Chapter 530: Living Up to Its Name

"Exactly, Black Feather is that rich, Wu Ya's wealth score must be off the charts!"

"Just wait and see, you'll know the answer right away."

The debate on the World Channel kept going, but Cheng Shuili's office was unusually quiet.

Xinxue nervously clenched the ginger candy in her hand, and Ailin and the others held their breath.

Only Cheng Shuili herself still leaned against the chair back, her expression as calm as a deep pool.

She was waiting.

Waiting for her name to appear.

Waiting for the result she had never doubted.

"Next, let's congratulate the number one on the Server-wide Personal Power Ranking—"

Everyone held their breath.

The World Channel was quieter than ever.

Then, the text slowly appeared:

【First place: Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji (Dong Da Qu - Black Feather), mileage score 4653, wealth score 9011, Instance performance score 4788, total.】

Silence.

The entire World Channel was dead silent.

For a full five seconds, no message refreshed, then a flood of question marks erupted.

"??????????"

"How many????"

"9011??? Wealth score 9011????"

"Is there something wrong with my eyes????"

"My mother asked why I'm kneeling to watch the World Channel…"

"Score! It's a full 7318 points higher than the second place!!!"

"What does 7318 points even mean?? The eighth place on this list is only about seven thousand!"

"Th‑this… is this a score a human can achieve???"

"Mileage 4653, Instance 4788, Wealth 9011… each alone is first!!!"

"First in every category!!!"

"What is 'governance power'? This is true governance power!!!"

"Woooooo Dong Da Qu is crying! Black Feather is crying! Long live Wuya Lao Da!!!"

"Who just said Wu Ya's wealth score might not be higher than White Eagle's? Come out and get hit!"

"9011 versus 4877, that's not 'maybe'???"

"I was wrong, ridiculously wrong, I shouldn't judge Wuya Dalao with a normal person's mindset…"

"So is the income in the Safe Zone really this terrifying…"

"Nonsense! The only Safe Zone in the entire human camp! Do you know how much the ticket fee collected!"

"It's not just the ticket fee! Black Feather's business system, resource integration, and the Game Coins earned from a few opportunistic raids… My god, I can't think about it, the more I think the scarier it gets."

"Wuya Dalao is awesome!!!"

Dong Da Qu's channel had gone completely crazy.

"Black Feather! Black Feather! Black Feather!"

"Dong Da Qu Double List First! Double List First!!!"

"Friends of Great Wall Watch, no need to be sad! What's up with War Wolf Seventh? Our Dong Da Qu has first! third! seventh!"

"A Qing Qing kiss is also ours in Dong Da Qu! The top three share two!"

"Friends of Xi Da Qu, White Eagle is strong, really, but sorry, our Wu Ya is stronger."

"Bei Da Qu's Steel Heart is also awesome, but sorry, even if you smash a horse's rear, you can't catch up in points."

"Friends of Nan Da Qu, don't cry, Langa tenth, Holy Flame fifth, also strong! But sorry, even halving Wuya Lao Da's score still beats yours!"

"Hahahahaha I'm floating, I'm really floating, I can't sleep tonight."

Xi Da Qu's channel was silent, with an occasional one or two messages, all tinged with a strong sour taste.

"…9011 points, does that make sense?"

"Even Wings of Freedom piled all its faction resources up to only 4877, Wu Ya alone 9011…"

"So how rich is Black Feather really???"

"I suddenly understand why Black Feather can be first on the faction ranking…"

Bei Da Qu.

"Steel Heart only has 9233, Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji…"

"Stop talking, I want some peace."

"Is this the power of Dong Da Qu's number one… No, this is the power of the server's number one. Hard to imagine what else in this world Wu Ya can't do."

Nan Da Qu was comparatively calmer.

"Holy Flame fifth, Langa tenth, our Nan Da Qu also has two on the list!"

"Contentment brings happiness, contentment brings happiness…"

"Speaking of which, a Qing Qing kiss and Wu Ya are both Dong Da Qu's, is Dong Da Qu trying to dominate the whole server?"

"Holy Flame boss, we used to brag about going to Dong Da Qu to preach, do we still want to?"

Inside the office.

Xinxue had completely let herself loose.

Ahhhhhhhhh—!!!

She hugged Ginger Candy, hopping and jumping, her hair flailing in a mess, and tears streamed out.

Ginger Candy was spun dizzy by her, but the smile on her face wouldn't fade: "First! Lao Da is first!"

"Overall first!!!" Wan Yi's tea cup in her hand had long been shattered, but she didn't care at all, her eyes reddened as she shouted, "Mileage first! Wealth first! Instance first!!!"

Ailin covered her mouth, her eyes also reddened.

Guang Hui and Chen Qing Shan stood together, the two men glanced at each other, then both burst into laughter.

The guide sat in the corner, a satisfied smile on his deeply wrinkled face, a glint in his cloudy old eyes.

Cheng Shuili still leaned against the back of the chair.

She watched the group in the room who were both crying and laughing, watched the World Channel flood with cheers, and the corner of her mouth slowly curved upward.

Then she gently exhaled.

Server‑wide first.

The personal ranking, also hers.

From the faction ranking to the personal ranking, from Black Feather to herself… Double List First.

No suspense, no surprise. Just first.

Xinxue finally had enough, her messy hair flying as she rushed over: "Lao Da! Lao Da! You have to say something! You're first! Server‑wide first!"

Cheng Shuili gave her a glance, her smile deepening a few more degrees.

"Hmm," she said, "I know."

Three words, lightly brushed off.

But they made Xinxue pause for a second, then laugh even more wildly.

Ahhh Lao Da is so handsome! Lao Da, I'll be your ox and horse for the rest of my life!

Ginger Candy laughed beside her, unable to straighten her back.

Joking aside, Cheng Shuili's gaze still couldn't help but glance back at the leaderboard.

【Rank 1: Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji (Dong Da Qu‑Black Feather), Mileage Score 4653, Wealth Score 9011, Instance Performance Score 4788, total.】

【Rank 2: Handsome White Eagle (Xi Da Qu‑Freedom Wing), Mileage Score 3366, Wealth Score 4877, Instance Performance Score 2891, total.】

【Rank 3: Qing Qing's Kiss (Dong Da Qu), Mileage Score 3887, Wealth Score 3012, Instance Performance Score 3766, total.】

Qin Wen, although third, is obvious to the discerning that White Eagle's win was unearned. To put it bluntly, the first and second places were actually both claimed by the Dong Da Qu.

Cheng Shuili looked at that name, the smile at the corner of her mouth deepening a few more degrees.

Amid the joyous celebration inside the Dong Da Qu and Black Feather, the Weaver Girl's voice rang out again:
