“Zhan Yu, give it up!” Hundred Shots advised when he saw Dadarerda’s HP had only dropped by 9%. “Let’s do it one more time. We’ve all experienced it now, surely we’ll last longer!”
Zhang Yang gave a slight smile and said, “Let me try!”
“Try your ass! Do you think you’re God, that you can solo kill a boss?” Prideful Precepts scolded. “I’ll kowtow to you thrice and call you grandfather every single time I see you if you could solo kill it!”
“Hmph! I’m not that blessed to be your grandfather, I don’t want to die of being infuriated by you!” Zhang Yang avoided the boss’ attacks agilely while delivering substantial damage to it. Technically, his damaging power was the highest in the team anyway. If he were to do it alone, it would only prolong the battle duration by 2 to 3 times more.
“Noob tank! Don’t waste any more of our time okay?” Floral Shorts joined in. “Each minute you take to fight it while 9 of us lay here is equivalent to 9 minutes wasted. You can’t possibly compensate us for the time lost!”
“Hey! Don’t assume you represent all of us!” yelled Snowy Death. “I have full confidence in our Guardian. I don’t mind laying here for a while! If you’re afraid of wasting time, you can always resurrect yourself immediately!”
“I also have no problems laying here for a little while more!” Hundred Shots, too, had expressed his support for Zhang Yang.
“Bunch of motherf*ckers!” Kindling Chest Hair could only cuss lowly.
Even though the Pride Quad kept throwing insults, none of them had released their bodies! In ‘God’s Miracle’, if you had released your body before a dungeon raid ended, you would not be able to resurrect to rejoin the dungeon as well and you would also be forgoing your ability to participate in the roll for battle loot.
Whatever had been going on in their minds, even though the Pride Quad had no faith in Zhang Yang’s ability to solo kill the boss, none of them had released their bodies, fearing the possibility of an upset! That said, even if they had released their bodies, they could not reenter the dungeon, so they might as well lay back and watch!
“Ding! Dadarerda used <Lava Pit>. Lasts for 60 seconds!”
….
“Ding! Dadarerda used <Lava Pit>. Lasts for 60 seconds!”
Finally, the field had achieved the maximum number of fire pits. With 60 <Lava Pit> on the field, it was a sight to behold! The field was fully enveloped in bright, fiery light! The pits had covered almost half of the entire landscape in such a huge cave!
“Ding! Dadarerba used <Flamethrower>!”
Dadarerda began to spit fire again.
After <Lava Pit> had reached its maximum number of uses in the field, <Flamethrower> became the biggest threat, forcing the player to move around. The current field filled with lava pits would have been the worst scenario for the players!
Only one-third of Zhang Yang’s athleticism was required to cope with the current situation. This was just a joke for him. If this situation had required his full capabilities, how could he aim to clear Difficult and Hardcore Mode later on?
Dadarerba’s HP dropped consistently, decreasing from 91% to 66% after 3 minutes!
Zhang Yang’s HP had remained a solid 100%, moving at a comfortable pace in his evasion of the boss’ attacks. He then swung his sword, chopping away at the boss’ HP.
“Pro! A real pro!” Everyone stared in disbelief.
Though they had already known of Zhang Yang’s exceptional skills, nobody had any idea how high his standard was! With the scene in front of them then, they clearly understood a pro’s realm!
Solo kill a boss!
This dude could totally solo kill a boss!
No! Not only this boss, he could completely raid this entire Normal Mode Bangar Crypt dungeon on his own! The only difference would be that a party would take approximately 1 hour while he would have taken 3 hours!
Was this dude even human?
Flame Emperor immediately searched for a name on his Friend List and sent a private message and said, “Guild Leader, I have something to tell you!”
A reply came back soon after, “Is it important? I’m in the middle of Difficult Mode Bangar Crypt party raid!”
Flame Emperor turned on the recorder and filmed Zhang Yang fighting the boss. He then sent the recording over and said, “Leader, this is of utmost importance! You must see the video I’d just sent you!”
“Haha, you little rascal. You wouldn’t be sending me another porno right?” The other side replied instantly, either he had killed the boss or they were completely wiped out.
“Guild Leader…” Flame Emperor expressed his innocence.
