Chapter 178 How did I end up in fifth place? (Please subscribe)

Lincheng Martial Arts Branch.

He Yejun had just finished showering and was walking out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, revealing his muscular upper body.

His lips were radiant with a smile, and it was clear that he was in a very good mood.

The same is true.

Just two hours ago, he led four martial artists from the association to hunt down a Gale Wolf King in the wild.

The Gale Wolf is a mid-level ferocious beast, but among them, a king can emerge, namely the Gale Wolf King, a high-level ferocious beast.

Possessing near-sonic speed and indestructible claws, even a martial artist at the Energizing Realm would surely die if struck by one claw.

Fortunately, it ended without serious injury. After a burst of gunfire, the group riddled the Gale Wolf King with bullets.

The acquisition price for Gale Wolf King is 300 million.

There are five of them in total, and each of them can receive 60 contribution points.

That's pretty good.

"If I can maintain this level of performance over the next two days, then making it into the top three might be possible?"

Thinking of this, He Yejun frowned; the hope seemed slim.

He remembered that when he checked last time, the third-ranked person had a contribution of 8 million, while he only had 5 million, still 3 million short.

He can only make it into the top three if his companions are willing to credit all the points earned from the prey to him over the next two days.

But doing this is easier said than done.

If it were him, he wouldn't want to put the hundreds of thousands of contribution points he earned through risking his life under someone else's name, even if it's just temporary and they return it next month.

"But that's a free chance to enter the gravity chamber."

He felt somewhat resentful.

He had been a member of the association for more than two years and had been inside several times. He could say that the benefits he received from each time he practiced in the gravity chamber exceeded his expectations.

This month, he had a rare opportunity to break into the top three, and he really couldn't bear to give it up.

"If the difference isn't too big, I'll talk to them about it. If that doesn't work, I'll just spend a little more money and buy it from them. We've been working together for so long, they should be able to give me this much face."

The association's contribution points can be purchased with money, but there is a limit to how much you can spend. For example, a one-star member can spend a maximum of 100,000 yuan per month, which is equivalent to exchanging 100,000 contribution points.

Two-star members earn more, reaching up to 200,000.

But in reality, a 20 credit limit can't buy much; at most, ten high-grade Qi and Blood Pills would be enough.

So from this perspective, the association does not actually encourage this behavior, but it has left an opening.

Therefore, cash is not popular among martial artists.

Having made up his mind, he turned on his phone, entered the association, found the leaderboard, and clicked on it.

"Wang Hao's cumulative contribution points have reached 1200 million this month? I remember it was only 1000 million yesterday, right?"

He Yejun was incredibly envious.

Excluding today, there are still two days left until the end of the month, and it should be a sure thing that this guy will get first place.

Of course, there's a reason why this guy's contribution level has increased so quickly.

First of all, this guy is very strong. Among the hundreds of martial artists who have reached the Energized Realm in the Jiangnan Division, he is definitely among the top three, or even the number one.

Then, he also formed a three-person martial arts team.

The other two members of the martial arts team are also very strong, and most importantly, they are completely devoted to him. They can give him half of the spoils from each hunt, which is the most terrifying thing.

"Sigh, I can't help but envy that."

He Yejun shook his head.

I heard that those two were personally trained by Wang Hao, and they are both of good character.

In the past, there have been instances where people tried to imitate this approach, but without exception, they all ended up parting on bad terms.

Second place, 900 million.

He Yejun glanced at it; there was no difference from the last time.

Moreover, he doesn't have the ambition to reach second place; he would be content if he could reach third and maintain that position.

"call……"

He took a deep breath, looked down, and was immediately taken aback.

"Chu Qiao's contribution points have actually reached 880 million?"

He opened his eyes wide.

After a long pause, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

I was initially happy that my contribution had increased by 60, bringing me one step closer to third place. But as I progressed, others were also progressing, and at an even faster pace.

"Seriously, is it really possible for me to catch up with this guy?"

He smiled bitterly, a deep doubt creeping into his heart about himself.

"Never mind, let it be."

After a moment, he shook his head.

The premise for a companion to give up their contribution points is that everything goes smoothly for the next two days; otherwise, there will be no prey, so what is there to give up?

"I guess I'm next."

He sighed and looked down.

I was in a good mood at first, but when I saw the contribution of the third-ranked person, my mood changed.

"what?"

However, the next moment, he exclaimed in surprise, staring at the contribution points on the far right of his phone, and froze.

750 million contribution points?

When did my contribution level become so high?

Shouldn't it be 560 million?

