There were still more than two hours before midnight. Qiao Yifan didn't continue to be sad here. After saying goodbye to Ye Xiu, he temporarily logged out of One Inch Ash and switched accounts to Desolate Land in the old server. He wanted to practice this dungeon a bit more.
After all, he was still a pro player. Even though he hadn't been in the game for long, it had been some time since he left Desolate Land. Of course he knew how to run this dungeon, but to set a record, he needed to understand every detail. Qiao Yifan began to seriously do his homework.
The distribution of monsters in each area, the types of monsters.
The choice of path when pushing.
The characteristics of each boss' skills and high-level skills.
Qiao Yifan used his main account to run Desolate Land three times. Soloing on his main account wasn't a problem for him. No matter how weak he was in Team Micrograss, being able to join was already a form of recognition of his strength. Even though he wasn't as good as his teammates, Qiao Yifan still hadn't lost to Tang Rou. He wasn't like Tang Rou or Baozi, who were noobs.
After familiarizing himself with the dungeon three times, midnight approached. Qiao Yifan switched accounts and returned to the tenth server. After sending a message to Ye Xiu, the two agreed to meet outside of Desolate Land.
On the way there, Qiao Yifan saw someone provoking Lord Grim in the world channel. One of the challenges was the Desolate Land dungeon record, and the other was that he wanted to challenge Lord Grim to a 1v1.
"Who is this person?" Qiao Yifan muttered to himself. Dungeon records didn't need to be mentioned. After all, that depended on the team. Moreover, low-level dungeons had their limits. Normal players could do it too, so their results naturally wouldn't be any worse than pro players.
But a 1v1 … … This was a direct clash of skill levels between the two sides. Someone who dared to challenge God Ye Qiu so arrogantly appeared in the game. It really made Qiao Yifan speechless.
As far as he knew, even their captain, Wang Jiexi, didn't dare to be so arrogant in front of God Ye Qiu. Only Team Tyranny's Han Wenqing would dare to challenge them like this! This God had been at odds with God Ye Qiu ever since he entered the Alliance. He had ended the Excellent Era's consecutive championships and could be considered his number one enemy.
In terms of skill, Han Wenqing was on par with the other gods, but this guy had a domineering aura about him. Furthermore, he had an extremely stubborn and direct personality. When he saw that something was wrong, he would immediately scold him.
It was said that in a certain competition, Tyranny lost miserably because of his poor performance. Han Wenqing lectured his team members after the competition. He repeatedly watched the recording of that day's competition, and whenever he saw a mistake, he would immediately pick it out and scold it. At that time, Tyranny's boss was also there. Halfway through, his phone suddenly rang. The cursing stopped. Han Wenqing turned to look at the boss coldly and said, "Get out."
The boss gave him face and immediately ran out to answer the phone. Tyranny's entire team was scared silly. Even their boss had been instantly killed. How could they dare to refuse?
Han Wenqing's personality was like this. In the Alliance, he was the only God who was on par with Ye Qiu in terms of experience and skill. But now, a nobody in the game was actually challenging God Ye Qiu to a 1v1. Qiao Yifan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
On the way here, he would see this person's message every two minutes. He didn't waste any of his time in the world chat. Qiao Yifan shook his head. God probably wouldn't even care about such a nobody's challenge, right?
Outside of Desolate Land, Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash finally met up with God Lord Grim. At the same time, he also saw Tang Rou's Han Yanrou, who wasn't a stranger to him. He had also met up with Baozi at the very beginning of the invasion. And then, there was Cleansing Mist, the Launcher. Seeing this character, everyone who knew about Lord Grim's identity would immediately think of Su Mucheng. The Launcher who would always stand by Ye Qiu's side, the Launcher who would always stand behind One Leaf Of Autumn. Now that Ye Qiu had retired, was this Launcher still Su Mucheng?
Qiao Yifan didn't dare ask. Even though he was a member of the championship team, he was invisible in his own team. In the eyes of other teams, his presence was even weaker. Qiao Yifan wasn't like the other pro players in his team. He wasn't an opponent on the field, but a friend off the field. Qiao Yifan didn't have an opponent, nor did he have a friend like that … …
"You're here." Seeing One Inch Ash come over, Ye Xiu greeted him, "We'll start immediately at midnight."
"Okay." Qiao Yifan replied. He opened up the dungeon leaderboards to confirm the record. This time, he immediately discovered a familiar name in the team at the top. Wasn't that the guy who had challenged God Ye Qiu in the world chat?
"No wonder he's so arrogant. That record is pretty good. It looks like he can be considered an expert. But I still need to see who his opponent is!" Qiao Yifan thought to himself.
"Is there a problem with your equipment?" Ye Xiu asked again.
"No problem." Qiao Yifan replied. He had bought a substitute leveling list and was responsible for a full set of equipment. Right now, One Inch Ash was wearing a full set of Level 30 Ghostblade class equipment. He was holding a Level 30 Purple Tachi Demon Slash.
"We're not going for speed the first time. We have a new player, so we'll let him integrate into our playstyle." Ye Xiu said.
