Chapter 1099 - Chapter 1099 Chapter 1099 Forming a Team

Chapter 1099: Chapter 1099: Forming a Team Chapter 1099: Chapter 1099: Forming a Team Li Yao looked at the crowded deck with a wry smile and thought to himself, Sister Li really knows how to do business. Even though it’s a cargo ship, she still carries so many players and doesn’t even let them near the cabins.

Given the limited space, most people don’t even have a place to sit; it’s pretty tough.

But there’s nothing that can be done about it, seeing the number of people boarding the ship indicates how terrible the transportation situation currently is. There are simply too many players and only a limited number of ships for each race.

It’s not like other games where the ships seem unlimited, departing every few minutes and capable of carrying any number of players.

As the Old Gods draw closer to magical reality, players increasingly feel the inconvenience, but they also gain a deeper understanding of what a true second world is all about.

Magical reality has already started to unfold, and without players realizing it, the significance of health points has weakened among other changes. However, these minor details are automatically overlooked in the face of drastic changes.

“Hey buddy, are you a survival hunter? How’s your scouting technique? Our team needs a survival hunter suitable for scouting the jungle. If you’ve got high-level scouting capabilities, you can join our team. Of course, having a Silver-rated pet that can fly or stealth is also acceptable, followers not required,” an Undead Warrior said to Li Yao.

“Sorry, I’m not a survival hunter,” Li Yao shook his head, giving the Undead Warrior a glance. It was surprising; after all, the mainstream nowadays involves rogues doing the scouting. However, in some regards and areas, survival hunters are indeed the most suitable for the scout role.

Survival hunters can use the terrain to set various traps, which might not be very useful in one-on-one combat, but can play a significant role in army warfare. As for tracking wildlife and following tracks, survival hunters are much better than rogues.

The key point is that survival hunters can judge danger based on different tracks, enabling the legion to survive better. Unexpectedly, he had encountered someone who knew the trade.

“That’s a real pity. Players have misconceptions about hunters. In reality, hunters play a significant role. What a shame, many hunters are delayed,” the Undead Warrior sighed.

“What’s so regrettable about that? Giving up on being a hunter might not be the end, but a new beginning,” Li Yao replied, his interest piqued by what he had just heard as he was about to enter the cabin.

A High Elf Warlock, cloaked just like Li Yao to conceal his stature and features, said, “That’s not entirely true. Hunters are difficult to master, but once you play them well, it really is a perfect class. Hunters are notoriously hard to get into, but once past that hurdle, without players’ biases, it wouldn’t be hard to find a job. Right now, the problem is, even if you’re a good hunter, others won’t believe you. The moment they hear you’re a hunter, they don’t want you. What can you do?”

A nearby Tauren Paladin scoffed, “Are you guys joking? Hunters useful? That’s something only newbies who know nothing would say. Everyone knows hunters are trash and unemployable.”

An Undead Death Knight from the same group also laughed coldly, “Hunters are trash. If you’re so brave, go say that to Prairie Fire. I bet you’ll get one-shotted with an arrow.”

“What’s the use of him being tough alone? It doesn’t cover up the fact that other hunters are rubbish,” the first player retorted.

Both groups began to argue fiercely, and two guards immediately came over to separate them; otherwise, they might have actually come to blows.

“You’re a hunter too, but you seem very calm,” the Undead Warrior said to Li Yao, noticing that he hadn’t joined the argument.

Li Yao shook his head, “I prefer to speak with facts. But it’s interesting that even though you don’t have a hunter, you’re arguing because of one.”

The High Elf Warlock chuckled lightly, “Because one of our good friends is a marksman hunter. He likes playing with antique guns in reality and studies bow and arrow and crossbow in the game. He works so hard that we’re here to answer the Queen’s call to the Dead Light Area for two reasons: to collect troops and to see if there’s anything about the Iron Legion, so as to find some mechanical items for a class transition for him.”

“Why didn’t your friend come with you?” Li Yao was curious.

“He’s too stubborn,” the Undead Warrior sighed. “He said his strength wasn’t enough. He didn’t even recruit followers, spent all his Gold Coins on engineering, claiming he didn’t want to hold us back. In reality, a hunter’s role is beyond question. When has he ever held us back?” “Let alone his huge contributions, even if his strength really wasn’t up to par, it’s still better to play together than alone, right?”

“You’re right, bro. The important thing about playing games is that everyone has fun.” Li Yao was really warming up to this team, not because they didn’t think the hunter was trash, but because of their attitude towards gaming.

“You’ve got the spirit we like. We’re short of people in our team. As a lone player, you should know that the war map isn’t something one can tackle alone. Come on, join us,” the Undead Warrior sent a party invitation.

Li Yao was taken aback, “I’m not a survival hunter.”

“The most important thing in gaming is having fun. Besides, we’re not up to snuff for the war map either. You can tell it’s your first time. You’ll see when we get there. It’s fine if we’re one survival hunter short. I’m just being cautious,” the Undead Warrior explained.

“Alright, then please take care of me,” Li Yao said.

Having joined the group, Li Yao noticed that all their names had a common word, such as ‘Undead Catastrophe’ for the Undead Warrior and ‘Jasmine Catastrophe’ for the female High Elf, etc.

Li Yao still used his transformation card, and now, as an Undead, his name was ‘Hunter Travel,’ a name chosen quite casually.

“Let’s go. It’s crowded here; we’ll talk in the cabin,” Li Yao suggested.

“Eh, doesn’t the Starfire guild not sell cabin tickets?” Undead Catastrophe asked.

“Hahaha, I know the boss of Starfire’s assassin hall, Shadow Dance. I got it through connections,” Li Yao explained.

A group of ten people entered the cabin amid envious glances from others. Li Yao chose a room, and everyone rested or chatted as they pleased, with plenty of food provided, making for a comfortable journey, far better than just waiting on deck.

In the afternoon, everyone finally landed in the swamp and then joined the supply convoy there. They traveled half a day and a night in the large truck, reaching the edge of the swamp the following day.

The swamp, true to its name, is full of marshes and miasma; you never know what dangers lurk in any of the mud pits. If not for following a large supply convoy, countless monsters would likely harass them.

Moreover, the paths vary greatly; only experienced NPCs know how to lead the team around the quagmire.

At the junction with the Dead Light Area lies a vast canyon, and at the throat of the canyon, a fortress is beginning to take shape. You should know that previously there was only a sentry post here, but now, with the joint efforts of the Light Faction’s humans, Dwarves, as well as the Undead and High Elves of the Dark Camp, a fortress has sprung up in just half a month.

Both factions have deployed nearby forces to garrison the fortress, preventing the Dead Light Area’s army from breaking into the swamp.

The forces of the two factions are clearly distinct, dividing the fortress between the left and the right. As soon as Li Yao and his team entered the fortress, they heard a harsh alarm…