“Eh?” The player on the other end turned on his voice chat, his surprised tone could clearly be heard, “Hey! Quiet for a second, I’m talking to Flame here!” He paused for a moment and asked, “Flame, what’s the man’s IGN?”
“Zhan Yu!” Flame Emperor turned off the party channel and began voice chatting with his leader.
“Extraordinary! He never got hit once. There are so many pits on the ground yet never once did he step on them! Pro, an absolute pro! Even if this was only Normal Mode, it’s still very impressive! When we did it previously, we actually got wiped out twice by this third boss and had only managed to clear it on the third try!” The person on the other end of the line kept quiet for a while and said, “This player, he’s not in a guild?”
“Yeah. Otherwise I wouldn’t have called you!” Flame Emperor replied.
“Try to approach him later, ask him if he’s interested to join our Lost Paradise, I’ll loosen the conditions a little! Hmm, give him an Officer position and a spot in our guild’s first explorers team!”
“Okay, I got it! Oh right! Leader, he told us that he’ll clear Difficult Mode with us later. Would you like to join us?” said Flame Emperor.
“Hmm… I’ve yet to clear the first boss here so I haven’t used any of my entrance counts. Basically, I could still join you guys! Right, isn’t your party full already?”
“There are 4 shitty Pride members here, we’ll kick them out after clearing Normal Mode!”
“That’s good, reserve 4 spots for us from Zhan Yu. I’ll bring Sky and the rest to join you guys! Hold up about recruiting him, let me talk to him personally when I’ve come over!”
“Sure!” Flame Emperor agreed simply.
On the other side, Dadarerda’s HP had dropped to 21% yet Zhang Yang still had his HP untouched! At this point, no one had any doubts, Zhang Yang could totally solo kill the boss!
“15%!”
“10%!”
“7%!”
“4%!”
“3%!”
“2%!”
“1%!”
“Ding! The party you are in has killed Dadarerda! Obtained 42,050 EXP (50 points Party Bonus)!”
Zhang Yang had obtained all the EXP since dead characters could not be awarded with any EXP. This had exponentially increased his EXP bar so much that one could visually witness the surge.
“He did it! He really did it!” The other 9 players mumbled to themselves as if they were dreaming.
“Go resurrect yourselves! I’ll wait for you guys to loot the corpse!” Zhang Yang said grinning.
Prideful Precepts though, had interpreted Zhang Yang’s intention with a crooked point of view and said, “Loot now! We’ll resurrect after equipment distribution. We can just revive at the entrance, no need to run all the way here!”
If drops were looted amidst resurrection, players outside of the dungeon would not be able to roll for the loot.
Zhang Yang smiled and crouched to touch the corpse.
[Heavy Hammer] (Black-Steel, One-handed Hammer)
Magic Attack: 8 – 12
Level Requirement: 5
[Lord’s Hat] (Black-Steel, Leather Armor)
Defense: +2
Vitality: +3
Dexterity: +1
Level Requirement: 5
[Linen Pants] (Black-Steel, Cloth Armor)
Defense: +1
Vitality: +2
Intelligence: +1
Spirit: +1
Level Requirement: 5
The party began rolling and Ocean Despair had managed to get the Heavy Hammer, while Snowy Death had obtained Lord’s Hat, and finally Flame Emperor had gotten Linen Pants. None of the Pride Quad had obtained anything!
This obviously made everyone happy, smiles etched on their faces except the Pride members whose expressions were awful. They then released their bodies and resurrected themselves at the spawn point.
“Hm, we shall challenge Difficult Mode after reviving. If anyone has anything else to do, you can leave!” said Zhang Yang casually. He actually had not much care for Difficult Mode’s equipment but this party’s current equipment was too basic. It would be extremely tough for them in Hardcore Mode if they did not loot some proper equipment from Difficult Mode.
The Pride Quad’s eyes lighted up thinking about Level 10 Black-Steel equipment dropped in Difficult Mode! In comparison, Normal Mode’s drops had been complete trash!
The party was quiet, no one had any indication of leaving.
“Pride members, you guys can leave yourselves!” Zhang Yang said.
“Why do we have to leave?” Kindling Chest Hair immediately shouted. Zhang Yang was obviously a pro player. As long as they followed him around, they would definitely have access to good equipment!
