Another tiger-striped shark died under Guhan's sword. This was Guhan's fifth kill. At the same time, the top five players on the leaderboard had all increased their kill scores to 2.
However, at this time, Gu Han did not continue to snatch the head. Instead, he quietly watched as the fifth bamboo raft gradually approached him. When the five bamboo rafts fused together, the bamboo raft under Gu Han's feet instantly turned into a small wooden boat. It was the simplest boat that could often be seen in a small river. In terms of area, it was even smaller than the bamboo raft.
"Transportation Level: Level 2: Wooden Boat (Upgrade Requirement: 0/25)"
Although the area was a little smaller, Gu Han realized the value of the upgrade when he actually controlled the wooden boat. It turned out that the speed of the wooden boat was more than twice as fast as the bamboo raft. This allowed Gu Han to move faster towards the sword bearers who were on the verge of falling under the teeth of the tiger-striped shark.
Three minutes after the battle began, Guhan's kill score had reached 11. However, after reaching 11, Guhan discovered that he could no longer increase his kill count.
There were many players and tiger-striped sharks around him.
However, according to Guhan's assessment, these players were all capable of killing the tiger-striped shark. If Guhan snatched the kill from their hands, they would be eliminated.
Although Guhan could be ruthless at times, this situation was beyond Guhan's control. So, Guhan simply gave up on killing the tiger-striped shark. Instead, he stopped his wooden boat and stopped moving.
This made the other Sword Bearers around him breathe a sigh of relief. They had been staring at Guhan as they fought, afraid that Guhan would snatch their kill. If Guhan tried to approach them, they would … They couldn't do anything else. Before killing their tiger-striped shark, they couldn't manually control the boat.
At that moment, Guhan did not move, but it did not mean that the other players would not move.
After a player near Guhan finally killed his tiger-striped shark, he began to look at the tiger-striped sharks of other players.
He had seen Guhan's actions just now. He felt that it was a good idea and that he should learn from it with a humble attitude.
So, the player set his sights on another player not far away.
Unlike Guhan, who only targeted the tiger-striped sharks that were impossible to kill, this player specifically targeted the tiger-striped sharks that were about to be killed. The reason was simple. It was faster to kill the tiger-striped shark!
In the end, the player who was about to kill the tiger-striped shark suddenly noticed a swordmistress appear beside him. Then, the swordmistress unleashed a powerful skill and killed his tiger-striped shark!
"System Notification: Your player, Yuan Kou, has been killed by Sword Bearer, Immovable You. Your preliminary round has ended. Your kill count is 0, and your rank is 0. You will leave the preliminary map in five seconds. Please wait patiently for the preliminary results. They will be sent to your mailbox in two hours."
"F * ck you, Old Wood!"
Even though the player wanted to curse Immovable You's ancestors, he only had five seconds. After five seconds, the player left the map with endless unwillingness.
"As expected, this is the right way!"
Immovable You exclaimed excitedly. It was as if he had seen a shortcut to the top of the leaderboards. By the end of the first round, nine Tiger-Striped Sharks had fallen victim to Immovable You. Immovable You's kill count quickly soared to ten, only one less than Gu Han's.
It was worth mentioning that Military Governor's name had fallen from the first place on the leaderboard. Now, the number of kills in the first place had reached 24, and the number of kills in the sixteenth place had reached 22.
It seemed that these players were like Immovable You. Their tiger-striped sharks had risen so quickly by killing the ordinary players who had worked so hard until their last drop of health.
Some people might think that it was unfair and that they were picking up scraps.
But who could they blame?
It was all because they were not fast enough to kill their enemies!
If they couldn't even protect their tiger-striped sharks, the top 16 in this region had nothing to do with them.
All in all, Guhan's 11 kill count was only around the 200s in the region. It seemed like he was still far from the standard. Of course, Guhan was very calm because he knew that the first round was just an appetizer. The real points would come later. It was not worth it for him to go against his principles for such a small amount of points.
But what Guhan didn't know was that there was already a top post on the forum. This post only did one thing, and that was to broadcast Military Governor's battle report throughout the entire process.
Those fans of Military Governor who also belonged to the 64th region all took screenshots of the 64th region's leaderboard before they left the region. As a result, the changes in Military Governor's ranking were displayed in the eyes of all the players who were browsing the forum.
