Seven Fields and the others held their breaths afraid of disturbing Stolord's battle. At the same time, the three also took precautions, ready to listen to an order and begin attacking. Unexpectedly, they waited left and right watching Stolord and the Skeleton Warrior fight surrounded by perils. But there was no call for them to help. Seven Fields and the others, one on the left, one on the right, and one right behind the Skeleton Warrior, all steadily stopped the Skeleton Warrior's shock wave attack from time to time.
"He's not planning on soloing it is he?" Sunset Clouds sent Seven Fields a message.
"Honestly, I'm also having my doubts." Seven Fields said.
"Soloing a hidden BOSS?" These few words that Sunset Clouds typed made them all feel horrified.
"It's not like it's impossible...." Seven Fields said.
"Brother expert, you're too good. Where did you come from? With this skill, I don't even think our guild leader can match you." Sunset Clouds said.
"Definitely not a match." Seven Fields concluded. The pitiful Full Moon Guild leader became the leader because everyone worshipped his 200 APM hand speed. In the end, only a day had passed since the start of the tenth server, but he already had three traitors in his ranks. To the boss, this was already disdainful beneath contempt.
At this moment, Drifting Water also sent a message: "I don't think he'll solo it, right?" The voice system in the game only had a single channel so voice messages couldn't be sent privately. The three relied on voice communication. Because they stood at a distance, they would have to speak a bit louder. As a result, they were afraid to disturb brother expert's fight with the monster, so they all sent private messages.
"It's possible." Seven Fields and Sunset Clouds both replied to Drifting Water's message.
"Too amazing. Should we record it?" Drifting Waters asked. The game had a built-in video recording function.
"Brother expert didn't talk about this. I say we shouldn't!" Seven Fields said.
"Okay." Drifting Waters answered. Without saying another word, the three continued to watch Stolord fight. He truly did wield the battle lance with matchless skill. Dodging, sidestepping, it seemed as if he were fighting in a wuxia film. Seven Field and the others had their eyes opened to a new world. Compared to this, normal players fighting monsters or PKing was the same as sticking their chests out and comparing specs. Rough, too rough!
Chen Guo stood behind Ye Xiu and tried her hardest counting how many hits he made. Her spectator perspective of the game couldn't compare to Seven Fields and the others because she was the same as Ye Xiu, she saw Stolord in a first person perspective. Looking at it this way, she couldn't see a lot of Stolord's movements. On the contrary, because Stolord's line of sight kept continuously spinning, Chen Guo nearly fell down from dizziness. She couldn't keep up with that lightning fast whirling at all. Often, with a sudden turn, she could no longer figure out what direction his character faced and even more so, where the Skeleton Warrior was. Buckle? She could barely even tell where the Skeleton Warrior was most of the time to say nothing of the buckle.
But while watching his complete mess of a screen, Ye Xiu's hand movements were still crystal clear. The dizzy Chen Guo looked towards the movements done by Ye Xiu's two hands. She discovered that Ye Xiu's left hand clearly jumped about faster than yesterday. His right hand holding the mouse moved even faster, but didn't move much. Oftentimes, after a movement, he would immediately left click or right click.
Chen Guo was extremely amazed. She knew that a left click was a normal attack, a right click was a skill attack, and that the cursor pointed to the direction and position of the attack. Ye Xiu's movements and clicks were direct and efficient without the slightest sloppiness. She discovered that no matter how fast the screen spun, the mouse always moved to the right position and sent out an attack without the slightest shake.
Ye Xiu's right hand wasn't only quick, but also steady, exceptionally steady.
"Professional level really is different." Chen Guo exclaimed in admiration. And at this moment, the headphones on Ye Xiu's neck sent out another "peng" sound. Chen Guo heard it clearly. She could only rely on this faint sound to count. Twenty, this was already the twentieth hit on the buckle. But Stolord's life? In this entire process, he hadn't taken a single point of damage, which meant that the Skeleton Warrior hadn't hit him once.
"Sunset Clouds, Collapsing Mountain!" Ye Xiu lowered his head and yelled into his headphones.
"Is it finally our turn?" Sunset Clouds originally thought the three of them weren't needed. But hearing Ye Xiu's yell, without saying anything further, he raised his sword and rushed up. Right then, Stolord executed a Sky Strike and knocked the Skeleton Warrior up towards his direction. Sunset Clouds held up his sword and used Collapsing Mountain striking the Skeleton Warrior down from the air to the ground. He comboed it 8 times, the limit for Collapsing Mountain.
