Chapter 269: Retainer! Fire Demon!
【Wu Shuang City Broadcast: Player "Qu Ge Mingzi Hao Nan" has cleared the Nightmare Difficulty Dungeon "Exploding Volcano". This feat has shocked Wu Shuang City, rewarding Wu Shuang City Reputation +100】
Following the appearance of this broadcast,
All the players in Wu Shuang City were completely shocked.
"Qu Ming...cleared another dungeon!!!"
"And it's a Nightmare Difficulty Dungeon!!!"
"Exploding Volcano... I remember that's the new level 60 dungeon in Wu Shuang City!!!"
"Ah ah ah ah!!!! I'm only level 50!!! Qu Ming has already cleared the Nightmare Difficulty of a level 60 dungeon!!! Is the gap really that big!!!"
"I really want to know what Qu Ming's stats are like..."
"Let's not... Qu Ming's stats are probably more terrifying than a BOSS... If you see them, you probably won't want to play this game anymore..."
"That's a terrifying existence with three god-level items on him!!! Forget about god-level items, I've only seen the stats of a level 30 Diamond item once so far..."
"You've actually seen the stats of a Diamond item... I haven't even seen what a Platinum item looks like..."
"Brother, you're so miserable... I have a few Platinum items on me, let me show you..."
"..."
Outside the dungeon.
Li Xiang looked at the Fire Demon floating in the air beside him, a smile on his face.
The Fire Demon had changed from a Platinum-grade BOSS to a Diamond-grade BOSS.
And after leaving the dungeon, the Nightmare Difficulty Dungeon's buff on it did not disappear.
Currently, the Fire Demon's stats were extremely terrifying.
Its HP had increased from the original eighteen million to nearly twenty-four million.
Physical Attack exceeded two hundred thousand!!!
Magic Attack exceeded three hundred thousand!!!
Physical Defense one hundred forty thousand, Magic Defense two hundred thousand!!!
Extremely terrifying stats!!!
With these stats, if Li Xiang didn't use the skills attached to his god-level equipment, there would be no possibility of defeating it.
Too terrifying!!!
This couldn't help but make Li Xiang think of the Demon Face Fish King.
To this day, Li Xiang still couldn't see the Demon Face Fish King's stats.
As the final BOSS in a Nightmare Difficulty Dungeon,
The Demon Face Fish King's stats would only be even more terrifying.
And...
A graceful yet fierce figure appeared in Li Xiang's mind.
How terrifying would the stats of the Demon Clan Priest - Chen Sisi be?!!
If he really fought her, he would probably only have one way to use a skill.
That would be an invincible skill.
Once the invincible time passed, what would greet him would likely be death.
No chance of winning at all...
"Hoo..."
Li Xiang's gaze fell on the mark on his arm.
Now he felt even more like he had profited...
Li Xiang's gaze looked towards the dungeon.
【Ding! Please select the dungeon difficulty. Dungeon difficulty is divided into Normal, Hard.】
Li Xiang's pupils contracted.
"It's gone..."
The options for Nightmare and Hell difficulty... were gone?!
Unheard of!!!
Li Xiang looked at the Fire Demon.
The Fire Demon's gaze was also looking at the dungeon's teleportation portal.
It saw Li Xiang's confusion.
"Whether it was Nightmare Difficulty or Hell Difficulty, the final BOSS was me."
"Only the stats were different, essentially it was me."
"I escaped from the dungeon, so, the Nightmare Difficulty and Hell Difficulty of this dungeon are incomplete without the final BOSS...
So... it's gone..."
Li Xiang looked at it in astonishment.
If that was the case, then the dungeon where the Demon Face Fish King was located also no longer had the Nightmare and Hell Difficulty options!!!
He hadn't noticed this at the time.
However, what made Li Xiang even more astonished was something else.
Since this update of the expansion pack, Li Xiang felt, whether it was his illusion or not, that the NPCs and even the Monsters in the game had become more intelligent.
Moreover... they had started saying some game terms.
Since when did this start...
Li Xiang furrowed his brows.
After a long while, Li Xiang recalled meeting Chen Sisi before entering the dungeon.
Before Chen Sisi wanted to buy the shop in his hands, she stopped him and asked if he was going to clear the level 60 dungeon...
At the time, Li Xiang didn't find anything strange.
Thinking about it now...
Something is wrong!!!
Nine out of ten things are wrong!!!
As an NPC in the game, saying the words 'dungeon' was inherently very awkward.
This kind of talk was usually only said by players!!!
And...
The Fire Demon's words made Li Xiang feel an even greater sense of awkwardness and disconnect!!!
As the final BOSS in the dungeon, its programmed purpose should have been to defeat challengers, which were the players.
But now, it had escaped.
It clearly knew that it was originally the final BOSS in the dungeon, and it even told him the game's secrets.
No matter how he thought about it, something felt wrong...
But from another perspective,
All of this was intentionally done by the game's designers, to make players, such as Li Xiang, think of this, thereby increasing the mystery and playability of the game!
"Interesting design..."
Li Xiang shook his head.
"Let's go, Fire Demon."
As a retainer, the Fire Demon and Li Xiang were equals.
However, because Li Xiang helped the Fire Demon complete its fusion and gain freedom, the Fire Demon was relatively obedient to Li Xiang.
Hearing Li Xiang call it, it immediately said in a muffled voice, "Okay."
With the Fire Demon, Li Xiang couldn't ride the Crimson Flame Steed to travel quickly, so he could only move slowly.
But Li Xiang didn't feel bored either.
The Fire Demon, like a true intelligent life form, chatted with Li Xiang, talking about the game's secrets that it knew.
Perhaps to it, this was just ordinary knowledge, but to Li Xiang, it was extraordinary, it was about understanding these Monsters and NPCs, or rather, understanding the true purpose of the designers, so that he could play the game better!!!
Half an hour later.
The sky had already turned dark.
The Tianhuang Mountain Peak gradually became clear in Li Xiang's eyes.
The Fire Demon's figure was also incredibly dazzling in the night sky.
The light of the flames constantly appeared, like a huge ball of fire.
From afar, the members of the Gods Guild saw it.
"There's a Monster approaching!!!"
"Suspected BOSS!!! Be alert!!!"
"..."
As the world's top Guild, the members of the Gods Guild were undoubtedly top-tier.
The members who were still in the Guild immediately rushed to the front of the Guild Residence gate.
Since Liu Yunfeng and the others were going to L City in reality today to find Li Xiang, they had logged off early.
The only one in charge of the Guild was Qing Shui Ya.
She immediately gave orders to command.
Several Assassin players quickly approached the Fire Demon, preparing to check the situation.
When they got closer,
They were astonished to see a small figure beside the Fire Demon.
Compared to the massive Fire Demon, this figure was small, but the figure holding the large demon halberd was incredibly tall in their hearts.
Even the Fire Demon's firelight beside him was obscured.
"President!!"
"It's the President!!!"
"No need to be alert!!! The President is back!!!"
