The New Alt Account Appears: How to Counter an Alt-Topping the Rankings!

On Island 2086.

A man with a sleazy appearance was huddled in a high-rise room in the Safe Zone, lying on the bed scrolling through the group chat in front of him.

"Heh heh, you bunch of idiots, I don't believe you don't know?"

"What do you mean, 'scammed out of 100 taels'? That's bullshit."

"Don't you know you were sneaking in to scout, and you're just fishing here?!"

As he spoke, he uttered words that were not what he truly meant.

At that moment, a jade talisman next to them lit up.

A human face appears.

"Boss, the constitution points for cannon fodder number one are ready; it can instantly reach 400 constitution points!"

"Great, M! Even if I drop a place in the rankings this time, I can't let that Canxue get on the leaderboard again. I'm going to break his reign!" Empty 2086 exclaimed excitedly.

That's right, this is the classic "small account to top the leaderboard" tactic.

Let the alt accounts, which have no real ambitions, accumulate resources. Keep accumulating, create multiple alt accounts, and take turns accumulating resources. Use them whenever needed.

"Okay, boss. This time, the leaderboard allows you to accumulate enough points in Constitution and learn all the Skill Stone in five minutes. It's just that the cost is a bit high. So many precious Skill Stone are going to be given to a cannon fodder..." the person on the other end said regretfully.

Normally, the 400 points of Constitution from a well-balanced skill set would be enough to create a master.

The result was that he learned all sorts of random skills—mining, hammers, swords, guns—learning a whole bunch of random things. How could that possibly be good?

When others have Expert Level or even Master Level swordsmanship, with extraordinary power and superb skills, you will only have a dozen or so Basic Swordsmanship and Basic Spear Techniques. You will only have accumulated high physique, but without output or evasion, you will just be a punching bag and a health pack!

"That's not something you need to worry about. Keep searching for Skill Stone. I'm going to crush him again next time!"

"Didn't you say you didn't want to be on the leaderboards? Then don't take any of them!" Empty 2086 said through gritted teeth.

"Understood, boss."

Empty 2086 extinguished the jade talisman, a smug look on his face.

He still harbored resentment because he hadn't managed to steal from Gao Linzhi last time.

This time, he was determined not to fail at stealing it.

He glanced at the Overall Ranking again; Can Xue Waves Across the Map's score was still 341,000.

It hasn't been touched for two weeks.

The people below them only had a few thousand points, and that number gradually increased.

That's normal.

Initially, most people didn't have much stockpiled.

Only a regional leader like him could mobilize a large amount of resources in a short period of time to build up a small account that was destined to be useless.

Anyway, I'm just a cannon fodder player; if I'm useless, so be it.

Moreover, this was a strategic strike.

After just two or three tries, you'll be able to reach a compromise with that Canxue.

This is the adult world.

He's not like the villains in novels, mindlessly hating the other side.

Hatred exists, but it's not mindless.

The purpose of suppressing the other party is still to achieve greater benefits for oneself.

Next time, if he can get the top spot again, he can negotiate with the player with Canxue.

He takes this time, and the other party takes it once.

A win-win situation for both parties.

Otherwise, we'll just have to wait for him to keep throwing money at the problem and knock the other team off the leaderboard.

Because this time it was truly instantaneous.

He didn't believe the other side could possibly have many more players.

Gaining 341 points in constitution in one go is already quite terrifying.

He managed to raise a new account to over 400 points in constitution.

The opponent might still have some items left, but if they get greedy and don't click on them in time, they can win.

He looked at his plan with smug satisfaction, certain of its success.

Even if it fails, it can still greatly deplete the Canxue.

If a list like this appears again, will someone with Canxue still be able to gain hundreds more points of constitution?

That's impossible.

There are still limitations to the acquisition of Constitution Points in the game.

First, there's the limit to the number of skill slots; second, there's the difficulty in obtaining Skill Stone; and third, there's the difficulty in learning class skills and leveling up.

These are all limitations.

Even a level 35 Expert Level constitution-based class, such as Berserker, will not have a total constitution score exceeding 300 points.

Of course, this is mainly because the other party knows how to combine cultivation skills and won't blindly learn everything.

At the same time.

Qingcheng*Bored and was also talking to Gao Linzhi.

"Boss, be careful of people using alt accounts to climb the rankings."

"I understand." Gao Linzhi naturally knew the tricks of using alt accounts to climb the rankings, because this time it could be done instantly.

