My Disciples are Too Idiotic-Chapter 426 - 295: Game Bug? No, It’s Giving You a Little Hope! (Ask for Monthly Tickets)_2
"10,000 RMB! Whoever challenges me, I’ll transfer the money to them right away!"
"We can meet offline! Choose me as your little sister, and I’ll hop on a plane after logging off to find my big brother—guaranteed to satisfy!"
"..."
At this moment, Veteran Players with less than One Thousand Contribution Points went into a frenzy. One by one, they began to let Fifth Test Players choose them, clearly blinded by the Task Rewards.
Not all Fifth Test Players wanted a large number of Contribution Points. Especially for Life Players, they were here to experience the game; fighting wasn’t their top priority. So, having too many Contribution Points was of little use to them; it was better to do someone a favor instead.
Soon, this Task utterly degenerated. What was originally a challenge had now become a trade between players, with contacts being made everywhere. Of course, those players offering Contribution Points were all connected to the more credible Veteran Players.
The Three Great Merchants also profited greatly. Their reputation in the game went without saying, and most Fifth Test Players chose them.
Those players who opted for the combat path all challenged Antarctic. And Antarctic, as expected, conceded every challenge.
What was expected to take a full day’s progress took only a morning, and more than ten thousand players got what they wanted.
Seeing this, Xu Nian didn’t waste words. Instead, he immediately released the next exploration Task—first and foremost, the situation in this Mountain Range needed to be clarified. In this unknown world, everything was filled with unpredictability, so making an early choice was crucial.
[Task: Slay Nightmares.]
[Introduction: In the Mountain Range where the Profound Yellow Sect is located, there are numerous unknown dangers lurking. To ensure the safety of the Profound Yellow Sect, these dangers must be cleared out as soon as possible.]
[Objective: Kill 100 Nightmares.]
[Time Limit: None.]
[Reward: Dependent on the Host’s completion.]
[Note: The Host may delegate the Task to the disciples, freely assigning sub-tasks; rewards are limited to Contribution Points and cannot exceed One Thousand Contribution Points per player for this Task.]
Here it comes!
The System’s Large Task had finally arrived. Xu Nian looked at this new Task, a smile appearing on his face.
In the Map given by the System, other than the location of the Profound Yellow Sect, all other areas were grayed out. And in this Mountain Range, only the Profound Yellow Sect was displayed. He guessed there might be terrifying beings unknown to him here, but he wasn’t sure what exactly. Now, the System’s prompt clearly indicated that Nightmares weren’t the only creatures in this Mountain Range. As for what these Nightmares were, he wasn’t entirely sure.
However, he still assigned the Task to the players, as such matters were best handled by them. He just needed to follow along and observe.
The next moment, the players received the new Task from the System, all of them brimming with fighting spirit.
"It’s here, the new Task is here! What on earth is a Nightmare?"
"It looks like we’re supposed to kill this type of monster this time. Is anybody teaming up? Let’s share the Contribution Points equally!"
"Looking for a team! Are there any Veteran Players leading?"
"A Task Reward of One Thousand Contribution Points! There should be additional rewards for killing Nightmares, right?"
"..."
The players rubbed their hands in excitement, preparing to follow Xu Nian to confront these so-called Nightmares. Seeing that they were all ready, Xu Nian didn’t waste time and led them deeper into the Mountain Range.
Beyond the mountain peak they occupied, the entire Mountain Range was shrouded in gray mist. No one knew what dangers lurked inside. The players were old hands by now and didn’t care about danger at all. Hadn’t they experienced enough dangers already? Besides, even if they died in the game, the Contribution Points in their hands were enough to afford several Resurrections. Participating in the Task meant profit, so they didn’t feel like they were losing out!
As the team ventured deeper, a black mass appeared before them in the fog. This was the Nightmare. Its body was composed of black mist, with a pitch-dark, fist-sized core at its center—seemingly the Nightmare’s life core. The Nightmare hovered in mid-air, motionless, as if it wouldn’t attack unless someone entered its attack range.
Xu Nian and the players stopped. He turned his head and said, "This is your target, the Nightmare."
The players gazed at the black mass, their eyes gleaming.
"First Kill is mine!"
At that moment, a Fifth Test Player suddenly dashed out, unleashing the power of the Tribulation Realm, raising his fist and charging toward the Nightmare. Seeing his action, the rest of the Fifth Test Players also grew restless.
However, the Veteran Players just stood in place, enjoying the spectacle.
"Hmph, this guy’s actions seem familiar. I feel like I’ve seen this somewhere before."
"I see our past ignorance in him. With every version update, there always seems to be some greenhorn rushing to their death."
"Charging in without even figuring out the monster’s abilities? This guy’s got guts!"
"Alright, let’s observe a moment of silence for him. He should be back in about three minutes."
"..."
Even Xu Nian couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Why are there always such Sand Carving Players? Can’t they just coordinate? The Veteran Players haven’t even made a move. How could a Newbie Player like him get the First Kill?
Sure enough, this Newbie Player didn’t disappoint. The moment he stepped into the Nightmare’s attack range, the Nightmare suddenly launched an attack. A large mass of black mist swept over, and in the blink of an eye, it entered the player’s body. Under the watchful eyes of the other players, the Nightmare simply passed through the player’s body and then hovered back in mid-air.
The player’s body turned black from the inside out. He fell straight down, then turned into a cloud of black mist on the ground and disappeared.
This scene stunned all the players.
"What the hell is this thing? A Tribulation Realm player got instantly killed?"
"Is this thing a mob? It feels as strong as a Boss!"
"No way! It just passed through him, and the player died? Didn’t even have a chance to fight back?"
"We can confirm this Nightmare is very fast. Other attributes will require more testing."
"..."
At this moment, the Fifth Test Players also calmed down. They were not fools. Someone had already scouted the path for them, and they weren’t about to foolishly rush to their deaths. What was the point of wasting Contribution Points for nothing? Making a plan was the best approach.
Just then, a breeze blew by, increasing in strength. As they all turned their heads, they saw Old Mo using Wind Escape to dissipate the eerie gray mist. As the gray mist dispersed, the scenery of this region came into their view.
"Fog Grass!" someone suddenly shouted.
All the players fell into a dead silence. Before them, in this dilapidated region, numerous Nightmares floated in mid-air like black lanterns, emitting eerie black smoke.
Seeing so many Nightmares, all the players felt a chill run down their spines. Have we stumbled into the Nightmares’ den?
Though the Task was to kill one hundred Nightmares, there looked to be three or four hundred of them here. Many were clustered closely together. If they approached, they would likely be swarmed.
Even Xu Nian hadn’t expected there to be so many Nightmares here. He thought, It’s a relief they don’t actively attack nearby creatures, making them quite orderly monsters. But with so many of them, how are the players supposed to deal with this? Judging from that last Nightmare’s attack, these monsters seem immune to physical attacks. That will greatly weaken the players’ combat effectiveness.
Junlin stared at the Nightmare at the forefront and said in a deep voice, "Da Lang, please put on your Equipment and test the waters. I’ll cover the Contribution Points for your Reincarnation!"
To understand the Nightmare’s attack methods now, a player had to step forward. Sending in ordinary players would just be sending them to their deaths. The best choice now was to send a Veteran Player, specifically a Tank.
Therefore, Da Lang doesn’t drink medicine was the undisputed choice!
