"Ms. Wanxing, why do you play this game? Oh, Fantasy is indeed fun, but I always feel that you have a special obsession with this game, otherwise you wouldn't be so angry about the account."
Wanxing glanced at me and said, "Of course there is a reason, but why should I tell you?"
"Haha, isn't it good to just chat casually? It's okay to level up alone, but if two people team up and don't talk, don't you feel bored ?"
…
After a moment of silence, Wan Xing said, "I can't tell you the most fundamental reason. What I can tell you is that when I asked Grandpa for that account, I made a bet with him: If I use this account to play this game, I will definitely be the best, and I won't use my wealth and power in real life. Of course, there will be special gains if I play well, but I can't make this public now. If you can achieve that in the future, you will know. After Grandpa gave you the No. 1 account, the bet could not be carried out, so Grandpa gave me the current account and changed the condition to that I can become the best thief in the game."
"I see... Miss Wanxing, it must be difficult to level up this character. To be honest, I admire you for leveling up so quickly."
"Humph, of course. Sister Fang leads me pretty fast, not much slower than you."
Sister Fang? The information Wanxing accidentally revealed aroused my great interest. Is she a female player? She is not much slower than me. She is amazing! I would like to meet such a person!
"Oh? Who is so capable? You know my account. It's probably not that easy to get close to me, right?"
"Tsk, you're not the only lucky account. Besides, Sister Fang has a special fate, so of course she's amazing. If she wasn't online as much as you are, I wouldn't need you to guide her!"
Hehe, the little girl is really inexperienced. I just used a provocative tone to get the words out of her. Then I asked her again and saw what kind of opportunities they had. Maybe I would encounter one too. Wouldn’t I be more powerful then?
"Impossible? Could it be that she encountered a hidden mission and got a magic weapon? No, what kind of magic weapon can be equipped at this level? I don't believe it, you are lying to me. If there is such a master, he should have been on the list long ago. How come I have never seen him before?"
Wan Xing got anxious and blurted out, "Why would I lie to you? Of course Sister Fang is on the list, and she's ranked first...ah, why should I tell you? Oh no, I promised Sister Fang not to tell anyone about her. I've already told you too much. Huh? Ah! You're trying to trick me! You..."
Wan Xing was so angry that she couldn't speak. Naturally, I was laughing like a fox... We have obtained enough information. As long as we pay attention, it is not difficult to find out the identity of the "Sister Fang". This matter is not urgent. However, after chatting for a few sentences, the little girl looked much better. She should have forgotten her fear, or at least distracted her attention, right?
"Okay, okay, then don't talk about her. I'm still number one anyway, right?" As I spoke, I stabbed the bloodthirsty demon spear into the throat of a corrosive corpse ghost and took a step back to avoid being splashed by the venom of its self-explosion before death.
"Humph, look at how proud you are. The second place is not far behind you. He may surpass you at any time!"
Speaking of the second place, I was moved. That orc is too abnormal. I noticed that his leveling speed is very uniform and has never stopped. That is to say, he has been leveling up all the time. He is not like me who relies on the account to level up super fast, but the level is accumulated over time. Although it can be inferred that he should have additional points, but does he really not need to rest?
Thinking of this, I hesitated for a moment and said, "Ms. Wanxing, I think there is something wrong with the second place - didn't New Era Company notice that the account was basically never offline?"
"Oh, I checked. That account is online for about 22 hours a day, which is a bit abnormal. But through the helmet, I checked his physical and mental condition and everything was fine. Fantasy does not limit the daily online time of players, so others are willing to be so crazy. The company can't do anything, so we can only ask the GM to remind him to take care of his health. Maybe he is a person with a special physique. But you are not bad either, right? It seems that you are online for more than 18 hours a day?"
On the contrary, this girl knows my situation very well. I need to sleep 4 hours a day, and after deducting the time for going offline to eat, go to the toilet, etc., I play for about 18 hours a day.
"Hey, you checked my data? That's against the rules of the game, right?"
"Humph, who violated the rules? The top master of the fantasy level is naturally more noticeable. Besides, what if I know your data? Without legal procedures, no one, including company personnel, can change the data privately."
