Chapter 1229 - Chapter 1229 Chapter 1229 Surging Waves

Chapter 1229: Chapter 1229: Surging Waves Chapter 1229: Chapter 1229: Surging Waves In the spaceship restaurant, Edward was dining while carefully watching the screen within the light curtain, so engrossed that he probably couldn’t even taste what he was eating.

Next to him, a blond man was also watching the screen with the same engrossment as Edward, evidently captivated by whatever was on display, mechanically eating his food.

“Chairman, do you really need to do this? What’s so interesting about Prairie Fire that you’re ignoring reality?” the woman across them said.

Edward snapped back to his senses and asked, “How is it not realistic?”

“Look at how he’s playing, like a computer; it’s completely mechanical and he never makes a mistake, how is that possible? Plus, in this part, there are five Blood Hunters on the high tower.

As soon as anyone shows their face, they get shot dead. The normal strategy is to use the items collected earlier to take a detour and climb the tower from another side, taking out each Hunter before you can pass this stage.

But look at him; he doesn’t use any items at all and just uses the anti-reverse skill Reverse Wave to kill several Hunters outright. It’s inhuman.

For most, reflecting even a single attack is difficult enough, let alone reflecting and dodging the other Hunters’ attacks while under the fire of five well-coordinated Hunters. So many people get stuck here for a long time,

but in his hands, he clears it in a minute. I personally couldn’t do it.”

Edward turned to the blond man beside him and asked, “What do you think?”

“I’ve gone over it many times in my head, and I can’t do it,” the blond man said with a wry smile. “If it were just one archer, maybe I could pull off a reverse wave kill, but five? Aside from the difficulty of a reverse wave, just finding the opportunity to do so while under constant fire from five Hunters is hard enough.”

“It’s precisely because we can’t do it that we need to continue studying. He’s human, and if he can do it, so can we one day. If you start off thinking it’s impossible, then it will always be impossible. You’re a top-notch player; how can you think like this? We really shouldn’t have this kind of attitude,” Edward said slightly discontented.

The blond man set down his knife and fork, saying, “I’ve gained a bit of insight, I’m full. Now I’m going to try again.”

The man next to the woman across also said, “Chairman, it’s not like we’re not studying, it’s just that we’ve tried, and we end up dying more miserably than before. Not using items or gear, and no damage–to be honest, that guy is just not human, okay?”

“Exactly, it’s not human at all. And look at this part here,” the woman pointed at the screen and said, “The boss of the first floor’s mansion is a mutated werewolf. The creature naturally has high attack and incredible agility and is also huge. On top of that, it has several minions assisting it.”

“We don’t know how many times we died initially. Later, players concluded that these werewolves are weak to fire, and someone figured out how to use the oil drums from the previous stages to create advantageous terrain. Then they combined Anti-fire Charms and Slow Charms to gradually wear down the minions and apply a burning effect on the boss to weaken it enough to kill.”

“But when it came to him, he unexpectedly learned an anti-reflect skill called Reverse Wave with the initial skill points, and combined it with the rapier’s bonus damage to the back. One reverse wave reflected the opponent’s attack, then he used the skill’s special effect to strike and kill from behind. Even the boss couldn’t withstand five Reverse Waves of damage output.”

“Look, a boss that takes others more than half an hour to kill, in his hands, it’s less than two minutes. What the heck, it’s just not human, okay? Such a freak, I really can’t learn from him.”

Edward also sighed and kept replaying Li Yao killing the boss, “What you said is also right. The method others use is to collect a set of Heavy Armor that is fire-resistant and add damage attribute charms. That way, you can withstand five hits from the minions and two or three from the boss. For this boss, I repeatedly farmed earlier stages, gathered lots of items before I could get through this part, and he didn’t even use a single Sharpening Stone on his weapon to clear it. Especially facing the combined attacks from the boss and its minions, he had no equipment, and a single touch from the minions would kill him, but he still found opportunities. He truly is a monster.”

The female player across sighed, “It’s not just that, the later stages are even harder, yet he managed to reach the fifth floor as if in a dream. But I did learn quite a bit, like in the third level, which is just a trap-filled Underground Palace. Most players are tortured to death by those traps, but for him, they became a place to farm experience, unbelievably pulling over high-health, high-defense monsters from other areas and using positioning to use the traps to kill them. Plus, he managed to discover so many secret doors through meticulous observation. Sigh, that’s why the more I watch, the more terrifying I find him, and the less confident I become, so that’s why I’ve stopped watching.”

“Look at what you’re saying; you met him in person yesterday. He didn’t even look particularly handsome, so if he can do it, we surely can too. If we’re not as skilled, we just have to learn and practice more. Have you eaten enough? If so, let’s continue practicing reflecting arrows and bullets,” Edward said.

“Ugh, still practicing,” the woman’s face twisted into a bitter gourd expression, “Weren’t we supposed to be on a vacation?”

“Heh heh, but he probably won’t be able to be smug for long,” the man next to her said.

Edward raised an eyebrow and asked, “Oh? Did you figure something out?”

“Ahem, no,” the man replied. “I’m talking about something else. With this exchange happening with those Magical Races from outer space, you know how those barbarians are; there’s bound to be some kind of competition. And even though Prairie Fire was lucky to become the captain of the New Mech team, he’ll be the first to face it. He’s undoubtedly formidable in the game, but in reality, well, he’s probably going to embarrass himself this time…”

Edward frowned: “Enough, he’s human, and when he goes into battle, he represents all of humanity. If he loses, do you think that’s something to be proud of? I don’t want to hear such talk again. We’re opponents, not enemies. If you’re capable, you should train properly and strive to dominate him with your skills, not slander others like this. With such a narrow mind, when we get back, you’re going down to the second team as a substitute, and if you don’t learn your lesson, that’s as far as your skills will go.”

After saying this, Edward left without so much as a glance at the man’s apology.

“You idiot, saying all that in front of the Chairman, now you’ve done it,” the woman also left promptly.

Edward hadn’t gone far when he saw Li Yao walking into the restaurant with the people from Starfire, and he paused and said, “Chairman Liaoyuan.”

Li Yao blinked, “Chairman Edward, what a coincidence, are you full?”

“No, couldn’t decide what to eat. How about together?” Edward glanced at the people from Starfire, “I hope I won’t be interrupting.”

“How could that be? Let’s eat together then,” Sister Li said with a smile.

Edward gladly returned to the table, chatting and laughing with the people from Starfire, even asking several technical questions. Li Yao did not hold back, answering any question posed to him.

The two from Edward’s guild, just about to leave, suddenly exchanged looks…
