Upon hearing Ye Weiming’s words, Tang Sancai reeled with shock.

As the top-ranking expert of the Tang Sect, he was naturally aware that the sect possessed skills in setting up mechanical traps.

However, considering that players were only recently introduced to the game, whether it was a matter of sect contribution, money, or cultivation, none were sufficient enough for one to learn all the basic skills from the sect.

Even Tang Sancai, the top-level expert from the Tang Sect, was unable to excel at everything.

Although he himself hadn’t learned the skill of mechanisms, he had witnessed his fellow disciples utilizing it.

He was confident that his understanding of traps superseded that of the majority of players in the game.

Yet Ye Weiming managed to do just that!

Not only was his swordsmanship formidable, but he also discerned the trap before Tang Sancai did and even described it so clearly.

Tang Sancai couldn’t help but feel surprised.

This guy truly is extraordinary!

In his astonishment, Tang Sancai was also quick to act.

He flicked his right hand, revealing a stone pellet which he immediately flung forward.

The pellet transformed into a streak of black light, accurately hitting the concealed steel wire within the grass.

“Snap!”

At the impact, the steel wire broke instantly.

What followed was…

“Whizz!

Whizz!

Whizz!

…”

Countless crossbow arrows were shot out from the darkness, along with over a dozen sharpened bamboo sticks.

The entire area around the steel wire was completely engulfed by hidden weapons.

The hidden weapons continuously fired for about 10 seconds, causing the lush forest to be littered with debris.

Observing this scene, both Ye Weiming and Tang Sancai couldn’t help but shiver, imagining what it would have been like to be in the heart of this weapon onslaught.

Nonetheless, Ye Weiming did not believe that his Swordsmanship technique ‘Dragon Leading the Phoenix’ would have helped him withstand it.

As for Tang Sancai… the less said, the better!

Perhaps, only someone with Zhang Cuishan’s strength could calmly handle such a trap, wouldn’t they?

Isn’t it a bit too much to set up something like this just to assassinate a soy-milk seller?

This is simply too damn excessive!

Just what is the System up to?

Despite his surprise and complaints, Ye Weiming didn’t forget to send Tang Sancai a team-up request.

After accepting the invitation, he instantly checked the team’s sharing method.

Contribution Distribution?

Feeling slightly surprised, a small smile appeared on Tang Sancai’s face.

He didn’t say much, but it was clear he was largely satisfied with this distribution approach.

In Eternal Chivalry, the team’s reward distribution modality had several options.

Contribution Distribution, suitable for random teams, determined the loot’s distribution according to a player’s contribution ratio.

These contributions went beyond just damage output, and would also factor in the damage taken, amongst other comprehensive data.

The calculation of contributions was pretty complex.

For example, when it came to taking damage, as long as the enemy’s attack was targeted at you, the damage taken was credited to you, regardless of whether you blocked or dodged the attack.

This was an efficient way to ensure fair distribution while avoiding freeloaders in the team.

The only thing that couldn’t be guaranteed was whether the items distributed into everyone’s inventory were required.

For instance, a swordsman could be assigned a pair of gloves meant for fist fighting, or a martial artist practicing unarmed combat may end up with a sword.

Situated such, this method of distribution was not feasible for familiar teams, but was practical for temporary teams like Ye Weiming and Tang Sancai, who lacked a foundation of trust.

“Hmph!

Who would have thought that the once-invincible Mighty Eagle would now resort to being protected by a couple of snot-nosed brats!

Truly pitiful!

Laughable!”

Amidst a bout of scornful and mocking speeches, three figures rapidly burst out from the forest, encircling the trio.

The man who was speaking earlier, a dark-skinned fellow, blocked their path.

With a black mole on his face and a menacing aura between his brows, he held a treasure sword in both hands, a smug smile on his face, and his gaze fixed on Soy-Milk Boy: “Recalling the past, my newly established team was entirely wiped out by you while I was chased by you for a thousand miles, almost losing my life in the process.”

“Who would have predicted that the tide would turn and Lin Zhipei would return!”

