MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter Chapter 50

Chapter 50: The Big Bet

AdorkableTong watched as Li Yao and Qin Fengyi finished off the last Elite. “It’s too difficult to level up, and so far, we have yet achieved half of the Exp points required for the next level!” She complained bitterly.

Listening to Tong’s complaint, ShadowDancer who had not gained much Exp points since the beginning bawled out, “I wish I could complain like that too, but I haven’t got the chance yet…”

“What are you nagging at? Go pick up the loot, now!” Tong said disgruntledly.

ShadowDancer kept silent as he did not dare to retort. He ran and searched the last corpse.

Li Yao sat on the third platform to catch a breather, and he was no longer surprised by what he was seeing anymore. “I guess it’s almost time, it’s going to be over soon, I’m so tired.”

“Big Bro, there’s one more Boss. Have you figured out how to deal with that guy?” Tong asked.

Although the Boss was a humanoid creature, its size was not small at all, it was at least twice the height of a normal High Elf and was very strong. In terms of body shape, this Boss was much tougher and stronger than the Arcane Guardian.

Perhaps, the Sunwell had caused various mutations to the creature or it could be an experimental subject from the academy. The Boss’s arms had metamorphosised and disappeared, and his arms were turned into two gigantic blades. He was sitting on the biggest seat inside the palace, with his blade arms crossed. By just looking at the Boss, everyone could feel a fierce, murderous aura exuding from his body.

Li Yao quietly studied the Boss’s information.

Ruiner

Rank: Level 12 low-level leader

Health: 88,000

Skills: Berserker’s Blade Dance, Raid, Death Strangle, Flame Seal

Spider Form: Poison Bomb, Death Web, Swing Kill, Self-destructive Spiders, Poison Sting

Li Yao was not intimidated by the list of the Boss’s skills. When compared to the previous Bosses, these were just small fries.

In the future, Bosses would become more powerful, intelligent, have higher attributes, and have more skills than the players. At the current stage, this Boss had more skills than the average player.

This was due to the Leader Template setting, and this Boss was made into a Leader. Unlike previous old online games, this Boss was more overpowered with more skills and Health.

“This Leader will not be easy to deal with, his intelligence is quite high and he cannot be defeated using the previous Boss fight methods.” Fengyi analyzed the Boss stats.

“I know, but it’s nothing, I’m just worried about another thing.” Li Yao said with a frown.

“What is it? You should spill it out so we can think of a way together.” Tong said as she tilted her head.

“You guys must’ve seen the method I used to kill the mine Boss called Skill Breaking, but the precondition to activate the Skill Break mechanism is that you have to be at least qualified to interrupt the skill. From my understanding, this so-called precondition is actually the ability to break the creature’s defense. All of you should know that when killing mobs three levels higher, our attack damage is greatly reduced. And as for mobs five levels higher, the creature’s header will have a skeletal symbol, indicating that it’s impossible for us to kill it or win.” Li Yao slowly explained.

Fengyi frowned. “Are you worried about not being able to break the Boss’s defense?”

Li Yao nodded. “That’s right, this Boss is seven levels higher and a rank above us. With that said, we will become one rank higher once we reach Level 10. The deduction I’ve given earlier was for ordinary mobs, while this guy here is no ordinary mob but a Leader. If I can’t break its defense, I won’t be able to break its skill either. Of course, I’m not so sure since this is just an inference I got based on previous information.”

“It’s simply too late to level up now,” Tong pondered in distress.

“Oh, right! If you use better equipment, your attributes will increase, which means that your chances of breaking his defense will increase too, right?” Fengyi took out a Breastplate from her backpack and handed it over to Li Yao. “This is the Breastplate I’ve exchanged for you, but it’s not as good as the skill book you gave me before.”

Fine Breastplate

Material: Leather armor

Grade: Blue (Rare)

Armor: 19

Strength: 9

Agility: 8

Equipment class: Bandit, Hunter, Monk, Druid

Equipment Level: 5

“It’s more than enough, this settles our previous matters.” Li Yao immediately changed into the new breastplate. His previous breastplate was a suit, but it was just a White suit. As he had changed into a lot of Green equipment, the suit’s set effect was gone. After changing into the new breastplate, his attributes had increased by a fraction.

“Big Bro, let’s settle ours.” Tong was a little hesitant when she handed over a pair of gloves. “Mine isn’t as good as Summer’s but Big Brother definitely won’t take it to heart, right?”

Military Gloves

Material: Leather armor

Grade: Blue (Rare)

Armor: 12

Strength: 8

Agility: 6

Equipment class: Bandit, Hunter, Monk, Druid

Equipment level: 4

Li Yao smiled as he took the gloves. “That’s not what you said yesterday.”

