Chapter 151 Difficulties and Opportunities

The drop of a hidden dungeon item made Ye Xiu aware of several problems. But to outsiders, he was still that lazy guy. Even after staying up all night, he didn't look tired, just as listless as ever.

Outsiders couldn't tell that this was a guy facing difficulties, let alone know if he had already figured out a solution.

Everything seemed normal.

Tang Rou, of course, knew nothing about what Ye Xiu was deeply contemplating; she only knew that it was her turn to buy breakfast this morning.

When she returned with breakfast, Ye Xiu had already finished the handover with the morning shift staff, set up the dining table, and was leisurely waiting for food with a cigarette in his mouth.

After breakfast, they both went back to their rooms to rest.

They woke up at three in the afternoon. One went to work at the front desk, and the other, with a cigarette in his mouth, searched for an empty computer in the smoking area. Everything seemed no different from usual.

It was Saturday, though, and the internet cafe was unusually busy. There wasn't a single empty seat in the smoking area. Ye Xiu walked around and then stood there blankly for a long time.

"Business is really good today…" Ye Xiu said helplessly when he returned to the front desk, sighing to Tang Rou.

"As an employee of the internet cafe, you should say that with a joyful attitude," Chen Da, the boss, said as she walked by.

"Business is really good today, I'm so happy," Ye Xiu said expressionlessly.

Chen Guo had also trained herself and upgraded her resistance. If it had been before, she would have gritted her teeth again.

"What are you doing?" Ye Xiu asked Tang Rou.

"Looking at guides," Tang Rou said.

"You're always looking at guides," Ye Xiu said, glancing casually at her screen.

"Oh, dungeon guides?" Ye Xiu was surprised. Tang Rou hardly ever looked at these. Ye Xiu usually directed her on how to clear dungeons.

"Well… just getting a general idea," Tang Rou said. Ye Xiu took a closer look. This girl was reading about the three hidden Bosses and wild Bosses in First Line Gorge. Clearly, after being tormented by the Shadow Swordsman a few times yesterday, Tang Rou had realized that it was always a little troublesome to sharpen her spear at the last minute when facing Bosses.

"Well, just look at the Bosses, you don't need to look at the others," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh?"

"Our way of playing is basically different from the ones in the guides," Ye Xiu said.

"How is it different?" Chen Guo also joined the discussion.

"All DPS, no MT, no healer," Ye Xiu said.

An all-DPS team was already a very ordinary and inconspicuous thing for Ye Xiu and his team, but it was extremely rare among ordinary players, especially among new players in the new server. It was impossible to have an all-DPS team at all. Even the big guilds, when forming an all-DPS team, needed to find experts from headquarters to act as substitutes, like Blue Brook Guild.

Ye Xiu's team could easily break records by just casually playing. This was a very important reason. Even the elite teams of the big guilds didn't have all-DPS teams. Usually, they might omit an MT class, but they would definitely have a healing Priest.

An all-DPS team relied on the players' operating skills. Without operation, the strategy was secondary. Without operation, it was useless to give you a strategy, even if you knew it by heart, you still couldn't do what the strategy required.

"Boss, what level have you reached in Whack-a-Mole recently?" Ye Xiu suddenly asked.

"I'm just playing casually. I'm old, what can I train into?" Chen Guo said.

"Improve a little bit! Otherwise, when we all reach the Realm of Gods, if we form a team with you, you'll be dragging us down!" Ye Xiu said.

"…" Chen Guo was speechless. Apart from killing him, she really had no other thoughts.

"Oh, who wrote the guide you're looking at?" Ye Xiu's attention suddenly returned to Tang Rou's screen. Tang Rou had just opened a guide to the hidden Boss Sandworm in First Line Gorge.

"Who wrote it?" Tang Rou asked, puzzled. She pulled the page back to the top. The poster of the guide: Meiguang.

"Do you know him?" Tang Rou turned to look at Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu shook his head. He didn't know this ID, but this guide was very attractive to him.

"What's wrong with this guide?" Chen Guo was attracted by Ye Xiu's surprise and came over to take a look.

"A very detailed guide," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh?"

"He includes all possible probability events. This is not a guide, this is simply a process, a very detailed process. Every detail of the Boss fight is written in it," Ye Xiu said.

"No wonder it's so long…" Tang Rou said. This guide was several pages long, and she had just opened it and was scared off; she hadn't had time to look at the content yet.

"Wow, really…" Chen Guo also immediately realized after looking at it. This guide started by choosing five classes, talking about equipment, and then starting the fight, move by move…

"It's simply a video," Chen Guo said as she watched and imagined.

The three of them, led by Tang Rou, slowly dragged themselves through this guide, which was seven pages long and estimated to be over 20,000 words.

4 minutes and 56 seconds.

At the end of the guide, the author announced the time required to kill this Boss, accurate to the second.

"Is it real or fake?" Chen Guo didn't believe it. In fact, she felt dizzy after reading one page, and didn't look at the rest in detail.

"There's not a single mistake…" Ye Xiu said from the side.

