Ranking Changes

The next day.

As soon as Han Xing opened his eyes, he saw a flurry of private messages, all from other survivors.

In the group chat, Cheng Jianyong and Shen Yun were also @ing him.

"Huh? Why are so many people looking for me?"

Curious, Han Xing opened the group chat.

He quickly understood what was going on.

It turned out that while he was sleeping last night, the one called Whisperer had been grinding non-stop, and finally, in the early hours of the morning, his territory points surpassed Han Xing's, taking first place.

He was also promoting his team, 'Whispers of the Gods,' in the chat channel, recruiting other survivors en masse.

The effect was significant. Many survivors had already joined them, and now, Whispers of the Gods was quickly becoming the largest team in District 107.

Han Xing chuckled. "This Whisperer is really dedicated."

"Speaking of which, doesn't he feel tired staying up all night like that? How long can he keep this up?"

He stroked his chin, seemingly pondering something.

At this moment, Cheng Jianyong was frantically @ing Han Xing in the group chat.

"@Xinghe, Xing Bro! Wake up, your first place is gone!"

"Xing Bro, my bro..."

Han Xing opened the group chat, exasperated, and replied, "What's the panic? The leaderboard has only been open for two days. It's still early to reach 1000 points."

Seeing Han Xing's reply, Cheng Jianyong quickly said, "But didn't you say that this Whisperer is likely a Mage, and his exploration speed is much faster than yours? Now that you've fallen behind, it'll be difficult to catch up later."

"Besides, Black Hawk and Papaya Star Spirit are about to surpass you on the leaderboard too!"

Cheng Jianyong seemed even more anxious than Han Xing.

However, Han Xing replied calmly, "Don't worry, there's no use in being anxious. If they want to compete, let them compete."

"We just need to maintain our own pace. Don't risk challenging those dangerous clouds just to compete for the leaderboard."

"They can't keep this up for long. No matter how strong-willed someone is, they can't continue fighting at high intensity without sleep."

Shen Yun chimed in, "Xing Bro is right. They're in a very dangerous state right now."

"I experienced it once the night before last, grinding all night. My combat state dropped significantly the next day, and I almost got bitten to death by monsters several times!"

Speaking of this, Shen Yun said with some lingering fear, "So, don't look at how fiercely they're charging now. In reality, they're walking on a tightrope. If they make even one mistake, they'll pay a heavy price."

Cheng Jianyong also realized his impatience and chuckled awkwardly.

At this moment, Shen Yun seemed to remember something and said, "Cheng Jianyong, you need to take it easy too. Don't lose your life trying to climb the leaderboard. Do you remember what the system prompt said?"

Cheng Jianyong also remembered something, and his expression suddenly changed drastically. "Crap! I almost forgot!"

"The system prompt said that in a month, the vulnerable will be sent to their relatives. That means my wife and children will also come to this world in a month."

"If something happens to me at this time..."

Cheng Jianyong broke out in a cold sweat.

"Sweating already, little bro?" Shen Yun mocked.

Cheng Jianyong didn't speak. In his heart, his family was incredibly important.

But because he had only been in this world for a few days, he hadn't had time to adapt to everything, so he hadn't had time to consider these things.

Now, it suddenly dawned on him that in a month, he would be reunited with his family in this world.

In his heart, Cheng Jianyong made a silent decision.

He must not let his family experience the same dangers as him, and he must not die in this world before they even arrive!

Then, Cheng Jianyong said in the group chat, "You're right, I must not have an accident here. I have to protect Qian Qian."

"Yun Bro, Xing Bro, you guys too, be careful!"

Shen Yun said indifferently, "I'm fine. I only have my old man and my mom at home. They're still in good health, but Xing Bro..."

Han Xing's situation was somewhat special, and they knew that Han Xing had no parents and had lived and grown up alone since he was a child.

Han Xing smiled and said, "Just take care of yourselves. I don't want a pair of strangers I've never met suddenly popping up next month, saying they're my mom and dad, after I've lived so many years."

