Chapter 383: Titan Barrier (1/2)
”What? Beauty Lin became a Famous General?” Xu Yang exclaimed in shock.
Li Chengfeng sucked in a deep breath and said, ”What an incredible female gamer. Not only is she the second Famous General of Sky City, she’s probably the third player to complete her fourth promotion quest in China, isn’t she?”
Gui Guzi nodded. ”Mn. Wind Fantasy is an incredibly skillful and intelligent player. Her combat tactics are pretty unique as well. Back when I first ran into her Floating Ice City, my chances of winning against her were less than 10%. She was the one who PK’d me from first place all the way out of Floating Ice City’s Heavenly Ranking…”
A meaningful smile crossed Du Thirteen’s lips. ”What are you talking about, Little Gui? Your chances of winning against Wind Fantasy are still less than 10%, just like before...”
Gui Guzi teared up immediately. ”Fuck you, Brother B! You didn’t need to say the truth to my face…”
Du Thirteen laughed heartlessly. ”Kakakakaka…”
……
Still fighting against the boss, I brought up the Famous General Ranking. As I thought, the first three IDs at the top were inked in gold, and they were of course Candlelight Shadow, I and Lin Yixin. Candlelight Shadow’s Famous General Skill was Ghost God Prophecy, mine was Martial God, and Lin Yixin’s was Bombshell. When I checked the description of her skill, I was stunned by how powerful it was—
Bombshell: Beseech the power of the goddess and increase the stats of all party members within 1000 yards by 25%. Costs 1 MP per second. Skill exclusive to player ”Wind Fantasy”.
……
Fuck! What… what is this? Increase the stats of all party members by 25%? Does that mean that everyone’s Attack, Defense, Agility, HP, Magic Resist and so on would all be increased by 25%?
I sucked in a deep breath. As the skill name might suggest, Lin Yixin’s Famous General Skill really was a bombshell. My Martial God might be the best skill in the entire world if we looked at grinding efficiency alone, but in terms of PvP there was nothing stronger than Lin Yixin’s Bombshell. To have all stats increased by 25% was like having a superbard following you wherever you went. It was just awesome!
He Yi smiled. ”Things are getting more and more interesting. The Guild Wars haven’t even begun yet, and there are three Famous Generals in China’s servers already. This level of competition is simply incredible.”
Xu Yang grinned. ”Candlelight Shadow must be feeling a ton of pressure right now, isn’t he? Wind City is now outnumbered 2 to 1 in terms of the number of Famous Generals.”
But Li Chengfeng said, ”Not necessarily. I’ve met Candlelight Shadow before, and I know him as an arrogant man whose blood pumps harder the stronger his opponents become. People like him are incredibly difficult to deal with.”
Li Chengfeng pondered for a moment before answering, ”To be honest, not really. I would be lucky to have even a 30% chance of winning!”
”What?” Xu Yang exclaimed in shock. ”Is Candlelight Shadow really that powerful?”
”Of course. He isn’t called the number one player in China for nothing, you know.”
……
I ignored their conversation and focused most of my attention on the boss. At the same time, I sent a call request. A couple seconds later, Lin Yixin’s melodious voice came from the other side of the communicator. ”How is it? My Famous General Skill didn’t disappoint you, did it?”
I asked in a strange tone, ”Of course not. In fact, I want to ask you if a GM of the game happens to be a relative of yours.”
”Of course not!”
”How many Tactics do you have right now, Yiyi?”
”64. What’s wrong?”
”Mn, that means Bombshell adds around 41% to every stat. That’s seriously incredible. Let’s find a day to kill some bosses together. Increased HP, increased Defense, increased crit rate, et cetera... This skill is just perfect for killing bosses!”
”Hehe, sure. Let’s do that when we’re both free!”
I turned off the communicator and turned my attention back on the boss again!
About five minutes later, the Desert Giant King used its stupidly powerful Blazing Rock skill again. This time, the bastard killed almost 400 players before we finally stopped it. Thankfully, the Level 140 Spirit Rank boss had lost most of its HP, and our torment was nearing its end. My heart rate seemed to increase at the same rate the boss was losing its health!
”2%! Eve, now’s the time! Everyone, stop attacking! Priests, keep the guild leader healed at all costs!”
I hollered before dishing one last combo to drop the boss's HP to 1%. I watched its health pool closely as He Yi ran over to delete its last sliver of HP!
My beautiful guild leader hit the boss with an Ice Ray + Heavy Slash right from the start!
2304!
2271!
Not bad. The Soul Stealing Spear was a Purple Gold–grade weapon with amazing Attack after all!
The boss looked away from me and turned to attack He Yi instead, but thankfully her health pool and Defense were good enough to tank the boss without dying instantly. Behind her, the guild’s priests also did their best to keep her healthy!
He Yi’s DPS just barely exceeded the boss's regen, so it took another excruciating seven or eight minutes for her to finally kill it with a Green Wave Slash. It was as if a volcano was crumbling when the Level 140 Spirit Rank boss howled in despair and collapsed. Burning hot lava and a bunch of equipment and items piled across the ground.
……
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh...
A column of light flashed around He Yi several times in a row, and He Yi was overjoyed to find herself sitting at Level 99. She looked at me excitedly while declaring, ”I’m Level 99 and 57% full right now! I should be able to do my fourth promotion quest in two days max!”
