Chapter 117 - Specially Substituting In (1/2)

“It looks like you’re afraid of me!” Liu Hao said gleefully and constantly thought this in his heart.

He was already clear what Ye Xiu’s plans were. Getting hired, setting records, being rewarded with uncommon materials, upgrading his Silver weapon, the steps were just that simple. But if he wanted to continue doing it like this, then he had to take the highest record for each dungeon. Ye Xiu understood this point, Liu Hao as well.

For Frost Forest’s dungeon record, Liu Hao had specially come out because he knew Lord Grim was Ye Qiu, so he wanted to step down on him. But now that he understood how important this record was. He would spare no efforts and planned on gathering five pro-players to set the Boneyard record.

As for Ye Xiu, he had thought hard with all his might in order to come up a new strategy for this record. This was clearly because he knew that his opponent was Liu Hao, whose strength was powerful. If he contested with the usual strategy, then he would certainly lose just like how he did in Frost Forest.

“I’ve said so long ago. Your era is over. It’s my era now!” Liu Hao continued to dungeon with everyone else, but was already no longer as attentive as before. After all, the cla.s.s combination he was planning on using was completely different from this party, so there was no way he could completely copy the strategy word-for-word. He already knew what he needed to know. What he needed now was to practice it. Fortunately, his party members were all pro-players. With their pro-level inner qualities, getting to this level of coordination definitely wouldn’t be as difficult to do as Ye Qiu’s inferior party.

“Tsk tsk tsk, how pitiful!” In game, Ye Xiu constantly reminded Tang Rou, Steamed Bun Invasion, and Hateful Sword to pay attention to this and that. Hearing all this, Liu Hao was extremely satisfied. Before, it wasn’t as if he had never been instructed like this. However, this was his first time feeling happy about it. Thinking of this, Liu Hao’s hand slipped and he made another pathing mistake. Just as expected, Ye Xiu immediately instructed anxiously: “Hateful Sword, move back two steps. You went too far.”

“Okay!” Liu Hao answered. In his heart, he was secretly laughing as he moved back two steps. He had the impulse to make a movement that would destroy the entire strategy, but in order to stay in the group for the long-term, he tried hard to endure. As long as he maintained Steamed Bun’s level of playing, he would be fine.

These four runs were finally completed. Because the new strategy had too many details, to players lacking experience and knowledge like Tang Rou and Steamed Bun, it could only be learned by learning it mechanically, making it seem extremely difficult. Liu Hao had grasped it long ago. But in order to keep up the act, after running the dungeon four times, he also said with lament: “So difficult!”

“That’s why you have to try harder. Got it?” In the end, he was once again lectured by Steamed Bun Invasion.

“We’ll practice again tomorrow!” Ye Xiu sighed. He wasn’t very satisfied with today. As expected, complicated strategies completely exposed the weaknesses of Tang Rou and Steamed Bun Invasion, these types of new players.

“Are we going to go to Frost Forest?” Liu Hao asked. He was incomparably happy right now.

“Not right now!” Ye Xiu said.

“Okay, then I’ll be going off now. See you tomorrow!” Liu Hao said goodbye to everyone and then went offline. He swiped his account card and ran to Boneyard. Taking advantage of the fact that the strategy was still fresh in his mind, he went in to review it. Based on their cla.s.s combination, he also did his own homework.

“It’s a little troublesome, right?” In Happy Internet Cafe, carrying her tea cup, Tang Rou went to the reception desk to look for Ye Xiu.

“Yeah…….” Ye Xiu admitted.

“Practice for a few more days?” Tang Rou asked.

“If time drags on for too long, then the record won’t be worth anything anymore.” Ye Xiu said helplessly.

“Is there any other way to practice?” Tang Rou was more eager to face difficulties than anyone else. Having a limit of four runs every day didn’t make her feel good.

“There is!!” This question reminded Ye Xiu of something and he immediately thought of a place.

“Steamed Bun, Steamed Bun.” Ye Xiu called in the game.

“Here!” Steamed Bun Invasion replied.

“Come here. We’re going to keep practicing.” Ye Xiu said.

“I don’t have any entries left!”

“We’re going to practice somewhere else.” Ye Xiu said.

“Where?”

“Skeleton Graveyard.” Ye Xiu said.

Skeleton Graveyard, a beginner village dungeon, was obviously different than Boneyard. However, there were definitely a few similarities between them. More importantly, there was no entry limit, so they could practice however many times they wanted to.

“Buy a random low-leveled weapon in beginner village. We’re going to practice slowly.” Ye Xiu sent Steamed Bun Invasion a message while saying it to Tang Rou.

“Cleansing Mist and Hateful Sword aren’t on anymore!” After meeting up with everyone, Tang Rou noted.

“It doesn’t matter. We’ll practice first.” Ye Xiu led the two into the dungeon. He himself obviously didn’t have any problems using the strategy. The most important part was getting the other player’s coordination up to par. Right now, Tang Rou, Steamed Bun Invasion, and Hateful Sword made too many mistakes. Although they weren’t fatal, they were definitely enough to stop them from setting a record.

Skeleton Graveyard’s and Boneyard’s terrain were different, but the monster models and sp.a.w.n points were very similar. In Skeleton Graveyard, the monsters were randomly distributed, so occasionally, they would be distributed similarly to their arrangement in Boneyard. Plus, with Ye Xiu’s ability to control monsters, it really made the scenario extremely similar.

The three spent the night soaking in Skeleton Graveyard. It didn’t need to be said that Tang Rou silently and stubbornly worked hard. Steamed Bun Invasion, on the other hand, talked a lot. He would talk for awhile and then another while. His mouth just kept on moving like a train. However, he also worked hard and practiced with the other two. This was all because of love. An idiot’s deep love for the game.

They had to practice, but their levels couldn’t fall too far behind. After a few days, Lord Grim was the first to reach Level 27. He didn’t know how often this Blue River checked his level. But less than a minute after he hit Level 27, Blue River sent a message: “Boneyard, Boneyard. I’m not too late, right???”

“No…….” Ye XIu said.

“Oh, what do you want this time?” Blue River asked. This was a question that he was quite concerned about.

“Vampiric Lightsaber.” Ye Xiu said.

“What a coincidence!” Blue River’s cheeks streamed with tears.

“Hm?”
