Chapter 72 Part 1 一 “That’s it?” “Well, that’s it.”
After seeing loudspeaker from Wen Juxi’s trumpet “Guaguagua”, numerous onlookers quickly joined in.
【[Small Loudspeaker] Following Big Brother: Let’s clamor and wait to watch the fight. Is there any reporter in the front to report?】
【[Big Loudspeaker] Jiang Jiang: To gang up for a fight, you guys can do it.】
【[Big Loudspeaker] Big Potato: Bet on Minmin Guild. The Avengers Guild over there are all newcomers, lacking in skills and cooperation, making it difficult.】
【[Big Loudspeaker] A Fragile Heart: Who says The Avengers Guild can’t do it? Use money to crush them!】
【[Big Loudspeaker] Such Sweetness: The prices in our district have increased a lot due to the arrival of The Avengers Guild. The Heavenly Scriptures went from five yuan a book to eight yuan… Even the silver in the Treasure Shop can’t be bought anymore… I’ve personally experienced the power of the wealthy!】
【[Small Loudspeaker] Sunny Day: QAQ Bosses, slow down on spending money, leave some for the children, sob sob sob.】
Due to the arrival of The Avengers Guild, the prices in District 1 have undergone a tremendous change.
There are many bosses in the online game <A Chinese Ghost Story>, and many people have spent thousand yuan on equipment, but this is the first time everyone has seen a group of people parachuting in and doubling the prices…
How to say.
Now, in the Treasure Shop, items and goods used for fights are in high demand, and there’s almost not enough supply.
Considering what Lao Hei said before, “The bosses have prepared more than 100 million yuan,” the players are once again shocked.
【[Big Loudspeaker] Gossip Journalist: If the bosses really bring over more than 100 million yuan, why are they even playing the game? Can’t they just buy the game directly?!】
After the founding of The Avengers Guild, its declaration was copied to the world and same-level channels. Many players, aside from finding it amusing, applied to join, especially those who had grudges against the Minmin Guild and didn’t have a guild.
Lao Hei agreed to let in a few players who were good at fighting.
After seeing Gossip Journalist’s loudspeaker, other players curiously asked the same question in the guild chat.
一一Why not buy the game when you have the money and build it however you want?
There are many players who think the same way.
After a while, a player with the title “The Avengers Guild Member” sent a loudspeaker.
【Plain Water: “I asked the bosses, and their exact words were 一一”Who plays their own game?”】
All players: …
Very well.
You’ve got us there.
Games are meant for spending money, what’s the fun in games that you can’t spend money on!
Ruan Yōu and Lu Jin, among others, would rather spend 500 million yuan in the game than buy this one.
Player Plain Water’s seemingly simple statement sparked curiosity among all players on the district.
Having the money to buy the game but choosing not to 一一 why?
Alright.
Let’s see how skilled these bosses really are!
In an instant, <A Chinese Ghost Story> forums, and players on other districts began discussing the upcoming massive group battle.
Other district’s players can only hear others talking through the loudspeaker, and they were so itchy that they wished they could create a trumpet and come over to watch.
In contrast, the livestreams of players in District 1 have tripled in popularity. As long as the streamer changes the room name to “District 1 Melon,” many people click in to watch and discuss the fights.
Most fighter players aren’t very optimistic about The Avengers Guild.
It’s not because they have poor equipment or look down on them.
It’s just that combat in the game requires teamwork, especially in group battles. Knowing when to use the healer’s group resurrection, when to use group immunity skills, and when to use group crowd control abilities—all these skills have cooldowns of only a few seconds.
To win, they must be used strategically, one after another, and not randomly. The Avengers Guild players are mostly newcomers, while Minmin Guild has been fighting for over half a year and has mastered the combat techniques. Winning this fight is indeed challenging.
Both sides engage in group battles on a map called “Dunhuang.”
At ten o’clock, a big BOSS will spawn here, dropping some valuable items. These items aren’t worth much, but fighting for the BOSS here is equivalent to competing for a guild’s reputation.
It’s only eight o’clock now.
Eight people including Ruan Yōu and Gu Fuchen, each have a booster to learn one-on-one.
