Chapter 802 - 760: Poison Is the Only Cure
——Host: "Hello, audience friends, it’s now 22:00 at Hero News Live, and we are honored to have the Chairman of the Dragon Slayer Guild, Mr. Ma Yinglong, joining us live. Hello, Chairman Ma!"
Ma Yinglong smiled: "Hello, audience friends, hello Host, very happy to see everyone."
The Host laughed: "During this morning’s and afternoon’s competition, we always wanted to invite a professional expert from your guild as a guest in our live studio, but we were declined each time. It really hurts our program team."
Ma Yinglong waved his hands laughing: "Oh no, not at all. It’s because today we’re engaging in a high-level instance activity, with all the guild’s main forces participating. Since it’s a cross-level challenge, we couldn’t afford any mistakes, so we had to decline. We ask for understanding from your program team and the audience friends."
Host laughed: "So you mean, the Shadow Dragon is simultaneously competing and doing the instance activity?"
Ma Yinglong laughed: "No, he’s fully focused on the competition. Being a young professional player newly joined for a year, it’s a great opportunity to improve his technical combat skills and mental quality."
The Host was startled: "Including the last match this afternoon with Da Fei?"
Ma Yinglong seriously: "That’s right, this is the highest-level match Shadow Dragon has ever experienced. The insights and impact from this match are unprecedented for him."
Host: "Insights and impact?"
Ma Yinglong nodded: "Yes, as soon as the match ended, Shadow Dragon fainted while crying in the restroom! How painful a realization is that?"
The Host thoughtfully: "I see, having the fortune to be guided by a top player like Da Fei on the essence of idle play is like getting advice from an immortal, hugely beneficial."
Ma Yinglong seriously: "Exactly. Da Fei allows these youths who only know gaming to realize a higher realm that surpasses the game itself."
The Host then said: "Just now, we saw from the International Hero Forum a joint statement from your guild and the India Zone Sky Dragon Eight Parts Team strongly condemning the actions of the Japan and Korea Districts in disrupting game order, and jointly proposing for the Japan and Korea Districts to merge servers. Can you explain this, Chairman Ma?"
Ma Yinglong nodded: "I think there’s no need to explain their goal of faction cleansing through nationwide cheating, right? They’re not only destroying the game’s rules but also pushing the system’s main brain into an unpredictable frenzy. Simply put, once the Japan District cleanses the Light NPC forces, the Japanese demon force will expand unprecedentedly. At that time, other old zones aside, can the newly opened South America and Southeast Asia still play happily?"
Host: "So you’re suggesting merging the Korea District to limit the Japan District?"
Ma Yinglong seriously: "You can’t say limit. I estimate Korea District is too powerful, feeling bored without opponents, so they use NPC forces for fun. I believe many in the Korea District are happy to merge with the Japan District. Moreover, a server simultaneously supporting players from Japan and Korea is more than enough. This way, Hero Headquarters can save a server to further strengthen the National War Zone. Even selling it is better than letting them mess around separately."
Host laughed: "But the Japan and Korea Districts are the game developers themselves; they have the right to their own independent zones from the beginning. I fear your guild’s appeal may not be effective?"
Ma Yinglong raised his voice with excitement: "Precisely because they are the developers, such behavior of destroying the game is even more unforgivable! I know the voice of a player guild may not be taken seriously, but we will persist long term. Meanwhile, I call upon all players in the China Region to join the international forum for a collective petition, stopping their foolish, insane actions."
Host nodded: "Your guild’s spirit is indeed admirable. I believe our vast audience players in the China Region will surely support your guild."
Ma Yinglong thanked the camera: "Here, let me first thank the broad player audience for their understanding and support."
Host: "Now, let’s broadcast the situation in the European Union Zone. Currently, it’s 14:00 London time. With more and more top EU players joining Divine Punishment City, the player strength in Divine Punishment City has reached its peak. Especially with the influx of many solo mages, EU players’ dependence on troops is minimized. Under the command of the UK’s, France’s, Germany’s, and Switzerland’s four major teams, the EU players show strong, orderly combat power. Chairman Ma, how would you comment on the EU players’ performance?"
Ma Yinglong shook his head with a smile: "They’re commanding very, very well, but that’s where it’s stuck, can’t go further; they can only grind low-level mobs at the outskirts."
The Host startled: "Chairman Ma, are you referring to the giant demon soldiers before the siege machines?"
Ma Yinglong sighed: "Exactly, these are Mid-level Abyss Lords. Although they have no flying ability and cannot maneuver against angels, for defending positions, they can easily kill 10 ordinary angels without negotiation. Their attack, blood defense damage can only be described with the word ’tank.’ In short, these are not the same level of creatures as any units players currently encounter, let alone these Abyss Lords have joined the NPC heroes’ team."
Host exclaimed: "Such a powerful existence, how can EU players counter it?"
Ma Yinglong laughed: "Of course, leave it to the NPCs to handle, and players should focus on grinding essence and merits. Of course, there is still one person who could handle it."
Host: "Da Fei?"
Ma Yinglong laughed: "Exactly, as the driving force of the battle, Da Fei’s level has transcended the realm of simple fighting. I imagine these few hours of Da Fei’s absence have left our European friends conflicted and nostalgic."
