Chapter 241 - 241: All the Top-ranked Players! I’m Unworthy (2)
Yu Tang exclaimed with excitement, “I’ll just lay flat!”
JI Xingzhi was speechless.
It wasn’t incorrect to say so, but how could he not manage to express this sentiment with the same joy?
Yet, indeed, the journey had been one of ease.
JI Xingzhi watched as the swordsman in white and the assassin in black cut down their foes along the way.
Even the bard had hardly lifted a finger, as both Si Fuqing and Lightning’s health bars remained unscathed.
It was evident that their APM had soared beyond 400, reaching the pinnacle of evasion skills.
JI Xingzhi’s lips twitched, “Coming back after four years and still playing like this, you’re really a freak.”
In just a few minutes, the team reached the final boss’s lair.
JI Xingzhi was about to scout ahead but was halted.
“Wait, we need to revise our strategy. This boss has twelve forms,” Lightning spoke up. “Kill it once, and it sheds a form. Each form must be slain within five seconds, or it will instantly recover all its health and fighting power.” Si Fuqing narrowed her eyes slightly, “Did you get inside information?
Lightning didn’t deny it.
Si Fuqing reorganized their formation, and the five entered.
The final boss was indeed not as easy to deal with as the earlier minions. Even with Si Fuqing and Lightning’s combined efforts, it took a full five minutes to eliminate ten of its forms.
Particularly challenging was the boss’s ability to summon minions for a surround attack.
“Damn, what kind of mind does the chief designer of this Oracle game have?” JI
Xingzhi cursed while dodging, “To come up with such a twisted dungeon.”
Si Fuqing fell silent for a moment, “Maybe the level of the first place in the
International Joint Examination.”
“You might be right, ” JI Xingzhi finally cleared the minions. “Only that level of genius could come up with this.”
“Attention—” Lightning suddenly spoke, “The last form, a dual form, must be killed simultaneously. We have enough time. I calculated; the West Deities is three minutes behind us.”
“Brother, you’re not also from the International Joint Examination, are you?” JI
Xingzhi asked. “How can you calculate this so fast?”
When any team reached the final stage, the live broadcast would go dark.
Only after the official announcement would the first clear be known.
Lightning was indifferent, “Basic operation.”
JI Xingzhi was baffled.
What kind of engineering genius had he encountered?
While they spoke, Si Fuqing had already moved.
“The final strike.” Her eyes shone with the fervor of youth, ready for battle,
“Come!”
The swordsman unleashed a new combo!
An explosion of power!
“Whoosh!”
The boss’s health bar plummeted rapidly.
“It’s not enough, the health isn’t bottoming out!” Lightning announced gravely, “It’s about to fully recover!”
But at that moment, the idle bard in white made his move.
“Zengzeng—”
“Clang! ”
The sound of the his instrument resonated, accompanied by the ring of swords.
The health bar of the dungeon boss instantly bottomed out, and it collapsed thunderously.
This time, all its forms had been exhausted; there was no coming back.
Victory was theirs!
“Good coordination, kid,” Si Fuqing spoke, her eyes appreciative. “After I kill you, maybe we can be friends.” She admired those with skill.
Yu Xiheng remained silent.
He exited the dungeon and logged off.
The study was tranquil.
The man quietly gazed at the words on the wall, “How can I say I lack clothes, when I share my robe with you.” His eyes were deep and dark.
“Shiyan.” Shen Xingyun brought a plate of fruit, “You finished your game? That was quick.”
Had it been ten minutes?
“Hmm, I was thinking about something,” Yu Xiheng leaned his head on his hand, his voice cool, “With age, your hand speed inevitably decreases.”
“That’s true,” Shen Xingyun nodded, “Look at how sharp kids are today. A thirty-year-old can’t possibly be as agile as a fifteen or sixteen-year-old in gaming, where quick reactions are essential.”
He coughed twice, “I just casually cleared an old dungeon, led by a high school
It was indeed embarrassing.
Yu Xiheng’s gaze deepened.
Thirty years old and still that fast, probably not just an ordinary NEET.
He needed to be more cautious.
After pondering for a moment, he made a phone call.
“Boss!” Si Fuqing answered immediately, “Any orders?”
“Hmm, Tangtang hasn’t stepped into society, and she’s simple-minded,” Yu Xiheng spoke slowly. “Watch over her when she makes friends online. If necessary, you can intervene.”
Si Fuqing readily agreed, “I will! Tangtang is so adorable; she absolutely can’t be tricked by any guy.”
On this point, she and her boss were in agreement.
“Alright,” Yu Xiheng smiled faintly, “Let me know when you run out of gold bricks..”
