Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 144 Wild BOSS
Sun rise.

Roy, with tears streaming down his face, was slowly frozen in time in the sunlight.

Lin Hanchuan looked at her, shook his head and sighed.

There are definitely other endings, but Lin Hanchuan didn't plan to grind them again. Once the [Dawn of the Day] dungeon is released this time, he probably won't come back again.

"Finally reached S-rank completion!" Long Xiaochen stretched under the rising sun and sighed, "If I want to improve the completion of story-based dungeons, I still have to follow the story."

"During the first run, if Xiaoyue hadn't used [The Sound of Silence] to forcefully suppress Roy's madness and let her hold on until sunrise, we would have been in an awkward situation!"

"Your Musician profession is truly amazing!" Cao Renjie couldn't help but admire Long Xiaoyue. "And this is just a regular profession. If it were a hidden profession like ours, it would be invincible."

Long Xiaoyue smiled but didn't say anything.

However, for musicians, this is a profession that allows them to fully utilize their musical talents.

She was very satisfied.

As for the hidden profession, Long Xiaoyue naturally wanted it.

If not, that's okay.

It doesn't affect her current strength.

"Boss, what reward did you get?" Cao Renjie then looked at Lin Hanchuan.

"One six-star gem and one dimensional teleportation crystal," Lin Hanchuan replied, sharing the information about the dimensional teleportation crystal and the six-star gem in the Heavenly Dao Squad chat group.

[Dimensional Teleportation Crystal]

……

……

Dawn Gem

Quality: Lower six stars

After wearing it, at dawn every day (for three minutes), your own attributes and status will be temporarily increased by 100%;

During the day, mana: +5000 + 20% of base mana cap, spell attack: +200, intelligence: +10, spirit: +30;

At night, mana increases by 1000 + 10% of base mana, spell attack increases by 50, intelligence increases by 5, and spirit increases by 10.

Required professions: Mage, Musician, Priest, Divine Sorcerer...

Assembly requirements: None!

"A prop for being a real man for three minutes!" Lin Hanchuan said with a smile after sharing it in the group.

He then took it out and attached it to the Dark Night Crown.

Gems are tools, but their assembly is divided into two types.

One method is for players to equip the gems themselves by placing them in a slot in their inventory. In this case, the gems must be chosen according to the player's class requirements.

However, the backpack doesn't have many slots, usually only thirty.

Furthermore, items placed in a player's inventory are assumed not to be dropped upon normal death, unless the player is a red-named player or the opponent possesses special skills or items.

Therefore, in addition to equipping the necessary items and gear in their backpacks, players also put valuable weapons and other items in their backpacks to prevent them from being looted if they die unexpectedly.

Another method is weapon socketing. Socketing gems into weapons depends on the gem's fitting requirements, not the class requirements. In other words, Dawn Gems can be fitted into any weapon with a socket, and players can obtain the Dawn Gem's wearing effect by wielding the weapon.

However, if the weapon is not bound, it is easy to drop upon death.

Losing a gold-tier weapon isn't a big deal for players; they're just gone. They might feel bad for a couple of days, but they'll be fine once they get a new one.

A six-star gem with special equipment effects is something that would be a lifelong regret for an ordinary player if they lost it.

After placing the Dawn Gem into the crown's groove, Lin Hanchuan took out the Dimensional Teleportation Crystal.

Long Xiaochen and his group immediately focused their attention on the dimensional teleportation crystal.

Long Xiaochen stared at the cracked crystal in his hand and exclaimed in surprise, "This...this...this!! Is this the kind of item that can be obtained as a reward from a level 15 dungeon?"

"According to its information description, it seems that we can not only teleport across dimensions, but also across regions. In critical moments, we can even conduct a cross-regional operation."

Cao Renjie took the dimensional teleportation crystal from Long Xiaochen and nodded, "That's certainly a viable method. However, the problem is that it seems to be a one-time use teleportation item, only allowing one-way teleportation. How will we get back then?"

"What's the point of going back?!" Long Xiaochen exclaimed excitedly. "Let's keep breaking through and become the strongest!"

