Tactical Arrangements

After agreeing to cooperate with the Night Rain Family, Night Rain Misty also accepted Yan Hua Yi Leng's conditions regarding the distribution of loot and was quite supportive of lending them equipment.

Seeing Yan Hua Yi Leng bluntly ask for the equipment she needed, Ye Luo did not hold back either. After taking a brief look, he said, "I need a cloak. Also, my legguards and shoes are too low-level and need replacing. Of course, it would be even better if you could lend me a ring. One of my ring slots is still empty."

Hearing Yan Hua Yi Leng and Ye Luo Zhi Qiu's words, Night Rain Misty and the others were utterly shocked. They had not expected the two of them to have so much equipment, nearly a full set. Most of them only had four or five pieces, while even more people had only three. It was truly depressing.

Depressed as she was, Night Rain Misty still had the person in charge of tallying equipment check. Then she frowned slightly and said, "Sister Yan Hua, we have some ordinary equipment like shoes and legguards, but among all of us, we only have one cloak, and it's only level 7. What do you think..."

"Only one? Then we'll have to make do." Yan Hua Yi Leng frowned slightly before nodding. "Bring the best legguards, shoes, and helmet. One ring would be good too. Ye Luo Zhi Qiu will be tanking, and if his attack is higher, he will be less likely to lose aggro."

Night Rain Misty nodded and ordered someone to bring the equipment over. Ye Luo received a pair of level 9 shoes with 18-18 Defense, level 10 legguards with around 20 Defense, and a cloak with 15 Defense. His Defense immediately increased by nearly 40 points, surpassing 100. There was also a ring, though it was only level 5 and added 10 attack. Better than nothing.

Yan Hua Yi Leng also changed into new equipment, greatly increasing her Defense. She looked at Night Rain Misty. "We still need to make some preparations. Send people to buy more pills, and get some bread from the tavern. That kind of bread restores 5 HP per second and will be very useful to us."

"Sister Yan Hua, it's not that we don't want to buy them. We simply have no money left. You know how difficult it is to support so many people in the early stages. The money we get from killing monsters barely keeps us going." Night Rain Misty's face was full of embarrassment.

As though she understood how much major guilds spent on purchasing pills in bulk for leveling during the early stages, Yan Hua Yi Leng looked at Ye Luo. He immediately understood and traded her 1 Gold Coin, leaving himself with only a little over 30 Silver Coins.

Yan Hua Yi Leng also took out her 2 Gold Coins and traded them to Night Rain Misty. "These Gold Coins should be enough. Buy at least three loaves of bread. As for pills, the more the better. Give us a few loaves of bread when the time comes, but you can keep the pills for yourselves."

Night Rain Misty was once again shocked by Yan Hua Yi Leng's wealth, but she did not hesitate and promptly sent people off to buy the supplies.

Turning to Ye Luo, Yan Hua Yi Leng said, "Ye Luo, I remember you gathered quite a lot of herbs. Refine some Major Blood Recovery Pills in case of emergencies. Their effects are much better than Minor Blood Recovery Pills, and if you're lucky enough to make Mutated Pills, they might save lives at a critical moment."

Ye Luo nodded without saying anything and began refining pills while listening to Yan Hua Yi Leng arrange their tactics.

"Night Rain Misty, to be safe, you should also send out someone with high HP and Defense." Yan Hua Yi Leng said this while seemingly glancing at Night Rain Madman. "The knight in your party should have put all his points into Constitution, right? Gather some equipment for him, and his Defense should reach at least 140, while his HP should reach around 1,300. He should be able to hold out for a while."

Listening to Yan Hua Yi Leng arrange the tactics, Ye Luo secretly laughed. Yan Hua Yi Leng really was a woman who held grudges.

"Miss Yan Hua, although I put all my points into Constitution, my attack power is extremely low. I can't hold aggro at all." Night Rain Madman hurriedly explained. Naturally, he knew how dangerous tanking monsters was.

"You only need to block its path and obstruct its line of sight. You can do that, can't you?" Yan Hua Yi Leng said indifferently. She looked at Ye Luo. "Ye Luo has just over 400 HP and lower Defense than you, yet he still dares to tank monsters. Don't you dare? Or do you lack confidence in your ability to block the monster?"

"Brother Madman, don't worry. With enough pills and bread, you'll be fine." Night Rain Misty said, her pretty face turning much colder as her tone became commanding.

Night Rain Misty understood Yan Hua Yi Leng quite well. Unlike Ye Luo, she would not think that Yan Hua Yi Leng was doing this out of spite. She was the type of strategist who only cared about achieving her objective.

Perhaps realizing that he had acted a little cowardly, Night Rain Madman nodded and went off to borrow equipment.

"Night Rain Misty, how many priests do you have? Have they learned a healing skill?" Yan Hua Yi Leng asked again.

"We have two or three priests, but we didn't have enough money to learn skills. Only one person learned a healing skill." Night Rain Misty's pretty face reddened slightly as she pointed at Ye Yu Yaorao beside her. "It's her."

Ye Luo had learned skills before, so he knew that each skill cost 1 Gold Coin, practically an astronomical price during the early stages of the game. Priests also had to learn Staff Mastery, or they could not even use staffs. That alone consumed a considerable amount of money. The Ye Yu Gang was a team, and in order to develop, they had bought many pills. They simply did not have enough money to learn skills.