Shen Yun and Cheng Jianyong stopped talking, seemingly not wanting to continue on this topic.

After a pause, Han Xing continued to instruct, "Now, the monsters we're encountering are getting stronger and stronger. If you encounter creatures you can't beat, remember to run if you can. Don't risk fighting them."

"If you get injured, drink Spirit Spring Water like crazy. Don't worry about consumption. I have plenty here for you."

"Remember, don't die."

Han Xing solemnly instructed, and the two nodded in agreement, equally serious.

At the same time, other survivors were also discussing Han Xing's ranking.

Whispers of the Gods group chat.

A survivor named Moonlit Cat said, "That 'Xinghe' leaderboard hasn't changed. That guy's probably still sleeping in. Our Whisperer boss is much more diligent. At this rate, he'll definitely take first place!"

Other discussion group members chimed in, "That's right, the Whisperer boss is the strongest."

"Heaven rewards hard work, the boss will definitely be number one!"

The Whisperer had just broken 200 points. Seeing the chat in the discussion group, a smile appeared on his pale face.

He coughed lightly and said, "If I really can take first place, it won't be my accomplishment alone. It's all thanks to the help of my brothers."

"If you guys hadn't helped me collect several Mage Skill Books and some Mage equipment, I wouldn't have been able to surpass Xinghe so quickly."

Upon hearing this, the team members complimented him one after another: "Boss, you're too modest. It's still your strength that's the real deal."

"That's right, what Xinghe, what Black Hawk? In the face of the boss's true strength, they have absolutely no chance of competing!"

The smile on the Whisperer's face grew even wider. He seemed to enjoy the flattery of the crowd.

Especially when he looked at the leaderboard and saw the popular 'Xinghe' being trampled under his feet, a sense of satisfaction surged in his heart, and even the fatigue from fighting all night was swept away.

But in order not to show it, he still said in the local area network, "Everyone, don't be too proud. Seize the time to explore the clouds. I hope that a few more of us from Whispers of the Gods can break into the top 100."

"Okay, we'll listen to the boss!"

The Whisperer's words received responses from many people. In District 107, he could be said to command a hundred responses with a single call.

Just then, someone in the discussion group said, "Look, Xinghe's score has changed!"

Just now, they saw Han Xing's territory score jump from 184 to 196 in an instant, an increase of 12 points at once.

The Whisperer's heart sank, realizing that Han Xing was starting to exert himself.

Thinking of this, he closed the discussion group chat, took a deep breath, seemingly dispelling the fatigue in his heart, and looked at the distant clouds again.

Not only Whispers of the Gods, but also survivors in other discussion groups began to sprint.

Everyone couldn't help but speed up their exploration progress.

In just one morning.

The entire leaderboard was constantly changing.

New names were breaking into the leaderboard from time to time, and some people's rankings were rising by more than a dozen places at once. The competition was very fierce.

And Han Xing, after a morning of exploration, not only did not increase his ranking, but also fell to third place all at once.

That Black Hawk had also surpassed him at this time.

When everyone's stats caught up, and the skills and equipment were similar, what remained was a contest of individual combat awareness.

In this regard, Han Xing was obviously not good at it, at least not as good as those top-tier existences.

These people may have had different identities and specialties before descending to 'Sky Island Paradise'.

For example, soldiers, boxers, mercenaries, etc...

These identities allowed them to survive better in this world.

In the local channel, people began to discuss the changes in the leaderboard.

"It's over... Star God has dropped another place. Even Papaya Star Spirit is about to catch up. He won't even be able to keep his top three, right?"

"I think it's possible. Xinghe sold so much Spirit Spring Water at the beginning and exchanged it for a lot of equipment, so he had the previous advantage. Now that everyone's equipment and skills have caught up, his advantage has also been weakened."

"So that's how it is... I thought Star God would definitely take first place this time."

"How is that possible? There are still many experts in our District 107. It's very difficult for Xinghe to take first place!"

Regarding Han Xing, there was a chorus of pessimistic voices in the local area network.