Everyone is very dedicated to their learning.
Lu Jin went out to make a phone call and, upon returning, was so moved that he wanted to “shed tears” when he saw this scene.
His sister, Lu Xuan, had never been this dedicated to anything during her school days, but now she’s playing games with such seriousness.
Of course, if they could just ignore their guild’s bullying declaration, it would be perfect.
Gu Fuchen was forced into playing a physical damage dealer role, and Ruan Yōu was playing a spellcaster damage dealer. These young miss and overlords, prefer damage-dealing roles, but healers and support roles that can disrupt the opponent are equally important.
Finally, under Ruan Yōu’s repeated “sincere” suggestions, Fu Jiazhan played a healer, and Jiang Huai was responsible for causing chaos in the crowd.
With one-on-one guidance from the booster, Ruan Yōu quickly mastered all skills of the characters, used them flexibly, and even organized two 6v6 simulated training sessions.
In fact, their lineup wasn’t bad.
Among the eight bosses, five were highly intelligent overlords, and Ruan Yōu was sensitive to data. There was also an all-around operator, Qi Nuo. After the booster explained it a bit, Qi Nuo could assist Lu Xuan as a teacher.
The only “not-so-bright” little princess was simply perceived as a bit of a dumb beauty in real life. Her learning ability was slow, but during college, she was forced to study investment management for two years, so her mind wasn’t empty.
Lao Hei and the other seven booster noticed that several of the bosses had a particularly fast learning, and for some reason, they were all sensitive to data and had excellent memory.
As they were teaching, a strange thought began to emerge in their minds.
Did <A Chinese Ghost Story> really worth of them to learn this seriously?
Playing this game was truly a waste of their sharp minds and precious time.
Or…
Should they just put down the mouse and keyboard and continue making money? (bushi
You guys are too amazing and the game doesn’t deserve it.
At 9:50, Lao Hei, as the commander, spoke on YY Voice, and the other seven boosters were also present.
Lao Hei: “Bosses, can you report your numbers later? Lao Liu1 and Lao Si2 have identified two sets of invincible skills on their equipment. The skills of the others are quite fragmented. We will assign numbers accordingly. If bosses has immunity skills, they should step forward.”
Lao Hei knew that the bosses were new to this game.
Each character originally has more than ten skills. If we add the skills from equipment on top of that, it becomes too many. Lao Hei afraid they won’t be able to handle it all, so he place the six invincible sets for the booster’s characters.
As for the extra items, he use them to enhance the bosses accounts.
Obtaining the invincible skills relies entirely on luck. The two bosses character, Lao Liu and Lao Si, had good luck and didn’t need to use many “Heavenly Scriptures.” These books have to be acquired by players; they can’t be bought in the ordinary store. So even if the bosses have money, they still have to wait until there are “Heavenly Scriptures” available.
We all understand this reasoning.
However一
【[Guild] LiuLiu: Can you please stop calling me Lao Liu?】
【[Guild] Eldest Brother: Lao Liu is a good title. As the eldest brother, I declare that we should continue using it!】
Ruan Yōu: ?
“Jiang Huai, are you asking for trouble? You’re the real Lao Liu, you old, old Lao Liu.” Ruan Yōu put down the mouse and threw the pillow from the chair onto Jiang Huai’s face.
Tsk, tsk, tsk!
Why does he get to be the eldest brother?
Lu Jin glanced at the two playfully quarreling people and replied in the game.
【[Guild] Lao Si: We can use voice chat.】
With a voice changer, it’ll work.
On this point, Ruan Yōu had already figured it out.
At 9:55, Ruan Yōu logged onto YY Voice and a heated battle was about to begin.
At this moment, in the live streaming app for the game, the number of viewers in the <A Chinese Ghost Story> live rooms had already reached a historic high.
【Ah, quick, quick, quick, after the game, I’m going to take a shower.】
【Haha, friends, don’t rush, we can’t determine the outcome in one match, this could last for months.】
【At the beginning, The Avengers Guild had a high chance of losing, winning would be a miracle considering they’re all newcomers, but I think just being able to fight is good, they’ve got some spirit.】
【Ah, haven’t even started, and you’re already rooting for The Avengers Guild?】
. . . . .
