Hu Die Lan
Chapter 122 Liu Hao Offers Help
After finishing the Graveyard of Burial dungeon, Huang Shaotian looked at the Jia Dynasty's record and immediately affirmed, "Yeah, with this strategy, the record should be able to be improved by about 30 seconds."
"However, they could only achieve that record by using your strategy. Isn't this strategy your original creation? How did they learn it?" Huang Shaotian said.
Huang Shaotian is indeed a meticulous person. In the Glory pro scene, he has always been known for his amazing judgment and ability to seize opportunities. Breaking moves is his forte, and picking up scraps is something he often likes to do, a typical opportunist.
This is especially obvious in team battles. He might have a weak presence on the field, as if he had disappeared, or you might feel that his condition is very bad, but as soon as an opportunity appears, he will immediately create a chance to kill. Cold-blooded, ruthless, the true nature of a killer.
If you only look at this technical style, this should be an icy, cool character. But Huang Shaotian doesn't play it very well, because he is still a chatterbox. His combat performance may be unremarkable, but his super-fast hand speed coupled with his talkative habit makes him always the brightest star in the information chat box.
Broadcasting Huang Shaotian's matches is the easiest for the hosts. When they have nothing to say, they can just read this person's screen spamming... I don't know how many experts and masters have pointed out that this person would be even more terrifying if he could get rid of the habit of wasting a lot of time and energy on talkative screen spamming, but his style remains the same. The league even modified a match setting specifically for this person: people who die in team battles are prohibited from sending messages again.
Dead people don't need to do anything anymore, let this person focus on screen spamming... As soon as this regulation came out, the entire league cheered.
At this moment, Huang Shaotian noticed that the appearance of Jia Dynasty's record was very abnormal. It was okay that Tang Rou and Baozi Invasion, who didn't have much judgment, didn't notice it. But even Su Mucheng, who was also at the pro level, didn't realize it. Now, after hearing Huang Shaotian mention it, she thought about it and felt that something was indeed wrong: "Yeah, how did they learn it?"
"That Departing Hate is Liu Hao," Ye Xiu said.
"Ah?" Su Mucheng was stunned.
"What is Departing Hate?" Huang Shaotian asked.
"Who is Liu Hao?" Baozi Invasion asked.
Han Yanrou hid to the side and didn't come over. Tang Rou had already seen that Su Mucheng and Ye Xiu were not ordinary friends, and it seemed that this newcomer, Flowing Tree, was also the same. She didn't quite understand what they were saying, and Tang Rou didn't know if it was convenient to listen, so she politely avoided it.
"Departing Hate learned the strategy from us and then helped Jia Dynasty people set the record on the current leaderboard," Ye Xiu first explained to Baozi Invasion.
"Yo, he's quite eager to learn!" Baozi Invasion praised casually, then clarified the relationship three seconds later: "Damn, this guy is a spy."
"..." Everyone was speechless.
"I want to scold him!!" Baozi Invasion stated.
"Keep a low profile, just whisper," Ye Xiu said.
"Oh... okay!" Baozi Invasion was originally planning to spam the world channel, but after hearing the Great God's instructions, he changed to whisper and sent a bunch of messages to the online Departing Hate, using all the derogatory terms he could think of.
Ye Xiu was explaining to Huang Shaotian, "Liu Hao opened a small account and has been following us to farm this dungeon these past few days."
"You saw it long ago?" Su Mucheng asked.
"Yeah!" Ye Xiu said.
"And you still kept bringing him along?" Su Mucheng asked.
"He's a pro-level expert! Why would I refuse such a helper who offered himself up?" Ye Xiu said.
"How despicable!!" Huang Shaotian said, "You're dragging people here to farm dungeons with you, messing up their condition. Did you watch today's match? That guy was like an idiot. I think he treated the team battle like he was farming the Graveyard of Burial, right? Su, have you guys held a big meeting to criticize him?"
"I didn't drag him. He actively wanted to come along. I just did as he wished," Ye Xiu said.
"And then this kid deliberately held back when farming with you guys, and then formed another team to farm with all his strength. You're very confident! So sure you can surpass his record again?" Huang Shaotian said.
"Isn't that what you're here for?"
"How did you know..." Huang Shaotian stopped halfway through his words.
"Heh, the league schedule was all drafted half a year ago when the season started. How could I not know you'd be coming today?" Ye Xiu said.
"Damn, you planned for me to be your helper early on!!" Huang Shaotian said.
"Actually, whether you come or not isn't the main point. You can come to the game no matter where you are!" Ye Xiu said.
"But..." Su Mucheng hesitated, "On this dungeon, Shaotian and Liu Hao are actually about the same. Although your cooperation can use Aerial Fire to send the Boss into the pit at Zombie Beylife, the time gained here is limited!"
"They were originally about the same, but after Liu Hao helped us set a record once, it's different," Ye Xiu said.
"What's different?"
"We have one more Blood-Sucking Light Sword!" Ye Xiu said.
"Damn, so that's the main reason you were looking for me!" Huang Shaotian was in tears. It turned out that the real intention of looking for him was to unleash the power of that Orange weapon. An Orange weapon means an increase in output, and the effect is amplified throughout the entire dungeon process. In addition, with the cooperation to complete Aerial Fire, it would be a miracle if the record wasn't broken.