Still, they knew how important a priest was to a team. Having only one priest who had learned a healing skill was undoubtedly humiliating, which was why Night Rain Misty's face had reddened.

"Only one? That's a little too few." Yan Hua Yi Leng's tone remained unchanged as she muttered to herself, "A priest's beginner Spring Revival restores 60 HP with a cooldown of 10 seconds. If managed properly, it should barely be enough, though it will be somewhat dangerous. But Ye Luo Zhi Qiu has enough pills to replenish himself, so it should work."

After thinking this over, Yan Hua Yi Leng looked at Ye Yu Yaorao. "Ye Yu Yaorao, you will be solely responsible for healing Ye Luo Zhi Qiu. Don't let his HP fall below 200. Can you do that?"

Perhaps knowing Yan Hua Yi Leng's reputation, Ye Yu Yaorao was a little timid. After a long while, she nodded firmly.

"Remember not to pull the Wolf King's aggro. Healing Skills are the easiest way to attract aggro." Yan Hua Yi Leng warned before looking at Night Rain Madman and Night Rain Misty. "Protect the priest. The mages and other ranged attackers should assess the situation and attack only after Ye Luo Zhi Qiu has fully secured aggro. Pay attention to your attack rhythm and don't steal aggro."

Upon hearing this, the ranged players, including Night Rain Misty, nodded to show that they understood.

"Only ranged attackers get to attack? What are the melee players supposed to do? Aren't we attacking too?" Night Rain Mad Song asked in confusion.

"The Wolf King's Wolf King Ice Armor has an attack range of 20 meters. Mages have an attack range of 15 meters, and their movement speeds are roughly 1 meter per second. That means after the Wolf King uses this skill, they can barely escape its attack range." Before Yan Hua Yi Leng could speak, Night Rain Misty explained, "But melee fighters only have an attack range of around 2 meters. Once they're slowed, it will be hard for them to escape the attack range, so melee classes cannot move too close."

"That's right." Yan Hua Yi Leng nodded before continuing to arrange the tactics. "I checked earlier. You have 20 ranged classes and 28 melee classes. When the time comes, the melee players will protect the ranged classes. After the Wolf King uses Wolf King Summon, you must eliminate those Demon Wolves in the shortest possible time."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Wolf King uses this skill to summon the Young Demon Wolves around it. So before the battle begins, we need to clear out all the Demon Wolves nearby. As for the ones that respawn, assign some melee players to kill them. You can arrange the manpower yourselves." Yan Hua Yi Leng added.

"Alright, leave that task to me." Night Rain Misty nodded.

After Yan Hua Yi Leng finished arranging the tactics, Ye Luo also finished refining the pills. This time, he had refined more than 30 Major Blood Recovery Pills. What thrilled him even more was that there were actually three Mutated Pills:

Major Blood Recovery Pill * Mutated (Tier 2-3 Pill)

Pill Effect: Immediately restores 100 HP after consumption, then restores 10 HP per second for the next 10 seconds. This effect will not be interrupted by attacks.

Usage Interval: 30 seconds.

"These Mutated Major Blood Recovery Pills are incredibly effective. One can restore 200 HP. Together with the bread's 5 HP recovery per second and the 1 point restored by the Battle Soul Crystal, there should be almost no problem." Ye Luo thought to himself before looking at Yan Hua Yi Leng. "Yan Hua, what exactly should I do when the time comes?"

"Attack the Wolf King in your strongest state and secure aggro. I will work with you to slow it down, allowing you to dodge its attacks whenever possible." Yan Hua Yi Leng then looked at Night Rain Madman. "After you secure aggro, Night Rain Madman will help block its path for you. It should make things easier."

"Remember, you must keep your HP above 200, preferably above 300. I will have the priest heal you, so don't use your own healing items redundantly. I specifically explained the HP restoration and cooldown of the priest's Spring Revival earlier. You heard it, right?" Yan Hua Yi Leng added. Seeing Ye Luo nod, she asked, "How many Major Blood Recovery Pills did you refine? Will they be enough?"

"More than 30. Used together with the bread, they should be enough." Ye Luo said before privately messaging Yan Hua Yi Leng, "There are also three Mutated Pills. They can instantly restore 100 HP."

Yan Hua Yi Leng's beautiful eyes widened slightly. She nodded before asking again, "How many Strength Pills did you refine? Give some to the physical classes. If their attacks are stronger, things will be easier for you, and our chances of success will improve."

"Only 28. That's not enough for one each." Ye Luo briefly looked around and saw that the Ye Yu Gang had around 35 or 36 physical attack classes. He spread his hands. "The drop rate for wolf bones is too low. We have enough Goji Berry, though."

Upon hearing this, Night Rain Misty's eyes lit up. She said, "Brother Ye Luo, we did get some wolf bones. We'll trade them all to you. We should be able to refine some Strength Pills, right?"

As she spoke, Night Rain Misty traded more than 30 portions of wolf bones to Ye Luo, quite generously.

Ye Luo began refining pills again. This time, he produced more than 30 Strength Pills. To his delight, he finally refined one Mutated Strength Pill, and its attributes pleasantly surprised him.
