Master

Wang Qianduo finally realized that the four people in front of him were truly top-tier experts.

Wang Qianduo also used a crossbow, but Yun Zhongge's crossbow hit wherever he aimed, while his own hit wherever it pointed.

He couldn't even quite grasp the reasoning behind it. How did he do it?

He could vaguely guess that they were exploiting the characteristics of semi-intelligent creatures in the virtual game, but he couldn't figure out the specifics.

Yun Zhongge then demonstrated what "pulling mobs" meant to Wang Qianduo, and next, Qiji Zhijian showed him what "tanking mobs" meant.

He saw Qiji Zhijian's mecha take a step forward, arriving in front of Yun Zhongge. Then, raising his shield, he batted away the foremost Alpha Wolf.

Following that, a charged one-handed sword in his other hand flashed with flowing light and descended, hitting all three Dire Wolves.

-35

-37

-37

Three damage numbers rose from the heads of the three Dire Wolves, causing them to enter a staggered state.

This again baffled Wang Qianduo. He was clearly using a single-target heavy attack skill, so why did it hit three monsters?

Why did his heavy attack skill have crowd control? This was unreasonable!

As he was pondering this, the other two members of the team made their move.

Jiaowo Wushen wielded a longsword. After thrusting it out, he immediately unleashed a two-hit combo, then interrupted the combo's motion with another sword strike. Instantly, four damage numbers, similar to those from Qiji Zhijian, floated above the head of the wolf that Yun Zhongge had shot.

Just as the wolf was about to turn, a shield once again blocked its path, knocking it back. Then, an energy projectile flew over, exploding precisely at its neck.

Weak Point Exploit -106

All of this happened in a mere instant. The wolf hadn't even reacted before its health bar dropped by 4/5, and the other two wolves were unable to attack Qiji Zhijian.

At this point, Wang Qianduo no longer marveled. He took out his Minghong Saber and controlled Unit Zero, cleaving the weakened wolf in half with a single strike.

-160

Then he turned towards one of the other two wolves and unleashed a two-hit combo, instantly delivering two more slashes.

-240

Critical Hit -630

Two damage numbers floated up, one of them a critical hit. The wolf let out a howl and collapsed to the ground.

Now, Qiji Zhijian and the others were stunned. What were they seeing?

Damage exceeding 600? Was that even possible! And what was this shimmering treasure saber?

But they quickly regained their composure because one wolf was still alive. Qiji Zhijian used his shield to block its attack once more.

Everyone took a hit, and they directly took down the remaining wolf. Especially Wang Qianduo's damage of over a hundred points, which stood out starkly amidst their tens of points of damage.

Each of these three wolves provided Wang Qianduo with over 100 experience points. Although it was a drop in the bucket compared to the 50,000 experience needed to go from level 5 to level 6, it was still a significant amount.

"Brother, your saber?" After dealing with the three wolves, Yun Zhongge stopped pulling more mobs and curiously asked Wang Qianduo.

"[Minghong]"

Wang Qianduo directly posted the attributes of Minghong into the chat channel. The Minghong Saber couldn't be hidden anyway, so it was better to be upfront and reduce suspicion.

He had actually considered using his crossbow earlier, but he was afraid of accidentally hitting Qiji Zhijian, who was pulling mobs. After some thought, he decided to take out his Minghong Saber and go into melee combat.

Yun Zhongge: "Awesome!"

Jiaowo Wushen: "This is the top-tier weapon I've been wanting!"

Canghai Mingyue: "Are Legendary equipment really this overpowered?"

The four looked at the attributes of the Minghong Saber with varying expressions, but none of them brought up purchasing it early, clearly understanding the significance of binding.

"Friend, may I know where you obtained this saber? I'm willing to pay for the information!" Jiaowo Wushen said.

"It was a reward from a unique hidden quest. You probably can't get that quest anymore!"

Wang Qianduo decided to lie after some thought. He couldn't possibly tell them it was a reward for the first top-up of six yuan, could he?

"Sigh, then it seems I have no fate with it!"

"Let's stop talking about this and focus on the dungeon. With Brother Qianwang's help, maybe we can try the Nightmare difficulty today," Qiji Zhijian said, regaining his composure first.

Although the attributes of the Minghong Saber were incredibly impressive in the early stages of the game, that was all there was to it.

They were all seasoned players; what kind of equipment hadn't they seen before?

