Ranking List Announcement

The ranking board couldn't hide name IDs, only profession info—wasn't that a bit like taking off your pants to fart? Ling Chu chose not to hide.

Ling Chu noticed that a ranking function had indeed appeared in her system panel, and she opened it to take a look.

[Zone 666 Bounty Ranking]

1, Ling Chu, Sin Value 60 points, Profession Ghost Pirate/Bounty Hunter, Bounty 200 Sea Shells

2, Invincible and Handsome, Sin Value 30 points, Profession Pirate, Bounty 100 Sea Shells

3, Black Spade K, Sin Value 30 points, Profession Hidden, Bounty 100 Sea Shells

4, Little Girl Stepping on Mushrooms, Sin Value 30 points, Profession Doll Master/Pirate, Bounty 100 Sea Shells

5, Zhen Qingshan, Sin Value 20 points, Profession Alchemist/Pirate, Bounty 66 Sea Shells

9, Stay Away From Gambling, Drugs, and Vice, Sin Value 20 points, Profession Gambler/Pirate, Bounty 66 Sea Shells

10, Fugitive Bald Qiang, Sin Value 20 points, Profession Pirate, Bounty 66 Sea Shells

On the bounty ranking, aside from Black Spade K who had hidden their profession info, every single one was a pirate without exception.

If killing one person added 10 Sin Value, then everyone on the list had killed at least two players. During normal sailing, it was hard to run into other players. Ling Chu guessed they either encountered islands or, like her, killed people in a Public Challenge.

There was also an acquaintance of hers on the list, Stay Away From Gambling, Drugs, and Vice. So he was a Special Profession too—no wonder he had something like Gambler's Coin.

Ling Chu then clicked open the other two rankings.

[Zone 666 Justice Ranking]

1, Ling Chu, Justice Points 30, Profession Ghost Pirate/Bounty Hunter

2, Star River Enters Dream, Justice Points 20, Profession Wandering Swordsman/Pirate Hunter

3, The World Is Not Worth It, Justice Points 20, Profession Pirate Hunter

4, Lingering Wind and Fading Moon, Justice Points 10, Profession Alchemist/Pirate Hunter

10, Brave the World, Justice Points 10, Profession Beast Tamer/Pirate Hunter

[Zone 666 Wealth Ranking]

1, Ling Chu, Wealth Value 103

2, Invincible and Handsome, Wealth Value 56

3, Black Spade K, Wealth Value 55

4, A Silly Bird, Wealth Value 51

5, Stay Away From Gambling, Drugs, and Vice, Wealth Value 49

10, Wang Duoyu, Wealth Value 42

As soon as the rankings were released, the Public Channel exploded.

[Public Channel]

"Am I seeing things? How is the number one on all three boards the same person!"

"You're not seeing things. What kind of god is this? Having both Justice Points and Sin Value at the same time?"

"It's only been three days, and 60 Sin Value means killing six people. What kind of murder maniac is this?"

"She probably got all that Wealth Value from killing and robbing too."

As the number one dominating all three rankings, Ling Chu unsurprisingly became the hot topic of everyone's discussion.

Ling Chu hadn't expected to top all three rankings either, but when she saw someone calling her a murder maniac, she couldn't help twitching the corner of her mouth.

Out of that 60 Sin Value, 30 came from Missing Teeth. Killing someone with Justice Points added extra Sin Value accordingly.

Besides, she was acting in self-defense.

Even though she had no morals and not much decency, she wasn't the type to indiscriminately slaughter. The label of murder maniac was a bit hard to argue against.

Justice Points could only be gained by killing players with Sin Value, making them harder to obtain in principle, so everyone's numbers on the Justice Ranking were low.

Her 30 Justice Points were entirely thanks to Sanfuye's contribution. If he hadn't been unlucky enough to run into her, that guy would have made it onto the Sin Value Ranking.

As for the Wealth Ranking, her being on it wasn't surprising—after all, she was the first player to own an island. The resource value of five hundred iron ore instantly widened the gap between her and ordinary players.

