MMORPG: Blessed God Of War - Chapter 40
Chapter 40: The Confrontation That Was About To Begin
Although Liu Ming had already made some conjectures about the cause of the matter long ago based on his understanding of the trio and the conversation they had with World Guild’s players, Liu Ming still wanted to confirm it for himself.
After hearing Liu Ming’s words, Flying Above Grass immediately spoke with an awkward smile. “Here’s what happened. We were a little bored, so we decided to discuss World Guild’s senior executives. We were in the midst of an enjoyable conversation when those guys surrounded us. I really don’t know what’s wrong with their ears. They could hear us from so far away.”
At this moment, Floating On Water couldn’t help but say, “Um… Brother Flying Above Grass, I already reminded you to lower your volume when those guys were approaching.”
Flying Above Grass glared at Floating On Water when he heard those words.
Liu Ming smiled and said, “Enough, I’m not here to question anyone or hold anyone liable.”
At this moment, Flying Above Grass pretended to be serious as he said, “Big Shot Floating Cloud, let’s hurry and clear the dungeon. That dungeon has a time limit. Once the time is up, it will disappear.”
After Flying Above Grass finished speaking, he immediately turned around and walked towards the front to lead the way. However, at this moment, a sudden piece of news emerged in the national channel, which left Flying Above Grass with no choice but to stop in his tracks.
[World’s Best (National): Floating Cloud, I heard that you’re the best player. Do you dare to have a battle with me?]
After reading the message, Flying Above Grass immediately looked at Liu Ming and asked, “Boss Floating Cloud?”
Liu Ming smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Even if the other party really has any conspiracies, I won’t be afraid.” Immediately afterward, Liu Ming started replying to the message sent by World’s Best.
[Floating Cloud (National): You’re only Level 25 now, and your equipment is way more inferior to mine. How are you going to fight me?]
[Floating Cloud (National): Or do you plan to make me take on your entire guild by myself?]
[World’s Best (National): Don’t worry about this. We are only going to send a team of ten elites.]
[World’s Best (National): As long as you can defeat all of us, we will move out of Lotter City immediately and take a detour when we see you in the future.]
[World’s Best (National): Of course, I won’t make you leave Lotter City if you lose, but you have to take a detour when you see us players from World Guild in the future.]
[Floating Cloud (National): Okay then. Decide on a time and place. I’ll be there on time.]
[World’s Best (National): 8 p.m. tonight then. See you at the Wind Wolf Plains west of the city.]
…
After World’s Best and Liu Ming agreed on a time and place and exited the national channel, the various players—who were initially afraid of affecting the two of them and ruining a good show—immediately became active in the national channel.
[Little Pastry (National): Is World’s Best out of his mind? He’s actually planning to challenge Big Shot Floating Cloud with ten members.]
[Horse Shop Resident Bigmouth Yuan (National): I doubt it. The big shots of those guilds are really scheming. They definitely won’t fight a battle that they’re not confident of winning.]
[Destruction Knight (National): Bigmouth Yuan, I see you talking in the national channel every day. Does your family own a mine?]
[Unfettered Brother (National): The commenter above, don’t interrupt. We’re discussing a serious matter now. Brother Bigmouth, tell us your analysis.]
[All The Dogs Have The Good Names (National): Let me say it. World Guild found a bunch of Level 25 Purple Outfits from somewhere. I’m afraid that’s the only thing that gives them confidence.]
[All The Dogs Have The Good Names (National): Although the Stats of Level 25 Purple Outfits are much inferior to that of Level 30 Purple Outfits, they do have a high probability of winning since ten of them are fighting Floating Cloud, who’s alone.]
[Unfettered Brother (National): So that’s what happened. Won’t that mean that Big Shot Floating Cloud might lose?]
[Iron Head (National): Damn it! Hasn’t Floating Cloud fallen for World’s Best’s trap then?]
…
After a certain player’s haphazard analysis, quite a few players thought that Liu Ming had fallen for World’s Best’s trick.
Besides, many players began to feel worried for Liu Ming due to the fact that World Guild’s reputation had always been poor.
Of course, a portion of players was also just there to watch the fun and were not concerned about which party won.
However, all these messages were temporarily unavailable to Liu Ming, who had already entered the hidden dungeon. But Liu Ming wouldn’t be affected, even if he saw them.
After all, Liu Ming was no longer just a player that simply had a Level 30 Purple Outfit.
…
The hidden dungeon that Flying Above Grass and the other two found was actually just a Level 25 Difficult Dungeon. Liu Ming managed to clear it easily.
The Lightness Skill Trio was unable to clear the dungeon previously purely because of their equipment configuration and profession configuration.
All three silly guys chose the Bandit profession, but Flying Above Grass chose to be an Assassin, Floating On Water chose to be a Godly Bandit, and Vertical Cloud Ladder chose to be a Heroic Bandit.
Of the three professions—except for Heroic Bandits, which were similar to Archer-type professions—the other two only had half the combat power when nobody was there to help fight the monsters.
In short, the trio only had the power of two players. It would be strange if they did clear a dungeon that usually required a top-tier, ten-man team without having anyone to help fight monsters.
After clearing the dungeon, Liu Ming did not rush straight to the place he and World’s Best had agreed on.
Liu Ming only rode the Purgatory Nightmare and rushed to Wind Wolf Plains after 7:30 p.m.
At this moment, Wind Wolf Plains was already crowded with players. That was not all. There was a makeshift arena in the center of Wind Wolf Plains.
In fact, there was a special official arena in God Domain’s main cities. However, a 1 VS 10 fight definitely wouldn’t be allowed in the official arena. Hence, many players would still choose to fight privately in the wild to resolve their conflicts.
However, it was the first time that an arena was built specifically for a private fight, like what World’s Best had done.
World’s Best was the leader, and the players under him were already standing in the arena.
The ten players consisted of four Mages and six players with physical professions.
The four Mages’ professions were Fire Mage, Demonic Warlock, Holy Light Priest, and Paladin—which was thought as a strange profession.
For the other six… There were two Swordsmen, a Raiding Knight, a Berserking Knight, and two Assassins.
Aside from the Holy Light Priest and the Paladin, the other eight were all violent output players.
World’s Best clearly knew that fighting Liu Ming with a team of defensive players would be meaningless. Hence, except for the two Support players that could enhance their Stats, World’s Best did not bring any Archers—which were restrained by Guardian Knights—let alone Defense Tanks.
Of course, apart from the Assassins and Mages, the remaining five would be used as Defense Tanks if they weren’t going to face Liu Ming directly.
Even the weakest of the ten players in front of Liu Ming had over 5,800 HP. It was on par with Liu Ming’s HP when he was at Level 17 and had just changed into a Purple Outfit.
Among them, the best-equipped—World’s Best—had 9,630 Health Points. World’s Best had clearly come prepared this time.
However, unlike the rumors the other players had been spreading, only seven of the ten players wore Purple Outfits. The remaining three were wearing half-Purple Outfits.
…
When Liu Ming approached the arena, World’s Best smilingly said, “Floating Cloud, you’re here!”
