Chapter 67

Yang Ye smiled bitterly. He really didn't want to have much contact with Siyu. This woman was definitely not someone to be trifled with; she was very shrewd.

However, since she had sent a message and specifically asked for Yang Ye's help, he couldn't refuse...

"Where are you? Can I come?" Yang Ye asked.

After a long while, a reply finally came: "Peach is too useless. I asked him to help, but he failed three times. Promise, come quickly. Coordinates: 264655:785455:22. Hurry up."

"Alright, I'm on my way..."

Sighing helplessly, Yang Ye entered the coordinates into the map, locked the direction, and sprinted forward at full speed.

The closer he got, the more puzzled Yang Ye became. The coordinates Siyu provided were very close to Dragon City, just on its outskirts. However, upon arriving at the destination, he found no teleportation array or anything similar.

"I'm here, where are you?"

"Oh, wait, I'll kick Peach out and add you in..." Siyu replied, then fell silent.

After a while, the space in front of Yang Ye suddenly trembled, and a gap opened up. A figure tumbled out onto the ground—it was Peach.

"Ah, spit, spit! Chen Yujia, am I still your brother?! Is this necessary? Can we still be siblings?" Peach quickly got up from the ground and started cursing at the rift.

However, there was no response from the other side. At that moment, Yang Ye received a system notification:

[System: Siyu invites you to join her team. Do you agree?]

Of course, he agreed.

After accepting the team invitation, Siyu immediately spoke in the team channel: "Promise, ignore that guy. He's too stupid. Just come through the teleportation array."

Yang Ye glanced at Siyu's message and silently mourned Peach's twenty years as a brother. Then, with a calm expression, he walked over to Peach.

"Peach!" Yang Ye called out, startling Peach, who was still angry.

"Scared, Promise? How... Damn, I knew why Chen Yujia suddenly kicked me out. It's you! Alright, I'll go." Peach said, giving Yang Ye a deep look. The message in his eyes was clear: Take care!

Is it that terrifying? Weren't things fine before?

Nodding, Yang Ye stepped directly into the array and instantly found himself in another world. The array behind him disappeared after both he and Lilianna entered.

The scenery before him was breathtaking. It seemed like a tropical rainforest, with towering trees that blocked out the sky. Through the gaps in the leaves, the clear blue sky was visible. The flowers were of various colors, and some small plants had grown to the height of two or three people. A small stream flowed beneath them, its water clear to the bottom, with fallen leaves and petals floating on the surface. Countless birds and insects filled the air with a symphony of sounds.

A scene full of vitality!

"Hey, what are you doing? Come over! The middle path." A message brought Yang Ye back from his enjoyment.

Path? Yang Ye focused his gaze and indeed saw a long, narrow path in the middle, hidden by vegetation. It was hard to notice if you didn't look closely! Stepping into it, he first felt a cool sensation, followed by the fresh scent of grass and flowers. As he moved forward, the light gradually dimmed, making it feel a bit cold. However, the occasional bright petals falling through the gaps in the vegetation brought a sense of warmth. Stepping out of the path, he saw a large circular area in the middle, completely barren, with withered yellow earth. A withering aura spread out in a circle, and the closer to the center, the more withered the plants and trees were. In the very center stood a yellow rock monster, like an iron tower, emitting the withering aura.

Siyu was crouching near the monster, restoring her mana while watching Yang Ye.

Yang Ye had been staring at her for a while, having been admiring the scenery... Feeling a bit embarrassed, he ran to Siyu: "What's wrong? Can't pass?"

Looking at Yang Ye calmly, Siyu said, "No, can't pass. The scenery here is nice, right? It made you linger. Is the BOSS prettier than me?"

"Uh... No, you're prettier, definitely you! I was just shocked by this place... Let's talk about the BOSS."

Seeing Yang Ye's embarrassment, Siyu smiled and said, "This BOSS is a bit troublesome, so I had to find you, a tank with a lot of HP."

"Tell me more."

"The BOSS has three skills: a large-area weakening that halves healing effects and speeds up its own recovery. This thing heals pretty fast. Next is a throwing skill that grabs and throws people, then it attacks the remaining one. This skill can't be dodged. Lastly, it has a defensive boost that significantly increases its defense." Siyu quickly explained the BOSS's attributes, which were mostly her guesses. However, what she saw through Yang Ye's miner's helmet was pretty accurate—

Wrath Messenger - Burton (BOSS - Gold Level)

Level: 35

HP: 650,000/650,000

...

