The game Star Card Storm has been running for so many years that players have already figured out how to play dungeons. Players have developed various strategies. Anyway, dungeons are used to collect materials, and there is not much difference between clearing a dungeon in 3 minutes and clearing it in 3 minutes and 30 seconds, so no one has the time to break the time record.
Most of the time records for dungeons were set by major guilds in the early years in order to delve into dungeons.
The time record of 2 minutes 25 seconds 33 in the Purple Bamboo Forest instance was set in the first season and is held by the Judgement Guild. No one has broken it to date.
The key lies in the emergence of the talented poker player Nie Yuandao.
The first season was the fastest growing season for beast cards. Nie Yuandao greatly enriched the beast decks. Black Rhino, Divine Turtle, and Flame Dragon were the decks he created for dungeon play. Black Rhino's Savage Charge pulled monsters very quickly, Divine Turtle's auxiliary skills were particularly useful, and Flame Dragon's group attack was the card with the strongest burst power among all fire group attack cards so far.
The fire group attack of a single Flame Dragon card is extremely high. Moreover, the cards in the dungeon can be repeated. Putting three Flame Dragons together and using their ultimate skills at the same time is enough to destroy the sky and the earth and kill a large number of monsters in seconds.
It was also because of this dungeon record that all players in the server knew Nie Yuandao's name and the Judgment Guild he belonged to. The beast cards he made soon became a guarantee of quality, and the Flame Dragon card became more and more well-known. It was not until Nie Yuandao brought the Flame Dragon card to the professional league and won the first season individual championship that the card became a legend. A copy was also made and treasured on the card wall of the alliance headquarters.
Later, no one could break the record of Purple Bamboo Forest, also because the group attack of Flame Dragon Card was too strong - there was no boss in the Purple Bamboo Forest dungeon, and there was almost no skill to speak of. It all depended on how much damage the group attack could do and whether the monsters could be killed instantly.
To break this record, one must make a fire-type group attack card that can replace the Flame Dragon, a monster pulling card that can rival the Rhino, and an auxiliary card that can provide status bonuses to ensure that the group pulling and killing of monsters is guaranteed without the death of other cards.
The appearance of Zhou Yu's fire card gave Chen Xiao a good chance of breaking the dungeon record.
The Flame Dragon is strong in its instantaneous explosive power, and its one-time fire-based group attack causes extremely high damage.
Zhou Yu’s strength lies in his continuous transmission and spreading output. Although it takes a longer time, the more monsters there are, the higher his damage bonus will be.
Both cards are powerful group attack cards, but their mechanisms are different, so the way of playing the dungeon also needs to be adjusted.
"There are a total of 120 monsters in this dungeon. The Judge pulled the monsters in three batches, 40 in each batch, and used the Flame Dragon's group attack skill to kill a large number of monsters instantly. After the skill cooldown ended, he pulled another wave of monsters in a group. He got the rhythm right and killed all the monsters in 2 minutes and 25 seconds." The forum played a video of the Judge's dungeon-killing process that year, and Chen Xiao remembered it very clearly. He pondered for a moment and said, "We can change our thinking. Zhou Yu's speed in pulling monsters is definitely not as fast as the Flame Dragon, and his skill cooldown time is longer than that of the Flame Dragon. However, when there are more monsters, the total amount of sustained damage from Zhou Yu's fire attack will definitely be higher than the instantaneous burst of the Flame Dragon. Sun Ce's running speed is faster than the Black Rhino. The Black Rhino can pull a maximum of 40 monsters in a range at one time, and Sun Ce can pull more. The Judge divided it into three batches, and we divided it into two batches. Only in this way can we break the record."
Chen Xiao's analysis was clear and reasonable. Xie Mingzhe said after hearing this: "But if the 120 are divided into two groups, the pressure on Sun Ce with 60 in one group will be very great! In the previous round of the dungeon, Brother Yu asked Sun Ce to pull 40 small monsters, and the blood loss was so great..."
“So we have to time the skill release well. Sun Ce’s invincibility has a cooldown of 1 minute, so it can be used twice for two waves of monsters. Pull 60 monsters in the first batch and 60 in the second batch. Use the invincibility to withstand a wave of damage. We plan the route in advance and try not to waste time.” In other words, the first batch has to pull over 6 piles of monsters, and none of them can be missed. This is a huge test of Sun Ce’s monster pulling speed and stability!
