Pupil looked at Li Yao and Qin Feng Yi finishing off the last elite mob, and complained with a grim face, “Leveling up is so difficult, I have not even reached half of the experience points required yet.”
Hearing Pupil’s complaint, Shadow Dance, who hadn’t earned much experience from the start, wanted to cry but couldn’t, “I also want to complain like that, but I don’t have the opportunity yet.”
“What are you mumbling about, just pick up the loot.” Pupil was immediately unhappy.
Shadow Dance had no words, did not dare to refute, and hurriedly went to loot the last corpse.
Li Yao was resting on the third platform, and he was already used to this weird behavior, “Almost there, we are about to end it, so tiring.”
“There’s still one boss left, big brother, have you thought about how to deal with this guy?” asked the foolishly cute Pupil.
This boss, although humanoid in shape, was not small in size, at least twice as high as the average High Elf, and was extremely strong, at least physically speaking, much stronger than the Arcane Guardian.
Perhaps due to the influence of the Sunwell mutation or originally being a test subject of the academy, his arms had disappeared, turned into two huge blades. He was currently sitting on the large chair in the innermost part of the hall, crossing his arms. Just seeing him, one could feel an extremely domineering aura.
Li Yao silently looked at the boss’s information.
Fallen Tyrant
Rank: Level 12 Low-level Boss
Life: 88,000
Skills: Chaotic Blade Dance, Assault, Death Strangle, Flame Seal. Spider Shape: Poison Bomb, Death Spider Web, Swinging Murder, Self-Destruction Spider, Poison Stinger.
Li Yao was not intimidated by the boss’s series of skills. Compared to the next bosses, these low-level bosses are simply child’s play.
The bosses later on become more and more powerful and intelligent. They not only have strong attributes, but also have more skills than players. Of course, this boss also has more skills than the current players.
This is the boss template setting, a boss is a boss. Unlike in previous online games where a powerful boss just had a few skills, it was simply a dumb brute with a lot of health…
“This boss is not easy to handle, it should have a high level of intelligence. The method used for the last boss is not possible for this one.” Qin Feng Yi analysed.
“I know, but it’s not a big deal. I’m just worried about one thing.” Li Yao said, frowning.
“What, tell us now, let’s think of a solution together.” The cute Pupil said, looking up.
“As you all have seen, the method I used last time is called interrupting, but the premise for interrupting is, you at least need to have the ability to interrupt the skills. In my understanding, the so-called interrupting actually means breaking the defense. You should know, slaying mobs three levels higher than you, your damage will be greatly reduced. For mobs five levels higher, their avatars would be marked with a skull, meaning they are invincible.” Li Yao explained slowly.
Qin Feng Yi frowned, “Are you worried about not being able to break this boss’s defense?”
Li Yao nodded, “Exactly. This boss is seven levels higher than us, and there is also a rank difference. So our current level can be considered as first rank. The previous judgement was for normal mobs, not to mention this boss. If we can’t break the defense, naturally we can’t successfully interrupt the skills. Of course, this is just my speculation based on previous information, I’m not sure.”
“There’s not enough time to level up.” Pupil thought worriedly.
“Right, if the equipment improved and attributes increased, the weakening effect would decrease.” Qin Feng Yi took out a chest Armor from her bag and handed it to Li Yao, “This is a chest Armor I replaced for you, but definitely not as good as the Skill Book.”
Superior Chest Armor
Lining: Leather Armor
Quality: Blue Superior
Armor: 19
Strength: 9
Agility: 8
Equip Job: Rogue, Hunter, Martial Monk, Druid
Equip Level: 5
“That’s enough, our matters are counted separately.” Li Yao directly put on the chest Armor. His own armor was part of a set, but after all, it was white equipment. And since he had already changed a lot of green equipment, the set effect had disappeared. The attribute has increased significantly after the switch.
“Then, big brother, we also have cleared it.” Pupil pitifully passed a pair of gloves, “My item is not as good as Xiayao’s chest armor, but big brother will definitely not mind, right?”
