Chapter 87 Goblin Merchant

At 12 o'clock, most players above level 20 were in dungeons. It was the third day of the new server, and everyone continued their mad leveling spree. As for players below level 20, they couldn't leave the beginner village, so the affairs of the Frost Forest were completely unrelated to them.

When the goblin merchant was discovered, who discovered it first, and how many players discovered it, no one could say for sure. In any case, the Tyrannical Ambition guild had received the news and immediately notified their members. Those not in dungeons rushed over, and those in dungeons sped up their progress. Ye Xiu was naturally notified as well.

"The goblin merchant has spawned! Let's hurry up and finish this so I can head over there." Ye Xiu also directed his team to speed up.

Tian Qi and the others were envious, but they didn't slack off. Under Ye Xiu's powerful command, they made rapid progress and cleared Sias of Frost in 28 minutes. After leaving the dungeon, Ye Xiu contacted Ye Weiyang. They had also cleared their dungeon and were heading towards the goblin merchant's location. Ye Xiu asked for the location and immediately commanded Lord Grim to rush over at full speed. Tian Qi and the others said they wanted to watch the fun, and Ye Xiu didn't stop them.

The dense forest of Frost Forest contained the dungeon, while the more sparse outer areas were the leveling zones. Along the way, Ye Xiu saw many players running in directions similar to Lord Grim. After all, Frost Forest wasn't like Burial Grounds. It had a broader player base, and the desire for wild Bosses wasn't limited to the Big Three guilds. Many guilds actively participated in these activities and achieved remarkable results. After all, the mutual checks and balances between the Big Three guilds always presented an opportunity. Ye Xiu wasn't the only one who knew how to exploit this.

"I see you." Just as he was running, he suddenly received a message. Ye Xiu saw it was Ye Weiyang, and after looking around, he spotted the guy.

Ye Weiyang sent an invitation. Lord Grim had already left Tian Qi's team after exiting the dungeon. Ye Xiu accepted the invitation and joined the team. It was clearly Tyrannical Ambition's first main team, and the captain was none other than their guild leader, Yedu Han Tan.

"Welcome, Lord Grim." Ye Weiyang typed in the team channel, sending an applause emoticon.

A series of players copied the applause. Ye Xiu wasn't polite either, sending back a cupped-fist greeting emoticon.

The two sides met up and communicated directly through voice chat.

"There are a lot of people!" Ye Xiu said.

"Yeah, it's not just the Big Three guilds this time. A lot of people are coming to join in the fun."

"Besides Zhongcaotang and Blue Brook Guild, who else is competitive?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Excellent Dynasty, Samsara, Misty Rain House, Stepping on Emptiness, Hundred Blossoms Valley, Howling Heights, 301…"

"Alright, alright, alright…" Ye Xiu realized that Ye Weiyang was about to go on and on.

"It's just a goblin merchant. There are too many people capable of killing it," Ye Weiyang said.

"With such a complex situation, Lord Grim, what do you think is most important?" Guild Leader Yedu Han Tan asked.

"Aggro," Ye Xiu said pointedly. "Whichever side can maintain stable aggro on the goblin will take the initiative."

"But you have to know, the person who pulls the aggro is essentially pulling the aggro of all the players present," Yedu Han Tan said.

"So there can't be just one person pulling aggro," Ye Xiu said.

"Can't be just one?"

"That's right. Assemble a violent DPS team. The output control must be fully controllable, ensuring that anyone can immediately OT (over-aggro) upon hearing an order!" Ye Xiu said.

"How much do you like violent teams?" Ye Weiyang complained.

"A lot of people will die, right?" Yedu Han Tan said.

"If we make full use of the forest terrain, not many people will necessarily die," Ye Xiu said.

"How exactly?" Yedu Han Tan asked.

"Give me five DPS with level 20 purple weapons or higher. No problem, right?" Ye Xiu said.

"No problem. Everyone in this team has purple weapons," Yedu Han Tan said.

"I have an orange weapon," Ye Weiyang showed off.

"Priest, have some self-respect," Ye Xiu said.

"What classes do you want?" Yedu Han Tan asked.

"All ranged are best," Ye Xiu said.

"I'll call people…" Yedu Han Tan said, clearly his team couldn't have five ranged DPS.

"People will be here soon," Yedu Han Tan said after contacting them.

"Weapon information."

"Wait a moment." Yedu Han Tan went to collect the information and sent it over one by one. The Gunners were completely ranged-focused classes. Besides them, Mages and Spellblades also had some ranged capabilities. The five people Yedu Han Tan had gathered consisted of three Gunners: a Sharpshooter, a Launcher, and a Grenadier; and two others: an Elementalist and a Spellblade, all equipped with suitable purple weapons for their classes. After Ye Xiu scanned them, he asked, "What are their skill levels?"

Yedu Han Tan ran off to ask again, and after a moment, he introduced everyone's skill choices and levels.

"Do they have anything else…"

"Big brother, tell me everything you want to know at once, please!" Yedu Han Tan was in tears. He was the guild leader, yet he was running back and forth like a secretary. Was that appropriate?

"I mainly want to clearly understand the output capabilities of these five people," Ye Xiu said.

"You should have said so earlier. I could have just had them show you their personal panels, couldn't I?" Yedu Han Tan cried.

"Output capability, not output data. What special effects do their weapons have? What additional skills do their equipment have? What's the damage of their skills? Are these things on the personal panels?" Ye Xiu said.

"Big brother, I was wrong…" Yedu Han Tan went off to ask again in tears.

After understanding the equipment, Ye Xiu said, "After understanding all this, is there still a need to look at the panels?"

"Probably not, right?" Yedu Han Tan didn't know if this was a rhetorical question or an actual question, so he asked tentatively.

"Have the five people get into position quickly!" Ye Xiu said.

"You're leading this DPS team, what about us?" Yedu Han Tan asked.

"Our team is pulling aggro. You guys are the DPS…" Ye Xiu said.

Yedu Han Tan burst into tears. He felt like a newbie! What should he do? What should he do?

"Look, goblin merchant!!" Ye Xiu had been gathering information along the way, and the characters hadn't stopped moving. They had finally arrived at their destination. They saw a lively scene in the forest, with players shouting as they tried to capture the goblin merchant.

The goblin merchant was also covered in green cloth, but its face wasn't as cunning as the goblin monsters in the forest or dungeons. It looked rather simple and honest. It carried a huge backpack behind it, and as it ran nimbly through the forest, it would occasionally reach into the backpack, pull out an item, and throw it behind it.

Firecrackers, grenades, burning bottles, bricks, wine bottles…

Anything was possible.

It seemed that the players hadn't discovered the goblin merchant for too long. At least, they hadn't formed an effective encirclement yet. The goblin merchant led the group, muttering in a language that no one understood.

After throwing a burning bottle that ignited a sea of fire, the goblin merchant lightly leaped from a tree stump.

A sword light flashed, cutting through the dim forest. The sword aura stirred up the dead leaves on the ground, scattering them in a line. The goblin merchant in mid-air was accurately struck by this sword and fell to the ground.

Swordsman Skill: Draw Sword.

A person emerged from behind a tree: Lan He.
