Ye Miao laughed. "You're welcome." After a moment's thought, he told Liu Yin, "I have something to do tomorrow, so the monster-hunting group won't be back until the day after tomorrow. If you don't have money for food, I can lend it to you."
"No, no, no!" Liu Yin said repeatedly, thanking him several times and starting to move out. "Then I'll wait for the boss to call me the day after tomorrow. I won't bother you anymore!"
"Okay." Ye Miao nodded. "Have you got the coffee?"
"No..." Liu Yin wanted to refuse, but the next second she saw the coffee description panel:
[Item: Iced Americano]
【Quality: Blue】
[Description: After consumption, the gold and materials gained from gathering and killing monsters will increase by 10%. The effect lasts for 1 hour.]
"..." Poor Liu Yin swallowed helplessly. After a brief struggle, she finally moved over and put the unfinished coffee into her backpack. "Thank you, boss!"
"You're welcome." Ye Miao smiled.
At eight o'clock the next morning, more than forty combat players gathered at the gate of the territory as scheduled and headed to City T.
As soon as the members of the village that became rich overnight left the house, the battle in the center of T City was already in full swing.
"It's weak! It's weak! Output quickly! Beat it!!!" Zhao Xinyi, the lord of the Repeater Settlement, shouted at the top of his lungs.
In an instant, countless skills were thrown at the Mutant Earthworm King, and the numbers above the Mutant Earthworm King's head jumped in chaos.
Zhao Xinyi stared at herself and cast skills frantically, sweating with nervousness, but the health bar above the mutant worm king's head did not change at all.
After 15 seconds, the weak state ended, and the seventh tentacle emerged from the ground and rushed straight into the clouds.
"Oh! Retreat!" Zhao Xinyi regretfully evacuated with her crew members, and an acid rain fell.
It was already past eleven when Ye Miao led the team to arrive. The Repeater Settlement had challenged here many times. There was also a Sweet Orange Village "queuing up" at the corner of the street. Whenever the Repeater Settlement failed, they would rush forward. Although the two sides did not talk much, they took turns trying in tacit understanding.
Ye Miao led his men forward. The lord of Tianju Village, reminded by his members, looked over and sized Ye Miao up: "Come to fight the boss?"
"Yeah." Ye Miao nodded. A flash of displeasure flashed across the eyes of the Tianju Village Lord, and then he said, "Line up."
"No problem, we'll take over after you finish." Ye Miao nodded. The Tianju Village Lord finally relaxed, and without further ado, Ye Miao led the team to a nearby open space to rest.
After walking more than ten meters, Chu Cheng lowered his voice: "It seems that many high-level territories are now interested in this boss."
Ye Miao took it for granted: "It's so difficult to beat, so the rewards must be very rich. Of course everyone is interested."
Chu Cheng asked again: "What if someone else beats us first..."
From previous experience, many big bosses will not refresh, such as the Frost Giant and the earlier Night Detective.
Ye Miao shrugged: "Then accept it. Anyway, the team members saw what happened. There's nothing we can do about bad luck."
After saying this, she drew her two swords and played with them idly in her hands.
[Item: Chanting Dual Swords]
【Quality: Purple】
Description: You will continuously receive chanted blessings while attacking. When the blessing value is full, the special state "Descendant" is activated. While in the "Descendant" state, attack power is increased by 25%, and attack speed is increased by 30%. If skills that increase attack speed or attack power are activated, the state can be stacked. The effect lasts for 10 seconds and has a cooldown of 3 minutes.
Durability: 300/300
After being in the game for so long, she finally got the purple twin swords, and she snatched them from the Fearless Village. It was simply the black humor of an African chief.
But it doesn't seem to be completely wrong - because she stole two pairs directly from the Fearless Village.
Purple gear itself is still scarce. Even professional blacksmith Zhang Xu only gets purple blueprints for one or two pieces of equipment, and the rest are still just a matter of chance. The one or two guaranteed purple items require a large amount of materials, and purple materials are not easy to accumulate.
