Hu Die Lan
Chapter 560 Competitive Output
Crushingly powerful equipment from the mere Bone Dragon Abyss was nothing that Cuitou would take seriously. But now, this Invincible Super Handsome actually thought that he wanted to compete with him? Cuitou immediately felt slighted again.
"What? You don't want it? If you don't want it, who will?" Ye Xiu asked.
Xin Lu was truly worried! Was this guy really ignorant of the rules, or was he pretending to be confused? She couldn't say it openly, but she sent Invincible Super Handsome a private message: "Told you to slack off! Now the first piece of equipment that drops is for you, but how can I possibly give it to you?"
"Oh. It's fine, I'm just using it temporarily. I'll return it after we leave the dungeon. I'm a MT, what would I do with this output equipment? But isn't this just temporarily standing in as DPS?" Ye Xiu replied.
Xin Lu never expected such an answer, and she paused, stunned. When this equipment was given to anyone, the team channel would display system information, so she had to say something. Xin Lu then said that she would temporarily let Invincible Super Handsome use the equipment. After speaking, she distributed the Dragon Guard Slash to Invincible Super Handsome.
*Shua!*
After receiving the Dragon Guard Axe, Ye Xiu immediately took off the knight's sword and shield. The Dragon Guard Axe was a two-handed weapon, so he couldn't equip a shield while using it.
The Dragon Guard Axe wasn't particularly unique in design, but its size was quite large. The two blood grooves on the left and right sides of the axe blade were especially eye-catching. When held in Invincible Super Handsome's hands, it looked quite imposing. The other players cast envious glances, but Cuitou glanced at it before disdainfully continuing to aggro the small monsters ahead.
The dungeon battle continued. Invincible Super Handsome, with the Dragon Guard Axe in hand, finally stopped slacking off and ferociously charged to the front lines.
The support, Xin Lu, also frequently turned her gaze towards Invincible Super Handsome, and finally clearly saw that this guy's actions really didn't need her command at all, and he coordinated very well with the team. Opening the output list to take another look, Xin Lu was shocked.
Although Invincible Super Handsome was still in ninth place, the second to last, his output data had already increased by a large margin. Before, he was only one-third of the eighth-place player's output, but now, he had risen to two-thirds. And in the meantime, they had only killed the first Boss and cleared three waves of small monsters.
Three waves of small monsters. Although Invincible Super Handsome had changed weapons, it shouldn't have immediately increased his output by so much. So the key was in killing the first Boss. The Boss's health was enough to equal many waves of small monsters.
It was just that at that time, Invincible Super Handsome only had his original equipment, and had no advantages compared to the others. Yet he was able to catch up in the data. Technique! This was undoubtedly output technique. This person's skill seemed to be quite extraordinary!
After Xin Lu noticed this, she paid even more attention to Invincible Super Handsome. Wielding the Dragon Guard Axe, he charged in and out. At this moment, Invincible Super Handsome was already the most eye-catching member of the team. Opening the output list again to continue monitoring, she saw Invincible Super Handsome's data steadily climbing, and the gap between him and the eighth-place player was growing larger and larger.
And as long as he caught up to eighth place, he wouldn't be much different from the others. The seven output players were all about the same level. Although the data varied, the differences were small and no one was obviously superior. And the one ranked first in output was actually Cuitou, the MT. After all, he had an advantage in equipment, and the MT's attack power couldn't be too low. Output itself was a major source of aggro. Relying solely on aggro-generating skills wouldn't be enough to hold aggro steady.
"This person is not simple!"
Xin Lu finally came to this conclusion. It wasn't just her. Other players, those who liked to occasionally check the output list, had also noticed this slacker's sudden rise like an arrow. Although this guy had obtained the weapon from the Bone Dragon Abyss, giving him a slight advantage in equipment, in the end, everyone's equipment was level 70. The difference in data couldn't be heaven and earth. Invincible Super Handsome's speed of output increase clearly wasn't just due to one weapon.
The DPS players were also all fired up. Although Player versus Environment (PvE) was against system NPCs, the competition between players was the most interesting. PvE simply made the competition more indirect compared to Player versus Player (PvP). In Glory terms, PvP was martial combat, while the competition in PvE was literary combat.
At this time, the players in the team were engaging in a literary battle in terms of output, and no one wanted to fall behind. With this upsurge in effort, their combat power reached a new level, and the dungeon's progress sped up. In the blink of an eye, they had pushed to the second Boss of the Bone Dragon Abyss.
After a short rest, Cuitou stepped forward to pull the monster. But the comrade Invincible Super Handsome followed right up again. Cuitou was speechless, but the facts from all the way here proved that Invincible Super Handsome didn't seem to have any intention of causing trouble. And the first Boss battle proved that he could control the aggro well and wouldn't create obstacles for the MT to establish aggro.
Cuitou, with a dark face, didn't say a word this time, and just focused on attacking. But he was still paying attention to Invincible Super Handsome's method, and then discovered that Invincible Super Handsome this time seemed to be slightly different from the last time he faced the Boss.
