Chapter 20 How to Play the Game
"High-Rank monster?"
"Extinction Dragon?"
Liu Chengfeng's face was also filled with emotion upon hearing this.
While shocked, he was even more eager and hopeful for the later content of the game. However, being stuck at his current progress, he grew anxious and quickly asked,
"Wu Lei, do you guys have any quick hunting methods or techniques?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Didn't you say you've only been playing for a few days? How are you progressing so fast?"
"You experts must know the methods, quickly teach us!"
"That's right, big brothers, don't hold back!"
The others also sincerely requested guidance from Wu Lei and his companions.
This couldn't help but make the four of them feel a bit smug.
You see, in the past, the four of them, with their low strength and disinterest in cultivation, spent all their days eating, drinking, and having fun. They were the most looked down upon by people in this circle, with no status or say.
But now, they were the center of attention, feeling like'serfs who had turned over and were singing.' Their hearts were filled with immense satisfaction.
However, they still had to maintain the appearance of experts.
Wu Lei began to speak with a profound expression: "As for quick hunting techniques, there are indeed some..."
At this point, Wu Lei began his lecture, meticulously introducing everyone to things like item synthesis, using traps, and gathering monster materials to craft equipment...
These were clearly very basic things, but for the current group of gaming novices, it was like opening the door to a new world.
"So this game has so much depth! The gameplay is so rich. I've learned a lot!"
"Yeah, no wonder I can't even beat a Thief Wyvern!"
Everyone felt a sudden enlightenment after listening.
But then Wu Lei added, "Oh, and there's one last method I haven't mentioned, and that's online co-op. It allows up to four of you to play in the same game world and team up to hunt monsters!"
"What! This game can be played together?"
"Why didn't you say so earlier? That's great!"
"Quickly, tell us, how do we play online?"
Everyone's faces showed pleasant surprise.
While the techniques Wu Lei had just explained would require them to spend time getting familiar with, with online co-op, even with poor skill, four against one, when facing some weaker monsters, they surely wouldn't fail, right?
"Each person's account has a unique co-op code. With this, you can freely team up for online play. However, I don't know how to check the co-op code specifically, but you can ask the boss directly!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go, quickly go find the boss!"
Upon hearing this, everyone eagerly planned to go find Su Ran to ask for the co-op code.
They had only taken two steps when—
"Look, there's a girl playing over there too!"
"Huh, isn't that Senior Sister Cold Condensation Moon?"
"It really is! Isn't Senior Sister Leng in seclusion cultivating, trying to break into the academy's Heaven Ranking? How did she end up playing games?"
They noticed Cold Condensation Moon playing on the other side, especially when someone curiously went over to look at her game screen and exclaimed,
"No way, she's already reached Tobi-Kadachi! That's impressive, she must have been playing for a long time, right?"
You see, among this new group of players, Liu Chengfeng was the best, and he had only just reached Tobi-Kadachi.
Wu Lei and Ouyang Qing, on the other hand, didn't find this progress strange. They glanced at the screen and commented,
"She's using a Great Hammer weapon. While this weapon is powerful, it's too cumbersome. It's inherently disadvantaged against a nimble Tobi-Kadachi, and her equipment is also average. She probably won't be able to clear it!"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt that what Wu Lei said made sense and nodded in agreement.
But who would have thought...
The screen showed a situation completely contrary to Wu Lei's prediction.
Although Tobi-Kadachi was fast, it seemed as if every one of its attacks could be perfectly predicted and easily countered by Cold Condensation Moon.
Then, like a force of nature, it was repeatedly hit in the head by Cold Condensation Moon's Great Hammer.
It had almost no chance to retaliate and was quickly taken down.
"This..."
This scene instantly stunned Wu Lei and Oriental Bright, who were greatly shocked and finally couldn't help but ask,
"How many times have you fought this Tobi-Kadachi?"
Cold Condensation Moon was in the middle of gathering materials from Tobi-Kadachi when she suddenly heard a voice. She took off her virtual helmet,
Only then did she notice the crowd behind her.
"This Tobi-Kadachi, it's quite difficult to deal with. The first time I fought it, I died about three or four times. Now I'm just farming materials, I can't remember how many times I've fought it!"
Cold Condensation Moon said it casually, but those who heard it felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
"Only died three or four times on your first clear?"
"Now you're just farming materials?"
"You... you, how did you do that?"
You see, even though Wu Lei and his group now said Tobi-Kadachi was weak, they had certainly died dozens, if not hundreds, of times back then.
Not to mention Liu Chengfeng was still stuck here!
They hadn't expected Cold Condensation Moon to clear it in just a few tries.
How was this possible!
"That's just how you do it. Pay attention to the attack patterns and rhythm of each monster, and especially look for weaknesses. Although most of these monsters have very tough bodies and poor flesh, as long as you find their weaknesses, you can cause great damage to them. Oh, and you can also use the Clutch Claw to soften their flesh, but I usually use it for headshots!"
As Cold Condensation Moon spoke, she pulled out a notebook from her in-game character's waist and opened it.
Inside were all the intelligence reports she had recorded on every monster encountered so far, such as their habitats, elemental weaknesses, flesh quality, and attack patterns and rhythms.
Although her weapon was a Great Hammer and her combat style was more uninhibited, it seemed that she handled the details within the game quite meticulously.
Not only did she, as a hunter, need to become stronger, but she also needed to clearly understand all information about her prey. Knowing yourself and your enemy, it was clear that this was the behavior of a qualified hunter.
"Wow, now this is an expert!"
"I've learned a lot, I've learned a lot! I feel like this is how the game is meant to be played!"
Many people looked at Cold Condensation Moon with admiration.
Even Wu Lei and his companions had an expression of being taught a lesson.
Cold Condensation Moon smiled, but shook her head, not hiding anything: "Actually, all of this was taught to me by the boss when I first started playing the game!"
What?
Everyone's expressions froze. They had completely not expected such an answer.
Taught by the Internet Cafe boss?
At this moment, everyone subconsciously looked in Su Ran's direction, only to see him fully engrossed in his game...
