Chapter 443: Promotion to Shelter Leaderboard Top 1, Ultimate Title for the "City Shadows" Route |
"Baku, now Green Forest is down to you. Surrender or die!"
Yu Yuan's voice echoed through the prison.
Blackfire stared at the Heavy Hammer that had suddenly appeared in Yu Yuan's hand, murmuring to himself,
"Spatial folding technology… isn't that still a conceptual-level tech?"
Habal fixed his gaze on Yu Yuan, but with his peripheral vision he watched Baku's choice.
Baku's face had grown very complex and solemn.
His mind kept replaying Yu Yuan's earlier sentence.
—The whole of Green Forest is down to you.
There was no clearer meaning to that line.
And as far as Baku knew, only one faction had the capability to do that.
"Y-You… are you from the Aurora Animal Assistance Association?"
"Hmph—"
Yu Yuan shook his head slightly.
"No, you should say, they are my people! Not only them, the Black Shield Police Department, the May Alliance, the Black Rock Caravan, the Big Gold Tooth Brotherhood, the Green Forest Parliament Alliance are all my people…"
Hiss—
At those words, Baku swallowed hard, his mouth slightly open as he stared at Yu Yuan, unable to find anything to say.
He naturally noticed that the Iron Anchor Shipping Company had been left out.
Why would Green Forest City's power structure be missing only them? The thought chilled him to the bone.
Baku's lips trembled twice, and in the end he could only force a bitter smile.
After the two tremors, he dropped to one knee and slowly bowed his head.
"Understood, leader… we… surrender…"
With Baku's surrender, Blackfire and Habal didn't hesitate either, immediately dropping to one knee and assuming the posture of submission.
"Leader, we surrender!"
At that moment.
Boom—
Yu Yuan felt as if an explosion had gone off in his ears, continuous "ding ding dang dang" mechanical notification sounds ringing one after another.
The Virtual Light Screen popped up, spamming his vision with nonstop notifications.

——————————
At the exact moment Yu Yuan's final notification finished refreshing,
the one hundred thousand players on the Shelter Leaderboard all heard continuous "ding ding ding ding…" notification sounds.
They were accompanied by vibration effects.
So, no matter what the players were doing at that moment, they all showed expressions of horror.
"What the hell… what just happened!"
They immediately realized something was wrong and opened their Virtual Light Screens, seeing a sight they would never forget.
[ Congratulations 'Yu Yuan Shelter' on achieving Epic achievement '******', well done! ]
[ Congratulations 'Yu Yuan Shelter' on topping the Rock Rank shelter leaderboard, well done! ]
When five Epic achievement messages and one top-ranking message appeared pinned at the top of the chat channel,
especially the leaderboard top notification,
everyone on the leaderboard was stunned.
Their shock was beyond expression.
Only silence could convey how they felt.
Again it was Yu Yuan Shelter.
Again Epic achievements.
Again a public channel broadcast.
And it had taken the top spot on the leaderboard.
But what the hell was going on?
These were Epic achievements!
They were not common.
Had he gone shopping?
Others fought tooth and nail and couldn't obtain a single Epic achievement.
He had received five at once.
Was he even human?
When someone is only a little better than you, you feel envy, jealousy, even hostility.
But when someone is so outstanding they exceed your imagination and become unreachable,
people often turn to worship and belief.
At this moment, everyone on the leaderboard who looked at the words "Yu Yuan Shelter" formed the same image in their minds.
—In the pitch-black sky, a brilliant star shone with blinding light, rising slowly, framed by other stars.
A shared emotion flickered in their eyes.
—As if they were kneeling before a new god!
When that feeling faded, everyone's thoughts started to churn.
They noticed an oddity in the announcement messages.
"What's going on? Why are the achievements in the announcement all hidden?"
"This… this never happened before. What kind of achievement or item effect is this…"
"Yu Yuan Shelter… how did he pull this off, how… how did he do it…"
Because of this, Yu Yuan Shelter became even more mysterious in other players' eyes.
People either fear the unknown or worship it…
So their awe of Yu Yuan Shelter only deepened.
But unlike most people's awe and worship,
some players near the top of the leaderboard were filled with fear, panic, and regret at this moment.
"I really lost my head! Before, trying to curry favor, I actually revealed Yu Yuan Shelter's situation to the Blood Clan. Compared to the Blood Clan, Yu Yuan is the real big shot!" said the player ranked 11th on the leaderboard.
"Don't panic, don't panic… don't psych yourself out. He's not a deity, there's no way he knows I leaked his information to the Blood Clan…" said the player ranked 9th.
"God, please let this Yu Yuan quickly advance to Bronze Rank…" said the player ranked 23rd.
But some showed joy, like Hive Shelter.
He couldn't wait to open his friend list and tap Greenfield Cruise Ship.
[ Hive Shelter: About what we discussed earlier—if you have firsthand info on Yu Yuan Shelter, I'll pay top price. Still good? ]
Soon, the other side replied.
[ Greenfield Cruise Ship: It's good… ]