Pang Yu scratched his head and said, "I can't pull 6 piles at a time. How about giving Sun Ce to Brother Chen to operate?"
"Okay." Chen Xiao nodded decisively. "After entering the dungeon, go east first and pull the six groups of monsters over there at once. When they are about half dead, I will activate the Overlord for 8 seconds. When they are invincible, Huang Gai will immediately give you a shield. You guys should kill all the monsters during this time."
"The second batch will repeat the previous skills, but Huang Gai does not need to provide a shield for Sun Ce in the second round. I will try to hold on. Huang Gai will directly self-destruct to increase the damage to Zhou Yu, saving time. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Everyone nodded to show their understanding.
This is very dangerous. If so many monsters are pulled in at once and the skill connection is delayed by one second, Sun Ce will be dead.
Chen Xiao said: "Xiao Xie, you will operate Huang Gai."
Xie Mingzhe was stunned: "Me?"
He is an expert at making cards, but his expertise in clearing dungeons is definitely not as good as Pang Yu and Chi Qing, who have been practicing for two generations.
Chen Xiao entrusted him with such an important task, and Xie Mingzhe was flattered. The next moment, Chen Xiao said, "I believe you can time it well. Keep an eye on Sun Ce's condition and give him a shield as soon as the first round of invincibility ends."
Since Brother Chen trusted him so much, Xie Mingzhe naturally would not refuse and decisively took Huang Gai over.
After everyone assigned their decks, Chen Xiao controlled Sun Ce, who was the most difficult to control, Xie Mingzhe took Huang Gai, and the other three used Zhou Yu to attack in a group.
In the past, when playing dungeons, I would close my eyes and use skills, because I didn't have to worry about the time to pass the level, and I could pass it casually. But today, since I was trying to break the record, all operations had to reach the limit, and there couldn't be any mistakes. Xie Mingzhe's heartbeat was very fast, and he could feel that his teammates were very nervous. The usually chatty fat guy was quiet, standing by with his eyes wide open and not saying a word.
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "It's okay, we are just trying it out. If we can crack it, that would be the best. If we can't, that's fine too. Don't feel pressured."
If they can break the Purple Bamboo Forest World Record set by the Flame Dragon deck of the Judgment Guild, then the combination of Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Huang Gai will definitely become famous in one battle!
Let's not talk about sales and income for now. The more important thing is that when my brother sees Xie Mingzhe making a dungeon deck that can compete with Nie Yuandao's Flame Dragon deck, he will be impressed by Xie Mingzhe and will definitely have no problem accepting him as his disciple. In addition, if the record is broken, Nirvana Guild will be listed on the system rankings, and there will be no need to worry about recruiting people and publicity. The development speed of the guild will definitely be accelerated, and Yueban Card Maker will definitely become popular!
The benefits of breaking the record are too numerous to count. Therefore, Chen Xiao also took the most professional and serious attitude this time, carefully analyzing every detail of the dungeon, determining the plan for playing the dungeon, and personally controlling Sun Ce to the limit.
The dungeon started, and everyone quickly walked to the monster spawn point.
This was the first time that Xie Mingzhe saw Brother Chen so serious, and it was also the first time that he was amazed by this man's terrifying operating skills!
Sun Ce swung the whip in his hand and started galloping on his horse. The handsome little overlord of Jiangdong rushed into the monster pile at lightning speed, and moved in an extremely clever S-shaped curve, just pulling all 6 piles of monsters to the center of the field without missing a single one!
This skill of pulling monsters is simply amazing!
Sun Ce's high speed and maneuverability were brought to full play by Brother Chen!
Surrounded by densely packed monsters, Sun Ce's health began to drop madly. When his health was about halfway down, a ball of fire suddenly appeared on his body - Overlord! Invincible for 8 seconds, immune to all damage!
Chen Xiao said: "Hurry up and fight!"
Chi Qing, Pang Yu and Jin Yue decisively launched Zhou Yu's combo - Iron Chain and Burning Red Cliff!
I saw dense chains connecting all the monsters in the front range together. Since the monsters' hatred was all on Sun Ce, they were not in chaos and continued to surround Sun Ce steadily. Under this premise, Zhou Yu's fire began to spread wildly, burning more and more vigorously, instantly illuminating the entire sky!