"I sympathize with Liu Hao. I don't want to help you anymore," Huang Shaotian was saying when he suddenly received a guild invitation. Huang Shaotian was startled when he saw that it was Blue Brook Guild. He certainly knew that this was the guild that their club supported in the game. How could they suddenly invite him? Could his identity be exposed? But then he saw that the inviter was Lord Grim.
"You see, the record is actually being farmed for you guys. Who else would we look for if not you?" Ye Xiu said.
"Did you expose my identity?"
"Of course not." Ye Xiu just temporarily asked Blue River for an identity to invite someone to join the guild, preparing to pull Huang Shaotian's Flowing Tree in.
"Alright, now we're officially farming the record. Everyone, be serious," Ye Xiu announced.
"Did I just say that I wouldn't help him farm it?" Huang Shaotian asked Su Mucheng.
"Did you say that? I didn't hear it. You must be dizzy!" Su Mucheng said.
"Damn, you two!" Huang Shaotian was helpless.
"Official farm, strive to clear it in one go." Ye Xiu gathered the five of them and entered the dungeon.
During the official farm, although Huang Shaotian continued to chatter all the way, his performance was impeccable. After a third of the dungeon was cleared, Ye Xiu couldn't bear it any longer: "Baozi, didn't you want to sing? Sing!"
"Really? Then I'll sing a song about the constellations for everyone first!!" After Baozi Invasion finished speaking, he immediately raised his voice and sang.
Suddenly, the dungeon was filled with chatter, singing, and the screams of undead creatures being killed, making it more lively than ever before.
"Does it have to be like this?" The two girls couldn't take it anymore.
"If we're going to die, we'll die together," Ye Xiu said calmly.
A booming and lively commotion, an impeccable performance.
Huang Shaotian and Baozi Invasion could be considered freaks in this regard. They could do two things at once without affecting their performance. Even at Zombie Beylife, one sang and the other talked, and they sent Zombie Beylife into the pit in one go.
The final third of the performance continued until the final Boss fell with a bang. The two girls disappeared like the wind, one shouting, "I'm going to get water," and the other shouting, "I'm going to the bathroom," even faster than the system announcement.
System Announcement: Congratulations to Blue Brook Guild players Lord Grim, Su Mucheng, Han Yanrou, Baozi Invasion, and Flowing Tree for breaking the Graveyard of Burial dungeon record, with a time of 16 minutes, 24 seconds, and 67 milliseconds.
An improvement of about 32 seconds. Huang Shaotian's judgment was correct. Jia Dynasty's record was also very close to the limit. It was quite difficult to improve it by another 30 seconds.
"32 seconds... 32 seconds..." Liu Hao, who had been sitting in his seat and hadn't left, didn't even look at the pile of messages sent by Baozi Invasion. He had been staring at the system message, constantly telling himself that their record could not be broken, but he was still waiting here.
He finally waited for it. An improvement of 32 seconds. Liu Hao couldn't imagine how they did it.
Flowing Tree? Who is this again?
Departing Hate was still in the Blue Brook Guild at this time. He quickly searched the guild's list and found Flowing Tree. Level 27, Swordsman.
To be able to surpass their results, this person's level must not be low. However, since this Graveyard of Burial is a completely new strategy, if it is another character like that Han Yanrou or Baozi Invasion, it would require a long period of running and practice. This person joined that night and immediately broke the record. Was it that Ye Qiu had prepared in advance and practiced in secret, or is this another pro-level expert who can quickly master the strategy?
Judging from the time, this should be the second run after 12 o'clock. With their improvement of 32 seconds, even if they made a few mistakes at Zombie Beylife the first time, it would be enough to wipe out Jia Dynasty's record. But the first time didn't, indicating that the first time was slow. They were probing and learning.
To master the strategy after only one try, this kind of quality is definitely a pro player!
Pro player... Swordsman... Thinking about tonight's match... Huang Shaotian.
Liu Hao almost vomited blood!
Would anyone believe it? This Graveyard of Burial dungeon record actually has Ye Qiu and Huang Shaotian. Is this still farming a dungeon? Are you guys playing an All-Star game!!
But even for Huang Shaotian, an improvement of 32 seconds is too much, right? Although he is a super top-tier expert, it's just the Graveyard of Burial. No matter how good he is, there is a limit to his performance, and this limit can be reached by any pro player. Could there be some hidden strategy? It shouldn't be! I didn't see anything else that could be improved!
Liu Hao was absent-minded, feeling frustrated. He left his room to go for a walk, and ran into Su Mucheng in the hallway.
"Hi!" Su Mucheng greeted Liu Hao warmly, which was unprecedented. Su Mucheng had never given a good look to the person who drove away Ye Qiu, not even a bit of perfunctory politeness.
"Thanks for your help!" Su Mucheng said with a smile, and floated away.
Help... What does that mean? What help? What help did I give!! Liu Hao's face turned pale, and his fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles were about to burst.
"You... stop." Liu Hao shouted suddenly.
