As the assessment progressed into its later stages, the 277 squad steadily advanced forward, while Emerald Sparrow increasingly felt idle.
After clearing the first node and claiming an early reward, they efficiently found the second node. Though another squad had already entered, and initially was reluctant to cooperate with the 277 squad, Tu Dinggui's incredible strength, almost handling the Remnant Beasts in the node all by herself, made them reconsider their stance. In the end, out of respect for Tu Dinggui, they voluntarily conceded half of the rewards.
After tackling the second node, the trio found and solved two more puzzles, adding to the rewards from the five puzzles they had already completed. With the five puzzle rewards and points from two nodes, the 277 squad firmly secured their seat at the top of the "Maze Rewards Points Ranking."