Unlike the previous attempts to climb the charts.

The previous attempts to attack him required a lot of time, which gave him time to react.

For example, in the Grand Voyage, Empty 2086 tried to steal from him, but he discovered it early on, and Kongkong2086 gained a lot more points.

The same applies to Sacrifice Event.

Because after the sacrificial materials are put in, it takes time for the ancestral hall to process them before they become effective.

It's impossible to release the offerings at the last minute; the ancestral hall wouldn't accept them then.

But now it's different; you can instantly add points to your physique.

For example, a free attribute constitution point can really be used instantly.

Of course, the constitution points gained from skills cannot be applied instantly; you need to learn the skills first, which gives others time to react.

Learning each Skill Stone one by one takes time.

It takes about half a day to consume a dozen or so Skill Stone.

Of course, this will happen very quickly.

Any faster and you'll choke.

In this case, Gao Linzhi really has to worry that the other party might kill him instantly.

He had to estimate how much physical strength the opponent could exert, to arrive at an upper limit, and his own strength had to exceed that limit.

Even so, is this list being released again?

Does he still have that much inventory?

He could continue to expand his skill bar, but he had already learned almost all the Basic Physical Element skills available on the market.

Of course, there are definitely many niche and obscure physics skills, but they are difficult to enter the market and difficult for his people to collect.

Gao Linzhi but realize that this ranking list was obviously set up by the operators to balance his repeated dominance of the top spot.

Even for top influencers, unless they consistently spend a lot of money on in-game purchases and the game doesn't restrict the use of ranking items, they can only consistently dominate the rankings.

This is obviously very difficult.

In the event shop, the only ranking-boosting item that can be purchased in large quantities is the Beginner Constitution Pill, which has a 5% chance to increase constitution by one point.

There is also a daily limit of 50 purchases.

Why the hell are there restrictions on spending money on in-game purchases?

This clearly doesn't fit the typical pay-to-win game formula.

In pay-to-win games, free items are often limited in quantity. For example, you can only save a certain number or use a certain number of items, and it's impossible for you to exceed the number of items available to paying players.

However, there's no limit to how much in-game currency you can buy; you can buy as much as you have.

It can crush as much gold as it can.

This has led to the emergence of super players who spend tens or even hundreds of millions of yuan on a single transaction.

These players are all incredibly skilled and wealthy; their competition isn't within the game itself, but rather outside of it.

However, the current Skyfall Game, is restricting in-game purchases, which is clearly due to the game's incompleteness.

A proper pay-to-win game wouldn't do that.

Gao Linzhi had no choice but to find another way.

Buying 50 Beginner Constitution Pill every day is a good idea, but you can only get 1500 a month, which is a 5% chance, meaning you can reach the maximum constitution level of 75.

For other players, 5 points of Constitution would be enough to make him ecstatic.

Gao Linzhi was still not satisfied with 75 points; all they did was curse the whales for being pretentious.

Gao Linzhi is now in a dilemma.

This time, someone will definitely steal it, and he can continue to improve his physical abilities.

But after this, how will he suppress his opponent?

If you're unsure what to do, ask customer service.

"Customer service, why are there purchase limits on items in your store?"

"Dear Noble Player 25, this is for game balance and to enhance the game's competitiveness..."

"Screw it, I've got plenty of money, and I'm going to spend it now. Hurry up and open 10,000 of them for me!"

"Dear Noble Player 25, your feedback has been collected and will be forwarded to the planning department immediately."

"Damn it, if you keep playing games with me like this, I'll break my sword and tear down your building!"

The game AI, as usual, pretended to be dead.

Gao Linzhi was helpless; he couldn't very well actually go to the other party's doorstep, could he?

However, his threats proved effective.

A game notification appeared shortly afterward.

Two days later

"Ding! New in-game bonus event launched urgently."

"Recharge now to receive 100 Beginner Constitution Pill."

"Recharge again and receive 100 more Beginner Constitution Pill."

"There is no upper limit to this accumulation."

"This event will continue until the physical fitness ranking competition concludes."

Gao Linzhi immediately overjoyed.

This means he now has an unlimited source of Constitution Points.

However, he soon realized the sinister nature of the game operators.

It was said to be a 5% chance, but after he spent more money and received 100 Constitution Pills, he only gained a little bit of Constitution!

Normally, you should get around 5 points, but even with bad luck, you might only get 2 or 3.

