Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Therefore, Bai Chen could roughly understand that Chen Ye must have relied on that giant [Ten Thousand Eyes Daoist] to possess such a strong ability to kill the clown!
After all, the size of [Ten Thousand Eyes Daofu] was simply too enormous, and as an existence of the Primordial Sea, killing these clowns was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

therefore……

Chen Yecai has such great strength that he can take down all the clowns.

At this moment, on the public chat, when all the players saw Chen Ye's ranking on the leaderboard, how quickly he had climbed the ranks and how much strategy points he had suddenly gained, they were once again shocked and began to comment on him.

[Forty-three million... My God, how did Chen Ye manage to do that? How did he accumulate so many strategy points?]

Help! This number is terrifying... Even a robbery wouldn't bring this much!

[Yes, the number of strategy points earned is absolutely terrifying. It's completely incomprehensible why so many numbers suddenly appeared in Chen Ye's strategy points.]

This is what a master is like!

【plus one! 】

…………

At this moment, Chen Ye controlled the [Ten Thousand Eyes Daoist], turning this small open space into a scene of devastation.

The ground was covered with uneven rubble, and many caves had collapsed from the impact.

The clown's corpse lay everywhere.

Chen Ye paced back and forth a few times, finding no other traces of clowns. He looked at the cave above and felt a little disappointed.

"These clowns ran too fast. We couldn't kill them all at once. Many escaped, which is a real pity."

After searching the ground for a while, Chen Ye discovered that these clowns had one thing in common—they were poor!
So poor they barely have any oil or fat left!
After searching around, the only thing I could find was a spatial ring from the former leader, the clown, which contained some silver and gold coins to make do with.

As for special items...

For some reason, you can't get any special items from these clowns!

Chen Ye's eyes narrowed immediately:
"Generally speaking, anything that exists in the City of Destiny has some unique characteristics... but the characteristics of these clowns seem a bit strange!"

"This doesn't seem like the rules of the City of Destiny!"

"Perhaps these clowns are beings from beyond the borders? From somewhere else, just like the players?"

"Therefore, after killing the clowns, they can no longer reliably drop special items, which reduces the source of combat rewards!"

Generally speaking, since so many clowns have been killed, even if there aren't a lot of special items dropped, there should at least be some loot, right?
But these clowns are of relatively high status, yet they have no accumulation of wealth or resources. It's hard to imagine how they managed to survive.

The only possibility is that the Joker is an army, and a meaningless and worthless army at that.

They were simply manipulated by the Poker Clown, thrown onto the battlefield as tools of combat, with no regard for any potential gains!

Moreover, the Joker's target for destruction is very clear—the Cathedral of the Sun, including the current player base.

These groups typically control large amounts of resources!

If these strategic points are captured, it will provide the Joker with a lot of combat benefits; at least survival supplies and resources will no longer be a problem.

But it's still a bit unbelievable that such a huge clown organization would sleep in underground apartments, reeking of stench.

Chen Ye always thought that an organization like the Jokers, with such a large size and so many poker clowns in charge, must be quite powerful, and that the people guarding this base must be some kind of formidable figures, living a decent life.

But I never expected it to be so squalid, like a refugee slum, with hardly any human rights to speak of.

Many clowns need to perform patrol duties.

however.

This place has caused such a commotion that it's estimated many clowns, including underground organizations and players, have discovered it.

"This is it! There was a huge commotion just now, it seems like there's something here!"

"I saw some clowns around here before, but I didn't expect them to cause such a commotion so quickly!"

"Go in quickly and see what's going on!"

Just as Chen Ye was lost in thought, he heard faint voices coming from the cave behind him.

Upon hearing the conversation, Chen Ye instantly entered the [Lightless Stalker] and hid, observing from the shadows.

Shortly after.

Several players dressed in matching guild attire arrived at this place.

One of the players had three eyes; the eye between his eyebrows emitted a holy golden light that illuminated the area and dispelled the darkness.

The other players were holding detector-like devices and sweeping them around, as if they were checking something.

They knocked and banged around, and after a while, it seemed they realized it was a wasteland, and they couldn't help but sigh:

"What kind of ability could possibly transform a place like this?"

"Yes... this ability is absolutely terrifying! I don't think I've ever seen this kind of ability anywhere before!"

"What an extremely terrifying ability!"

At this point, the players started moving around, but they couldn't find anything by searching the area.

"Come quick, look! There's a clown's corpse here!"

Just then, a player arrived and was shocked to find many clown corpses lying there.

"What a clown!"

Another player walked over, used the detector to examine the clown, and shook his head: "It was instantly devoid of any aura, which means that the force that attacked this place must have been extremely powerful, so that it could destroy the clown to this extent in an instant."

"Who on earth could have caused such a large-scale clown massacre?"

One player couldn't understand why there were so many clown corpses in this place... You know, killing a clown is a reward of considerable strategy points.

And this place completely collapsed.

A huge number of clowns gathered in this one place, and they were all dead!
This matter is full of strangeness from any angle.

Think of this.