Long Xiaoyue couldn't help but pour cold water on the idea, "Have you forgotten why we failed in the first district? If we continue to focus on increasing our own combat power instead of developing our influence, even if we are currently in an absolute lead over other players, we will repeat the same mistakes in the future."

"Uh!" Long Xiaochen immediately calmed down and said awkwardly, "I was overthinking it! I almost forgot our main purpose in entering the Ninth District."

Long Xiaoyue glanced at the dimensional teleportation crystal and handed it to Xingchen.

Xingchen glanced at it and then handed it to Lin Hanchuan.

After Lin Hanchuan put it away, Long Xiaochen couldn't help but ask, "Captain, should we run the Shura-level [Dawn] dungeon again?"

"Hmm?" Lin Hanchuan looked at Long Xiaochen in confusion.

Long Xiaochen quickly explained, "A totem! The puppet flower totem on Roy's body, wasn't it supposed to be for Xingchen?"

"Let's try again and see if we can finalize this. If the stars have a totem, it will be a great help to us in the future."

Lin Hanchuan shook his head and said, "Didn't I already say that the main reward of the [Dawn] dungeon is gems? The totems are just a driving force needed for the development of the plot?"

"No matter how much Roy agrees in the end, the Puppet Flower Totem will not fall on Xingchen."

Lin Hanchuan looked at Roy, who was frozen in the distance like a statue, and continued speaking.

"When Roy obtains the complete totem, the sunrise mechanism will be triggered, and dawn will arrive. At that time, our Shura-level [Dawn] dungeon will end, and we will no longer be able to interact with the characters in the dungeon."

"This bug can't be exploited!"

After saying that, Lin Hanchuan also felt a little regretful.

Roy's puppet flower totem is quite good. Based on the battle during the first playthrough, once it's developed to the second stage, he can control thousands of puppets.

If the Heavenly Path Squad has this totem, they can just go straight into group battles in the future.

But it's really impossible to obtain.

The totem is merely one of the elements that drives the storyline of the Shura-level [Dawn of Light] dungeon; it is not a reward.

"Let's go!" Lin Hanchuan glanced at Roy one last time before exiting the Shura-level [Dawn] instance.

We've exited the instance.

At dawn, a new record appears on the record stone.

First place: Heavenly Path Team (Arakawa White Owl)
Difficulty: Asura level
Completion level: S

Clearance time: 1 hours and 35 minutes

After completing the Shura-level [Dawn] dungeon for the second time, both the completion time and the level of completion far exceeded the first time.

In addition, I received the rewards I didn't get from the first clear: a six-star gem - Dawn Gem, and a Dimensional Teleportation Crystal.

Dawn Gems are special rewards, given only once per dungeon run. They won't be available again after a second run. For example, the stage rewards for a second run are far less valuable than those for the first run.

The gems Roy gave were all three-star quality.

The loot dropped after killing monsters has not only decreased in quantity, but its quality has also dropped significantly.

"They're out! They're out! The Heavenly Dao Squad is out!"

"Finally out!"

The entire Heavenly Path team had just emerged from the [Dawn of the Day] instance when they were greeted by the cacophony of other players.

There were quite a few players around, about seven or eight hundred. Including those still in the [Dawn of the Day] instance, the total number of players in the [Dawn of the Day] instance at this moment definitely exceeded a thousand.

This was mainly due to the conversation between Long Xiaochen and his team and Lin Hanchuan, which provided the players present with a simplified guide to the hellish [Dawn] dungeon.

Use this guide.

Just a few hours.

More than twenty teams have already achieved the record for clearing the Hell-level [Dawn] dungeon.

They also provided more detailed supplements to the simplified guide.

The current Hell difficulty "Dawn of the Night" dungeon guide has a high margin for error, allowing even a full 10-man level 14 team to clear it, basically meeting the general requirements of a complete Hell difficulty guide.

Guide to Level 15 Hell difficulty dungeons.

This single temptation was enough to draw players from all directions.

"It took much faster than the last time I cleared the Shura-level [Dawn] dungeon."