"Guard!" Ye Xiu still reminded Sunset Clouds, but Sunset Clouds already had this thought. Ye Xiu hadn't yet finished his interjection when Sunset Clouds took up a guard position. The Skeleton Warrior rose up and the shock wave ripple hit his sword. With a "dong", Sunset Clouds was pushed back. Sunset Cloud's Guard was already Level 4, able to reduce incoming damage by 70%. This shock wave attack also wasn't a major maneuver, so the reduced 30% damage didn't do much.
Ye Xiu's Stolord jumped to avoid the attack and then immediately countered with a Dragon Tooth, stunning the Skeleton Warrior. Sunset Clouds understood tacitly and without a reminder, already prepared to use his Stun skill.
"Seven Fields, Drifting Water." Ye Xiu shouted. The two had already rushed forward and quickly understood his tactic. The also prepared to use their Stun skills at any time.
"What happened?" Chen Guo didn't understand why Ye Xiu suddenly needed their help.
"Did you not see?" Ye Xiu asked. He immediately let Stolord lower his head to let her look. Chen Guo immediately saw that its Saber quietly lay there next to the Skeleton Warrior's feet. The buckle had unexpectedly already been broken off and dropped.
"How could that be? Wasn't it 24 times?" Chen Guo was flabbergasted. Although the headphones were a bit far from her, she could clearly hear that "peng" sound during his battle with the Skeleton Warrior. Chen Guo didn't think she had made a mistake.
"It was 24 times!" Ye Xiu said.
"How come I only heard 20 times?" Chen Guo said.
"I used Double Stab 4 times. It hits twice and in rapid succession too, so you probably didn't hear it. Adding in these 4 times, doesn't that add to 24?" Ye Xiu said.
Chen Guo was stunned: "Double Stab hit the same spot twice? Then did you make the hidden BOSS bleed? How come I didn't see it? 4 times and it still didn't bleed? Does it not count if it hits the buckle?"
"Skeletons are immune to Bleed, right?" Ye Xiu said.
Chen Guo blushed. Glory had a lot of monsters that were immune to Bleed and skeleton types were one of them. It didn't have any flesh, how could it Bleed? This was the reasoning behind it. This was very basic common sense. Chen Guo, a veteran, had unexpectedly forgot it for a moment.
It's all this guy's fault. With the camera angle spinning around everywhere, I would've overlooked any monster he fought.
Chen Guo angrily sat back in front of her computer. There was still a giant crowd outside of beginner village. Monsters still had to be kill stolen. While troubled, she heard Ye Xiu ask: "Boss, are you preparing to pull an all-nighter?"
"Why?" Chen Guo asked in reply.
"If you're going to play all-night, then you stay here, I'm going to the smoking area." Ye Xiu said.
"If you go to the smoking area then are you on duty or am I?" Chen Guo asked angrily.
"Oh, then do you want to switch seats? Didn't you not like the smell of smoke?" Ye Xiu said.
Chen Guo's cheeks streamed with tears. Although she clearly understood that he was trying to take care of her, but what was this feeling of being ignored?
Ye Xiu already held a cigarette box in one hand hinting that it was time for Chen Guo to choose to either take over for Ye Xiu's shift or move elsewhere.
"Forget about it. I won't play. I'm going to sleep." Chen Guo angrily logged out of the game and got up to leave.
Ye Xiu turned around and followed Chen Guo with his eyes. He found by surprise that Chen Guo left her account card on the table and didn't take it. This wasn't being forgetful, but rather Chen Guo thinking the Deme-Cybercafé as her home. It was quite normal to randomly leave things in the home. A thought immediately popped up in Ye Xiu's mind and he hurriedly yelled: "Boss, you didn't take your card. Do you want me to help you level up?"
"Do whatever you want!" Chen Guo spoke without thinking the matter through.
Ye Xiu nodded his head. His hand, approaching a 300 APM speed, quickly lit a cigarette and then put it in his mouth. The Skeleton Warrior's killing continued, but Ye Xiu speaking didn't have any effect on his ability to light up a cigarette. Now, he continued to concentrate on the game, and in a bit, the Skeleton Warrior was killed off. Ye Xiu's Saber was already laying on the ground. He went over and picked it up. He gave up on the rest of the items. Seven Fields and the others also didn't push him. They split up the equipment and randomly put the other materials in their bags. While they did this, Seven Fields said: "Brother expert, we're going to keep the high-grade materials that you didn't want from the other few hidden BOSSes yesterday. Later, when the prices are high, we'll sell them. Right now the server just opened, so all of the swindlers are buying them from newbies at low prices. Later, when the prices are standard again, we'll sell them and then split the money with you."
"I've already taken my share. That stuff is yours." Ye Xiu said.
"More able people should earn more. Brother expert, you're too modest." Seven Fields said.
