Chapter 641: Chapter 608: The NPC without Clothes?
“Player[One Cake], [Twenty Thousand], [San Tiao], [Fortune], first kill of [King of Skeletons] in Expert Mode, triggering special progress reward.”
“Player[Yudit], [Andreas], [Barack], [Clemens], first kill of [Queen Bee] in Expert Mode, triggering special progress reward.”
It wasn’t until two “World Announcements” popped up in front of him that Yi finally found two [Flame Flowers], completing the materials for the potions.
Without any hesitation, he teleported back home, synthesized two bottles of potions, and quickly drank one to return to his original form.
As for the remaining bottle, he decided to use it for his fans’ benefits and find an opportunity to give it to his fans.
After the transformation, he finally realized: “What’s going on? The bandits again?? And, the first kill of[Queen Bee]is taken by foreign players?”
The all-knowing fans immediately explained: “It’s a group of German players. They were originally fighting the King of Skeletons but switched target when they saw Yelang found the Queen Bee and, as a result, succeeded.”
“Impressive,” Yi exclaimed.
Each BOSS in Terraria is not an easy task to fight.
You may hit the BOSS a hundred or two hundred times, and it might not die, but if it smacks you three times, you are close to death.
And considering that in Expert Mode, every time a character dies, a set of equipment is lost, the difficulty is even higher.
It’s just that he didn’t want to praise those[bandits].
This group frequently wreaked havoc in various virtual games, causing destruction and gaining fame.
From their actions, it was clear that they were not ordinary people, with strong organizational and execution capabilities.
The problem was: they often indulged in causing various types of destruction.
Last week, they launched a surprise attack intending to disrupt the Indiscriminate Death Race in Night City.
At the end of the race track, they buried explosives that stretched for hundreds of meters!
— You need to know that getting so many explosives in Night City is not an easy task, and it would take at least a whole team working hard for half a month to achieve that.
But these bandits not only got enough explosives but also buried the explosives in the time when the fewest players were online during the three days leading up to the race, even arranging night watch and directly opening fire if anyone got close!
After setting up the explosives, they arranged teams to take turns on duty, interacting with the reserved triggering device from time to time to prevent the bomb from being refreshed by the System.
When the competition started last Sunday, they patiently held their fire during the first lap.
It wasn’t until the second lap was almost over, the gaps were entirely widened, and the top places were almost settled that they jumped out of the crowd and pressed the triggering device.
As a result, the racers at the front who were fiercely competing and scheming against each other were sent to the sky by a violent explosion.
[King of the Track]Hank, once again lost his dream of becoming the champion…
Players protested Cloud Dream, claiming that it severely damaged the game experience.
Cloud Dream’s response was: Fine, we will ask the organizers to check the race track in advance.
Players were speechless upon hearing this: Event organizers? You want NPCs to check the race track??
Players obviously did not trust NPCs, so since Monday of this week, players have been going to check the track daily.
Such frequent checks were not only for preventing the bandits from using the same tricks but also for preventing more severe incidents: some people would imitate the bandits!
In the past week, there have been many fierce battles around the race track.
The destructiveness of the bandits can be seen from this.
But now, the most annoying thing for Yi is: he doesn’t want to praise these bandits, but it seems he has to.
Others have already killed the expert mode King of Skeletons, but he hasn’t even won in normal mode yet…
—At one point, during their challenge, a teammate was lifted into the air by the skeleton king’s two arms, similar to falling into a washing machine drum, and brutally beaten by the skeleton king’s spinning head, dying quickly. The scene was quite brutal.
Even crazier, after the teammate died in mid-air, they turned into a tombstone and were thrown with inertia, directly smashing Yi’s stunned head and killing him…
This left some psychological shadows on him, and he decided to give up on conquering the skeleton king, waiting for someone to come up with a “skipping class” strategy.
But now, he changed his mind.
One reason was that “the bandits have won the expert mode, so there is no reason I can’t win in normal mode, right?”
The second reason was: while searching for the Fire Flower, he explored all the way to the deepest layer of hell on the map, where he saw many shadow treasure chests.
But he couldn’t open any of them because he didn’t have a key, which frustrated him to no end.
And the omniscient live-streamer community, as always, explained the reason to him: “[Shadow Key] is in the dungeon, you have to kill the skeleton king, find the key, and then open these treasure chests.”
“So you’re all hidden experts, silently defeating the skeleton king, huh?” Yi couldn’t help but complain.
But in spite of his complaints, he didn’t doubt anything. After all, there were millions of people in the live broadcast room, and it was certain that they had more information and hidden experts than him.
So the skeleton king must be killed!
But before that—
“Let me take another trip to hell, dig some hellstone ore, make myself a set of [Molten Armor], and forge a [Volcano] greatsword!”
“There’s only one reason a warrior can’t defeat the BOSS: they’re not tough enough!”
“If you have to find a second reason, it’s definitely because the sword isn’t big enough!”
With the plan settled, Yi wasted no time and continued down to hell.
He had walked this path many times and was very skilled at it. With a double jump and rocket boots, he quickly approached the hell layer.
But as he passed an underground mushroom field, the Life Form Analyzer he had bought from a traveling merchant for 5 gold coins—admittedly, they weren’t a lot of money in normal mode by now…
Anyway, the Analyzer suddenly made a sound.
A text prompt also appeared in his field of vision—[Rare Creature: Lost Girl]
Yi quickly stopped and looked around for this target.
He had found the goblin tinkerer with the help of the Life Form Analyzer before.
Although the Goblin Tinkerer’s absurd [Reforge] system swallowed more than half of his fortune without giving him a top-tier weapon enchantment…
If it wasn’t for NPCs not losing blood, he would have killed this money pit right then and there!
But the [Rocket Boots] were still very useful.
Furthermore, it wasn’t the Life Form Analyzer’s fault that the goblin was a rip-off, the Analyzer was still very useful.
Under Yi’s careful search, the target was soon found at the edge of his field of vision.
But the moment he saw the target, he froze—
“Is this NPC… not wearing any clothes?”