The fire damage continued to increase, and all the monsters were burned to ashes!
Sun Ce's invincibility effect just ended, his health was reduced to 50%, and he was covered with a shield.
Chen Xiao didn't even take a breath as he followed closely towards the next destination.
At this point, including the total time for walking, pulling monsters, and grouping monsters, the dungeon time is already 1 minute and 11 seconds.
Zhou Yu had just killed a wave of monsters and his group attack skill was on CD. Chen Xiao walked forward while calculating the data in his mind while waiting for Zhou Yu's skill to refresh.
At 1 minute and 35 seconds, everyone arrived at the gathering point of the next batch of monsters.
Sun Ce once again rode his warhorse into the monster pile. The man holding the long whip galloped on his horse and pulled all the remaining monsters to the middle at an extremely fast speed. The shield was broken and 50% of his health was restored. Sun Ce's health was full, and the three Zhou Yu skills were just about to end their cooldown. He immediately linked all the monsters together with iron chains!
Immediately afterwards, Huang Gai self-exploded, and all his health was emptied, giving a significant bonus to the attack power of one of Zhou Yu!
Zhou Yu's fire started again, and this time it burned even more vigorously!
At 1 minute and 43 seconds, Sun Ce's health was dropping rapidly as he was surrounded by 60 monsters. In a blink of an eye, his health was reduced to a critical level!
If Sun Ce dies in the formation, all the monsters' hatred will be cleared, and running around will only result in wasted efforts.
When Sun Ce was only a thread of blood left, he surprisingly opened up his domineering body!
Seeing the red light on his body, his teammates all breathed a sigh of relief. 8 seconds of invincibility was enough for everyone to kill all the monsters.
The fire burned recklessly, and the values of the fire-related spread damage kept jumping above the monsters' heads. After a few seconds, batch after batch of monsters were burned to ashes. With the fall of the last little bamboo elf, the flames in front of them finally went out.
At the same time, the whole server announced——
Congratulations to Nirvana Guild for breaking the world record of the [Purple Bamboo Forest] instance, taking 1 minute 55 seconds 33!
Most official advertisements in holographic games will be sent to players via email, but important notifications such as world record-breaking events and professional league finals will be displayed as text hanging announcements in the notification area above the player's head for 5 seconds.
Even though it only lasts 5 seconds, this is a server-wide notification and all online players can see it!
Everyone looked confused and started discussing: "Purple Bamboo Forest? Is it today's regular Purple Bamboo Forest? The simplest experience level with only small monsters and no boss?"
"Where did the Nirvana Guild come from? I've never heard of it!"
"I remember this copy was a fire beast card, a record kept by the Judgment Guild!"
"Fuck, he can break Nie Shen's record, so awesome! Look at what deck he used..."
Countless curious people clicked on the notification list.
Then, everyone saw the names of the members of the copy team: Brother Chen, Uncle Fat, Green Grass, Cosmic Stars, and Gold.
Deck used: Sun Ce, Huang Gai, Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu.
Everyone's head is filled with question marks.
Sun Ce? Huang Gai? Zhou Yu? ?
I have never seen these character cards before!
Gossip posts immediately appeared on the forum - "The Purple Bamboo Forest record has been broken, can Sun Ce, Huang Gai, and Zhou Yu character decks also crush the dungeon?!"
Countless curious players replied to the thread:
"Three Zhou Yus, obviously a fire-type group attack team with Zhou Yu as the core!"
"The earth-type Huang Gai should be used as a supplement, and the fire-type Sun Ce is used to pull monsters. Is the ability of this Sun Ce to pull monsters comparable to that of the black rhino?"
"Please give me a copy of the video. I'm so curious how it was broken!"
"The strongest fire-type AoE card is Flame Dragon. What is the mechanism of Zhou Yu's skill? How can he break the record of the Flame Dragon deck?!"
The discussion on the forum was particularly lively.
The Judgment Guild was in chaos, and President Huanyue was having a headache because many people were discussing this matter in the guild chat room. He was really helpless and had to run to find Nie Shen: "There is a new guild called Nirvana, which has swiped the dungeon record of Zizhulin! Fatty is a member of the dungeon team, so it must be him who made the card again!"
