Chapter 420: Chapter 420 The Annoying Boss
This team was excellent, and even though the boss level wasn’t low, with data displaying a Level 20, it wasn’t very powerful.
Although its attacks were not weak, it couldn’t kill off a top-equipped tank on the spot.
The boss looked like a Sea Giant, but what was weird to Li Yao was that it was exceedingly slow and awkward.
Although giants normally move slowly, they aren’t clumsy at all, but this one seemed to struggle with walking and even fell over during the fight.
Moreover, the boss didn’t use any specific Sea Giant abilities, its health steadily decreased under the team’s combined efforts and the number of Leisure Guild players who were sacrificed was very low; out of forty team members, only six fell.
The people at the Leisure Guild were rather excited, regardless of what kind of boss this was, it was at least a high-level boss.
Now the guilds trying to gain a reputation usually designate someone to find low-level bosses that haven’t had a posting, then lead a team to kill them for fame.
Guilds rarely encounter these kinds of high-ranking leaders, after all, this is not an instance, and everyone is rushing to reach Level 20, very few guilds risk killing bosses.
Had it not been for the black boss offering a high price that they couldn’t refuse, the Leisure Guild wouldn’t have wanted to provoke such a thing, they were even prepared for level losses.
But what they didn’t expect was that everything went quite smoothly, with only a few people dying,
The boss’s health was down to thirty percent, and no big moves were made, which was a joyous surprise for them.
If they could successfully take down this boss, the Leisure Guild would be one of the only ones capable of killing high-level bosses besides Prairie Fire, which would surely attract many clients.
The only thing that bothered the Leisure Guild now was the presence of two spectators not far away.
If they were just two ordinary players, they wouldn’t worry, but this was Prairie Fire.
His skills were widely acknowledged as exceptionally strong. This kind of guy had been continuously challenging players’ nerves ever since the game began, his actions were often unpredictable and without rules.
Who knows what he would pull when the boss was about to die, just like what happened at the Faselin Academy last time.
Li Yao had somehow obtained a Dragon Eagle and was flaunting it around. They attacked the Dragon Eagle, but a single spell from it taught them a lesson.
Such a tragic experience was a bloody lesson, so the lower the boss’s health dropped, the more on guard they were.
Some of the Leisure Guild’s defenders were even nearby Li Yao, ready to attack as soon as Li Yao made a move, and many thieves lurked even closer to Li Yao.
However, Li Yao just stood there, watching them fight the boss with great interest, even taking out a bunch of snacks to munch on while commenting freely on their battle, as if he was watching a show. This greatly upset many players from the Leisure Guild. But since the Leisure Guild forbade them to act rashly, they could only glare at him.
“Something’s off about this boss, its health and armor are high, but are there no abilities? It’s too weak.” Li Yao finally noticed something strange after watching for half the day.
“So, you’ve noticed it as well, hehe.” Li Yao said while sipping on some fine wine.
“Stop beating around the bush, but this is a first kill after all, don’t you want to rob it?” Li Yao asked him.
“I wouldn’t do such a thing. How could I, such a noble and virtuous man, commit such shameless acts like robbing bosses?” Li Yao didn’t private chat this time and deliberately said it out loud.
Even though Li Yao wasn’t addressing them, his voice was particularly loud, and the players fighting bosses far away could hear him. His words seemed to be berating them indirectly.
Villain, that was the first word they thought of, but it also allowed the Leisure Guild’s leader to relax a bit. As long as Li Yao didn’t rob the boss, what does a few snide remarks matter? It might as well be a dog barking.
Finally, under the hoping eyes of the Leisure Guild players, the Sea Giant’s health finally dropped to 0%,
In the end, it made a grim scream and died.
Excitement washed over the faces of everyone in the Leisure Guild. They cheered loudly and eagerly turned their sights towards the corner of the screen, anticipating the rainbow colored news feed flickering across.
The Leisure Guild leader was also incredibly excited, preparing speeches in his heart to praise his comrades after the announcement came.
Lia Yao also became nervous, watching the message board, while Li Yao continued to eat heartily and without concern.
However, time passed second by second, but the multicolored news feed didn’t appear.
“Where’s the announcement? Why is there no announcement?”
“It must be a system bug, what’s going on?”
The Leisure Guild could keep calm for the first minute, but after another minute passed, the boss of the Leisure Guild forced a smile and said: “The system says there’s no bug, data is normal.”
“Impossible, I’ve checked all the announcement records, no one else has killed this boss before, it definitely must be a first kill.”
“Damn it, how can this be.”
“Even if there’s an error, they need to admit it. Let’s lodge a complaint.”
The members of the Leisure Guild were indeed frustrated, their anticipation and excitement now turned into nothing.
“Alright, we won, quickly save those who fell, then loot the body. This is a Level 20 boss, it must have dropped good items.” Although the leader of the Leisure Guild was choked up, there was nothing he could do.
The players of the Leisure Guild suddenly deflated, in their view, equipment and such couldn’t compare to the world announcement of being the first to kill a high-level leader.
The leader of the Leisure Guild looked to Liu Yao puzzled, Liu Yao raised his glass for a toast, the leader forced a smile uglier than crying in response and then walked over to loot the corpse.
However, just after a moment, the expression on the Leisure Guild’s leader’s face changed.
“Boss, what’s wrong?” One player asked.
The leader of the Leisure Guild opened his hand, inside was a blue-quality pearl necklace and three Gold Coins, three Gold Coins were not a small sum, but if it is really calculated, these things couldn’t even make up for the levels of the few people they lost.
“There’s nothing else.”
The Leisure Guild leader’s face turned red, he pocketed the money, while the blue pearl necklace that gleamed with light was taken by the black boss, who said, “I will transfer the remaining money later”, and then laughed while nodding to Li Yao. He then used his Hearthstone, apparently in a hurry to complete a mission.
“How can this be, this is a Level 20 boss.”
Many people did not believe, so they all turned over the boss’s body. All the people together pushed the boss’s body aside, but the place it was laying was completely empty underneath.
Everyone was dumbfounded, what was happening? Then, they searched around again in vain, there was nothing.
Li Yao walked over to the Leisure Guild’s leader, and said, “What a pity, how come there’s so little loot, but the boss, the Leisure Guild can allow the guild miners to gather from the Sea Giant’s corpse, and expect a couple of Gold Coins at least.”
The Leisure Guild’s leader gave a bitter smile: “We are all fighters here, we didn’t bring any mining masters, forget it, we don’t want it.”
“That’s one Gold Coin, the Leisure Guild really is lavish.” Li Yao complimented.
“If you can mine, just go ahead and do it, we don’t want it.” The Leisure Guild’s leader had no mood left to deal with Li Yao, he was not in a good mood and feared that he couldn’t help but give the command for a big spell.
“Is this okay though? After all, this is the boss you guys killed, how can I mine it?” Li Yao looked very eager, but also somewhat embarrassed.
“No problem, just go ahead and mine, even if you mine a mountain of gold or silver, it’s yours. We, the Leisure Guild, give up on this boss’s corpse.” The Leisure Guild’s leader said impatiently.
“Alright, since you’re offering so graciously, I can’t refuse, I’ll just mine a bit.” Li Yao said as he slowly walked towards the boss…