Host: "Indeed, Da Fei has not appeared in our view for over three hours now. His movements surely affect entire EU Zone, even players worldwide. Let’s quietly anticipate what surprises his next appearance will bring us..."
....
At this moment, in the EU Zone, behind the lines of the Lava River in hell.
More than half of the day has passed today. Although luckily no river monsters were encountered, the speed at which Da Fei’s team is losing blood and stamina has started to exceed the recovery capacity of their equipment and Healing Skills.
Da Fei realizes that if he continues like this, he might not make it through today! This means all hopes for tomorrow are completely shattered!
Oh my goodness! We’ve come this far, as long as the troops hold out for the sailor’s bonus reward tomorrow, I will surely successfully train the Sailing Skill, and then the white light will flash, and the troops will receive enhanced bonuses again, which means double advancement, elites will be born! I absolutely cannot fall here!
At this point, relying on the effects of medicine for a few minutes is definitely not viable anymore, the only lifeline is this full cabin of Blood Wine.
In short, regardless of whatever terrible special effects there might be, it’s better than dying from heatstroke or thirst. Without hesitation, Da Fei immediately has the whole team drink Blood Wine, and of course, he drinks too! Otherwise, as the commander, how can I keep going if I die of thirst!
After drinking Blood Wine, the team’s rapid loss of health and stamina immediately gets restricted!
Da Fei is overjoyed, wow hahaha, awesome! No wonder it’s Hell Blood Wine, it’s specially made for cooling off and relieving summer heat, with so many crates prepared, why worry about not making it to tomorrow?
At this moment, Da Fei feels the scenery before him start to blur, and the sound of the lava boiling begins to diminish!
——System Prompt: Warning! You have drunk Hell Blood Wine "Bloody Girl", you and your troops will enter a state of intoxicated hallucinations, which will affect your Reconnaissance Skill warning effects and your troops’ combat power. The duration of the intoxication effect is unknown.
Da Fei is startled with a twitch of his eyebrows! Oh my goodness, I’m drunk! Although players don’t get drunk in real life when drinking in the game, the vision of the characters in the game is indeed spinning with a total blur! If a River Monster comes now, won’t it be a tragic death?
Isn’t this the legendary drinking poison to quench thirst? Wait a minute! Although I’m drunk, my Blood Eagle is not, the Blood Eagle’s perspective should be clear!
Da Fei immediately takes out the Blood Eagle Flute, and in a blur starts up the Blood Eagle. As the Blood Eagle rises, this moment proves the perspective of the small window where the Blood Eagle is indeed clear!
Da Fei breathes a sigh of relief, good! This way if a River Monster comes, I can alert and stealthily move, otherwise, I wouldn’t even know how I died.
However, since everyone is drunk, we don’t need to consume stamina to row and train, just sit and rest until tomorrow. Oh right, the ship’s bottom is a complete iron griddle, nowhere to sit, so everyone squeeze onto tables, chairs, beds, cupboards to rest! My goodness, this is the advantage of leading female soldiers, the feeling of a harem is great, wow hahaha!
Time passed in this sitting and waiting mode for two minutes, Da Fei’s team hadn’t managed to sober up, but the cooling and refreshing effect of the wine had already ended, and the whole team started rapidly losing health and stamina.
Da Fei immediately begins healing!
——System Prompt: Your troop Elifel is in a drunk negative state, spell special skill failed!
——System Prompt: Your Power Angel troop is in a drunk negative state, spell special skill failed!
Da Fei is shocked, isn’t it, being drunk causes spell special skills to fail? Are you kidding me! Can those alcohol-loving pirates who fight braver the more drunk they get still enjoy playing?
What to do now? Keep drinking? If one bottle ensures peace for two minutes, as long as everyone drinks thirty more bottles, they can rely on equipment self-healing to endure the remaining half-day!
Da Fei grits his teeth: "Drink! Wine is water! Everyone, drink to your heart’s content!"
...
Now, after the third bottle down, Da Fei’s main view is already blurry with blood, faintly seeing scenes of various blood-colored figures fighting each other, while his ears are filled with wails, screams, and cries! My goodness, this is indeed the hallucination content of Bloody Girl! It truly is filled with violence, a style only Demons would like!
Thinking about this, Da Fei suddenly realizes, what consequences will arise from my angels drinking these?
Da Fei hastily shouts: "Elifel, are you drunk? What do you see? What do you hear?"
Elifel murmurs in a deep enchanting voice, "I see, I hear, the Seven Deadly Sins of humans!"
My goodness! Can you not give such a grand explanation? It’s just angels watching violent shorts! Well, it can’t be helped, compared to the One-Winged Angel, watching violent shorts really can’t be considered anything.
However, there are still twenty-seven or eight bottles to go for each person! Even the fiercest drinker can’t continue drinking like this, not to mention the hallucination bombardment during this half-day, what will happen to my dear angels?
Pfft, just become villain angels! Let’s consider developing special soldiers!
Time continues to pass slowly in a whirl as Da Fei’s team drinks the tenth bottle, and the situation Da Fei foresaw finally appears!
——System Prompt: Warning! Your Angel Army has drunk a large amount of Hell Blood Wine, their bodies begin to get polluted! Please stop drinking, otherwise, the troops will undergo unknown transformations!
Da Fei feels tears streaming down his face, it’s already like this, can you even stop now? Drinking poison to quench thirst is a must! (To be continued.