In the beginning, it was just as everyone had expected. The Admiral was the only one left in the dust. Within a minute, he had obtained three points, and within three minutes, he had achieved 11 kills. At this time, the person in second place on the leaderboard only had three kills.
So everyone praised Military Governor for being awesome!
Awesome!
The first place of the treasured sword group was definitely him.
But after three minutes, something that no one could understand happened. Military Governor's points were stuck at 11, and the players behind him continued to increase.
Finally, in the seventh minute, the player in second place surpassed the Admiral, reaching a few points. After that, the Admiral's ranking dropped by three thousand feet, and in the end, he actually fell to a position in the two-hundredth place!
"F * ck!
I'm not a fan anymore. He's just a piece of trash! "Many players saw the change and said bitterly.
Fortunately, a player from the first scene quickly replied with an explanation. This was what he wrote.
"Everyone, stop arguing. Let me explain to everyone why Military Governor was stuck at 11 points.
I was at the first scene, and Military Governor was right beside me. I saw him kill 11 Tiger-Striped Sharks in three minutes, so he must be Military Governor.
Seeing Military Governor kill 11 people, I was so excited. I couldn't wait for Military Governor to come to my side. I'd rather give my Tiger-Striped Shark to him!
But after Military Governor killed 11, he stopped moving and stayed in place. He didn't kill another Tiger-Striped Shark until the end of the ten minutes.
At first, I couldn't understand why. Military Governor clearly had a lot of Tiger-Striped Sharks around him. With Military Governor's swordsmanship, even 124 Tiger-Striped Sharks could be killed by him, let alone 24. [This is too exaggerated. Guhan didn't even have 124 Tiger-Striped Sharks around him.]
Then, when a player called Immovable shamelessly killed a Tiger-Striped Shark that had only a sliver of HP left in it, I finally understood!
It turned out that Military Governor didn't want to steal those Tiger-Striped Sharks from us.
Because of all the remaining Tiger-Striped Sharks, there wasn't a single one that the players couldn't defeat. They were all stolen by other shameless players!
This meant that Military Governor had already seen through us. He didn't want to steal from us players who could kill Tiger-Striped Sharks with our own strength.
Oh my god!
My Military Governor is so great. I love my Military Governor more and more!
Military Governor, your sword scar is so handsome!
Just looking at your sword scar makes me wet. If you see this message, please add me on QQ: xxxxx564. I'll be waiting for you in Yuzhang City! "
Although the explanation was cut short in the end, the truth of the matter was greatly discounted. However, several other players who were assigned to the vicinity of Gu Han quickly posted their own screenshots to prove the statement in the reply.
In an instant, Military Governor's popularity rose in the forum. Everyone praised Military Governor for being a good person!
A perfect person!
It was the future of mankind and the hope of the world. Even a few players who had their tiger-striped sharks snatched by Gu Han came out to reply. They expressed that they definitely couldn't beat that tiger-striped shark, that the admiral had done the right thing in killing it, and that they were willing to give their tiger-striped sharks to the admiral.
…
According to the system, there was a ten-minute break for the second round of battle.
Taking advantage of this time, the players around Guhan drove their bamboo rafts or wooden boats away from Military Governor. They were afraid that Guhan would steal their prey again in the second round.
Of course, there were also players who did the opposite. Four to five players took the initiative to drive their boats to Guhan's side and shouted excitedly, "Military Governor!
Military Governor!
I'm your fan!
Can I take a screenshot with you?
We'll give you our Yuan Kou later! "
These were probably Guhan's fans and fangirls. Guhan felt a headache when he saw them. He could only wave his hand and ask them to quiet down. Then, he said softly, "Be quiet. Let's listen to the sound of the waves."
Therefore, the players instantly quieted down and accompanied the Military Governor to listen to the sound of the waves.
It was said that one of the players recorded Guhan's words and made it into a call notification. He then posted it on the internet for everyone to download. The number of downloads exceeded a million in a week.
"System Notification: The second round of the Qualifier has officially begun. Players, the sea around you will be randomly spawned with seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. Based on the order of the seven colors, the kill value of Yuan Kou in each sea region will be different. Each sea region will have 100 Yuan Kou. Players who have killed at least one Yuan Kou in a level 1 sea region will be allowed to enter the next colored Yuan Kou sea region."
"System Notification: Please choose the sea region you want to kill Yuan Kou according to your ability. The quest duration is 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, players who have killed less than 5 will leave the battlefield. Good luck."
