Chapter 285: The Legend of Fenghua (Eleven)
Hey——
The bowstring stretched to its limit, and the meteor-like arrow shot rapidly in the direction it was aimed.
Bang!!
-15976
Even facing a 40+ level Golden Monster, the Armor-Piercing Arrow combined with the Meteor Arrow and the headshot damage bonus can easily deal over ten thousand damage.
This kind of damage is enough to make most players hesitate.
They marvel at the gap between each other, saying, “Isn’t that Fenghuayue? It’s only natural for her to deal such damage.”
But Fenghua didn’t think that way; only by continuously challenging her limits in the early stages could she afford to level up against monsters now.
However… this was still not enough.
Starry was already level 40, while she was only 35… a full 5-level gap, what did she even do this morning!?
Regarding this, Zanny had already explained that they completed an SS-level quest.
To be honest, at first, Fenghua thought they were just fooling her.
That was an SS!
Just the quest given by her master was enough to give her a headache, and these two claimed they completed it in just one morning?
The difference between level 40 and 39 on the leaderboard felt too far, making Fenghua feel a bit powerless.
Starry and Zanny broke her understanding of the game time and again.
……
The first time she met these two was on the fourth day after the server opened.
Looking back now, it felt somewhat unbelievable.
According to Famic’s hint, Fenghua found the Death Knight that was holed up at the Fountain of Life.
This guy was the culprit that turned Holyflower Village into this ghostly state.
As long as she took him down, the Fountain of Life would be restored, and this land would soon thrive again.
Although the story background was clichéd, the rewards made it worth the effort.
The level 20 Silver Boss, Death Knight Andrada, would probably not be easy to solo.
Fortunately, Fenghua was a veteran immersed in online games for many years, and she figured out the boss’s simple attack patterns, using kite techniques and alternating skills to avoid the two most dangerous skills.
Then… out of curiosity, she wanted to see what would happen if the Healing Arrow and Dark Slash collided.
The result was a violent explosion that ended up killing her.
Hurrying back, she saw the Death Knight chasing after a gray wolf.
On the gray wolf sat a girl, her enchanting purple hair particularly dazzling under the moonlight.
NPC?
After observing for a while, she realized it wasn’t.
That girl had a player ID above her head—”Shaking Off the Stars,” and Fenghua felt a bit of recognition.
Do normal people have purple hair?
Speaking of which, the game character design is based on real appearances and can be slightly adjusted to prevent doxxing, but wouldn’t differ too much. Hair color is naturally read accurately.
Many had dyed their hair specifically for their initial appearance, and it was mostly very strange, with a strong sense of incongruity.
But this girl’s hair color shone like a purple gem, sparkling in the night sky, looking too good! She felt a bit regretful for not dyeing her hair.
“Wait, wait!” Now was not the time to think about those things. Since someone wanted to cut in on her chance, she wouldn’t let that opportunity slip away.
Taking advantage of the Death Knight being distracted by the strange girl, Fenghua pulled the bowstring.
Armor-Piercing Arrow—one shot!
For her, the best outcome would naturally be for the Death Knight to kill the careless player, and then she could snipe him while he was rushing over.
But… what happened next nearly made her eyes pop out.
The wolf had turned into a loli under the dark moon and windy night!? What kind of anime was this!?
Wait, this was a game after all, so she accepted it…
Accept what, she had never heard of such a setting!
Afterward, the gold-haired loli that had transformed from the gray wolf unleashed a series of strange abilities, undoubtedly a hidden class.
Moreover, the actions of that purple-haired girl were even more astonishing; she fluidly turned around and plunged her sword into the eye of the Death Knight.
-3055!
“…” Fenghua was seriously shaken. Can current players really deal 3k damage so easily!? Are we playing the same game?
Regardless, it would be bad if the boss got stolen.
Thinking this, she concentrated and summoned a Healing Arrow. As long as it caused an explosion… she could swoop in and collect the boss.
Unfortunately, the previous explosion did not occur; perhaps it was necessary to wait for the boss to use Dark Analysis, but there was no time left.
Because that golden-haired girl had summoned a Fire Curtain, continuously burning the Death Knight, and the boss’s health was in a perilous state!
Clearly, I was the one who got here first… Clearly, I was the one who got here first!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Fenghua simply let go of her aim at the boss, shifting her target to that golden-haired loli.
Their expressions changed.
“…”
Thus, they were stuck in a deadlock.
But… as expected, it was still not achievable.
First of all, they hadn’t caused any trouble; they were just engaging in a wild boss hunt.
Secondly, given these two’s strength, they were fully capable of taking down the Death Knight.
“Sigh…..”
Fenghua put down her bow and let out a sigh.
The boss’s health was completely emptied, and as soon as the Undead Flame was extinguished, he would truly die.
Damn it, I can’t leave here empty-handed!?
“Don’t—kill—him!!!” Fenghua had no choice but to shout, tearing off her façade, while activating Wind Dance to rush forward.
Unexpectedly, those two girls seemed a bit dazed and actually stopped.
Quickly, she initiated a party request.
No agreement.
“Hurry, he’s about to revive!”
As soon as she said that, the golden-haired loli was scared stiff, and after hesitating, she almost clicked to reject.
Joined successfully!
“Alright, you attack.”
After saying this, the purple-haired girl straightforwardly drew out her weapon.
A flash of golden light went by, and everyone present leveled up.
The team was filled with a cacophony of discussions; besides these two, there were also two boys and a girl, clearly having dropped out in the previous battle.
They seemed to have just started playing this game, full of curiosity about everything, even someone said welcome to the newcomers.
After a while, the atmosphere became suddenly awkward.
Of course, she was an outsider.
Looking at the list of friends filled with gray avatars, all forever stuck below level 10, perhaps they would never log in again for the rest of their lives.
A bit agitated.
“If you hadn’t barged in, I could have taken him down myself.” The two women obviously showed shocked expressions upon hearing this.
Hmph…
Seeing them unresponsive, Fenghua began to size them up. For some reason, her gaze naturally passed over the golden-haired girl, landing on the purple-haired girl afterward.
Shaking Off the Stars… the more she thought about it, the more familiar it seemed; she must have seen her recently…
Ah, got it! It was the level leaderboard!
Since entering Yunshui City, she had always held the top spot on the board!
“Let’s duel! If your strength matches your ranking on the leaderboard, I won’t take these spoils!”
Fenghua wanted to know what power this top-ranked player possessed. If she could personally fight, she would understand everything; even if she had to forfeit the boss’s rewards, it would be okay.
She was quite straightforwardly refused.
“I don’t need to prove anything to you; the st rank leaderboard isn’t of my making.”
Shaking Off the Stars waved her hand, looking like she didn’t want to battle.
“Do you look down on me?”
“Fool…” Fenghua vaguely heard muffled sounds.
“How about this, let’s duel when you hit level 20?”
“No need, let’s start now.”
Who would have thought, the purple-haired girl squinted her eyes, looking as if she were about to fall asleep, and said lazily, “I’m really tired right now; there’s no chance of me winning against you. Let’s fight tomorrow… okay?”
Her delicate, weary appearance seemed like she would collapse at any moment; her right hand curled up, gently rubbing her eyes, and her smooth long hair faintly glimmered with starlight.
Shaking Off the Stars was truly a star.
Fenghua fell into contemplation.
If one were to ask what the person involved was thinking…
So cute! I really want to hug her, to listen to her gentle breathing and spend this restless night.
Once this thought jumped out, it was like a wild horse that couldn’t be reined in.
“Alright… it’s settled!” Suppressing her heavy breathing, Fenghua quickly pulled her thoughts back on track.
