Chapter 114 – 113: “King of the Grass!
“Tuberculosis Rabbit, let’s go to a KTV and sing for a bit after we finish with the world boss,” Yancheng suggested.
“Ah, sure, no problem,” Tuberculosis Rabbit replied.
Amusement tinged Tuberculosis Rabbit’s expression as he gently urged the envious crowd around him with modest hand gestures, signaling them not to be too surprised—it was no big deal. Instinctively, he gave a noncommittal response.
Suddenly, it dawned on him that something was amiss. He turned to Yi, his bewilderment clear as he asked, “Yi? What are you talking about?”
“Go to a KTV to sing?”
“Don’t you see where we are right now? We are in the middle of fighting a world boss, and it’s almost your turn to take the stage. How could you suddenly think of going to sing?”
“Isn’t your train of thought jumping a bit too fast?”
“Felt like singing.”
Chen Yi stood calmly, leaning on his staff with an inscrutable expression, like a pine tree standing upright among the crowd.
“Oh, okay then,” Tuberculosis Rabbit finally said, stroking his nose contemplatively before dropping the subject.
He had known Yi for a very long time.
Without any exaggeration, no one knew Yi better than he did. Whenever Yi’s thoughts were in disarray, he liked to drag Tuberculosis Rabbit along to the KTV.
Then they would find seven or eight princesses.
But Yi neither sang songs nor frolicked with the princesses.
He would just sit on the sofa and quietly light a cigarette, leaning against the chair back, listening to the deafening music in the private room while drinking juice.
According to Yi, when ambient noise is loud, the brain subconsciously drifts into a state of emptiness, achieving a sense of tranquility.
Then, he would become the life of the party.
He was responsible for playing with the princesses and singing songs, keeping the atmosphere lively.
Yi must feel tired too, sometimes.
After all, Yi was in charge of decision-making, while he executed those decisions.
Which role came with more pressure was hard to say, but he felt it was probably Yi who was more worn out.
But where could they find a KTV now? If any KTVs were even open. Just recently, the owner of some KTV in Yancheng had approached them, but they had wiped them out.
Thinking about it now, it seemed a bit regrettable. They should’ve left it there.
He wasn’t sure if there were still any KTVs open in Yancheng. Princesses, undoubtedly, would be hard to find now.
Tuberculosis Rabbit shrugged and didn’t dwell on it any longer but continued to greet the people around him with a beaming smile and nodding acknowledgment.
Less than an hour had passed.
A notification sound rang in the ears of all the players.
“Ding! All world bosses in the boss spaces have been slain. All advancing players will proceed to the Second Layer World Boss Space.”
“Players who remain in the First Layer Boss Space will retain the rights to spectate and interact.”
“Players who have left the Boss Space will lose the rights to spectate.”
“The Second Layer World Boss Space features 27 zones, each accommodating 100 advancing players.”
“The top three damage dealers in the rankings of each Second Layer World Boss Space will advance to join 81 players in the Third Layer World Boss Space, facing off against the ultimate world boss!”
“Players who successfully clear the Second Layer World Boss Space will each receive a World Boss Gift Pack (Small) *1, 5000 Points, Level 1 Enhancement Stone *10, and a Protection Talisman *1.”
“Additionally, players will be awarded points corresponding to the damage they inflict, which can be spent in the World Boss Points Store after the event.”
“Players are now invited to take their places.”
Before Chen Yi could react, a flash of white light burst before his eyes and a sudden sensation of weightlessness made his feet feel unsteady. When his vision returned, he found himself already in the Second Layer World Boss Space. Discover more stories at empire
There were significantly fewer people around.
About only a hundred or so.
Unlike the players in the First Layer, who were loosely crowded together, players here stood with space between them. Interestingly, almost every player here had two or more titles floating above their head.
Many of these titles were unfamiliar to Chen Yi.
“Players from the First Layer World Boss Space will have the rights to spectate and the following interaction privileges!”
“1: Players can send bullet-screen comments directed to a specific boss space while spectating and can converse during the battle. These comments will only be visible to spectating players.”
“2: Players can send colored banner bullet-screen comments directed to a specific boss space while spectating. These comments will be visible to both spectating players and players in the Second Layer World Boss Space. Sending one costs 50 Points.”
Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye!
And the boss descended!
Chen Yi was in the number 18 Second Layer boss space.
A huge blue circle suddenly appeared in the air, and a Succubus dressed in a black bodysuit slowly descended from the circle, hovering in the air, black miasma swirling around her and a malevolent gaze sweeping over the surrounding players.
It was a female Succubus.
Her beauty was breathtaking,
the kind that makes one’s physical desires outweigh the urge to fight at first glance.
Only... she was extremely huge.
So large that one could only look up at her. If you stood close enough, you wouldn’t even be able to see her face when looking up, just two mountainous peaks.
This Succubus was over thirty meters tall, towering like a giant, looking down upon the players below.
Her chest boasted two alarmingly wide and prominent features, each several meters in diameter, which created a rather intimidating sight.
Her double ponytails fluttered in the wind behind her head.
The whole sight was somewhat discordant, as seeing double ponytails on a Succubus could inevitably feel somewhat indecent.
Before the players could even react,
the Succubus launched her attack, grabbing the two ponytails from behind her head and, like two black whips, she slammed them heavily into the group of players!
“Smack!”
The sound of impact was immediate!
With just one strike,
three players who were too slow to evade and had not yet reacted were immediately flattened on the spot.
Their bodies were nowhere to be found, only an indistinct pool of blood and flesh, like a crushed strawberry cake beneath a boot.
“Damn it!”
Many players, their faces filled with rage, rapidly retreated to the sides and shouted frantically, “This boss doesn’t have attack warnings!!! Everyone, be careful to dodge!!”
Clearly, this boss was more difficult than the First Layer World Boss!
Just the first strike had already resulted in the deaths of 3 players!
And these weren’t ordinary players; those who had advanced from the First Layer World Boss Space were among the cream of the crop in a million, put simply, some of the strongest people in the world.
In their respective cities, they were privileged individuals who stood at the very top.
Yet, even such figures were swatted down as easily as flies.
And the crowd also realized the difference between the Second Layer World Boss and the First Layer World Boss.
The First Layer World Boss’s attacks came with damage warning circles, a red circle would indicate where the boss would attack next, giving you enough time to escape the red zone beforehand.
If you weren’t in the circle, the boss couldn’t possibly hit you.
However, the Second Layer World Boss didn’t have this advantage, attacking randomly without any pattern. You had no idea what the boss’s next attack would be or its range!
You could only rely on prediction and extreme reflexes!
Inside World Boss Space number 18.
Many players who had previously been lighthearted and smiling now turned serious, their eyes firmly fixed on the boss, every move it made. It was clear to everyone that,
If they didn’t get serious,
they would die here.
