Hu Die Lan
Chapter 230 Early Today
World Chat: Holy crap!
Major Guilds: Holy crap!
Although it wasn't a first kill, the map Boss itself was extremely valuable. The lack of a first kill title couldn't stop everyone's envy and jealousy. (Map Boss is the same as field Boss, just different terms, same meaning. Many people have been messaging me about this lately, so I'm explaining it here.)
Amidst the uproar in the world channel, quite a few players displayed good sportsmanship, sending "Congratulations" messages or emoticons.
Jiang You was far away in Congee City, but he could still see the system announcement and the world messages. Jiang You really wanted to vomit blood, really, really wanted to… He witnessed Lord Grim's profoundness once again.
Broadcasting the Boss coordinates stirred up global attention, forcing Jiang You and his team to lure the monster in the direction Lord Grim needed. However, players who swarmed in and couldn't find the Boss would naturally have grievances against Lord Grim. As a result, for over an hour, players who failed to find the Boss bombarded Lord Grim with questions in the world channel. If it was a joke, no one would find it funny after being messed with like that. Lord Grim's reputation was quite terrible at that moment.
However, a system announcement washed away all of that.
Look! The Boss did exist. Lord Grim found it and killed it. It's just that you couldn't find it yourself.
The questioning voices immediately diminished.
Although many still suspected that Lord Grim had sent fake coordinates to lure the tiger away from the mountain, that wasn't the prevailing thought.
Why would someone intentionally send a message to mobilize players after finding the Boss unnoticed? Even if the pointed location was the opposite of the Boss's location, which exposed more possibilities by mobilizing players all over the map? Wasn't that obvious? Knowledgeable people denied this possibility.
Jiang You, Ye Du Han Tan… They knew the reasons behind all this, but unfortunately, they couldn't voice their suffering. Now the Boss was truly gone, and it was snatched away after they worked hard for over an hour. Flipping the table couldn't express Jiang You's anger at this moment.
"We must take down Lord Grim!" Jiang You typed furiously on the keyboard, giving this instruction to Ye Du Han Tan.
After all, Ye Du Han Tan didn't personally experience the Boss being snatched away. Although he was disappointed at this moment, it was far from Jiang You's feelings. This feeling was like a match to determine victory, being spectacularly reversed by the opponent in the last minute, and at the same time, the difference in mood between the audience and the players on the field.
"Definitely!" But Ye Du Han Tan firmly expressed his decision.
And as soon as the Boss's death notice came out, the seven major guilds quickly united.
Without the possibility of fighting for the Boss, Lord Grim became a public honor, a public Boss, and everyone began to prepare to work together to kill it.
"Where are Su Muqiu's Dancing Rain and that One Inch Ash?"
"Did they die?"
"They logged off…"
"Damn it."
The major guilds all had Lord Grim as their main target, and didn't pay too much attention to the other members of the team. Seeing only three people on the announcement, the other two were missing, possibly having died and left the team. Just as they were thinking of telling the players in Congee City to pay attention, they searched and found that both of them were offline, realizing with a start.
But as long as Lord Grim was there, it was enough to vent their anger. The seven guild leaders were now mainly mobilizing scouts at the entrances of various dungeons, coordinating with their hundred-man regiment to surround the previous location from all directions, first to lock down Lord Grim's location, so as to prevent this guy from escaping in the maze again.
Closer, closer, from all directions, blocking every intersection. This time, unless Lord Grim could fly and jump directly out of First Line Gorge, otherwise…
"Damn it!!" Ye Du Han Tan suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" The other six leaders quickly asked.
"Lord Grim logged off…" Ye Du Han Tan was depressed! He just opened his friends list and glanced at it, but Lord Grim's name was grayed out. He quickly tried searching again, and sure enough, he was offline. Dancing Rain, Steamed Bun Invasion... all offline.
"Yeah!!" The seven major guild players went crazy after getting this news.
They worked hard almost all night, but what did they do? They just chased after Lord Grim and the others all over the world, looking for places to squat.
What about Lord Grim and the others?
They wiped out their 32-man team.
Ran the dungeon twice.
Killed five elite guild teams.
Killed the map Boss Rock Surfer Oponn.
Everyone was scratching the walls, and the insiders of Tyrannical Ambition were scratching the walls while vomiting blood all over the base. They had 32 people wiped out; they accounted for two of the five elite teams wiped out; the Rock Surfer Oponn who was killed was stolen from them, and in the process of stealing, their elite team was wiped out again. So, Tyrannical Ambition's elite team suffered three losses.
But now, the people were all offline, who could they talk to? What was more invincible than logging off in the game? Online and offline, two worlds, logging off almost cut everything clean.
Someone suggested leaving people to squat 24 hours a day where Lord Grim logged off, but someone coldly asked, "Where did Lord Grim log off?"
Yeah! Where did he log off?
The encirclement of the seven major guilds had not yet been completed. They were only blocking the roads and heading towards the coordinates provided by Tyrannical Ambition before killing the Boss. After that, who knew where Lord Grim and the others had moved to log off? Since they knew they were exposed, would they stay at the original coordinates?
