Chapter 205: This is Perfect
Revival Point in Yunshui City.
Three beams of white light flashed continuously as Brother Shiu looked at his returning teammates, trying to explain, “Actually, I said I was maneuvering to trick the monsters into missing, I didn’t expect him to be so direct.”
“It was you who bumped into it yourself!” Cute Orange couldn’t help but retort.
Youyou and Jiangxia nodded in agreement.
“Can you cooperate with me a bit here!”
…
At this moment, the square was filled with the noise of the crowd.
“Cold Crystal Dungeon, easy difficulty 4=2, looking for two knights, level 27 and above, with physical defense greater than 500!”
“Brother, are you kidding me? What knight at level 27 can pile up that high of a defense? How about you lower your standards a bit and I can join your team?”
“Oh? How much lower do you want it to be?”
“Level 25, with 375 physical defense, how about that? It’s roughly acceptable.”
“Come on, a level 25 would get suppressed by level 10, and their defense isn’t that great. They might not even be tankier than me.”
“Let’s just compromise, right? You guys have been here whining for half a year with no one showing up!”
“…Brother Shiu watched as the two players next to him bargained over prices like they were buying groceries, feeling a bit speechless.
There was nothing he could do; the quest couldn’t progress with so few players, and Nangong and the others were still tackling the dungeon, so he had to call for players himself in the square.
“Looking for a high-level person for an A-level 6-man shared quest! Level 28, magic resistance over 300!”
“Looking for a high-level person for an A-level 6-man shared quest! Level 28, magic resistance over 300!”
“……”
“Isn’t the requirement a bit too high?” Jiangxia wondered. At this time, all the higher-level players were in the dungeon, finding a quality tank in the wild was almost hopeless.
“It is high. My magic resistance has surpassed 300, and if the tank’s defense isn’t higher than mine, then it’s definitely hopeless,” Brother Shiu said helplessly.
At that moment, a group of people next to them seemed equally frustrated, “Hold on, brother!”
“Huh? Didn’t you say you didn’t want me?”
“Ahem, well, the attributes might be a little lacking, but as long as you know the mechanics, we can still make it work. What do you say? We just need one more to fill the team.”
“Sounds good!”
Thus, a partner quickly joined them.
Brother Shiu watched them leave, his eyes filled with bitterness, wondering how long it would take.
“Why don’t we find someone a little worse to make do?” Cute Orange asked.
“No way, this isn’t a dungeon; dying means losing levels. Bringing in a subpar tank would be like giving a freebie. And… stop teasing and come help me call for players!”
“Wait, I see a really beautiful necklace, and it’s only 200 gold!” Jiangxia exclaimed in surprise.
“I’m gathering materials for potions, I used up quite a bit earlier.”
“I… Youyou felt a little anxious, not knowing what to say, and then suddenly got a lightbulb moment, “I’m a bit hungry, let’s buy some snacks.”
Brother Shiu was flabbergasted, “Youyou and Jiangxia, come back here and help me call for players, hurry!”
…
With the two girls on the side, the calling efficiency indeed improved quite a bit.
After all, the girls in the team were not unattractive. Even just being in a party would feel pleasant.
Within 10 minutes, 3 knights and 1 swordsman came to inquire.
Unfortunately, none were above level 25, so they couldn’t be accepted.
Of course, if they were level 25, they would have gone to the dungeon already. Wouldn’t farming a few pieces of treasure sets be more reliable than slowly grinding mobs on the map?
“Come on, big brother, you’re only level 15, don’t come crowding around!” Brother Shiu said to the nearby swordsman in exasperation.
“Is being high-level something great? 30 years in Henan, 30 years in Hexi, don’t look down on the young! Just wait for me!” The young swordsman huffed coldly and walked away indifferently.
“Oh, my temper! What kind of person is this!” Brother Shiu rolled up his sleeves, nearly casting a spell in the city.
Then he was stopped by Jiangxia.
“Hey… should we wait for Brother Hai to finish?” Brother Shiu hesitated.
Before the girls could respond, a shadow loomed over him.
“Um… excuse me, are you short on players?” Looking up, he saw a player dressed in silver armor walking towards them.
He looked about eighteen and spoke a little shyly.
“Yes…” Brother Shiu confirmed, “But our requirements might be a bit high; we need at least level 28 and magic resistance over 300.”
He didn’t speak but sent over screenshots of the relevant attributes.
Brother Shiu was taken aback, his expression gradually turning blank.
Level: 30
Name: Forgotten Memories
Class: Swordsman
Health: 6580
Physical Attack: 1467-1720
Physical Defense: 513
Magical Defense: 408
A level 30 swordsman! Those attributes… it must either be a set effect or he has a Gold Tier item.
“Are those attributes acceptable?”
“Absolutely, that’s perfect!” Brother Shiu was dumbfounded.
…
Meanwhile, after Fenghua and Starry had joined up.
“Mo Ran Jihua, you can call me Mo Ran.”
“Mo Ran…” Fenghua sized him up, finding dark faction players quite rare.
Though she had heard a bit about them from her master, seeing one in person was still remarkable. How did they manage to switch factions?
“Fenghuayue, anyone familiar with me calls me Fenghua.”
“Oh!! It’s the great Fenghua!” Mo Ran Jihua exclaimed, resembling someone who had just seen a star, his eyes filled with excitement. “I’ve only seen you in game videos before, I didn’t expect to run into you here.”
“I watched every match result of yours, both in the national individual and team tournaments! I’m your loyal fan!”
“Really… thank you.” Fenghua took a step back shyly, as if not very good at handling such attention.
“Let’s not talk about this for now.” Zane changed the subject. “The next arena match is about to start, who’s going up first?”
Starry had already qualified as the Little Champion, so she couldn’t challenge again.
This meant that the point-giving squad was down one member.
Moreover, for every Little Champion acquired, one player cannot give points, and the last person has to face the pressure of consecutively defeating 5 enemies.
Of course, this wasn’t mandatory, but it was best to strive for it if possible.
“Starry can’t go up anymore.” Fenghua reminded.
“Right… let’s let Fenghua go first then,” Zane thought for a moment and said.
His own combat power was nearly level 5 trash, relying solely on equipment, and the only transformation available here was the Swift Shadow Wolf.
Just using meow potions alone would make it hard to sustain battles like Starry could.
So, while there were still two actors, it would be better to let Fenghua, who has recovery ability, go first.
“Mo Ran, what do you think?”
“Me? No problem, I’m just here to give it a try, let Fenghua go first; I’ll follow her.”
The young man seemed quite agreeable!
“Okay, then it’s settled, let’s go!”
…
The location of the third arena was quite far from the second arena, and it took a whole half-hour to reach.
“We’re here, this is it.” Mo Ran paused.
At that moment, the two opponents in the arena seemed to have reached a stalemate.
No, to be precise, they were in a feeding phase.
The left side’s Undead Mage trembled, apparently exhausted of magic power, while over 10 summoned kneeling warriors were being devoured one by one by the opposite Man-Eating Flower.
“Ahh—” With a gaping maw, yet another steadfast kneeling warrior became food.