"But you used this data against me. You didn't participate in the internal test, did you? Then you probably didn't know me before, but you knew this account was mine right away and stole my equipment. And how did you know I was in the city on the 11th? Don't say it was a coincidence. That's basically impossible."
Wan Xing blushed and whispered, "It's not me who wants to check your data... Grandpa checked it, I just accidentally saw it and knew that your name is Blood Sky, and I also knew that you have the Bloodthirsty Demon Spear. Although my character level is low and I can't see your name and information, but it's a dark gold equipment and a spear, which is very conspicuous. Besides, the first knight with a mount in Fantasy rode a black horse. With so many clues, it would be strange if I didn't recognize you. The data was really not about the 11th. Someone tipped me off as soon as you entered the city, so I followed you."
Oh, that makes sense. Ha, I never thought I was so famous. I have been keeping a low profile and have hidden all the information that can be hidden on the leaderboard, but my identity is still easily discovered.
"Well, okay, let's not talk about the past... Damn it!" Damn, I was so busy talking that I didn't notice that two corpse witches had spawned. As a result, the zombies around me were alive and dead, dead and alive again. This kind of tossing is unbearable for both humans and monsters. I rushed forward and killed the corpse witch with a few shots. Looking back at Wanxing, she was running circles with three zombies. It seems that this girl is completely normal. As long as she uses the flexibility of a thief, she should be in no danger.
After killing all the monsters in this area and taking a breath, I saw that Wanxing looked normal again. I couldn't help but want to stimulate her again, so I asked, "Miss Wanxing, although you are not required to kill monsters, you can also use stealing. The monsters here are of high level and have good stuff on them, such as bone charms, corpse poison, zombie teeth, etc., which are quite valuable! Didn't you say that the money spent in the game should be earned by yourself? This is a good opportunity!"
When Wan Xing heard this, her beautiful facial features wrinkled together and she said angrily, "I won't steal from such a disgusting monster!"
I said seriously, "Miss Wanxing, since you are playing this game for a certain purpose, and you have set rules for yourself and established goals in the game, then you can be considered a half-professional player. Unlike ordinary players, professional players cannot decide how to play the game based on their own likes and dislikes, but play the best way possible. If your goal is to become the best thief, then you have to steal zombies no matter how disgusting they are. First, it is very difficult to make money in Fantasy. Since you don't use real money, you can't miss any opportunity to make money, otherwise when no one is around, you will be in trouble. When I lead you to level up, what if you have to level up by yourself but don’t have money to buy medicine? Or what if you want to buy a certain equipment item but don’t have money? Second, excellence means doing better than others. Now I lead you, and you level up quickly, but if your skills are not up to par, you are not a great thief. Are you sure that other thieves don’t have friends to lead them? They level up while stealing, so do their skills improve faster than you? Third, if a special mission item is on a zombie and must be obtained by stealing, but you dare not do it because you feel disgusted, then you are an unqualified and failed thief! "
After hearing what I said, Wan Xing was stunned for a long while, then he came to his senses and said, "I've learned a lot! The number one expert, your insights are indeed extraordinary. That's right, if I keep being like this, I will never be a successful thief."
As I was talking, the monsters respawned again. I blocked the zombies and the magic spear in my hand flew up and down like a rainbow, preventing the monsters from crossing the line. At the same time, I said in a deep voice: "Wanxing, the opportunity has come!"
Wanxing took a deep breath, suppressed her disgust for zombies, targeted a corrosive corpse, used the "stealing" skill, and her whole body seemed to turn into a wisp of light smoke. She flashed beside the corpse and returned to her original place. She had empty hands, obviously she didn't succeed, but she squatted down and vomited with a "wow".
What a fierce girl! I thought she would choose a zombie that looked a little "normal" to practice first, and then steal other species after a period of adaptation. I didn't expect her to target the most disgusting corroded ghouls right away. It was obvious that she meant "if you want to do it, start with the hardest one." This kind of courage is hard for me to have!
I quickly dealt with the zombie in front of me, walked to Wanxing, patted her shoulder, and sighed, "You don't have to be so reluctant, take your time. I feel uncomfortable looking at that kind of corrupted corpse ghost, let alone you. Don't steal that thing yet, okay?"
