MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 34 - 34 It’s Time to Do Something



The live exploration competition had already been held in the Light Faction a few days ago.

Simply put, it’s a promotional competition held by the official side.

When the Death Mine missions first triggered, players became aware of the branch instances for the first time.

In the beginning, this wasn’t an instance, but required the first team exploring to clear the mine before it could become a proper side instance.

Before it was an instance, the drop rate from killing the boss the first time was quite high. This official statement naturally attracted a large number of players.

The competition had a great impact; it was streamed live on the official game platform, in each administrative district, local game channels, and even on specialized game TV stations.

However, most players could only handle ordinary monsters. They were generally powerless in areas full of elite monsters. Big guilds and clubs were very enthusiastic, as this was a great opportunity to promote their guilds.

A few days before, the Light Faction’s competition had caused complaints from the Dark Camp. Now that their hardship was over and they’d discovered their instance, there was much rejoicing.

Since the instance was in the High Elf’s Beginner’s Village, players from other Dark Camps could obtain a free teleportation qualification to this place after completing a trial.

This situation grabbed high levels of attention and was an excellent opportunity for many skilled teams to become famous overnight.

The Mistress of Changes nodded, she understood the plan of Studio Freedom. It aimed at embarrassing Li Yao in public. Individual players may be skilled, but exploring new territory was not a one-man job. Without strong teammates, it was basically a case of self-humiliation. Thus, this kind of competition was essentially inter-guild competition. Scattered teams without guilds had participated before, but all had failed.

She thought for a moment before saying, “I think you can do it. With your skills, plus both Dottie and I not dragging you down, we may have a chance of winning. After all, they have the upper hand on the forum. If this continues, it will harm your reputation.”

“Thank you for your concern and help,” Li Yao sincerely thanked them, then smiled and said, “But speaking about the impact on my reputation, you don’t need to worry. The more they make a fuss now, the harder they will fall in the end. ”

Dumb Dottie, hearing about the live competition, her eyes lit up and she said, “Great Bro, as long as you have a plan that’s good. This competition is good, let’s participate too. The Light Faction had a go a few days ago, it’s fun, and the rewards are great. Even without the official rewards, the things monsters drop are also quite good.”

Li Yao pondered, “This is indeed a good competition. Let me think about it. I will give you an answer after thinking it over. Studio Freedom wants to use the forum posts as capital; they are misjudging. I am very interested in this bet they’ve proposed. However, they are dreaming for now. Let them suffer a bit first.’

“Okay, okay, Great Bro, you must take me along when you decide. I am your fixed team member now.” Dumb Dottie said excitedly, she never doubted Li Yao’s words.

The Mistress of Changes knew Li Yao’s character was right, but she couldn’t guess his current approach. She really didn’t know what Li Yao was planning.

But now, their relationship is very complicated. Let alone in reality. Even in the game, they were just new friends, so it was inappropriate to ask any more about Li Yao’s plan.

After hanging up the communication with the two, he logged off to deal with some real-life issues before going back online. The gaming time was already evening, Li Yao checked the forum and everything was heading in Studio

Freedom’s direction, even online there were full of posts criticizing Prairie Fire.

People were too lazy to distinguish right from wrong, they thought it was unfair. Why could he solo the boss while they were troubled by elites? The huge gap caused them to keep following the trend.

At the same time, the official blue post he expected hadn’t appeared yet. Li Yao knew he should do something. He sent a few messages using both his Prairie

Fire and Spark account, and then used the hearthstone to return to the charge room.

“I should really thank Studio Freedom for letting me profit a bit more.” Li Yao disconnected communication and revealed a smile.

Engineering was nearly at the intermediate level. He was a bit eager to make his first Mechanical Pet, even though he couldn’t use it now, it was good to have one.

Li Yao threw himself into Engineering while the situation on the forum was beginning to boil over.

Firstly, the video of the first guild in America, Superpower Guild, killing a boss was uploaded to the internet. Just looking at the equipment photos made everyone drool.

However, that wasn’t the most important part. Under the video, the guild leader of the Superpower Guild, Captain America, wrote a short thank you note.

The general contents were: Thanks to the two gaming gods, Prairie Fire and Spark, the guild had been troubled by the boss for a few days.

After learning from Spark’s positioning and maneuver techniques, they gained new insights. And even though they still couldn’t kill the boss and suffered great character level loss, they were grateful to see their elites learning the techniques.

Today, they unexpectedly saw Prairie Fire’s video, which completely inspired them. They just used some innovative ideas and strategies, and finally, beat the boss.

People began to disbelieve, but saw in the video that a group of people attempted to fight the boss, and there were constant deaths.

They used human lives to lure the boss to a post and how they persuaded the NPC to lend them a ballista and then start attacking the boss’s legs with the ballista.

But their aim was terrible, only hitting the boss’s leg after more than ten arrows, significantly reducing the boss’s mobility.

