Chapter 364 - 339 Ancient City Ruins, No One Out Yet_2
Sure enough! Da Fei sighed, "Thank you guys, but I’m really sorry, I’ve been screwed over by the Japanese and can’t make it out now."
Harem Beauty laughed and said, "No way, Brother Fei, what’s remarkable is that you managed to pull off this infection that spread all over the place."
"Hey hey, that was clearly the Japanese’s doing."
"We saw the video, you were so awesome in the sewer, you even beat the BOSS and they couldn’t fight back!"
"Hehe, that’s the Divine Artifact for you. Those clueless Japanese thought it was a BUG, pfft!"
"Brother Fei is so impressive!"
While Da Fei was joking with the beauties, the system alert sounded again!
——System Prompt: We regret to inform you! Your Vice Hero Deirdre has exhausted her life in the plague, and your Independent Expedition has been disbanded.
——System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Deirdre is a Trial Hero; her death cannot be resurrected in hero mode. She will await your summoning again in the form of a Banshee Soul, waiting for you to re-train her!
Da Fei was suddenly startled! Deirdre died! But she didn’t truly die!
That’s how it is! That’s how it is indeed! Think about it, after all, it’s just a game, no matter how tough the difficulty is, it wouldn’t leave the players utterly devastated with nothing left, right? At this moment, Da Fei was moved to tears!
This is the advantage of the competition server! I can use the competition server to predict the future! Even if I make irreparable mistakes in the future, as long as my beloved doesn’t truly die, no matter how hard it is, even if I have to start from scratch, I will nurture you back!
Just then, Harem Beauty sent another message: "Brother Fei, it seems like your Bell Tower’s Ghost Dragon and troops have all scattered away?"
Da Fei sighed with a smile, "Yes, my Vice Hero couldn’t withstand the plague, she died. Why don’t you take over that Bell Tower?"
Harem Beauty laughed, "It’s too late, she’s out of potions too, she’s going to fall as well, anyway, thank you, Brother Fei. We had a lot of fun."
Da Fei sighed with a smile, "How about this, after the competition ends, should I meet up with that friend of yours? Will she welcome me?"
Harem Beauty was shocked, "Meet up?"
Da Fei patted his head with a smile, "Oh, meet up in the game, you know, add each other as friends or something. She and I actually came from the same newbie hall, she was the one who calculated the examiner NPC’s chicken and duck questions back then; her mental arithmetic is super powerful!"
Harem Beauty exclaimed, "So it’s fate! Definitely meet up, definitely add as friends, she’s been talking about your name every single day—ouch—she hit me—"
Da Fei couldn’t help but laugh heartily! This time, Da Fei laughed with great joy. Knowing the fate of Deirdre and being able to make friends with a decent and understanding female player made life quite fulfilling!
Just at this moment, the system alert sounded again!
——System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Leader-level troop "Charming Emperor" has defeated the troops of the China Region player "Dragon Soul"; you have won the battle!
Da Fei was suddenly struck dumb! What? Charming Emperor? Deirdre was down, and they were still alive? Damn, of course, they’ve got the special skill for an Independent Expedition with a thousand drops of blood as a BOSS!
Wait a second, Dragon Soul? Killed another compatriot by mistake? And from the Dragon Slayer Guild again? Damn it! There were so many foreigners at the scene, why kill only the Chinese? Hemorrhoid Ointment, what the hell are you doing? You’re definitely scheming against my Bell Tower, aren’t you? Brother still hasn’t turned cold in his grave... oh wait, I’m not even dead yet!
Da Fei’s messages pinged again, and he couldn’t bear to look.
Ma Yinglong: "Brother Fei, about that, uh, don’t worry, it’s our team member acting recklessly, walking carelessly. No big deal, no big deal."
Holy crap! As professional players, one down wasn’t enough, they had to continue dying? Just how careless could they get?
Of course, Da Fei, being the nation’s offender, had absolutely no room to quibble. Some things are better left unsaid, so he could only keep apologizing: "I’m so sorry, really sorry, Boss Ma, please don’t take it to heart!"
Ma Yinglong laughed heartily: "Brother Fei, you really shouldn’t mind it at all. In the end, if you and I don’t mention it, no one else would know."
Da Fei chuckled awkwardly: "Understood, understood!"
...
Meanwhile, at the Dragon Slayer Command Center, two consecutive infiltrators aiming to stealthily take down the Bell Tower were decapitated, leaving the guild’s upper echelons in turmoil!
Ma Yinglong was so shocked he was at a loss for words!
Initially, this plague was an unexpected boon for the Dragon Slayer Guild, whose main force was mostly composed of the Undead, which should’ve been somewhat immune. Despite the special nature of this plague, not even the Undead could dodge it completely; nevertheless, they were less affected than living beings, allowing the Dragon Slayer Guild to instantly take control of the competition.
However, other countries are now solely trying to blockade China, not bothering to defeat the BOSS and collect the Hero’s Proof. With nobody likely to advance, killing became pointless, and the Undead Army, afflicted by the triple plague, no longer had the strength to fight the BOSS. Hence, the most meaningful action now was to steal Da Fei’s Bell Tower. As soon as Da Fei’s out-of-control Vice Hero falls to the plague, Dragon Slayer would immediately take over.
To steal the tower, Dragon Teeth abandoned the large but weakened main army, bringing only a handful of elite ghosts for infiltration. For professional-level players, especially those at their level, preventing a large airborne entity like the Ghost Dragon from executing a decapitating strike was way too easy. Therefore, Dragon Teeth wasn’t decapitated by the Ghost Dragon but was instead killed by an assassin lurking on the lower floor of the tower! And the damage dealt by this assassin troop was terrifyingly high; just how strong was Da Fei’s trump card?
In the end, Dragon Teeth had acted too soon. They would just have to wait. Players were continually getting knocked out by the plague on the battlefield. Da Fei’s mere Vice Hero couldn’t possibly carry enough potions to last long. Whoever holds out to the end is the victor!
Finally, Da Fei’s Vice Hero dispersed like birds and beasts, and the second wave, Dragon Soul, took over. And what happened? They still got wiped out by Da Fei! What the heck was that? How could Ma Yinglong remain calm about this? No wonder Japan made such a concerted effort against Da Fei - they rely on more than just Divine Artifacts!
Right, this competition fully achieved the goal of understanding the level of other players. Resolute, Ma Yinglong decided to call Lei Huolong: "Lei Ren, your performance was very good this time. If not world-class, you’ve certainly given the Japanese a hard time. I’ve decided to invest the power of two big studios into developing the Hell Race, all under your control. You have to develop them well. I have high hopes for you!"
This was exactly what Lei Huolong had been longing for!
"Thanks, Boss, I’ll give it my all and show some serious gameplay!"
...
As for this match, knowing the strength of China Region’s players, aren’t all the regions in the world roused to intense competition, stepping up their investments?
Now, the whole battlefield was left with just one person - Da Fei stood alone! On the Ancient City Ruins battlefield, no one has qualified yet! (To be continued.