After dry heaving for a while - luckily the dream was not a complete simulation of reality, otherwise Wanxing would have vomited all over - Wanxing raised his head, but he was already listless and said: "Wu... It was nothing, but when I touched that thing when I was stealing, it felt slippery, as if pus had stained my hand... Ugh... You don't have to persuade me, I'm fine, I'll be fine in a while... Ugh... I won't admit defeat, I will definitely steal something from the corpse ghost..."
Damn, she really persisted to the end!
In this way, she would steal once, stop to vomit for a while, and then steal again. I have to admire Wanxing's persistence. Fortunately, after dozens of times, she gradually got used to it. Although her face was still so ugly, she no longer had the vomiting reaction.
However, it is not so easy to steal things from a ghoul - the drop rate of a ghoul's items is about 1/200. According to the general success rate of theft, Wanxing would have to try nearly 2,000 times to steal an item, right?
Maybe she was lucky… After stealing only 500 or 600 times, she suddenly shouted excitedly: "I succeeded , I succeeded! Look, I stole the corpse Gu!"
Qian Qian Wan Xing proudly spread out her right hand to me, in her hand was a white pigeon egg-sized oblong egg capsule, this thing is corpse Gu, a rare material for refining medicine, if sold to a senior pharmacist , with different prescriptions, it can be made into "corpse control pills", "corpse pills" or "avoiding filth powder", each with its own magical use, for example, after taking the corpse control pills, if you die in battle, you can control the corpse to continue fighting for five minutes, and then completely die and reborn; the corpse pill is a deadly poison; and the avoidance of filth powder can be taken without fear of corpse poison within a certain time limit. It's a pity that there is no such high-level pharmacist yet, but even if you sell it to the NPC of the system pharmacy, after deducting the consumption of magic medicine, you can earn more than a dozen gold coins!
After succeeding once, Wanxing was greatly encouraged. Besides, he had gotten used to stealing after so long, no matter how disgusting it was. He no longer had to specifically target the corrosive corpses, he could just steal from any corpse he saw! After he succeeded in stealing again and obtained a ring, a smile gradually spread across Wanxing's face.
It was almost noon, so I stopped and asked Wanxing, "Do you want to log off and eat?"
Wan Xing said unhappily, "I can't eat anymore... Although I don't feel very bad now, I will definitely feel sick if I eat. What about you? If you want to log off, then go ahead. You can come back online this afternoon and continue to guide me."
I smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I have a big appetite? In fact, I probably can't even eat dinner. But my character's hunger is almost at its limit. I originally brought dry food and planned to eat at the leveling point, but this doesn't look like a good dining environment. Well, let's go back to the city for lunch. I'll treat you. Just consider it as my apology for causing you to lose your appetite."
After returning to Shenghua City, he came to Taibai Restaurant and sat down in a private room. Just as he was about to ask the waiter to take his order, Wanxing frowned and said, "I really don't have any appetite at all, but the system stipulates that if the hunger level drops below the warning line, it will affect the attributes. Well, just order some easy-to-swallow food to fill your stomach."
I thought about it, stood up and said, "You sit here for a while, you will feel better if you drink some tea. I'm going to go out for a while, and you can order food when I come back."
A few minutes later, I hurried back to the restaurant, called the waiter and ordered, "Give me one hydrangea scallop, one wild spiny dragon sprout, one straw mushroom and broccoli, and one golden scale and silver thread!"
"Hey, what are you doing?" Wan Xing asked, "You ordered so much, can you eat it? Besides, there's seafood... I'm already nauseous, and the smell of the sea makes me feel sick... Can you change to lighter dishes?"
"Haha, Miss Wanxing, I promise you will enjoy this meal very much..."
I turned over my palm and suddenly, as if by magic, two small crystal bottles appeared in my palm.
"Monkey wine!" Wan Xing recognized it and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing. I think this fine wine is enough to whet your appetite." As I said that, I opened the cork. The aroma filled the air, instantly dispelling the uncomfortable feeling in my stomach.
"Didn't you give me a bottle? This is..."
"Haha, that bottle is a deal between you and me, and this bottle is a gift from me to you."
"Give it to me?" Wan Xing was surprised. "You're giving me something so expensive? I heard that at yesterday's auction, the Monkey Wine was sold for a sky-high price of over 10,000 gold coins. That's a lot of money for you, right? You and I... don't seem to have such a good relationship yet?"
