In just half an hour, the three Alliance Game Houses managed to kill over three hundred monsters, with each player’s level rising by approximately one and a half levels. Compared to an individual creating a Game House, they received fewer Experience Points, but their safety significantly increased. This gave the onlooking players hope that they could successfully complete the main quest;
“This can’t be as simple as it seems. Even though the monster count has tripled, compared to the strength of the three of us together, this increment in difficulty is nothing at all!” Song Jian slightly furrowed his brows while looking into the sea of monsters;
At that moment, the three players building the Game House had a sudden change of expression. They exchanged glances, their eyes reflecting mutual fear;
“Boss, what do we do, why did a level ten elite Boss appear?” Zhao Liang said with a grimace;
“Yeah, boss. The three of us, even together, we can’t possibly deal with a level ten elite Boss and all these other monsters. We’re done for…” Another player, named Zhang Wei, also wore an expression of sheer terror.
Not to mention a level ten elite Boss – even at the sight of a level five Boss, these two would immediately turn tail and run, completely unwilling to engage in direct battle with any Boss;
“Boss, in ten minutes it will be upon us, what do we do!”
“A level ten elite, and I… I’m still only level seven. We can’t beat him!”
“Don’t panic, we’ll clear out the surrounding lesser monsters first!” even though he was terrified, Qiang bro rallied. He couldn’t deal with a level ten elite Boss either;
“Our Game House is only level one, its defense is not high, the remaining defense value now is only two-thirds. When the level ten elite Boss joins the fray, we won’t be able to hold up, what do we do?” Sweat pooled on Qiang Bro’s forehead, the look in his eyes becoming more frantic;
Taking in the sight of the hundreds of onlooking players, Qiang bro came up with a plan immediately;
“Don’t worry, there are so many players around us. A level ten elite Boss can drop good equipment – when the time comes, we can try and motivate them to kill the Boss.” Qiang bro glanced at the other two and broached his plan;
“Qiang, bro, will they help us kill it? Wouldn’t it be simpler for them to let the Boss scatter our Game House, then kill it?” Zhao Liang asked hesitantly;
Why would so many people gather when someone established a Game House? Isn’t it because they’re waiting for the Boss and the Game House’s defenses to weaken each other, so they themselves can swoop in and benefit at no cost?
With the Game House destroyed and the Boss seriously injured, it would be the safest time to go in for the kill. That’s why so many players watch as others’ Game Houses get destroyed, yet remain indifferent.
“No problem, when the time comes, I’ll have a way to handle it!” Qiang bro’s eyes reflected him inwardly wincing;
“Bro, you’re not planning on using that thing, are you?” Zhang Wei was aghast, and quickly questioned;
“Besides that thing, what other option do we have? Can you kill that Boss?” Qiang bro’s challenging gaze had a frightening effect, and Zhang Wei almost fell off the perimeter wall;
“That belongs to boss. He gets to choose when and how to use it.” Zhang Wei quickly added with a laugh;
“Right now, that’s our only option. When the Boss shows up, we’ll use it!” Qiang bro gritted out, although he could visibly see he wasn’t keen on the idea, but there didn’t seem to be any better alternatives at the moment;
“But what about the reward?” Zhao Ming seemed to have caught on and asked somewhat hesitantly;
“Yeah, what if the reward is too low and no one wants to do it?” Zhang Wei chimed in with support;
“How many Doomsday Coins do you two still have on you?” Qiang bro suddenly asked after careful thought;
The two had a start and shook their heads immediately. Zhang Wei quickly responded, “Bro, Qiang, all the Doomsday Coins we get every time are with you, right?”
“Yeah, boss, we didn’t dare to hoard any. We gave everything to you.” Zhao Ming quickly added;
“Hmm, pretty words, as if I don’t know you two?” Qiang bro smirked coldly and continued: “Hand everything over now, otherwise all three of us – tied by the same rope – if we can’t get rid of that Boss, we die. Together.”
After he finished speaking, Qiang bro resumed shooting at the monsters approaching his Game House;
Zhao Ming and Zhang Wei exchanged a glance and reluctantly fell silent. Their team had only recently formed up. Both just wanted to ride on Qiang bro’s coattails because he was at a higher level than they were, had three skills, and even his vitality was much higher. In every battle, Qiang bro was always at the forefront while they assisted from behind in safety.
However, after a couple of battle experiences, Qiang bro proposed a distribution system based on need. If there were items that none of them required, they were to be kept by him. This included the Doomsday Coins, which were to be unified and allocated to him, but the spending of said coins had to receive agreement by all three players;
Although Zhao Ming and Zhang Wei weren’t completely happy with it, they didn’t voice any opposition. The raw materials from every battle were sold, and the Doomsday Coins earned were also handed over to Qiang bro.
But this didn’t mean that the two didn’t have their ‘secret stashes’. After they had been playing the game for over a month, their privately stashed Doomsday Coins weren’t much fewer than other players’;
“Boss, all our Doomsday Coins are with you. I’ve been keeping track all along, and 1 think we should have around 3,560 Doomsday Coins there, right?” Zhang Wei stated nonchalantly;
Qiang bro was astounded by their accuracy, wondering if they were a professional accountant. Could they have memorized the Doomsday Coins they made from every single battle?
“This time we’ll use up all our reserves. I’ll add some of my own, 4,000 Doomsday Coins!” Qiang bro gritted out: “What good is having so many Doomsday Coins if we lose our lives?”
“Well… alright, I’ll put in another 500. That’s all I’ve got, but as long as we can establish the Game House, it will all be worth it!” Zhang Wei gritted his teeth and declared, glaring at Zhao Ming as if he could draw blood;
“I, I… well, 1’11 also add 500 Doomsday Coins.” With both eyes on him, Zhao Ming was somewhat creeped out, and quickly agreed;
“Good, 5,000 Doomsday Coins, I dare those poor bastards not to be moved!” Qiang bro mocked the onlooking players, sneering;
At present, apart from the larger teams, hardly any player could bring out 5,000 Doomsday Coins. To the players, 5,000 Doomsday Coins were undoubtedly a colossal amount;
Hearing Qiang bro’s decision, Zhang Wei and Zhao Ming both calmed down. Although every one of the three men was inwardly wincing, in order to complete the task, 5,000 Doomsday Coins was a sum they were willing to sacrifice;
Before long, a level ten elite Boss made its appearance. This Boss was humanoid, but it was covered in spikes, looking like a giant human-shaped porcupine;