"I knew that Arakawa Shiro was not satisfied with just a C-level completion, but the Heavenly Path Team only got an S-level completion on their second run. It can be seen that the Shura-level [Dawn] dungeon is really difficult."

"Master Arakawa White Owl is spacing out. He's probably looking at the rewards for clearing the Shura-level [Dawn of Light] with an S-rank completion, right? What will it be?"

"The 【Dawn of the Day】 dungeon mainly drops gems, so they must be top-tier gems!"

"I'm so envious! While I'm still using a silver-grade weapon and have no idea where I'll get a gold-grade one, the big shots have already started socketing gems into their beloved weapons!"

The Heavenly Path Squad cleared the Shura-level "Dawn" dungeon for the first time, but only achieved a C-level completion, which shocked many people.

However, getting an S-rank for the second time indicates that the Heavenly Path Team has mastered the core strategies for the Asura-level [Dawn] dungeon.

Players who previously cleared the Hell difficulty "Dawn" dungeon are already getting restless.

"Any bros want to team up to run the Shura-level [Dawn of Light] dungeon? Need two strong tanks!! 1000 reward upon completion!"

"Bro, don't be so confident! You couldn't even stop the giant treant boss at the start of the Shura-level [Dawn of Light] dungeon. If Roy dies, the mission will fail!"

"The Giant Treant BOSS is alright. If three tanks stand in front and the DPS from behind is crazy, we can kill it. The key is that after the Giant Treant BOSS dies, the Earth Elf BOSS and the Giant Flower Monster BOSS appear. The two BOSS monsters work together to kill Roy, and we simply can't hold on!"

Among the crowd were players who, after clearing the Hell difficulty [Dawn] dungeon, immediately moved on to the Asura difficulty and knew quite a bit of inside information.

"Hey bro, do you have a guide for the Shura-level [Dawn of the Day] dungeon?" someone asked Lin Hanchuan loudly.

Lin Hanchuan looked over and said, "Next, I plan to establish a dungeon strategy team. As long as the players in the top five of the combat power rankings of each profession in Wangyue City are included, I will provide strategy videos for all the dungeons we have conquered so far."

"Those who are interested can prepare in advance. The specific method of joining will be announced in the Wangyue City chat channel no later than tomorrow!"

The rankings for all professions in Wangyue City have been released.

Lin Hanchuan is on the list of mages in Wangyue City.

Whether in terms of level or combat power, it is absolutely number one.

Therefore, I never paid attention to it.

However, if you are forming a strategy team, due to the need for various professions, the members should not only be judged by the overall ranking, but also by their performance in their respective professions.

The rankings on the combat power leaderboard are always the most intuitive.

Lin Hanchuan's words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating huge waves.

"A strategy team? Holy crap, Brother Xiao is going to set up a strategy team. Is he starting to build up his power?"

"This is great news! It means that Boss Arakawa Shiro is going to officially take the lead and put the upgrade pace of all of us in Mochizuki City on the fast track."

In the coming.

Strategy teams are usually only found in large guilds.

One of the prerequisites for the continued existence of raid teams is that the guild must have a raid team that can consistently achieve first clears of dungeons.

Currently, only the Heavenly Path Squad in Wangyue City has this strength. The fact that Huangchuan Baixiao wants to form a conquest team clearly indicates that he intends to build his own power in Wangyue City in the future.

Players who join the strategy team will be added in advance.

Once a strategy team is formed, lower-level players will benefit, and with a constant stream of strategies for conquering various dungeons, all players in the city will grow rapidly together.

No one has forgotten that Lin Hanchuan previously said he would release the walkthroughs for all the Shura-level dungeons they cleared for free.

Those who are able to come to the [Dawn of the City] instance are basically the top players in Moon Gazing City, and their names are on the leaderboards of their respective classes.

They were very interested in joining Lin Hanchuan's raiding party. Everyone knew that after Madman was driven out of Wangyue City, if Huangchuan Baixiao formed a guild, it would be the strongest, bar none. Seizing the opportunity to join the raiding party and eventually Huangchuan Baixiao's guild was like investing in early-stage shares.

