The night passed. Zhang Yang woke up early in the morning and finished his training. He bought breakfast and logged onto the official forums, reading the battle reports as he ate.
Fatty Han, under the username "Slim Pretty Man", posted a screenshot of yesterday's four BOSSes in the battle report section. Then, he pointed his sword at the fifth BOSS, Woolf, and boasted that Desert Dust would be able to get the First Clear in at most two days!
This domineering declaration made some players call him arrogant, but it made the blood of even more Desert Dust supporters boil. One by one, they expressed their support and encouragement. Many Desert Dust fans directly declared war on the players who had belittled Desert Dust a few days ago: See, this is the Desert Dust we support. He easily took down four bosses in the castle area in one night!
This result was a resounding slap to the faces of those who doubted Desert Dust's ability. Even the person who predicted Emperor Mars' return immediately updated his battle report, praising Zhang Yang's team to the heavens. He said that they had a strong foundation, and even though they started later, they were unstoppable and terrifyingly strong!
In comparison, although Overwhelming Sword's Emperor Sky's guild also had a 45% progress, they had spent as long as five days exploring the dungeon! Currently, both teams were standing in front of the final boss. According to the rules of the dungeon, the final boss would definitely be the most difficult, so even though Desert Dust had started a day later than Emperor Sky, he had a higher chance of winning!
Because a simple boss might only take two days to clear, so Emperor Sky had a one day lead and could instantly take down Woolf's first kill! But the harder the boss, the more difficult it was. It might take four or five days, or even seven or eight days, so a one day lead wouldn't be as important!
After Emperor Mars praised Desert Dust, he sighed and said that the competition for the first clear this time was more suspenseful than the previous few times. The plot was full of ups and downs, and the ending was unpredictable. It was full of intense competition! It was far more interesting than the previous battles where Desert Dust's team ended as soon as they appeared!
Because of this, he warmly praised Overwhelming Sword and Emperor Sky, encouraging them to continue working hard. Even if they lost to Desert Dust this time and didn't get the First Clear, the players of the China server saw a strong team that could compete with Desert Dust!
After Returning from Mars' post was posted, it immediately caused an intense debate among the players. Some supported Emperor Sky, while others supported Desert Dust. In any case, they were divided into two factions, fighting a war of words.
Zhang Yang couldn't help but smile. This was probably the so-called deep love! No matter which side won, it had nothing to do with the players. However, everyone had their own preferences. Just like the Olympics, which citizen did not want their country to win a few more gold medals?
After calming himself down, Zhang Yang went online again. Today, only he, Fatty Han, and Han Yingxue were online. Wei Yan'er had to go to school, while the other four had to work.
Beep! His voice communicator suddenly rang. It was a call request from Shui Xiu. It was a beautiful Cleric from Furious Beauties, a core member. Last time when Zhang Yang helped them defeat Charvo, this fierce and passionate older sister had forced Zhang Yang to add her as a friend.
"Commander Battler, I've been waiting so long for you. You have to take responsibility!" As soon as the call went through, Shui Xiu's sweet and sweet voice came over.
Zhang Yang's face turned cold. "Sister Shui Xiu, don't be so ambiguous. There's nothing between us! Tell me, why are you looking for me? "
"Ai, you're so fickle. You have a new person and you forget the old!"
Zhang Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Big sis, when have you ever been one of my people?"
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore!" Shui Xiu's tone changed. "I'm here on Sister Snow's orders to ask you for the strategy to clear the third and fourth Boss in the Castle Area!"
Teasing you? Zhang Yang said, "Why didn't she ask me for it herself?" Even though they could test out the Boss's skills in Normal and Hard Mode, because the Boss's damage was different in different modes, they couldn't use the same strategy. Without a doubt, asking for the strategy from a party that had passed Death Mode was the easiest way.
Shui Xiu giggled. "Sister Snow is thin-skinned. She can't ask for help like this! Don't be so stingy. You've already passed the Boss anyway. What's there to be afraid of if you give us some guidance? We can't snatch the First Clear from you! "
Zhang Yang thought about it and said, "Okay, I can give you the strategy. One Boss for 100,000 gold. Cheap and fair!"
