: "Sister Lin Yue, quickly look at the points leaderboard!"
Zhao Lei: "Holy crap, that green tea guy isn't even bothering with the pretense anymore?"
Xu Tiantian: "!!!"
The crowd's reaction was quite strange. Lin Yue quickly opened the leaderboard as instructed, and then saw that Zhao Yuxuan, who was originally ranked seventh, had surpassed Lin Chenguang and directly rushed to the top spot.
Zhao Yuxuan: 1153 points.
Ok?
Lin Yue composed herself and took a closer look, then noticed the problem. Her ranking had unknowingly risen one place, and right behind her was a completely unfamiliar name with a score of 401.
Wang Wanru, who was originally ranked eighth on the list, has disappeared without a trace, as if she had never existed.
Han Weiyi: "Sister, 602 plus 551 equals 1153 points. Zhao Yuxuan and his group killed Wang Wanru!"
No wonder everyone reacted so strongly. Even though it's a competitive environment like the Floating Island Points Battle, many people have already accepted that there will be people who kill to steal treasures. But openly killing players on the leaderboard is no different from killing someone in front of the entire server.
Previously, although Huang Wenmin and Li Guang acted arrogantly, Zhao Yuxuan always portrayed himself as someone who wholeheartedly cared for the people. Now, for the sake of the prize, he has come clean and stopped pretending.
This news not only caused an uproar in Lin Yue's small group chat, but also instantly caused a stir in the regional chat group of the Seventh District.
"Why do we have to have this points-based battle? Waaah, I'm so scared! I want to go back to the platform, even if I'm starving!"
"More and more people are forming hunting teams, and they kill anyone they see! It's terrifying. I'm hiding in the woods now, too scared to move! Please don't find me!"
"What's wrong with this world? People are killing each other for no reason. Have they all gone mad?"
"Are you stupid? Killing people not only gives you points, but also drops supplies! It's much more worthwhile than painstakingly collecting airdrops. It's a survival game, what do you think?"
"Too unconscionable!"
Some were surprised, some were panicked, but before everyone could condemn those people, Zhao Yuxuan's score changed again, jumping directly to 1197.
In a short period of time, they gained more than forty points. Based on normal circumstances, it's clear they didn't stop there, but continued to slaughter their players.
Just then, the public opinion in the chat area quietly changed.
The players who were initially indignant began to disappear, replaced by voices flattering and fawning over Zhao Yuxuan and his group.
That's true. It's human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm, and fear is often more powerful than enticement.
However, judging from the current rankings, unless someone adopts the same strategy as Zhao Yuxuan, it will probably be very difficult to catch up with his score.
Lin Yue didn't know what the others were thinking, but for the people in her small group, including herself, it would probably be no easy task to overcome the psychological hurdle of "murder."
As expected, after their initial indignation, everyone in the small group fell silent. Apart from repeatedly reminding Lin Yue to be careful while traveling alone, no one mentioned the topic of points again.
Just as Lin Yue was figuring out what to do next, the person behind her suddenly saw their score jump up, pushing Lin Yue back to 10th place.
Undoubtedly, some people have started to resort to extreme measures. If others follow suit, it will be uncertain whether Lin Yue, Han Weiyi, and others can remain on the list.
Now that things had come to this, Lin Yue's desire to find the treasure grew even stronger. After all, the treasure map was drawn so intricately; if she could actually obtain it, the treasure should be incredibly valuable.
As Lin Yue continued flying northeast, the landscape of the floating island began to change noticeably. The vegetation became increasingly sparse, gradually being replaced by exposed rocks and sand.
When Skywing was about to reach its cooldown time again, Lin Yue circled in the air for a long time, but finally only found a slightly remote rock.
Lin Yue stopped behind the rocks, intending to rest for a while before continuing her journey. However, just as she was about to carefully compare the map, a shout suddenly came from behind her, followed by the sounds of fighting.
Lin Yue's heart tightened; she knew what the sounds of fighting meant. She quickly turned off the light screen on her bracelet, then carefully shifted her position and peeked out to see what was happening.
Through the narrow gaps between the rocks, Lin Yue could clearly see two groups of people engaged in fierce combat in an open area not far away.
One side had only two people and was clearly at a disadvantage. Although they seemed to have some martial arts skills, the other side had too many people and they were struggling to defend themselves.
Lin Yue originally didn't intend to meddle in other people's business. She knew that there were more than 7,000 people on this floating island, and she could only take care of the five people in the small group at most. But unfortunately, this was something she couldn't avoid just by ignoring it.