Then, the group continued clearing monsters. This time, Yun Zhongge no longer pulled just three mobs but all of them at once. This was their normal level of play.

They had only pulled three earlier to test Wang Qianduo's capabilities. If he hadn't been up to par, they had a more cautious strategy.

But now that they knew his attack power was so high, they no longer needed to be hesitant.

"His attack power is not right! Even with that weapon, it's still too abnormal."

As the group was killing monsters, Canghai Mingyue sent a private message to Jiaowo Wushen. It seemed that dealing with seven monsters wasn't a significant pressure for them.

"I noticed, but don't ask questions if you don't want to know."

"Why?"

"Did you think those two didn't notice? If they didn't, they wouldn't be called the Rose Duo.

They didn't expose him because they realized this Thousand Kings guy likes to hide his strength and wanted to recruit him.

If we expose him, aren't we just pushing him towards them?"

"You want to recruit him too? But honestly, his performance is pretty average, not much value in cultivating him."

"Regardless of whether it's average or not, he currently has an absolute advantage. With someone like that, our leveling up will be much easier.

Most importantly, we can't let those two recruit him for nothing, understand?"

"Oh~ I get it!"

The four of them, with unspoken understanding, didn't point out the issue with Wang Qian's abnormal attack power. They were all thinking about recruiting Wang Qian to join them.

However, Wang Qian didn't know any of this. He was currently having a blast killing monsters. Miracle Sword truly lived up to being a professional player.

The way he pulled aggro was perfect in Wang Qian's eyes. He always positioned the monsters in the most comfortable spot for Wang Qian's attacks according to his habits.

Having such a teammate was incredibly comfortable. Wang Qian just had to focus on swinging his sword.

Soon, the three waves of Dire Wolves before the first boss of the dungeon were all cleared. They were about to face the first boss.

At this moment, the group was recovering their stats in front of a giant stone monument. This was what "Call Me Wushen" referred to as the recovery item, the one Sister Cat mentioned.

Within a certain range of it, players could recover their mech's HP and MP. It was quite magical.

"The first boss of the Dark Forest, the Dire Wolf King, is a boss with high attack and high speed. It's up to Sword Bro to show us what he's got!"

"Alright!"

After recovering their stats, everyone arrived in front of a massive Dire Wolf.

This wolf was so large that even while lying down, it was about the same height as their mechs.

Dire Wolf King
LV5
Leader
HP 3700
MP 500
Attack 100
Defense 20
Skills: Ambush, Crush, Ground Spike, Wolf King's Roar

While everyone was talking, Wang Qian used his Insight skill to check the Dire Wolf King's stats and sent them to the chat channel.

Everyone: "..."

"Bro, you have a reconnaissance device?"

"Just lucky, just lucky!"

"Your luck is too good!"

Because of their mechs, they could only hear Wang Qian's voice and couldn't see his smug expression, so they all took his words as humility.

Wang Qian didn't realize what a reconnaissance device meant to these professional players.

Their clubs had already sent people into this game, so they had a full set of beginner equipment prepared by their guilds when they entered.

However, there was no reconnaissance device for before level ten. This item was not called the rarest equipment for no reason.

A low-level reconnaissance device that couldn't be found in countless tournaments appearing before them made them disbelieve.

But they were all "veterans who had seen big waves" and quickly (forced themselves to) adjust.

They were already confident in dealing with this boss, and now that they knew its stats, it was simply icing on the cake.

"Sword Bro, get ready to engage. We'll use normal attacks for output. We don't have a sub-tank. Save your skills to interrupt the roar. Be careful with your output speed, don't steal aggro.

Initiate combat!"

As "Call Me Wushen" gave the order, the group immediately charged towards the Wolf King.

The Wolf King was directly alerted. Miracle Sword took the lead, his mech exuding an aura of unshakeable resolve as he met the Wolf King.

The Wolf King swiped its claws, but Miracle Sword used his shield to deflect the attack, then thrust his sword into its armpit.

Weak Point Hit -58

After a weak point attack, Miracle Sword immediately began charging his skill. One second later, the charged sword strike landed precisely on the returning Wolf King's claws.

Counter -53

This strike once again interrupted the Wolf King's attack, preventing it from taking damage.

"Aggro is stable, you guys can output!"

A confident voice came from the tall mech wielding a sword and shield, belonging to Miracle Sword.