Did the branch register me incorrectly?

At that moment, he felt both joy and unease.

If the registration was wrong, that would be great! It would give me nearly two million more contribution points, which is like a windfall! I could buy so many more things with that! And the gap between me and the third place isn't insurmountable; with a little effort, I can reach that level.

However, the people at headquarters aren't just sitting idly by. Even if they can keep it a secret for a while, when the truth comes out and headquarters sends people to find them, returning the extra contribution points will be the least of their worries; they might even be fined.

This has happened before.

"What should I do? Should I report this mistake, or pretend I don't know?"

He was conflicted, and his gaze inadvertently glanced ahead, only to be stunned.

Because that name wasn't his at all; it was Chen Fan.

He immediately snapped out of his daze, looked down, and instantly found his name in fifth place.

"I came in fifth place?"

He gaped, unable to believe it.

He remembered clearly that when he went hunting in the morning, he was in fourth place. Now that his contribution level had increased, how come his ranking had dropped?

Most importantly, where did this Chen Fan come from? I had absolutely no recollection of him before!

He looked up indignantly, even exiting and re-entering, refreshing the page several times, before finally giving up reluctantly.

In other words, none of this was his illusion; fourth place really was taken by this person named Chen Fan.

He Yejun felt utterly hopeless.

How did we get into the top three?

He can't even get into fourth place now.

"Damn it, where did this Chen Fan come from? How does he have so many contribution points?"

He looked over, cursing and swearing.

"Huajin warrior, Anshan City branch? Anshan City branch?"

He was taken aback.

This branch is quite famous within the main branch, as it consistently ranks among the top three, though it's always near the bottom.

"This Chen Fan, is he from the Anshan City branch? Impossible! How could such a person appear in this branch?"

He looked back in bewilderment, and when he saw the number of ferocious beasts he had killed, he was completely stunned.

Number of ferocious beasts killed: 2

"???"

"Is there a system error?"

He Yejun's face showed an expression of extreme shock.

Looking at the contribution points, it was 750 million, just like before.

In other words, this guy named Chen Fan killed two ferocious beasts and his contribution points reached 750 million.

The implications of this are self-evident.

First, both of these ferocious beasts must be high-level ferocious beasts.

Second, he was the one who killed them all; at least, that's the statistical breakdown.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

He Yejun realized what was happening and shook his head repeatedly.

How could a martial artist who has entered the realm of internal strength, or even a martial artist who has reached the realm of external strength, possibly kill a high-level ferocious beast single-handedly? Even if they were lucky, it's impossible for them to be that lucky twice.

There's something inside!

That's right, there must be something going on!

It is very likely that the Anshan City branch attributed all the credit of the team to one person, and that person is Chen Fan!

This is something the association explicitly prohibits.

"What a fine Anshan City branch!"

He Yejun was furious.

If he is truly inferior in skill, he will accept it, just like Wang Hao, who was the first place winner, who willingly admitted defeat.

But this Chen Fan, who hadn't made a sound before, suddenly appeared. And you didn't even bother to make the data look realistic. Just writing down a 2 like that is obviously suspicious.

Thinking of this, he immediately took a screenshot and rushed into the large group chat for martial arts practitioners at the advanced level of the association. Just as he was about to send the picture out, he discovered that the group had already started discussing this matter.

"Hey guys, who's this Chen Fan? How did he get to fourth place? I remember he wasn't even in the top 100 before, was he?"

"That's right. I was ranked outside the top 100 at the time, with a contribution of over 2 million. I remember it very clearly. There was definitely no Chen Fan in the top 100."

"No need for that. You can tell just by looking at where his branch is. In the past two years, which martial artist from the Anshan City branch has made it into the top 100?" Someone sent a sneer emoji.

"Could this be something the Anshan City branch has done?"

"I know who their chairman is."

The person who spoke directly tagged Sun Wei in the large group chat.

Others followed suit, and some even tagged everyone directly.

"Are any members of the Anshan City branch here? One of your members, Chen Fan, has jumped straight to fourth place. Aren't you going to come out and explain yourself?"

Upon seeing this, He Yejun clenched his fist in excitement.

That's right, that's how it should be.

Soon, a long message appeared in the group chat.

"I am Sun Wei, the president of the Anshan City branch. Brother Chen Fan did indeed kill two high-level ferocious beasts, a raging bear and a gray-spotted snake. He hunted them all by himself, earning a total of 750 million contribution points. This matter has been reported to headquarters. If you don't believe me, you can ask Director Du. He can testify for us."

Sun Wei responded angrily from his desk.