If you're lucky, you might get a 10.

There's only 1 point left!

He didn't realize it at first, then he rushed forward again.

After all, being unlucky is normal.

When they tried the next 100, there weren't any at all.

"I... damn it!"

He realized that these bastards were just using chance to fool him.

The maximum number of Constitution Pills produced in the game remains the same; it's just that the operators have increased the quantity.

In other words, the daily limit of 50 Constitution Pills can be unlimited, allowing you to buy as many as you want, but the daily increase in Constitution will still be 2.5 points.

The good news is that his physique has reached 1137 points.

The points also increased from 341,000 to 342,000.

It's practically useless.

"You can't be this shameless!" Gao Linzhi was truly enraged this time.

This is using probability to manipulate him.

The game operators are truly despicable!

Previously, he only suspected that the game developers and operators were two separate companies, but now he is 100% certain that they are definitely two separate companies.

Would someone capable of developing a truly world-conquering game care about such a paltry sum?

Do they really care about his hundreds of tons of gold?

Just kidding, a whole world being invaded? That's impossible.

The developers provide a large platform that utilizes the intelligence and physical strength of players in one world to invade other worlds.

What the other party values are probably lofty concepts like the World Source and the causal lines of the world.

It could only have been done by the operations team, since the operations team has KPIs, performance targets, and task indicators.

Therefore, they need to launch various small events to trick people into spending money.

The operator is likely just a small-time crook hiding somewhere, which is why they value a few hundred tons of gold so much.

Even this rapidly growing player has become a source of apprehension.

Therefore, this constitution ranking list was created to balance things out.

Gao Linzhi thought for a moment, but couldn't come up with a good solution.

Sure enough, fighting with others is much more troublesome.

Suddenly, he had an idea.

If the opponent uses a smurf account to pressure him, he can also use a smurf account to pressure them back.

Follow other people's paths, leaving them with nowhere to go.

So he switched to the login screen.

I returned to the White Jade Altar I had encountered when I logged in.

In the void, the White Jade Altar still stood, seemingly unchanged.

Three flames, red, green, and blue, still burned on the altar from left to right.

Gao Linzhi stepped forward directly and asked:

"I want to create a second character, multiple Game Character."

"Ding! The player is a regular player and can create multiple characters, but the maximum is three."

Three?

Although Gao Linzhi wasn't overjoyed, he was still satisfied.

After all, it's sufficient to handle the current situation.

This physique ranking won't be reset immediately; it will only be its turn after the previous events have been repeated.

With three accounts taking turns storing resources, it's enough to crush the opponent!

So he started creating new Game Character.

"Full Health Plays Erhu."

"Too Strong Always Nerfed."

He originally wanted to use the phrase "A neighbor is no ordinary creature; it will transform into a dragon when it encounters Wind and Cloud," but he was worried about his account being banned, so he didn't use it.

Those who know, know.

Now there are two more aliases.

As for the meaning of this pseudonym's name, only he, as a time traveler, would understand.

Others wouldn't be able to see the connection.

Even if they notice, it doesn't matter.

In any case, both the main account and the alternate account are just aliases for his main identity.

One of the most important characteristics of the "Gou Dao" (a martial arts sect) is having a disguise.

The "Gou Dao" player without an alias is actually a gambler in name only. He talks about being cautious, but he's always out in his real form, going to auctions or new dungeons, which is practically courting death.

These guys only survived because the author gave them a cheat code, a protagonist's halo.

If you come to the Skyfall Game, your true identity will be exposed within a week.

In Gao Linzhi's view, those protagonists who go out and have fun under the guise of the "path of survival" deserve to die, because this will greatly mislead newcomers entering the extraordinary world.

Many newcomers know nothing about the extraordinary world; their only knowledge comes from novels and movies.

Those fake survival strategies have ruined countless new players.

Just like Gao Linzhi, even though he also lost his disguise, those people still couldn't do anything to him because his real identity had never been reckless.

With this in mind, Gao Linzhi decided to change the location of his true form again.

In fact, he had already dug a dense cave at the bottom of that deserted mountain, and his true body had already gone to a more distant place through the cave.

In short, he will not leave the Underground Cave until he becomes powerful enough to be invincible on Blue Star.

This is based on the experience of our ancestors.

Our ancestors outlived the dinosaurs, those dominant predators, by hiding in burrows and living like mice.

It can be said that humanity itself is the epitome of the Stealthy Cultivation Genre.