Therefore, for most players, it is still a luxury to be able to use and save one piece of purple equipment!
A few minutes later, Zhao Xinyi's team was defeated again, and acid rain fell heavily over the mutant worm king.
When the rain stopped, the team from Tianju Village charged forward. Ye Miao watched with bated breath, and soon discovered that this was a well-coordinated team.
The total number of teams coming to the Tuanju Village to kill monsters is about 40 to 50, divided into six teams, each team is responsible for a tentacle, basically a classic configuration of 2 melee, 3 ranged and 1 priest.
But the problem is that not every ranged player in the team has control skills.
Ye Miao was relieved after seeing the details. Based on their experience fighting monsters last time, if one of the six tentacles could not be controlled, the weakened state would end, and the other five would immediately recover their combat effectiveness, and the seventh would immediately emerge from the ground.
Sure enough, about seven or eight minutes later, the Tianju village was defeated and retreated.
"Let's go." Ye Miao waited until the rain stopped. Just as he was about to move forward, another team rushed over: "The acid rain has stopped, hurry up!"
As soon as the words fell, the person who shouted took the lead and accelerated. Ye Miao's eyes flashed, and he took a run and somersaulted, blocking his way. "Line up," Ye Miao said coldly.
The other party suddenly became angry: "What is there to..."
Ye Miao's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he silently showed the combat skills panel to him. The other party's voice suddenly choked and he lowered his head awkwardly: "Please."
Ye Miao nodded in satisfaction and led his team forward, completely ignoring the cold sweat dripping from his opponent's face behind him: Damn, how could he encounter a max-level boss just by leading a team to challenge a boss? This is terrifying!
"Go." When they were still dozens of meters away from the mutant worm king, Ye Miao gave an order and the team immediately dispersed to the surrounding streets, approaching the mutant worm king from all directions along different routes.
At the same time, Ye Miao activated the skill: "Overlapping Reality and Illusion."
The figures around him suddenly increased, trampling over the rubble as they approached the boss. The other players watching were shocked. "What kind of skill is that? It looks awesome!"
The mutant worm king's attention was quickly attracted, and all six tentacles attacked Ye Miao at the same time. Ye Miao slowly chanted again: "Shadowless Sword!"
The next moment, she and the twelve phantoms accelerated into a purple afterimage, and the shoulders in her hands stabbed towards the mutant worm king at a rapid speed.
As the [Shadowless Sword] skill completed, the blessing of [Chanting Dual Swords] was also fully stacked. Ye Miao glanced at her mana bar and cast [Shadowless Sword] again. The blessing of the Shadowless Sword skill superimposed on her purple special effect was coated with a layer of divine white light, and her attack speed became even faster in the white light.
The players around were stunned.
Soon, the rest of the team took their positions and launched a fierce attack. Spells, arrows, and darts rained down. Several melee players, like Ye Miao, drew aggro near the boss, effectively preventing the tentacles from injuring ranged players.
"It's quite a good fight," someone in the crowd murmured, "but it looks like their overall attack power is much weaker than ours. It'll be hard to win, right?"
Half a minute later, two words popped up above the mutant worm king's head: [Weak].
"Group A! Go!" Deng Wei gave a loud order. Team A, the control team that had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward and used their skills at the same time. The six tentacles were firmly controlled by different skills.
Deng Wei held her breath and stared closely at the status of each tentacle, fearing that any mistake would lead to failure.
Ye Miao raised his voice: "Don't stop the output! Come on!"
3 seconds later, Deng Wei: "Group B!"
There were only two members in Group B. As they stepped forward and used their skills, Deng Wei leaped up and cast skills on the four tentacles in succession.
The tentacles were controlled again, and the weak state was prolonged.
Another round of damage output skills came crashing down, and the members of Group C of the control team received the order to attack. Five of them successfully hit the target, but they heard a cry of surprise from the corner: "Damn! They dodged!"
Ye Miao turned around in horror and saw the words on the tip of the tentacle that had not yet completely faded: [Dodge].