Nie Yuandao raised his eyebrows in surprise: "The record of the Flame Dragon deck was broken?"
That was a record set ten years ago. The group attack data of the Flame Dragon card is very extreme. When he first made this card, he added the "Damage Penetration" setting to the fire group attack. Damage penetration will ignore the opponent's defense, so the damage of the Flame Dragon's group attack can reach the maximum value. Three Flame Dragons can instantly kill all the monsters. If the Black Rhino can pull 12 groups of monsters at a time, the Flame Dragon can also kill them instantly, but the distance between the monsters is too far, and the Black Rhino can only pull 4 groups at most and kill them in three waves.
Judging from the time, they should not fight the monsters in three groups, but in two groups. It is impossible to kill two groups of monsters in an instant. The official database has a maximum data limit for group attack skills, and his card data can never be exactly the same as the Flame Dragon.
Unless, his group attack is a special mechanism of continuous damage...
Nie Yuandao said with interest: "Find out the data of the deck used by Uncle Fatty as soon as possible."
No wonder the number of instant death cards in the Moon Half store has decreased significantly in the past few days, and no new cards have been released. The masters of the alliance are quite bored. Why doesn't that fat uncle continue to target our other cards? It turns out that the fat uncle is researching dungeon cards!
The next moment, a familiar person appeared in the alliance group...
Ye Zhu: "Hahahaha, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Huang Gai! They cleared the Purple Bamboo Forest dungeon record! Fatty is starting to stir up trouble again, what do you think?"
All the people who had been targeted by the Fat Uncle before immediately came out to express their feelings.
Zheng Feng: "I wonder when Cao Chong will finish weighing my elephant. I really want to help this kid and get him an electronic scale."
Gui Sirui: "Isn't Fatty targeting us anymore? After a few days of quiet time, he's targeting dungeon monsters? I'm a little uncomfortable with that."
Qiao Xi: "I want to sympathize with the monsters in the dungeon! What did the monsters do to offend anyone?"
Nie Yuandao said calmly, "You are not preparing for the competition, but you are talking about Uncle Fatty. It seems that you all like this Uncle Fatty?"
Ling Jingtang laughed and said, "I like him so much that I want to catch him and beat him up."
Everyone agreed: "Ling Shen is right!"
Tang Muzhou heard everyone's discussion but didn't say anything in the group. He was just confused - Uncle Pang's cards this time were not his. He had been busy these past two days helping his apprentice to match the deck for the individual competition. To be able to break the dungeon record, it was obvious that Uncle Pang had pushed the card data to the limit. Who was the one who was guiding him?
***
In the game, Xie Mingzhe was so excited that he was speechless. He didn't expect that the method arranged by Brother Chen could actually break the record successfully, and it improved so much at one time. It can be said that it was the joint efforts of Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Huang Gai!
Sun Ce who can pull monsters extremely quickly, Zhou Yu who has continuous explosive damage, Huang Gai who can self-harm and add buffs to increase blood - the Dongwu dungeon team he personally created broke the experience dungeon time record that had been held by the beast card for many years, and he truly "became famous in one battle"!
Pang Yu and Jin Yue were so excited that they almost jumped up: "It's a record-breaking game! I never thought that one day my name would be listed on the world bulletin board!!" Jin Yue also said: "Xiao Xie, your deck is simply a dungeon harvester!"
Chen Xiao was also in a good mood, his voice full of smiles: "It seems that Yingying's promotional draft needs to be revised. Our Nirvana Guild is a guild that can break the world record with character decks!"
Chi Yingying was very happy to hear the news: "You guys are so handsome! We must have a big dinner tonight to celebrate!"
Chi Qing said calmly, "Now the name Fat Uncle has really become famous. Not only can he make instant death cards, he can also make dungeon decks. I estimate that the Yueban card store will be packed with people tomorrow."
Chen Xiao turned around and looked at Xie Mingzhe, saying, "Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, don't sell these cards yet. We have more important things to do tomorrow, understand, Xiao Xie?"
Xie Mingzhe smiled knowingly: "I know! Take these three cards and go pay respect to Lord Lin!"
The author has something to say:
There are still a lot of cards from the Wu Kingdom, and there are also quite a few from the Wei Kingdom and Shu Kingdom. After meeting the master, I will make them according to the deck method.
