“Listen up, bastards. The reason we’re stealing your boss today is all because that square-jawed man in your guild is such a piece of scum. Pthu, scum!”
Scumbag yelled as he led his men into a charge.
Back when Scumbag Wang had been collecting a toll at Eastcloud Valley, he had once been beaten up quite badly by the large square-jawed Werewolf man and the latter’s men. He had taken this incident to heart as one of the greatest humiliations in his life, so he had been contemplating revenge all this time. Only recently, however, he received news from a reliable source that the large square-jawed Werewolf man was a member of the Dream Guild, and that he was appearing around the Barren Land quite often these past few days.
Scumbag Wang had personally led the scouting team and died eleven times on the way before he finally reached the Barren Lord’s territory and saw the large square-jawed Werewolf man with his own eyes.
However, he was tragically detected by the Dream Guild and was run over a few more times. As soon as he was resurrected in the temple, he immediately asked Hua Feiwu for reinforcements…
More than 500 members of the Dream Guild were fighting the boss, and the commander was still Shangguan Bailu. The large square-jawed Werewolf man was also there, and when he saw that Scumbag Wang was rushing at him with his men in tow, he immediately stopped fighting the boss and retreated backward instead.
“Why the hell are you running? If you got the balls, stay right there!”
Scumbag Wang was furious and anxious, leading his men into a fierce chase.
“Archers, use Mislead! Thieves, use Shift Blame!”
The large square-jawed Werewolf man barked out his orders loudly. The Archers and Thieves immediately turned around, constantly throwing Mislead and Shift Blame skills at Scumbag Wang and his men, before turning back and continuing to pummel the boss…
“Wang’er, I’m gonna catch you and absorb your life essence, hahahahaha…”
The Barren Lord roared as he extended his arms. He caught Scumbag Wang, stuffed the latter into his mouth, and swallowed.
“Pfft—”
By the time he was spat out, Scumbag Wang had already become human jerky.
“Retreat!”
The large square-jawed Werewolf man gave more orders, and the members of the Dream Guild quickly retreated from the Barren Land while the Barren Lord was chasing Scumbag Wang’s subordinates.
“Don’t worry, brothers, hahaha, those idiots are running away in fear. The boss is ours now.” Scumbag lay on the ground and still found the time to laugh heartily.
“Brothers from the Savage Tribe, we’re depending on you this time. If we defeat the boss, we’ll split the rewards half-half. Everyone, charge!”
Only then did Hua Feiwu lead his men into the fray…
“Go!” The people from Savage Tribe moved as well.
Any world boss, even the Wild Boar King from the Novice Village, would drop a few rare items that were unique to only them. That was precisely why world bosses were always the most precious commodity because the fight over world bosses meant that scuffles happened every day. The saying went that in the game, might was right. No one could blame others for stealing their bosses, they just had to steal it back. If they could not steal it back, then they would just leave their bodies there and keep dying as they tried…
“Feel the wrath of the Barren Lord!”
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The Barren Lord stomped on the ground with both feet. Hua Feiwu’s group did not know how to fight this boss as well, so they instantly took a ton of damage and could not run even if they wanted to. More than 400 people were killed by the impact, and those that managed to hang in there were left with only a tiny sliver of HP.
“Go get them!”
The large square-jawed Werewolf man led the Dream Guild members back. The arrows rained down, and all sorts of magic spells flew at them from everywhere, knocking all the dying players to the ground.
There were almost no casualties on the Dream Guild’s side, but more than 1000 players from Century Flower, Huashan, and the Savage Tribe had died!
The large square-jawed Werewolf man sneered. “If you’re trying to trick me, the great Flower Underpants, you’ve bitten off more than you can chew.”
“Flower Underpants, f*ck, you’re the Guild Master of the Dream Guild!” Hua Feiwu suddenly understood, but it was too late. The Dream Guild did not even have to finish him off, since he simply died to the Barren Lord’s Earthquakes.
Scumbag Wang was beside himself with fury. “So what if you’re Flower Underpants? Acting all high and mighty, aren’t you tricking me too? If you got the balls, let’s go one-on-one, and if I lose, I’ll call you Daddy right here and now. If you don’t dare, you’ll be my grandson.” 1
“What will you call me?” Flower Underpants was slightly stunned.
“Daddy!”
“Say it again.”
“Daddy! F*ck, you deaf? Daddy, Daddy, do you hear me?”
“Hahahahaha…”
The members of the Dream Guild were already dying with laughter, but Scumbag Wang was still lying there and yelling with a straight face.
Hua Feiwu said, “Brother Wang, shut up.”
“Mind your own business.”
…
“Shangguan Bailu, you keep 200 people to camp them, and the rest come with me to beat that boss. Pull ’em further away so these idiots won’t be able to get in our way.”
The Barren Lord was slowly pulled away, and it did not matter how loud Scumbag Wang roared in his fury. He tried to get up a few times, but each time, his enemies just tossed spells at him in unison…
To someone who had just resurrected and had all of 100 HP, how could he possibly withstand that?
He died every time he got up, so he could not even stand up.
Just like that, more than 1,000 people got spawn camped by 200+ people.
“Everyone, get your *sses corpse-running, we won’t let him get away today!” The anger had gone to Scumbag Wang’s head.
“Brother Wang, don’t be rash. Let us all try to stand up at once. Even if we can’t beat them, at least a few of us would be able to escape, right?”
“You have a point.” Scumbag Wang understood as well.
They reconsidered their strategy and decided to corpse run at the same time. It would be on Hua Feiwu’s cue; they would all stand up on the count of 3.
“Brothers, don’t get up when he yells 3. Wait for my cue, only get up when I say so.” Scumbag Wang secretly typed in the Guild Channel.
“Leader Scum, that’s brilliant.”
