The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle-Chapter 227 - 177: Three-Hour Countdown!_2
"...."
Su Qi paused briefly. Good golly, that was a quick kneel!
And in reality, it seemed like everyone was springing into action. The human-faced monster's body started to show wounds, from which blood and flesh erupted, inch by inch, yet it did nothing about it, nor did it leave this spiritual realm.
Even though Su Qi hadn't said or done a thing.
It was just crazily kowtowing! Expressing its utmost devout worship!
"It... it's just too pure, I'm crying to death."
Who would have thought the Fingertip Universe's breath simulation effect would work so well? Of course, the most important factor was that the Pollution Monster's intelligence was not high.
Su Qi didn't even need to do much, and he mused,
"One can only say that Evil God's talent for raising bootlickers is absolutely top-notch."
Strength, mind, spirit—all wholly and utterly subservient... This was a monster fully corrupted by Pollution.
And not only that, whenever the Evil God was mentioned, others from the Abyss Camp felt a surge of genuine fear, worship, and madness from deep within their hearts.
Of course.
Ordinarily, no one dared to use an illusion of the Evil God or impersonate its presence, given that Totems, Abyss Marks, various Polluted powers would be drawn to it; existences that could not be looked upon directly or whose true names were unspeakable also had rules that transcended the Present World.
All falsehoods would only recoil upon oneself!
In a nutshell, piracy was doomed.
But then again, what did that have to do with him, who had the official authorization from "Evil God"?
"Boom!"
A terrifying noise came straight from reality.
Su Qi released the spiritual world and saw the human-faced monster collapsed on the ground, its body a mess of ruptured flesh, while Penelope Bloom and her bloody companions stood nearby.
They had obviously succeeded in the kill.
And just like the struggle for the Tyrant's body, people rushed forwards, one after another.
Points were important, but the body of the Seventh Rank monster was also highly valuable, sure to fetch a fair number of Spirit Coins.
Su Qi did not join in.
After all, if they wanted to exchange for Spirit Coins... they could only obtain them from the Final Home. The harder they fought, the more the Final Home would benefit.
And at that moment.
System notifications popped up in everyone's field of view.
[Only three hours left until the elimination mechanism activates.]
[All players, please note, this will be the last qualifying stage of the ranking battles.]
Everyone's gaze sharpened, and then they fought even more fiercely.
"People were allying just before, now they've turned their backs on each other without recognition."
Ethan Dawn watched their actions with a chill.
"It's normal."
Su Qi spoke up, "It's clearly the final stage, and besides, it's all for self-interest."
"Self-interest can turn enemies into friends and can make brothers turn against each other."
"Look, even as the General Commander, there's hardly anybody coming over to bow and say thanks to me."
"..."
Maybe your expectations for gratitude are a bit too high.
At this point.
Everyone's gaze paused again, as the points from the post-team battle were also being allocated.
These so-called points... weren't merely numbers.
They were orbs of light endowed with strange powers.
The size and brightness of an orb were indicators of the amount of points.
Everyone had one, but some slackers had pitifully small orbs the size of fists.
Those who had been valiant in the team battle naturally had much larger orbs.
The system was fair, and many regretted not giving their all at that moment.
"This is the points from a Seventh Rank monster, just this orb alone is more than all the points I've gotten from all my previous tasks!"
"If only I could monopolize these points alone."
"Don't even think about it, no one could face such a terrifying being alone!"
And for the many top players, orbs as big as cars streamed towards them.
The orbs heading for Penelope Bloom and her peers were even larger since they delivered the final blow!
"Brother Yang, where's yours?"
Ethan Dawn looked at Su Qi with some confusion, as there was nothing before him, though he had also received a sphere of light himself. It wasn't particularly large among the crowd, but the points were still considerable.
"Could it be that commanding isn't included?"
Su Qi didn't really care, his points were already more than enough, and the points now being added were just drop in the ocean.
However, the next moment...
A dazzling sphere of light slowly rose, several times larger than the combined spheres of Penelope Bloom and the others, drawing the attention of everyone present!
Everyone's eyelids twitched.
To their astonishment, this huge sphere of light was heading straight for Su Qi! A prompt that only he could see appeared before his eyes.
[Congratulations Player Su Buxian for obtaining 792,414 points]
As people witnessed this scene, they fell silent: "..."
Some were amazed, while others didn't understand.
From their perspective, Su Qi did indeed play the role of a commander, but weren't they the ones actually fighting tooth and nail? Why did he get so many points!
The majority, however, had a glint in their eyes.
They had gathered together for the sake of benefit, and now, with just three hours left until the face-off stage, all players would become mortal enemies engrossed in a fight to the death.
"You're thinking too small, everyone," Su Qi said calmly, raising a megaphone.
"Just these points have blinded you; think about that Su Buxian."
"With over a hundred million points, even the loose change is much more than what the Seventh Rank monsters have. Instead of fighting each other at the beginning, we should all unite to hunt him down. Splitting his hundred million points and then competing for them! That's the most foolproof strategy!"
Ethan Dawn's eyes widened: "I think you really have a grudge against that Su Buxian!"
Rallying everyone against that guy.
The key was that several people narrowed their eyes, feeling that there was some sense in his words.
After all.
Su Buxian was like a massive points package. If they didn't compete for it, they'd be left behind once the points were divided up among others.
Of course.
Su Qi simply needed tools: the number, strength, and initiative of the players, which in Final Home exceeded the scale of the Guardians by countless times.
The pace of their mission purge over the past few days was proof enough of this, it was just too scattered.
That dangerous territory required both the safety of Final Home... and their full dedication to explore the deep crimson [Abyss Mark]!
Yet, the crowd did not continue to act.
With three hours left before the elimination mechanism started, whether it was recuperating, handing over the corpses of monsters they had captured, or using Spirit Coins to purchase tools from Final Home.
They all needed time to prepare.
Top clubs allied with one another, yet once again there was a subtle atmosphere emerging amongst them.
The young man from Hidden Blade smiled and pointed to Su Qi: "That kid is right; we do need to focus on hunting down that Su Buxian. Instead of engaging in an elimination fight, we should first find that guy."
"A bright and cheerful big boy..." The woman in a trench coat, with a cigarette in her mouth, smiled gently, "I not only like the sunshine but also big boys. You must be a Solo Player, right? That command was no small feat. I think you could come with me."
"I can give you close protection."
Justice Chief frowned deeply: "You're poaching in front of us, pretending we don't exist?"
Penelope Bloom also smiled lightly: "Brother Yang is also a core member of our alliance, and we will keep him safe."
"Actually,"
Su Qi suddenly paused, then said, "I think her proposal is quite good!"
Penelope Bloom: "???"
"Stay where you are!" Penelope Bloom pressed her forehead, "Don't worry, with the few points you have... not many people will covet them, and even if they do, we're the main force that draws their fire."
"Alright, alright!"
Su Qi spread his hands: "My apologies, big sis."
The woman in the trench coat: "..."
The leaders of the many top clubs watched calmly, choosing not to speak further as they prepared to leave.
And a young man with a [Seventh Rank] symbol on his head calmly cast a glance at Su Qi.
"Meeting you, I'll let you off just this once."
"But only once."

He then left.
Su Qi laughed: "This guy's pretty nice."
Penelope Bloom: "... Just listen and leave it at that. Right now, it's just the prelude to the raging storm. Although everyone can stand together and talk now... it's only because the time hasn't come yet."
"In three hours,"
"Every person, for that so-called qualification, for the final stage of this ranking battle, will become so ruthless... it's beyond what you, an Ordinary Player, can imagine."