"This… is also a loophole, right? If there's not even a slight deviation, doesn't that mean you can't make a mistake? If you make a mistake, everything will be messed up?" Tang Rou said.

"You're right," Ye Xiu nodded. "But if you're breaking a record, you can't afford to make even the slightest mistake."

"You mean his method is very strong for breaking records?"

"Not really… His method is just very safe, but not very efficient. However, this may be because he's researching hidden Bosses. Of course, safety comes first when killing hidden Bosses. Who would pursue efficiency?" Ye Xiu said.

"That makes sense," Chen Guo nodded.

"This person has other guides," Tang Rou saw the links to the author's other guides at the end of the guide.

Here, Ye Xiu also noticed the author's naming of his guides: Idiot Series.

"It is indeed idiotic enough…" Ye Xiu said. This was a step-by-step guide, with everything explained in detail. People who followed this guide didn't need to use their brains at all, just follow the steps.

"But the reviews don't seem very good!" Tang Rou looked at some of the comments below.

"It should be the problem the boss mentioned," Ye Xiu guessed.

"Yeah," Tang Rou nodded.

Most of the replies were mocking. As expected, it was the problem Chen Guo mentioned: no one could guarantee that they could follow such detailed steps from beginning to end. Therefore, the guide was regarded as a fraud and a figment of the imagination. Since this was not the author's first guide, there were more and more sarcastic comments below, such as "Here to cheat clicks again" and "The dreamer is back", and almost no one spoke up for the author.

"The guide is not wrong… but the limitations are indeed too great," Ye Xiu sighed.

"Should I look at the others?" Tang Rou's mouse hovered over other links, stopping abruptly each time, trying to steadily stop the mouse at the desired position during rapid movement. This girl was practicing her operations at all times.

"Take a look!" Ye Xiu said.

Tang Rou then clicked on another article, which was a guide to the hidden Boss Red Scorpion Assassin Sting in First Line Gorge. The style was exactly the same: choose a class, start killing, from beginning to end, several pages.

"Oh, changed classes?" Ye Xiu asked strangely. This time, the guide had four different classes from the previous guide, a completely different combination. Ye Xiu thought that someone who could make such a detailed guide would have a fixed five-person team.

Tang Rou heard Ye Xiu's question and casually clicked on another article. Looking at the beginning, it was another different five-person team. This guide was for the hidden Boss in Graveyard of the Flowing Tree.

"What time are these guides from?" Ye Xiu suddenly asked.

Tang Rou flipped back to the first page to see the posting time and found that they were all recent.

"Could he be a new server player?" Ye Xiu wondered.

Tang Rou simply clicked on the author's name and looked at his list of posts. The Idiot Series guides stopped completely at the First Line Gorge dungeon. This was indeed the current dungeon progress in the tenth server, and it stopped there.

"Search for this person in the game," Ye Xiu suggested.

So Tang Rou swiped her card to log in to the game. After Cold Smoke Rou went online, she searched for this name.

Meiguang, male, level 32, Summoner.

"He really is from the new server," Tang Rou said.

"The new server doesn't mean he's a newbie, right?" Chen Guo said.

"If he's not a newbie, who would study these Bosses that have been killed to death so carefully?" Ye Xiu said.

"Uh…" Chen Guo thought about it, and that was true.

"Look at this one!" Tang Rou suddenly shouted.

Ye Xiu turned to look.

Big title: The Mystery of the Graveyard of the Flowing Tree 16 minutes and 24 seconds record!

This score was of course achieved by Ye Xiu and his team in the tenth server. Because it was high on the dungeon leaderboard, everyone could check what classes the team was.

Unspecialized, Battle Mage, Swordsman, Thief, Launcher.

Meiguang analyzed from these five classes and discussed how this record was achieved.

The article began by mentioning the impossibility of traditional methods and definitively concluded that it was definitely a new method.

So, what kind of new method?

Meiguang's judgment was not entirely correct this time, but he deduced about 70-80% of it.

There was only one point: Meiguang obviously didn't know about Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, so his analysis of the role of the Unspecialized in the team was full of mistakes.

In the end, because the method he designed couldn't simulate a score of 16 minutes and 24 seconds, he boldly gave Lord Grim and the other four characters a set of super-luxury equipment and confidently said that this was how it was achieved…

This guy was very impolite, giving Lord Grim three orange weapons at once.

Meiguang wasn't unaware of how much investment was needed for this kind of super-luxury equipment at level 25 in the new server. But this brother was super confident. He used a reverse-thinking method… He believed that although these five sets of equipment were indeed exaggerated, they were at least not impossible, but without such equipment, it was absolutely impossible to break such a record. Therefore, the equipment was established.

In the end, Meiguang was super confident in his deduction of the method. Using this as an argument, he directly overturned the realistic statement that it was impossible to assemble such equipment.

The comments below were naturally not difficult to imagine. The most common saying was that the author's head was kicked by a donkey.

Ye Xiu and Tang Rou unanimously agreed with this comment. (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please log in, there will be more chapters, support the author, and support genuine reading!)
