Oh?
Hearing this, Lu Yuan suddenly realized that there might be quite a few captains among the Night Watchers competing this time.
This was going to be interesting.
"The report was rather vague about what happened in Bronze City," Norbert continued. "But that's an internal matter for your side, so I won't pry. The journey went smoothly enough, didn't it?"
"Smoothly," Lu Yuan said. "Just a little cold."
"Haha, cold is exactly how it should be. This is the Northern Territory."
Norbert laughed twice, pulled open a drawer and rummaged through it. Finding nothing, he pushed it shut again.
"What has Captain Lu come here for this time?"
"Two things," Lu Yuan said. "To check my points, and to pick up some supplies."
"Points are easy. Vera has already gone to verify them. There'll be a result shortly."
As they spoke, there came two knocks on the door. Vera walked in, holding the roll of paper that had just been spat out.
"Captain Lu, your points have been verified." Looking at the paper in her hand, she read aloud, "A total of 573 points."
"How many?" Norbert's brows could not help but rise. "573 points?"
Lu Yuan was stunned as well.
He had originally estimated that three or four hundred would have been the absolute limit. He had not expected it to be over five hundred.
After all, the final battle in Bronze City—the battle at the Sea of Knowledge—should theoretically not have added a single point. Point verification required Headquarters' approval, and a battle report like that could never have been submitted.
Without the bulk of that battle, he still had 573 points.
Lu Yuan did some calculations in his heart, but clearly failed to make heads or tails of it.
Forget it. More points were a good thing.