I smiled and said, "Even if it's for your goal... I admire you. There are not many girls who are good at playing games, and it's even rarer to set a goal like yours and work hard for it. Your performance this morning, if I were you, I might not be able to do it to that extent. I believe that you can achieve your wish, and this wine can help you. To be honest, I made a lot of money at the auction yesterday, enough to solve my life problems, however, this is largely due to the credit of this account; I am a professional player, and making money by playing games is my job, but after really making money, I feel like I have lost my goal... When I played other games before, making money was very, very hard, sometimes I had to squat at the Boss refresh point for several nights in a row I didn't get any equipment, but I felt that my life was fulfilling and happy at that time. Every time I got a piece of top-quality equipment, I felt so excited that I couldn't describe it. But now, I seem to be able to easily earn tens of thousands of gold coins, but I have lost that feeling... Today, I saw you constantly stealing zombies, looking frustrated when you failed and cheering when you succeeded. From you, I saw my past. I reflected on it carefully. In addition to making money, do I have other goals? Why is Zero Fantasy so good, but I can't devote myself to the game and enjoy the game like before? Maybe it's because my success came too easily? I think I should set a new goal for myself, a difficult and challenging goal. It was you who made me understand this, and this wine is to express my gratitude. "
I handed a bottle of monkey wine to Wanxing and raised the bottle to signal her. Wanxing hesitated for a moment, but still raised the bottle and clinked it with mine. Then we both raised our hands at the same time and poured the wine in the bottle into our throats.
An extremely refreshing fragrance goes straight into the throat, and then a warmth rises in the stomach. After this warmth circulates in the abdomen, the chest feels cool and comfortable, and the fragrance lingers between the teeth and cheeks. This fragrance is very unique, like the fragrance of flowers and fruits, layered, fascinating, and long aftertaste.
"Good wine!" I praised loudly, "It is worthy of being one of the four great wines. This wine should only be found in heaven. How many times can we taste it in this world?"
Wan Xing smiled sweetly and drank a mouthful of wine. Two blushes rose on her jade-like cheeks. Her eyes were full of light and she chanted in a low voice: "In August, we peel the jujubes and in October, we harvest the rice. I am drinking this spring wine to celebrate your birthday."
Huh? I didn't realize that this young lady has such talent! These four lines come from the Book of Songs, Binfeng, July. The original meaning is to celebrate birthdays with wine brewed from jujube and rice. Here, "celebrating birthdays" is obviously a metaphor for the magical effect of monkey wine in adding attributes, which implies gratitude.
I said in harmony, "Let's drink together and feast together, and kill a lamb. Let's clink glasses with each other, and wish you a long life!" This means that we share two bottles of wine, and kill a lamb as a side dish, and raise our glasses to toast each other, and wish you a long life. This is the host's answer to the guests.
The two looked at each other and smiled. This was truly a relationship without any grudges. All the grudges from the past disappeared into thin air.
I smiled and said, "Wanxing, I actually want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to taste this fine wine. You know? The moment I got the Monkey Wine, I had to work really hard to resist the urge to drink it, but then I got lost in the money it brought me and never thought about trying a bottle myself. But through you, I rekindled my passion for the game... I figured it out. Since I have the opportunity to get this priceless wine, why not taste it? Even if it's so expensive, if you invest in the game, shouldn't you experience everything you experience in the game? And now, I'm sure my choice is right. If I hadn't tasted it myself, I would never have been able to imagine the wonderful feeling of Monkey Wine."
"Okay, you're such a weird person. You have to give a lot of reasons for everything. I won't think so much. I'll just do what I want to achieve. Let's eat. Hehe, this wine is really good. I've got a big appetite now!"
After the meal, Wanxing and I went to prepare separately, and then went to the dark cave to level up again. Since we are used to it, there is no need to change the location, and leveling here is the fastest!
I was still in the front, fighting hard to kill monsters, and Wanxing followed behind me, constantly using steal...
Finally, after Wanxing succeeded again, I couldn't help but ask, "Wanxing, what's your level of stealing skill? I always feel that your success rate is much higher than normal?"