Upon hearing these imposing words from the newcomer, Tang Sancai looked at Soy-Milk Boy with a puzzled look: “You?

The Mighty Eagle?”

Soy-Milk Boy ignored Tang Sancai’s question, his gaze fixed on Lin Zhipei: “I never intended to take your life, I merely wanted to apprehend you and bring you to justice.”

“Cut the crap!” Lin Zhipei snorted: “I’ve killed dozens of people.

Once I’m in custody, is there any hope for survival?”

With a cold laugh, Soy-Milk Boy said, “So, you do understand the gravity of your crimes, don’t you?”

In the meantime, his gaze landed on the two men behind Lin Zhipei: “Ji Laiye, the Flower Picker Bee; Ge Angshou, the Gambling Lunatic.

In addition to you, Lin Zhipei, who is well-known everywhere.

Except for the already executed Chou Ba, all the gang leaders of Lotus Lair are gathered here tonight.

Truly, a great misfortune for Luoyang.”

As Soy-Milk Boy mentioned the names of the three enemies, their corresponding stats appeared atop their heads.

Lin Zhipei

Known in Jianghu as the one who shakes all sides.

Highly skilled in martial arts, with numerous evil deeds; the primary head of the Lotus Fort.

Level: 35

Life force: 16500/16500

Inner strength: 8000/8000

……

Ji Laiye

A notorious debauchee, called Flower Picker Bee by the Jianghu people; the second head of the Lotus Fort.

Level 29

Life force: 9600/9600

Inner strength: 4300/4300

……

Ge Angshou

Addicted to gambling, kills without batting an eye; fourth head of the Lotus Fort.

Level 23

Life force: 5900/5900

Inner strength: 3100/3100

……

The attribute data of the three bosses displayed, meaning both sides had officially entered into combat.

Ye Weiming even noticed that an attribute-data display similar to those of the three appeared atop Doujiang Xiao Bai, an ally.

Bai Zhanji (Injured)

The once famous bounty hunter of the Six Gate investigation bureau, known as the Mighty Eagle in Jianghu.

Retired from Jianghu due to injuries, he now sells soybean milk to earn a living.

Level: 30

Life force: 23400/23400

Inner strength: 15900/15900

……

Looking at these attributes, this soy-milk seller is so formidable?

Ye Weiming now finally understood why the enemy would make such terrifying traps to ambush him.

This guy absolutely has the potential!

Even if they set up such a trap, could it pose any substantial threat to a boss of this strength?

After glancing at the strength comparison between the two parties, Tang Sancai couldn’t help but frown, asking, “Big Brother Xiao Bai, looking at your robust attributes, how come you’re only at level 30?”

Soybean milk Xiao Bai… I mean, now he should be Mighty Eagle Bai Zhanji.

Hearing this, Bai Zhanji chuckled reluctantly, but still patiently explained to the two guys, “Actually, the most direct way to judge a person’s strength in Jianghu is by observing his level because the level is an intuitive reflection of a person’s overall strength.

At the same level, if someone’s ability in some aspect is exceptionally strong, there will be corresponding weaknesses.

Only the level reflects a person’s comprehensive qualities as a martial artist.”

After a slight pause, he added: “Of course, the standards I just mentioned do not include you players.”

Having said that, Bai Zhanji flashed, he pounced on Lin Zhipei in front of him and loudly reminded: “Young master Tang Sancai, Little brother Ye Weiming, I can hold Lin Zhipei temporarily.

You two need to quickly eliminate the remaining two opponents and come over to support me.”

Upon hearing Bai Zhanji’s reminder, both Ye Weiming and Tang Sancai felt dumbfounded.

Us two players of more than ten levels, you ask us to take on two bosses of more than twenty levels, and even to quickly eliminate the opponents.

Why don’t you just ascend to heaven?

By now, Bai Zhanji had launched himself into the air with a powerful leap, their bodies suspended upside down from high above, a palm roaring down on top of Lin Zhipei’s Baihui acupoint.
