YM778.TV Chapter 517: 517: Tactics
“Guild leader, this way of allocation is simply no organization and no discipline. It may make people happy in a short time, but in the long run, it’s detrimental to the guild’s development…” Wang Qi frowned slightly, reminding Song Jian in a low voice.
“If they can’t even distribute the items that they drop from hunting monsters themselves, who would want to join the guild in the future?” Song Jian asked.
Wang Qi hesitated for a moment and asked, “What if it’s items dropped by the BOSS?”
“Shouldn’t the guild have a universally recognized DKP system? Don’t tell me you haven’t set one up by now?” Song Jian turned his head and asked, surprised.
Wang Qi was stunned, then he realized and nodded, not saying another word.
Song Jian did this not to please the guild’s members, a proper system for distributing loot is the foundation of a guild’s existence. If this system makes everyone unsatisfied, the guild will have a problem.
However, no one dared to claim that the monsters Song Jian killed single-handedly were lured by them, everyone accepted the principle of reward proportional to effort. Even if good items were dropped, they just watched Song Jian pick them up with envy and didn’t snatch them.
Within less than three hours, the small monsters on the street were wiped out.
Looking at the empty streets and the burning remains of the monsters, everyone felt as if they were dreaming.
“It’s really all cleared up, it’s incredible!”
“Yeah, so many elite level 20 monsters, we didn’t lose a single person…”
Although most of the guild members were above level twenty, many of them had never fought level twenty monsters.
“Hehe, I’ve got two pieces of level 20 green equipment…” A player exclaimed joyfully, touching his head and saying.
“Me too, one green and one white…”
Looking at the highly motivated members, Wang Qi was very satisfied, he nodded, shouted loudly: “Don’t be happy too soon, there’s still a BOSS in the garage, whether we can kill it depends on all of you!”
“With the guild leader here, what are we afraid of!” Someone in the crowd yelled, immediately causing laughter all around.
Unknowingly, Song Jian’s prestige among the guild members grew higher and higher.
Everyone came casually to the entrance of the garage, looking inside.
The garage door had already been destroyed by the monsters, the area inside was vast. A BOSS, much taller than the elite Cave People Zombies, stood at the deepest point of the garage. Even though its back was hunched, it was over three meters tall. Looking from a distance, its physique was very imposing, muscles bulging, full of power;
Its joints were adorned with jewels that were different from the other cave people, emitting a rich purple glow.
Most importantly, unlike the ordinary elite little monsters, this BOSS was holding a sturdy spear in its hand. This spear, in the eyes of ordinary players, was like a dragon spear, about five or six meters long. But in the hand of the Cave People Zombie BOSS who was over three meters tall, it didn’t seem awkward at all.
Standing next to this BOSS were elite Cave People Zombies, about the same number as those on the street, around fifty or sixty. But, their levels were two higher than the monsters outside.
Seeing the BOSS and its minions, everyone fell silent.
Monsters that existed with BOSS and those that didn’t were completely different types of creatures, not to mention that these monsters were two levels higher than the ones they previously fought.
Don’t look down on this two-level gap, because of this gap, an attack might be dodged or a monster’s attack might become an overwhelming one and it could lower the hit rate of ranged professions.
A small change could cause a team wipe out.
“Li Xiu, where’s Li Xiu? Hurry up and come see how we should fight this BOSS!” Wang Qi suddenly yelled.
Then, Wang Qi explained to Song Jian in a low voice: “This guy Li Xiu is a curse master, a rare profession. He’s very adaptable and he was responsible for formulating some of the strategic behaviours we used to tackle bosses, very reliable!”
Li Xiu, upon hearing Wang Qi call his name, immediately came out standing tall, nodding at Song Jian and displaying a flattering smile.
“Hello, guild leader!” Li Xiu greeted respectfully.
Song Jian sized up Li Xiu, a young man of about the same age as himself. He wore a gray mage’s robe with silver magic runes embroidered on it, occasionally emitting streaks of silver light.
What set him apart from other mages was that Li Xiu wasn’t holding a magic staff, but a jewel. At first glance, it looked like a crystal ball, but it was filled with profound magical energy and a sense of mystery emanated from it.
“Li Xiu, how are you planning to fight this BOSS?” Song Jian asked.
“Guild leader, let’s have the person who first found this BOSS introduce its situation first,” Li Xiu said with a smile.
Song Jian looked at Wang Qi, Wang Qi nodded, and called Sun Li out again. Not everyone would have an opportunity to be in front of Song Jian.
Like Li Xiu, Sun Li made a gesture of respect to Song Jian and said, “Hello, guild leader.”
Song Jian nodded and said, “Sun Li, tell everyone about how you found this BOSS.”
“No problem, guild leader. In fact, the discovery of this BOSS was also accidental. At that time, I was…” Sun Li recounted how he had found the BOSS in detail.
On the side, Li Xiu listened attentively, occasionally interrupting Sun Li to ask a few questions. Soon, Li Xiu nodded to Song Jian, “Guild leader, hunting this BOSS won’t be easy, firstly we need to confirm one thing. If we start attacking the minions around it, will it trigger the BOSS? If attacking the minions can also trigger the BOSS, I think we have no chance of hunting it.”
Song Jian nodded, each BOSS had different characteristics. Some BOSSes would be indifferent even if all the surrounding little monsters were cleared, but others would be immediately provoked if their nearby minions were attacked, attracting a lot of hatred.
“Let’s try it, everyone back up, if that triggers the BOSS, then we’ll figure it out!” Wang Qi looked at Song Jian and said loudly.
This was the first time Song Jian participated in a guild event, and if they couldn’t kill this BOSS, the event would end in failure. Even if Song Jian doesn’t pursue it, Wang Qi would feel humiliated.
“No need, you handle the minions, leave this BOSS to me!” After staring at the BOSS for a while, a smile formed at the corner of Song Jian’s mouth.
