Chapter 34: The official historical record is about to be added to the archives?!
Fang Qi slipped aboard Talos's warship and found an inconspicuous spot in the cargo hold to rest.
After staying up for several days in a row, and having just eaten a full meal, I was so sleepy that the lid of the box was practically beating against itself.
As for the processing of those indices and materials, and mimicry evolution... let's talk about that tomorrow.
As is my usual practice, I glance at the forum before bed to see if there are any business opportunities.
The top post is a new one by Xiao Wolong:
"Feeding the young master milk, aided by the mysterious barrel! — First speedrun of the Gul'ja raid."
"This guy's even streaming?"
Fang Qi clicked on it and saw that the bucket was indeed referring to himself.
"That works too, I'll use it as a sleep aid before bed."
This was the first time he had ever watched a live stream of players running a dungeon, and he couldn't help but become interested.
The battle has now reached a crucial moment in its first phase.
"Quickly, focus fire on the officer at point A!" Du Ge shouted in the team voice chat.
What is point A?
Fang Qi carefully examined Xiao Wolong's perspective and discovered that the player had already marked eight points in the eight directions of the circular arena.
It should be a built-in system function.
Point A is due north, near the lake.
The raiding team executed their plan very well. Apart from the two tanks who had to pull the mobs, the remaining players instantly focused their fire on the murloc officer who was casting a spell.
Even the two healers were using basic attacks interspersed with healing, going all out on damage output.
The merman officer was named Bo'erbo. Fang Qi felt he looked familiar, so he stared at him for a couple more seconds and just then saw him casting a skill.
"Bulk wine?"
Judging from the way the soldiers around him are all holding cups... Is Bo Bo going to give the soldiers alcohol so they can all eat spicy food together?
Fang Qi laughed: "The system's real-time calculated replicas are indeed quite interesting."
"Quick, quick, off-tank, throw a grenade! Position 4, target that one!"
Point 4 is in the northwest direction, and Yu Yuan was just about to reach that area when he was kiting the monsters.
That commander is quite capable!
Snapped!
A blob of milk smeared on the merman officer's face, interrupting his casting.
"Switch targets, hit his balls, hit his balls!" The group quickly shifted their focus again.
The scene was chaotic, but nothing major went wrong, and the campaign quickly entered its second phase.
"When fighting opponents of a higher level, the damage output is still not enough," Fang Qi commented. "If it's the same level, we should be able to take them down while they're casting."
In the video, the background music changes, and cooked fish appears again.
This time it's the murloc priest guarding the warehouse, whose name is Babolba if I remember correctly.
Baboerba is very wealthy. As soon as he appeared, he picked up a wine jug and offered wine to his fishmen brothers.
The pioneering team wouldn't let it have its way. Instantly, two cans of milk paste were smeared on its face.
But Baboerba's alcohol tolerance wasn't very high, and he got quite drunk at this point.
The two cans of milk not only failed to wake it up, but also spoiled its enjoyment.
It immediately became displeased, its eyes widened, and it raised its coral staff to begin casting a group attack.
However, this is exactly what the players wanted. It's just a group attack, it won't kill anyone, so the healers just have to work hard!
Fang Qi finally understood.
The [Calm Grenade] that I sold became a key item in the dungeon, as it could interrupt the casting actions of mobs and elites.
"They seem to have bought about 40 cans from me?" he recalled.
"We used almost six cans in the first and second phases combined. This time we must have gone all out to try and get the first kill."
During the live broadcast, as the battle intensified, the battlefield suddenly became dark, and the background music became more rousing.
There seems to be a premonition: something big is coming.
Sure enough, after the red line warning, a tentacle slammed into the middle of the field.
The entire altar split in two from the middle.
A giant jellyfish head emerged from the lake, its blue tinged with red, and it looked exceptionally angry.
"Gulgar, in Berserk mode, level 45."
Four tentacles appeared in the north of the arena, and Gul'ga began casting:
"The Wrath of Blasphemy"
The game system's attack range warnings were crisscrossing and covered the entire arena, indicating that the players were about to face annihilation.
Fang Qi had played many games in his previous life, and he immediately recognized the boss's appearance.
The plan should be to focus fire on one or two tentacles, then find a safe location and gather everyone together.
However, the pioneering team was well prepared. They had carefully planned and were reluctant to lose milk, all for this moment!
"Feed it milk, feed it milk quickly!" The shouts rose and fell.
As the main character, Xiao Wolong, for the first time ever, stopped his stealthy attack and took out two bottles of iced mint milk.
Crackling sounds!
Bottles and jars flew towards the jellyfish's head, creating a comical and lively scene.
The comments section was buzzing with excitement, scrolling by incredibly fast.
The Tranquility Grenade only deals 1 point of forced damage, but it triggers a strange mechanism.
As the milk seeped into Gulga's translucent head, the red color began to fade, and its originally distorted face relaxed for a moment, seemingly letting out a sigh of "enjoyment."
At the same time, a brand new energy bar appears below the health bar:
"Spiciness level—Devilishly spicy!"
Four bottles of milk seeped into the jellyfish, reducing the energy bar: "Spiciness - Devilishly Spicy → Extra Spicy!"
Four more bottles hit the mark, and the extra spicy became medium spicy.
Gulgar's tentacles trembled, and the casting speed visibly slowed down. At the same time, his jellyfish head swayed leisurely, revealing a hint of comfort.
"It works, let's do another round!" Du Ge's voice came, and Xiao Wolong threw out another can without hesitation.
The crackling sound indicates that the spiciness has decreased from medium to mild.
The energy bar suddenly disappeared at that moment.
Gulga was thoroughly enjoying the iced mint milk when his tentacles twitched in unison, his whole body trembled, and he shuddered violently.
As the dark red capsaicin in its head faded, it actually stopped its attack.
The enemy's red health bar has turned yellow, representing neutral forces, and it looks like we can't win!
The pioneering team was baffled, but since their skills were missing targets and couldn't be used, they had no choice but to give up.
The live stream began playing animated cutscenes.
"It's over already?" Fang Qi felt a little abrupt, but wasn't too surprised.
During the few days he infiltrated the merfolk, he actually overheard some fragmented conversations about the merfolk gods.
It had nothing to do with eating, and he was too lazy to think about it.
However, now, combined with the player's cutscenes, I understand some things better.
The fishmen summoned the gods with the full power of their race, not to attack or seek revenge, but to protect themselves.
Their islands were invaded by the Talosha, an outside force, and their resources became increasingly scarce, leading to a sharp decline in their population.
Left with no other choice, they had to place their hopes on the gods, hoping to gain leverage in negotiations by demonstrating force.
They look rather pitiful.
However, the struggle between races and resources has always been like this, and Fang Qi did not want to express any opinion.
The plot is gradually coming to an end.
The adventurers brought back Gulgar's keepsake and handed it over to the admiral.
With their mediation, the merman priest and the captain of the guard sat down at the negotiating table and began to discuss peaceful coexistence.
Most notably, a miniature wine barrel figurine bearing the inscription "Ancient Magic Technology" was placed in the very center of the negotiating table, seemingly serving as a testament to the two races.
Black screen, end of story.
In that instant, Fang Qi suddenly felt a massive magical force locking onto him, rapidly approaching from an unknown place.
At the same time, the trading terminal was shaking violently.
