Chapter 530: Maybe He’s a Little Noob?
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Since Mr. Fang had told the part of the story involving Vanishing Steps to the cultivators and warriors in the Jiuhua City Shop, the people of the Spiritual State and Deserted Sea Realm who hadn’t heard of it had to hear the previous chapters from those who had listened in Jiuhua City.
Naturally, Fang Qi couldn’t tell the story word by word and explain the theories of techniques as he had done before.
Of course, since they were all stuff recreated by the system, and the two games were similar, Fang Qi could explain the techniques better with the help of Dungeon Fighter Online
Mr. Fang continued the story; he told them the part about dual-linking ghost boundaries and finished with the screen cannon tactic used in the battle against Jiang You.
The ghost boundary was similar to drawing a prison on the ground and keeping enemies inside. However, who would be so dumb as to stand in the boundaries during a battle? It needed high awareness and cooperation. If the opponents were all masters, it would be exponentially difficult to get them into the boundary. When the audience heard that two classes with the skill of ghost boundaries can cooperated seamlessly and put their enemies in their ghost boundaries all the time, they were awed by its power.
“Sir… the grandmaster named Ye Xiu is really so powerful?!”
“Even with the restrictions on his level, he can still perform to perfection…” They stumbled over these new terms, “Perform to perfection?”
“How come that owner of an internet café is so lame that he can’t recognize a grandmaster?! After all, he owns an internet café!” After all, in the eyes of the people in this world, the people who could open an internet café were as powerful as masters who were living the hermit lifestyle.
While Mr. Fang was bombarded by questions from the people around him, exclamations came from the people of the Ultimate West Realm.
On the screen, Sia stood in the dojo with a purple great sword sparkling with magic light in her hand; this sword had been reinforced eight times. This room in Pungjin’s dojo was set in the same mode as a dungeon; the only difference was that the players didn’t fight with monsters but with each other.
Also, the dojo had a balance mechanism; the attributes of the players would be adjusted to relatively closer levels.
Of course, the adjustment wouldn’t eliminate a large gap in equipment and levels. The players with better equipment and higher levels still had advantages, but the advantages weren’t as big as before.
Despite the fact that the gap between strength shortened, some people were not greatly affected; Sia was one of them. Right now, wearing a fashionable outfit, she had several reinforced purple-tier equipment, and her weapon had been reinforced to level 8. Her level was now close to level 30, which was one of the highest in the shop.
At this stage, with almost all players still equipped with white and blue equipment, her items far surpassed those of ordinary players. This was a gap that even the balance mechanism couldn’t shorten.
Inside the dojo was a huge platform; her opponent was a male fighter.
The male fighter had reached level 27, but he was completely suppressed by Sia. By now, she had inflicted quite a few wounds on him.
“Ha!” With a yell, Sia slashed out her greatsword and shot out a series of sharp sword energies. While her opponent was busy dodging, she charged forward with a lowered center of gravity like a leopard lunging at its prey.
“Swift Sword!” Her whole body shot out and left a series of blurry shadows, and the great sword in her hand turned into a sword light afterimage.
As mentioned before, the sword techniques of swordmasters emphasized explosive damage. After the first awakening, the swordmasters were called noblesse who were renowned for their sword techniques. The Swift Sword was one of these techniques.
A fragment of a shadow shot past with unimaginable, great speed. When she put away her sword, the fighter flew backward with dented armor as if he were struck with a huge impact force.
When the fighter flew toward her, the sword that Sia put away suddenly struck out again. “Flash!”
Flash! This skill condensed force and could instantly shoot three giant spirit swords forward. Although it needed a very short moment to cast, the damage contained in this strike was overwhelming once it was used!
The huge spirit swords shot through the fighter almost in the blink of an eye. With a scream, the fighter vanished, leaving behind only his military uniform and boots. With her long black hair fluttering in the wind (one could change the hair color and style in the shop), the swordmaster held her greatsword and stood proudly at the center of the screen. The victory symbol already popped up on the screen.
“So powerful!”
“Her opponent wasn’t even able to fight back!” a few people of the Ultimate West Realm exclaimed.
“With such equipment and powerful sword techniques, she’s unstoppable!”
On the screen, the swordmaster smiled. Having won many matches in a row, Sia was a little smug.
….
“Sir!” The people of Spiritual State had only heard about these techniques and movements from Mr. Fang and hadn’t seen them before. While they were enthralled by the story, to their surprise, Mr. Fang ended the story with the excuse that he was too thirsty to continue.
An idea dawned on them. “Sir, you’re tired of talking right? Maybe it’s time to get some excises? We’ve never seen you in the dojo before. Why don’t you try it now?”
Tang Yu’s eyes lit up. “That’s a good idea!”
“Should I try it?” Mr. Fang scratched his head.
“Fine. I’ll try my hand.” Soon, Mr. Fang came to the dojo.
At this stage, the dojo offered two options to enter a match. One was a fast start, and the other was entering another player’s room manually.
Randomly, Mr. Fang clicked into the first room on the first page.
In the system version, the players with the most matches and the highest win rate would get placed higher on the list. The win rate of the player in the first room on the first page wouldn’t be low.
Fang Qi looked closer and said, “Wow. It is a little noblesse sister (Swordmasters would awaken as noblesse)?”
On the other side, a group of warriors of the Ultimate West Realm saw the prompt on the left-upper corner of the screen, [The player ‘Kill One Teammate with One Bullet’ has entered the room.]
“Hahahaha! Kill One Teammate with One Bullet?! What name is this? So funny!”
“…” Even Sia almost laughed out loud, wondering who would get such a name.
“Maybe he’s a noob?” In the game, since there was no mechanism to prevent harming teammates, many new players often made mistakes. (Killing teammates on purpose was seldom seen since such behavior would lead to punishment.)
“He doesn’t even have a new outfit!”
“He is only wearing the white and blue equipment! Maybe he’s indeed a little noob?”
“This name is hilarious. Hahaha!”
This name is so funny; maybe he is here to tell jokes?
