I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 335: Chapter 234: Points Overtake!

When the clock strikes midnight again.

The leaderboard of the Slaughter Battlefield reappeared in the sky.

”Congratulations to all the chosen ones who can still see this screen, you’ve successfully survived the second night.”

”Next, let me explain two updates.”

”Change one: Unlock a tier in the Realm.”

”Change two: Please prepare ten thousand Gold Coins by midnight tonight.”

No new rules today.

Currently, the first place on the leaderboard is still Dream Demon Frog.

Controlled by him, the Life and Death Apostle continues to kill replicas, with his Points now exceeding ten million.

Because the Fallen Knight is still imprisoned, the rate at which the Life and Death Apostle absorbs energy to replicate and create life has greatly diminished compared to yesterday.

However, it is still rapidly ascending at a rate of 500,000 Points per hour.

As for the second place, it’s still Han Zhan with 6480 Points.

Han Zhan glanced at his phone and spoke resolutely, ”I want to exchange Gold Coins for Points! All of them!”

The next second.

One and a half million Gold Coins in his account were all emptied, and simultaneously, his Points refreshed to the first position!

First on the leaderboard, Han Zhan, one million five hundred thousand and six thousand four hundred eighty Points!

Directly pulling ahead of Dream Demon Frog by a whole five million Points!

Completing the overtake!

”Now, at the pace of Frog’s Life and Death Apostle today, it should be difficult to surpass me.”

He looked up at the leaderboard, a faint smile appearing on Han Zhan’s face.

It’s a pity not being in the prison to see the expression on Frog’s face right now.

Han Zhan was certain that Frog’s expression must be quite spectacular now.

”But Ah Zhan, why do we need to rush our Points to the top now? Doesn’t that reveal how many Points we have to them?”

”Shouldn’t we save our Points until the last day and then... then...”

Gonang Jin was trying to organize her thoughts, searching for the right words.

”You’re talking about tower stealing, right?” Han Zhan picked up on her words.

Indeed, for something like leaderboard rankings, unless there’s an absolute strength advantage, they should initially accumulate power in secret and launch a full-force attack on the last day, just as Gongyang Jin suggested!

Doing so greatly increases the chances of ultimate victory.

”I have my reasons for not doing that.”

”Xiao Jin, what do you think of the rules of the Slaughter Battlefield?”

How are the rules? Why is Ah Zhan asking me about the rules?

Surprised by the sudden question, Gongyang Jin was somewhat perplexed, but she still spoke based on her observations over the past two days, combined with her judgment:

”The rules of the Slaughter Battlefield are very vague.”

”It’s like being given only an outline of a story without any detailed text; all the details need to be deduced and guessed.”

Exactly, just like that.

Not just Gongyang Jin, but Han Zhan also had a similar feeling.

For example, his previously deduced ”role identity” belonged to hidden rules, and there was no Introduction about this aspect on the digital screen at all.

”Last night, there was an update to the Slaughter Battlefield’s rules. Besides the leaderboard, I suspect there are extra hidden rules.”

Han Zhan’s suspicion was reinforced by one important reason.

That reason was Frog’s behavior.

There were two aspects of Frog’s abnormal behavior,

Firstly, when he was imprisoned, he emphasized to Han Zhan that he was in first place on the leaderboard with some deliberate intent.

Secondly, even though he was in first place on the leaderboard, pulling ahead of second place Han Zhan by at least a million points, after midnight, he kept killing replicas, continuing to climb Points.

If tower stealing is a normal mindset,

Why didn’t Frog keep those replicas and kill them all at the last day to gain a large number of Points and make the final sprint?

Moreover, the benefits of keeping those replicas without killing them would be greater.

Dream Demon Frog, such a shrewd and meticulous scientist, couldn’t possibly be confused by such matters.

So Han Zhan speculated, the only possibility was:

”There’s a reward for being first on the leaderboard every day!”

”Only this explanation can clarify why Frog is trying so hard to maintain the first position.”

”As for whether my speculation is correct, we’ll know after 6 PM today, when the leaderboard finishes ranking.”

...

Shudian, film base.

Zhan Ning and Yu Lian were lying on lounge chairs, with two assistants attending to them on either side.

Todays have changed.

Yesterday, they were just two invisible actors in Shudian shooting cliched romance dramas, but today they suddenly became famous!

Because of a leaked photo,

Zhan Ning and Yu Lian themselves were already Knights, carrying a certain special aura.

Needless to say for Zhan Ning, if he wasn’t good-looking, there wouldn’t be so many women wanting to be with him, allowing him to change ”true love” every night.

Yu Lian, on the other hand, has a more delicate beauty, a charm that appeals to both genders.

Their photos quickly went viral online, with their popularity and fan count skyrocketing.

In an era where heterosexual marriage rates are plummeting, same-sex pairings seem more appealing.

Thus, naturally, the two of them became famous.

The next day, a big director in Shudian approached them, wanting to sign a major contract.

A high-sweet romance drama focusing on the main male lead and the second male lead.

Upon seeing the script, Yu Lian’s face turned green, and he firmly rejected the olive branch offered by the director.

Unexpectedly, this aloofness impressed the director, who, after weighing various factors, actively started increasing the offer.

As he said,

”There’s nothing in this world that money can’t move. If there is, it means there’s not enough money.”

Watching Yu Lian and Zhan Ning in the Shudian crew now, surrounded by nanny cars, personal secretaries, and managers, with assistant directors discussing plots nearby,

This scene once again validated the director’s words to be absolutely correct!

”Just bear it for a while, bear it a little longer!”

Lying comfortably on the lounge chair, stretching lazily, Zhan Ning advised the slightly reluctant Yu Lian beside him.

”Things like this, since you’ve experienced it once, those who need to see have seen it, those who shouldn’t by nature won’t see it.”

”What more do you have to get past mentally?”

His tone was like an elder advising a young woman who had gone astray.

Anyway, the first time is over, does the second, third time still matter?

Hearing this, Yu Lian wanted to punch him a few times.

But Zhan Ning had a point; there’s no need to go against the flow of money.

The two Punishment Knights of the Sun Never Sets Knight Order aren’t foolish either; they, like Han Zhan, speculated their role identity—a Shudian actor.

According to the current rules of the Slaughter Battlefield, the fourth day requires 10,000 Gold Coins, the fifth day 100,000, the sixth day a million, and the seventh day ten million.

If they want to survive seven days, they need to earn over ten million more!
