At this moment, Dicas shielded Nalan Hongwu with Power Word: Shield.
When the ogre smashed down its huge hammer, Nalan Hongwu raised his shield and blocked it as he had done before.
He blocked the attack without making any noise when the attack was perfectly absorbed by the combination of Power Word: Shield and Nalan Hongwu’s shield defense.
With the impact force totally absorbed, Nalan Hongwu stood his ground firmly.
When his shield was broken, a streak of Holy Light would fall on him before he received another Power Word: Shield.
Everyone’s eyes lit up at this scene.
This exploration was now on a different difficulty level compared to before!
If the previous exploration was on the hellish difficulty level, then the present one was on easy difficulty.
Only Nalan Hongwu needed to keep his eye on the boss to prevent it from lunging at others. As for others in the party…
“I’m doing DPS without thinking!” Mo Xian yelled.
The group was supported by the powerful main tank. Every time the ogre tried to bypass Nalan Hongwu and lunge at the players in the back, Nalan Hongwu would take the critical position and appear in its way. If it focused its attention on attacking Nalan Hongwu, it was impossible for it to win!
The players behind Nalan Hongwu felt no pressure at all.
It seemed as if an iron wall had been put up between them and the boss!
“I feel like we’re unrivaled this time!” Mo Xian yelled.
All kinds of spells and sword and saber techniques poured toward the boss without mercy!
“We passed it!”
Elated shouts sounded.
At this moment, they were filled with an explicable thrill. It was the elation of success after overcoming a difficult challenge!
“Wahahaha!” Mo Xian almost jumped up in joy. Putting down her virtual reality headset, she turned a circle sitting in her swivel chair, feeling as if they had created a new era!
Nalan Hongwu exhaled deeply and put down his virtual reality headset as well. In his livestream room, comments such as [Awesome] flooded the screen.
Seeing powerful enemies falling before them, the other members were also thrilled, including Ji Yu and Liang Heihu who had backed out voluntarily for this new strategy.
This was the result of collective wisdom, and they deserved a portion of the credit.
Smugly, Mo Yan sent a screenshot to Mr. Fang. [Sir, aren’t we good? Isn’t it a nice surprise?! Our self-improvement team killed the boss in the Deadmines all by ourselves! We also discovered a super powerful system of warrior, mage, and priest!]
[Are you envious of us?]
Busy with the official novels, Mr. Fang suddenly saw this QQ message.
He clicked it open and read it. “Hiss…”
[(Meme of Mr. Fang clapping) Awesome! Awesome!] Mr. Fang drew on his cigarette and said deeply, [But… you are using QQ shortcut keys to take this screenshot? Aren’t you controlling your character in the game?]
[Yeah… any problem with that?] Mo Xian said smugly, [We cleared all the nearby mobs. Don’t worry!]
[Wiped out,] Mr. Fang replied.
[What wiped out?]
[Look at the game. Your party was wiped out.]
[Impossible! You’re just jealous that this fairy created a new…] While she spoke, she switched to the game. […Era?]
Her voice turned weaker and weaker when she froze at the scene before her.
Her screen was grey.
Only Paladin Elven was still swinging his sword against waves of mobs while yelling with indignation, “Ahhh-! Where are you guys?! How come you are all AFK!”
The party was wiped out!
[The commotion of the battle in the Deadmines will easily alert the patrolling mobs behind the gate. If you guys drop your guard, you’ll be wiped out.]
Then, Mo Xian saw Mr. Fang’s reply.
“!!!”
[Why didn’t you tell me earlier!] Mo Xian was frustrated.
…
After recovering their corpses in the Deadmines with great efforts, they cleared the patrolling mobs.
After defeating the monsters guarding the door, they entered the interior of the Deadmines and discovered that the interior was a huge spacious area.
It looked like a huge underground kingdom!
Walking deeper into the tunnels, they saw a huge lumber mill. Sneed was leading its goblins to process every wood piece with great care. His huge shredder not only could be used for cutting wood but was also a powerful mecha.
Walking down the wide spiral steps, they saw a huge furnace center. Smelter Gilnid and a team of engineers were mining all kinds of minerals and ores while all kinds of machines and cannons were being developed in this place.
