Chapter 97: Chapter 15: The Tycoon’s Game World (Part 15)

When Yanyan and the others opened their eyes, they found themselves transported to a small and desolate town. There wasn’t a soul in sight, except for a drowsy NPC by the teleportation array, who didn’t wake up even upon their arrival.

Li Shuning immediately led the team out of the town, heading toward the mountains outside the town.

Yu Kun Mountain lies to the east of Yunlan Town. Within Yu Kun Mountain, there are two Level 40 BOSSes located at the east and west ends of the mountain.

The BOSS here has strong attacks but relatively low defense. Thus, as long as players find the right strategy, they can still defeat the BOSS despite level differences. Moreover, Li Shuning and the others are all above Level 30, so the level gap isn’t too big.

The terrain of Yu Kun Mountain offers players a great advantage.

However, there are only two ways to reach Yunlan Town: one is by teleportation array, and the other is through a Level 50 monster-hunting map.

It’s evident that with Li Shuning’s team’s current levels, they can’t pass through a Level 50 monster-hunting map.

As for the teleportation array, each transmission costs 5,000 ingots per person.

Ordinary players wouldn’t choose this method; it’s too ingot-intensive.

The main issue is that there are very few NPCs or shops in Yunlan Town, so no medicines or food can be bought there.

However, Li Shuning is unfazed since she has a Storage Bag, and by a stroke of luck during a special quest, Yanyan acquired a small pouch.

Before setting off, Li Shuning had Yanyan clear out the pouch. Though it only has 30 slots, it’s still enough.

As they head toward Yu Kun Mountain, they encounter several Level 40 monsters along the way. Li Shuning leads the team to deftly avoid them, though they still end up using quite a bit of Healing Medicine and food.

The team is clearly aware of their purpose here, and everyone is somewhat excited.

Before long, Li Shuning leads everyone to a cliff’s edge.

By the cliffside, there are a few towering trees.

Li Shuning takes several bundles of ropes out of her Storage Bag.

The others recall the strategies from the official guide and help quickly tie the ropes to the trees, each rope securely fastened between two trees, just in case.

The six of them bind six ropes, each one tying themselves to the end of a rope, then slowly lowering themselves over the cliff.

Once the ropes are fully extended, they see a giant humanoid BOSS a few meters below them. The BOSS wields a massive hammer, its long hair obscuring its face, and its skin has a reddish hue.

The space at the bottom of the cliff is confined; aside from a narrow mountain path leading downwards, there are no other ways.

Luoluo’s class is Feather, Yanyan is Heavenly Master, Big Dumpling is Ghost Valley, Brother is just a legend is also Feather, National Beauty is Heavenly Master, and Beauty in Decline is also Heavenly Master.

The entire team consists of ranged classes and people they can trust.

They usually get along quite well.

[Team] Luoluo: Everyone, pay attention! Start attacking that BOSS. This is our farthest shooting range, but we aren’t completely safe. Once that BOSS goes berserk, the hammer in its hand will lengthen and will have elemental properties.

[Team] Luoluo: Yanyan, your rope is the shortest, so the BOSS can’t hit you, but you also can’t hit the BOSS. By then, the Heavenly Masters should focus on healing while you, Yanyan, on resurrecting everyone.

[Team] Yanyan: Don’t worry, Sister Luoluo, I’ll stay alert.

[Team] National Beauty: Don’t worry, boss, I’ll heal everyone continuously.

[Team] Beauty in Decline: Don’t worry, Sister Luoluo.

Everyone else chimed in agreement.

[Team] Luoluo: Alright, let’s begin.

Li Shuning unleashed the Thousand Arrows Piercing Heart skill, causing a spurt of blood to erupt from the BOSS instantly.

The BOSS roared, raising its massive hammer, and swung it in Li Shuning’s direction.

Li Shuning pushed against the cliff wall with her foot, instantly shifting her position and firing another arrow.

Li Shuning didn’t hesitate to use her Clone Technique; however, the clone appeared at the bottom of the cliff.

The clone fired an arrow at the BOSS, which then chased after the clone.

The clone was struck by the BOSS’s hammer and immediately dissipated.

But while the BOSS was chasing the clone, everyone began their attack.

Even the Heavenly Masters launched attacks on the BOSS.

Once the clone was gone, the Heavenly Masters ceased all attack skills.

As Li Shuning’s team battled the BOSS, they continually shifted positions; however, some were still struck.

Upon being hit, there was no room for resistance, leading to immediate death.

Fortunately, Yanyan was present.

If they were to face the BOSS head-on, it would be necessary to be Level 40 or higher; otherwise, they would be annihilated in one blow.

Yet, Li Shuning’s method required secrecy and the absence of enemies. Otherwise, if any enemy at the top of the cliff cut their ropes, they would be doomed.

During the BOSS’s berserker phase, Li Shuning died several times. Despite the BOSS’s low defense, its level and health were formidable, combined with its high attack, taking Li Shuning and her team two hours to grind it down.

“Congratulations to Luoluo for leading the team to defeat the Blood Demon, acquiring a Dark Gold Blood Feather Bow (unidentified), Qiankun Technique, and Gem Treasure Box *2.”

Bei Chen, along with members from other guilds, had just finished pushing the BOSS in Youlin Valley when the system broadcasted Luoluo achieving a BOSS kill.

At this point, Bei Chen couldn’t help feeling a bit lost. Previously, he had declined the offers from other guilds to seek collaboration with Luoluo, only to be rejected by her. He incurred considerable costs to get those guilds to agree to Proud of the Heroes joining. Luoluo, on the other hand, showed no concern about the BOSS being taken and instead went straight to challenge another BOSS.

Blood Demon, Bei Chen couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Even if they went over now, the issue remained—they didn’t have the Resurrection Technique. Despite having strategies, they couldn’t effectively target the BOSS; going to that map would just waste ingots and time.

Qiankun Technique, an exceptionally rare skill for Heavenly Masters, allows one to place a protective shield over themselves or a teammate.

With the shield, it absorbs a certain amount of damage before shattering. Until it shatters, the person under the shield remains in a state of absolute safety.

Li Shuning and her team were quite pleased. They had obtained two Treasure Boxes and a Level 40 Dark Gold Bow, but most importantly, they acquired that skill.

[Team] Luoluo: All items will be auctioned within the team; highest bidder wins.

[Team] Brother is just a legend: Boss, you should take the weapon directly. Without you, we couldn’t have dealt with the BOSS; everything else can be auctioned.

Brother is just a legend’s words were supported by everyone else since he is also a Feather.

Everyone approved of Luoluo’s character. In the past, after auctioning gem boxes at high prices, she would distribute some gemstones to guild members without hesitation.

Besides, for this journey, the ingots for teleportation were all provided by Luoluo.

Li Shuning didn’t refuse and took the Dark Gold Bow. For her, equipment wasn’t an issue. After resting briefly, the team headed to face another BOSS.