"Eye of Medusa!" Ye Miao leaped closer, rushing to control the enemy before the weakened state was triggered. However, she knew that her control skills were extremely short-lived, so she didn't have time to relax and turned around and shouted, "Deng Wei!"
At the same moment, a feather arrow came dragging an iron chain with a gust of wind, and with a click, it bound the tentacles.
Continued!
Ye Miao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and looked gratefully in the direction where the arrow came from. Chu Cheng nodded to indicate that you're welcome.
The weakened state lasted for about half a minute. Everyone in Tianju Village was the first to react: "Controlling all six tentacles can prolong the weakened state?!"
As soon as he said this, the surrounding players suddenly realized: "It seems so! He's been weak for a long time, but the seventh tentacle still hasn't appeared to use the ultimate move!"
The lord of Tianju Village was heartbroken: "Damn it! This mechanism is not complicated, and we didn't even notice it!"
This mechanism is indeed not complicated, but it is not easy to discover.
Ye Miao came to the battle with Chu Cheng's archer team that day. They were defeated repeatedly at first, but after fighting for who knows how many rounds, they happened to catch up one time when the five of them bound the five weak tentacles together. Li Chenqi, who had just got the new equipment, was so excited that he put another one to bind the sixth one. Only then did he accidentally discover that the weak state can be prolonged.
Thinking about this, Ye Miao felt that he was no longer the great African chief.
In the game, it turns out that most players are Asian! If your luck is bad in one place, it will be better in another!
The last member of the settlement to arrive was also grumbling, "Damn, they won't be over in one go, right? Then wouldn't our trip be in vain?"
"There's nothing we can do about it... Who can blame them for their amazing skills? I don't think we can necessarily win even if we attack first."
"That's right, they have strong teamwork, we can't beat them!"
The three teams of the control group completed their fourth shift when the six tentacles suddenly "puffed" and collapsed downwards, as if they had lost their strength.
The [Weak] status above the head changes to [Near Death].
"Boss!" Deng Wei exclaimed in delight, "Boss, look! The health bar!"
Ye Miao raised his eyes and noticed that it was not only his weak state that had changed, but also that the "∞" behind the health bar had now become a specific value: 300,000.
Although 300,000 health points is still scary, compared to ∞, it is at least a clear number!
"Come on, we can make it!" Ye Miao said happily, "Control team, don't stop. In close combat and ranged combat, those with magic points below 20% retreat and take medicine, and those with magic points above 20% continue fighting!"
After the order was given, almost half of the players in the team withdrew. The control group was not affected at all, because they were already on "shifts" and everyone had enough time to recover.
When the players who had retreated to replenish their mana returned to the area, Ye Miao used his mind to cast a skill: "Advanced Healing."
A green glow instantly enveloped the surroundings, and all teammates within a few meters experienced significant health recovery. Ye Miao quickly glanced at the skill range, and once the skill was complete, he quickly jumped to the other side of the Mutant Earthworm King and resumed his healing.
The onlookers were both surprised and puzzled: "How can this guy have both high damage output and high healing? What did he do before?"
"...and she never seems to restore her mana. How much mana does she have?!"
In just three minutes, the mutant worm king's health dropped below 200,000 and continued to decrease in an orderly manner.
Three minutes later, it fell below 100,000.
"It's over, it's over, they're really going to fight!" The onlookers sighed and lamented, "Damn, the distance between people is sometimes even greater than that between people and dogs!"
After the player finished speaking, he reluctantly tugged at his boss and said, "Boss, can you find a way to add him as a friend later? We could become sworn brothers or form an alliance, which would be considered an awesome friend in the Jianghu!"
The boss who just tried to snatch the monster but was intimidated by the other party: "..."
Over in Tianju Village, a player was more creative: "Boss, what do you think would happen if we went and robbed the monster while it still had some health left?"
Before the lord could react, his companions were already speechless: "First of all, boss monsters distribute their drops based on contribution points; secondly... do you think we can defeat them?"
“…” The player who made the suggestion fell silent.
"There are still ten thousand left!!!" The people around the mutant worm king suddenly cheered, but the next second, the cheers turned into screams: "Ah!!!"