The battle was brutal, with the number of participants always maintained at twenty-five. This was because after those who lost levels left the team, they were replaced by new members.

In this fight, over sixty top players lost levels, and this was only because the power of the bed crossbow limited the boss’s mobility.

In the end, Captain America admitted that he did not realize how hard it was to hit the target with the bed crossbow until he used it himself. He deeply admired Prairie Fire and hoped to be friends in the future. He sent a friend request to Prairie Fire, expressing his hope to be accepted.

This incident sparked a huge uproar. Captain America’s words made those who disapproved of the shady tactics of the Free Studio stand up. People in America began to speak fairly, but their own people wanted to delete Prairie Fire’s account.

But their voices were still too small, there were too many envious and resentful players. They disregarded the facts, even accusing Prairie Fire of being a traitor, colluding with other administrative districts, not teaching his skills to the Chinese, but giving benefits to others.

These comments made Tongtong angry. While doing auxiliary tasks, she began to defend Li Yao on the forum. However, she achieved little, with some people even starting to swear at her, making her even more angry.

Then something unexpected happened to Tongtong. Three videos of boss kills were posted online.

One of them was a video of the Light Faction, and the three videos were from casual players of Light Faction, Brilliant Guild, and Blood Rose Studio, the sworn enemy of the Free Studio.

The Light Faction casual players did not have a guild, they were just a group of friends. They killed a boss called Hogger, known as the Monster of Alts.

Hogger is infamously known, truly a killer of alts. His location is not very noticeable, and players often accidentally cross into his aggro range and get slaughtered.

Both Blood Rose Studio and Brilliant Guild also killed other notorious bosses.

Blood Rose is a famous beauty studio in the gaming world. The studio only recruits females and most of them are very attractive.

The disagreement with the Free Studio started from a previous game. Rumors were that the second brother of the Free Studio wanted to pursue the elder sister of the Blood Rose Studio, but she rejected him. The second brother insisted and publicly confessed his love during a major competition, only to be rejected and mocked by the people of Blood Rose as “a toad yearning for a swan’s flesh”.

The name of the Blood Rose Studio was taken from the game ID of their elder sister, Blood Rose, who is a famous beauty in the gaming world with a massive fan base, especially among the well-off players. She is a goddess who naturally would not fancy the twice-divorced and scandal-ridden second brother of the Free Studio.

As a result, the Free Studio was extremely annoyed and declared that they would collectively take action to bring all members of Blood Rose Studio into their family.

This was initially a spiteful act by the Free Studio and not likely to be taken seriously. But the women of Blood Rose Studio were not easy to mess with and started to target the Free Studio by mobilizing their own contacts.

There was continuous tit-for-tat between the two, with the hatred growing with each passing year.

The three videos were edited into one, with comments from Prairie Fire and Spark below the video.

Spark: “Some studio is trying to suppress my friend by using unscrupulous methods to mislead public opinion. To prove that my friend can kill a boss without any bug, we watched various boss videos and summarized their tactics. I figured out the tactics for the Treant Boss and gave them to the Brilliant Club, and they succeeded in killing it.”

Prairie Fire: “I can kill a boss without a bug. I also watched various boss videos and figured out the tactics for two bosses. I gave one to my classmate in reality, who successfully killed Hogger. The guide for Skeleton boss was given to

Blood Rose and they successfully killed the boss. I posted the battle report Players went crazy. Three boss kill videos emerged suddenly, making the entire forum boil with excitement.

Even more so, everyone noticed that these bosses were killed at night. We all know what that means – monsters are at least a third stronger at night and bosses are a third stronger, which is very clear to players. Otherwise, players wouldn’t stop leveling at night.

But even on the nights when the bosses became stronger, they still managed to kill the bosses successfully. This demonstrates the correctness and usability of the tactics they researched.

Especially the several independent players, let alone wearing a full set of green gear, couple of them didn’t even have a full set of white gears. Yet, such a lousy team with an average level of only three, managed to defeat the boss. The implications of this are clear to anyone who knows what they’re looking at.

The three videos were like a resounding slap across the face of Free Studio, especially as Blood Rose got hold of a boss strategy, which was extremely unfavorable to them.

The videos have proven the value of Prairie Fire, and the fact that Spark and Prairie Fire are friends. The value of these two “gods” is immeasurable.

What does this mean? Whoever can become their friend and encounters a boss that they can’t defeat can send them a video. If they give some advice, the boss can be easily defeated.

Not only the ordinary players, various guilds, and clubs were boiling with excitement. They started to post testimonials for Prairie Fire on the Internet, one by one, influential professional players and commentators started to post, mobilizing their large number of fans to take action.

As more and more people stood up for Prairie Fire, the public opinion began to slowly change.

Later, the official blue post and the analysis of several heavyweight figures after the blue post were like a bolt from the blue….