“F*ck! Take positions! Don’t pull the patrolling mobs!”
“Pull over here! Pull over here!”
“Dropped!” Despite the occasional wipe-outs, the players worked more smoothly after getting familiar with the system of warrior, mage, and priest.
“Luxury jewelry ring?!” A ring with a blue name appeared before everyone.
“Blue rare quality?!”
“A ring?!”
After all, the players hadn’t seen a piece of jewelry yet after playing for so long! At this moment, all players were using white common equipment and green uncommon equipment!
The loot distribution system in World of Warcraft had three methods: rolling for points, free-for-all, and assigned by the leader.
Clearly, they chose the method of rolling which was fair and just.
“Give me 100 points!” Mo Xian exclaimed, excited that the first boss dropped something good.
She rolled 30 points.
“…”
“I’ll try it?” Nalan Hongwu rolled for need.
[TL Note: In group loots, all members in the party will get a rolling window with the item and two buttons. Party members can press the dice button to NEED roll for the item, or the gold coin to Greed roll for the item, or lastly the red X close button to pass on the item. The looting will first resolve all NEED rolls, if none then Greed rolls.]
[28 points.]
“…”
“Mine! Mine!” For the mages in the real world, the magic pieces of jewelry were quite valuable. Even though this ring was only a virtual item, Dicas was still excited, which made people wonder about her purpose in the mystical realm; cultivation or something else.
She immediately clicked on [Need Roll].
[90 points!]
“Hahahaha!”
[Teammate Fairy Liu obtained the item: luxury jewelry ring.]
[100 points]!
“Ahyaaaa!” Dicas almost spewed out blood.
“This ring… can only be used in this mystical realm, right? What’s so good about it?” The mages who were watching Dicas’ Spiritual Spell Visual Projection looked puzzled.
Aren’t you in the mystical realm for cultivation?!
How come you look as if you are here just to play in this so-called ‘online game’?
At this moment, their playtime was almost up.
“Should we…”
“Borrow some time from tomorrow?” Liu Ningyun suggested.
“Let’s do it! I will give you milk!” Dicas was excited at the good item that they had looted. “I can borrow 10 hours!”
Nalan Hongwu said, “I have no objections.”
“We need to return to our faction tonight…” Liu Ningyun said, “Let’s borrow two hours. With our current pace, we can kill the next boss if we’re careful…”
“I still have training tomorrow…” Commander Elven looked worried.
“Don’t worry! We’ll play at most three to four hours! Let’s go!” Mo Xian assured him.
“Okay! Okay! We’ll finish this instance and get offline in three to four hours!”
“Sir! Add three hours for us!”
– Three hours later –
“Clear the mobs before us!”
“Don’t pull the patrolling mobs!
They roared in the game.
When the group entered the depths of the mine, the players saw a huge ship equipped with many cannons docked on the vast underground lake.
They had never imagined that there would be such a powerful weapon in the depths of the mine.
This ship was the ultimate weapon that the Defias Brotherhood intended to use to destroy Stormwind City. The gifted artisans and builders had spent the first half of their lives on building Stormwind City, and the second half of their lives were invested in this ship.
This ship’s mission was to destroy the masterpiece that they had created in the first half of their lives.
“Add… five more hours! I think we’ll finish this instance soon!”
“!!??” The mages who were watching Dicas’ Spiritual Spell Visual Projection almost wet their pants when they heard it.
“They want to continue?!”
After the players fought their way onto the battleship, they encountered four bosses including First Mate Mr. Smite, Captain Greenskin, Murloc Cookie, and Leader VanCleef.
“It’s lunging at the back! Cast shields on the players at the back!”
“Pull it! Warriors, keep the aggro!”
“Ahh-! We did it!”
Dicas, Mo Xian, and others all had dark circles under their eyes. “Ahahaha! Look at what items they dropped!”
“???” The mages, who had been watching Dicas doing this instance led by people of the ‘East Continent’, looked out at the sky dumbfoundedly. “It’s daybreak now?!”
“You people of the East Continent cultivate so damn enthusiastically?”