(Other details omitted.)

(Hidden: Drop: Saint Spirit Dancer Job Change Proof (Guaranteed Drop))

"Defeating this BOSS will let you change jobs, right?" Yang Ye asked.

"Just this one left. It will drop a proof, and with it, you can change jobs." Siyu replied.

"Alright, let's start." Yang Ye said.

After Siyu cast a Life Hymn on him, he charged forward.

"Never shall this land of joy be taken from me, Burton!" Burton roared as soon as he was attacked, and a massive rock hand reached out toward Yang Ye.

"Promise, be careful, it's the throwing skill." Siyu warned.

Yang Ye knew this; the miner's helmet warned him faster than Siyu. However, he wanted to test the damage and the throwing distance.

"Slap!" The giant hand grabbed Yang Ye and threw him in a curved trajectory—

Thrown high but not far!

There was damage too, losing over 5,000 HP. No wonder Peach couldn't handle it. The task designer must have increased the damage significantly, considering the presence of a healer.

+1722!

Two heals only restored a small portion of Yang Ye's HP. Siyu was annoyed: "Promise, what's wrong with your skills? You're worse than Peach."

Yang Ye dashed back to the BOSS's feet and smiled, "I'm testing the damage and distance. Don't worry, we haven't started yet, no rush." He wasn't worried, but the BOSS was. The little ant that was just thrown away came back instantly, which was quite annoying!

"You shall not use the power of nature to heal your pitiful life!"

"Life Wither!" This was the weakening skill, affecting a wide area.

"Healing is halved, Promise, be careful. Don't get hit; even with your high HP, I can't keep up." Siyu reminded him again.

"Got it. Don't worry, we have two tanks. Lilianna is also very strong, right, Lilianna?"

"Lilianna, the strongest!~~" Lilianna, hearing Yang Ye's praise, shouted happily, "Gold, gold!!" and continued.

"Damn, no!!" Yang Ye covered himself, afraid of being robbed. His life was tough now, and he couldn't afford to lose anything. However, seeing Lilianna's sad face, he couldn't bear to give her a few gold coins, and she kissed his cheek.

Siyu facepalmed, unable to bear the sight.

Although the BOSS's weakening skill was strong, it wasn't a big deal as long as he didn't hit you. Rock giants, or any other giants, were known for their slow and clumsy attacks. The only unavoidable skill was the throwing one.

Thus, there was nothing to fear. It would take two throws to kill you, but the BOSS couldn't throw twice in quick succession.

The only challenging part was when the weakening and defensive boost were stacked. The BOSS would heal quickly and have high defense, making it frustrating.

However, with patience, it would eventually die...

Yang Ye struggled to wear down the BOSS. Outside his shop, time passed, and the players watching the spectacle grew restless. Although they had heard from the forum that "First Shop" had a large supply of Life Bud potions, the truth of the information was uncertain.

What surprised the players even more was that the owner of "First Shop" had taken down the only 30 bottles of Life Bud potions and the enchanted equipment... This was unexpected, as it didn't match the script.

Where were the promised large quantities of low-priced Life Bud potions?

After waiting for a long time, the players returned to the original post to demand an explanation, causing the number of replies to surge.

However, no matter how much the players shouted, the Life Bud potions and enchanted equipment did not reappear. Even when someone directly called out to "Promise's Battle" in the world channel, there was no response.

Now, the players' concern was not whether there were large quantities of low-priced Life Bud potions, but whether there were any Life Bud potions at all...

Those who had used the potion said it was excellent.

After several hours, the Wrath Messenger was finally worn down to the last bit of HP, dropping the proof Siyu had been dreaming of, and the withered land began to recover.

"Alright, I'm going to turn in the quest. Promise, do you want to come with me?" Siyu giggled, waving the proof.

"No... I... I need to level up." Yang Ye said, not wanting to stick around if Siyu had any tricks up her sleeve.

"Alright, go ahead. I'll find you later." Siyu smiled, not holding him back.

Yang Ye fled, pulled out the map, and was about to find a good place to level up when he received a message from Peach—

"Da Yu Studio found a skilled player to cause trouble for your brothers. I'm here, coordinates 154542:445433:13. A tough player in the Chinese region of TTOS, hurry up."
