“StarFire squad, Leader: StarFire, Members: TwinkleBeauty, BlueDreamer, GoodDreamJia, LilRainDrop has become the first squad to ever kill a Humanoid Chief Boss. They have gained a worldwide achievement which will be admired by all.”
“StarFire squad, Leader: Starfire, Members: TwinkleBeauty, BlueDreamer, GoodDreamJia, LilRainDrop has successfully slain the Troll Priest, Scargil. Their bravery has earned them the honor which further elevates their race’s reputation and will be respected in years to come.”
The bedazzling colorful banner had blinded every online player.
“It’s StarFire again, he isn’t backing down anytime soon.”
“Worship the Great God StarFire.”
“Please accept my knee.”
“I’m a pretty lady. I beg that the great StarFire carry me to fight Bosses.”
Not just ordinary players, major guilds and clubs were stirred into a pot of mess. They contacted members from Qionghua Club to ask if StarFire had joined Qionghua Club.
After they had received a ‘no’, many guilds were relieved. StarFire was too powerful, they were trying to figure out ways to bring him under their command.
Members of the squad were overjoyed, especially Li Jia, LilRainDrop and BlueDreamer. They had leveled up to Level 4. This proved that the Level 4 Boss provided a lot of Exp.
Seeing the 14% increase in his Exp bar, Li Yao was considering whether to find a way to kill Bosses to level up, which was way more efficient than farming Exp from grinding mobs.
A roar disrupted the good mood of the squad.
“Why, why wasn’t my name shown on the banner? I joined in killing the Boss too.”
DragonOfFourSeas’s eyes were reddened. That was a world announcement, a first kill, which could make anyone famous, but his name was not on it.
BlueDreamer was also puzzled, yet she frowned at him. “Why are you yelling at us? It isn’t up to us to decide on the world announcement, it is the system. It doesn’t care if the player wants to be famous or not, it can’t even hide the player names. Blame it on the system if you want.”
“Yes, blame it on the system.” Dragon contacted the customer service, but it was not their job to handle this sort of problem.
To put it bluntly, customer service served to clear up people’s doubts and questions related to the game. It was not possible for them to resolve system issues. Not to mention, even high-ranking administrators in the company or managers of any district did not have the right to change the data and numbers in the game.
Since the mainframe came out, it had been running on its own and was locked up in some secretive place where even the head of state could not interfere, let alone customer service.
It could be said that any game version updates or data maintenance was controlled solely by the system itself. The company had only obtained some independent rights to the game, but they could not hold competitions, use the game’s venue or change the game data.
“What kind of crappy game is this? There is a game bug and the company does not care at all. F*ck!” Dragon was furious.
It was normal for him to be furious. He had died twice in the game today and all of the Hunter’s loots would belong to Li Yao. Besides, his name was not included in the world announcement. It was simply too miserable for him to handle.
Seeing Dragon being so mad, Li Yao was a little absentminded. “Actually, there is a good explanation for this. After you have died, you did not enter into combat mode. The system has decided that you’re just a bystander.”
“I could’ve joined the fight if the poisonous mist had not blocked my way. Knowing full well that I was dead, all of you did not wait for me and the valley entrance was blocked. You did it on purpose!” Dragon glared angrily at Li Yao. “I knew that you disliked me since the beginning. You’re the leader, you did this on purpose, you planned all this! You got me killed and blocked the valley entrance…”
Li Yao was dumbfounded. He led the squad here because there was a graveyard nearby, he had accounted for the time and distance needed for revive. It was obvious that Dragon had purposely dallied around so he could get the final bow on the Boss, but failed. In the end, he was blamed for setting him up. Since his rebirth, he could care less about setting up such a little prick, he was not worthy of his time.
BlueDreamer lost her temper and cursed again, “What the hell is wrong with you? You died, and you expect us to wait for you? Tell me, how are we supposed to wait? Teach us, let me learn, dumb*ss.”
“Good, good for you. We’re from the same guild, yet you’re siding with the stranger. Good, I’m going to report this to the guild president and manager, you b*tches. I was kind enough to save you all, but I lost two levels and all of you’re not grateful at all. Instead, all of you targeted me! Bunch of poorly raised stinking b*tches, just you wait!”
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly disappeared. The system had forced him to go offline for using too much profanity.
The rest of the squad was petrified.
“Such talent.” Li Yao shook his head without any comments. After all, this was a personal matter amongst the guild members.
“Ugh, what can I say, the boss is here next to us. Yet, he wants to look for the president and manager…” BlueDreamer was speechless.
“Didn’t Sister say that club and guild matters are left to the president and manager? Is it wrong of him to look for them?” LilRainDrop asked.
Li Yao facepalmed himself. This player would soon become the goddess of walkthroughs and respected by many players for writing down countless task walkthroughs. How could she be so innocent…
“Silly girl.” Dreamer did not know what to say. There was nothing for them to handle.
Just then, President Xue Mei gave TwinkleBeauty a call. Twinkle did not try to hide anything, instead she accepted the call through the team voice chat.
“Boss, what happened, why did Dragon say so many nasty things? Oh ya, how did you get to know StarFire? Are you trying to draw the club closer? This world announcement is too important to us. We’ve tried to kill this Boss countless of times but failed, but you took care of it in one go.”
BlueDreamer wanted to cover her face. DragonOfFourSeas was in deep trouble now, he did not know the real identity of the person he was going to blackmail.
“Next time, do not recruit players from Shengshi, remember that. As for StarFire, we met by coincidence. I’m afraid he’s not interested in joining our guild. Ok, that’s all, we should check out the Boss’s loot.” Twinkle said.
“No, please don’t hang up. Boss, please let me see this person,” said Xue Mei hurriedly. TwinkleBeauty added Xue Mei into the team.
Twinkle turned to Li Yao, “Leader, you should search the body. I wouldn’t want the loot to be refreshed.”
None of them mentioned about DragonOfFourSeas, but they knew he was in deep trouble. The person he tried to blackmail was the boss, and now he was hated by the boss.
Even if they had a choice, the president or manager would not dare have such person in their club even if he had the skills or ability.
LI Yao nodded and began searching the corpse under the squad’s anticipation. The first dropped item appeared.
Silver-scaled Breastplate
Grade: Blue (rare)
Armor: 46
Endurance: 9
Strength: 4
Equipment Level: 4
Equipment Class: Knight, Warrior, Death Knight
“The equipment’s Stats are too impressive!” Xue Mei exclaimed.
“This is a high-quality equipment for a MT, with super high defense and attributes.” BlueDreamer said.
“Since there is only one knight in the squad, this breastplate should belong to Twinkle, is everyone okay with that?” Li Yao asked.