The other players couldn't help but get goosebumps, and they all used their light sources to scan the surroundings, trying to see what was nearby and why the place had been turned into such a mess.

One player speculated, "Only someone as powerful as Emiya Shirou could pull off such a feat, right?"

"That's not necessarily true... Moreover, we noticed that Emiya's recent success rate didn't increase by that much all at once."

"Judging from the extent of the damage here, it must have happened in an instant, causing immense destruction, which is why this place was transformed into this state in a flash."

"But what kind of law could have transformed this place into this state in such a short time is something we don't know yet!"

The players around them were completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened or why so many clowns had died.

Just then, one player noticed the leaderboard, opened his mouth, and uttered a terrifying prediction:

"Gentlemen... I think I have an idea as to why this is happening here!"

Upon hearing this, the other players immediately turned around, looking at the player with puzzled expressions, and asked:

"What on earth happened? Why are so many clowns dying in this place?"

The player took out the blood-red phone, opened the leaderboard, scrolled to the top spot, pointed to Chen Ye's name, and said:
"Look, the top player on the leaderboard has gained tens of millions of strategy points in such a short time!"

"Just by counting, the number of clowns who have died in this place has already reached several hundred!"

"Only Chen Ye's ranking on the leaderboard has reached such a high position, which can match the number of these clowns who have died."

When everyone saw the rankings on the Bloodstained Phone, and saw that Chen Ye was ranked so high, they all instantly understood the truth.

"No wonder... I was wondering why Chen Ye's ranking jumped so much all of a sudden. So that's why he killed the clown here?"

"My God, the truth is so terrifying... Chen Ye killed all the clowns here!"

"We've finally found some of Master Chen Ye's authentic works!"

“It’s definitely Chen Ye. I calculated the number of clowns who died and found that it matched exactly the number here. So, there’s a very high probability that it was Chen Ye who destroyed this place.”

"And they killed so many clowns, and did it all in a very short time!"

"My God, if this was really done by Boss Chen Ye alone, then what level of power has he reached? Has he already become a figurehead?"

"This question...I'm afraid none of us have the answer!"

The players present were all deeply shocked, never expecting to find Chen Ye's whereabouts in this place.

These dead clowns scattered all over the ground are undoubtedly the best proof that the top-ranked figure is here!

They searched around but found no trace of other players, which made them somewhat disappointed.

"I thought our investigative methods would be able to find clues about Boss Chen Ye, and maybe we could even get his autograph!"

"Don't be silly. As such a mysterious number one on the list, Chen Ye has always kept his true identity very well hidden... and if you ask him for an autograph, he most likely won't give it to you."

"Besides, if you really find out his identity, he'll definitely become suspicious of you, wondering if you'll record his identity and pass it on to other players. He might just kill you!"

"Yeah... the top-ranked figure is so terrifying, it's best not to mess with him!"

Thinking about this, the players felt a chill run down their spines, as if a knife might be slashing at them at any moment!
They continued searching the area for a while, but found nothing. They put away their search equipment, left through the partially collapsed opening, and quickly disappeared from sight.

At this moment, Chen Ye emerged from the shadows, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Looks like these players aren't fools after all. They were able to figure out from the details that I was the one who sabotaged this place. Players really do have to be players!"

In the case of ordinary indigenous people, they would not care about such trivial matters at all. Only players have a high pursuit of all details. Therefore, they can judge many scattered branches through very small things and thus obtain a lot of information.

Intelligence warfare—that's the area players are most familiar with!
"However, these guys are still quite rational; they didn't send my information out through the public chat. If they had, I wouldn't have been able to resist taking action!"

Chen Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression turned cold.

If these players really did release their information like that...

Then.

These players are very likely to die at Chen Ye's hands!
After all, once this information is released, countless players will find this area, and it won't be so easy for me to get out.

However, these players were relatively rational and did not spread rumors. Moreover, based solely on these signs, it cannot be confirmed with 100% certainty that Chen Ye was the one who did it. It is entirely possible that other native players, who could not stand by and watch the clown's actions and possessed extremely high status, intervened to kill the clown. This possibility cannot be generalized.

With that in mind, Chen Ye left the cave and began searching for other clown lairs nearby.

and……

The clown left the corresponding area through these interconnected passages, and he will definitely go to different places, and they will be in this vicinity!
Walk around this area a bit more, and if you encounter a clown, just kill him! Wouldn't that be wonderful?
At that moment, Chen Ye wandered around the area for a while and suddenly noticed an old elevator in front of him.

Next to the elevator stood two clowns dressed in green robes, guarding the place.

Chen Ye's mind stirred.

He immediately drew his demonic blade, teleported to the vicinity of the two clowns, and slashed each of them.

Before either of the clowns could even react to what had happened, they were instantly killed.

"Another 100,000 strategy points."

Chen Ye put away the demonic sword with satisfaction, dusted himself off, and then put the corpses of the two clowns into the spatial ring of [Infinite City]. He then turned his head to look at the elevator.

This old elevator has a card slot next to it, but there is only a button to go up, not a button to go down.

Chen Ye stepped forward, intending to press the button. (End of Chapter)
