Chapter 260: Leaderboard Full Of Kings Of Competition
Yu Jiang’s teammates resolved the Red Vengeful Spirit while Blue Umbrella and their group were forced to tank the damage.
In the time it took to speak, several people stood beside Yu Jiang, and a notification popped up on the public screen.
[Player ‘X’ has killed ‘Doomsday Wraith’]
The red monster name hung above, very eye-catching.
This wasn’t an instance; only one person could get the kill announcement for a monster kill.
The Shi Xu mission required killing the Red Vengeful Spirit. As for the first kill announcement reward, it went to the remaining few people in the team, and he also gave each one a scratch card dropped from grinding monsters.
“It’s X!” Misty Mushroom exclaimed, her excited gaze sweeping back and forth over Yu Jiang and the others,
“Is The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain here too? Which one is it?! I’ve admired you for a long time, First Poison Master!”
Jiu Ge lowered her voice and said irritably, “You were squatting there singing, didn’t you see the skill weapon in her hand, with those long spikes on it.”
Besides Poison Master, what other profession could use such a weapon.
Besides The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain, who else could command this group.
Misty Mushroom’s eyes widened in surprise, forgetting that it was just now Yu Jiang who had pulled the monster’s aggro into their team, her face full of admiration for seeing the number one professional.
This was the commander who had taken the instance first kill with four people; Misty Mushroom felt a sense of pride by association.
Only Poison Masters knew how hard it was for them to develop.
Attack couldn’t match burst output professions, nor stationary shooters; healing skills were poor, and alchemy success rate was low.
Healers could stack defense, but stacking defense for them was a dead end; early skills lacked damage and needed attack value to make up for it,
yet their base stats were poor, and improving them was extremely difficult.
She not only rushed into the top ten on the combat power ranking, but her alchemy was also first in the whole server; she was truly impressive.
“Sis, can we add each other as friends?” Misty Mushroom excitedly clenched her hands.
“Sure.” Yu Jiang readily agreed; she was just worrying about having no channel to get profession intelligence.
Misty Mushroom, now added as a friend, thought the same: the information in the hands of the road’s first Poison Master was surely valuable.
“Did that wraith just now follow you guys?” Yu Jiang looked at Blue Umbrella.
“We were grinding monsters on the road, about 200 meters outside the service area, saw it wandering on the road, then emergency braked and sent a message reminder.”
Blue Umbrella tugged at the corner of his mouth, “I had no reason to deliberately pull the monster into the service area; if it hadn’t entered the service area, tonight’s kill announcement and rewards should have been ours.”
Yu Jiang didn’t doubt his words; his team had the strength to kill the Red Vengeful Spirit.
It was just that they were also grinding monsters on the road at night; good kid, everyone on the combat power ranking was a King of Competition.
There were more than two hours until dawn; no one planned to leave the service area, just rest for a bit.
The earlier battle was so intense that the vehicles inevitably took some damage.
Yu Jiang checked once; her vehicle only lost its shield, which was much better than the several nearby vehicles with burst tires and shattered glass.
The players staying in the service area to watch, of course, also saw the Red Vengeful Spirit get taken down and knew Yu Jiang and her group were not to be trifled with, so they were all exceptionally quiet.
Some people mustered courage to approach and get friendly, wanting to add friends and travel the road together afterward.
Being able to follow a strong team and freeload kill rewards from behind was good too.
“Our team is full on carrying people, sorry.” Purple Butt Can Do It sighed, his face full of helplessness as he refused.
It wasn’t unwillingness to help players through the urban parallel road, but the situation here was special; mixing strangers into the team meant their position was completely exposed.
Before server merge it was fine, but after server merge it was a mix of fish and dragons; who knew what the other party was, and if they sold their info, plenty of people were eyeing merchant caravans and ranking players.
It wasn’t like nothing had happened before; teams carrying people for money had brought spies sent by other teams.
In the end, inside and outside colluded and beat the carrying team.
This had happened several times, so many combat power teams no longer carried stranger players.
If Sister Jiang wanted to fish for black eat black, she could still bring a few stranger players and test luck, but right now, the team’s main force needed rest.
Thinking this, Purple Butt Can Do It closed the car window, no longer tangling with the people outside.
Yu Jiang returned to the RV, took off the damage reduction T-shirt that was dirty beyond recognition, threw it alone into the washing machine to wash and dry, then crashed on the first-floor sofa bed and slept.
She’d scratch the scratch cards when getting up in the morning; too tired, shoulders ached, back ached; tomorrow she planned to splurge and use autopilot.
The other teammates: Lightning Mage King’s cat car also got an automatic driving component card; the rest had to rely on Qi Replenishing Drinks to stay alert.
This service area had a maximum stay of 24 hours; they could depart late in the morning, rest more, and save consuming one or two bottles of Qi Replenishing Drinks.
Except for the night watch teammates, everyone hurried to rest.
Outside, other team players were repairing vehicles, rummaging the battlefield, picking up useful things, making noise.
The RV had good soundproofing; Yu Jiang basically couldn’t hear; when she woke, it was already past 9 a.m.
Outside was bright sunshine; the service area that had experienced a major battle was littered everywhere with scattered vehicle fragments.
The people killed by the wraith in the early morning, their corpses had already disappeared, leaving only dried black bloodstains.
Several vehicles were crookedly toppled to the side; useful things on the ground had long been picked up by people.
Another scavenger had also sneaked around in the chaos to recover some materials; he probably wasn’t high enough level, with quite a few things he couldn’t recover.
He couldn’t recover them, but Yu Jiang could.
Taking advantage of no one noticing, she knocked off the still fairly complete vehicle skeleton and aluminum alloy bumper by the wall; those scattered fragments had no value, so Yu Jiang didn’t take them.
Blue Umbrella’s team hadn’t departed yet either; Wholesale King Wang Defa said they also planned to leave late and had bought some Qi Replenishing Drinks from the merchant caravan; this was the rhythm of continuing to grind tonight.
“I’ll go out tonight to grind missions again.” Shi Xu also said.
He had just used a prop card to trade with the merchant caravan for an automatic driving component card, meaning he wanted to rest during the day too.
Han Jiang Gu Ying was holding fried noodles, and in the gaps of wolfing them down said, “I share no common ground with you Kings of Competition; take me along, big shot, I want to improve too.”
Shi Xu didn’t agree immediately and first looked at Yu Jiang.
“I’ll guard the camp today.” Yu Jiang nodded.
Shi Xu had a mission; he could go out alone; last night Han Jiang Gu Ying had guarded the camp, today she would do it.
There were monsters around the camp that could be grinded too.
Yu Jiang drank iced soy milk, sent the arrows obtained yesterday to Kuang Kuang Kuang, and attached a message in the team channel: “See if you can use them.”
Kuang Kuang Kuang received the things and quickly sent a thank-you sticker pack,
“Aaaah! Captain Jiang, where’d you get such good stuff, I can use it! I’ll send you some batteries!”
Yu Jiang: “Sure, robbed from black eat black yesterday, and this ‘Damage Reduction T-Shirt’.”
Hand Holding Cleaver Chopping Wire: “Holy crap! Damage reduction gear this high, how rich was the other side.”
Everyone have a happy holiday~