"Sob sob sob, Commander Battler, isn't this price too high? 100,000 gold … Wouldn't two Bosses cost 800,000? Fine, I'll sell myself to you! "
"I only want money, not me!"
"Don't be like that. I'm as pretty as a flower. I can cook and clean for you in the day and warm your bed at night. Where else can you find such a soft girl?" Shui Xiu spared no effort in promoting herself.
Sure enough, this woman was bold and shrewd. If you bicker with her, those who were thin-skinned would immediately kneel!
Zhang Yang laughed. "If I bring you in … I'm afraid my wife will make me kneel on a washboard every day!"
"What's there to be afraid of? At most, I'll be your mistress! Don't you men just want to have a colorful flag outside and a red flag at home? "
"… Are you here for the Boss strategy, or are you here to promote yourself?"
"Eh, it's all your fault. You made me forget what I came here for!" Shui Xiu did not have any self-awareness. She confidently pushed all the blame onto Zhang Yang. "I say, we're allies, right? Shouldn't allies help each other? Why talk about money? That hurts our relationship! At most, I'll sell some of Sister Snow's privacy to you! "
"Forget it, I'm not worthy of your Sister Snow. Turn on the recording, I'll talk about the strategy for the two Bosses!"
“OHYEAH！” Shui Xiu's cheers came from the other end. "Since you're so generous, I've decided to return the favor. Our Sister Snow is currently divorced and has no children. She's lonely. If you want to take advantage of this, you'll have to hurry!"
"Right, don't tell Sister Snow that I told you. That's it, bye!" Shui Xiu hung up.
Zhang Yang didn't mind giving the strategy to Angry Beauty. Just like Shui Xiu said, they couldn't threaten his team to get the First Clear. Since the two were allies, they should help each other. He would start with Desert Dust.
But, could this dungeon strategy really be sold for some money? Zhang Yang was a bit tempted.
Since he had nothing to do, Zhang Yang went to the first floor of Centaur Palace with Han Yingxue and Fatty to grind and level.
Even though the three of them were a bit slow at killing monsters, the less people, the more experience they got! Other players would need around five days to level up, but Zhang Yang and the others spent the whole day grinding. Shua shua shua shua, their bodies glowed with golden light. They all leveled up!
Zhang Yang was Level 42, while Fatty Han and Han Yingxue were Level 43!
Currently, among the top 20 players in White Jade City, the highest was Level 44, while the lowest was Level 42. Zhang Yang had just reached Level 42, so he couldn't get on the leaderboards. However, Fatty Han and Han Yingxue met the requirements and were ranked eighth and tenth respectively.
Fatty Han was instantly overjoyed. He was prepared to climb to first place in White Jade City and challenge the top of the China server, but Zhang Yang pulled him back to the main city — it was already 6: 30 in the evening. After dinner, they would be clearing Woolf.
Before going online, Zhang Yang went to the official forums to take a look and unexpectedly found a challenge from Emperor Sky!
This post was posted by a high-ranking official from Emperor Sky. His identity had already been verified by the officials, and he was using his in-game "real name", One Sword Splits the Mountain. He was representing Emperor Sky to challenge Desert Dust to see who could take down Woolf first and obtain the First Clear of the Castle Area!
One Sword Splits the Mountain also confidently put up a voting option, allowing players to choose who they supported.
The discussion on the forums about who was stronger, Desert Dust or Emperor Sky, was already extremely heated. One Sword Splits the Mountain challenge instantly pushed the players' passion to the peak! Countless people replied and voted on who they supported.
Currently, Desert Dust had the absolute advantage in support, reaching 57%.
Zhang Yang laughed coldly. It didn't matter if Emperor Sky won or lost this time. They had already used Desert Dust to gain enough popularity! If they lost, it was nothing. They were strong to begin with, and Desert Dust had taken the First Clear of the previous dungeons. What was so strange about losing?
If they won? If they won, that would be even better. They would step on Desert Dust's corpse and ascend to the throne of the strongest dungeon team in the China server!
But the momentum had already been set. No matter what Zhang Yang did, Emperor Sky had already successfully created an image of themselves as being able to wrestle with Desert Dust. They had already borrowed this momentum!