At this time, the other seven output players were very anxious. Before rushing to this Boss, Invincible Super Handsome had finally completely made up for the one-third of the output he was lacking before. Although he was still in ninth place, he was only a hair's breadth away from the others. Now that they were fighting the Boss, he had already rushed up and started outputting, while they were still standing here doing nothing. Over time, wouldn't their output be surpassed by him?
But the MT hadn't spoken, so they didn't dare to move. This Invincible Super Handsome dared to follow the MT in attacking without exceeding the aggro, but they didn't have that ability. They thought it was probably because this guy was originally an MT, and was also familiar with the knight class, so he had developed such a skilled aggro control technique. Ordinary players would control aggro to some extent, but not as precisely as him.
The seven of them stared blankly, waiting for a long time without hearing Cuitou say anything. They were quite disdainful of this MT. What was he doing, not being able to establish aggro after so long?
Heaven and earth were their witnesses, only five seconds had passed since Cuitou pulled the monster. But the seven of them saw that Invincible Super Handsome had already rushed up to output, and they felt like every second was a year.
Finally, everyone heard Cuitou shout "Everyone, go!" The seven of them, who had long been itching to move, immediately rushed up like wolves and tigers. The brothers who rushed too hard even bumped into Cuitou. It was impossible to cause damage to teammates, but it was possible to squeeze around and create a little displacement.
Cuitou's head was pushed to the side by this bump, and the shield he was holding missed its block. The number two Boss stabbed him in the waist with a sword.
"What are you doing?" Cuitou immediately got angry and shouted loudly.
This ordinary player didn't have the courage to argue with the MT, and quickly said "Sorry," and sheepishly moved two steps away. But then he immediately went to output with renewed vigor. If he didn't output, he would be left behind soon, and it would be too embarrassing.
The group of output players were full of momentum, and the Boss's body was constantly bubbling with blood. With the addition of an overwhelming MT, the Boss battle suddenly seemed to have no difficulty. Soon, the number two Boss fell. But at this time, no one immediately cared about what equipment dropped. Everyone pulled up the output list to take a look.
Damn! In the time it took to kill one Boss, Invincible Super Handsome had completely left them all behind. And compared to the close gap between the seven of them, Invincible Super Handsome, who was ranked second, had clearly opened up a gap with them. And the gap between him and Cuitou, who was far ahead in first place and had the advantage of overwhelming equipment, was also rapidly shrinking.
"Too fierce!"
At this point, everyone couldn't help but be impressed. He started out slacking off, but as soon as he stopped slacking off, his output immediately became vigorous. Plus, he had a weapon advantage. There was no way to compete!
Just then, Xin Lu had already picked up the equipment. When she displayed it in the team information, someone immediately howled.
Wrath Dragon Sword!
A level 70 heavy sword that Berserkers and Swordsmen could use. There happened to be one Berserker and one Swordsman in the team. However, this Swordsman used light attribute damage, and had put all his Sword Weapon Mastery points into light swords. Naturally, he wouldn't choose a heavy sword, and he tearfully withdrew. The Berserker howled and finally received the Wrath Dragon Sword in the envious gazes of everyone.
This Berserker was ranked fourth in output. Now that he had changed weapons, he immediately felt refreshed and felt that he had the strength to compete again. He completely forgot that Invincible Super Handsome was two-thirds behind them before. In the time it took to clear these two Bosses and the small monsters along the way, he had not only completely caught up, but had also surpassed them. Clearly, it couldn't just be the credit of one weapon.
But no matter what, among a group of output players who were originally about the same, if one person had an advantage in equipment, the gap would soon become apparent.
After a few waves of small monsters, this Berserker quickly rushed to third place in output, and had the momentum to compete with Invincible Super Handsome for second place.
The other output players seemed a little dejected. Just then, a player who had gone to pick up the items dropped by the corpses suddenly shouted excitedly: "Captain, come quickly!"
"What's wrong?" Xin Lu hurriedly went over when she heard this, and saw a golden weapon dropped next to the small monster. When she clicked to pick it up, she was also stunned. Blue weapon! The small monster had actually dropped a blue weapon.
In terms of drop rate, small monsters could of course drop good equipment, but the probability was very low. Otherwise, where would the value of the Bosses be reflected? But now, their team had actually experienced an outbreak of luck, and a small monster had dropped a blue weapon. Since it was also from the Bone Dragon Abyss, the quality of the item dropped by the small monster was naturally from this dungeon.
This dagger was quickly distributed to the Assassin player who found it, and another person began to soar on the output list with high spirits. After several waves of small monsters, the two players with new weapons had opened up a gap between themselves and the others in terms of output. But at the same time, they also found that the gap between them and Invincible Super Handsome was still widening. That guy was actually aiming for first place, Cuitou. But Cuitou's equipment was far superior to theirs! He had several pieces of purple equipment. Could his output be surpassed even with such a strong equipment advantage?
