Don’t Listen to Your Elders? Suffer from Regret
“?” Once ng Jingtian joined the group, ng Jingtian sent a question mark in the chat window, inquiring about the group’s objective.
“The mission is to help us defeat a silver boss. One thousand gold coins for each person!” Wang Sisi explained.
ng Jingtian realized that this silver boss was probably Ma Fangxing.
After all, this was a ga. When a boss died, it would respawn after a certain amount of ti.
Wang Sisi was Level 25, so it was very normal for her to get a mission to deal with the Level 25 Ma Fangxing.
“What’s the objective of your mission?” ng Jingtian privately ssaged Cai Minghou.
“Kill one hundred Cool Breeze Camp bandits and ten elites!” Cai Minghou replied. “It doesn’t conflict, and we can do them together. With all the people in their group, we should be able to finish it quickly.”
Cai Minghou’s mission was to exterminate the remaining bandits of Cool Breeze Camp, but this mission had set targets. This was because mobs would respawn after a certain amount of ti had passed.
“Alright!” ng Jingtian typed into group chat.
The two of them joined the ranks of the group and began to clear Cool Breeze Camp.
But perhaps because the group mbers had already killed enough bandits earlier, two minutes later, a system notification appeared: “You have provoked the boss of Cool Breeze Camp, Ma Fangxing. Ma Fangxing will soon appear!”
Soon, a horse loudly neighed, and Ma Fangxing rode in on a black horse, dressed in the armor of a general and swinging a saber.
ng Jingtian was taken aback, quietly remarking to himself that this was the complete form of Ma Fangxing. When he had persuaded this boss to leave, he had neither brought out his horse nor equipped his armor.
Fortunately, all the mbers of Wang Sisi’s group were Level 25 or 26, and they all had their proper roles. They quickly pulled the boss and began to drop his HP at a steady rate.
Not long after the battle started, the boss’s HP began to approach 90%. ng Jingtian knew that the boss would use its first high-damage skill soon, so he warned, “Everyone, scatter!”
Several people heard his warning and instinctively moved away from the group.
“Who the hell are you? Don’t go blindly giving orders! Can you take the responsibility if the group wipes?” angrily roared a player called Sun Yaohai, wearing chainmail and holding a sword.
Before ng Jingtian could answer, the boss’s HP reached 90%. “Chaotic Saber Art!” Ma Fangxing roared, plunged into the pack of players on his horse, and began to flail his saber around.
“-54351”
“-48523”
“-51684”
Virtual numbers in red that only players could see appeared, and the players that had been grouped together were instantly wiped out.
All that was left were the few players who had scattered and now blankly stared at the boss.
This skill’s damage was much higher compared to when ng Jingtian had fought Ma Fangxing. Even the group’s tanks had been instantly wiped.
After a montary daze, Wang Sisi, who had also been killed and respawned, typed into group chat, “De-aggro the boss and wait for us to get back!”
After all, even the tanks had died. The remaining mbers wouldn’t be able to keep fighting the boss.
“How did you know the boss would use that skill?” Wang Sisi curiously asked.
“Pft! We already fought this boss. If you don’t listen to your elders, you’ll suffer from regret. You died? Serves you right!” Sun Yaohai’s rude words had been deeply upsetting to Cai Minghou, so his reply was very derisive.
“Little Hou!” ng Jingtian glanced at him and indicated that he shouldn’t speak so much nonsense.
He then typed into group chat, “Co back, and hurry up!”
After that, he did not de-aggro the boss like Wang Sisi wanted, but continued to fight it.
However, no matter how much DPS ng Jingtian put out, he was never able to aggro the boss. Unable to play the role of a tank, all he could do was apply damage while using Divine Recovery on the player with aggro.
The player ran around in a circle and realized to his shock that he wasn’t dead. In the end, he stopped and continued to fight the boss.
ng Jingtian had much higher stats and level compared to when he first fought Ma Fangxing, and his damage was much higher.
And with his previous experience with the boss, he knew the boss’s chanics and skills, and would occasionally warn the other group mbers how to avoid the attacks.
80%… 50%… 30%… In less than two minutes, Ma Fangxing’s HP was down to 10%.
It was only now that Wang Sisi and the rest managed to arrive.
ng Jingtian saw that Wang Sisi had co over, and imdiately used Divine Punishnt. In a burst of bright light, Ma Fangxing toppled over.
Wang Sisi froze in shock. It… it was over?
“What? Did the mission not complete?” ng Jingtian asked with a frown.
That shouldn’t be! At this range, it should have completed, right?
“It completed! Uh, thank you!” Wang Sisi quickly ca to her senses and smiled. When she looked at ng Jingtian, a strange light could be seen in her surprised eyes.
Sun Yaohai’s face darkened, and he raised his head in disdain and glared at ng Jingtian. “What’s there to be cocky about? He only defeated this boss, right?
“Sisi, since the mission is done, let’s go!” He turned to Wang Sisi and reached out his hand to guide her away.
But Wang Sisi threw off his hand and unhappily said, “Why are you so rude? Leave by yourself if you want!”
She then looked at ng Jingtian and smiled. “I owe a lot to you! Once we get back to Black Tortoise City, why don’t I treat you to a al at the Fragrant Pavilion?”
“I’m sorry; we still have a mission to do!” ng Jingtian shook his head and withdrew from the group.
Cai Minghou saw this and withdrew as well, once more forming his own group with ng Jingtian.
“We really lost out. They only managed to farm thirty-so mobs while we beat this boss almost entirely on our own. And now you just withdrew from the group without even getting so of the equipnt,” Cai Minghou softly grumbled to ng Jingtian.
“He only dropped one purple piece of equipnt. How much gold would that be if you split it among a group of nineteen people? I can’t be bothered to waste ti with them!” ng Jingtian shook his head.
He hadn’t joined the group for the one thousand gold coins Wang Sisi had promised, only because it happened to coincide with his own mission and joining their group would make it go faster.
“Right, right, right! Brother Tian doesn’t lack money! And it’s only a few gold coins!” Cai Minghou muttered.
anwhile, Wang Sisi’s group mbers had taken their rewards and gone their own way. Wang Sisi and Sun Yaohai seed to know each other, but for so reason, they had gotten into an argunt.
“Ding! Wang Sisi has requested to join your group!” Afterward, Wang Sisi ca over and requested to join ng Jingtian’s group.
...
After a mont of hesitation, ng Jingtian decided to accept.
“Why did you leave the group? This is the one thousand gold I promised you, and also your portion of the money from auctioning the drops.” Wang Sisi sent over a trade request.
So that’s what it was about!
It appeared that this person was soone who kept their promises. Though ng Jingtian didn’t really care that much about this one thousand gold, since it was what he had earned, ng Jingtian accepted it without hesitation.
“What mission are you doing? Let lend a hand. I really owe the two of you a lot for that boss just now. We probably would have wiped a ton otherwise.” After the trade was done, Wang Sisi did not leave the group.
