The Secret Realm Problem

"Everyone come quick! There's an honest guy here, let's bully him!"

"Taking a fit of anger is just for fun, whether it's a real fart depends on the original poster! Special mechanics for bosses? Did you design those? I've been playing this game for eight years and I've never heard of any special mechanics for bosses."

"Compared to what the original poster said, I'm more inclined to believe that the player was lured in by the Pink Tyrannosaurus Rex."

Not long after Xiao Fan replied to the original poster, his account showed 99+ messages. He refreshed the message list and was so angry he almost twisted his nose out.

"Damn it, these bastards don't know anything!"

Xiao Fan rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight those who were mocking him, when he saw the original poster's reply below.

"Hello, we'd like to know more about the special mechanism you mentioned. Let's chat via private message."

Seeing the original poster's reply made Xiao Fan feel a little better.

"It seems like only the original poster and I are normal people in this thread."

Xiao Fan suddenly remembered a saying, "If you are one step ahead of ordinary people, you are a genius; if you are a hundred steps ahead of ordinary people, you are a lunatic."

"Haha, look at these two lunatics, they even want to privately chat and discuss their illnesses."

Xiao Fan deleted his reply with a dark expression.

He opened his private messages and saw that many people had sent him messages, most of which were mocking him.

Xiao Fan ignored these people and scrolled through his messages for a while before finally finding the original poster's private messages.

"Hello, what is the special mechanic of the BOSS you mentioned?"

Xiao Fan thought for a moment and explained briefly, "Special mechanics are the specific rules, skills, and patterns that players must follow or deal with when fighting a BOSS."

After the message was sent, the person on the other end seemed to be thinking for a while before replying, "I think I understand what you mean. So what's the solution to this mechanism?"

Upon seeing the reply, Xiao Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes. He hadn't even seen the Dungeon; how would he know the mechanics?

"You'll only know for sure once you enter the Dungeon."

On the other side, after seeing Xiao Fan's reply, Zhou He turned and exchanged a glance with the man in black beside him.

"I feel like this player has some merit. Maybe we should ask him for more information, and if he seems suitable, we can bring him into our raiding team."

The man in black nodded. "Hmm, I think it's a good idea. The fact that he can say these things proves he has some ability. In any case, we can give it a try."

"OK."

Zhou He turned his gaze back to the computer and replied, "May I ask what your level is?"

"Level 10," Xiao Fan replied truthfully.

"Level 10?" Zhou He's voice suddenly grew louder. He never expected that the other party was a Novice Village!

He treated his opponent like a mysterious master, while his opponent treated him like a fool?

A level 10 player has probably only been playing the game for about six months at most. What does he know?

He was listening to his nonsense with such seriousness just now.

Zhou He almost laughed in anger.

"I now admit you were right before, there really aren't any reliable people on this forum."

This time, however, the man in black did not agree with what he said.

Ask him if there are any other solutions.

Zhou He looked at the man in black in disbelief. "Jian Qingfeng, you don't actually believe what a level 10 player says, do you? Even we players who have studied <Cloud Sea> for ten years can't understand this, how could a level 10 player possibly know?"

"Just ask, I told you to."

Jian Qingfeng ignored Zhou He's complaints and said with a serious expression.

Zhou He opened his mouth, but seeing Jian Qingfeng's expression, he could only turn back and reply to Xiao Fan as he had instructed.

"The Dungeon can't take you in. Do you have any other options?"

Xiao Fan stroked his chin. "You can tell me the specifics of the Dungeon, and I'll help you analyze it. However, there's a small problem with that."

What's the problem?

"You need to pay more!"

Xiao Fan replied.

The other party offered a reward for their question, and he answered two questions. They haven't mentioned the reward since, and now they want him to analyze the Dungeon situation. It's reasonable for them to want money, right?

Zhou He clenched his fists tightly.

Ever since he learned that the other person was just a level 10 player, he had given up all hope for this chat. If Jian Qingfeng hadn't told him to continue, he wouldn't have bothered replying at all.

Now that the other side still dares to ask for money, he's so angry he wants to go and check their water meter.

"Zhou He, I think the other party's analysis and explanation are very reasonable; you're biased. The fact that the other party can say these things proves that his understanding of the game is beyond our imagination. He might be a true genius, but you only see the other party's level."

Putting aside their ranks, Xiao Fan's words made Jian Qingfeng's eyes light up.

Upon hearing this, Zhou He was stunned for a moment, then a hint of shame flashed across his face.

Before knowing the other person's level, he completely agreed with what the other person said, but after learning that the other person was only a level 10 player, all his thoughts became biased.

Jian Qingfeng is right.

"No wonder he was able to create a Heaven-Tier Skill at such a young age; his mindset is something I can't compare to."

Thinking of this, Zhou He took a deep breath, looked at the computer again, and seriously said a number.

"Five million. Regardless of whether your analysis is right or wrong, we will pay you five million Dragon Nation Currency. If you're worried about being scammed, we can pay you in advance."

Xiao Fan was satisfied with the figures the other party provided, since he didn't have to do anything but help with the analysis.

"With this money, our family's life will be much better."

Seeing that the other party's attitude was good, and that he shouldn't be someone who would break his promise, Xiao Fan said, "Let's talk about the situation in the secret realm first."

After sending the message, Xiao Fan waited for about twenty minutes before receiving a long question from the other end, which he read carefully.

According to the other party, this secret realm was discovered on a glacier, and the level requirement for the secret realm is level 80 or above.

This secret realm is unlike any they have ever seen before; it is extremely difficult.

The dungeon begins with small Ice Wolf that can attack and bite, and can also freeze players during combat.

They couldn't break through the ice to rescue their teammates, so once a player was frozen, it was certain death.

The team has been stuck on the mobs for half a month with no solution.

Later, they found a shortcut in the secret realm. Although this path was somewhat dangerous, it allowed them to completely bypass the monsters and reach the first Ice Wolf boss.

So they tried fighting the first boss. At first, everything was normal, but when the Ice Wolf boss's health dropped to 80%, one of their teammates' health bars would turn red.

At first, they tried to get the teammates whose health bars turned red to move away, but when the BOSS's health reached 70%, the player with the red health bar would lose their mind and attack them frantically.

They were helpless; killing him was their teammate's doing, and they were about to be killed by their crazed teammate.

They only returned to normal after they left the BOSS's aggro range, that is, after they pulled away from it.

The other party also wrote down many small details.

After reading it, Xiao Fan immediately confirmed that this was the BOSS's mechanics.
