Chapter 267: Others Team Up While You Solo
“Let’s rest well today and continue looking for Challenge Instances tomorrow, how about that?” Yu Jiang smiled and looked at her teammates,
“At this pace, the Supplies points for ingredients and water should be the hotel, medicinal herbs are the hospital, materials for manufacturing ammunition weapons/traps are the factory, crystal coins are the office building.”
Sixth Brother Blacksmith and Han Jiang Gu Ying need materials, they’re conveniently in one team, they’ll definitely challenge if they encounter it.
Yu Jiang still hoped to encounter the hotel and hospital, a player can enter Challenge Instances up to three times a day.
But most people after clearing once basically have no energy for the next one.
Especially for players who can’t open Supplies points and can’t pick up much stuff, using Qi Replenishing Drinks to recover stamina, plus the medicine consumed, it really might not be worth it.
Players who need to rely on skills to clear have cooldown times that prevent them from doing another instance.
Yu Jiang’s Team also finds it hard to max them out, they need to save some strength and skills to handle dangers on the road.
Not long ago in the swamp, food consumption was quite high, that place really had nothing to pick up.
“I have no objections.” Shi Xu spoke up.
The remaining teammates nodded one after another, everyone was covered in zombie blood, sweat soaked their backs, their faces slightly fatigued, but their eyes were full of longing for supplies.
Even the merchant with relatively weak stamina and combat power was the same, dying to go to the next place right now, immediately.
In 2 hours, get this much supplies, and this kind of Supplies point has no Boss, much easier than Instance Missions, worth fighting for supplies!
Yu Jiang had previously considered scouting a path first, then charging more to carry more people through.
Now this is pure challenge to take the Supplies warehouse style, too many people makes supplies distribution troublesome.
Charging for supplies distribution, those with self-protection ability, 100 crystal coins per person.
Their team already has 10 people, some Challenge Instance maps are a bit larger and can fit 15 people.
Full count is only 500 crystal coins revenue.
Players without combat power, market price 200 crystal coins, but then her team would have to spend more energy looking after the boss, which would definitely affect picking up supplies progress.
For teams that can’t pick up much supplies in time, charging to carry people is worth it, but for Yu Jiang, maintaining the status quo is better.
It always feels like the urban area road Challenge points are the system giving players a chance to practice and get survival supplies.
Clearing isn’t hard, but getting the Supplies point is a bit difficult, can’t play without teaming up.
Lone wolf players can enter alone, but one person can’t beat them.
Shi Xu, Cleaver Brother, Life is Like a Play, such players with extremely high output can fight, but while fighting monsters, they can’t pick up supplies.
Busting their asses for two hours, just for the base reward of 50 crystal coins?
Seeing supplies but not getting them, for Yu Jiang, it’s as painful as stabbing her twice, simply too agonizing.
Even if they can get an Achievement, challenging once is enough.
Thinking of the Achievement, Yu Jiang looked at Shi Xu, “Shall we give it a try? Take a gamble.”
Solo clearing a challenge doesn’t necessarily give an Achievement, might just be for nothing.
“Sure.” Shi Xu raised an eyebrow.
The teammates nearby looked at Yu Jiang then at Shi Xu: They’re crazy, they’ve gone insane from doing instances! They’re really going to challenge alone.
Say go and they went, Yu Jiang and Shi Xu each found a Challenge Instance to enter, tonight’s night watch handed to teammates, tomorrow rest enough then set off.
As long as they complete the challenge, it can offset the Mileage Task, consecutively challenging 5 small instances directly offsets weekly mileage.
With this good deal, who can still drive calmly.
Need to enter another Challenge Instance, Yu Jiang didn’t even change her dirty clothes, cleared out grids, brought the damage reduction T-shirt just in case, checked the supplies needed, the convoy went full speed ahead.
After getting Supplies points, she didn’t even want to search roadside abandoned houses.
When people get rich, the first thing they do is forget their roots, too real.
Urban area Challenge Instances are plentiful, not hard to find, at 4:50 PM, Yu Jiang alone drove the vehicle into the office building Challenge point.
Shi Xu was also not far ahead, entering the subway station.
Both Challenge points visible on the map, Yu Jiang picked the office building first, so Shi Xu went to the remaining one.
Subway station space relatively enclosed, not good for pulling monsters, while Yu Jiang has Area of Effect Skill, more suited to maps with better visibility.
Shi Xu has profession talent, in the dim subway, can see clearer than average people, and can sense movement in the darkness.
Remaining team members parked to rest, reconvene in 2 hours.
“There’s a small office building there, Sister Fugui, shall we two go in and try?” Purple Butt Can Do It pondered for a while before speaking.
Following the team and going solo are completely different, with a team he’s confident there’s backup, but acting alone he’d be nervous, panicked, afraid of being surrounded by monsters.
He wanted to try, quitting early is just 100 crystal coins, last as long as he can.
“Looks good, let’s go!” Wholesale Wang Defa waved her hand, the two got in the car very quickly.
Really stepping on the gas, arriving at the Challenge Instance entrance, still very nervous inside.
They were really scared, what if quitting too late, then they’re done for, with so many supplies in hand, cherishing life is normal.
The two took a deep breath, hands trembling a bit nervously when clicking confirm, until entering the instance, hearing the monsters’ roars throughout the building, the danger before them left no time for anxiety, their minds only had:
To Succeed, First Go Crazy, charge forward regardless!
On the other side, Yu Jiang who entered the office building alone had a similar mental state.
26-story building, elevator long broken, right ahead is the intersection, the street full of abandoned vehicles stretching endlessly.
So many abandoned vehicles, yet she had no time to smash them all, her heart aching with each beat.
She only smashed a few hammers, at first just a few scattered zombies spotted her and ran toward her.
Yu Jiang thought it was no big deal, get some supplies first then fight, but not even half a minute later, a huge wave of zombies came charging, vast and mighty, the scene extremely shocking, their roars like saying, charge, time to eat!
When the zombie horde at the intersection rushed up, within attack range, she put away the crowbar, threw a poison mist, and bolted.
This couldn’t be fought, the first few berserk zombies slapped the obstructing car doors of abandoned vehicles right off.
They were like surging waves, instantly overwhelming the cars filling the street, the companions underneath trampled into meat paste.
Poison mist useless on zombies, Yu Jiang had skill weapon in hand, debuff couldn’t be applied to zombies either, attack inferior to bayonet, better used as rope tool.
Yu Jiang dashed up the stairs, with speed prop card boost, her speed not slow, some floors had things blocking behind fire doors, zombie roars coming from inside.
Others locked with chains, she was alone, impossible to smash doors then go in for supplies.
Blocked by zombies in some narrow room, no sense of security even thinking about it, the floor-to-ceiling windows in the building all shattered, zombies outside that can climb walls, this height they can reach.
Alone, she needed an easy to defend hard to attack spot, she planned to go to the rooftop.
Stairs space limited, every floor up, a large group of zombies would get stuck in the middle by themselves.
Stampede accidents one squeezing the next, none could get out, while Yu Jiang could use rope to climb down a few floors, also a backup route.