“Yesterday, we weren’t in a squad yet.” Tong glared at Li Yao. “That wasn’t what you said to Summer Sis either.”

“You have a point.”

Li Yao replaced his Green gloves, shaking his head in amusement.

“Big Boss, I have a Blue equipment with me, why don’t you put it on.” ShadowDancer said.

“My attributes should be enough. I don’t require much as long as it is enough for me to break his defense, hopefully my attack damage isn’t just -1. Besides, no matter how high my attributes are, I still won’t be able to cause high damage to the Boss.”

Li Yao was not being rude to ShadowDancer, he had made a conclusion that was drawn by comparing the attributes of them both. This was not something too difficult for someone like him, who had been reborn. Of course, it was just that players at the current phase did not have the concept yet, mainly because there was not much information for them to refer to and they had yet to come up with any theories.

“Hmph, he thinks he can kill the Boss when he can’t even break the Boss’s defense. Did he really think soloing a Boss would make him a God?”

“Exactly, what the hell? I don’t know what to say, if he can’t beat the Boss, he should get lost! He’s got to stop pretending to be a smartass and make himself sound clever with whatever crap that he is spewing.”

“Liao Yuan is too arrogant! He can try to analyze and reason my *ss. Most expert analysts around the world couldn’t even analyze how to beat the Boss yet, let alone him.”

“He really made a fool out of himself.”

“What the hell, even a guy like him can make it on TV?”

“Too arrogant, he’ll be finished sooner or later.”

“Waiting to see how he is going to die.”

Haters popped out of the live broadcast and they were unhappy to see him having all of the limelight. The haters were members of Getaway Studios, Shengshi guild, plus a bunch of anonymous trolls that had no idea what was going on. They got together to spew hate on Liao Yuan.

At that moment, Li Yao’s volume when explaining his rational analysis was slowly surpressed by the messages.

Tina did not expect this kind of reaction. She quickly switched the scene and adjusted her composure. “It seems that the fans are giving us rather strong reactions. KB, tell us what you think about this matter.”

“To each their own opinions, it’s better for me to not say it. Although he really is a miracle worker, but now the chasm is just too wide.” KB said in a serious manner.

“From what Liao Yuan has just said, he still wants to deal with the Boss alone. Can other members of the squad temporarily leave the squad so that the Boss’s Health will be reduced?”

“That simply wouldn’t work. Since this map isn’t an official stage yet, it has different rules, just like when battling in the wilderness. They started the stage clearance with a squad of four, with each member the Boss’s attributes will increase, but even if they reduce their numbers the Boss’s Health will not decrease.”

“It seems that you do not believe Liao Yuan will win this time.”

KB spread his arms. “Don’t get me wrong, I look up to him, but the problem now is that the Boss has nearly 90,000 Health, unlike the mine Boss that only had a few thousand Health. Skill Breaking demands too much and he really has to get the timing right. Assuming he can cause 300 Damage each time he successfully breaks a skill, that means that he has to perform over two hundred successful Skill Breaks. I don’t need to tell you this, but do you think it’s possible?”

Tina finally understood and was instantly speechless. Li Yao had to perform over two hundred Skill Breaks and could not be hit by the Boss even once. That was simply too difficult.

On the platform, Fengyi made some speculations which were almost the same as KB’s. “This is simply too difficult.”

“Big Brother, the spectators on the livestream do not believe you can pull it off, aren’t you going to say something?” Tong said angrily.

Li Yao checked the contents of his backpack. “What’s there to say to the haters? How about you set up a bet, everyone that doesn’t believe I can pull it off can bet with ten ingots. If I can’t kill this Boss, I’ll send them a strategy to kill wild Bosses privately. If they have the balls, come, if they don’t, maybe they should shut up and not look like an eyesore.”

Fengyi saw the seriousness in Li Yao’s eyes. She immediately set up a bet and took charge of it on her own. “There’re still a lot of people shading on you!”

Li Yao looked at their messages, they were all saying that he was shameless, delusional, and all kinds of things.

After a few glances, he shut off the feed. “Let’s not care about these people. A wild Boss strategy isn’t worth 10,000 CPs? Joke’s on these people, if we care about what they say, we’re simply lowering our own IQ. I’ll wait for ten minutes, after ten minutes, I’ll start the Boss fight.”

Li Yao underestimated the temptation of Wild Boss strategies. In less than five minutes, there were more than a thousand ingots placed, and the numbers were still rapidly increasing.

“Big Brother, are you really sure about this?” Tong was intimidated as well.

“It’s really challenging, but that’s what makes it fun, isn’t it?” Li Yao closed his backpack, and his tone was laced with excitement.
