Chapter 6: I'm Waiting for the Boss to Respawn—May I Ask What You're Waiting For?
Or could it be...
They have a club backing them?
Su Nian glanced at the time in the upper right corner and said coldly, “You want my equipment? Do you really think you have that kind of strength?”
No sooner had he spoken than the three men descending from the cliff gave their answer!
“Of course we don’t have that kind of strength,” Brother Kun stopped about ten meters from Su Nian, spreading his hands with a smile. “But don’t worry, boss.”
“A few hundred players from our club have already been arriving at Novice Village No. 5178 one after another. Maybe they have it?”
A show of force to start with.
Seeing Su Nian remain silent, Brother Kun’s tone shifted to something more serious. “But our boss just said, if you’re willing to join our Bright Moon Club...”
“All you have to do is hand over your red equipment and skill books!”
“We guarantee you a million-year salary!”
Brother Kun didn’t wait for Su Nian’s response and threatened, “Even if you want to double-cross us, do you think one piece of red equipment can withstand hundreds of people in a war of attrition early on?”
“Or do you think your talent or the items you hold could instantly kill all of us?”
A confident smile curled at the corner of Brother Kun’s mouth.
“If not, then be honest!”
“Of course, you could just quit the game.”
“If there are other players within fifty meters of your character, and you forcibly quit the game...”
“Your character won’t disappear!”
“So...”
Brother Kun changed his expression like a Sichuan opera face-change, extending a hand toward Su Nian with a look of goodwill.
“Joining Bright Moon Club is your only option right now!”
No sooner had he spoken than several players struggled to climb the cliff.
When they saw the scene below, their eyes lit up instantly!
One player shouted, “Manager Kun, the group said if we just come to support and, if necessary, sacrifice ourselves, we get a hundred bucks?”
“Stop talking nonsense, do well and you get a chicken leg!”
“Got it!”
With a shout of agreement, several players tumbled down and surrounded Su Nian in the center.
Brother Kun smiled with satisfaction, “So, what do you think?”
“Join us—it’s just a game after all. Who can really go against money?”
Su Nian calmly replied with three words: “Two and a half.”
“Alright! I’ll give you that long to think.”
Trying to buy time?
Brother Kun laughed at this.
It was exactly what he wanted.
If the other party wanted to run, with just these few people, it would be quite a challenge to keep him!
If luck was on their side and they met reinforcements after leaving the rocky cave, it would be fine; if not, their trip would be in vain.
But judging by this kid’s expression...
He was probably tempted!
After all, a million-year salary dangled right in front of him.
Who wouldn’t be tempted?
As for whether this kid would really give in...
Would the million-year salary actually count?
Tsk, tsk...
No way, no way?
Does anyone really believe in this world...
That pies fall from the sky?
If they don’t scam you until you’re left with nothing, I’m not the Black Kid!
Now it’s settled.
Within the time of one Kun clock, at least dozens more would arrive on their side.
Would they still be afraid this kid would run?
No way to escape even if you sprout wings!
A grand “Emperor” boss, and this is how he acts?
Leaving no way out for himself?
...
Time passed, minute by minute.
The number of people behind Brother Kun kept growing.
Counting carefully...
There were as many as seventy or eighty people surrounding Su Nian!
All of them had been teleported from other novice villages and then randomly transported to a spot near the rocky cave.
Otherwise, given the distance between the novice village and here...
It would take at least seven or eight minutes to arrive.
“Brother Kun, time’s up!”
At that moment, one of the henchmen reminded him.
“Oh?” Brother Kun glanced at his people around him, a confident smile spreading across his face.
He looked toward Su Nian, pulling his mouth into a grin: “Since time’s up, then...”
Suddenly!
A massive shadow instantly enveloped the center of the field!
An invisible pressure appeared out of nowhere, cutting off Brother Kun’s words.
“Wh-what is that?”
“Holy crap? Rock... rock...”
Brother Kun only caught a few gasps of shock before...
“Boom!!!”
A deafening roar filled the entire rocky cave!
The ground trembled thrice!
A giant rock beast descended from above, instantly sitting down on Brother Kun and several others below who hadn’t even reacted in time, crushing them out of sight...
[Rock Beast killed player—Brother Kun.]
[Rock Beast killed player—Too Much Water.]
[Rock Beast killed player—...]
“...”
Having dodged several meters away in advance, Su Nian looked at the stunned players around him and teased, “I’m waiting for the boss to respawn. So, may I ask...”
“What are you all waiting for?”
Naturally, no one answered.
At this moment, all the players were too stunned by the boss’s terrifying stats to even speak clearly!
“It’s the boss! What do we do now?”
“More than thirty thousand health? No way!”
“He actually can solo this level of existence?”
“Run! Run fast!”
“Roar!”
The Rock Beast let out an angry roar!
Its blood-red eyes fixed on Su Nian.
This human!
Actually killed it instantly?
This was an enormous humiliation!
As the blood-red in the beast’s eyes deepened, the cave floor trembled slightly, and pebbles constantly fell from the rock walls!
“Roar, roar!”
The rock trembled!
The Rock Beast stomped its feet fiercely.
An invisible shockwave spread rapidly from it across the ground!
Seizing the opportunity, Su Nian jumped to avoid the shockwave beneath his feet!
[Health -33.]
The aftershock of the skill still dealt a small amount of damage to Su Nian!
But the others around him were not so lucky...
[Rock Beast killed player—Kun a lot too.]
[Rock Beast killed player—She said she’s tanned.]
[Rock Beast killed player—...]
Seventy-six such notices flashed before Su Nian’s eyes!
All the players who came to besiege him...
Were completely wiped out!
Not a single survivor!
“Roar, roar!”
Seeing this hateful human still alive, the Rock Beast’s blue bar seemed endless as it unleashed its combat skill again.
Rock Summon!
In an instant!
Three huge rocks several meters wide appeared out of thin air!
They crashed toward Su Nian head-on!
Seeing this, Su Nian didn’t dare to linger.
He decisively fled!
A hero doesn’t suffer losses up close!
Moreover, he took the chance to turn back and hit twice!
“Roar, roar!”
The Rock Beast grew even angrier!
But Su Nian’s agile movements, combined with the beast’s slow actions, left it only able to watch him escape.
“Roar!”
Beast language: Damn it!
...
Just as Su Nian left the boss’s lair, he saw a very familiar ID appear in the world chat!
“Well, well?”
