Chapter 919: 975, Sunday Mystery (13) Ranking List
Frost Red Tea saw a scroll spread out on the altar wall.
The scroll was approximately 50 centimeters wide and 1 meter long. It was covered in small characters that glowed with a rice-yellow light.
He peered intently at the scroll and found that the first line of small characters was written in Chinese, the content read: First place, Su Yu, 2245 Shell currency.
The other dozen or so players also gathered around.
Upon seeing this line of small characters, they immediately realized that it was a kind of record, akin to a leaderboard found in games.
Apart from Su Yu, the names below were all written in Skuru script.
Second place, Charles Sol, 1203 Shell currency.
Third place, the bear beast Riebear, 784 Shell currency…
The list included the names of all the adventurers who had taken part.
However, apart from the first few who had a considerable amount of Shell currency, the last thirty-some entries were just a string of “0s.”

This leaderboard could be said to be extremely useful.
Through the leaderboard, Su Yu and the others could clearly understand what sort of creatures the other participants in the secret realm were, especially the Skrull people whom they were most concerned about.
“1, 2, 3…16,” Shepherd in the Clouds quietly counted the names on the leaderboard, slowly knitting his brows.
After counting to the end, he said in a grave voice, “This time, there are a total of 16 Skrull people who have come in—more than last time.”
“Hmm,” Mr. Li nodded, pointing at a name on the leaderboard: “This Charles Sol must be the leader of the Skrull people.
And the other Skrull people clearly trust him a lot to entrust him with their earnings. Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly have obtained so many Red Shell Coins in just half a day.”
Mr. Meng expressed his agreement: “He must be the leader of the Skrull people, after all, with ‘Sol’ in his name, it’s clear he is of the Royal Family.”
Su Yu stroked his chin and said, “But I think that this ‘Sol’ is clearly not the leader of all Skrull people, perhaps only those from the Sol lineage trust him.”
Su Yu stretched out his hand, pointing towards the lower part of the leaderboard.
The leaderboard had several other Skrull people, with Shell currency earnings ranging from one hundred to one hundred and fifty.
“These should be Skrull people from other nations, they do not trust Charles Sol and are keeping their Shell currency for themselves.”
“Makes sense,” Shepherd in the Clouds nodded.
A lot could be deduced from this leaderboard. For instance, now they knew that the Skrull people were not united, which was certainly good news for the Blue Star people.
At the very end of the leaderboard, one name drew everyone’s attention.
This name was a different color from the others.
While the other names emitted a rice-yellow light, this fellow’s name was a blood-red color.
Additionally, there was a blood-red skull icon marked behind his name.
“Looks like this fellow must’ve died,” Su Yu said solemnly.
“Probably so,” Mr. Meng sighed slightly: “The secret realm is full of dangers; for instance, Jenny’s map has marked many areas as being active with Second Order and even Third Order Warcafts.
If a First Order adventurer were to wander off and be chased by a Second Order Warcraft, the likelihood of death would be quite high.”
“It seems we also need to be cautious,” Su Yu looked at all the players: “The Fisherman has repeatedly warned us not to go fishing in the lake at night, claiming it could be extremely dangerous. For the sake of our lives, let’s not go fishing at night, and we’ll observe the situation tomorrow instead.”
“Alright,” everyone nodded in agreement.
It was at this moment that Avril, who had been silent until now, spoke up, “I… I don’t understand something.”
“What is it?” Su Yu and the others looked towards her.
“That’s right,” Avril pointed to the name “Charles Sol,” puzzled, “I want to know how they caught the fish?
After we entered the secret realm, if Boss Ke hadn’t hunted a First Order brown snow beast, we wouldn’t have had enough money to rent a boat to fish, and now everyone should be working.
How did these Skrull people manage to get boats to go fishing in the lake?”
Hearing Avril’s question, many people were taken aback.
Indeed! How did the Skrull people manage to get boats?
Logically, working couldn’t possibly earn them money that quickly. Could it be that they also went hunting and caught high-value beasts?
“Cough cough,” just then, Shepherd in the Clouds coughed twice and said, “When I was at the dock earlier, I chatted with other adventurers, and I know a little about this… Actually, they didn’t go hunting; it’s the secret realm’s compensation mechanism at work?”
“The secret realm’s compensation mechanism?”
“Yes,” Shepherd in the Clouds explained, “Some adventurers enter the secret realm quite late and, like us, if they come in with nothing, they’re basically unable to compete with us.
So, when they first enter the secret realm, the realm directly gives them 100—200 Red Shell Coins as startup funds, as compensation for entering late.”
“Oh, so that’s how it is.” Everyone nodded in understanding.
Upon hearing Shepherd in the Clouds say this, Su Yu couldn’t help but think about the last secret realm.
The last secret realm also had a compensation mechanism. Red-Eyed Black Dragon and Fujiwara Chika entered the secret realm quite late, so the realm gave them extra points as compensation, and in the end, they managed to secure the 3rd and 4th place.
Everyone stood on the same starting line, so it seemed they would have to work twice as hard.
…
While they were studying the rankings, three other adventurers also came to the altar to sacrifice, pushing a cart of fish.
Seeing Su Yu and her group of many people, they showed a look of wariness in their eyes.
Su Yu and the others didn’t intend to bother with them.
After trying and finding that the ranking scroll could not be removed from the wall, they pulled the cart back to their residence, to discuss the remaining matters after returning.
…
The main force returned to the base at 7 p.m., and Zhong Feng also came back from the dockside.
Since everyone had arrived, the meeting officially began at 7 p.m.
Of course, they weren’t just having a meeting; the round table in the room was filled with food, and everyone talked while they ate.
Mr. Meng and his team dug up medicinal herbs and made quite a bit of money this afternoon, so the food on the table wasn’t just dark bread but included white bread along with some ham and dried meat.
Feeding everyone well would help them work even more vigorously the next day.
Zhong Feng had already heard all about the incidents at the altar from Mr. Li.
The meeting was chaired by Su Yu.
Nibbling on the bread in small bites, Su Yu spoke to everyone, “Alright, let’s start the meeting.”
“Okay,” everyone focused their attention on Su Yu simultaneously.
“We’ll start with the hunting team,” Su Yu looked toward Mr. Meng, “Mr. Meng, how much did you guys gain from hunting this time?”
“Boss Ke, we’ve got 3150 Shell Coins’ worth of game and medicinal herbs,” Mr. Meng replied. “According to my estimations, if we hunt again tomorrow morning, our earnings should be enough to cover the entire secret realm’s expenses.”
The money from hunting wasn’t just for paying the fishermen’s salaries; they also had to rent five more boats.
Now, due to high demand and low supply, the rental prices of fishing boats had soared, with the small ones even costing double than the medium-sized boats Su Yu and the others had rented!
Therefore, Mr. Meng and his team had to hunt once more to earn enough Shell Coins to rent the fishing boats.
