Chapter 25
Chapter 25 Do You Dare to Duel with Me?
All the players listed in the power ranking of the game were highly-skillful, and Sacred TempleメCloud Top was only second to Bluegreen-Clad on the ranking. Nevertheless, in a gang war, no matter how capable an individual was, he or she could never win the battle on his or her own.
For example, in a duel, Zheng Xiaoguang would never be able to slay the assassin named Shallow Sleep, who was exceptionally fast and aggressive. However, she had killed Shallow Sleep for three times just now with the help of her fellow gang members.
Bluegreen-Clad had also used this crowd tactic to suppress the very powerful summoner called Bitter Tea. He had picked several assassins and warriors and sent them to surround and attack Bitter Tea. By doing so, he had successfully stopped the summoner from getting close to the main hall.
During gang wars, individual skills and strengths were not as important as tactics and teamwork.
Although Sacred TempleメCloud Top had succeeded in breaking into the main hall, he could never defeat so many members of the League of Strong Families by himself now, not to mention that these members were the strongest players of the League of Strong Families.
[Nearby] Sacred TempleメCloud Top: Bluegreen-Clad, don’t you feel ashamed of yourself for defeating me with the help of a group of people? Do you dare to duel with me? If I lose, the Sacred Temple will give up the city. If you lose, you have to leave this city with all the members of the League of Strong Families and promise to never come back again.
Generally speaking, Bluegreen-Clad did not need to grant this ridiculous request from Sacred TempleメCloud Top at all. With the help of his fellow gang members, he could easily slew Sacred TempleメCloud Top and capture Vermilion Bird City. He did not need to feel ashamed about that, as this was a battle between two gangs not a fight between two players.
Nevertheless, Bluegreen-Clad promised him.
[Nearby] Bluegreen-Clad: Alright, I’ll duel with you, but if you lose, I won’t make you promise to never come back again.
Everyone was surprised and thought, “Wow, our god-like Bluegreen-Clad is so confident. He was telling Sacred TempleメCloud Top that he was not afraid of fighting him one-on-one or fighting another gang war against him.”
Sacred TempleメCloud Top was irritated and used his archer skill “Hail of Arrows” to attack Bluegreen-Clad. The gang members who stood close to Bluegreen-Clad got accidentally wounded but they just withdrew instead of fighting back, since their gang boss had promised to fight Sacred TempleメCloud Top one-on-one.
When Zheng Xiaoguang went to add blood for the wounded gang members who were injured by the “Hail of Arrows”, she saw Bluegreen-Clad transform Sacred TempleメCloud Top into a fox which quickly began fleeing with its tail between its legs.
As the main hall was not very spacious, Bluegreen-Clad quickly caught up with Sacred TempleメCloud Top and used his skill “Cold Bone” to injure him, making him lose more than half of his blood. Upon seeing that Critical Damage, everyone was surprised and thought that Bluegreen-Clad must have added some Critical Damage Magic Stones to his weapon.
When Sacred TempleメCloud Top transformed back into an archer, he did not have much blood left. He attacked Bluegreen-Clad using his single attack skill called “Precise Long-range Shot”. By doing so, he would seldom miss his target and would be able to cause severe damage.
To his surprise, Bluegreen-Clad managed to dodge the attack and then slew him with an advanced magician skill before he could be able to launch another attack.
Everyone was stunned by the speed of the god-like Bluegreen-Clad.
Upon seeing Sacred TempleメCloud Top being slain by their gang boss, members of the League of Strong Families were thrilled and sent numerous congratulation messages to him.
[Gang] One-inch Monk: Boss, I’m so impressed that I even want to kow-tow to you now.
[Gang] Big Fish Eats Small Fish: Boss, I admire no one but you.
[Gang] Li Lei: Now you guys know why Bluegreen-Clad can become our gang boss even when he doesn’t manage the gang very often. He’s the peerless ace of our gang, our trump card.
[Gang] Thump-thump-thump: Boss, I want to have a baby with you.
[Gang] Small Fish Eats Small Shrimp: Thump-thump-thump can never have a baby. He’s a man. Flowing Light, just ignore this gay man.
[Gang] Flowing Light: [Calm Face] It’s fun to have so many interesting gang members.
There were still 10 minutes left for the siege battle, but the Sacred Temple did not come back during the 10 minutes. As such, Bluegreen-Clad quickly found the NPC and captured the city.