Military Gloves
Lining: Leather Armor
Quality: Blue Superior
Armor: 12 Strength: 8
Agility: 6
Class Requirement: Rogue, Hunter, Martial Monk, Druid
Item Level: 4
Li Yao took the gloves with a smile, “But you didn’t say that yesterday.”
“We weren’t in the same party yesterday,” Dumb Eye rolled her eyes at Li Yao, “And you weren’t saying that to Xiayao either.”
“That’s a good point,” agreed Li Yao.
Li Yao swapped his green gloves with the new ones, chuckling under his breath.
“Leader, I also have a Blue Equipment you can use,” offered Shadow Dance.
“As long as it can break the defense, I’m happy. I don’t ask for much. As long as the damage isn’t 1, it’s good enough. Even if the attributes are high, it won’t cause significant damage to him,” said Li Yao.
Li Yao wasn’t being polite to Shadow Dance but came to this conclusion based on their respective attributes. He didn’t find it challenging being a reincarnate. At this stage, players simply haven’t developed the concept yet due to the scant available data and lack of solid theory.
“Yeah, right! You think you can kill the boss without breaking its defense? Just because you soloed the boss before you think you’re god or something?”
“What nonsense! If you can’t defeat the boss, just scram! Stop acting like you know all that, like your analysis made some sense.”
“Prairie Fire is too arrogant. Here you are, analyzing and deducing like it’s nothing. The world has so many better analysts than you, and yet, here you are.”
“He’s so full of himself.
“Can’t believe TV stations would broadcast someone like him.” “He’s too arrogant. He’s heading for disaster.”
“Can’t wait to see how he’s gonna wriggle his way out of this.”
Righteous criticism from viewers was drowned the moment trolls showed up in the live chat – those displeased with Li Yao’s success, adversaries from the Prosperous Era and Free Wander studios, pure internet trolls and uneducated instigators.
Tian Na never expected this backlash. She quickly switched to another scene and tried to ease the atmosphere, “The chat seems pretty heated… KB, what do you think about this situation?”
KB replied seriously, “Everyone’s entitled to their own opinions, it’s not my place to judge. While he is a miracle-maker, the gap just seems insurmountable for now.’
“According to Prairie Fire, he still intends to go solo against the boss. What if the other members temporarily disengage? Wouldn’t that reduce the boss’s HP?” asked Tian Na.
KB responded, “That’s not possible. Even though it’s not a dungeon, the rules are different. Their party consists of four adventurers. Adding a member increases the boss’s stats, but removing one doesn’t decrease its HP.”
“So you are not optimistic about Prairie Fire’s chances.”
KB shrugged, “I do hold him in high regard, but the boss has nearly 90,000 HP. It’s not something that you can take down with a few attacks. With the execution of defense breaks demanding precise timing, he needs to do it over two hundred times successfully. Do you think it’s possible?”
It was then that Tian Na realized the gravity of the situation. More than two hundred successful defense breaks without getting hit even once, it was hard. Extremely hard.
On the other platform, Feng Yi voiced out the same opinion. “This is extremely difficult.
“Big brother, the viewers in the live room are all looking down on you. Aren’t you going to say something?” Dumb Eye asked angrily.
Li Yao, while checking his backpack, said, “Why bother with those trolls? Here’s what we’re going to do. Set up a bet. Whoever bets ten gold coins against us, if I fail to kill this boss, I’ll provide a guide to kill a field boss privately. Those who have guts should participate. Those who don’t should stop being a keyboard warrior. It’s disgusting.”
Upon seeing Li Yao’s serious demeanor, Feng Yi immediately set up a betting pool and regulated it. “You are still getting more haters.”
Li Yao glanced at the hateful comments – people mocking him for being shameless and deluded. After a few glances, he closed the livestream, “Ignore these people. Is a field boss not worth ten thousand credit points? It just brings down IQ to even bother about them. I’ll wait for ten minutes before I start attacking the boss.”
Li Yao underestimated the temptation of a field boss. Within five minutes, more than a thousand gold coins were bet and the number was increasing rapidly.
“Big brother, are you really confident?” Dumb Eye was shocked.
“It’s quite challenging, but that’s what makes it fun, isn’t it?” Li Yao closed his backpack, speaking with a hint of excitement….
