Chapter 55: Acknowledgment

Jiang Qiao opened the Sacred Souls leaderboards, which held the rankings for player levels as well as the rankings for the combined guild prowess.

These two were both leaderboards that Jiang Qiao created on a whim, and players could check out their ranking from the Stone Slabs of Honor in front of the Lionheart City Palace.

The player that was ranked first on the player level leaderboard was still FreeMilk, and in a few days she had already leveled up to Level 38.

The player in second place was an elemental mage called Zanshin who was only Level 35.

Jiang Qiao wondered whether FreeMilk had been grinding for levels ever since she first logged into Sacred Souls.

‘Do liver emperors on the leaderboard not have to eat or sleep?’

Jiang Qiao remembered such a complaint on the forum, and after a bit of thought he figured that they could just have survived on IV drips.

The reason why Jiang Qiao didn’t implement the function to refresh the players’ minds from the mobile version of Sacred Souls onto the VR version because it was way too surreal even for Tiangong-13.

That being said, FreeMilk truly hadn’t gone offline ever since the day Sacred Souls started.

This made Jiang Qiao suspect that this player really was playing games with an IV drip…

Leaving this healer’s insanely long online period aside, Jiang Qiao moved his attention to the guild leaderboard.

The guild leaderboard was ranked according to the overall prowess of the guilds, and it was calculated based on several factors such as the number of members, their levels, the number of sacred relics they owned.

The first on the leaderboard was the Jumping Nucleons guild, and it had been that way ever since the start.

There were a total of 245 members with an average of Level 32, which was quite a scary number considering that the total number of players Level 30 and above was barely 700. A third of this total was were members of this guild.

The reason why the Jumping Nucleons guild could recruit so many elite players was because of the popularity of SC Nucleons that was behind it. Most players joined the guild because they wanted to fight alongside professional players.

Jiang Qiao could understand how the players felt, and if the word went out that Zhao Mingwei was in Jiang Qiao’s guild, he would probably receive dozens of requests in a heartbeat.

Of course he wouldn’t do something like that as No Name was purely a friendship-based guild. The reason why he created the guild in the first place was purely to test the guild functions and have fun playing the game.

This was completely different from the Jumping Nucleons guild that had their eyes on being the number one guild from the start.

This number one wasn’t only in terms of the number of members, but the average skill of the members too. They wanted to grab the first place in all the dungeons records and the popularity within players too!

Jiang Qiao felt the ambition of this guild, and the other professional game clubs definitely knew of this ambition too. According to the competition between guilds and clubs, they wouldn’t let the Jumping Nucleons guild have their way.

Like the Abyssal Shrine guild in second place, for example.

Compared with this guild that was joked as the evil organization, Jumping Nucleons was much more down to earth.

There were 432 members in that guild with an average of Level 21, and the popularity of the club behind it was the on par with SC Nucleons.

The competition between these two guilds extended into Sacred Souls, and Jiang Qiao guessed that a few more guilds and clubs were going to build their forces in this game sooner or later.

Jiang Qiao didn’t have any plans of stopping this competition from happening, and only planned on watching the show go on. This competition would become a motivator for these guilds to continue becoming stronger, and these guilds would be an important force for Jiang Qiao in the future.
