Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Once the mother s.h.i.+p along with the fleet off from the Earth to the universe, Zhao Yu’s guess could be tested and verified. If the Empire’s scouting system was based on dark matter, they could began on their plan.

Their second stage was going to the edge of the fourth spiral arm of the Milky Way, establish a new secret base, and a started to build their army.

Zhao Yu also had some ideas on the usage of his army.

Either the t.i.tle of Mysterious Merchant or the King of War, he need to interact with other civilizations.

Zhao Yu plans to send out those army to destroy some military units of other civilizations in order to gain technology points.

Zhao Yu also had a candidate to begin with.

Once his army was established, the Modou civilization was his primary target.

Zhao Yu first stage of plan was to launch an attack on Fire Fury Civilization, by requesting Colonel Chu to destroy at least 60,000 military units as distraction.

With 50,000 experience points collected from the t.i.tle reward, Zhao Yu will be able to upgrade the base to Level 3.

To travel from the solar system to the Fire Fury civilization, it will take nearly a month.

In the meantime, all Zhao Yu can do is continually enter and exit the quantum world, partic.i.p.ate in matches, and strive to secure

After about twenty days of combat, Zhao Yu’s ranking has already reached 7 stars with 2 points, placing him third.

Since he could not check the ranking board, Zhao Yu did not know how many stars and points needed to surpa.s.s first and second rank.

Today, Zhao Yu entered the quantum world for increasing his rank as usual.

After an hour, he still did not match up with a single opponent.

” Where are all the seven-stars players?”

Zhao Yu pauses for a moment, and decides to lower the matching criteria, adding 6 stars to the candidate column.

But to his surprise, another half an hour pa.s.ses, and he has not matched with any 6-star opponent.

He realized that something is off.

He had spent some time at the six-star level before, the players were few but this time he encountered a situation where he could not match with anyone for half an hour.

Zhao Yu simply cancelled the matching, walked out to gather some news.

After making a round, he indeed obtained some useful information.

“Five-star, six-star, seven-star players, many have been bought off. They are not partic.i.p.ating in the battles now…”

“What do you mean?”

“It means that the top ten players want to secure their ranks by not partic.i.p.ating!”

“Wait, are we allowed to have transactions between players? How can they buy people off?!”

“Fool, how about the duel platform? They can just pretend to be gambling, losing on purpose to transfer dark matter to the other party!!!”

“So that’s what’s happening!”

Zhao Yu did not expect someone to do such a thing.

As far as he knew, there were six people in the top ranking.

These were not official figures, it was some leaked information by the people themselves.

It was unclear but no one disputed it, so it seemed likely.

Among them, the second-ranked player was clearly a tyrant. In just over twenty days, they had already spent 60 million dark matter, completely disregarding the well-being of their people, caring only for their own pleasure.

That player had already acquired five Type-A Life Elixirs, extending his lifespan by another five months.

Zhao Yu returned to the matching center.

This time, he directly began matching with four-star opponents.

This time, he matched up with an opponent in a short while.

When his opponent saw that he was facing a seven-star player, he immediately revealed a dumbfounded expression.

[Hint: If a four-star player wins, they will receive three points. If a four-star player fails, one point will be deducted.]

Zhao Yu had known this as lowering his star matching came with the higher risk.

Zhao Yu was very confident in his own skills, so he thought that even if he dropped down to a lower star level, he would not lose.

Zhao Yu himself had played six to seven hundred games so far and his win streak record was unbreakable.

Ten minutes later, the battle ended, and Zhao Yu secured the victory.

Soon, rumors about a seven-star player was bas.h.i.+ng all the four-star players spread among the players.

During the ranking match, both sides of the battle could not see each other’s names.

Therefore, no one could identify Zhao Yu. Within a day, he had successfully won fifty matches.

His had reached seven-star with 52 points. His ranking had also risen from third place to second place.

Finally, he got to know about the score of the second-ranked plater. It was seven-star with 35 points.

But he still had to caught up with the first place!

Zhao Yu guessed that the first-place player must have started rus.h.i.+ng their rank during the week he did not play, which led to a significant point gap.

Zhao Yu’s breakthrough to second place didn’t seem to affect him much, and in the following days, he continued his ranking matches.

On the Count’s Island, the original second-place tyrant was furious, searching around to teach the person who stole his rank a lesson.

He even made a bold wager, proposing a one-on-one duel with a bet of ten million.

The ten million wager was enticing enough. Zhao Yu eagerly rushed over, but ended up being treated like a fraud.

Many people pretended to be him and wanted to duel with the tyrant.

Without any doc.u.ments to proof his rank. Zhao Yu was terribly frustrating about it.

As the first season was about to end, Zhao Yu ran into trouble again; he could not even match with any four-star players.

Although he had reached eight stars, his ranking still remained the same.

Zhao Yu had no choice but to decrease further the matching range to 1 star.

This meant that anyone who partic.i.p.ated in the ranking would be able to match him.

If he was matched with a one-star, his opponent party would win by 8 points, while he would only win by 1 point.

As news of Zhao Yu’s battle with a one-star player spread, Count’s Island was discussing about it.

“He was over confident, was he?”

“He really not afraid of losing?”

“The returns are too low. losing just once means all the effort is for nothing!”

“This is just too outrageous…”

Although people were astounded, their actions were telling a different story. Whether they were one-star, two-star, three-star, or four-star players, everyone started to join the matches.

They all wanted to encounter this eight-star player, curious about his strength and testing their luck to accidently win against the upper rank player.

However, not a single person on Count Island could beat this eight-star player, who even advanced to nine-star.

With only ten minutes left until the end of first season, Zhao Yu checked his own ranking points.

[9th star, 85 points]

His ranking points were already very high. At this moment, he was in first place. He had surpa.s.sed the previous first-place holder when he was at 59 points in the eight-star rank.

Zhao Yu was worried that the previous first-place holder might make a last-minute surge, just like him, so he didn’t dare to stop playing, fearing that his top spot might be taken.

At this moment, Count Island was bustling with excitment.

These days, the maximum number of players online at any one time being around ten thousand.

As the first season was about to end, Count Island has almost a hundred thousand people gathered.

The ten minutes pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the first season leaderboard was officially announced.

[Rank 1: Zhao Yu, Star: 9 stars, points: 85 points]

[Rank 2: Hu w.a.n.g, Star: 8 stars, points: 78 points]

[Rank 3: Ke Lie, 8 stars, points: 8 points]

[..]

As the leaderboard was revealed, people began turning their heads, searching the crowd.

“Who is Zhao Yu? Where is Zhao Yu?!”

“Over here!!!”

With all the attentions, Zhao Yu was found out by the crowd.

“Holy cow, this guy looks so ordinary, but his skills are incredibly strong…”

“What does his appearance have to do with his skills? The rankings are about tactical strength”

At that moment, Ke Lie, with a face full of anger, charged towards Zhao Yu..
