Chapter 277 – It’s Not That Simple (2/2)
Heart of Fire nodded, and after a chain of spells, “Whoosh”, the Dark Raider King cried out in pain as he fell to the ground, dropping a lot of equipment. At the same time, a bell rang through the field.
“Ding!”
System Announcement: Congratulations! Player Heart of Fire killed [City of the Ancients: Ba Huang City]’s third BOSS, and has earned +3 Charm and 30% experience, as well as the S-rank skill book [Flaming Hailstorm]!
……
“Heart of Fire killed the BOSS….” I murmured.
Wang Jian picked up his sword, “Brother Xiao Yao, lets go back. [Flaming Hailstorm] is an AOE spell, and it’s fated that Heart of Fire will learn it. This is a Mage that rivals our Thousand Suns Across Snowy Lands. In the future we’ll have to pay more attention; [Wrath of the Heroes] is definitely not what it used to be. The Eastern Gate has truly been amusing, to think that not only did [Hero’s Mound] First Division and [Prague] not fight, instead it was just the rising [Wrath of the Heroes] particilating. Very amusing….”
Wolf questioned, “Why didn’t [Prague] do anything?”
I scanned the area, “Its very simple; [Prague] has too many people. When Yan Zhao Warrior commanded them to get into formation, the guild members themselves took up 50% of the front line at the Eastern Gate. This also means that just [Prague] by itself will swallow up 12.5% of the three waves of the [City of the Ancients] monsters. This is an extremely crafty uncle; he already knows what the most profitable situation would be. Once [Prague] acts, they will definitely get the greatest reward…. Let’s go, we have our own battle to return to.”
“Okay.”
Wolf picked up his dagger and sheathed it, talking while he was running, “Brother Xiao Yao, if [Prague] is so calculating, will….[Zhan Long] and [Prague], finally battle against each other in the future?”
I thought for a moment, “Not necessarily…. In reality, every guild’s growth is different. [Hero’s Mound] and [Vanguard]’s structures are conquest based and relying on their battle powers to dominate the cities. [Prague]’s attitude, however, is completely different. Yan Zhao Warrior aims for a win-win situation, allowing the guild to slowly grow stronger. If nobody bothers them, then they won’t bother others. By that philosophy, [Prague]’s reputation will eventually travel to all four corners of the world. That is Yan Zhao Warrior.”
“Damn….”
Wang Jian took a deep breath, “If that’s true, then Yan Zhao Warrior, that old bastard, is the smartest person in Ba Huang City?”
I laughed, “It’s not actually that easy. Ba Huang City’s social hierarchy is too complicated, and its strength is scattered. Even if [Prague] doesn’t want to get involved, they still get embroiled in conflicts. On top of that,is a game that is very sophisticated, and contains all types of power struggles. Just this [City of the Ancients] event has all of the 2 million players in Ba Huang City fighting over a [God of Commerce Badge], forcing [Prague] to participate in the struggle, since missing out on this opportunity would make them fall behind all of the rest.”
“Do we have a chance of getting the [God of Commerce Badge]?”
“I’m not sure, we’ll just see as we go. First, we need to reach our goal of raising our guild to Level 4. This is the more practical goal!”
“Yeah….”
……
When we three returned to [Zhan Long]’s battle camp, the north gate had just started to open. It was time for the fourth wave, one filled with crawling centipedes. They were all Lv 69 Phantom Tier monsters with very high attack, but low defense and health!
“Keep your positions! The things in front of you are glossy white opportunities for experience!” Old K said as he pumped his battle axe to encourage everyone.
Bai Qi said, “You might as well say glossy white thighs to get them even more energetic!”
Matcha was speechless, “…. Just concentrate on killing the monsters!”
I returned to my position in the formation with Yue Qin Qian guarding at my side. She grinned and said, “It seems that I feel the safest beside Brother Xiao Yao…..”
“Boom!”
[Seven Star Fragment Slash] cut through the crowd of monsters. Along with Flaming Tiger God’s ranged attack skills, my experience bar soared. Yue Qing Qian’s beautiful smiling eyes turned even sweeter, “Wah, to be with Brother Xiao Yao, there’s simply more than just a safe feeling…”
I smiled back, “Oh… ‘simply more’…. this makes me think of an allusion…..”
“What allusion?”
Yue Qing Qian, Matcha, Yue Wei Lian, and Thousand Suns Over Snowy Lands, the four beauties all came over, their faces expressing curiosity. It seemed very different to them that their Boss was actually going to site an allusion.
I grinned, and said: “That allusion is…. hehe… about the differences between the English and Japanese languages. If you’re on the subway, and a pervert cops a feel of you, you will quickly protest. Using English you say, ‘STOP’, and maybe the person will actually stop, but if you say ‘Yamatte’, he might not just stop at touching…..”
(TL Note: Yamatte sort of means stop in japanese)
“………”
The beauties all grimaced: “Boss, you’re too much….”
