"Heavenly Eye!"
Ye Qiu threw out a Heavenly Eye.
Quickly, the giant's data appeared—
[Rare Tier BOSS—Deep Mountain Tiger Fiend
Level: 15
HP: 12,000
Skills: Tiger's Roar in the Forest, Poison Miasma Ground
Likes: All kinds of meat]
"It's this guy!"
Ye Qiu recalled.
In the past life, just after server opening, a major event happened in the game!
The "Tiger Fiend Apocalypse"!
One Level 15 Rare BOSS fought thousands of players alone!
In the end, the Deep Mountain Tiger Fiend was unharmed, while thousands of players died on Tiger Mountain!
No way around it.
Players were too low level.
Even tens of thousands of current-level players could not break the Tiger Fiend's defense!
At that time, Ye Qiu was in another Novice Village, so he didn't witness it, but saw the event explode on forums.
"Run!"
Ye Qiu sprinted.
He knew his limits.
Killing the Level 10 Giant Lynx King was only possible by knowing its weakness and terrain.
This "Deep Mountain Tiger Fiend" was a Rare Tier BOSS!
In the game, BOSS tiers ranked: Common BOSS, Rare Tier BOSS, Epic Tier BOSS, Legendary Tier BOSS!
Each tier was visibly stronger!
One Rare Tier BOSS equaled about 50 Common BOSS Giant Bobcat Monsters!
Including level differences, it was absurd!
Ye Qiu stayed on the outskirts of Tiger Mountain, like most onlookers, watching from afar.
He was fast due to high agility!
But others were not so lucky, especially those near the center, including Thousand-Faced Gentleman.
They could not escape!
The Deep Mountain Tiger Fiend used its skill [Tiger's Roar in the Forest]!
"Howl!!!"
A deafening roar.
All players instantly stiffened!
This was the tiger fiend's special sonic attack!
The attack was not very strong, but enough to kill all low-level players!
The skill's stun effect was the real threat!
Even same-tier players with low spirit attribute would be stunned!
Unable to move!
[Poison Miasma Ground]!
The tiger fiend used another skill.
Whoosh!
Next second, it sprayed deep purple gas from mouth and body.
"Ah!"
A player just recovering touched the gas, and screamed in pain!
"Damn!"
Thousand-Faced Gentleman was among them.
He cursed angrily, his body covered in sores, dying miserably on the spot!
The massacre lasted less than 10 minutes.
All over Tiger Mountain and surrounding areas, player corpses lay thickly.
Thousands was an understatement!
Mixed with dropped equipment, the area was densely littered!
Some players were even eaten on the spot!
Three or four at a time!
Crunch!
No one dared to pick up the dropped equipment.
Going there was suicide!
Soon, Thousand-Faced Gentleman and others revived, rushed back.
"My blue armor!"
"Thousand-Faced Gentleman, you're responsible for this!"
"I finally got to Level 1, now back to Level 0!"
"Compensation! Compensation!…"
Many recruited players demanded explanations from Thousand-Faced Gentleman.
He quickly reassured them: "Don't worry, deaths still count as paid. Damaged equipment will be compensated at market value!"
Immediately, "Thousand-Faced Gentleman is generous!"
"Rich bro rocks!"
"I'm following you from now on!"
Players' moods turned from despair to joy.
But Thousand-Faced Gentleman was heartbroken.
Not for money, early game stuff was cheap, money was nothing to him.
What hurt was dying once!
Losing lots of experience!
Dropping from Level 4 to Level 3!
He had to spend time catching up with players who had been on equal footing!
Onlookers who got caught up had to swallow their frustration!
No more watching the fun!
...
...
Back in the village, the sky had completely darkened.
At the village entrance, there was still a long queue.
It stretched as far as the eye could see.
Ye Qiu sighed, seeing his past self in these players.
In his past life, he was just like them, queuing for tasks, sometimes for hours!
Finally forced to become a casual player!
Ye Qiu took out the Timid War Cloak, wore it over his head, covering his face.
This Orange Epic equipment was still unidentified, so only normal clothing stats applied.
Then, under the amazed eyes of the queuing players, Ye Qiu stepped forward to Village Chief Uncle Xu, and asked first: "Uncle Xu, can you appraise items?"
Before Uncle Xu could speak, players in line laughed.
Some amused, some mocking.
Because the game rules stated: cutting in line would trigger divine punishment!
NPC favorability would greatly drop!
Then no more tasks!
Even meeting NPCs would get you kicked out!
There were many cases!
One mother and daughter duo, old and young, were removed from the game for repeatedly cutting line!
"This newbie just logged in, right?"
"Wait and see, Uncle Xu is about to scold him! If he doesn't leave, divine punishment will strike!"
"Divine punishment means death by lightning, same as being killed by monsters, losing experience and equipment. If Level 0, after three punishments, the account is deleted forever!"
No one warned Ye Qiu.
In reality, if cut in line, people would be furious, even violent!
But in the game, rules governed.
Players enjoyed watching uncivil people get punished by the system!
However, a shocking scene appeared.
Uncle Xu looked at the cloaked player, and for a rare moment, smiled kindly!
Players were stunned!
They had queued so long, never seen Uncle Xu smile!
Most just prayed Uncle Xu wouldn't get angry with them!
Because NPCs in this game had personalities, like real people, with behaviors!
If annoyed, they waved people away, or ignored them!
Most times, they leaned against the wall drinking, ignoring the queue!
But now... this guy was cutting the line!
Where was the system?
The divine punishment?
Kill him with lightning!
But everything was calm!
Uncle Xu was chatting and laughing with the cloaked player!
