Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Scheming Each Other (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
In a strict sense, the level difference between the goblins and the magician isn’t that big. Their own strength plus their puppets, or the wild beasts they’ve tamed, if they have rich combat experience and work together to deal with the magician who has been restrained and whose demon summoning has been restrained, which means they’ve lost half of their power, they could handle him without a problem.
However, these so-called masters are just like they say: if they were gifted in combat or enjoyed fighting and killing, they would have advanced to higher stages years ago, and wouldn’t be stuck below the second stage.
“Oh no, I am not strong enough either, and I don’t dare to act recklessly. What if I am killed by this terrible magician?” Li Yao said loudly on purpose.
The masters almost spat blood when they heard Li Yao’s shameless words, and the players were speechless too.
You are not strong, and you dare not to act, quit kidding us.
Who the hell was boastful just now, kicked someone out, and even provoked by destroying their array? Is this not a mortal enemy? Many players wanted to see what sort of character this bizarre NPC is.
“My friend, when we kill this trash, you can have all the loot. Is that acceptable?” A goblin made this promise, but with a bleeding heart.
“Yes, yes, we won’t touch the loot, please act quickly.” The other goblins were also getting desperate. The health level of their puppets and beasts was not infinite and they wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer.
Though the Goblin Warlock had no puppet or tamed beasts, his speed was surprisingly fast. Coupled with the various disgusting curses of the agony spell, he was making things exceedingly difficult for the three goblins.
The two gnomes were not faring any better, this Charming Demon Boss was obviously well versed in charm and torture.
The various fascination spells left the two gnomes running around in circles, while the entire stage echoed with the Charming Demon’s seductive laughter.
Unhappy, Li Yao remarked, “What do you think of me? Am I this kind of person? This really breaks my heart. What happened to trust among people?”
The gnomes were almost in tears. If you weren’t this kind of person, you would have taken action long ago.
“Yes, it’s our fault. This shabby magician is undoubtedly a pauper. If he dies, there probably won’t be any loot. We mistook you as our friend.”
“Exactly! I suggest this – let’s call for a timeout as agreed before and let our friend here go first. What do you think?”
The two gnomes weren’t strong, but they were intelligent enough to read between the lines of Li Yao’s words.
“That’s fair, that’s fair.” The three goblins were also feeling gutted. They all secretly cursed, “This bastard, we’ll remember what you owe us and settle this in the future.”
With a look of deep gratitude on his face, Li Yao said earnestly, “Oh my, you folks really look out for younger brothers like me. You always consider me first when there’s something good, this is so touching! Just as I thought, truth and affection still exist in this world. The ancient saying still holds true, we should write it down and hang it by our bedsides to remind us every day. They say….”
“Just treat us like your brothers. Enough talk. Just do it before we get wiped out.”
“Dear lord, stop the lecturing. Kill this trash first and then we will have all the time to chat and drink.”
The three masters had insulted Li Yao’s lineage from top to bottom in their hearts. But they continued to flatter him vocally, begging him to take action faster.
In the meantime, Li Yao was calculating the health levels of those below. It’s not that he enjoyed teasing the NPC. He was just afraid that they might go back on their word.
Rare were instances where NPCs don’t trick players. Just as NPCs give hard tasks to players, their promises aren’t always trustable.
While gnomes can be trusted, goblins can’t. They would treat you like an ancestor when they need you and turn their backs on you when you are no longer useful, without leaving any space for negotiation.
Especially in this dangerous situation, everyone is scrambling for the technology left by the Titans. A call of justification can trigger immediate action.
Li Yao will definitely act. It wouldn’t be easy for him to deal with this powerful boss on his own. However, if he intervenes too early and kills the Goblin Warlock, leaving the others unharmed, they would not only unappreciative, but they might also turn against him because of his strength.
Li Yao wouldn’t give them such an opportunity. He’d just haggle with them. It seemed like bargaining, but in fact, he was just buying time.
The masters were shrewd players. Li Yao knew that they were not strong, but they must have aces up their sleeves to protect themselves.
After they had haggled for a while, the health of a few of them kept decreasing. They quickly became anxious.
“Damn, I’ll put my life on it.”
The men began to go mad and used their last shot. The Goblin Warlock, who had a surplus of moves, suddenly became flustered. Though his level was high, he was, after all, a fragile job.
With just a bit over 400,000 health and low armor, he had been grinded down to just over 200,000 health by them. The health of the masters’ steeds and puppets was also running low.
Seeing this, Li Yao calmly loaded the bullets. He said loudly, “Look, look, it’s so much better this way. We should have fewer tricks and be more honest. If you guys made a full effort from the start, I would have done so too.”
The masters were about to explode in anger. Explode your darn head! Our ammunition supply is limited. Who would dare to use it recklessly if it weren’t for life-threatening moments? How can we survive in the future without some hidden cards?
However, they knew that no matter what they said, it would be useless. This rascal upstairs was too cunning. They had thought of Li Yao’s intentions, but there was nothing they could do, other than swallow their frustrations.
What frustrated them the most was that they ended up owing Li Yao a favor in the end, which was extremely disgusting.
The spectators watching the scene from the sidelines were stunned. For the first time, they saw NPCs playing like this, it was as if there was no difference between them and real people. Many intelligent players woke up in their hearts and thought that they should be careful when dealing with NPCs in the future, lest they be tricked.
“So mean, such a deep scheme, this familiar routine.” Tan Hua knitted her brows: “The information says that Prairie Fire also went on a mission and disappeared for two days, and this gnome shows up.”
Li Yao, of course, couldn’t have known that he had almost been recognized. At the moment, he was multitasking.
At the same time, he had to control Death God 4000, the hand cannon and sniper rifle of Death God 4000. Each one was a heavy firepower weapon, and the fire gun in his hand was also good.
For safety’s sake, Li Yao had already set up three artillery platforms. For a while, the gunfire was booming…