"The requirements are a bit high! They only require the top five in each profession. I'm only ranked eighteenth on the Divine Mage list, which is still a long way off."

"That's enough! Hahaha, I'm currently ranked fifth on the Priest Ranking."

"That's enough! Third on the priest list!"

"I'm ranked sixth on the vampire power ranking, just a little short. I hope Brother Xiao can delay recruiting!"

"Does the expedition team have reserves? I should be able to join the reserves!"

……

Looking at the excited players around him, Long Xiaochen leaned closer to Lin Hanchuan, lowered his voice, and asked, "Captain, who's leading your raid team?"

Lin Hanchuan had not mentioned the expedition team to them.

This was the first time Long Xiaochen had heard about it.

“Old Mo!” Lin Hanchuan replied.

"Old Mo?" Long Xiaochen frowned and said with some concern, "He hasn't come out of the newbie village yet. In the early stages, he can't possibly suppress these players who are in the top five of the various professional rankings."

The guild has not yet been formed.

The entire strategy team was formed because of Lin Hanchuan.

If Lin Hanchuan doesn't manage it and lets Lao Mo take charge, the morale of the strategy team, which relies on strength, will quickly crumble.

“Don’t I still have you?” Lin Hanchuan said, looking at Long Xiaochen.

"Me?" Long Xiaochen pointed to himself, looking puzzled.

"You'll be the vice-captain of the raiding team!" Lin Hanchuan nodded.

It's definitely not feasible to let Lao Mo manage the strategy team by himself.

Someone needs to keep things under control.

Long Xiaochen is a good candidate.

At this moment, Long Xiaochen became embarrassed: "I...can I do it? I'm actually not very good, I'm far behind you, Captain."

After speaking, Long Xiaochen glanced back at the players who were about to join his ranks.

"Of course!" Lin Hanchuan knew what Long Xiaochen was thinking, and flattered him, "You are the second strongest expert on the Wangyue City combat power list! Who else in our team is more than you to be the deputy captain of the expedition team!"

"Only you can easily subdue those players who disobey Old Mo's discipline with your own combat power."

Long Xiaochen raised his head slightly and looked at Cao Renjie.

Cao Renjie immediately turned his head to look to the side.

With that level of intelligence, Lin Hanchuan would sell him out later.

He should thank Lin Hanchuan for the high price.

Long Xiaoyue was too ashamed to look.

My own older brother is someone who responds only to gentle persuasion and not to force.

The softer he is, the happier he is.

"Sigh! Fine!" Long Xiaochen sighed deliberately. "Captain, since you've said so, I'll take on the role of vice-captain of this expedition team and help Lao Mo share some of the pressure."

"Old Mo will definitely be very grateful to you," Lin Hanchuan replied confidently.

"We're all brothers, no need for thanks!" Long Xiaochen said nonchalantly. "Just have Lao Mo and Lao Cao call me Brother Long."

…………

Just chatting.

Long Xiaoyue suddenly said to Lin Hanchuan, "Captain, someone said in the public chat channel of Wangyue City that they saw a wild BOSS!"

"Where?" Lin Hanchuan immediately asked Long Xiaoyue.

Boss-level monsters can be found in various locations throughout the game.

One type of boss can cross territories and maps, and is known as a wild boss!

This usually happens when a player travels from a high-level map to a low-level map during a raid. This is called a "BOSS map crossing" or a "system bug."

Defeating these wild bosses that appear in the map will be recognized by the system as players assisting in clearing bugs. Therefore, in addition to the basic experience and drops, there will be extra rewards from the system.

Generally, the rewards are reputation points, gold coins, and announcements. There is a small chance of receiving special items, depending on the difference between the wild boss and the current average player's combat power. The greater the difference, the better the rewards.

"I've sent you the coordinates!"

Lin Hanchuan opened the panel and checked the coordinates sent by Long Xiaoyue. It was more than an hour away from here.

Meanwhile, many players were already spamming the public chat channel in Wangyue City.

The Wild Monster is acting up: "I'm following that wild boss right now. Anyone want to take it down? Come on over here! [Coordinates], get to this location, hurry up!!"

The food in the trash can: "What level and rank?"