The six tentacles that had been restrained suddenly broke free and soared high into the sky. The words "near death" also changed, transforming into the dark red "rage"!
Ye Miao sucked in a breath of cold air, watching the tentacles flying down at high speed, without thinking too much: "Be careful to dodge!"
The team members hurriedly dodged. Ye Miao gritted his teeth and dodged the attack, then made up his mind: "Shadowless Sword!"
In an instant, her speed increased again, but the furious mutant worm king was almost crazy, and its tentacles kept attacking her.
Ye Miao clenched his teeth, not bothering to dodge, seizing every opportunity when the tentacles got close to stab the mutant earthworm king.
"Ye Miao!" Chu Cheng saw Ye Miao losing blood and hurriedly shot an arrow. The tentacle that was about to attack again was pierced by the arrow and quickly dodged.
Less than 5,000 health left.
Ye Miao once again withstood two attacks, raised his eyes silently, and looked up at the sky.
The six tentacles were rising again. If she fought...
In the blink of an eye, the tentacles attacked again. Ye Miao nimbly avoided two of them, dodged and stepped over several successive stone slabs. On the last jump, he triggered the double jump in time and flew over to the center of the six tentacles.
At that moment, everyone held their breath, staring at her intently. The rapidly rising adrenaline made the image slow, and everyone clearly saw her nimble figure slowly streaking across the blazing midday sun, like a god of war descending from the sky.
"Heavy hit!" Ye Miao triggered the skill, exerted all his strength, and hit the ground directly.
"Boom—" The cracked earth exploded in all directions, stirring up a cloud of dust that made the onlookers instinctively duck. A wailing sound rose from the dust, and when everyone turned back, the six tentacles had fallen powerlessly to the ground, instantly vanishing.
The smoke and dust had not yet dissipated when Ye Miao walked out step by step. His black outline revealed an indescribable aura in the gray and yellow haze.
It wasn't until she got close enough, so close that the members of the Overnight Rich Village could see her face, that they suddenly burst into cheers: "Passed!!!"
"Passed." Ye Miao also laughed. Then, the system prompt began to jump wildly:
[System] Congratulations on defeating the [Mutated Earthworm King]! During the battle, player [Ye Miao] performed exceptionally well and received the special reward [Mutated Earthworm] [Gold Coins*20,000].
[Name: Alienated Earthworm]
【Quality: Gold】
[Level: 10]
[Health: 3000, Mana: 4200]
[Attack: 1200, Agility: 200, Defense: 700]
[Category: Climate-type mythical beast]
[Description: Feed various vegetables and fruits. Can summon thunderclouds to rain. The time and range of rainfall are related to the level.]
When seeing the [Mutated Earthworm], Ye Miao suddenly realized why he felt familiar with this thing!
This was originally a rare krypton gold pet in the game "Fantasy World". Simply put, it was an earthworm with six heads split apart, and its body was buried in a flowerpot, like a potted plant.
When this thing was first launched, everyone called it ugly. Moreover, as a pet that can only be obtained through a lottery, non-savvy players may have to spend several 648 to get it. For a while, everyone in the super topic was cursing the game developers for being crazy about money.
But later, when the "soil erosion" mode came, if the territory had this, it could continuously rain on the farmland to ensure moisture. When it came to the "extreme heat" state, it could effectively reduce the temperature by raining once a day.
But at that time, the card pool where one could draw [Mutated Earthworm] had already been closed, and the lords who didn't spend money on it were heartbroken and cursed the game company for being inhumane!
After closing this message, the next pop-up window appears.
[System] Congratulations on obtaining [Random Gold Card*1], [Random Purple Equipment*1], [Gold Coins*3000], and [Primary Resurrection Coin*1].
"Damn! Gold card? Purple equipment? And resurrection coins? Wait...what are resurrection coins?" From the cheers and questions of the members around him, Ye Miao knew that this was probably the reward that everyone had.
Then she continued to look at the third pop-up message.
