[...]
[Rank 932: Yu Feifei (Blue Star World), Points: 1,272,300]
[Rank 933: Xia Lingyin (Blue Star World), Points: 1,245,200]
[...]
[Rank 952: Xu Jiayi (Blue Star World), Points: 1,053,700]
Staring at the familiar name on the rankings and the nearly 18 million points, even this well-informed Grandmaster was stunned.
After a moment, Grandmaster Hong Qi came to his senses and shook his head in amazement, saying, "That's unbelievable... This kid actually won first place."
"Now, earthquakes are about to strike in both worlds."
"Yes..." Wu Qian nodded in deep agreement, a look of emotion appearing in his eyes.
As time went by, more and more lords noticed the changes on the leaderboard.
Even those who hadn't had a chance to check the list yet received text messages from friends and family urging them to check it quickly, saying that something big had happened.
At first, most lords didn't take it seriously.
It's just a ranking list, what big deal could happen?
When they opened the list and saw the name at the top, everyone was stunned!
Then came an unprecedented uproar!
Countless lords flocked to the forum to discuss the changes to the rankings, and a massive number of posts flooded in like a tidal wave!
Meanwhile, on Blue Star World.
In a quiet office in Heavenly Star Nation City, Tianmen City Kingdom.
A middle-aged man in a formal suit, with a serious expression, was hunched over his desk, rapidly reviewing a large number of documents.
Just then, there was a rapid knocking on the door.
"Thump! Thump thump!"
Immediately afterwards, a slightly anxious female voice came through.
"Minister, there's an emergency!"
The middle-aged man put down the documents in his hand and slowly said, "Come in."
"Creak!"
The office door opened, and a young woman in a uniform, with a capable demeanor, entered.
She seemed to have received the news at the last minute; she hadn't even had time to put on makeup or style her hair.
"What is it?" the middle-aged man asked calmly.
The woman took a deep breath, keeping her voice calm. "Jiangcheng's Shen Xing has racked up over ten million points in one night, taking the top spot on the Two Worlds Leaderboard."
"High-ranking officials from various countries couldn't sit still and called to inquire about the details."
"Most of the cases previously pending at the International Court of Justice have been resolved in a short period of time, and the rest are under expedited review."
"He wants us to ask Shen Xing if he's found any special methods to boost his score."
After hearing the report, the middle-aged man's fingers trembled slightly.
"Ten million points, first place..." A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes. "If I remember correctly, Shen Xing is just a newly promoted Expert Rank lord?"
"Yes!" The young woman nodded emphatically, her voice brimming with barely concealed excitement. "The lords all over the world are talking about this now!"
After a moment's thought, the middle-aged man quickly made a decision. "Notify the Heavenly Star General News Administration to make this a key news story for today's broadcast."
"Furthermore, issue a commendation order to Jiangcheng in my name."
"Also, have the International Court of Justice compile a list of the cases that have been approved and send it to me for review as soon as possible."
He paused, then continued, "As for whether Shen Xing has any special methods for boosting scores, tell them, no comment."
The young woman paused for a moment, then realized what was happening.
"Yes, Minister!"
After saying that, she left the office and went to carry out the task as quickly as possible.
After he left, the middle-aged man murmured, "Shen Xing... ranked number one..."
"Including the previous two rankings, he has been number one three times in a row."
"Furthermore, last time in the Spiral Labyrinth, he annihilated more than a hundred Elite lords from three major nations and even helped Zhang Yu break through to the Grandmaster."
"Could it be... that this person is the Chosen one that the will of Blue Star has put forward in order to save itself?"
He paused, then seemed to remember something. "Perhaps, that thing would suit him perfectly."
"Perfect timing! I was just thinking about what reward to give him, so I might as well take this opportunity to send it over."
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man slowly stood up from the desk and then disappeared silently from the spot.
Chapter 275: Earning Millions of Soul Stone, a National Hero?
On this day, a momentous event occurred on Blue Star that shocked the entire world.
News media from various countries rushed to report on the changes in the Two Worlds Leaderboard.
