Chapter 749: 749

Li Yao was taken aback and smiled bitterly, “Far from, I just hope we can be lucky enough to squeeze into the top ten.”

“Heh, the Starfire Guild isn’t that large, but their ambitions sure are. Top ten, huh? You’re not afraid that your tongue will catch wind and snap off.”

“Exactly, such arrogance. Acting invincible just because you’ve won once. How pathetic.”

“I’ve been looking at the merit board for quite some time now, where is Starfire? No sight of you guys even in the top hundred. A trash guild after all.”

The surrounding players couldn’t help but chime in.

Players can only view the merit board when they can submit their merits, and Starfire has long been squeezed out by guilds that have already submitted their merit medals.

...

Li Yao couldn’t be bothered dealing with them. His goal isn’t just the top ten, but the very first place. He was merely being polite to Edward, but ended up getting ridiculed by the crowd.

Hence, Li Yao didn’t even spare them a glance, choosing to completely ignore them.

Edward wasn’t interested in others’ opinions either, he said, “You are certainly modest. I admire your tricks, I fell right into your trap.”

“Cough, how could that be a trap? I didn’t force you to wear the medal.” Li Yao pretended to know nothing.

“It’s useless for you to pretend. Besides, I admit defeat from the last game. However, we also encountered some good fortune and acquired quite a lot of merits. We might not necessarily lose to you.” Edward grinned.

Li Yao nodded, “I believe it. Let’s see how many merits you guys have earned then.”

A few minutes later, the merit board almost came to a standstill. Edward’s guild was ranked third. The guild that could summon the Angel Legion remained at second place.

Furthermore, their merits were double that of Edward’s.

“Unexpectedly, the dark horse is the Devil Alliance?” Edward said with a frown.

“Seems so.” Li Yao nodded.

“Alright, keep hiding your cards. The submission deadline is closing, let’s see you cry once you miss it.” Edward was very curious as to how much merit Starfire had obtained, given their overflowing confidence.

To be frank, Edward didn’t anticipate the dark horse. He had mentally prepared to lose to Starfire, but this dark horse guild with no impressing record had their merits surpassing even his, tarnishing his mood.

Not only Edward, many guilds were dissatisfied with their rankings.

Although the rewards for ranks two to ten were nearly identical, nothing could mitigate the prestige that a higher rank represented.

“Has the Starfire guild given up?”

“Where are those top ten points you boasted about?”

“Yeah, what happened, gone into hiding? Can’t even see you in the top thousand.”

“You people, he was just bragging and got instantly humiliated. My mood is already terrible, now you all have to expose Starfire’s embarrassment, seriously.”

“Exactly, let’s not tear people down in hard times. Silently watching this mess would’ve been enough, why the need to expose them?”

Mocking comments from the crowd filled the air immediately. They had their reasons for being upset.

Reaching level thirty once entering the interior of the Trial Ground was typical, but they also experienced the difficulty of leveling up at level thirty. Presently, anyone above level thirty was deemed extraordinarily high.

In the end, the Archangel mysteriously bestowed Divine Power onto Li Yao. After killing a real projection of a god, everyone leveled up twice. This had saved them a considerable amount of time leveling up.

Li Yao, now at level thirty-three, topped the level board. The other members of Starfire, all at level thirty-two, occupied the top ten positions. This upset many.

What was even more irritating was that the Archangel wanted to give out the rewards early to Starfire. It was simply outrageous. In their view, that should be everyone’s reward. Without them, how could Li Yao complete the main quest?

Nor could they tolerate those who sought to claim the best benefits before the ranking was even determined. If they were content with such a situation, they would be considered weird. Hence, they did not hold back their words.

Li Yao emptied his glass of Winter Veil Toast and said, “It’s about time, let’s submit our merits.”

“Alright, let the world see the worth of our merits.” Li Jie* promptly placed all the merit medals into the virtual warehouse.

In an instant, the teams ranked in over ten thousand places all saw their ranks drop one place, and everyone watched as Starfire’s ranking ascended like a rocket.

It continued to soar without slowing down, with the golden light directly surging up. In no time at all, they reached second place.

But that didn’t mark the end. A few seconds later, Starfire’s merits surpassed that of the first team.

However, the merit number was still soaring. Utter silence enveloped the platform.

A few seconds later, Starfire’s merit points had already exceeded twice that of the second team. Ten seconds later, the figure finally stopped climbing. Everyone was stunned as Starfire’s merit points were five times that of the team in second place.

The team initially in the first place, the one that had won the Angel Legion, had already begun celebrating. They were assured of their advantage and had prepared to accept their win, especially when they were ahead by such a large margin, even Edward’s team was half their score away.

Not only them, but everyone else had also believed the same until they witnessed this scene. Ten players who were celebrating froze on the spot.

Although only one place behind, the difference in reputation and rewards was significant.

The rank of Grand Marshal itself was seen as supreme, and the inherent benefits alone were enough to make people jealous.

“This is impossible, how could they have so many merits.”

This confusion lingered in everyone’s mind as they looked in Starfire’s direction with mixed feelings. However, those guilds that had witnessed Starfire’s airship sighed knowingly, as they had expected this result.

However, these larger guilds had their sources. They quickly obtained detailed information and videos, finally understanding the situation.

“The ranking is now fixed. In two hours, the banquet will conclude. After dispersing, the ranking here will affect your seating arrangement in future banquets. It will be just like last time.” Tyrael’s figure faded, “You can collect your rewards in any main city now.”

The players were left with a mix of feelings. Except for Starfire, almost every guild’s rank had changed. The ranking for the first expedition to the level thirty group was also set.

Starfire was still at the top, just much more eye-catching. The Trial Ground had been fought over so fiercely and was even used for ranking, demonstrating its other significant uses, possibly even for future competitions. Hence, the ranking this time was of utmost importance.

“Finally, it’s all over.” Li Yao revealed a smile. After this ranking, although Starfire remained a small guild, its fame and exposure were no longer the same as before.

After this event, Starfire would presumably welcome a variety of business partnerships and finally have its source of income.

“Big Brother, now that you’ve finished this task, what are you going to be busy with next?” The wide-eyed Dumb Bunny* looked at Li Yao with expectation.

Li Yao patted her head and smiled, “Don’t worry, I’ll play with you guys for a few days before delving into other matters. It’s about time I relaxed a bit.”

But could Li Yao really relax? Even though he said so, he himself wasn’t so sure…