"Hehe, of course. You don't know, that day Grandpa came home and told me that he gave away the No.1 account. I was so angry that I didn't talk to Grandpa for the whole day. Later, Grandpa promised to give me another lucky account. Well, it's this one now, 00008888888. This lucky account has a higher proportion in the first 5 million, about one in 100,000, and the rest is only one in a million. It is sandwiched between ordinary accounts and distributed to whoever is lucky enough can buy it, just like winning the lottery. Originally, the No.1 account was decided by the company's senior management to be reserved for Grandpa as a reward for his contribution to the development of the game. No one else could use their power to get the rest of the lucky accounts. Grandpa sent people to the black market to buy it at a high price, and it cost more than 1 million RMB to buy the account transfer rights from the player who bought this account. Of course, this one can't be compared with No.1, it only has 1 extra attribute, but the luck is the same as yours, +5 luck, both the equipment drop rate and the theft success rate are 50% higher than normal!"
"No wonder!" I said depressedly, "That day you stole from me for the first time, and you succeeded in one try. I was wondering where such a powerful thief could come from. It was so easy to steal from a top master like me."
"Haha, it was just a coincidence, just a coincidence. Didn't I fail to steal it the second time? The third time... oooh, I lost a lot."
"What did you lose? Oh, you used a sin-eliminating item. That's strange. The game has only been open for a short time. The 'Sin Pill' can only be dropped by monsters above level 60, and the drop rate is very low. How could you get it, and use it so many times?"
"Of course I can't get the Atonement Pill now, but I got the 'Absolution Talisman'..."
"The Pardon Talisman!" I said in surprise. The Pardon Talisman can be regarded as a top-level sin-eliminating item. The most important thing is that one talisman can be reused many times. Only three of these items appeared in the internal test, two of which were used by the top master "Baicheng Bifeng" at the time. He was a lone ranger and did not join a gang. I don't know why he made enemies with two small gangs. As a result, he single-handedly broke into the headquarters of the two factions. There were no masters in the two factions, and he killed them all over the ground and blood flowed like a river. You must know that unless you apply to the system for group battles, sieges, etc., PK will increase the sin value. The killing method like Baicheng is more than enough to be a wanted criminal dozens of times. However, with the Pardon Talisman, he didn't even have a red name! Although the sin value added by failed theft is more than that of killing, a Pardon Talisman is enough for Wanxing to steal hundreds of times without guilt. However, there has never been a clear statement about where the Pardon Talisman came from. Some say it was dropped by the super boss, and some say it was obtained by completing tasks...
"Well, when I first learned how to steal, I was curious and wanted to know if I could steal things from NPCs. So I went to find the Minister of Justice and used the stealing skill on him..."
"Ah! You are so brave! Stealing officials is not something that no one has done in the internal test. The result was that they were caught and beaten with a stick, and they had to spend three days in jail!"
"I only found out about it later! I didn't participate in the internal test, and I read a lot of the rules from the website forum. My grandfather didn't want to reveal the inside information to me. But I was lucky... because it was my first time using the stealing skill, and the NPC said that since it was my first offense, I could be exempted from punishment if I could atone for my sins."
"Eh? So... you have triggered a hidden mission?"
"Who said it wasn't? The NPC said that an evil dragon stole the treasure from the palace. If I can get the treasure back, I can be forgiven."
"Dragon? Oh my god... The lowest level ground dragon is also a level 70 monster. You're going to ask the dragon for treasures. Aren't you looking for death? What kind of crappy mission is this? How did you complete it?"
"That's right. I was stunned when I heard that. How could it be possible? Who would have known that the dragon that the NPC said took away the treasure lived in the Fire Dragon Cave?"
"Fire Dragon Cave... there's only one dragon living in there, right? Ah, A-rank Boss Fire Dragon King, you're so lucky!"
"But I had no choice! How much time would I have to waste by sitting in jail for three days? I had no choice but to try my luck in the Fire Dragon Cave. As a result, I found that this task was not very difficult. The Fire Dragon King was sleeping. As long as you don't attack it or touch its treasure, it will not wake up. It's just that the fire spirits that inhabit the Fire Dragon Cave are annoying. I was killed by them the first time I went there. Later, I asked Sister Fang for help. She asked a few friends to go with me. They blocked the fire spirits, and I kept using the stealing method on the Fire Dragon King, and finally stole the task items. Unfortunately, apart from the task items, you can't steal the treasures on the Fire Dragon King before he wakes up, otherwise I would have made a fortune."
