MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 340: Chapter 340 Gold Shiny
Though the Sand Dragon King’s dragon car moves slowly to activate, it has taken out many players. Those who manage to dodge it usually rely on their unique displacement abilities.

Li Yao’s apparent dangerous yet seemingly relaxed dodge methods are something they hadn’t thought of before.

They usually resorted to a dive forward to dodge, never thinking about using a short-distance side shift move.

“You should know what to do now.” Li Yao did not use maximum speed, he played normally: “I know many of you don’t know how to judge distances. If so, you can shift sideways between the second and fourth second after the ground trembles. You can basically avoid the dragon car that way.”

Many players present remembered this method as they had tried their hands against the Sand Dragon King. The dragon cart did cause severe damage.

“Up next, after the side shift, you can quickly enter attack mode. The Sand Dragon King pauses for three seconds after the cart, during which its dorsal fin becomes easy to hit.” Li Yao said, as he shot arrows towards the Sand Dragon King’s dorsal fin.

Shadow Dance showed up amongst them, saying: “Gold Shiny has opened betting odds. Seems like it’s a big bet.”

“What’s the bet about?” Li Yao’s sister frowned.

“The bet is on whether the boss can complete the Platinum Challenge in one go.” Shadow Dance paused before continuing, “However, apart from some gamblers, nobody believes that the boss can win. There’s still a lot of placing bets.”

Li Yao’s sister shook her head, saying: “Gold Shiny is likely to fail this time, as the betting odds are extremely high. It appears that he bought over the analysts to get these results. With such a good opportunity, let’s make our bets. The ticket costs 1500 gold anyway.”

The guardian angel frowned, “Isn’t that too risky? He’s strong, but he has never played before. If it’s about passing the stage, no one will doubt. But, both avoidance of damage and breaking the position are very difficult. Especially avoiding damage, how can it be possible?”

“That’s why Gold Shiny is so confident. He set the odds of success so high to attract gamblers, yet the odds for failure are extremely low. He knows he won’t make a fortune from this gamble, but there is a practice called ‘Geese Flying Leaving Feathers’, which means to take a small profit from gamblers.”

Unparalleled Enchantress said, seemingly familiar with Gold Shiny’s way of thinking, “You guys didn’t notice, before the odds were set, almost no one bet on him winning. It’s after the odds were adjusted that the situation is as it is now. If it were anyone else, Gold Shiny would really make a fortune out of this. But now, he has made a miscalculation.”

“Can it really work?” Feng Yi seemed hesitant.

“Firstly, you should believe in the guild master’s abilities. Secondly, you should understand his style. If he weren’t 100% sure, he wouldn’t be doing this. Therefore, we could use this money for betting. Otherwise, earning a few hundred G is not interesting.”

Li Yao could earn that many gold coins at the tenth level. Now a few hundred gold coins is nothing to him.

“You’re the vice-guild master, your word matters,” said Starfire casually.

In their view, Li Yao’s skills are beyond doubt, but to guarantee no damage, it is extremely challenging.

“I’ve already placed my bet. Just trust our guild master. This time the biggest winner will be us. Both fame and fortune!” Li Yao’s sister said confidently, having gradually changed her original intent.

At first, she kept urging Li Yao to find a guild master fast. Now, she’s fully immersed in the joy of managing the guild.

This is the charm of the game. Even though she manages a company in the real world, in the game, there are endless possibilities. Watching the Starfire Guild grow from a few people to now over a thousand members, how they slowly established their base in the wilderness, she too desired to build a city.

She was initially hesitant to manage the guild because she was afraid that Li Yao would interfere in guild matters, leaving her hands tied. But as time passed, she realized that Li Yao had completely handed over the guild operation to her, only taking care of the general direction, and the other veterans got along well. As the wife of the guildmaster, Feng Yi had also never stepped out of line. As far as she could see, this was a positive and healthy management structure, and with this foundation, Starfire Guild would prosper rapidly.

The current situation is such that she doesn’t prompt Li Yao to look for a vice-guild master anymore, and he seems to have forgotten it too.

Li Yao retreated while dealing damage, saying, “With this boss, the most crucial part is finding your rhythm. Don’t be thrown off by the boss’ attack. You’ll waste a lot of time being frazzled, and the longer you stay like that, the higher the chance of getting attacked.”

A roar…

The Sand Dragon King buried its head in the sand.

“Here is something to note; when it buries its head in the sand, it’s not swallowing sand, but generating pressure in its mouth.” Li Yao noted as he once again dodged a sand bullet spat by the Sand Dragon King: “It will fire three sand bullets, and as you can see, they form a fan shape with its mouth as the vertex. So when you side-shift, don’t move too far, just dumbly avoiding the first bullet is enough.”

After dodging the first sand bullet, Li Yao didn’t move. The subsequent sand bullets the boss spat out landed to his left and right. Standing still after dodging the first bullet was absolutely safe. If he panicked, there would be a good chance of getting hit.

“Damn, this is too easy. Is he fighting the Challenge Mode Sand Dragon King?”

“I could never grasp it watching the videos, but experiencing it in person now, it feels like I am playing a different game compared to Li Yao.”

“I am but an elite in the guild, yet the Sand Dragon King messed me up so bad. But looking at Prairie Fire’s simple sidesteps makes it look so easy.”

“You guys know nothing. Li Yao is doing this with crappy equipment as a demonstration for us. Otherwise, if he summoned his pet, the Sand Dragon King would be half wasted.”

“Anyway, this time we have made a fortune. I can also be considered a pro after beating the Sand Dragon King.”

The entire arena was already bustling. Although it had started not long ago, many players felt that they had gotten their money’s worth.

The people from the various guilds watching had complex looks on their faces, not expecting Li Yao to be so relaxed.

“Next should be the Sand Spit attack. You can’t use the side-step for this spell. Those with life-saving abilities can use them now. If you don’t have one, it’s best to dive forward. As for when to dive, the best time would be 1.5 seconds after the Sand Dragon King lifts its head.”

Li Yao dodged the Sand Dragon King’s spit with a forward dive, as he explained and did it right at that time…
