Chapter 517: Chapter 517: Tactics
The reason why free players would rather their safe houses be invaded and destroyed than join a guild is because once they join a guild, the administrators of the guild would use all sorts of excuses and methods to exploit the free playersâ benefits. Song Jianâs way of allocation is almost no different from their self-teaming monster hunting, and there is a great master for protection, naturally gaining the support of many people.
âGuild 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, itâs detrimental to the guildâs developmentâ¦â Wang Qi frowned slightly, reminding Song Jian in a low voice.
âIf they canât even distribute the items that they drop from hunting monsters themselves, who would want to join the guild in the future?â Song Jian asked.
Wang Qi hesitated for a moment and asked, âWhat if itâs items dropped by the BOSS?â
âShouldnât the guild have a universally recognized DKP system? Donât tell me you havenât set one up by now?â 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 guildâs members, a proper system for distributing loot is the foundation of a guildâs 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 didnât 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.
âItâs really all cleared up, itâs incredible!â
âYeah, so many elite level 20 monsters, we didnât lose a single personâ¦â
Although most of the guild members were above level twenty, many of them had never fought level twenty monsters.
âHehe, Iâve got two pieces of level 20 green equipmentâ¦â A player exclaimed joyfully, touching his head and saying.
âMe too, one green and one whiteâ¦â
Looking at the highly motivated members, Wang Qi was very satisfied, he nodded, shouted loudly: âDonât be happy too soon, thereâs still a BOSS in the garage, whether we can kill it depends on all of you!â
âWith the guild leader here, what are we afraid of!â Someone in the crowd yelled, immediately causing laughter all around.
Unknowingly, Song Jianâs 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 didnât 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 didnât were completely different types of creatures, not to mention that these monsters were two levels higher than the ones they previously fought.
Donât look down on this two-level gap, because of this gap, an attack might be dodged or a monsterâs 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.
âLi Xiu, whereâs Li Xiu? Hurry up and come see how we should fight this BOSS!â Wang Qi suddenly yelled.
Then, Wang Qi explained to Song Jian in a low voice: âThis guy Li Xiu is a curse master, a rare profession. Heâs very adaptable and he was responsible for formulating some of the strategic behaviours we used to tackle bosses, very reliable!â
Li Xiu, upon hearing Wang Qi call his name, immediately came out standing tall, nodding at Song Jian and displaying a flattering smile.
âHello, guild leader!â Li Xiu greeted respectfully.
Song Jian sized up Li Xiu, a young man of about the same age as himself. He wore a gray mageâs 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 wasnât 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.
âLi Xiu, how are you planning to fight this BOSS?â Song Jian asked.
âGuild leader, letâs have the person who first found this BOSS introduce its situation first,â 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, âHello, guild leader.â
Song Jian nodded and said, âSun Li, tell everyone about how you found this BOSS.â
âNo problem, guild leader. In fact, the discovery of this BOSS was also accidental. At that time, I wasâ¦â 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, âGuild leader, hunting this BOSS wonât 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.â
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.
âLetâs try it, everyone back up, if that triggers the BOSS, then weâll figure it out!â Wang Qi looked at Song Jian and said loudly.
This was the first time Song Jian participated in a guild event, and if they couldnât kill this BOSS, the event would end in failure. Even if Song Jian doesnât pursue it, Wang Qi would feel humiliated.
âNo need, you handle the minions, leave this BOSS to me!â After staring at the BOSS for a while, a smile formed at the corner of Song Jianâs mouth.
