Chapter 116: Global Rankings (Extra Chapter, Please Support and Recommend)

[Congratulations! You have entered the global leaderboard! Hidden quest conditions met!]

Huh, another hidden condition achieved!

Chen Mo’s curiosity about this hidden quest deepened. It was incredibly difficult—requiring the killing of Executioners, A-rank zombies, and reaching the global leaderboard.

What Chen Mo didn’t realize was that the zombie mask he had dropped was actually the toughest hidden condition of all—its drop rate was extremely low!

Chen Mo suspected the quest was linked to S-rank zombies. Students from Kyoto No.1 High School seemed to know how to trigger the hidden quest. Opening the map, scattered red dots appeared in the S-rank zone. Chen Mo was certain Kyoto No.1 High was within that area.

Along the way, Chen Mo encountered many A-rank zombies but conserved his strength, refraining from killing them. Instead, he searched for students from Kyoto No.1 High.

He passed by a few weak teams struggling against A-rank zombies. Seeing their frailty yet fierce determination, Chen Mo resisted the urge to rob them. These small players hadn’t activated Killing Mode; killing them would yield only 20 points, while killing an A-rank zombie granted 2,000 points. He decided to let these newbies enjoy the game.

Onward he traveled, continuing his search.

Finally, in the northwesternmost corner of the S-rank zone—the very edge of the map bordered by an impenetrable barrier—Chen Mo found them: students from Kyoto No.1 High. He knew for sure because one young man wasn’t wearing armor but a school uniform! Wearing a school uniform inside the dungeon—it was either foolish or a sign of great confidence, showing he didn’t need armor at all.

This young man was none other than Xiao Sanyue, one of the Ten Legendary Figures of Kyoto No.1 High, and the captain of the group.

“Xiao Sanyue, found you! The S-rank zombies are ahead. The main force from Fudan Middle School is already engaging them!” said a red-haired girl with red eyes. She wore a blood-patterned soft armor beneath a black hooded cloak, her silver hair giving her the appearance of a character from an anime.

Xiao Sanyue smiled slyly. “Good. No rush. Let Fudan Middle School’s main force bleed a bit more. Has the mask dropped yet?”

The silver-haired girl’s voice was as melodious as a nightingale’s. “Not yet. I’ve soloed twenty A-rank zombies and still no mask.”

Xiao Sanyue’s expression grew serious. “Hmm, keep farming. The hidden quest has four conditions: global leaderboard—I reached that yesterday; killing ten Executioners—that’s done; S-rank zombie appeared—that’s done. Now only the mask remains. Bai Di, keep going.”

“Got it!” The silver-haired girl was confident, lightly bounding in double jumps through the air, as if walking on air, swiftly hunting A-rank zombies.

Chen Mo crouched in the grass, in a rather sneaky posture, lifting his head at a strange angle to scan the silver-haired girl’s data.

[Name: Di. High-level Commander]
[Class: Bard]
[HP: 6000]
[MP: 3000]
[Physical Damage: 500]
[Magic Power: 500]
[Equipment: Silver Demon Set—Silver Demon Bow, Silver Demon Cloak, Silver Demon Soft Armor, Silver Demon Greaves; Set Effect: Each enchanted arrow has a chance to split into a new enchanted arrow, which can again split, creating a chain effect]
[Skills: 1. Enchanted Arrow—imbues arrows with various magical elements, each with different effects and power; 2. Volley of Ten—fires ten enchanted arrows simultaneously, each independent but stacking damage; 3. Double Jump, Triple Jump]

Huh? Chen Mo had never seen another Bard besides himself. This girl’s Silver Demon Set was clearly Bard gear, perfect for a ranged archer class, especially for someone with incredible luck. For example, one enchanted arrow triggering the set’s effect could split repeatedly, like an endless supply—making it feel like winning a jackpot at the supermarket!

Opening the current leaderboard, Di’s score was an impressive 33,000 points, ranking seventh. First place was Sword Ink, with 51,000 points.

Chen Mo wasn’t surprised by the top rank—it had to be Zhang Shengmo. Second place was Beyond All, with 43,000 points, which surprised Chen Mo. If he wasn’t mistaken, Beyond All was likely Shangguan Beyond, his good roommate, who had clearly gone all out to rack up so many points.

Though Chen Mo’s main account, Big Boss ID, had 150,000 points, it wasn’t on this particular leaderboard, so he couldn’t claim the ranking rewards. A pity.

As for Little Prince, with only 142 points, he ranked 456th out of 457 survivors—second to last.

Meanwhile, in the B-rank zone.

A player with disheveled hair and a panicked expression was fleeing.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared above the player’s head, and a cold voice said, “Piercing Strike! Die!”

No fancy moves, just a simple sword thrust through the player’s neck. The player didn’t even manage a final word before collapsing dead.

*Ding~*

A C-rank piece of equipment dropped. The shadow calmly picked it up, muttering to herself, “Not bad.”

The killer was none other than Shangguan Beyond, now marked with a bright red name as an Executioner.

Since being defeated by Chen Mo, Shangguan Beyond’s mindset had shattered. She wouldn’t tolerate failure or fear. She treasured this advanced dungeon run and had activated Killing Mode!

Using her formidable stealth assassination skills, she had killed over a hundred players, looted many pieces of gear, and earned the achievement—Permanent Executioner, granting 10,000 bonus points and +20% to all stats in the Battle Royale dungeon.

Power—pure power! Shangguan Beyond reveled in the thrill of killing in this dungeon. Her character was an assassin, and with the Executioner’s attribute bonuses, she was like a fish in water here!

Checking the leaderboard, she saw her rival, Little Prince, had only 142 points.

What’s going on? Was this kid pretending to be weak again? No, his strength had already been revealed; there was no need for concealment!

Ha!

Shangguan Beyond realized Chen Mo must have found an extremely safe spot and was reluctant to leave, hoping to wait out the 24-hour limit and claim the dungeon completion rewards.

She felt disdain for such cowardice—how could someone like that have defeated her?

Unfortunately, the map was too vast, and Shangguan Beyond’s attempts to find Chen Mo proved futile.

“Hmph! Chen Mo, even if you survive, your score is so low your rewards won’t be great! I’m second with 43,000 points. After this dungeon, my strength will surpass yours. Chen Mo, just you wait!”