"Hmm... what is the quest item? A treasure from the palace. It sounds great. Have you ever thought about taking this treasure and accepting the punishment?"
"Why haven't I thought of that?" Wan Xing said dejectedly, "But it's just a bundle, and it can't be opened. What's the use of it? I had to take it back and hand it in. But the reward is still pretty good, a sin pardon talisman and a heavenly silkworm treasure robe. It's a pity that you have to be level 30 to wear it."
"Haha, be content. According to my personal estimation, if you auction the Absolution Talisman, the price will be at least tens of thousands of gold coins. It is definitely a must-have item for PK, killing people and extorting equipment."
"So I've suffered a huge loss! I didn't know the true value of this thing at the time, and I wasted it all on you just to vent my anger, humph!"
Haha, it seems that Wanxing really suffered a loss. After all, she returned all the equipment she stole from me to me, which meant that her work was in vain.
But then again, the two bottles of monkey wine I gave her were worth more than the price of the forgiveness talisman.
As I was talking, I saw a zombie pounce on me, its pitch-black claws just about to touch my shoulder... I leaned to the side to avoid the zombie's claws, and stabbed out with a gun. I felt a sudden shock to my head, such a strong rebound force! Why is this feeling different from before?
System prompt: You have successfully attacked the Millennium Zombie, and the Millennium Zombie's life is reduced by 900.
Millennium zombie! Damn, it's a boss! There are two types of bosses on the fifth floor, the Millennium Zombie and the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh is easy to identify, wearing the royal costumes of the ancient Egyptian dynasty; the Millennium Zombie's appearance is not much different from ordinary zombies, except that it is slightly taller. The appearance of the zombie... Although I have long been accustomed to it, there is no need to appreciate it carefully, right? As a result, I was killed by this boss and buried in it without realizing it!
This guy is a few levels higher than the Skeleton General. He is made of iron and steel, invulnerable to swords and spears, extremely powerful, and spews corpse gas from his mouth. It is extremely smelly and poisonous. He is a very difficult monster. If it weren't for my Holy +1, I would not be able to break its defense. Now I can fight it. However, I made a mistake in not discovering its existence earlier. Now, in addition to the old zombie, there are many small monsters surrounding me. The situation is not favorable for me.
A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. Fighting head-on is a bad idea. Get out of here first!
I turned around and stabbed a few times, killing the two zombies behind me, but the back door was sold to the old zombie, and I took two claws. It hurt so much! My HP dropped by two-thirds in an instant!
While swallowing the Xiao Huan Dan, he rushed out of the monster's encirclement. Wan Xing was very alert and realized that something was wrong early, so he retreated to a distance.
A thousand-year-old zombie chased me closely, swinging its arms and hitting me on the head and face. Fortunately, zombie monsters are not very agile, so even though this boss was much faster than the monsters, it could only keep up with me. After I ran a few steps, I remembered an archer skill that I rarely used, "Acceleration". Although this skill is only level 0 because I have never practiced it, the faster the better in the current situation.
After using the acceleration, I was able to pull away from the old zombies a little bit... I started to circle around. Ha, the difference in movement speed was reflected, the monsters were separated, the old zombies could barely keep up with me, but the corroded zombies and the like were left far behind. The slowest ground zombie, I had to run a big circle before it crawled more than ten meters, and I got around from behind and shot it to death on the ground with a few shots.
Just like that, I used long-distance running to disperse the zombies and defeated them one by one. After a while, only the Millennium Zombie was left alone!
Come on, I'll let you know that I'm not just a big shot in vain. I have two pieces of dark gold equipment, so why should I be afraid of you?
However, after a few rounds, I found something wrong. After all, it was a Boss over level 50. How could it be so easy to deal with? The Millennium Zombie, like the Corpse Witch, had the ability to revive small monsters, and the level and HP of the zombies resurrected by it would not be reduced! Although I could repeat the previous movement tactics, if I continued to consume it like this, no matter how much life water I had, it would not be enough for me. Besides, I didn't have much life water with me because I relied on the Bloodthirsty Demonic Spear!