“No reason, I just don’t like your faces!” Zhang Yang kicked them all out without further ado.
“F*ck! Add us back now or else I’ll kill you every time I see you! I’ll make sure to kill you back to Level 0!” Prideful Precepts had sent Zhang Yang a private message instantly.
“Bro, we’ve done you a favor by taking you in back then. You can’t just kick us out like that right?” Floral Shorts tried to guilt trip Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang did not waste any effort talking to them, immediately blacklisting the Pride Quad. From now on, he would not be receiving any more private messages from them.
He opened the Character Search Window and tried searching for “Slim and Handsome” to see if Fatty Han had connected. Coincidentally, the result had shown that his character was online. Zhang Yang hurriedly sent a private message saying, “Fatty Shit, I’m Zhang Yang!” Attached along with the message was a friend request.
Instantly, the request was approved and Fatty Han sent back a reply, “Oh, I’ve just slept for about 2 hours and you’ve already reached Level 10?”
Zhang Yang scoffed and said, “Enough chit chat, go complete the pre-requisite quest for Bangar Crypt dungeon quickly! Big brother here will bring you to raid Difficult Mode!”
“Little Yang, you’d better not forget that you were born 2 months later than your Fatty Big Bro!” Fatty Han refuted and said, “Alright! I’ll go do the quest now!”
“Pro, now that we’re short of 4 players, I have some guild members who would like to join, let me invite them over, is that alright?” Flame Emperor asked in a private message to Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang thought for a while and said, “I have a friend joining, he’s doing the pre-requisite quest now so you can only invite 3 players!”
“Sure!” Flame Emperor gladly replied.
Zhang Yang passed over the Party Leader position to Flame Emperor and without much delay, he had added 3 players into the party.
“Ding! Player Crimson Fire has joined the party!”
“Ding! Player Phantom Day has joined the party!”
“Ding! Player Silky Snow has joined the party!”
Flame Emperor had returned the leader position to Zhang Yang right after he had finished adding members with his invitations.
“Hi everyone!” Crimson Fire greeted with a smile as soon as he had entered party.
Zhang Yang was still exiting the dungeon when he said, “Those releasing their bodies would resurrect themselves at the entrance. Right, Crimson Fire, where are you guys? How soon can you be here?”
“We’re in a dungeon raid now. After we leave the original party, we’ll be sent to the entrance automatically, much faster than all of you!” said Crimson Fire with a smile.
Zhang Yang nodded and sent a message to Fatty Han, “Hurry up or you’ll miss the first boss!”
“F*ck, your fatty bro is on his way, wait for me!” Fatty Han replied immediately.
Zhang Yang smiled, of course he would have waited for Fatty Han before starting the boss fight. He as a human being would always have a little selfishness.
Very soon, the dead characters had resurrected at the dungeon entrance while Zhang Yang had also exited the dungeon, and all 9 of them gathered.
“Wow, we even have a beautiful lady!” Among the 9 players, 8 were male and Silky Snow was the only female player. This was a norm in any game, where the male player population would always be much higher than that of the female player population. ‘God’s Miracle’ had only attracted a large number of female players after a few months due to its realistic game interface.
Silky Snow had selected elf as her race, wearing a milky white long dress and a golden floral headpiece. She had a slender body, waist slim and long legs with round perky breasts. Her almond-shaped face oozed a mature seductive aura, and while it was not peerless, she was outstanding and would definitely make heads turn.
Silky Snow, Female Elf, Priest, Lost Paradise, Level 10.
Crimson Fire, Male Dwarf, Bandit, Lost Paradise, Level 10.
Phantom Day, Male Orc, Berserker, Lost Paradise, Level 10.
These 3 people had the ‘Lost Paradise’ guild tag above their heads just like Flame Emperor. Before this, it was the Pride Quad; and now, it was the Lost Paradise Quad. Once bitten, twice shy; the other 4 party members inspected the Lost Paradise members with a cautious gaze.
Zhang Yang set the dungeon difficulty to Difficult Mode and said, “Let’s go!” His eyes scanned around and saw that the Pride Quad had revived, looking at him and the party with eyes filled with vengeance.
