MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 717: Chapter 717: Out of the Game
 

However, it was not over yet, as Li Yao had just released an explosion shot.

This time, though, the explosion shot was released just a tad slower.

Thump, thump, thump…

Three volleys, a total of fifteen arrows buried directly in Tie Niu’s back. His screams abruptly ceased, his health value immediately drained to zero.

Boom…

Tie Niu fell onto the ground, stirring up a thick dust cloud.

Witnessing the still quivering arrows in Tie Niu’s back, everyone’s heart ran cold. They instinctively touched their backs and retreated one step.

Damn it, they can even play like this.

Not just here, countless viewers of the livestream also had their rear ends clench. Their gaze at Li Yao shifted instantaneously.

Everyone knew that with each increase in level, the game becomes more and more realistic, especially in terms of pain perception.

By the time the Trial Ground opened, everyone knew that the feeling of pain had increased significantly. Even if you had enough health, if you couldn’t bear the pain, it would affect your performance, naturally affecting your combat power.

Fingers, neck, backside… These sensitive spots were even worse, instantly realizing how unbearable those three volleys of arrows were when they heard Tie Niu’s screams before his death.

Everyone had heard Tie Niu’s boasting. But now, seeing this situation, not only was there no sympathy or collective resentment, but there was glee at his misfortune instead.

Now, Tie Niu was famous, not for his splendid skills, not his superb combat techniques, and definitely not for his big mouth, but for the three arrows from Li Yao.

‘Butthole Cow’, from this moment onwards, not only the Chinese players, but those from all administrative regions also recognized him well.

From this day onwards, you could be ignorant about who the Hunting King was, you could not know who the top talents in the administrative district were, even some didn’t recognize Edward, but as soon as ‘Butthole Cow’ was mentioned, everyone instantly conjured the image of a pudgy, vulgar figure with a cluster of arrows trembling behind him.

Given such a wonderful opportunity to gain fame, the fool must be thankful to me.” Li Yao grinned, packing up his bow and arrows.

Tie Niu, in a random cemetery, directly revived as a specter. His howl of anguish: “Prairie Fire, your grandpa is not done with you yet.”

Ignoring the other revived players who gave him perturbed looks, he promptly logged out. His current feelings, words couldn’t describe, he felt… complicated…

Li Yao didn’t magnify the remaining eight players’ uneasiness by making them retreat another step.

“How do you want to fight? We, Starfire, are ready.” Li Yao said.

The remaining eight looked at each other, all understanding one thing: Fight, hell no, we can’t die like this.

Just looking at Tie Niu’s corpse turning to dust tells you that this is unacceptable, even if you die, you can’t bear the shame to return as a ghost.

The remaining eight completely ignored Li Yao, quietly chose to surrender, and were then transported out of here.

“Ahem, if you didn’t want to fight, at least say so.” Li Yao muttered under his breath, looking at the strange expressions on Starfire’s faces. “Hey, what are you looking at?”

“Ahem…nothing…Hurry up and plant the flag.” Li Jie turned her head and said.

“Brother, you’re so good. I learned too, hehe. I’m sure that stupid bull will remember this. I will try this next time too, but my skills are inconvenient. No, let me think about this.” Only the adorable Tongtong was exceptionally excited.

Li Yao paused, not daring to carry on the conversation. If he were to corrupt Tongtong, Li Jie would probably kill him.

Li Yao planted the guild’s flag in the center, and the flag of Starfire began to flutter, along with a countdown timer of six hours.

Guardian Angel cleared her throat and said, “Quick, discuss who will challenge. Otherwise, by the time we take this base, people might think you guys surrendered it to Starfire.”

Who wants to go?

Starting from all sides the people unanimously pushed and shoved. Time went by: ten minutes, twenty minutes, and then half an hour passed, and still no outcome.

Those from Starfire grew impatient and started playing Gwent, a card game that was just introduced in the system update.

Players can collect and buy basic cards from different NPCs and various regions and obtain card packs by doing tasks or participating in activities. Opening these packs could yield various special cards.

Basic cards were grey and white, while special cards included Blue Cards, Purple Cards, Gold Cards, Orange Cards, and even Rainbow Cards.

Players would then put together a deck from their obtained cards and fight against each other.

The two different sets of cards had their own distinctive features, very addictive and tested player’s wits and luck.

Despite only being introduced a few days ago, it had already spread throughout the whole game. Even people who didn’t play the game were making these cards for fun.

Actually, the two games could exist independently of each other.

Now the most common greeting among players was, “Bro, do you fancy a game of Gwent?”

Players could also battle NPCs, an NPC might say, “Warrior, my wife was captured by monsters, why don’t we play a game of Gwent?” which had already become a running joke.

Whether it was in the night market, pubs, or even during leveling breaks, players could be seen everywhere playing these two games.

Starfire’s team members were no exception. They had already started the first Starfire Gwent tournament.

Ten or so minutes later a whole hour had almost passed, finally, ten players emerged from the crowd.

Out of these ten, seven were colonels, obviously it was an alliance of different teams.

“Hey, have you guys decided yet? How about we play a round of Gwent instead?” Angel casually suggested.

“Sure…” The lead warrior was about to agree, but came to his senses. “No, we are here to challenge you.”

The members of Starfire immediately put their card games away and stood up. “That’s a mood-killer,” grumbled Li Yao, who was on the verge of winning against Unparalleled Beauty. “How do you want to play?”

Li Yao could tell that they didn’t intend to use their advantage in numbers. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have signalled to them.

“Ahem, consider this: You won’t make a move and we won’t use our seven colonels either. The remaining three will challenge any of you except your healers. We’ll play three games, best of two. What do you think?” A female Mage colonel proposed.

Li Yao ogled at her voluptuous curves and coughed, “I don’t think it’s necessary. We could easily wipe you all out with just one charge. Why should we play by your rules?”

“One Colonel Medal, if you agree to our proposition and win, we will present you with a Colonel Medal.” The female Mage adjusted her posture and winked at Li Yao.

Before Li Yao could respond, Tongtong interjected, “No way!”…
