Hu Die Lan
Chapter 885 Only Two First Kills
As Ye Xiu expected, the little Boss carrying the oil lamp wasn't too difficult to deal with. Plus, he himself took on the two important roles of MT and healer, so he did the most complicated tasks. To a certain extent, the others just had to output mindlessly.
The battle progressed quickly, but even faster was the team led by Wei Chen who had set off earlier. Even before Ye Xiu's team had killed the Boss, they could vaguely hear those guys sighing about something.
All this sound came from outside the game. The intense sound effects of the battle covered up too much, and Ye Xiu didn't hear it very clearly, but soon Wei Chen beside him shouted loudly to him, "It seems like small dungeons don't have individual Boss first kills!"
Ye Xiu was taken aback, then immediately understood.
Wei Chen's team had already killed the number one Boss in the small dungeon, but the system didn't issue any announcements, no wonder these people were sighing with regret. Record rewards, that was the main way for them to obtain things. Small dungeons didn't have individual Boss first kills, which meant that the two dungeons only had one first kill each in the end.
But what's done is done. They couldn't just give up halfway. After everyone regretted it for a while, they still had to continue running the dungeon.
Ye Xiu's team quickly killed the miner leader Zhalu as well. As expected, the system didn't react at all. All they got from Zhalu was a piece of blue equipment, something that didn't even need to be looked at.
"If I had known this, we might as well have found another ten-man dungeon to run!" Wei Chen shouted from the side. He had taken off his headset and was just hanging it around his neck. He also said, "Actually, we don't need to use headsets, do we?"
That was true. Everyone was in the same room, so they could communicate directly. There was no need to use the in-game voice system. Especially now that they were divided into two groups, it was easier to exchange information without wearing headsets. As for the game's sound effects, it was just a small dungeon, not complex enough to require using sound to make certain judgments.
A bunch of people then took off their headsets. Wei Chen's team had already continued to advance towards the next Boss. What about Ye Xiu's team? As soon as the miner leader Zhalu fell, Mo Fan couldn't wait to look at the output statistics.
This time the output statistics weren't as unsightly as they were in Yinshan Bandit Village. But Mo Fan was still a little dissatisfied. Because he wasn't first, but only second. The first was still Wu Chen's Xiaochang, and in the previous Yinshan Bandit Village, Wu Chen's Xiaochang always appeared as the number one output.
Deceitful Rain's output was slightly different from Xiaochang's, but not too much. However, Baozi Invasion behind him was very close to him. As for Chen Guo's Chasing Haze, she was much worse. But Mo Fan didn't even look at her. In his eyes, Chen Guo wasn't a competitor at all.
Although he wasn't very satisfied, it wasn't too unsightly, right!
Mo Fan's spirits were greatly lifted by this output statistic. But then he saw Ye Xiu's Lonely Smog carrying the giant axe and turning to the next place, not stopping at all to discuss the output statistics?
Mo Fan immediately felt a little depressed again.
Was this a premeditated targeting?
When he played well, he didn't say a word; when he played poorly, he had to bring it up to humiliate himself? This guy was as vicious as ever!
Mo Fan kept thinking, but still controlled Deceitful Rain to continue following the team forward.
Afterwards, small monsters, Boss number two, all the way to Boss number three. The difficulty of the five-man dungeon was really no match for experts like them. At almost the same time as Wei Chen's team, they also completed the first kill of the Windward Snow Mine.
Five-man dungeons weren't like team dungeons, which only had one chance a day or even one chance a week. The batch of five-man dungeons that came out with the level 75 update all had three chances a day. Therefore, there were actually many guilds or players who were exploring and researching. If there were more chances, maybe some elite players could have figured out how to clear it. But with only three chances, that was really too few. Although Ye Xiu's team started later, they cleared it in one go, making this first kill easy to obtain.
The players in the world channel were amazed, and the moods of the major club guilds were even more complicated. Great. The name of the first kill for three level 75 dungeons had been hung up with the name of Happy. This was a record that would never be covered up.
What about Ye Xiu's team? The two teams were now preparing to receive their first kill rewards. Wei Chen made a bet with Ye Xiu for a pack of cigarettes, saying that their rewards would definitely be more substantial than Ye Xiu's.
"Hahahahaha!" Amidst Wei Chen's loud laughter, the first kill reward for their team was revealed.
"Weapon!" Wei Chen said triumphantly. Being able to get a weapon meant that he had already won half the bet. The value of a weapon was far above other equipment.
But upon closer inspection of the weapon's type, Wei Chen's expression darkened slightly.
Bloodletting Greatsword.
It was an Orange weapon, and its attributes were pretty good, but unfortunately, it was another weapon that none of the characters in Team Happy could use. The only sword-wielding class, Ghostblade One Inch Ash, would never choose a greatsword. Even as a Zhan Gui, no one in the pro scene used a greatsword, a weapon that was completely biased towards physical attacks.
"This effect is a bit interesting!" Ye Xiu said, looking at the Bloodletting effect at the end of the Bloodletting Greatsword's attributes.
Bloodletting: 3% chance to trigger the Bloodletting effect, reducing the target's maximum health by 1%.
