Chapitre 23: Chapter 23: PvP
"Boss~ Boss~"
Liu Yuan, who was eating instant noodles at the front desk, heard a very faint call and looked up to see Natsuki Subaru calling him.
"What's up?"
"Boss, do you have any better methods to improve combat experience here?"
"Huh? Aren't these methods enough for you?" Liu Yuan's tone carried some surprise.
Natsuki Subaru was the earliest to come online and the most diligent one. Although the progress in the Elden Ring wasn't particularly fast, except for those demigod bosses, everything else worth exploring had been explored.
But soon, Liu Yuan realized why he was being asked this.
"I understand. You feel that the current bosses can't satisfy you, but at the same time, you're not confident enough to challenge the realism mode, right? It's simple, I'll be your sparring partner."
"Huh?"
Natsuki Subaru was stunned. He had intended to learn how to deal with large numbers of enemies, but he hadn't expected to spar with a real person.
"Don't be shy. Thanks to the fact that there aren't many people here, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to play with you. Fujimaru, do you want to join?"
On the side, Olga Marie asked, "What's going on?"
"We're sparring. You and Subaru will team up against me."
"Ah? Spar with the boss? Of course!"
Fujimaru Kaede, who had even borrowed money from Da Vinci, was now eager to participate in PvP when she heard about it.
PvP in the Elden Ring was quite simple, either invading or drawing symbols. Due to the local area network, Liu Yuan could directly invade the world as a Bloody Finger.
"PvP, boss, are there any rules?"
"Rules? There are no special rules, just be civilized and polite. Otherwise, if you're rude, the offline PvP responsibility lies with this store. Oh, and do we ban the use of hp potions?"
Curiously, Fujimaru Kaede asked, "Is there any difference?"
"Difference? If we don't ban HP potions, a battle might turn into a drinking match, right?"
"Yikes, let's ban them."
Liu Yuan quickly turned on the computer and swiftly entered Elden Ring.
Seeing Liu Yuan suddenly turning on the computer while yawning, Kisara couldn't help but be jealous and asked, "Boss! Didn't you say you couldn't play games during work hours?"
"Nonono~"
Before entering the game, Liu Yuan raised his index finger to veto: "This isn't playing, it's to let the customers have a better gaming experience. Now that I'm accompanying them, they can bring in new customers later."
"Tsk, sophistry."
As just a small network manager, how could she question the boss's words?
However, their conversation attracted Minato and Tina.
"Elden Ring? Can you bring out Resident Evil weapons, then what about this game?"
Both Minato and Tina were curious, and just as everyone gathered around, the PvP began.
Natsuki Subaru and Fujimaru Kaede both went to the Grace in the front gate of Raya Lucaria, so their first PvP match began directly in Raya Lucaria.
Natsuki Subaru chose a shield and a large sword, a combination that allowed him to defeat many bosses and explore many dangerous areas successfully.
Fujimaru Kaede took out a staff and the famous Moonveil, intending to show off her skills to Liu Yuan.
And then?
And then the two of them were severely taught by Liu Yuan.
They indeed had rich combat experience, but Liu Yuan was even more ruthless. Moreover, whenever Liu Yuan played a single-player game, he always played in Realism mode.
Coupled with his understanding of various weapons, he rendered the two unable to fight back at all.
Shield plus mage? Liu Yuan leaped over like Malenia, and they were gone. Then another Tornado like move, and Natsuki Subaru was gone too.
"What skill is this?"
"So cool..."
Liu Yuan introduced, "Malenia's ultimate skill, Waterfowl Dance!"
"Again!"
"Again!"
Natsuki Subaru and Fujimaru Kaede felt the pressure once again.
During this period of time, as they delved deeper into the world, they learned more and more skills, and they became a bit arrogant.
They felt they could defeat any boss, but now, they felt a bit overwhelmed.
The Eleanor's Twin Blades swung up, directly sending the two flying.
Rivers of Blood, Corpse Piler 5 hit move perfectly sent the two away happily.
Lifting the Dark Moon Greatsword given by Ranni, three blue sword blades for one person were delivered.
Dodging? Blocking? Sorry, the little monsters might give you that chance, but Liu Yuan definitely wouldn't give them that chance.
"What are all these?"
"That big sword, so cool..."
Liu Yuan calmly introduced, "The big sword given by my wife, Ranni's Side Quest reward. Come on! Taste my skill, Divine Sword!"
"Flames of Frenzy!"
Three consecutive Madness Incantation sent them away happily, and in each battle, Liu Yuan would choose different methods to fight based on the opponent's preparations.
Combustion, Bloodboon, at first, he was trying various fun methods to send them away, but as time went on, Liu Yuan's battles gradually became plain and straightforward.
"Hoarfrost Stomp! Subaru!"
"Ready, take my Sacred Blade!"
"It worked, watch me... huh?"
Just as Natsuki Subaru's execution was about to hit Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan's game character disappeared.
Liu Yuan calmly turned off the computer: "That's about it, playing more will affect business."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present had big question marks popping up in their heads.
Liu Yuan, on the other hand, said without blushing or breathing heavily, "You guys keep going. It won't be long before you catch up to me!"
After saying that, he ran back to the front desk.
Seeing this scene, Kisara couldn't help but sarcastically say, "Boss, you're really trash. Clearly, you were about to lose, and you resorted to fleeing?"
Liu Yuan shook his head: "No, I'm not someone who can't accept failure. I just pretended to be cool and then left. It's fundamentally different. And did I say I didn't lose?"
"Trash boss."
"I'll deduct your salary."
"Huh, do I even have a salary?"
"Don't call me trash. Later, he'll have to thank me."
At this moment, Kisara suddenly felt her future was bleak. Following such a trash boss, she would also become trash sooner or later.
Natsuki Subaru and Fujimaru Kaede were dumbfounded. They were about to win, but then the person ran away.
Fujimaru Kaede looked at Olga Marie beside her and asked, "We won, right? Right?"
Olga Marie nodded, "According to the situation at that time, if the boss didn't quit the game, you would have won."
On the other side, Tina, holding a fish cake, muttered discontentedly, "Boss, bad!"
However, Minato didn't share Tina's thoughts.
He looked at Natsuki Subaru and asked, "Do you remember why you wanted to fight the boss?"
Natsuki Subaru replied somewhat unhappily, "To improve my experience, but..."
"Well, did your experience improve?"
"I..."
At that moment, Natsuki Subaru remembered something.
Recalling the battles over the past half day, from being ruthlessly beaten by Liu Yuan at the beginning to being cautious later on.
From blindly charging in to countering each move with caution.
Through continuous battles, he almost learned to trust his companions unconditionally.
When Liu Yuan released his skills, Natsuki Subaru charged because he knew Fujimaru Kaede would interrupt his attacks.
Trusting his companions, he chose different methods to deal with enemies based on their different strengths.
When facing magic, he used skills to counter magic or charged directly to interrupt, and when facing melee, one held off the enemy while the other attacked from a distance.
He couldn't be impatient. Although it was an experience he had learned from the first small monsters, he often forgot it when fighting Liu Yuan, only remembering it later.
"I... Thank you, boss!!"
Upon hearing this gratitude, Kisara showed an incredulous expression on her face for the first time.
It was the first time she had seen such a trashy person who could still be thanked.
Liu Yuan lightly tapped her head with his fist, "Because you didn't even know what he wanted. He didn't want victory, nor did he lack experience. He lacked the right mindset."