Since it was like this! Zhang Yang registered his in-game name on the forums and opened a new post, writing only one word: "Fight!"
Luckily, the official forums didn't have a rule that required 15 words to post. This simple yet domineering post was instantly pinned to the top by the forum administrator. In a short few minutes, it attracted tens of thousands of clicks and thousands of replies!
"Battlemaster's" fans couldn't contain their excitement and cheered Zhang Yang on in his post, completely exploding the forums.
At 7: 30 PM, the original team from yesterday was assembled and everyone once again entered Moon Shadow Castle: Castle District.
On the way to the boss room, Zhang Yang told everyone about Emperor Sky's invitation. Han Yingxue and the others were filled with fighting spirit and killing intent as they continued to practice their positioning. Zhang Yang and Infinite Starlight, on the other hand, were bored and started chatting.
However, it was hard to have a common topic with a guy whose head was filled with women. Zhang Yang's eyes rolled back from Infinite Starlight's research on female chest and butt measurements. He couldn't take it anymore and started to rub bandages on his wounds.
After another two hours, Han Yingxue and the others were finally almost done. Zhang Yang decided to try it out. No matter how good their practice was, real combat was the best test.
"Hm? Who's stopping me from absorbing power?"
Following the boss's opening remarks, the battle began.
20 seconds later, the crucial rotation of light began.
Han Yingxue and the others quickly retreated behind the hexagram. When the light reappeared, they immediately went to find their positions.
One second, two seconds!
The light was completely blocked and no one made a mistake!
The battle continued. 40 seconds later, the second rotation of light began. Very good, no one made a mistake!
"Good job, everyone keep this up. The first clear will be ours soon!" Zhang Yang cheered everyone on.
"Low health warrior, you make it sound so easy. Why don't you switch over and try?" Wei Yan'er complained.
In reality, Zhang Yang and Infinite Starlight were the most idle. Zhang Yang only had to pull aggro while Infinite Starlight was even more relaxed. His only task was to share the damage!
"Hahaha!" Zhang Yang laughed loudly. "In the past, I was always the only one pulling aggro. Now, it's your turn!"
"I'm so angry!" Wei Yan'er yelled.
60 seconds … 120 seconds … 180 seconds …
The longer the battle, the more pressure everyone was under and the easier it was for them to make mistakes!
On the thirteenth rotation of light, Han Yingxue and the others finally made a mistake. Fatty Han, with the negative effect of "Blue Source", crashed into the red light!
Suddenly, a gigantic wolf head emerged from the void above the boss room, carrying with it an indescribable majesty. With just a sweep of its eyes, "- 1000000" damage numbers popped up, and the party was instantly wiped out!
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust!" The wolf head immediately disappeared into the void.
However, before it disappeared, everyone chose it as their target. They wanted to see where this Wolf God came from.
[Wolf God] (Celestial Leader, Beast)
Level:???
Health Points:???
This time, everyone felt that they could die in peace. One by one, they released their souls to report to the graveyard.
"Yang Zi, Hunters can tame wild beasts. Can you tame this Wolf God?" Fatty Han's eyes lit up. If he could really tame a Celestial boss as a pet, then all he had to do was close the door and release … the wolf.
"Wretched Fatty, dream on. If you really had a Celestial boss as a pet, then other people would not be able to survive." Wei Yan'er stuck her tongue out at Fatty Han.
Zhang Yang thought for a moment and said, "In theory, as long as it is a wild beast, Hunters can capture it as a pet! But Fatty, what are the requirements for taming a pet? "
"It must be the taming target's number one aggro. Moreover, it must be a 30 second Taming Spell. If it is attacked during this time, the Taming Spell will immediately be interrupted. The higher the level of the taming target, the lower the success rate of taming. "Fatty Han immediately flipped through the Taming Pet skill and said.
Zhang Yang laughed and said, "Do you have a way to become the Celestial boss's number one aggro and survive for 30 seconds?"
"I don't think so!"
"Moreover, even if you successfully tame a Celestial boss as a pet, it will be reduced by a lot in the hands of other players! It's like taming an Elite beast as a pet, but will the pet's health points and attack power be the same as before? "
"No!" Fatty Han became even more honest. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