Currently, the seven major guilds were located within a coordinate area spanning hundreds of units. Without knowing the specific time Lord Grim logged off, it was impossible to grasp the range in which he would be. And with the winding maze terrain of First Line Gorge, such a large coordinate area, it was impossible to monitor it 24 hours a day with the available manpower.
The seven major guilds, guarding the gorge entrance, guarding the dungeon entrance, at this time there were no less than two hundred people, their characters all petrified in First Line Gorge...
Happy Internet Cafe.
Tang Rou, holding her teacup, left her computer for a stroll. She saw Ye Xiu smoking at the front desk, looking like he was in a pretty good mood.
Ye Xiu's mood would naturally be good. After Rock Surfer Oponn fell, it dropped Amber Crystal Stone, which was exactly what he needed. He didn't expect to get it after killing it once. Ye Xiu estimated that this was the only one in the entire tenth server, and not many would be produced in a year. Items from map Bosses have always been precious and rare.
This material alone made Ye Xiu satisfied. In addition to this, Rock Surfer Oponn also dropped a purple weapon, two blue equipment pieces, and two Rock Breaths.
The purple weapon was the level 30 Twin-Tailed Sword, belonging to the Assassin's Dark Night series. The Assassin, Ninja, Thief, and Warlock classes belonged to this series, but there was no character of this type in Ye Xiu's small team. The Twin-Tailed Sword was useless and could only be exchanged for some gold coins on the market.
The two pieces of blue equipment were also professional sets, which were even more unnecessary for Ye Xiu and his team, who were already fully equipped.
As for the two Rock Breaths, this was a type of material used to make jewelry. Although the drop rate was much higher than that of Amber Crystal Stone, it was only produced by Rock Surfer Oponn, so the output was naturally extremely limited. Ye Xiu didn't need this to upgrade the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, but such rare materials should naturally be kept for future needs.
"Were the two materials that dropped very useful?" Tang Rou asked after coming over.
"Yes, Amber Crystal Stone is very useful to me! That Rock Breath can be kept for now. If we don't need it in the future, we can sell it for money to exchange for equipment." Ye Xiu said.
"Oh."
"You logged off quite early today! You can rest earlier. It's not even six o'clock." Ye Xiu, with a cigarette in his mouth, stood up and stretched.
"That's because... you still have to sit until seven o'clock." Tang Rou patted the front desk.
"Oh... forgot." Ye Xiu quickly sat back down. He really thought he was here to play games, forgetting that he was actually on the night shift, playing games on the side.
"Then I'll go first."
"Okay."
After Tang Rou said goodbye, she took her teacup and went back to the second floor. When she arrived at the door of her room, she saw that the door was ajar, and there was a faint light.
"Is Guo Guo up so early?" Tang Rou wondered as she pushed the door open, only to see the TV was on. It was not yet six o'clock in the morning, and she didn't know what program was being broadcasted, making the room flicker. On closer inspection, Chen Guo was sleeping on the sofa again, curled up in a ball, looking very cold.
Tang Rou smiled wryly, came over and patted Chen Guo: "Guo Guo, wake up, go back to your room and sleep!"
"Hmm? Is it dawn?" Chen Guo heard Tang Rou's voice, suddenly turned around and looked around. The room was still dark except for the TV. Chen Guo looked at the time in a daze: "Why is it not even six o'clock yet?"
"Uh…" She suddenly ended the game very unusually early today. The reason was a long story, and Tang Rou couldn't find a place to start.
"Did you finish so early today? Have you eaten?" Chen Guo asked.
"No."
"Eat something before you sleep, let me see what's in the fridge." Chen Guo got up from the sofa. The suite in their internet cafe didn't have a kitchen, and they never cooked. However, there were still a lot of random snacks and drinks in the refrigerator.
"No need, you should go back to your room and sleep!" Tang Rou said.
"Hmm... I'm hungry." Chen Guo said, still rummaging through the refrigerator.
Chen Guo casually rummaged through some things. Heating milk, slicing bread, spreading jam, Tang Rou also came up to help.
After making two pieces of bread with jam, one for each, Chen Guo asked casually while biting: "How was playing tonight?"
"Oh, it was very lively!" Tang Rou said as she ate and told Chen Guo about it.
Chen Guo listened quietly, smiling and marveling.
"Level up quickly, I'm waiting for you in the realm of gods, going to sleep." After Chen Guo finished listening and eating, she went straight back to her bedroom.
Tang Rou was stunned. She suddenly thought that Chen Guo had hoped to play games with her for a long time. She had never joined, but she had never felt any estrangement from Chen Guo because of this. Although Chen Guo often took her to watch games and tell her about Glory, Chen Guo spent much more time with her when she was watching TV or doing something else in the room every night.
But how many times has Chen Guo been alone on the sofa at night during this time, woken up freezing, and then turned off the TV and returned to her bedroom?
Chen Guo had never neglected her when she was passionate about games. But what about herself…