At 9:58, Lao Hei said in the microphone, “Lao Er3, Lao Liu, follow me out of the safe zone to the BOSS spawn.”
Ruan Yōu, using a voice changer, replied, “Don’t call me Lao Liu!!”
Lao Hei was puzzled.
“Lao Liu… Oh, wait, Liu Liu is a girl?”
With eight bosses around, he couldn’t distinguish who was the rich boss that initially invited him to the WeChat group.
Seeing Lao Si and others calling Liu Liu “Lao Liu,” he instinctively thought she was a brother.
Result一一
Lao Hei sighed, “The rest of you are the real Lao Liu.”
Calling a rich lady ‘Lao Liu,’ they really had a lot of guts!
While joking, Lao Hei had already left the Dunhuang safe zone with Ruan Yōu and flew to the BOSS spawn point using a flight flag.
“Later I’ll mention ‘teleport’ and you guys can teleport over together. Xiao Xiao, once you arrive, use an evasion skill,” Lao Hei said.
The booster Xiao Xiao played as number 1 in their team.
Their team had a total of 18 people, while the opposing team had 38, outnumbering them.
Lu Xuan observed silently, feeling a bit anxious, and asked over voice chat, “Why do they have so many people?”
This doesn’t make sense.
There are more of them than our entire group!
Lao Hei comforted with a smile, “In their guild, there are some special trumpets for ultimate skills and trumpets for summoning skills. I estimate only two groups are serious about the fight.”
Xiao Xiao teased, “Boss, don’t worry, your intelligence alone surpasses the combined IQ of eight of them, they’re all Lao Liu.”
Ruan Yōu: ?
She felt like a dagger had just pierced her heart.
Why was she ranked sixth among these eight people?
Lu Xuan: “Is it true that the intelligence of the opposing team is so low?”
Xiao Xiao, a female booster, was just joking and bragging, but unexpectedly, the boss took it seriously. She found the boss inexplicably cute and laughed, saying, “If you want to believe that, it’s okay.”
“Don’t listen to Xiao Xiao, she’s just bragging. However, in the first battle, it was indeed very difficult for us to win. The main goal was to experience the atmosphere of fighting together. It’s okay to lose. The Minmin Guild has been fighting with Orange for almost half a year now. Fighting is a long-term thing.”
Lu Xuan nodded, fully focused on the screen, waiting only for Lao Hei to say “teleport” through the headset and immediately clicking on the guild window that popped up to teleport to the BOSS’s location.
Because Ruan Yōu and others didn’t like playing support characters, Lao Hei was forced to use a healer. Ruan Yōu and Gu Fuchen were dealing damage to the BOSS, and according to Lao Hei’s experience, Minmin Guild would teleport their entire guild over when the BOSS was about to be defeated. Lao Hei’s job was to immediately have the teammates from the safe area teleport over when the system prompted, “Must kill the BOSS within twenty seconds,” and prepare for the fight.
Things unfolded just as he had expected.
As soon as the system prompt appeared, Minmin Guild members immediately teleported over.
Lao Hei: “Xiao Xiao, Blueberry, after teleport, use immunity skills combo and focus your skills on the BOSS.”
“BOSS! BOSS!”
In the instant that The Avengers Guild members teleported, Minmin Guild members also teleported over.
Countless skills rained down on Ruan Yōu, and red and blue lights converged. Numerous skill effects exploded on the screen, and within two seconds, the BOSS’s health rapidly decreased.
The Minmin Guild members fought desperately to guard the BOSS, while Ruan Yōu, Gu Fuchen, and Lu Jin as the main damage dealers. Ruan Yōu skillfully pressed her single-target damage skills and moved every two seconds to a spot where the opponent couldn’t hit her, more focused than snatching red envelopes during the New Year.
Five seconds later, the BOSS collapsed.
“Choked to death!” Lu Xuan instinctively clenched her fist in celebration.
However, the end of the BOSS was just the beginning of this chaotic battle.
