Chapter 1410: 1311, Far Ahead (3)_10 Chapter 1410: 1311, Far Ahead (3)_10 The settlement cycle for points is 3 hours.

Every 3 hours, the staff responsible for points settlement will announce the confirmed points, making them available for everyone to check.

The time for the points announcement is also referred to as “settlement point”.

Three hours after the start of the bounty, the first settlement point finally arrived!

In the interface of the public network bounty event, the points of each team are refreshed and reranked, showing the scores after settlement.

Everyone was waiting for this moment.

After the time arrived, whether it was internal members like Lu Man and Bella, the teams participating in the bounty, or the ordinary residents watching the excitement, everyone immediately clicked to check and see which teams were in the lead this time.

However, it wasn’t long before a roar of astonishment erupted across various star zones:
“By the hymn, it’s still ‘Fugue Nova’ in first place!”

“1863 points! That’s an increase of 952 points since the start.”

“Have the major power teams really not overtaken them? Wait, ‘Lemo Mercenaries’ are now second, but they only have 1150 points, which is an increase of only 418 points from the first time? Why such a small increase?”

At this settlement point, “Mole Mercenaries” scored 1150 points, narrowly surpassing competitors by 3 points (“Silver guard” with 1147 points) to come in second place.

But what truly astounded everyone was that these teams from major powers not only failed to close the points gap with Su Yu’s Team, but actually widened it!

And not by just a little bit!

Su Yu’s Team added 952 points in 3 hours, while the other teams in the top ten generally only had 300-400 points. How could they ever hope to catch up at this rate!

“My god, who exactly is this ‘Su Yu’? That’s terrifying!”

“According to this pace, no other teams can surpass them.”

“In 3 hours, a massive increase of over nine hundred points… I know a team that also participated in the bounty, they worked very hard, all members are Eighth Order, yet in 3 hours they only managed to score a little over one hundred points.”

“I thought this team was just a flash in the pan, but it looks like that’s totally not the case!”

…

The public network was filled with exclamations everywhere.

Three hours ago, everyone thought that Su Yu was just lucky or had strong individual capability, and that it wouldn’t be long before they fell behind.

But unexpectedly, they showed no signs of falling behind, and continued to comfortably lead, by a landslide!

In the main command office of the Pan-South Base 05 in Star Sector No. 2, Lu Man and his assistant Bella were also completely stunned!

The unexpectedly strong performance of Su Yu’s Team was truly defying the odds!

“Indeed, my intuition wasn’t off,” Bella thought to herself.

She looked at Lu Man and said seriously, “Lord Grid, should we take measures?”

“… Let’s wait a bit longer,” Lu Man hesitated.

Su Yu’s performance was completely beyond his expectations, thoroughly embarrassing him.

Could it be that Su Yu’s luck was extraordinarily good, allowing him to uncover a case like the ‘Morris case’ again?

But it seemed too early to suppress Su Yu’s Team now, better to understand the specific situation first.

“Bella, check the specific details of the cases submitted by Su Yu.”

“Understood.”

“Additionally, let’s wait a bit more, and see after the next settlement point.”

…

Amidst the bustling inquiries, time quickly passed.

Shortly, another 3 hours passed, bringing the time to the second settlement point.

But at this settlement point, Lu Man was clearly much more anxious.

During the recent time, he and his assistant Bella had reviewed every case reported by Su Yu.

But on examining, they were taken aback!

The additional 952 points won by Su Yu were not from cracking another big case like the ‘Morris case’ as he had anticipated. These 952 points included 9 cases, each case around a hundred points.

Moreover, what shocked him was that every case had extremely solid evidence!

He looked at the evidence and could not find any points that were unclear or vaguely described.

Moreover, each case bore no traces of fabrication, all occurring after the bounty started, leaving no room for objections.

These already fully demonstrated Su Yu’s capability, Su Yu wasn’t just momentarily lucky, they truly could maintain a significant lead!

All these facts made Lu Man feel a sting in his face, his judgment had indeed been wrong!

And Lu Man guessed that at this settlement point, Su Yu’s Team was likely still in the lead.

…

As expected.

After another 3 hours, the second settlement point arrived, and the scores of each team were refreshed again.

At this settlement point, Su Yu’s Team gained an additional 666 points, continuing to hold first place, with a total of 2529 points.

Second place was taken back by the “Silver Guard,” who scored 390 points at this settlement, bringing their total to 1537 points.

The third place “Lemo Mercenaries” followed closely, trailing by just 7 points.

Now, the gap between the first and second place had widened again, closing in on a 1000-point lead!

Three hours later, the first settlement point of the bounty activity arrived.

A “settlement point” refers to the nodes for the settlement of bounty points.

In the bounty activity, the activity points are not updated in real-time.

That’s because once cases are reported, they require repeated verification, and points are subject to issues of under-scoring, over-scoring, or missing scoring.

For example, a case originally rated at 500 points may increase in rating upon discovering new victims during verification, or it may decrease if the reporting team exaggerates the facts.

Thus, points aren’t shown immediately after a case is reported; they must be carefully checked and confirmed to be correct before the corresponding scores are awarded.

The settlement cycle for points is 3 hours.