[System] Other rewards can be distributed between you and your teammates. Please submit your ideas after discussion.
Ye Miao looked towards the place where the mutant worm king was killed. There were all kinds of dropped items densely packed there, which was astonishing.
She was in a good mood and divided the drops into three teams according to the previous 4:3:3 distribution method, and then the team leaders divided them up.
On Deng Wei's side, the controller players' contributions were equally significant, so they were split evenly, with no one objecting. Ye Miao and Chu Cheng divided the range and melee teams based on their contributions, and everyone was happy.
After the last reward was distributed, everyone suddenly heard a "ding dong!" sound, and then a sweet female voice echoed from the sky: "The temporary boss [Mutated Worm King] has been killed by [Get Rich Overnight Village] Lord [Ye Miao] and his men. Thanks to [Ye Miao], peace has returned to T City."
Ye Miao: "Hiss..."
How did this crappy system suddenly learn world broadcasting?!
In fact, world broadcasts are also very common in other games, but why does she feel so embarrassed when she hears it like this?
She dug her toes into the ground, and several teams that had just started to leave suddenly stopped, turned around in surprise, and looked at them again.
"So they're the ones from the village that got rich overnight?! That Pure Land?!"
"Damn it, how can a territory take care of both life and combat power at the same time? Is this scientific?!"
Ye Miao calmed down and shouted, "Let's go! Let's go back! I'll treat you tonight, let's have a good meal!"
"Thank you, boss!" The members cheered and then started to make a noise, "I want to eat pasta!"
"I want grilled fish! With pancakes!"
"Can I buy a few cakes? I see there are seven or eight kinds of cakes for sale in the small market now...but I have never been willing to buy any!"
"You can eat whatever you want!" Ye Miao said proudly, "Budget: 10,000 gold! Don't save money for me!"
With special rewards, fixed rewards and freely distributed drop rewards, Ye Miao earned more than 50,000 gold coins this time. She took out 10,000 to hold a celebration banquet, and she felt it was worth it!
However, when the onlookers heard her words, their shock instantly turned to envy and jealousy: "Listen, listen, listen! It's truly the legendary 'Pure Land'! There are so many delicious foods! There are seven or eight kinds of cakes alone!"
"And there's also pasta and grilled fish?! Why do I feel like they're not in the apocalypse, but are playing some kind of fantasy-themed management game?!"
"Wow, what kind of fairyland is this? The boss can actually spend 10,000 gold to treat us..."
The last sentence came from the last team that wanted to steal the monster. The team leader glared at them fiercely after hearing it, and then three seconds later he lowered his head in frustration: "Okay, okay, I'm useless, okay!"
Compared to many territories, this lord has a very good temper and the atmosphere in the territory is also very good. It's a pity that its development is relatively slow.
So, asking him to take out 10,000 gold to treat everyone to a meal... He really couldn't do it! He admitted that he couldn't do it!
In the evening, just as it was getting dark, the village that had become rich overnight was already filled with joy.
What does it mean to spend 10,000 gold on something in the apocalypse? Almost every stall owner in the small market became a supplier for this "celebration banquet." Various delicacies were delivered like water, and even the players who provided them with ingredients also benefited from it, and everyone made some money.
"Come, the Maoxuewang is here, please move aside, don't get burned!" Hu Haomiaolin was holding a big pot and walking towards the campfire while shouting.
"Pork in a pot! Glutinous rice duck!" He Kailai divided the dishes into small portions and brought them to the front, not forgetting to show off to Ye Miao, "Boss, try this glutinous rice duck. This is the card I just bought today! The ducks are raised by Lu Weiwei and the others!"
"Thank you!" Ye Miao happily accepted it, and then heard someone shouting a few meters away: "The cake is here! Strawberry cream cake, half-baked cheesecake, chocolate lava cake! Hey, don't rush, don't rush... there will be more later!"
"Orange juice, peach juice, apple juice! Pear juice, grape juice, mango juice!" Sister Jin diligently squeezed nearly a hundred cups of juice and brought them over.
There was a great deal of bustle and activity around the bonfire.
