Country rankings?
Many people moved towards that person and were very interested.
Country rankings were the most practical ranking of strength. Each job had its rankings, such as the top ten brands, five giants, three peaks, etc. There were first-rate idols, three kings, etc. Sports also had their rankings.
Each would attract a lot of attention. Some recognized rankings would become something of power. People would treat them as symbols.
Information was locked up in the apocalypse, and many people wanted to know what was happening outside. They also wanted to know their ranking among other survivors.
Such rankings were a mark for them. Although they couldnât tell themselves who they were, they could tell how they were ranked.
Even Ye Zhongming was interested in such a ranking. This made him recall Ying Cityâs faction rankings. Bai Feng, Zhao Xingmei, and the others fought hard to get those rankings.
The captain was satisfied with the amount of excitement he caused. But after saying that, he continued driving the boat and said nothing else.
Everyone looked at each other. One person exclaimed, âDamn, your Five Ring Money is so money minded. You want money for this bit of information?â
Everyone understood that it wasnât free.
Some bad-tempered people cursed, but they didnât dare to offend him. Some people looked helplessly, and some were silent. They made their mind up not to pay a single cent.
Ye Zhongming signaled to Zhao Xiangxue. She walked over unwillingly and placed a level three crystal down.
Logically speaking, one level three crystal was enough for a ranking many would find out about. But the captain took a look and shook his head.
Zhao Xiangxue clenched her staff.
Although she hadnât joined Chameleon for a long time and wasnât a level-six evolved for long, she had gone through many missions and had been very successful. As she was a focus of resources and did things viciously, which was a fit of Chameleonâs style, she was able to become one of the two deputies supporting Gao Yi.
She didnât have a good temper.
But seeing that her boss was behind her, if she caused trouble, their identity would be exposed.
She placed another level three crystal and also used her gaze to warn him not to ask for more.
He laughed and kept the two crystals. He gave everyone an apologetic smile, âDonât blame me. The rankings arenât free, and they would cost money. I am just helping all of you familiarise yourself with the rules.â
The others laughed coldly and didnât believe in that thing.
That person coughed awkwardly, âThere are five rankings.â
Five? When he said that number, the others forgot about the captain's actions and asked which five.
âOverall strength rankings, equipment rankings, mutated lifeform rankings, battle beast rankings, and the one most people are interested in, solo combat strength rankings.â
The captain stopped holding back and said it all.
âSo many? Are they reliable?â
Someone questioned.
Indeed, what was the most important thing about rankings? Prestige!
How do we ensure prestige? Accuracy!
The apocalypse wasnât an Internet era when information from one side of the world could be known on another side in a few seconds. Even in the same region, it would take days for information to spread.
But this captain was confident in the rankings, and he said proudly, âDonât worry. We worked with those few organizations. I canât ensure that the rankings didnât miss things, but they can reflect most situations. Donât focus on the details. Were world rankings in the past fully correct?â
That was true. There were even information mistakes in the internet era, much less now.
âLet me talk about our enemies first.â
He was solemn, and so were the others. The main theme of the apocalypse was the battle between humans and mutated lifeforms. Everyone wanted to know how strong their enemies had become.
Ye Zhongming listened carefully. Cloud Peak didnât focus on this.
âThere are 50 mutated lifeforms. As there are too many, I wonât say them all; I will just say the top ten.â
The captain was getting closer to the entrance and started describing the mutated lifeform rankings.
âTenth, Red Taishan, level eight mutated lifeform! You would know it is a giant ape from the name. It has red hair and is over 20 meters tall. It lives around the Huadong Region. The most famous thing it did was to destroy a strong medium-sized zombie horde.â
âNinth, Bai Mi, level eight. It is a mutated Antelope. Naturally, it is in Tibet, but as it loves rice, so people gave it the name. If you want to live when you bump into it, you must have rice on you! The most famous thing it did was⊠It killed Delusional Monk.â
Many people hadnât recovered from the shock of the first giant ape and were now shocked by the ranked ninth Bai Mi.
Delusional Monk was too famous, be it in his last life or this.
This person used the radio to spread his voice at the start of the apocalypse. His journey, evolution process, evolution level, etc, were told to the public. Many evolved that brought radios all knew about this monk. Everyone was also shocked at his speed.
They believed his strength because he would explain what he hunted, his location, and the gains from the wheels. Like an inventory list, he would say it all out, which was why people had to trust him.
It was impossible to lie to this extent.
Although few stations could be used, he occasionally spread the news from his activity zones.
But this monk suddenly disappeared two months ago. No one knew where he went. When he disappeared, he was already seven stars.
No one expected the monk to die, and he was killed by this mutated antelope called Bai Mi.
Everyone had a new understanding of this list.
