The developers still haven't forgiven the players.

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, the chieftain of the barbarian tribe did not retort but instead became cautious.

Jiang Chen's nonchalant attitude made the tribal chief uneasy, forcing him to observe closely and try to determine his strength.

During the standoff,

The remaining players, regaining their senses, all ran behind Jiang Chen to hide.

Many games include boss battles where NPCs provide assistance.

The impact of supporting NPCs on the boss battle depends on whether this segment aims to tell the story or test the player.

For example, in "Wolong: Fall of the Sky", the support NPCs, no matter if their names are Cao Cao, Zhao Yun or whatever, as long as you dare to let them fight the BOSS alone while you watch from the sidelines, they will dare to die for you.

In these types of games, the support NPCs are clearly just for atmosphere; the real test of a player is in the boss battles.

If we switch to the scene from Black Myth where the Great Sage Huang Feng fights the giant weasel, after hearing the giant weasel shout "I'm here to help you," just stay far away to ensure your survival, and you can easily win this boss battle.

This is more about character development than about making things difficult for players.

After all, Tianxia Buwu had shared his experience of Jiang Chen helping him, easily defeating a squad of beastmen warriors, demonstrating unfathomable strength.

Therefore, in the current perception of these players, Jiang Chen clearly belongs to the latter category.

Several players even started excitedly complaining loudly.

"Revered powerful figure! This is the murderer!"

"He killed many of our people, you must not let him go."

"Kill him!"

When the players were in despair, seeing Jiang Chen appear was like a primary school student being beaten up and seeing their cousin with a big tattoo on his arm come to pick them up from school.

The shift from an extremely oppressive state to a triumphant one, coupled with the immersive virtual reality experience, made existing players forget that Jiang Chen was just an NPC.

anyway,

Jiang Chen doesn't actually care how the player community views him.

Whether you treat him as a key main character or an insignificant NPC, it doesn't matter.

As long as someone can honestly grind for levels, they're a good player to him.

They only came to the rescue to prevent all the players from dying.

We need to keep a few, otherwise who will get the rewards from the "BOSS battle"?

Of course, before that, we have to take down this tribal chieftain in front of us.

"Aren't you going to make a move?"

Jiang Chen's tone remained calm as always, with a hint of amusement in it: "If I make the first move, you won't have a chance."

Although the tribal chief was wary of him, he wouldn't remain indifferent to being mocked to his face.

He then sneered, "Playing coy. If you were truly strong, why would you hide until now to show yourself?"

Jiang Chen did not refute with words, but responded with actions.

He walked slowly toward the chieftain of the barbarian tribe. To the chieftain, each step sounded like the beating of a war drum, and with each step, his aura rose a step higher.

The gradually boiling blood energy, accompanied by a majestic aura, resembled a moving volcano, about to erupt.

Feeling the undisguised, heavy pressure, the chieftain's face grew increasingly grim. He was certain that the sheer magnitude of this blood energy surpassed even his prime.

"Of course you can't understand."

Jiang Chen abruptly switched his next words to a language the players could understand.

"What a warrior desires most is to die on the battlefield, so you sharpened your weapon, reorganized your remaining troops, and attacked the human race... When did your thoughts change? Perhaps it was when you left your weapon on the High Stone battlefield, or perhaps even earlier."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen had already arrived in front of the chieftain of the Beast Clan, his aura rising to its peak.

He slowly raised his hand and clenched his fist.

"Your defeat was sealed at that time."

A fist as hard as cast iron crashed down like Mount Tai.

The tribal chieftain could sense a power far surpassing his own, originating from the Heavenly-level military technique, "Wumu Body Forging Technique."

As a Heaven-level military technique, it has already touched upon the level of Dao. Before the fist even arrived, the heavy pressure had already restricted the actions of the beastman's centurion.

Although Jiang Chen's movements did not appear swift, in the eyes of the tribal chieftain, they were as swift as a gazelle leaping off a cliff, impossible to avoid.

The air in front of the fist was pushed aside, and the terrifying power fluctuations seemed to distort the space itself.

As death approached, the barbarian chieftain felt a sense of relief, inwardly sighing, "So this level of military strategy belongs to a powerful figure from the Ministry of War?"

The fist landed.

Boom!!!

Blood surged, fists howled, and a violent force swept out.

Players standing dozens of meters away couldn't help but close their eyes in the strong wind.

The flesh and blood of the tribal chieftain were torn apart inch by inch, and white bones were flying everywhere. Among them, a few bones could still be seen emitting a faint glow.

These battle bones are the most suitable weapon materials for warriors at the Blood Transformation Realm.

The turbulence, like a sudden storm, lasted for nearly ten seconds before gradually subsiding.

Players who watched the whole thing were all horrified.

They were nearly slaughtered by the tribal chieftain, which made them realize just how ridiculously strong this boss was.

I originally thought I would be able to witness a fierce battle.

As a result, the ferocious BOSS had no chance to fight back against this hidden master in the newbie village and was instantly blasted into mincemeat.

Even though they knew Jiang Chen was an ally, the remaining players' hearts were still pounding wildly in the face of such exaggerated performance.

Old Kuai took a deep breath and tried his best to control his legs to prevent them from trembling.

Chunse sat down on the ground with a thud, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

Seeing the entire district rampage and Dog Brother being taken down like chicks up close terrified him.

After all, his old buddies were all at roughly the same level. With these two examples as a warning, he was certain that rushing in headfirst would not lead to any other outcome.

Realizing this, he quickly distanced himself from the other players, barely surviving thanks to his superior strength compared to most of them.

Although it's a bit shameful for a top-tier player to play defensively when things go wrong, losing face is completely acceptable compared to having your level reset.

Compared to the astonished players, Peng Zhi displayed a fanatical expression, exclaiming as if on a pilgrimage: "I finally watched a complete scene! It was awesome, absolutely amazing, even better than ejaculating!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's eyelids twitched.

I don't really understand the thinking of these obsessed players.

I barely managed to say something like, "If I hear such disgusting words again, I'll go deaf myself."

With a stern face, he pointed to a pool of flesh at his feet, indicating that the players could freely refine and absorb the blood essence of the Beast Tribe Centurion.

After doing all this, without waiting for the player's response, he returned to the second-floor villa alone.