"1%? That's a bit too little, isn't it?" Wei Chen said.
"What if it's against a Boss?" Ye Xiu said.
"Boss..." Wei Chen was stunned. "It's useless even against a Boss, unless it's triggered on the first hit, removing one percent of the health and its limit along with the damage. That would be a bit scary. But the problem is that the probability is too low. If it's not triggered at the start, then after a while, one percent of the target's health will be gone, and the effect will become purely removing the limit. What's the use of that?"
"It might be useful in some special combat situations," Ye Xiu said.
"At least it's not very useful in PvP," Wei Chen said.
"If there's one percent, maybe there's five percent, or ten percent?" Ye Xiu said.
"Hmm, if you put it that way..." Wei Chen was a little shaken.
"Let's keep it for now!" Ye Xiu said.
If he didn't say that, then the equipment would be judged as having no value. For example, the blue and purple equipment that were obtained in the dungeon would definitely be thrown into the guild warehouse. And the Orange equipment that was kept like this would be studied for its attributes, and it was for the sake of creating a self-made weapon.
"What's your reward over there?" Wei Chen asked Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu hadn't chosen yet. Seeing Wei Chen turn his head over, he clicked on the receive reward.
It was also Orange text, it was a piece of equipment. Five-man dungeons were much stingier than team dungeons in terms of first kill rewards. The completion reward for Yinshan Bandit Village was two Orange equipment and four materials. But the five-man dungeon only had one Orange equipment, equivalent to a Boss first kill in a team dungeon.
"Hurry up and see what it is!" Wei Chen shouted from the side.
The Orange text that appeared read: Falling Moon Piercing Cloud. It was impossible to tell what kind of equipment it was.
When Ye Xiu moved the cursor over, and it was fully displayed, Wei Chen was silent, because he had lost.
Falling Moon Piercing Cloud was a battle spear. In Team Happy, Tang Rou's Battle Mage Soft Mist was clearly a DPS character. This rewarded equipment was finally given to its rightful owner.
Falling Moon Piercing Cloud.
Weight 3.5 kg, Durability 35, Attack Speed 3;
Physical Attack 911, Magic Attack 632;
Strength +55;
Attack Speed +1;
Physical Crit Rate +12;
Light Attribute Attack;
When a Chaser attacks, there is a 5% chance to generate an additional Chaser of the same attribute to directly attack the target, and the Chaser ignores the target's defense.
With a super expert in Battle Mages like Ye Xiu, the others were too embarrassed to comment on this weapon. What about Ye Xiu? He highly approved of this battle spear.
Just the attack speed in the basic attributes. The attack speed of a normal battle spear was the slowest, 1, but the basic attack speed of this battle spear was 3, and there was a +1 attribute in the additional speed, which was an attack speed of 4, a considerable increase. It was rare for a battle spear.
In addition, the added strength or added critical hit were common attributes on battle spears. The data of Falling Moon Piercing Cloud reflected the style of a level 75 Orange equipment. As for the light attribute attack, that had to be measured based on the specific situation. When calculating damage, a weapon with attribute attack had to take into account the target's resistance. If it was a character with extremely high dark attribute resistance, then the damage of the light attribute attack would be strengthened. If the target had extremely high light attribute resistance, then it would naturally weaken the damage of this weapon. Ice and fire resistance had no direct relationship with light attribute. But even when attacking a target with no resistance at all, an attack with an attribute would be slightly stronger than a normal attack without an attribute. Overall, an attribute weapon would restrain the target, and it was also possible that the target would restrain it. It was difficult to measure the strength.
As for the last attack effect, it was another new thing at level 75. Ye Xiu hadn't experienced it before. According to the description, this was undoubtedly a very powerful supplement to the output. 5% probability was a bit low. But if the probability of this effect was not low, then it would be too heaven-defying.
Overall, Falling Moon Piercing Cloud wasn't as eye-catching as the Tiger Seal that Wei Guang had obtained before, but the attributes were decent, all were good enhancements, even the "light attribute attack" couldn't be considered a drag. Without a doubt, this was a weapon that was worth immediately equipping after reaching level 75, and of course, it had to be given to Soft Mist.
"Five-man dungeons are boring, why don't we find a 10-man dungeon to run?" After the two teams came out of the dungeon, Wei Chen said. In the end, each of them only got one first kill reward from the five-man dungeon, which wasn't very cost-effective.
"Sure, there seem to be two 10-man dungeons, right?" Ye Xiu said.
Of the three level 75 areas that were announced earlier, only Lieping Mountain had a ten-man dungeon. However, in the other three areas that were revealed today along with the update, everyone now knew that there were two more ten-man dungeons.
Everyone excitedly prepared to head to the ten-man dungeon. Mo Fan was full of depression at this time. After the five-man dungeon was finished, his output had never exceeded Wu Chen's, but it wasn't too unsightly. But what was hateful was that Ye Xiu really didn't talk about the output once from beginning to end. Mo Fan couldn't bear it any longer, and this time he took the initiative to speak, "Aren't you going to look at the output?"
"Oh? I forgot to look just now. I'll look at the ten-man dungeon later," Ye Xiu replied casually.