“…That’s evil, but I like it, haha.”
“Leader Scum, mad respect.”
Hua Feiwu barked, “Listen up, brothers, on my cue. 1, 2, 3, up!”
More than ten seconds had passed. Other than a dozen or so players that had gotten up and fallen back down again, the ground was still littered with bodies…
“Brother Hua, what is the meaning of this?”
“Brother Wang, I should be asking you. What is the meaning of this?”
“Motherf*cker, you dare trick me? Hua Feiwu, you want me to take you down to Level Zero?”
“We didn’t coordinate properly this time, let’s do it again.”
“F*ck!”
…
Go on, struggle all you like. Without mutual understanding, any and all plans were nothing more than mere jokes. If they really were united, all they had to do was stand up as one, and then the tables might very well be instantly reversed.
On the other side, the large square-jawed man, Flower Underpants, led the members of the Dream Guild and successfully killed the Barren Lord.
Once they obtained the spoils of their battle, Flower Underpants stepped on Scumbag Wang’s head, saying, “Shangguan Bailu, you take some men to the temple nearby. This time we’re going to camp them for three days and nights, let’s see if they learn their lesson after that.”
“Camp me for ten f*cking years if you dare, I’m not scared of you.” Scumbag Wang was not intimidated in the slightest.
“Brother Wang, you might not be scared, but don’t go pulling me down with you. I can’t accompany you here any longer.”
Hua Feiwu chose Temple Respawn, and the body on the ground vanished.
“F*ck your sister, Hua Feiwu, you disloyal piece of sh*t…”
The Dream Guild did not have to spawn camp them anymore, because the Huashan Guild and Century Flower had launched into a furious argument…
…
“Bailu, do you remember who the person who reminded you to get ready was?”
Shangguan Bailu shook her head.
“Find him. The Dream Guild owes no favors.”
“Yeah.”
…
“Phoosh— Phoosh—”
The black Feathered Arrows kept hitting the Barren Leader (Elite), until its life finally ended.
Li Yi went up to it and reached out his hand, looting it. He obtained a piece of white-colored equipment.
He could not fight for the Barren Lord. There were only four Barren Leaders in the Barren Land, so there was no way he would let any one of them go.
The equipment dropped by an Elite Leader-level boss was much better than those from regular white monsters, and the EXP gained was considerable as well. If they were lucky, players could even get gold equipment, Skill Tomes, Treasure Maps, and other goodies.
“That’s three and not a single drop. What a trash hand… Just trash.”
Li Yi shook his head helplessly and ran to the spawn point for the last Barren Leader.
“Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!”
He heard that familiar mining sound from ahead. Li Yi looked carefully and instantly burst out laughing.
The one who was mining was none other than that player who only played the lifestyle classes, Snickersnee. Right now, he was shirtless and flinging sweat everywhere as he mined.
‘If he’s mining here, that must mean that his Forging level is no lower than my Apothecary level. He’s quite the talent.’
“Coo— Coo—”
A giant barren monster noticed Snickersnee and immediately pounced on him. Snickersnee did not even frown, his stance clearly saying that he was not afraid of dying.
In truth, he had only been mining here in the Barren Land for a few days, but he had already died at least 30 times…
Li Yi’s Feathered Arrow managed to save Snickersnee in the nick of time, and then the Mutated Small Wild Boar rushed in.
The Mutated Small Wild Boar’s DEF was naturally not enough to block the giant barren monster, but do not forget its most recently acquired skill, Solid Ice. Li Yi had used this ultimate suicidal skill to kill off one Barren Leader after the other.
Seeing that the Mutated Small Wild Boar was on the verge of death, Li Yi gave his orders and the Mutated Small Wild Boar used Solid Ice. After a few more arrows, the Mutated Small Wild Boar and the giant barren monster died at the same time…
“Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!”
It was as though Snickersnee had not seen anything at all. He continued swinging his pickaxe, mining metals and minerals.
It was only when he had finished mining the minerals that Snickersnee wiped his sweat and straightened up, looking at Li Yi.
Li Yi asked, “How high’s your Forging skill?”
Snickersnee smiled and showed Li Yi his Forging Skill. It was Intermediate-level Forging, 5,342/10,000.
“Whoa!”
Although Li Yi had guessed that it would be so, seeing it for himself still gave Li Yi a shock.
After all, most players practicing the lifestyle classes were still in the Beginner Level, and only an extremely rare handful managed to reach the Intermediate Level.
For the Forging skill to rise in mastery points, it was not enough to simply forge weapons. This skill had a requirement known as Thousand Hammers, Hundred Forges. When you began, the forging instructor would tell you that to become a true Forging Master, you had to swing your hammer a thousand times a day before you could achieve a hundred forges and forge true steel.
Since this was a highly realistic game, there were very few players who could even manage a hundred strikes a day. Someone who could persist at a thousand swings of the hammer every day could only be described as OP, nothing else covered it.
Many players who practiced Forging did not take this seriously. They assumed that it did not matter whether they hammered or not, but as a result, when they reached the Intermediate Level, they found that their mastery rose extremely slowly, and the chances of them forging legendary equipment were ridiculously low. They even used materials worth tens of thousands of Gold Coins, but it always resulted in completely useless white-colored equipment. There were countless examples of exactly this happening in the past life.
Snickersnee smiled goofily. “Thanks for the materials you sent me, they really helped a lot.”
“This Fine Steel Longsword you gave me is pretty decent too, it really works well.” Li Yi unsheathed the Fine Steel Longsword and gave it a few swings.
Snickersnee laughed. “Give me that sword back.”
“Here.” Li Yi tossed him the sword.
“This is a sword I just forged recently, take it.”
He tossed Li Yi a sparkling gold longsword. Li Yi reached out his hand to catch it and was instantly stunned.