“Ding! You have entered Bangar Crypt (Difficult Mode)!”
“Why are we still short of one player?” Phantom Day asked frowning.
“He’s still doing the pre-requisite quest. He will arrive soon though. It’s fine, we can go ahead!” Zhang Yang replied. The number of monsters had remained the same in Difficult Mode but their HP and attack damage would have increased exponentially.
[Gnome Soldier] (Elite)
Level: 10
HP: 7,500
Their HP had increased by 50% compared to Normal Mode!
Zhang Yang marked one of the monsters and said, “Focus your attack on the marked monster later. We’ll take them out one by one!”
Phantom Day had once again voiced his opinion, “Can you hold so many monsters just by yourself? Should we get a Defender first then swap your friend in after we’ve got to the first boss?”
Zhang Yang smiled and said, “It’s fine, I should be able to hold it!”
Phantom Day kept quiet after that. They had known before they came that this trip was to observe Zhang Yang’s capabilities and then decide what conditions to offer him in recruiting him to the guild’s first explorers team. That way why even if Phantom Day had not believed that Zhang Yang could pull 6 monsters, he remained quiet.
Zhang Yang moved forward wielding his sword. Before he could start the fight, his body suddenly flashed with a white light and a translucent shield appeared!
“Ding! Player Silky Snow has casted <Holy Shield> on you! 80 damage points will be absorbed. Lasts for 30 seconds!”
<Holy Shield> was a skill exclusive to Priests. It was very practical but it could only be obtained from skill books looted from monsters’ drops. Seeing that Silky Snow was able to attain this skill, it would seem that Lost Paradise should have some capable players in their guild!
Zhang Yang had thought about it as he picked a monster and did a <Charge>.
“-64!”
11 Rage was generated from the normal attack and 10 more Rage had come from <Charge>, raising Zhang Yang’s Rage to 21 at once.
“-146!”
“-152!”
“-304!”
“-149!”
“-144!”
“-153!”
6 damage texts popped up at the same time from using <Horizontal Sweep>, one of them had even been a critical strike, a pleasing sight to those watching.
“F*ck you, what devastating damage!” Phantom Day yelled. While he was slashing monsters, he asked, “Zhan Yu, what skill of yours is that? How could it be so powerful?”
Zhang Yang continued pulling aggro while posting the skill <Horizontal Sweep>.
“What the f*ck, how could such a godly skill exist?! 200% melee attack damage and it’s even an AOE! This is wicked! Big brother Zhan Yu, where did you get this skill book from?” Phantom Day had admired the power of <Horizontal Sweep> so much that he had even addressed him as big brother.
Zhang Yang smiled and said, “I coincidentally completed a Hidden Quest. This was the reward!”
After hearing that, disappointment greeted Phantom Day.
If the skill book was dropped by a monster, there would be a chance to obtain it no matter how rare it was! A Hidden Quest’s rewards though, could only be unique! There could only be one in existence!
Zhang Yang used <Block> and reflected a significant amount of damage to all monsters. 8 seconds later, <Horizontal Sweep>’s cooldown time had ended so he gave the monsters another blow, bringing about another 6 horrifying damage texts. He then said, “Berserkers can learn <Tornado Cleave> at Level 20, it’s also an AoE attack!”
[Tornado Cleave]: Waves the weapon in your hands like a tornado. Causes 80% melee damage to surrounding targets. Cost: 20 Rage. Cooldown time: 10 Seconds. Requirement: Melee Weapon.
It seemed like a power-shrunk version of <Horizontal Sweep> but a Berserker could wield two one-handed weapons or a two-handed weapon. Its 80% melee damage would not have been any worse than a Guardian’s <Horizontal Sweep>, of course, provided that both of their equipment were on the same level.
Phantom Day sighed and said, “But I’ll have to wait till Level 20! And the damage is much lower than <Horizontal Sweep>!”
Before Level 20, no other class would have any AoE skills other than the Defender. Even Zhang Yang had only obtained one because of a Hidden Quest!
While the two of them were talking, the Gnome Soldiers fell one by one. Although these monsters’ HP and attack were a lot higher than those in Normal Mode, it was still useless if they could not even land a hit! A higher HP had only meant that they took a longer time to kill them!