Suddenly, the evening star shouted, "Sky, come over here!"
I looked back and saw Wanxing standing at a corner waving at me. Why was she calling me over?
"Come on! I set a trap!"
On the contrary, forget about this, the skill "Trap" that a thief can learn at level 25 is absolutely useful for fighting bosses!
I trotted over and saw a flashing pentagram array on the ground. However, with such a strong light, the trap skill of Evening Star should only be level 0 (the higher the level, the more hidden the trap)? Will the old zombie be fooled?
I jumped over the trap, and the thousand-year-old zombie ran over to me. Alas, it must have lived too long (can zombies be considered "alive"), and its brain is not very smart. It didn't even look at the obvious trap and stepped on it.
"Quick! My trap is too low level, not very lethal, but it can trap its movements for 3 to 10 seconds!" Wan Xing told me nervously, while stealing and snapping at the old zombie. Although the level gap between the two sides was too big, it was estimated that there was no chance of success, but if I was lucky, the things stolen from such a high-level boss would definitely not be bad.
The thousand-year-old zombie was tightly entangled by several rope-like white lights shot out from the trap. It struggled frantically, but still couldn't move a step. How could I let such a good opportunity slip away? I raised my magic spear and stabbed fiercely, and every shot hit the zombie's head - zombies have no heartbeats, and the forehead is its weak spot. Unfortunately, my height is a little short, and it is too difficult to stab the Baihui acupoint on the top of the old zombie that is more than ten centimeters taller than me in a fierce battle. But now it is different. The opponent cannot move, so I can stab wherever I want.
Unfortunately, it takes energy concentration to launch a thrust, and it takes almost two seconds to deliver a strike. After just six seconds, the effect of Evening Star's trap had expired, and the light suddenly dimmed. I only managed to fire three shots!
The thousand-year-old zombie broke free from its restraints, becoming even more ferocious. It opened its huge mouth, revealing four sharp fangs, and corpse gas gushed out. Wanxing and I were poisoned at the same time!
It's not a big deal for me, but Wanxing has low HP, which is dangerous already, and he's also poisoned. If he hadn't drunk the monkey wine which added 150HP, he would have died even if he was touched by a small monster, let alone the old zombie!
He quickly drank a bottle of antidote, and used his gun to entangle the old zombie, giving Wanxing a chance to catch his breath.
After Wanxing had detoxified and replenished her blood, I felt that this was not the way to go, so I shouted to her, "Wanxing, let's try another method. You have to take a little risk. You have high agility, so you can lead the Boss around first while I kill all the smaller monsters. If it takes more than two minutes, the system will refresh the corpses, and they can't be resurrected, right? It will be easier to fight the old zombies alone."
"No problem!" Wanxing agreed, rushed forward, and slashed the old zombie's ribs with the dagger in her hand. I retreated at the same time, and the thousand-year-old zombie's attention naturally shifted to Wanxing, swinging its claws and attacking wildly, but Wanxing dodged flexibly. However, Wanxing was indeed in great danger: with her health and defense, if she was hit by the old zombie, she would basically be killed instantly.
Taking this opportunity, I quickly killed all kinds of zombie monsters that were catching up from behind. Wanxing was afraid that if the distance was too close, the Millennium Zombie would use the resurrection skill, so he led the Boss away.
I killed all the zombies and ran towards Wanxing again. She went too far and lured out the monsters hiding in the distance. Now they were hiding among the zombies in a very dangerous way!
Fortunately, I arrived in time and stopped the old zombie. I said to Wanxing in a deep voice, "Hold on! Just hold on for two minutes! After two minutes, you should lead this guy back while I kill all the monsters here. There won't be so many pestering monsters anymore."
Wanxing had no time to answer me. She was being chased by seven or eight monsters and was almost out of breath. She didn't dare to run far because that would only attract more monsters. She could only dodge back and forth in a small area. Fortunately, she was very agile and had good skills, so she was not hit once.
I estimated that the two minutes were almost up, so I said, "Wanxing, it's time to switch hands! I'll deal with the small monsters, and you go and lure out the old zombies!" As I said that, I raised my spear and swept across, stopping the three zombies that were chasing Wanxing!