"Is one time enough?" Baozi had probably thought of Full Moon Guild's guild leader. At first, he had said that he would integrate into their playstyle, but after three times, there hadn't been much of an improvement.
"It's enough." Ye Xiu laughed.
Qiao Yifan, who was on the side, heard the representative's reply. His heart was boiling. Seeing that there were still a few minutes left, he ran over and fiercely splashed his face with cold water. He had to maintain absolute clarity and focus. He couldn't betray God Ye Xiu's trust.
"It's refreshed. Let's enter the dungeon!"
At midnight, the dungeon entries refreshed. Ye Xiu led the others into Desolate Land.
At this moment, Lan He, who had also begun to run the dungeon, began to absent-mindedly check the world chat.
Poplar Beach's frequent messages made him feel a bit annoyed. This endless energy already didn't seem like he was trying to clear his name, but more like he was making a scene. Lan He didn't have any objections to this guy having this sort of hobby, but the problem was that his character was from Blue Brook Pavilion. Everyone knew this. His name was on the Desolate Land dungeon leaderboards!
He had the status of a guild member and was also an expert on the leaderboards. Yet, he was constantly shouting in the world chat. Lan He felt like he was making a fool of himself.
It wasn't that Lan He didn't want to remind him, but all he received was Poplar Beach's ridicule. Poplar Beach had participated in setting an even higher record. He was currently in an uncontrollable state of arrogance.
There was no need to mention how conflicted Lan He felt. He obviously hoped that the guild's record would remain, but when he thought of Poplar Beach's arrogance, he wished that someone would step on this record.
Of course, the only one who could step on this record was Lord Grim.
At this moment, Lan He felt a bit uneasy. He had always paid attention to Lord Grim's level. He had been stuck at Level 30 for too long. At this moment, Lan He and the others were already Level 33. The higher the level, the more time and experience required to level up, so the gap between them was smaller. According to Lord Grim's previous leveling speed, he should be about one and a half levels behind them. He was still stuck at Level 30. This was the reason why Lan He felt uneasy.
Especially just now.
Lan He received a message from a guild preparing to run a dungeon in Desolate Land. They said that they had seen Lord Grim's group. There seemed to be a new character in their group called One Inch Ash. He was a Ghostblade, but didn't have a guild title. Whether he was in a guild or not was unknown.
One Inch Ash? Who was this? Lan He looked at their guild list and saw the Blade Master, Flowing Tree, who hadn't logged on since last time. He was bewildered.
At this moment, in Desolate Land, the newly joined Qiao Yifan was using his One Inch Ash to listen to Ye Xiu's arrangements, perfectly coordinating with the four of them.
"Mm, just like that. Pay attention to the rhythm of our attacks. Don't waste any of the opening time. Control the cooldowns of your skills to maximize our efficiency." Ye Xiu continuously instructed. Teaching this kid with a foundation was much easier. He wasn't like Tang Rou and Baozi. These two rookies had to memorize the dungeon strategy, so if they wanted to completely grasp it, they weren't even as good as Full Moon Guild's guild leader.
Tang Rou and Baozi's mechanics were enough, but they had to memorize the strategy and be aware of it.
As for Full Moon Guild's guild leader, he was familiar with the game. He understood what Ye Xiu was saying, but his mechanics couldn't keep up. He had to practice.
As for Qiao Yifan, he had both of their strengths. Ye Xiu understood with a hint, and his mechanics could keep up easily. That was why Ye Xiu was certain that one time was enough. The quality of a pro player wasn't something normal people could compare to.
"You don't need to use Afterimage. Instead of using it, you should use two more slashes to provide damage. It won't let the aggro go to you. You won't be able to take any attacks," Ye Xiu said.
Afterimage was a Ghost God that Ghostblades could summon at Level 25. This Ghost Boundary could be carried around, but it was just an armor formed by a ring of Ghost Shadows that surrounded the character. This armor was like a shield. It could absorb and negate damage for a duration of one minute. The higher the level, the more damage it negated, and the more damage it could negate. It was a purely defensive skill. At this moment, Ye Xiu told Qiao Yifan to give up on using this skill. The others would take care of the defense for him.
This kind of detail moved Qiao Yifan once again. He was used to being cannon fodder, but now, the team was taking the initiative to share their energy and provide him with protection.
"Oh, this Ice Boundary …"
"Is there a problem?" Qiao Yifan was terrified.
"No, no, you used it very well. Just in time." Ye Xiu turned to Baozi. "Baozi, it was your mistake this time!"
"It's mine, it's mine," Baozi replied.
Originally, the Ice Boundary shouldn't have been used at this time, but because of Baozi's mistake, the situation had changed. Qiao Yifan had made an adjustment and used the Ice Boundary at this time. It immediately had the effect of controlling the field and reducing the pressure on the team.
Ice Boundary was a Ghostblade's Level 30 Ghost God Ice Soul. The barrier of the Ice Soul Protection could cause ice attribute magic damage to enemies that entered, and had a chance to completely freeze the target. It was an offensive Ghost Boundary.
"However, you actually have a better choice here," Ye Xiu said to Qiao Yifan after criticizing Baozi's mistake.
