#470 - Chapter 469 Happy New Year
Extreme Devil - Three Forms - 100%
Watching the two-winged demon that had just broken out of its cocoon and was flying high in the sky, Qi Jing knew it probably wouldn't land.
He didn't know how Prince Amusement had managed to survive it.
However, unlike the first stage, it wouldn't actively regenerate health; it could only absorb health when it dealt damage to players, which was very good for their hit-and-run tactics.
With just a few of them, how much could it absorb?
"Small-sized, speed-type BOSS, melee fighters, block its attacks, stall it!"
Game enthusiast Wen Jing immediately judged what tactics were needed to fight it, and continued to shout:
"Ranged units, spread out, each person with one or two melee fighters nearby, and then attack together!"
With that, the players in the arena began to move, melee fighters scattered and retreated, and ranged fighters moved to the sides.
Tan Zuoyin, holding a blue light sword in her right hand and a small shield in her left, came to Wen Jing's side:
"Sister Wen, I'm here to help you!"
"Little Yin'yin, I'm counting on you. My ranged attacks have high damage and a high probability of attracting aggro, so you have to be careful."
"Don't worry, Sister Wen, I've got it."
Wen Jing didn't say much. She raised the oversized sniper rifle in her hand and began to shoot at the demon in the sky.
High attack, slow attack speed, high penetration, and single target attack were the characteristics of the sniper profession. The interval between each attack was even slower than a mage's.
Moreover, in order to encourage everyone to practice combat skills in the game, the backend planners also added a setting to the sniper profession:
If the auxiliary aiming is turned off, the damage value will be directly doubled.
Especially when hitting the opponent's weak point, it can cause massive damage.
Coincidentally, as a shooting instructor, Wen Jing's marksmanship was definitely one of the best in the world. Every shot she fired hit the Extreme Devil's head, and sometimes even accurately hit its eyes, dealing the highest damage and attracting the most aggro.
"Little Yin'yin, the demon is rushing over, you have to resist it, even if you can't, you have to, understand?"
"Don't worry, Sister Wen, unless it steps over my corpse!"
Only 20% of the reason Tan Zuoyin played the game was for fun, 30% was to accompany Qi Jing, and the remaining 50% was to practice melee skills.
Therefore, she chose the Shield Swordsman profession with a small shield.
This profession's characteristics were different from the sniper's:
If a small shield is used to perfectly block an attack, the damage will be reduced by 90%.
Perfect blocking requires the player to activate the "Block" skill in the correct direction at the moment of being attacked in order to be judged as successful, otherwise it will be a wasted block, which greatly tests the player's skills.
It can be seen that the planners of the Ability Administration Bureau have tried their best to modify many game mechanics in order to allow everyone to practice combat in the game, changing each profession once (and also adjusting the strength of the BOSS upwards).
At this time, Tan Zuoyin stared intently at the flying demon, and used the "Block" skill just as its claws were about to hit her, successfully offsetting 90% of the damage and interrupting the demon's charge.
Wen Jing continued to shoot while praising:
"Little Yin'yin, great technique, much better than before, you haven't practiced for nothing."
She had watched Tan Zuoyin's growth in the game step by step, from not even knowing how to release skill combos to being able to perform perfect blocks in a slowed state, the speed of improvement was simply amazing.
But even her growth had a limit, for example, right now, she couldn't reply to Wen Jing while being fully focused; she could only put all her attention on the demon flying in the sky, daring not to be distracted in the slightest.
However, if she practiced for another half a year, she could probably easily make perfect blocks while talking on the phone.
"Take it down!"
Under the onslaught of the ranged players, the Extreme Devil tried twice but failed to break through Tan Zuoyin's defense, so it changed its attack target and rushed towards another mage.
But it was blocked by Long Yin again, so it had to change its target again...
In this way, during the demon's constant probing, its state was gradually depleted.
Finally, after using a clone skill, it could only die with regret.
"Oh yeah! Successfully cleared the level! Our District One is the best!"
Yan Di, the priest who hadn't moved much throughout the entire battle, shouted from behind:
"I'm so cool!"
Barbatos walked over and poked him with an arrow:
"You turtle grandson healer, what's so cool about you? We ranged fighters were the MVPs of this battle."
"How can't a priest be considered ranged?"
"Priests don't count."
"Hey, Xiaofeng, looks like your skin's itching. I'll burn off your eyebrows the day after tomorrow."
"Come on, watch me blow a hundred holes in your underwear."
Watching the two bickering, Qi Jing leaned over and asked:
"You guys are having a team building even during the New Year? Meeting the day after tomorrow."
Yan Di waved his hand:
"No, no, no, we're not having a team building, we're going on an adventure!"
He leaned over, resting his elbow on Qi Jing's shoulder:
"We have to thank you for this. It's that Goblin Plain you discovered. We're going to the mountains on the plain to catch dragons!"
"Yeah, we want to be dragon knights!" Barbatos also chimed in.
Qi Jing said in surprise:
"So soon?"
He knew that Barbatos had heard about the dragons in the Goblin Plain and knew that they were going to find them, and had been accumulating points to buy travel equipment, but he didn't expect them to accumulate points so quickly.
"Yeah, actually, the equipment was already complete yesterday. If it wasn't for the New Year, we would have set off today."
Yan Di pointed to Fei Peng, who had a blank expression, beside him:
"Actually, I wanted to lie down a little longer, but our captain has always been a man of his word. Otherwise, he'd fire me. Sigh~"
Hearing his words, Fei Peng's poker face moved slightly:
"I can fire you right now."
"Don't, Brother Fei Peng, Daddy Fei Peng, Grandpa Fei Peng, I'm the strongest fire mage. If you fire me, you won't be able to make fire and cook. If you want to eat dragon meat, you can only eat it raw, how miserable."
Yan Di ran over to vigorously massage Fei Peng's shoulders, arms, and head, displaying the demeanor of a lackey to the fullest.
It's just that this isn't the safe zone in the game. Not only would his actions not make people feel comfortable, but they would also cause damage.
Fei Peng directly slashed him into low health with a greatsword, forcing him to stop and heal himself, and also conveniently gave Fei Peng a restoration spell.
Barbatos, Long Yin, and the others next to him laughed at this scene:
"Yan Di, you silly bird, you don't even know how to suck up to the captain. You even want to be the captain's grandson. No way, hahaha."
Qi Jing also laughed.
He also knew Fei Peng's poker face. As the Rookie King of his junior year, he wouldn't act unless he had to, and when he did, he probably wouldn't say a word, he'd just do it.
He also didn't know why he could find so many mischievous and game-loving teammates.
Yan Di, Long Yin, Long Jun, Tide, Barbatos...
He still remembered the experience of being blocked by their team during the Sea Trial and the seven-day rainbow hair he gave Yan Di.
"Grandpa Fei Peng, you can't fire me after you hit me~"
Yan Di ran over from behind, pointing to the sky and saying:
"The New Year is coming soon, Happy New Year, Captain, give us a smile~"
Everyone looked up at the sky, watching the New Year's Eve countdown above.
It turned out that time had passed so quickly, it was already twelve o'clock.
Fei Peng opened his mouth with a blank expression:
"Happy New Year~"
Qi Jing and the others next to him watched the countdown in the sky slowly reach one, and shouted in unison:
"Happy New Year!"