Few minutes later and 6 monsters had fallen.
“Zhan Yu, would you like to join our Lost Paradise?” Crimson Fire sent an invitation to Zhan Yu and said, “Our guild is sponsored by ‘Dragon Century Corporation’. Every core member will have a fixed salary! If you join us, I can offer you an officer position and a spot in our first explorers team. The monthly salary will not be any lower than 10 thousand!”
A typical white-collar would have a salary of around 10 thousand each month. What Crimson Fire had offered was indeed not bad!
If it had been in his previous life, Zhang Yang who had just entered the game would have succumbed to this temptation and agreed immediately. However, a mere 10 thousand could not strike his interest any longer! Zhang Yang smiled and said, “Currently, I do not have any intentions to join any guild!”
“What a pity!” Crimson Fire said regretfully. He then turned his head and gave a look to Silky Snow.
The vixen subtly nodded her head and began to chat with Zhang Yang.
The beauty trap?
Zhang Yang shook his head with indifference. In his previous life, he would probably have been blinded by beauty. He was currently living a second life though, and that made Zhang Yang much more resiliently firm and steady. He regarded Silky Snow’s advances with impartiality while leading the party forward.
“Little Yang, add me into the party, I’ve completed the pre-requisite quest!” A message had finally come from Fatty Han after the party had cleared their second last wave of minions.
Zhang Yang immediately sent a party invitation and an elf hunter called ‘Slim and Handsome’ appeared in the party list.
“Hurry up and come over or I’ll start the boss without you!” Zhang Yang said in the party channel.
“Don’t! Wait for me!” Fatty Han cried.
Some 7 or 8 minutes later, a jumbo-sized elf came running from the back, by his side was a black wolf.
According to the official introduction, elves were all tall and slim but ‘Slim and Handsome’ had completely destroyed the image of the noble and elegant elves. His bucket-shaped waist was already frightening to look at.
“I’m not late right?” Fatty Han scanned the party and his eyes shone when he saw Silky Snow. He ran over to her in his glorious jiggling ass and said, “Hi beautiful! I’m Slim and Handsome, the greatest hunter in the future, the one and only!”
Zhang Yang took the King Panther’s Armlet he had obtained from slaying the Black Panther King and handed it to Fatty Han. Fatty Han took it naturally without faking courtesy. Giving him a smile, he equipped himself with the armlet.
Zhang Yang said, “Alright, it’s the boss battle soon. Quiet down, I’ll explain the strategy!”
“The boss still only has 2 skills. <Death Stare>’s effect remains unchanged but <Venom Spit>’s damage has increased by 50%, and every hit could deal 300 damage. Those who have less than 300 HP would definitely be killed within seconds! Silky Snow, please make sure you cast <Holy Shield> on everyone who has less than 300 HP in order to prevent member reduction!”
In the party, a total of 4 people had less than 300 HP – Crimson Fire, Phantom Day, Fatty Han and Hundred Shots. It would seem like they have distributed their AP on damage instead of their HP.
Of course, Fatty Han’s AP distribution was completely influenced by Zhang Yang. It would be meaningless if he had high HP since he would have a pet in the frontlines after Level 5 anyway.
“Is one tank really enough?” Crimson Fire expressed his worry and said, “The party I’ve led before had been wiped out for 7 or 8 times by this boss. It was all because the tank had accumulated too many stacks of <Death Stare> and was then killed instantly by the boss!”
“There’s no need to worry, our pro brother here had accumulated over 10 stacks of <Death Stare> in Normal Mode but the boss couldn’t even touch him!” Snowy Death praised earnestly, he had long since became a fan of Zhang Yang.
Crimson Fire still had his doubts but said, “Let’s try it out then!” He had kept another sentence unsaid, “The boss’ attack speed in Difficult Mode is much faster than in Normal Mode! Even if Zhang Yang could evade its attack in Normal Mode, that did not mean that he could do the same in Difficult Mode!”
“Let’s start!” Zhang Yang took a deep breath and went to the boss wielding his sword.
“<Charge>!”
“-57!”
“-141!”
Zhang Yang chained <Horizontal Sweep> after a normal attack, causing a huge amount of damage in a short time.
“Begin the attack!”
