Chapter 553 - Damage Output Compet.i.tion

Crispy Bean didn’t care about any of the equipment that dropped from Bone Dragon Abyss. Just now, this Unrivaled Super Hottie actually thought he wanted to compete for the axe. It made him feel like he was being looked down upon.

“What? You don’t want it? If you don’t want it, then who else would want it?” Ye Xiu asked.

Clove really felt worried! Did this guy really not know the rules, or was he pretending not to know? She didn’t want to say it in public, so she privately messaged Unrivaled Super Hottie: “I told you you could leech and the first equipment that dropped can be used by you, but how am I supposed to give it to you like this?”

“Oh. Don’t worry. I’ll just use it temporarily. Once I get out of the dungeon, I can give it to you. I’m a tank, so why would I need this weapon, but wouldn’t it be better to temporarily use it to raise my DPS?” Ye Xiu replied.

Clove was surprised. She hadn’t thought he would reply in such a way. When an equipment was given to someone, the system would notify those in the team, so she had to say a few words before giving it out. Clove told the rest she would give Unrivaled Super Hottie the axe temporarily. After explaining the reason, she handed the Dragon Guardian Axe to Unrivaled Super Hottie.

Shua!

Ye Xiu immediately switched his Knight sword and s.h.i.+eld with the Dragon Guardian Axe. This axe was a dual handed weapon, so he wouldn’t be able to equip both the s.h.i.+eld and the axe.

The Dragon Guardian Axe wasn’t anything unique. It was just big and the two blood-red streaks on the two sides of the axe made it quite eye-catching. Right now, it looked very powerful in Unrivaled Super Hottie’s hands. The other players looked at him in envy. Crispy Bean glanced at him and then continued to pull monsters.

The dungeon battle continued. Unrivaled Super Hottie, with his new Dragon Guardian Axe, was no longer leeching. He was on the front lines killing monsters.

Clove, as the rear support, paid more attention to Unrivaled Super Hottie and realized that he didn’t need any instruction from her. His coordination with the rest of the team was solid. When she checked the total damage charts, she jumped in fright.

Even though Unrivaled Super Hottie was still in ninth place, his numbers had increased greatly. Before, he had only been a third of the player in the eighth position, but now, he was already two thirds. And during this time, they had only killed the first boss and cleared three waves of monsters.

Even though Unrivaled Super Hottie had switched his equipment, it shouldn’t have been able to make him increase his damage by so much. Thus, most of the damage must have been from attacking the first boss. The boss’s health was equivalent to several waves of monsters.

However, at that time, Unrivaled Super Hottie was only wearing his original equipment. He didn’t have any advantage over the other players on the team, but for him to be able to catch up so quickly! What skill! His ability to output damage must mean his skill level wasn’t ordinary!

After Clove noted this point, she paid more attention to Unrivaled Super Hottie. With his Dragon Guardian Axe, the current Unrivaled Super Hottie had already caught the eye of the other team members. When Clove looked at the damage charts, she saw that Unrivaled Super Hottie was rapidly rising in the ranking, nearing the player in eighth place.

Once he caught up to eighth place, he wouldn’t be too different from everyone else. The other seven players were all around the same skill level. Even though there were differences, the differences weren’t large. The player in first place was Crispy Bean, the tank. After all, he had the equipment advantage and the tank’s attack couldn’t be too low. Damage was a huge factor in calculating aggro. Only by relying on aggro-inducing skills wouldn’t be able to provide stable control over the monster.

“This person isn’t simple!”

Clove finally concluded. Not just her, but the other players also noticed this. The players, who liked to check the damage charts, saw his huge rise upwards. Even though he had just gotten the Dragon Guardian Axe, it was only a slight advantage. Everyone’s equipment had  Level 70 requirements. There couldn’t be a heaven and earth difference between the weapons. Unrivaled Super Hottie’s rise couldn’t be brought about solely because of the weapon.

Everyone else began to raise their damage output. Even though the enemies were NPCs in PvE, players liked competing with other players. The compet.i.tion in PvE was only slightly different than compet.i.tion in PvP. PvP was a battle between players, while PvE was a battle of numbers.

The players in the team had started a numbers battle over damage output. No one wanted to lag behind. With the start of this compet.i.tion, their battle strength soared and they advanced through the dungeon even faster. In the blink of an eye, they reached the second boss in Bone Dragon Abyss.

It was the same as the first boss. Crispy Bean went forward to pull the boss and Unrivaled Super Hottie went forward with him. Crispy Bean already had no more words to say to him, but Unrivaled Super Hottie had already proved that he didn’t have any intention of causing trouble. The first boss battle also proved his ability to control aggro. He wouldn’t be an obstruction to the main tank.

Crispy Bean remained silent and just hit the boss. However, he also paid attention to Unrivaled Super Hottie’s fighting method. He realized Unrivaled Super Hottie was fighting slightly differently than when he fought the first boss.
