Chapter 952: Trouble Strikes as Usual (1/2)

Neon Radiance. It's a rare ability only a select few among the first batch possessed. Those that possessed this passive ability were all strong. After all, it meant that not only did they survive through the First Wave, they also killed the Neon Radiance King to obtain the ability.

Those with the ability were ranked in the top hundred of Layer 2. Considering the fact that around ten million people were brought into the place every month, it meant that competition was getting tougher with each passing day.

With tougher competition arose figures that stood above the rest, making up the Top 100. Every person in this ranking was tremendously powerful, despite only being mortals. It was because of the passive abilities they had obtained, as well as their fighting methods.

Normally, the passive ability one possessed was random since the two oceans were vast. Nevertheless, the only widely known passive ability was Neon Radiance. It was because this ability could only be obtained during the Waves.

Once the First Wave ended, all the Neon Radiance Fishes vanished. Hence, it was impossible to obtain that ability again. And since everyone with that ability was among those in the top 100, it was widely known.

Even the group of people that were trying to head towards Krune's boat stopped after trying for a couple of seconds, realizing the ability they were facing. Even if they were unwilling, they no longer had the guts to approach his boat.

Then again, despite that, they didn't wish to let go of any chances, slowly floating on the ocean waters as they drifted a fair distance away from his boat, following him. After seeing their intentions, Krune didn't mind their actions.

Instead, he felt that it would be fun since he would no longer be bored. Krune took out the rope he had and tied it on one end on one of the four pillars forming his boat. He then threw the rope towards the group of people, saying, ”Hold it so that you won't drown. I won't allow anyone to board my boat. With that said, I hope you don't annoy me too much.”

The moment he threw the rope, the group of people scrambled to grab hold of it as sounds of relief resounded amongst them. Even though their conditions weren't great as they had to remain on the water, at least the rope would prevent them from drowning.

Strinker and his group watched Krune's actions, unable to guess the thoughts that ran in his mind. If they judged based on appearance alone, Krune looked like a monster thanks to his skin armor. As the Monster Gecko skin armor covered his entire body, face included, it made him look like a bloodthirsty individual.

This was the reason Strinker hadn't made a move on Krune yet. He was deterred by Krune's appearance and stature. If it was the old kind-looking Krune, he would have definitely tried to take control of his boat.

'Just who is this guy?' Strinker thought as he double-tapped his glabella, summoning his tablet to pull up a certain page. It was the list of those who were in the top 100. From the first rank to the hundredth, Strinker looked through it completely, failing to find anyone by the name of Krune.

Eventually, he was unable to rein in his curiosity, facing Krune as he asked, ”Sir, what is your rank?”

”Rank? What's that?” Krune frowned as he asked in response, unaware. Seeing his reply, Strinker was caught off guard. He wondered if Krune was actually from the first batch, as he had said. Within a couple of seconds, numerous scenarios flashed through his mind as he noticed how Krune had never displayed any bloodthirst.

His cruel appearance was the only thing going for him. Beyond that, he hadn't shown any offensive nature. Even for the group of people that tried to take his boat, he lent them a helping hand, even if it was just throwing them a rope to remain afloat.

It made Strinker assume that Krune was actually weak and was just putting up a front. He didn't have it in him to fight against others and was just making up an excuse to save himself. Thinking as such, he displayed the contents of his tablet to Krune, saying, ”This is the ranking.”

Krune unleashed some light as he brightened up the area, allowing him to stare at the tablet better. He then frowned as he asked, ”Since when was such a list introduced? Anyways, how did you pull up that list?”

”When I tap five times on the tablet, this information pops up. The information displayed on the tablet changes according to the number of taps.” Strinker replied, wondering how Krune managed to survive without even knowing about something so basic.

'Strange.' Krune frowned, wondering if he had attempted that in the past when he was experimenting with the tablet. Soon, he realized that he wasn't clear about what he had experimented with. All he knew was that he didn't get anything from the tablet.

Thinking as such, he summoned his tablet and tapped on it five times, immediately watching a stream of data be displayed.