Ye Xiu laughed and didn't say anything else. The four continued to clear dungeons. Seven Fields asked: "Do we need another person?"
Ye Xiu understood his meaning. He had already gotten what he wanted. Having another person would make their efficiency a bit faster.
"Up to you! But today, I'm only training to 20. Afterwards, I need to help my friend level." Ye Xiu said.
"Okay okay, that's fine. Do you need our help?" Seven Fields said. Actually, they hadn't turned off their headphones when they heard Ye Xiu and Chen Guo talk. Seven Fields vaguely heard quite a bit.
"No need. You guys can do your own things." Ye Xiu said.
"Okay." Seven Fields and the others didn't say anymore. They had known Ye Xiu for a day. Although people established relationships quickly over the Internet, as adults, they all knew proper behavior.
After leaving the dungeon, Seven Fields began shouting in order to add a player. It was too easy to form parties in the new server. A string of requests came and in the end, Seven Fields picked a Level 17 female player.
The female player was called Immersed Jade. After joining the team, she became excited seeing the party list.
Seven Fields, Sunset Clouds, Drifting Water, Stolord, weren't this the party that first cleared Spider Cave and the Spider Emperor? She would never have thought that she would be able to join such an expert team. After connecting to the voice system, she conveyed her excitement to everyone.
Because the voice system in Glory was popular, it put an end to fake gender players. When players moved about together, they would definitely directly used their voices to communicate. What type of female would only type and not talk? If they did, everyone would immediately have their doubts. Of course, if you were male but sounded like a female, this sort of gift couldn't be warded against.
While Seven Fields and the others heard the girl speak, they all accidentally caught up to in front of the girl and met. But Ye Xiu knew that they were trying to get a look at the girl's appearance.
Glory's character model had two kinds, a male and a female one. The details of appearance and build were done through an editor. A self-designed one worked too. A random generated one also worked. If you liked reality, then you could directly take a picture and put your own face into the editor. After providing basic body measurements, the editor could automatically create a character model that looked the same as the original player. As a result, all the male players wanted to know whether a female player's appearance was the same as the person herself. It is said that some experienced wolf-natured players could tell whether a female player was fake or real with just a single glance.
Seven Fields and the others didn't seem to possess this "wolf" attribute. After standing in a circle and observing Immersed Jade, they could only arrive at the conclusion "average". Whether her appearance was fake or real, they didn't know.
But Immersed Jade was awfully energetic and after worshipping the first clear team, she expressed her honor to join their team. Finishing, she once again was amazed that their expert first clear time was still Level 18. Finally, she requested to see if there she still had an opportunity to be a permanent member of their first clear team.
Seven Fields could only regretfully explain that their party still had another brother. He just couldn't come today.
Immersed Jade looked looked utterly lost, but she still didn't give up. Even if she couldn't become a main member, she started to apply to see if she could become a substitute member. Furthermore, she asked about what guild and organization they were from.
This question made it difficult for Seven Fields and the others to answer. It was obvious this stranger worshipped them as experts. They still hadn't entered the dungeon, Immersed Jade too. But after entering the dungeon and playing, experienced players would immediately recognize that the only expert in the party was Stolord. The rest weren't worth mentioning.
Immersed Jade's questions and expectations could only fall onto brother expert's head. Now she asked again what their guild was... Seven Fields and the others had a guild, but now they were under brother expert's godly halo. If they told her their guild's name wouldn't that be the same as slapping their face?
"Oh, let's hurry up and enter!" Seven Fields diverted the subject and took the lead. Sunset Clouds and the others followed closely. After entering the dungeon, naturally, Ye Xiu began directing. Right after he said something, Immersed Jade already asked in bafflement: "Hm, who's talking?"
When she first joined the party, she chattered non-stop with Seven Fields and the others. It was Ye Xiu's first time speaking.
"Stolord, our party's god. All of our first kills were because of him. If we didn't have him, our party wouldn't be worth mentioning." Seven Fields found the opportunity to tell her the truth. After speaking, he immediately relaxed.
"I pay respects to the great god!" Immersed Jade typed out a message and said aloud.
"Ha ha, let's go!" Ye Xiu laughed and began leading the group forward. Commanding, killing, not long after, his expert demeanor had already been revealed. But in front of his presence, Immersed Jade unexpectedly didn't show much excitement.
Seven Fields and the others could see that this girl was a true newb.
"This little sister's ruined." Sunset Clouds secretly said.
"Ugh, her starting point is too high now. She's still a newbie and she's already met such an extreme expert. Later, how is she going to mix in with normal players?" Seven Fields said.
"A tragedy!" Drifting Water sighed with sorrow.
