Chapter 84: Owl Lord’s First Kill!
One team failed, so another team continued to challenge Owl Lord.
Among them was a team led by Old Man Hai.
In this ten-thousand-player closed beta test, some members of the Zero Investigation Bureau managed to join in and teamed up with Elder Hai.
They also joined the process of attacking Owl.
Like Fang Ze, they used a method of stuffing things in their ears to challenge Owl Lord.
As expected, they also experienced illusions.
However, unlike Fang Ze’s team, Elder Hai and the others caught a glimpse of the true form of Owl Lord in their daze, not the young girl!
This made Old Man Hai and the others come up with a new guess.
Maybe a person’s determination can also affect Owl Lord’s control over their five senses!
Old Man Hai and the others discussed strategies around this idea and found out that not only determination can affect Owl Lord’s control!
Soul lifespan can also work!
If a person’s soul lifespan exceeds one hundred years, Owl Lord’s control over them will be greatly reduced!
Sometimes, it can even render Owl Lord’s illusions completely ineffective!
However, due to prolonged boss battles, most players nowadays do not have a soul lifespan of over one hundred years.
Even though Fang Ze and his companions spend time constantly defeating monsters to replenish, their average soul lifespan is only over sixty years now.
Other players have even less.
With less money coming in, there were fewer teams hunting demon beasts. Most people chose to mine or farm instead.
Judging by the season, it should be springtime in the game now.
It’s the perfect time for farming!
Some players started cultivating different types of grass seeds a long time ago.
To be honest, they didn’t even know what seeds they were planting, but decided to plant first and figure it out later!
Most players decided to farm in the outskirts and partnered up to cultivate the farmland together.
Otherwise, there might be players sneaking in at night to steal crops once they grow.
Now, the housing situation in the Tower of Seals is getting tighter due to the increasing number of players.
With more players, each player’s personal territory is expanding.
To prevent chaos, a few skilled players stepped up to plan the situation of the land.
At this point, players from both inside and outside the country reached a consensus.
Firstly, there are two places in the game that cannot be enclosed.
These are the main road in front of the Tower of Seals and the circular small square around the Tower of Seals.
These two areas cannot be enclosed, so there is no need for planning.
Building on this foundation, the players divided into four lanes in total!
(Please refer to the concept map directly)
(The above image is for reference only and does not represent the actual size)
After the players unified in planning the four main roads, subsequent houses should try to avoid being close to the roads.
The houses are all concentrated in Tower of Seals, in the northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest directions.
The southeast and northwest directions were left open for four major roads.
Skilled players have started paving this area with bricks.
Of course, it’s not free. The players collectively contributed money to repair the roads.
This plan was proposed by the owners of the brick factory. They have stored a lot of bricks in their warehouse.
It’s a perfect opportunity to sell all of them!
It’s worth mentioning that Zhang San, who returned from studying with the Hobbit, also took a piece of land and opened a Blacksmith Shop.
In the past, when the Hobbit first left the tower, he helped Zhang San make an iron pedal and personally carried it over to him.
This surprised all the players.
After that, the Hobbit couldn’t help but exclaim, saying that he didn’t expect the players to have developed the outside like this.
Then, he shook his head and returned to the tower.
Later, Zhang San started recruiting apprentices and teaching forging skills in order to raise funds for the Blacksmith Shop.
Of course, he was not the only one who learned blacksmithing knowledge from the Hobbit.
In total, five people returned after completing their training, but the other four had no intention of taking on apprentices to earn startup funds.
They chose to seek funding!
As for who to seek funding from?
For example… the first wealthy player in the game, the wealthy brother in Fang Ze’s guild, Taoist Qian.
Everything was progressing smoothly, and progress on the Owl Lord’s side was also speeding up.
The frontline strategy team is starting to increase in numbers.
When there were fewer players before, only top strategy teams like Fang Ze and others existed.
But as the number of players increased, some T2 and T3 teams also started to grow gradually!
Among them are some teams of foreign players.
Interestingly, none of the top foreign players are gamers in real life.
The fiercest team, with a captain named Rolle, a hardcore survival enthusiast, is known as Rolle.
Rolle often films documentaries of himself surviving in the wilderness and is called a top survival master.
At the same time, foreign players refer to him as the man standing at the top of the food chain.
However, if that were all, this team would not have advanced to a T2 team in such a short time.
Among the members of this team, there is a heavyweight presence.
Muscle Tank, Zhang Qingyanson.
The three-time free fighting champion, the underground boxing king, was reported for doping during the finals of the boxing championship and disqualified.
And their team members are no pushovers either.
Of course, there are many new T2 teams, but I won’t list them all here.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
A piece of unexpected news instantly went viral in the game!
[Server-wide announcement!]
[Congratulations player: Yama]
[Achieved first kill on Scheming Owl Lord!]
Team member: Night Song.
。。。
"Just two people in the team?!"
"Only two people managed to defeat the Scheming Owl Lord with tricks?!"
"Oh no!"
"What kind of monster is this?"
"Wasn’t Red Named Player the one playing music at midnight?!"
"Is this person so abnormal?"
"Who is this Yama?"
"Never heard of him, a newcomer this time?"
"Wow, the newcomer is catching up with the old player!"
"This time, there is no screen time for Master Holy Light?"
"The younger generation surpasses the older generation, this young talent is too amazing!"
"A new T1 player has emerged."
"Haha, whatever muscle tank, whatever top man in the food chain, in the end, it’s still a first kill for us Chinese players with the Owl Lord!"
"Yama is awesome!"
"Two more celebrities on the leaderboard now."
"I wonder where the Red Named Player has gone. Oh, they went to defeat the Owl Lord."
"Taking a neutral standpoint, I support Night Song!"
"Agreed!"
。。。
Inside the Tower of Seals.
The palace of the Owl Lord.
Yama grinned as he looked at the bird head gold ring in his hand and said, "Sorry, it seems like I will be the first to defeat you."
Night Song, covered in wounds, coughed up blood.
Because his ears were pierced, he couldn’t hear what Yama was saying.
Soon after, Yama directly apologized through text, saying he didn’t mean to steal the first kill.
Hopes to receive Night Song’s forgiveness.
But this time, Night Song sacrificed a lot, using his soul lifespan multiple times to control Owl Lord with the ability of Evil Eye!
He also took risks by actively enduring Owl Lord’s various abilities.
However, in the end, the first kill was snatched by Yama!
Night Song said it’s fake not to be angry, but Yama quickly added in text.
"I’m willing to give you seventy percent of the rewards from this time, I’ll keep only thirty percent."
"After all, I’ve already snatched the first kill, it’s embarrassing to take so much more reward."
"And, even though your name isn’t written on the first kill, at least your name is among the team members."
"Players must have remembered you, no matter what, this time you won’t lose."
Night Song thought for a moment and realized it was true.
The first kill is just a title, it’s better to earn more money and soul lifespan.
Yama also gave Night Song seventy percent of the profits as promised.
It may seem like Yama lost out, only gaining a title, but in reality?
He obtained a legendary level ring, something Night Song didn’t expect the boss to drop, so he was secretly delighted.