What surprised her a bit was that there were quite a few players with Special Professions on the rankings—Alchemist, Doll Master, Wandering Swordsman, Beast Tamer, and so on. She'd never even heard of them. It seemed others had their own lucky encounters too.

If you can't find the book title, try searching by the author—maybe it just changed names!

On the Justice Ranking, aside from her, every other player's second profession was uniformly Pirate Hunter. That profession sounded inherently opposed to pirates. Ling Chu guessed it might be a profession that could only advance by specifically killing pirates.

[Congratulations on becoming number one on the Sin Value Ranking. You have received the title: "Desperado"]

[Title Effect: When HP falls below 20%, all attributes double.]

[Not a permanent title. The title disappears when you fall off the ranking.]

[Congratulations on becoming number one on the Justice Ranking. You have received the title: "Hate Evil Like an Enemy"]

[Title Effect: When fighting players with Sin Value, your Strength, Constitution, and Agility each increase by 2 points.]

[Not a permanent title. The title disappears when you fall off the ranking.]

[Congratulations, you have become the number one on the Wealth Ranking, earning the title: "Rich and Powerful"]

[Title Effect: When equipped, purchases from the shop receive a 30% discount.]

[Non-permanent title. This title disappears when you fall from the ranking.]

[Congratulations, you have also become the number one on the Sin Value, Justice Points, and Wealth Rankings simultaneously, earning the hidden title: Come Here]

[Title Effect: When fighting players with Sin Value or Justice Points, your Strength, Constitution, and Agility each increase by 5 points; when HP falls below 20%, all stats double; Charm +10.]

[When this title is equipped, all players within a five-hundred-kilometer sea area who possess radar devices or maps will see your coordinates, and you cannot use stealth-type skills.]

[Permanent title, disappears only upon player death.]

Ling Chu's heart gave a violent lurch when she saw the effect of the last title.

This title's effect was way too broken—wasn't this practically the strongest title in the game?

All stats +5, doubling when HP dropped below 20%—those numbers were downright outrageous.

But there was a side effect: when equipped, nearby players could see her coordinates.

No wonder the title was called "Come Here"—it was basically a blatant invitation telling other players, "I'm right here, come and get me if you can."

An arrogant title. Ling Chu liked it.

This title was a killing move at critical moments, but there was no need to wear it normally.

Ling Chu swapped out the "Ocean Scavenger" title for "Rich and Powerful," then opened the newly released shop function.

The shop only had three items.

The Public Channel Megaphone, the Bounty Order, and the Island Locator Card.

The megaphone increased the number of chats allowed in the public channel, priced at 1 Sea Shell per set, with 10 megaphones per set.

Ling Chu carefully read the item descriptions for the Bounty Order and the Island Locator Card.

[Bounty Order]

[Instructions: Enter a Player ID to place an additional bounty on that player. (Can only be used on players with Sin Value.)]

[A tyrant does what a tyrant wants!]

[Price: 1 Sea Shell per sheet]

[Island Locator Card]

[Quality: Common]

[Can locate a random island's position. Extremely high probability of locating a Level 1 island, extremely low probability of locating a Level 2 island.]

[Price: 100 Sea Shells per card]

At the very bottom, there was a line of small text.

[Shop items will refresh after the next disaster passes. Buy while supplies last.]

Ling Chu had a total of 300 Sea Shells on her—200 from the system reward for killing Sanfuye earlier, and 100 from a chest she'd opened.

She skipped the megaphones entirely; she didn't like chatting on the public channel, and her ten free daily uses were already enough. She even had ten megaphones stored in her inventory, unused.

The Bounty Orders were cheap, so she bought ten sheets. She bought two Island Locator Cards, totaling 210 Sea Shells, which came to 147 Sea Shells after the 30% discount from the title.

Just as Ling Chu was immersed in her shopping spree, she suddenly received three system notifications in a row.

[Wang Duoyu has used a Bounty Order on you, adding a bounty of 50 Sea Shells.]

[Invincible and Handsome has used a Bounty Order on you, adding a bounty of Flawless White Pearl*1, Dim Pearl*20.]

[Wasabi has used a Bounty Order on you, adding a bounty of Eggplant*10, Long Beans*10, Potatoes*10, Mango*10.]
