Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1826: Situation change

While the newcomers were fighting desperately on the battlefield, at that moment, on the periphery of this novice training planet, aboard many spacecraft, numerous races were paying attention to this largest-scale trial in recent years.

“Aike and the others are doing quite well, aren’t they!”

A being with a triangular head, dark bluish skin, little hair, and a pair of huge eyes was holding an exquisite metal cup with its sharp seven-fingered hand, drinking while watching a huge light screen.

The screen was divided into two parts: one part was the rankings, including points ranking, kill ranking, efficiency ranking, same-species kill ranking, and real-time combat power ranking, among others—much richer in content than what the newcomers saw on their recorders.

The other half displayed numerous live broadcast feeds, although these couldn’t be switched arbitrarily and focused solely on select key areas.

“The people chosen by our Huo’er Star are definitely good.”

Another similar being stood nearby, wearing a strange, light silver robe dotted with black spots, looking very peculiar, though the material was unknown.

“Big brother, do you think Father can reach an agreement with those from Reina Star this time?” the standing being asked the drinking one, somewhat uncertainly.

“Don’t worry, it should be fine,” the one called big brother said, standing up and also positioning himself in front of the light screen, shoulder to shoulder with his brother.

Whether in attire or appearance, they were almost identical.

“Whether it’s our Huo’er Star camp or the Reina Star camp, we’ve all realized that things are getting worse and more serious. If we don’t break through, all that awaits us is annihilation—it’s just a matter of how long we can hold out, but the result is the same.”

“Father says it’s time to give up our previous stance. No matter what the wheel is like, we can’t leave it for now. Our differences can be set aside for the time being. We’ll get through this difficulty first.”

The younger brother nodded, then suddenly extended a dark red tentacle from his collar, about the thickness of a human finger, which inserted into the cup in his brother’s hand and began to suck.

The older brother gave his brother an annoyed look. “Can you stop messing around? Is your body tube meant for drinking alcohol?”

The younger brother chuckled and retracted the thing.

“Reina Star actually thinks the same as we do. Wanting to negotiate with Father is just for the sake of interest. From what I know, this novice battlefield is a bet between the two sides. Whoever wins gets the larger share of benefits; whoever loses gets the smaller share.”

Hearing this, the younger brother was taken aback and asked doubtfully, “What is the larger share? And what is the smaller share?”

“The larger share is the Su Race faction plus seven hundred small races.”

“And the smaller share is the Taros Red Dwarves and three hundred small races!”

…………………………………………

On the Star-Eye Clan’s spacecraft, Aslan and the others were also staring at the light screen.

A few hours ago, they had been very excited.

Because at that time, the points of their favored Ye Zhongming and Jie Kui had a rapid, brief increase, and their rankings jumped from the bottom to around two thousand. Among the over thirty thousand participants in the novice battlefield, this ranking was very good—it could even be said to basically equal the Star-Eye Clan’s best results in previous years.

Of course, that referred to after the novice battlefield ended.

With this momentum, the trial’s direction was promising.

Although the Star-Eye Clan was small and their spacecraft’s light screen wasn’t as grand or luxurious as others’, it still had the necessary information, such as the efficiency ranking and combat power ranking.

Since every newcomer had a recorder, their data was accurately collected and analyzed, resulting in efficiency and combat power rankings.

Of course, these changed at any time and weren’t the main reference, but they provided some basis for analyzing the situation for various seeds being watched.

Ye Zhongming was ranked in the top two hundred on the efficiency ranking, which was significantly higher than his actual points ranking.

This indicated that his success rate in hunting prey was extremely high.

In the view of Aslan and the others, this was very noteworthy. A high success rate meant Ye Zhongming fought relatively easily and should either be uninjured or only lightly wounded, which was crucial for the twenty-one-day combat period.

Light injuries also meant spending fewer points on healing, which greatly affected the final outcome.

“Jie Kui is with him. Look, they appeared together at this transmission point. These two are really bold, going to such a dangerous place.”

The number of real-time monitoring points was limited, so everyone could only see that Ye Zhongming and Jie Kui had gone to Area 27.

“Those two aren’t with them.”

The speaker continued, then glanced at the points. “They’re quite a bit behind Ye Zhongming and Jie Kui.”

Shi Kangbu and Bu Lanuo had chosen to act independently. Although they had gained some points, they couldn’t compare to Ye Zhongming and the other.

“Hmph.” Aslan snorted coldly. These two entrusted individuals were indeed not very reliable.

However, in the following few hours, Ye Zhongming’s points didn’t change much, only increasing three times, which was much lower than his previous efficiency.

As for Jie Kui’s, there was no change at all.

This undoubtedly made the Star-Eye Clan members very anxious.

Previously, the combined points of Ye Zhongming, Jie Kui, Shi Kangbu, and Bu Lanuo could rank around seven hundred in the overall race ranking.

This ranking was actually quite good. Although it couldn’t reach the minimum goal of the top fifty, the efficiency shown by Ye Zhongming and Jie Kui would allow them to improve their ranking in future stages further.

If not for Shi Kangbu and Bu Lanuo dragging them down a bit, the Star-Eye Clan might have broken into the top four hundred.

But now, not only were their individual rankings falling rapidly, but the Star-Eye Clan’s ranking was also plummeting.

“Look at the combat power ranking!”

Previously, Ye Zhongming’s individual combat power ranking had hovered around one hundred—the highest among the Star-Eye Clan’s rankings. Several friendly races had even sent messages to congratulate them.

This had been the reason for the Star-Eye Clan’s increased confidence earlier.

But now, at a certain moment, Ye Zhongming’s combat power suddenly dropped sharply, now at over eleven thousand!

This… was a sign of almost irreversible injury!

Was he injured? What had happened in such a short time?

At the same time, on the monitoring light screens of these myriad races, behind each newcomer of their own race, a number was marked, indicating the number and names of other newcomers they had killed.

While Ye Zhongming’s various rankings were falling, these also appeared behind him.

“He encountered challenges from other newcomers, killed two, and then was severely injured?!”

A Star-Eye Clan member said this, which was the most reasonable explanation now.

Aslan gritted her teeth and ordered her subordinate, “Find out which camp and race the two lives he killed belonged to.”

A moment later, the female birdman learned the answer, and her face instantly turned pale.

“Reina Star camp, Gold Silver Island.”
