Chapter 411: After Losing Weight, You All Love Me (23)

Chapter 411: After Losing Weight, Everyone Loves Me (23)

That accurate?

After the BOSS's ultimate move, Xing Zhe came out unscathed!

He was even a little stunned!

Just luck?

While pondering, that moron Bei Zhichun spoke first, "Not bad, what a lucky shot!"

"Saved the healer."

He attributed Tang Qing’s move to sheer luck, and Tang Qing didn’t elaborate.

As the dungeon progressed, Xing Zhe started low-key watching the ID "Yi A Ya."

"Bei Zhichun" was recklessly charging ahead with flashy but inefficient attacks, while Tang Qing followed behind him, looking like she was just casually strolling.

Yet Xing Zhe noticed something off!

Tang Qing was definitely not a complete newbie!

At the very least... her positioning was sharp. Aside from the few waves of minions Bei Zhichun purposely missed, within the remaining field of vision, Tang Qing always managed to cleverly avoid the attacks of the lesser enemies!

Moreover, her movement path each time followed the most stamina-efficient route...

This kind of game sense was very similar to that of his own healer class.

Squishy healers, whose stamina bar drains super fast.

All top-tier healers subconsciously conserve stamina, often choosing the most stamina-efficient paths for movement...

This matched up perfectly with Tang Qing’s approach.

Had she... played as a healer before?

Just as he was thinking this, the frontliner "Bei Zhichun" had already begun unleashing violent attacks on the final boss!

One dazzling ultimate move after another, the battle kicked into high gear!

"Drummer!"

"Heal me!"

"Hurry!"

Xing Zhe immediately snapped back to focus!

A "Healing Light" was instantly cast on Bei Zhichun!

Saving Han Chang from near death!

"Quick, quick, one wave after another!"

Han Chang was the team’s primary DPS, and at a moment like this, there was no time to waste—he charged forward again!

However...

After all, the synergy between Han Chang and Xing Zhe still wasn't as smooth as it used to be with Tang Qing.

Both are top-tier healers, but Tang Qing's healing ticks always came at just the right moment.

Although Xing Zhe's heals were timely, they were always off by a few ticks...

In this boss round, Han Chang clearly noticed that he was in critical, one-hit territory many times!

The more he fought, the more he had to play it safe!

By the time the boss was channeling its big move, Han Chang was again at a sliver of health!

It all came down to those last few ticks!

No one expected Han Chang to bail!

A DPS, at a critical moment, not only pulled his ult but also...

"Bei Zhichun" even backpedaled!

What a joke!

At a time like this, you're not going in?

The rest of the team was dumbstruck!

Damn, is "Bei Zhichun" malfunctioning today?

Literally just one auto-attack away from taking down the boss, and you run?

That scared to wipe?

Just as the others were about to curse out loud—

Due to how the fight was set up, everyone except "Bei Zhichun" was on cooldown!

And they were all too far from the boss to even get an auto off!

The boss was about to enrage!

The entire team felt hopeless!

Once it enraged and let its ult rip, even if "Explosive Drummer" had eight hands total, he couldn’t save them!

"【Bei Zhichun】!"

"You fucking—"

In the team channel, the rage was already pouring through comms!

At the critical moment—

It was actually "Yi A Ya"!

That paper-thin loli toon, just happened—

to plant herself right in front of the boss!

Clutch play!

An absolute clutch kill!

The squishy loli character, who had zero damage throughout the entire match, delivered a brilliant basic attack at the most critical moment!

"My blade shines! Cutting through all clutter!"

A seemingly ordinary arc of light flashed by, just as the boss's cast timer reached its final second!

The crimson aura had no time to spread further before the boss collapsed!

"Holy shit!"

"Holy shit!"

"That basic attack was fucking godly!"

Who would have thought!

The boss in the new dungeon was so tanky and had such fast health regen!

The top damage-dealer in the team, Bei Zhichun, actually fumbled at the crucial moment!

He fumbled, and that was bad enough!

But in the end, it was the seemingly unremarkable "beautiful trash" who saved the day!

In an instant, the image of "Yiya," who had been playing casually before, instantly became towering!

[Jianbing Gouzi]: "Warrior! I bow to you!"

[Avengers Not Alliance]: "Basic attack technique is just too good!"

[Invisible Chicken Wings]: "Saved my ass! Top-tier skill! Absolutely top-tier!"

Amid the background sound of the game's completion screen, the team chat exploded!

Even the usually quiet [Zhangjie Rimu] praised in the channel: "That was impressive."

[Jianbing Gouzi]: "More than just impressive! I'd already accepted we'd wipe! Hey! Guess what! I, Hu Hansan (a reference to a classic character), survived!"

[Avengers Not Alliance]: "Top-tier execution! Top-tier positioning! Top-tier awareness!"

Even the hot-tempered Xing Zhe spoke up, "Not bad."

Amid all this joyful congratulation, only Han Chang couldn't hold back his salty comments:

"All that health was chipped away earlier..."

"You came at just the right time..."

Implied meaning: If we cleared, we still owe thanks to him.

[Invisible Chicken Wings]: "Of course it was just the right time! Who was it again that suddenly pulled back from engaging for no reason?"

[Jianbing Gouzi]: "Scared to die, that's who!"

[Avengers Not Alliance]: "Probably wanted to take everyone down with him!"

Han Chang was surprised that one comment had pissed off so many teammates. And just then, the guild leader, "Zhangjie Rimu," also spoke up:

"Your performance just now was pretty amateur."

"Come see me after this is over."

This is clearly where she's gonna hold me accountable!

Han Chang immediately shut his mouth!

When it was time to open the loot box, Tang Qing's character moved forward on its own.

The most anticipated moment had arrived! Unsurprisingly, everyone in the team held their breath!

【Pancake Dog】: "It's the first clear after all, the loot should be pretty good, right?"

【Avengers Don’t Alliance】: "Could you not jinx us like that?"

Right after they said that—

In an instant—

The screen flashed with bright light!

"Congratulations to the Maple Blue Alliance team for obtaining the S-tier drop, the Exquisite Pagoda! The treasure pagoda protects all directions, cleansing evil from the world!"

Along with the game notification, a golden, glowing Exquisite Pagoda appeared on the screen!

It had seven floors!

According to the game's description, each rotating floor represented a different game buff.

Though its duration was short, its effects were totally OP, consistently ranking among the top divine items in the game!

So far, only two Exquisite Pagodas had ever dropped!

This dungeon run dropped the third one!

"No fucking way!"

"An S-tier Exquisite Pagoda? Are my eyes messing with me?"

The whole team was completely speechless!

They had thought even a B-tier would've been solid—at least the run wouldn't be a total waste…

An A-tier would’ve been something to be fucking stoked about!

An S-tier item like this was not even something they dreamed about!

And we actually got it to drop?
