Chapter 443 - assassin's Sangfroid

Level 60 was already the highest level that a wild BOSS could reach BOSSES that were even stronger than this level could only be encountered during quests or could only appear as a result of plot-related interactions It was ruer, and more likely to have better loot However, their whereabouts were like legends that would require players to meet certain criteria just to meet them, so it was far more infrequent to bump into them than wild BOSSES

Wild BOSSES in Parallel World had been specifically programed to be mobile This was done to prevent situations like players for in a set spot fro up This also meant that BOSSES from all the various levels were unlike the usualabout

As a result, there were players who questioned just what the low-level players should do if this sort of high-level BOSSES ended up wandering into a lower-level grinding ame officials was like an heartless derision: ”What else can players do but avoid it as best as they can After all, it will always be roa, so it will definitely leave after a short while”

There was even a legend in the ga the open beta days, when the levels of players were still rather low, a roa soates Countless players had no idea what toon thereafter, and each of theht toward the city But just as the players panicked and thought that a uards by the gate were mobilized and easily wiped out this BOSS in two or three hits

Players learned two things from this anecdote

The first was that the NPC guards were very strong A conservative estiuards were at the same tier as a BOSS; thus, nobody dared to offend them afterward

The second was that a BOSS killed by NPC guards would still drop loot, and it was a rather a drop to boot It attracted plenty of players around to snatch it for themselves No one had any idea as the person that ended up with the dropped item, but any peak expert that appeared fro suspected by the entire city After that, there were always players that would have ill designs for it assassinating and backstabbing, the subsequent bloodshed fro a violent i the city's denizens

The naend was called Yueye

It was only when soroup and quickly developed it into the strongest guild in Yueye City, before proceeding to bully all the players until they did not dare to speak or even rage against themThat hen everybody realized that this person, who had been hiding and had never shown the depths of his strength before suddenlya break for dominance over the entire city, was the real lucky recipient of the loot frouards and the BOSS The name of this man who hit the jackpot was none other than Silver Moon

Just a high-level BOSS accidentally wandering into a city gate had caused so much complications for an entire city The jury was still out on whether the introduction of this 'roa feature' was a boon or a bane Nevertheless, there were no other incidents where high-level BOSSES wandered into a city gate, and the officials subsequently accepted the players' suggestion to limit the BOSSES' movement, such that they would notso it would at least be able to spend tier about

Afterward, players would often praise the BOSSES in this ga the endless expanse of the grinding maps in this VR world

The BOSSES in Parallel World were elusive to players, but the Shadowmist assassin was an exception This was because its backstory was someone who had lost its way The most common phenomenon for someone who had lost their as to find their way back to where they had co they had walked, and this was exactly what the Shadowh it was not so bad as if it alking in circles in one spot, its speed of advancement was very slow at the very least Thus, after Limp Hands located it, they were still able to come back to the same spot and bump into this wild BOSS

”Hey, make way; letthese players take on the BOSS, so Ye Xiaowu had to jostle and squeeze his way to the front The fog around Xiawu City was not present on theirscreen, and they were able to zoom in and out the scene at will At the moment, the display was zoomed out so as to take in the entire spectacle Ye Xiaowu could clearlyaround in the fog, while the players not too far aere on full alert

”Who's got the aggro?” Ye Xiaowu asked this question As a ganer, he knew the most unique characteristic of the Shadow a lost soul, the other unique characteristic it had was how it handled threat The range of its aggro was huge, but as ro for threat after it locked on to the first player it caught sight of This et it had set eyes on was killed, the Shadowe This also ro could be reset or be removed

”So, there's no way to re team were also aware of the Shadowmist assassin's unique characteristic, so they immediately posited this question to confirner Ye Xiaowu

”There are tays: kill the Shadow out,” Ye Xiaowu answered

Everybody was quiet Those options were no different froro

They had intentionally for precisely to counter the current MMO style of pulling BOSSES and e dealers safely due

You wish to draw the BOSS's aggro? Fine, we shall save you the trouble by setting our Shadow for you; there's no way for you to change it even if you want to, anyway

You wish to concentrate all the threat on to your best tanker? Once said player can no longer hold on, our Shadowet and attack accordingly Any skill that was able to generate threat will be rendered useless by it

This was an extren, and this hy Ye Xiaowu and his fellow designers had dubbed this aggro formula, which was unique to the Shadowfroid' How should players deal with this sort of design? Even the designers the this sort of problem for the players to solve seemed to be where these people find the joy in their work

This hat made Ye Xiaowu feel extremely excited theto take on the Shadowmist assassin However, he was beyond astonished once he learned that none had died despite this going on for quite a while

That hen somebody pointed toward the gro ”That's the guy”

The display on the monitor was reduced in size, so Ye Xiaowu could only e decked in black robe The person's faceuy?

Ye Xiaowu zooht of this to himself
