Chapter 970 - 914: Claiming the Giant Dragon Treasure
The battle had been going on for two minutes.
To be precise, Da Fei’s Angel Army was huddled behind the Ancient Tree Fortress taking hits for two minutes. After all, Da Fei is not exactly a Master-level dungeon player; when facing an unknown boss, the prudent move is to observe the boss’s moves with a turtling tactic.
And the boss’s moves are very simple and direct: every few seconds it launches a rain of swords and knives, then retrieves them and continues firing. The frequency is extremely fast and covers a wide area. Of course, seeing the two-digit damage numbers bouncing off the fortress indicates that the attack is certainly very high, and a typical 300 HP level 7 unit would definitely be KOed instantly.
Under normal circumstances, high-end players’ mobile units should be able to avoid the boss’s sword rain, but once stricken by fear, when the troops are scared stiff, it’s unpredictable. During these two minutes, indeed, some of Da Fei’s Angel troops were struck by fear occasionally, but they recovered in a few seconds.
In short, this is a simple and brutal Undead Dragon that neither uses magic nor Dragon Breath, and now Da Fei has seen through its pattern and it’s time to counterattack!
Thus, after another round of sword and knife rain was blocked by the fortress’s massive body, 20 Blazing Angels leaped up and launched another round of rockets, filling the entire hall with a sea of fire. From within the sea of fire, countless layers of two-digit and three-digit damage numbers burst forth. How many tens of thousands of damage can this be?
And then a third round! The final cannon blast! If even this can’t kill it—how can ordinary player teams even play?
Boom!!! With a dull roar, golden light shot out in all directions, countless flying Gold Coins slammed onto the fortress hall, and the pervasive blood light also collapsed with a bang! The System Prompt chimed in:
——System Prompt: Battle over! You defeated the Giant Dragon Remnant Soul, gained Experience +1,000,000, and the space has 26 minutes and 36 seconds left before it collapses. Please hurry and dispatch troops to clean the battlefield.
Da Fei was so shocked his eyebrows jumped. What? This boss wants you to personally pick things up? Are you kidding, such a huge mountain of gold, and you want me to pick it up myself? This means that if players spend too long fighting the boss, there’s hardly any time to pick up stuff!
At this moment, cheers erupted at the center of the fortress: "Victory, let’s quickly claim the Giant Dragon Treasure!"
Da Fei came back to his senses, unable to contain his excitement: "Yes, yes, everyone hurry, we still have over twenty minutes!"
Catherine was even more ecstatic: "Get the valuables first!"
Yes, yes, now is the time for my Treasure Appraisal Skill to shine! In an instant, Da Fei, his Vice Heroes, and the Angel Army were scouring over the heaps of scattered treasure Gold Coins, continuously making them disappear, as rows of System Prompts flitted across the screen:
——System Prompt: You searched the battlefield and obtained Gold Coins +253!
——System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Alina searched the battlefield and obtained Gold Coins +453!
——System Prompt: Your troops searched the battlefield and obtained spoils of war S-level troop equipment "Ancient Warrior Dragon Soul Sword!"
——System Prompt: Your Vice Heroine, Katelina, searched the battlefield and obtained an antique "Golden Pot"!
——System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Alicia searched the battlefield and obtained an antique "Golden Plate"!
——System Prompt: Your troops searched the battlefield and obtained spoils of war S-level troop equipment "Ancient Warrior Dragon Soul Shield!"
——System Prompt: Your troops searched the battlefield and obtained spoils of war S-level troop equipment "Ancient Warrior Dragon Soul Armor!"
...
My goodness, we even got the shield and armor for S-level troops! But right now, Da Fei doesn’t have time to check the attributes, anyway, since it surely won’t be usable by a Grandmaster-level, now is the legendary time of picking up money until your hand cramps! Haha, hahaha!
As the seconds tick away, the golden light in the hall gradually dims, time is very ample for Da Fei. Da Fei suddenly discovers that post-battle money collecting is a hundred times more exhausting than fighting, what kind of realm is this? This is the realm of awesomeness!
Looking back now, this battle was unbelievably simple due to the appearance of the Ancient Tree Fortress and the leading Blazing Angel, especially the Ancient Tree Fortress, which not only exceeded players’ imaginations but probably also exceeded the game developers’ imaginations?
Right, Chinese players are world-class experts at exploiting loopholes and playing bugs! There’s nothing they can’t do, just things they haven’t thought of; various famous game miraculous strategies and card positions mostly originate from high-end Chinese players. When each bug is exploited by Chinese players, the game developers are caught off guard and struggle to respond. This is a realm where players surpass developers.
Of course, this does not mean that the intelligence and knowledge level of Chinese players is necessarily higher than players from other countries, but the way Chinese players think is different. Chinese players like using hacks, they like shortcuts. While everyone else meticulously plans leveling teams, locations, and schedules, Chinese players are the first to ponder which place has good glitches to exploit, and how to outrank monsters to take experience and gear solo.
Similarly, this is why many Korean games sell well in North America and Europe, but once they hit China, they’re hacked to death in just a few months. Of course, fundamentally, it reflects the low-end technology of Korean game production, unable to withstand the scrutiny of the Chinese market.
In summary, it’s hard to say if these characteristics of Chinese players are a good thing or a bad thing. However, in the face of Heroic Creation Era, this intelligent game with "self-rule," hacks have finally become history. This is the real test of players’ skills from various countries.
And Da Fei in this battle undoubtedly represented the pinnacle strength of Chinese players, though, unfortunately, it was played as a solo game with no one to cheer.
Sigh, solo game it is. Amidst Da Fei’s profound emotions, the Dragon Tomb was finally cleared out, with 13 minutes remaining.
Then tallying the spoils of war, 6.28 million Gold Coins, 13 Ancient Warrior Dragon Soul Swords, adding the 7 obtained outside makes 20. 13 sets of Ancient Warrior Armors, 13 Ancient Warrior Shields. Then a total of 46 various antique golden plates, golden staffs, and golden chamber pots.
Well, one could say it’s quite a haul and justifies the high-end team’s efforts. However, Da Fei always feels something crucial is missing, like, strategic equipment usable by player heroes! Even if there were one or two pieces of S-level strategic equipment, Da Fei still feels something’s lacking?
Da Fei urgently asked the jubilant crowd: "Do you think there’s any treasure left overlooked?"
Catherine frowned: "Hard to say!"
Alicia laughed: "Anyway, Gold Coins surely haven’t been missed."
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched, Gold Coins are glaringly conspicuous, of course, they’re not missed, the problem is what about the unobtrusive ones? Well, no more of that, the old rule: call upon the Luck Skill! Neither the Divine Artifact from the mouth of the Sea Demon nor Uriel Ring from the Flame River escaped this move of mine!
——System Prompt: You use God-level Luck Skill’s sub-skill "Lucky Hand," and it applies significant boosts to your skills under the influence of Luck Skill!
At this very moment, a flash of red shimmered in a distant pool of blood!
Da Fei laughed heartily, it’s finally here! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please head over to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
