Chapter 46: The Sky-Cleaving Sword Takes the Heat, the Wolf King's "Item Rain"
Chapter 46: The Sky-Cleaving Sword Takes the Heat, the Wolf King's "Item Rain"
Nolan Village was bustling with people, filling the streets and alleys. Some were discussing the "monster siege," others the "dozens of blue-quality items that suddenly appeared," and still others the "flying people of Nolan Village." The atmosphere was lively and filled with excitement.
But at the moment the Howling Moon Wolf King fell to his death, every player received a system announcement:
" Ding! The Howling Moon Wolf King's siege event has ended. Thank you for your enthusiastic participation!"
The moment the announcement came, a brief silence fell over the entire village. Everyone stared at the system message, dumbfounded.
What the hell!
They had rushed here to participate in the monster siege, which was supposed to start in 19 minutes. How could it end without even beginning?!
After the brief silence, a deafening roar of outrage echoed through Nolan Village.
"Damn it! The event hasn't even started, and it's already over? Are you messing with us, game company?"
"This lousy game doesn't even have any launch events, and now you're not even giving us ten free draws. You finally hold an event, and you dare to flake on us?"
"I came all the way from another village just for this, and this is what I get?"
"The developers have no sincerity at all. I'm done with this game!"
"Damn it, refund my money!"
The players were furious, their shouts piercing the sky. The official forums also exploded, with the homepage flooded with discussions about the "canceled monster siege" and various insults directed at the game developers.
A few minutes later, the official operations team posted an explanation:
"The monster siege wasn't canceled. A player killed the boss before the siege began, claiming the rewards, making the siege unnecessary."
The staff also reassured players to look forward to future content and mentioned that other new villages would also trigger monster sieges, hoping to calm the players' anger.
This top post had a significant effect. Soon after it was posted, the players' rage shifted focus.
They began to speculate about which players had stolen their boss:
"I know! It must be a big guild that snuck in and killed the boss!" one player said.
"Disgusting! Just because they're a big guild, they can do whatever they want? They stole the reward from all of us!"
"Which big guild has that kind of power?"
"Village Six didn't have a major guild before, but recently, the Sky-Cleaving Guild has set up headquarters here."
"Again, Sky-Cleaving! It must be them! Sky-Cleaving Sword, give us our boss back!"
"Sky-Cleaving Sword, give us our boss back!"
"Sky-Cleaving Sword, come out and apologize! Share the siege rewards with the players. Why should you get everything?"
"Exactly, Sky-Cleaving Sword, come out and apologize!"
...
The players' demands were unreasonable. Even if the Sky-Cleaving Guild had indeed killed the boss, there was no need for them to compensate the players' losses. But players are rarely rational. If their interests are affected, they will lash out regardless of whether the other party is right or wrong.
Soon, the forums were flooded with strong condemnation of the Sky-Cleaving Guild.
...
Sky-Cleaving Sword was innocent and completely bewildered. He casually opened the official forum, intending to see what the players were saying about the "canceled monster siege."
But why was his guild getting flamed on the forums again?
After browsing a few posts to understand the reason, Zhan Tian Jian quickly posted a clarification: "Everyone, please believe me! This time, it really wasn't our guild that stole the boss kill. And last time, it wasn't our guild that blocked the village entrance to charge entry fees. Please believe me!"
At the bottom of the post, Zhan Tian Jian also included images of the recent battle and loot records to prove his innocence.
The members of Zhan Tian Guild were called in to help their leader bump the post, and the players' backlash gradually subsided.
Afterward, Zhan Tian Jian felt incredibly drained.
Ever since entering Evolution, he felt like he was being controlled by some invisible force, making everything go wrong. Why couldn't things just go smoothly for once?
Let's put the online and offline drama aside for now and return to Su Yu in the game.
Su Yu fell from the cliff.
The oversized leather backpack he bought wasn't a professional gliding pack; it could only slightly reduce his falling speed, which was still quite fast.
But that wasn't a problem.
The Wolf King's Pounce had a 15-second cooldown.
Su Yu's Flash Step had only a 12-second cooldown.
The leather backpack helped Su Yu extend the time before hitting the ground by about 4 seconds. By the time he was about to land, Flash Step had cooled down.
A white light flashed, and Su Yu landed steadily on the forest floor.
"Phew! Finally, monsters aren't as smart as humans."
Looking at the blue-green item "Fountain" on the Wolf King's body, a sense of satisfaction washed over him.
Su Yu transformed into a diligent little bee, picking up the dropped equipment and items one by one.
He placed the heavier gear into the system backpack and the lighter items into the leather backpack.
"Level 10 green heavy armor boots? Not bad."
"Earth Spike skill scroll? This is perfect for me."
"Hey, a pet egg! Excellent!"
The dropped pet egg was a Howling Moon Wolf Egg (Excellent). Hatching it would provide a Howling Moon Wolf pet to assist in combat.
Each player could have their first pet at level 10, and every 10 levels afterward, they could have an additional pet.
However, only one pet could be summoned at a time to assist in battle.
In two months, when the second expansion pack The Strife of Kings was released, the new Summoner class would be able to summon multiple pets.
Now that Su Yu had a pet egg, he wouldn't have to worry about not having a pet at level 10.
He put the pet egg into the system backpack and continued to pick up the other items.
While falling, Su Yu had noticed a golden glint among the "equipment and item rain" from the Wolf King. The golden light was thin and small, suggesting that the golden item wasn't a typical piece of armor but more likely a piece of jewelry or an accessory.
Regardless, anything that could be taken into the real world was valuable.
Su Yu patiently searched the ground for the dropped golden item.
Finally, after stowing most of the equipment into his backpack, he found the golden item.
Intermediate Life Recovery Potion (Golden): Restores 300 health points over 3 seconds.
"An actual golden health potion?!" Su Yu was pleasantly surprised.