After playing together for most of the day, Wanxing and I had a good understanding of each other. She flashed past me on the right, then went around from behind me to the left. Naturally, I didn't let go of any of the zombies chasing her.
At this moment, the thousand-year-old zombie and seven or eight small monsters attacked me at the same time. The pressure increased greatly and I almost couldn't bear it. I swallowed two small pills of Huandan and a bottle of super water to hold on. But soon Wanxing rushed up from the left and attacked the old zombie, causing the old zombie to chase her wildly. I was greatly encouraged, and stabbed and attacked continuously, killing a group of small monsters, making them howl in pain.
After killing all the monsters, I ran back to the place where I was just now. Sure enough, the bodies of the monsters had disappeared. It was only necessary to tease an old zombie. Wanxing was at ease and even used the stealing technique from time to time!
I rushed forward and stabbed the old zombie in the chest with a gun, while shouting, "Evening Star, set the trap!"
Wanxing cooperated with my tactics very well and immediately retreated to set a trap. After two or three rounds, Wanxing shouted, "It's done. Lure it over here!"
Hehe, no matter how thick your skin and flesh are as a thousand-year-old zombie, how can you withstand such torture?
As I fought, I told Wanxing, "The monsters here refresh about once every fifteen minutes... If you haven't killed this guy after it refreshes, just repeat the tactics just now!"
Sure enough, the old zombie had a lot of health and it took us half an hour to kill it. In the middle, small monsters spawned twice. Fortunately, we became more and more skilled in fighting it and finally dealt with it. Wanxing's stealing skill was successful once and he stole a level 42 attribute necklace!
Hehe, as expected of a Boss over level 50, the old zombie dropped quite a lot of gold, nearly 100 gold coins, two white equipment, two attribute equipment, one gold equipment, and a material that can be used to forge dark gold equipment! The drop was so good, maybe it was because Wanxing and I had very high hidden luck?
After killing the old zombie, Wanxing and I continued to level up. By the evening, the medicines were almost used up, and Wanxing had already reached more than one level.
I said, "It's about time to log off and have dinner. Haha, you're not going to say you can't eat anymore, are you?"
"Well, it's time to get off."
"Will you come again in the evening? I basically log off at 12:00 every day to rest."
"Of course I came. Haha, it's only three days. I can't waste it. The number one expert doesn't have many chances to help me level up."
"That's right. I rarely bring people with me. By the way, I'm confused. You should be studying. Where do you have so much time to play games?"
"I've already graduated from high school! And I was recommended to go to university without having to take the college entrance examination. I have nothing to do in June, July, and August, so of course I have to take the opportunity to have some fun... I won't say any more, I'm really hungry, 886, see you tonight..."
"Wait!" I called her, took out more than 50 gold coins and handed them to her, saying, "This is the money that dropped today. You should get half of it. In addition, I will identify the equipment dropped by the old zombies and monsters and let the profiteers sell it. I will also give you a share of the sales."
"Eh? You were the one who helped me level up today. If I didn't pay you, you would have lost money. Why should I share any money with you? Besides, I can steal items too. I also made a lot of money!"
"That's not the case." I smiled and said, "My rule is that when forming a team with others, no matter how much effort the team members put in, everyone gets a share of the items, and they are divided equally. Besides, if it weren't for you luring the monsters and setting traps today, it's hard to say whether I could have killed the old zombie! But you should give me half of the things you stole, because the so-called team is a kind of cooperation, and there must be a fixed principle for the distribution of benefits. My friends all know this."
"So, if I steal some dark gold equipment, I should give you half of it?"
"Of course. Of course there are some details. If you get very good equipment that cannot be divided, it will be distributed to the members of the team who are suitable for the equipment. Wanxing, if you want to make friends in the game, you must pay attention to these aspects. Sometimes, friendship is very fragile in the face of interests. There are too many examples in online games where old friends have turned against each other for a piece of top-quality equipment. Although I don’t think such friends are worth cherishing, it is still necessary to be fair and just in the distribution of interests in advance."
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. Well, I don't know how to do business, and that profiteer seems to be very good at it. I'll give you all the things I stole and sell them to the profiteer. Let's settle it in the end."
"OK, that's it, bye, see you tonight."
