Chapter 1682 Ways to Improve Efficiency!

Ye Chuyun's gaze lingered on the astronomical numbers at the top of the list, then swept over the still over 100 million points at the bottom, and finally looked at the points she had just earned.

With these few points, let alone making the list, they're not even a fraction of what those behemoths with hundreds of millions of points have.

It might not even be enough to exchange for a slightly decent treasure in the treasure hall.

"Two hundred thousand a hour sounds like a lot, but it's still far from the threshold of one hundred million, let alone exchanging it for those real treasures." Ye Chuyun's enthusiasm quickly cooled down.

"At this rate, even if I grind the timed stages non-stop, it would take me almost a month to accumulate 100 million base points. And that doesn't even take into account that as my strength increases, my point-earning efficiency might also increase. But where do those monsters at the top of the leaderboard get their points?"

There must be a faster way.

Ye Chuyun immediately realized that simply grinding through time-limited levels was too inefficient.

For ordinary trial participants, this might be a stable way to gain points, but for someone whose goal is a massive amount of points and who covets the top treasures in the Treasure Hall, this speed is unacceptable.

"We must find a way to improve the efficiency of points acquisition."

Ye Chuyun did not immediately choose to re-enter the trial, but decisively turned around and returned to the main hall through the blood-red light gate.

The main hall remained bustling with a constant stream of people.

At this moment, Ye Chuyun's mind was no longer on those strange looks.

He noticed that some people had just come out of the training grounds, still carrying the lingering killing intent or fatigue, but their eyes were filled with excitement as they hurried toward the treasure hall.

Some people huddled together, whispering amongst themselves, occasionally pointing in the direction of the trial grounds or the treasure hall.

Others sat cross-legged in a corner, with strange and unusual items in front of them, or signs with text indicating transactions.

Seeing this, Ye Chuyun adjusted her expression and walked towards a group of people that seemed to be moving around relatively frequently.

Instead of asking directly, he stood on the periphery pretending to casually browse while secretly listening to their conversation.

"The Berserker Abyss refreshed again yesterday, and this time the 'Demon Flame Decapitation Blade' is priced at three million points. That's outrageous!"

"Three million? You'd have to be alive to take it. Last time, three Heavenly Realm experts died fighting over a single material at the Bone Throne."

"I heard that a new hidden route has recently appeared in the Illusion Maze, and someone has dug up an Illusion Orb that can directly add five million points."

"Those top ten on the leaderboard have reportedly already cleared the first fifty floors of the Eternal Trial Tower. The reward for clearing each floor is a massive amount of points, plus a special title bonus."

"You can't catch up by just grinding mobs and doing regular trials. You have to challenge high-difficulty dungeons, complete hidden quests, or find score-boosting items."

"Points-boosting items are extremely rare. Last time, a double points scroll appeared in the Treasure Pavilion and sold out in seconds. The person who bought it immediately resold it for a sky-high price of five million points."

"By the way, have you heard? It seems like a new book called 'Detailed Explanation of Basic Points Acquisition Efficiency' has recently been added to the third floor of the Treasure Hall. Although it's only basic, it's very useful for newcomers. It seems to only cost 10,000 points."

As fragmented information continued to reach Ye Chuyun's ears, his eyes gradually brightened.

Sure enough, this golden temple, which has existed for who knows how long and has attracted countless powerful figures from around the world, has long since developed a points-based system.

"The Eternal Trial Tower, the Illusion Maze, and the Raging Abyss are clearly more challenging than simple time-limited dungeons, but the rewards are also higher."

"If I could get my hands on a point-boosting item, even just for a short time, it would double my scoring efficiency."

"And that book, 'Detailed Explanation of Basic Points Acquisition Efficiency,' only costs 10,000 points. It might provide the information I need most right now."

Thinking of this, Ye Chuyun stopped lingering. He glanced in the direction of the treasure hall and then looked at his pitiful points.

"First, go and exchange for that basic tome to gather enough information before deciding whether to challenge a high-difficulty dungeon or try to obtain score-boosting items."

He took another step and walked towards the white light gate of the treasure hall.

Stepping into the Treasure Hall again, Ye Chuyun was no longer the penniless pauper; he now had at least two hundred thousand points.

Before he could even search for the book, the guiding light orb suddenly shot over from afar and hovered lightly in front of him, its light seemingly brighter and softer than before.

"Dear visitor, welcome back to the Treasure Hall." A neutral voice rang out, its tone noticeably warmer than before.

"You have 258640 Temple Points. How may I help you?"

"Whether it's treasure searching, category browsing, or searching for specific items, I can provide you with the most detailed information."

The stark contrast in attitude before and after made Ye Chuyun sigh inwardly, "Such a fickle face."

He stated his purpose directly: "I want to buy the book 'Detailed Explanation of Basic Points Acquisition Efficiency,' and I also want to learn about the items related to 'points-boosting items.'"

"Okay, please wait a moment." The guiding spirit's light flickered slightly, seemingly searching rapidly.

"Your target text has been located."

A screen of light unfolded in front of Ye Chuyun, displaying the phantom image of an ancient book and detailed information.

[Item Name]: Detailed Explanation of Basic Points Acquisition Efficiency (Classic)

[Item Type]: Knowledge/Rule Analysis

[Item Description]: A basic guidebook derived from the rules of the Golden Temple. It systematically introduces the mainstream and hidden ways to obtain points within the temple, the rules of the modes, efficiency comparisons and basic strategies. It has extremely high reference value for novice trial participants.

[Exchange Price]: 10000 Temple Points

[Inventory Status]: Sufficient

"Confirm redemption." Ye Chuyun replied without hesitation.

"Exchange successful. 10000 Temple Points deducted. Your current remaining points: 248640."

With a flash of light, a physical book made of neither paper nor leather appeared out of thin air in Ye Chuyun's hand.

The book felt slightly heavy in my hand, and the title on the cover was written in universal divine script, emitting a faint glow.

Information about point-boosting items then appeared in a list on the screen, but there were very few items and the prices were staggering.

[Double Points Scroll (1 Hour)]: For one hour after use, all points earned through all means will be doubled. Price: 5000000 points. (Out of Stock)
