Chapter 61.2

“Small Crystal Stone, Desolate Jade…” After putting these two rare forging materials into his inventory, Gu Yan prepared to wait till the afternoon, after he went offline, to sell it on the game’s forum. Like this, these two items can sell for at least 30,000 credit points.

As for the Void Spirit Magic Robe, Gu Yan immediately equipped it after receiving it. While its INT/intelligence attribute points could not be compared to the one he was wearing, Gu Yan had his eye on another very rarely seen attribute that this piece of equipment had: [Movement speed +10%].

Magicians typically didn’t have movement skills and the flying broom’s additional movement speed was also unable to completely compensate for this weakness. The situations in dungeons required fast movements which could easily disrupt a magician’s casting. Thus, it made players of this profession less effective.

If it wasn’t for magicians having the one and only crowd controlling skill, this class might have only been a reserve player. The type where players would only use once in a thousand years ever since it was released.

The bells ringing from the cathedral resounded throughout the town. Right now, everyone in every corner of town could clearly hear this heavy and solemn sound, while the Griffin Knights patrolling the skies above town would stop and gather, waiting for the bell to finish ringing before continuing their patrol.

At this moment, Gu Yan entered a tavern called “Golden Casks”. He had replied last night’s message from the guild master of Wings of Dawn after he had finished receiving his mail. Very soon, they confirmed a place to meet.

“A glass of Honey Liquor,” Gu Yan randomly ordered something when he was asked for his order.

Entering a tavern but not ordering any alcohol was inexcusable. If the owner was a dwarf with a short temper, he would be chased out within minutes.

As to why this holographic game was named ‘The World’, one of the main reasons was its degree of realism. Even if they were NPC’s, they would still have their own lives, operating just like reality.

Gu Yan chose an empty and spacious corner to sit, and not long after he had ordered, a cup of amber colored drink was placed on the wooden table.

Just then, the young ball originally quietly lying on his head jumped onto the table. Gu Yan hadn’t even reacted in time before he saw the kitten approach the vicinity of the cup, made a sniffing motion, before sticking out its tongue to lap at the drink.

“Qiuqiu—”

At once, he carried the kitten back into his embrace. Even though he knew that this was not reality, and the one he was carrying in his hands was also not a normal cat, Gu Yan still did it out of reflex.

Lowering his head, the round ball of fluff purred and rubbed against the youth’s body, before lightly reclining into his embrace. Yes, it reclined, instead of laying on its stomach.

Gu Yan: …

He felt like… His family’s Qiuqiu was drunk. Drinking alcohol in the game would have the same effects as in reality, and honey liquor was hard liquor.

Watching the above scenario happen, a human carrying a heavy broadsword on his back smiled as he sat opposite of the magician.

“Sorry, my Stone of Return was not bound to Justenya. Rushing from the Flaming Canyons took some time.” After expressing his apologies, Ke Zhou very quickly directed the conversation to the main topic. “This morning, Silver Cross Crusader’s elite party successfully attacked the Netherworld’s last BOSS into phase two. They are the first party to be able to persist under the Death God’s attacks and last seven minutes before wipeout.”

Gu Yan nodded. This was something he knew. After all, in the plot that he had written in the past, the party to get First Kill for the Death God was also Silver Cross Crusader.

“What went wrong for them was that just when they entered phase two, the BOSS went berserk. This BOSS’ berserk mechanism is probably a special case, only giving us seven minutes to fight.” Speaking till this point, Ke Zhou spread out his arms and loosened his shoulders. This BOSS’s extremely strict requirements for tanks could be forgotten, but now, its requirements for DPS was also reaching the limits.

Firstly, cutting down numbers was definitely a no go. The moment numbers were cut to fight this BOSS then everything would collapse, this meant that the required awareness of the damage dealer must be extremely high. The stress on the healers was also huge.

This seven minutes berserk mechanism was also another thing to go crazy about. The party’s DPS output per second needed to be above 35k to be able to topple the boss within the time limit, otherwise, it would go berserk and wipe out the party.

What kind of concept 35k damage per second? Every guild would only have four to five damage dealers that could put out that kind of damage, and after taking away those whose awareness did not meet the target in real combat, the numbers would drop to three.

For every guild’s elite party, wanting to pull in those remaining tens of players was something that would waste god knows how much time. Thus, while the news of the seven-minute berserk mechanism was being released, the top-ranking guilds straightforwardly raised talk of an alliance.

After explaining the above situation, the human warrior coughed. “I lost in dice so I’m responsible for pulling in the number one most reliable magician. Death God… this BOSS needs a magician’s crowd dispersing skill, but to find one that can hit 35k damage per second is simply too difficult…”

It was basically impossible to find one.

“After taking up the number one ranking in the Arena for so long, the most reliable magician that I can think of is only you. I don’t know if you’re interested in joining our party made up of three guilds. Of course, after defeating the BOSS, you’ll have priority selection in the loot.” The moment he finished speaking, Ke Zhou sent a party invitation to the magician in front of him.

The little kitten reclining in his embrace was purring non-stop. Gu Yan accepted the party invitation, then helplessly rubbed the soft stomach of this kitten.

There was a class quest belonging to a magician that had to be opened up in the Netherworld, so Gu Yan would obviously not reject this invitation. It was just that he had a question he wanted to ask this ball of fluff reclined in his embrace, but this would probably have to wait until the other was clear-minded before he could ask…