The Jungle Monster is Unruly: "At least level 30! My talents can now see information about jungle monsters up to level 29, but I can't see their level information right now."

Biscuit Shoes: "A wild BOSS of at least level 30. We need to team up to take it down. If we succeed, the system should give us a special reward."

The Story of the Earth: "I'm here, I'm here!"

……

……

"I saw it!" Long Xiaochen immediately opened the public chat channel of Wangyue City when he heard Long Xiaoyue mention a wild BOSS.

Meanwhile, the players at the scene also noticed the information about wild bosses in the chat channel.

"Something terrible has happened! A wild BOSS of level 30 or higher has appeared on the Loess Road!"

"Holy crap, is this for real?!"

"I don't know! Someone said that in the chat channel, and now a lot of players are rushing over there!"

"Let's go and have a look!"

"This should be the first wild boss in District 9 so far, right?"

"Anyway, I haven't heard of any wild BOSSes appearing in other cities in District 9."

……

While the crowd was making noise.

Many people were secretly watching the entire Heavenly Path Squad, because so far, they were the only ones in the entire Moon Gazing City who had the strength to take down that wild boss that was level 30 or higher.

"Boss!" Cao Renjie called out to Lin Hanchuan, "Are you going or not?"

Cao Renjie was a little anxious.

The appearance of wild bosses is not permanent.

I'll be back in an hour or two.

The longest is only five or six hours.

If players are unable to kill the wild boss during this period, then they will truly have no chance.

"Of course I'll go!" Lin Hanchuan replied.

……

……

The Yellow Earth Avenue is a small map that connects the two large maps, Radiant Forest and Green Lake.

Although the loess road is surrounded by hills, the road itself is exceptionally wide, a yellow dirt road fifty or sixty meters wide, with all sorts of plants growing on both sides, and level 10 or 20 monsters can be seen everywhere.

It is currently the preferred monster-farming map for players who are level 15 or above and enter the city.

However, at this point, no one was farming monsters anymore.

On the dirt road, a huge, ferocious rhinoceros monster was strolling along.

Behind him were rows of players' corpses, some in large patches.

There were thousands of other players around, closely following and looking for an opportunity to make a move.

The Heavenly Path Squad is on its way.

A large group of players who had just been in the [Dawn] instance followed behind him.

"The wild boss that appeared on the Loess Road is a berserk rhinoceros monster. Someone has confirmed its level to be 35 using their special talent!"

"More than 500 players have already died at his hands!"

Long Xiaoyue followed Lin Hanchuan, gathering information about wild BOSSes in the public chat channel of Wangyue City.

"There was a player who died once, saying he was killed by reflected damage. A rhinoceros monster with the ability to reflect damage is at least a high-ranking monster."

Handsome level?

Lin Hanchuan immediately quickened his pace.

The commander-in-chief rank is a rank above the general rank.

There's also a BOSS title.

Even if the system doesn't give extra rewards, you can still get a very good return after winning.

We arrived at the Loess Avenue at dawn.

The Heavenly Path Team spent more than an hour.

There are already tens of thousands of players at the scene.

A densely packed area.

At the center of the players' attention was the berserk rhino monster, which was walking back, surrounded by the corpses of players.

The number of players who have died at the hands of the berserk rhino monster has now exceeded one thousand.

The surrounding players continued to try to capture the berserk rhino.

"It's going back to the Radiant Forest!"

"Stop it immediately!"

"Brothers, let's stick together this time!"

Unfortunately, the nearly 20-level difference, coupled with the unique skills of the Berserk Rhino Monster boss, meant that the players' attacks were practically ineffective against them.

On the contrary, a single fearless charge from the berserk rhino boss can kill a large number of players.

The moment Lin Hanchuan and his group arrived, they were noticed by the players present.

"They're here! The Heavenly Dao Squad is here!"

"Everyone, make way!"

"Hey, get out of the way, the Heavenly Dao Squad is here to deal with it."

Information from the Heavenly Path Team.

It has already spread far and wide.

Therefore, the moment Lin Hanchuan appeared, the players on site made way for him.