Game Message: Congratulations to the League of Strong Families for capturing Vermilion Bird City of the Celestial Dynasty under the lead of their gang boss Bluegreen-Clad. Let’s cheer for them!
The system had sent the message to all the channels for ten times. Bluegreen-Clad changed the settings on his YY gang channel to let everyone have a chance to speak.
“It feels so f*cking great!” One-inch Monk laughed out loud and then added, “Our gang boss is fierce, and thank you very much, Flowing Light.”
Compared to their always trustworthy gang boss, the gang members were actually more impressed by Flowing Light’s performance during the battle. She had not only managed to take care of Bluegreen-Clad but also helped the other gang members such as One-inch Monk a lot.
Beating War Drums in Spring Breeze echoed. “Yes, yes, Flowing Light is great. Our gang boss did marry a right person. Hah-hah.”
A female doctor also echoed. “Yes, Flowing Light. You’re a fierce doctor.”
The gang members who had not liked Flowing Light very much before gradually accepted her as their new friend. They thought, “Our gang boss was right. No matter where Flowing Light comes from, she’s one of us now.”
Zheng Xiaoguang could not help but admire Bluegreen-Clad even more while seeing the gang burst into cheers. She thought, “Bluegreen-Clad is always such a great guy. He’s good at fighting a duel and commanding a battle. And he’s very…”
[Private Chat] You talk to Bluegreen-Clad: Did you deliberately wait for me to become well-equipped enough for this siege battle?
[Private Chat] Bluegreen-Clad talks to you: Honey, you’re really smart.
Upon seeing that, Zheng Xiaoguang thought, “I’ve guessed right.
“Since joining the League of Strong Families, I’ve seldom had a chance to make friends with the other gang members except for Han Meimei and her husband. In the beginning, they didn’t like me very much and even treated me as an outsider.
“I felt quite helpless at that time. I was a new member in this gang and before joining this gang, the Matchless and the League of Strong Families often fought against each other. Besides, back then, my level was low and my equipment was not good enough. It was indeed hard for the members of the League of Strong Families to accept me as their gang boss’s wife.
“I thought that Bluegreen-Clad never gave much thought to my adverse situation, but now it turns out that I was wrong. The reason he worked so hard to unlock level-85 purple equipment and to forge Yellow Spring Sword for me was that he planned to let me impress the other gang members during the siege battle. They wanted me to take this chance to gain their recognition.”
Bluegreen-Clad’s plan worked. After the siege battle, more and more gang members liked to make friends with Flowing Light instead of Venus Will Cry. Female doctors in the gang often asked Flowing Light how to gain levels, complete missions and forge equipment.
[Gang] Nine-Tailed Red Fox: Flowing Light, can you tell me how you’ve forged your Magic Stones? I discovered during the siege battle that you could provide much more blood than me.
[Gang] June: Yes, yes. I nearly got slain by Bitter Tea from the Sacred Temple during the battle. It was Flowing Light who added blood for me in time to save me.
At such times, some gang member would feel displeased and retort bitterly.
[Gang] Little Girl: Humph, she’s fierce because of the top-notch equipment that our gang boss has forged for her. Do you guys really believe that she can teach you anything? She’s only able to teach you how to seduce a god-like player.
Zheng Xiaoguang usually chose to ignore her to avoid quarreling with this simple-minded girl. She just explained all the details for the female doctors who needed her help.
[Gang] Flowing Light: Yes, our gang boss forged the equipment for me, but I can tell you the secret tricks. You can add Critical Damage and the other offensive Magic Stones to your weapon and necklace and add blood-adding and defensive Magic Stones to your clothes and other equipment.
[Gang] June: Critical Damage?
[Gang] Flowing Light: Yes. Doctors are endowed with great defensive magics, but compared to magicians and summoners, our offensive magics are much weaker. Once you add some Critical Damage Magic Stones to your weapon and necklace, your offensive force will be increased by several times. With the help of those stones, you can cause Critical Damage once every two times you strike and you’ll be able to provide more blood and contribute more to the team. As for our defensive force, we just need some non-magical defensive stones to incease our originally low non-magical defensive force.
[Gang] Nine-Tailed Red Fox: Oh, I see.
[Gang] Flowing Light: I’m not very professional, but I can tell you all that I know. So just feel free to ask me.
[Gang] Nine-Tailed Red Fox: Great, thank you, Flowing Light!
Gradually, Flowing Light became increasingly popular in the League of Strong Families, and Little Girl and Venus Will Cry who always hid behind Little Girl became silent on the gang channel.