The whole world has heard that a young lord in the Heavenly Star Nation has taken the top spot on the leaderboard with an astonishing increase in points.
This achievement undoubtedly gave Blue Star, whose morale had been low for three or four days, a much-needed boost.
People in major countries were excited, and even street riots decreased significantly.
The video websites and various forums were filled with discussions about Shen Xing taking the top spot on the leaderboard.
Many well-known bloggers also rushed to create videos to analyze the difficulty and significance of his first-place finish.
Any related video can easily surpass ten million views, and related posts on forums can easily exceed one hundred million views.
It can be said that the name Shen Xing has truly become a household name today.
Meanwhile, in the Jiangcheng, on the top floor of the Pioneer Tower.
Five figures gathered in the quiet tea room.
They all stared at the various news broadcasts on their phones, exchanging bewildered glances.
"Director, did you expect this kind of scene?" Elder Wang said with emotion, "This young man, Shen Xing, really gives us a scare every time."
"Yes... this guy is a monster..." Zhang Yu nodded in agreement. "Although we already thought highly of him, we never expected him to achieve this level."
"To be able to take the top spot on the leaderboard among the best players in two different worlds is beyond miracles."
In the tea room, the other two ministers and a deputy director were equally moved.
At this moment, Zhang Yu looked at the head of the logistics department on the sofa and asked, "Jiang Rong, how's the matching going with those materials that Shen Xing listed for sale earlier?"
"It's already being expedited for matching," Jiang Rong replied. "However, because the materials he needs are quite popular, he's currently in the queue."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and decided, "Upgrade his account to Black Diamond Member, and we'll prioritize supplying him with all the materials he needs from now on."
"Also, try negotiating with the Anomaly Handling Bureau of other cities to see if we can transfer some of their reserve supplies over."
"Okay!" Jiang Rong nodded solemnly, then quickly opened her phone and went to carry out the task.
At this moment, Elder Wang suddenly suggested, "Director, Shen Xing has won first place this time, which is a great honor for Jiangcheng."
"Do you think we should send something as a token of our appreciation?"
Upon hearing this question, Zhang Yu paused for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, saying, "I would like to, but with his current strength, he probably wouldn't even look at ordinary things."
"I don't have anything too valuable here."
"That's true." Elder Wang nodded.
For people from Heavenly Star, gift-giving has always been a very particular matter since ancient times.
Sending it too lightly makes it seem like you don't value it enough.
If the gift is too heavy, the recipient might not accept it.
Just then, Zhang Yu's phone suddenly vibrated.
He picked up the phone, his expression gradually shifting from confusion to surprise.
A moment later, he put down his phone and smiled, "It seems we don't need to prepare any gifts."
"What's wrong?" Elder Wang asked, puzzled.
"People from Tianmen City have arrived," Zhang Yu said. "Moreover, they seem to have brought Shen Xing something extraordinary."
"Let's go meet this person from Tianmen City, and then we'll go to Shen Xing's house together."
Upon hearing this, everyone stood up from the sofa.
Meanwhile, in the Land of Mist.
Thick blood mist surged across the entire world, with countless monsters rising and falling within it, seemingly capable of engulfing everything.
At that moment, a green ball of light streaked across the sky, and countless monsters beneath their feet were forced to retreat rapidly.
As the ball of light drew closer, it revealed a colossal dragon with a wingspan exceeding a hundred meters, its body covered in dark crystal scales.
On the dragon's back stood four figures with distinct personalities.
They stared ahead, their fighting spirit tangible, as if they had just slaughtered countless lives.
It was none other than the Wheelchair Heavenly Emperor, Lord Shen, and his generals.
The four humans and one dragon fought through the blood mist all night, advancing rapidly along the vicinity of their territory and sweeping across an area of dozens of kilometers.
Millions of monsters were burned to ashes by Leina's flames, turning into massive amounts of points and loot.
"My total points have reached 18 million, which means I scored 15 million points last night. That's incredible..."
Looking at the data on the leaderboard, Shen Xing felt it was somewhat outrageous, even to himself.
The Blood Mist Frenzy will continue for another six days, and at this rate of point growth, it could even exceed 100 million!
