Could it be that he really understands sky island survival?

Jet rubbed his eyes and confirmed again.

"That's right, it's a hundred zombies, how is that possible?"

They had worked so hard for so long, killing less than forty zombies, and only by scoring extra points from special monsters did they surpass the Samurai Nation to regain first place.

What did Kyushu have?

If he remembered correctly, when it was Kyushu's turn to choose, all the resource-rich starting locations were taken.

They chose a Floating Island start!

With just one tree, how could they possibly compare to them?

"Besides a hundred zombies, a dozen skeletons, and five special monsters."

"It's hard to believe!"

Taking a sharp breath, Mark was very skeptical.

With ample resources, it took both of them to deal with special monsters carefully.

How could one person kill five on the first day?

He couldn't figure it out!

Meanwhile, Gangcun Kuzi ate his last bit of food and retreated to his room.

He had done all he could; now he just needed to wait for dawn.

Quietly watching the rankings, without his intervention, the Free Nation would soon surpass them.

Gangcun Kuzi was not surprised by this outcome, as he had expected it.

"If I had chosen Pumpkin Island, first place would definitely have been ours this time!"

With food and the Iai Sword, he was confident he could kill a hundred zombies in one night!

Now, he could only aim for second place.

"India Nation, in third place, is also short on food; there shouldn't be many changes in the remaining time."

"Solidly in second place!"

Before he could finish speaking, Gangcun Kuzi saw himself fall from second place.

The name Kyushu stood out prominently, rising at an extremely fast pace.

[Kyushu Nation killed Zombie *1!]

[Kyushu Nation killed Zombie *1!]

[Kyushu Nation killed Skeleton *1!]

[Kyushu Nation killed Special Monster...]

[First Place: Kyushu Nation, Killed Zombies *113, Killed Skeletons *16, Killed Special Monsters *6]

Bang!

Watching Gu Yu go from unranked to suddenly gaining hundreds of kills.

Gangcun Kuzi was even more shocked than Mark.

He had been staring at the rankings the whole time, and in the blink of an eye, several zombies had died.

Even with the Iai Sword activated, he didn't kill that fast!

How could Gu Yu, a newcomer, possess a weapon stronger than the Iai Sword!

"It's so outrageous, it's like the zombies are just standing there waiting to die!"

Unable to see the situation on the Floating Island, Gangcun Kuzi couldn't understand.

But through the screen, the global audience clearly knew.

The monsters were indeed standing still, waiting for Gu Yu to kill them!

The audience exploded with comments!

"What did Gu Yu do?"

"Why do our contestants have to kill monsters painstakingly while he just waits for them to die?"

"There's a conspiracy, there must be a conspiracy, I'm reporting it!"

"The two of us from the Free Nation combined can't compare to him alone?"

"Baka! He can't be stronger than Gangcun-kun!"

"Yamamoto-kun and Gangcun-kun are from two different blocks, so theoretically, it should be faster than Mark!"

"This is malicious exploitation of a loophole, and he must be punished!"

Monsters have a respawn rate, and two blocks are larger than one, leading to higher spawn efficiency.

If not for the food issue, Gangcun Kuzi might have truly been able to surpass Mark and the other person.

The key was...

Even considering Gangcun Kuzi's speed in killing monsters with the Infinity Iai Sword, he still can't compare to Gu Yu now.

No matter how fast the sword is, you still have to rush in front of the monsters. It's nothing like Gu Yu.

Standing in front of the stone house, he only needs to do one thing.

I slash!

I slash slash slash slash slash slash slash slash slash slash slash slash slash slash slash slash slash slash...

The Kyushu audience felt their hearts healed by the rhythmic sound, and they smiled.

"Awesome, Great God Gu Yu!"

"The monsters killed by four people combined can't compare to one of us!"

"You called us trash one by one, now who's the trash?"

"What's this Iai Sword Warrior bloodline, it's totally lame!"

"What bullshit loophole, this is clearly a game mechanic!"

"Report it if you have the guts! Hahaha!"

Ever since the arena descended, it only randomly selected Players. Reporting something like this had never happened before.

Even if the Samurai Nation and Free Nation protested collectively, they wouldn't get any reply.

They could only watch Gu Yu effortlessly kill monsters on the screen, raging in frustration.

"Dean Qi, do you think there's a possibility..."

"My item didn't fail at that time?"

Fries exclaimed continuously.

If the Stone Generator was a product of clever intellect, then the appearance of the Monster Spawning Platform...

...meant they were truly exploiting the world's mechanics.

Fries, for one, couldn't understand why this situation was happening.

"That's... hard to say."

Dean Qi frowned, lost in thought. He had been pondering the monster spawning issue.

Then, he noticed Gu Yu's feet and his eyes lit up.

"Look, he replaced all the floor blocks with half-blocks, only the monster spawning area is a full stone block."

"Does this mean that monsters won't respawn on half-block blocks?"

This explained why there were no Zombies on the Floating Island, only inside the stone house.

Only the stone house had an unoccupied full block on top!

The more he thought about it, the more his deduction seemed sound. Dean Qi urgently said, "Quick, classify this deduction as top-secret intelligence. It absolutely cannot get out!"

Monsters were the most direct and fatal threat to Players. If this proved true...

...their contestants would gain a direct advantage in future civilizations!

After saying this, Dean Qi continued, "Whether the item failed or not, it's still too early to conclude."

The perspective shifted to Park Sam-chang's screen.

Seeing Gu Yu effortlessly kill monsters with his own eyes, Park Sam-chang felt immense distress.

The resources were worse, yet a newcomer could create a Stone Generator, surpass the Free Nation, slaughter Zombies, and become number one.

Meanwhile, he could only hide in a cramped room, keeping two Mushroom Cows company!

"Moo~ Moo~"

Sensing the space shrinking as Park Sam-chang stood up, the Mushroom Cows pushed against him with greater force.

The immense pressure pressed his entire face into the dirt, and he choked on several mouthfuls before recovering.

Feeling even more stifled, Park Sam-chang dared not make a move, forcibly swallowing his resentment.

"Everyone, don't think Gu Yu is actually that strong!"

"Because the blocks are adjacent, I saw firsthand how he developed, so I can state with certainty."

"He achieved this solely through Luck, with no component of actual skill!"

Knowing his words would be broadcast through the screen, Park Sam-chang adjusted his position.

He shifted into a posture more suitable for speaking and continued his analysis.

"I know some of you may not believe me, but if you look closely, you'll see."

"First, he created the Stone Generator and discovered the method for making stairs. He knew stairs could save blocks."

"Then, he replaced the blocks on the island with stairs. Because the blocks changed, the trial lost its monster spawning judgment area!"

"Then he built a stone house, right in the new monster spawn detection zone!"

An old Player would never make these mistakes, but Gu Yu is a novice.

So he didn't return home to hide in time when night fell, and thus missed the monster spawn zone!

This is what led to the current situation!

The reasoning was sound and well-supported, with great logic, convincing many viewers.

As if he could see the Bullet Comments, Park Sam-chang smiled.

"But don't be fooled by his current might, I actually predict."

"The Floating Island has a huge problem, he, Gu Yu, definitely won't survive tonight!"
