Chapter 84: Amazing Strength!
In Hope World, player names do not appear in the wild unless you are a red-named player. Voluntarily displaying your ID only lasts for 10 minutes, after which the name disappears again.
At first, Quicksand Xiaoye thought this person was just an ordinary non-class player and didn’t pay much attention—but in the next moment…
Jiang Chen didn’t say a word and directly revealed his name.
Above his head floated a dazzling title: Lone Ranger Lv29 (Ranked #1 on the Leaderboard).
In an instant, Quicksand Xiaoye’s face turned deathly pale. He even almost forgot to breathe.
The little guy’s expression remained unusually calm, not a ripple of emotion—because he was already frozen with fear.
If anyone were to be named the most powerful existence in Hope World, it would undoubtedly be Jiang Chen—the man countless players referred to as a “walking bug”, and there’s no second.
No one could compare with him, because he was a bug himself—even the rules of the virtual world couldn’t restrain him. He was just too overpowered.
Why is he here? Could he be here to snatch the boss?
Pfft…
If Jiang Chen had heard his thoughts, he might have spat blood on the spot. Would he, Jiang Chen, need to snatch a silver-tier boss?
The other peripheral players from the Quicksand Guild originally thought Quicksand Xiaoye had failed to stop Jiang Chen, so they rushed over one by one—but when they got closer, every single one of them was stunned.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
At that moment, it was as if Jiang Chen carried a “time-stop” aura—anyone who took a good look at him would freeze in place, eyes filled with confusion.
Jiang Chen moved as though walking into a no-man’s-land and headed straight to the boss battle’s main area.
“Friend, this boss was tagged first by our Quicksand Guild. Please leave the battlefield.”
“The boss will respawn in six hours. If you want to farm it, you can wait for the next round. Please do us Quicksand Guild a favor.”
“Step back, kid. Blades and swords are blind—it’d be bad if you got hurt.”
The Quicksand Guild players had just gotten a handle on the boss fight rhythm. If this guy suddenly joined and disrupted things, causing OT*, they’d all be in deep trouble.
[*]
Voices rose up one after another, all warning Jiang Chen not to get close.
“Brother, everything should go by who came first. Since we tagged the boss first, please don’t interfere—no need to make things unpleasant,” the guild leader also spoke up.
Just then, the boss, the Back-Plated Giant Lizard, let out a wild roar. It lifted its ugly head and opened its massive mouth, instantly releasing a surge of powerful energy across half the area.
The Quicksand Guild players had been prepared and stood in the boss’s skill blind spots. The lizard’s damage was high—especially with its skills—any direct hit would send you back to the city.
“Guild leader, that guy is clearly up to something, standing there. Are we really just going to let him watch?”
“Screw it, I say we just kill him. People who won’t listen only understand fists.”
“Exactly! We’ve only just stabilized the fight. If he intervenes and causes the boss to OT, it’ll be a disaster.”
“Guild leader, say something! We can’t just waste time like this.”
Many players tried to persuade their guild leader. What they said made sense—but starting a conflict would be bad for everyone. If it escalated into guild war, both sides would suffer.
Now that the apocalypse had arrived, the less trouble the better.
Ugh.
Seeing that the players were so busy defending that they didn’t have time to pay attention to him, Jiang Chen was a little annoyed.
The boss was already at half HP. It would be unreasonable to interfere now.
However, he had to get the Cloud-clear Stone—waiting six hours was not his style.
With no other choice, Jiang Chen pulled out his Painted Sparrow Phantom Bow. Right now, only force could get their attention.
“Flame Infusion!”
After dodging the boss’s attacks, the twenty-plus players from the Quicksand Guild began a tiered offensive. All the mages and archers went full output.
Their damage numbers hovered around 300 to 400—barely breaking the boss’s defense.
Just then, a sudden streak of flame shot through the air.
-8191!
Pffft
—a terrifying damage number floated above the boss’s head.The entire field was stunned. Everyone stared at the number in the sky, eyes wide.
Even the giant lizard shuddered a little. It was confused too—when did these adventurers get so strong? That hit hurt way too much.
The whole battlefield was stunned!
They frantically rubbed their eyes, wondering if sleep crust was blurring their vision.
After repeated confirmation, they were all absolutely shocked. A single attack dealt eight thousand damage, more than twenty times what they could do.
“Isn’t that damage a little fake? I don’t get it at all.”
“God, am I going blind?”
“Whose attack was that? Was it a special effect trigger?”
“Explosive! That’s damage that could nuke the sky, the earth, and the air!”
Everyone was floored by the terrifying output.
Over 8,000 damage!
Could a human even deal that kind of damage?
They all doubted reality—this was just too overpowered.
“This is…”
“It’s the Lone Ranger! The legend has arrived!”
“Crap, I just yelled at the Lone Ranger… what a sin!”
“One arrow for 8,000 damage. None of us have even come close to that on the boss. For one skill to do this much, his base attack must be at least 3,000, right?”
Once they recognized Jiang Chen’s ID, the Quicksand Guild players were shaken once more. Who would’ve thought they’d run into a god-tier player like Lone Ranger here…
“I need the materials from the boss. I don’t care about the rest. Add me to the party—I’ll kill the boss. I’m in a rush!”
Their attention finally shifted to Jiang Chen, who got straight to the point.
The guild leader froze for a second, then hurriedly sent a party invite.
Jiang Chen accepted it immediately and entered the battle.
“Concussive Arrow!”
His bow curved like a full moon, arrows flew sideways, and a searing fire bolt split the air.
Stun.
-9579!
Now that the level disparity no longer suppressed him, Jiang Chen’s Concussion Arrow was hitting with extreme accuracy. This was the power of high agility—crowd control skills with high hit rates.
And the damage was insanely high—and this was without a critical hit or phantom strike trigger.
Jiang Chen began moving swiftly—shooting as he retreated. The boss couldn’t even keep up. This was the advantage of wearing full high-level gear.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh…”
His movement speed was high, and so was his attack speed.
-8247!
-8423!
-17854!
-8622!
-73020!
