Chapter 496 - Give Him Friendship and Warmth (1/2)

After the playback system was opened, F6 and the three squads of the Phoenix Guild were the most watched.

Almost every player watched F6’s performance in the past ten days in fast forward.

Then, they would watch the Phoenix Guild’s videos.

It took them a whole day to watch the videos even though they used fast forward and skipped through the videos.

At first, there weren’t many posts on the forum, but there were more at around nine at night.

Most of the threads had such t.i.tles like:

Roland proves that the Mage is the real center of a team with his capabilities. All the guilds have to raise their own Mage in the future.

Everything is predictable without Mages, but Mages can create miracles. But of course, the most heated thread was this one:

Who can tell me how I can become a Mage like Roland?

There were all kinds of amusing replies.

“First of all, go to a good college and relearn advanced mathematics, calculus, and other important courses. Then you may have a chance.”

“I think you can become like him in your dreams.”

“Who needs to pee? Go pee on him and wake him up.” “Don’t be so mean. Everybody should have a dream. I, for example, have finally learned Hand of Magic after playing the game for two years. My future is nothing but promising!”

“You want to become a Mage like Roland? That’s simple! Create a Mage character and name it ‘Roland’! This game doesn’t forbid repet.i.tion of names anyway!”

Apart from the threads about Mages, there were also a lot of threads about the Phoenix Guild.

“The biggest reason for the Phoenix Guild’s failure is that they unfortunately encountered Roland.”

This was a popular post too. The person who made the post praised the girls’ growth after their setbacks at the beginning. They almost dominated the match toward the end, and n.o.body could resist them at all.

It was partly because the Elven Summoner was itself a powerful cla.s.s, and when they were gathered, it was impossible for other people to defeat them with their mobility.

But of course, the girls had shown remarkable determination in fighting too.

They could’ve won the match in the game.

At the end of the match, more than eighty Summoners still lived, and they could summon more than five thousand creatures.

F6, on the other hand, only had six members.

But the Phoenix Guild lost the match even though their enemy was terribly outnumbered.

Their failure was unexpected but reasonable, because Roland was too strong.

As long as Mages like Roland existed in this game, Elven Summoners couldn’t be the best in the server no matter how many of them were out there.

Then, there were replies from other players. “I feel like the Phoenix Guild was there only to set a stage for Roland. I’m a woman too, and I wanted the Phoenix Guild to win, but they lost. F6 and Roland had a remarkable victory. n.o.body thinks that Roland’s method is shameless.”

“That’s not shameless but smart. Under these circ.u.mstances, blocking the enemy with a wall was the best way to win the match.”

“He only took advantage of the Summoners’ weakness, that they couldn’t summon flying mounts at low levels. If the character levels were restricted to LV8 or above, Roland’s move wouldn’t have worked at all.”

“Roland was already strong enough at LV5. How strong would he be at LV8? Do you think the Mages won’t get stronger when the Summoners get stronger?” “Just leave the flying mounts behind. Don’t limit Roland’s ma.s.sive destruction spells if you think you’re good. He could’ve killed as many summoned beasts as possible.” “I actually quite admire Roland for coming up with such a method in the end. When almost all the players were eliminated by the Phoenix Guild, I thought that Roland would surely fail. I didn’t expect him to win in the end.” “I’m quite impressed by the girls of the Phoenix Guild. They had advantages at the beginning with their strength in numbers, but after they were taught a lesson by F6, they immediately adopted a guerrilla style. Solisa is already like a seasoned general now.” “Speaking of F6 and the Phoenix Guild, I remember how Roland flashed and killed the girl. He covered the girl’s mouth, stabbed her, and immediately left. The whole process took less than three seconds.”

“Mud to Stone and Stone to Mud are so useful. They can be used to construct caves and walls, but I don’t know how to pick them up yet.” “Mages can create water and oil. They can cast buffs and work construction. They can chant and teleport. They’re both good at survival and at dealing damage. They can even change the terrain. Why do some people still think that the Mage is a weak cla.s.s?”

“The Mage is definitely a weak cla.s.s, but some Mages are certainly not.”

The players were quite active on the forum, discussing with each other and expressing their findings.

From the chaotic battle, they discovered the advantages and disadvantages of their cla.s.ses.

A battle was always a good opportunity to see if their ideas worked or if their battle principles were useful.

They didn’t really envy the Summoners in the Phoenix Guild.

Those girls were indeed strong, both as a group and as individuals.

But they were too dependent on their summoned creatures.

Between the third day and the eighth day, many people fought the girls of the Phoenix Guild.

They did have a lot of summoned creatures, but most of the time, they only defeated their enemy easily because they caught the enemy unprepared. Now that the other players had learned a lesson, they wouldn’t lose so quickly and brutally to the Summoners later.

Also, many of them had actually killed Summoners, for example, with the equipment they found in the ruins that could increase the damage on summoned creatures.

With such equipment, many people pa.s.sed through the line of summoned creatures like a kitchen knife cutting b.u.t.ter, slaying the careless Elven Summoners.

While such equipment was rare in the ruins, it wasn’t too hard to get such an Enchantment in the game world.

They could prepare a few pieces of equipment in their system Backpack and use them against the Summoners. It might not be enough for them to beat the Summoners, but they would at least be able to fight back.

Roland had been browsing through the forum too.

Naturally, he wasn’t reading other people’s adulations but the battle a.n.a.lyses the experts wrote.

Then, he recalled his battle experiences and cross-checked them with the a.n.a.lyses, turning the knowledge into his own.

After a day, he felt that he had learned a lot of stuff.
