Windstorm Platform
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wind-on-Snow’s real name being Xiao Xue was something that he had confirmed with Jiaojiao. However, the existence of her brother called Xiao Changfeng 1 was something that Li Yi was never aware of.
Shen Lang’s investigative capabilities were definitely professional-level. Combining his findings with the bits and pieces of Li Yi’s past life, anyone could piece together the hidden secrets behind the Wind-on-Snow incident in the past life.
Originally Li Yi had always leaned towards the point of view that Lil Snow had a reason for her actions. He would rather believe that Lil Snow was being forced than to believe that Lil Snow actually scammed him. However, now that he knew all this information, it mercilessly shredded all his perceptions in his mind. He could not help but admit that the pure and innocent looking Lil Snow was undoubtedly a scammer!
“Lil Snow, this guy is the Tyrannic Dynasty Guild’s elite Xiao Changfeng. Although his current level is not high, his potential is quite amazing.” While Xiao Changfeng was explaining the dungeon strategy, Li Yi pulled some random line out of his *rse.
Wind-on-Snow only emotionlessly acknowledged him.
“Why’re you acting so cold? Cheer up a bit, aren’t you happy to make a new friend?”
“I don’t want to make new friends, I only want to quietly play my game.” Wind-on-Snow lightly sighed.
“Does that include me?”
Li Yi suddenly had an evil grin on his face. Grabbing Wind-on-Snow’s hand, in front of her actual brother, he pulled her into his embrace.
“Holy crap!”
“Holy sh*t!”
“Oh my f*ck...”
Every member of the party was completely shocked. Even Jiaojiao had to pinch her own cheeks because she could not believe what had happened...
“Perverted Wing, you...”
“Guild Master Dark Wing, you...” Xiao Changfeng’s face darkened.
“Don’t mind me, you guys continue,” Li Yi loudly shouted.
Wind-on-Snow was furiously struggling, but Li Yi could not care less about her feelings. He wanted to use this action to test their reactions as siblings.
‘Their performance was magnificent, it was exactly like two strangers. If it wasn’t for Shen Lang’s investigation, no one would’ve guessed that these two were siblings.’
“Guild Master Dark Wing, take care about your image. You are a celebrity after all.” Xiao Changfeng let out a deep breath and said calmly.
Li Yi cheekily hit his head, “Oh, I nearly forgot, I’m sorry everyone.”
...
“If everyone understands, then let’s begin. There’s nothing much to say about the small monsters, other than to pay attention to the channeling bars and interrupt when necessary.”
Xiao Changfeng’s facial expression was still conflicted. However, when Li Yi took into account that Wind-on-Snow was his actual sister, this was completely understandable. Even if Li Yi was Wind-on-Snow’s man, to pull this kind of stunt in front of their brother-in-law was not something anyone could just easily accept.
“Please, don’t act like this. I’ll really feel grossed out if you act like this...” Wind-on-Snow sent a private message to Li Yi.
“Oh, I’ll refrain from doing it next time.”
“When I was at school, there were a lot of people who wanted to go out with me, but I never had a boyfriend before. This is something that Jiaojiao can confirm with you. I... I don’t know why, but ever since I first saw you, I’ve always felt like I somehow knew you. It even felt like I was already very close to you. No matter what you do, I still... I still could never start to hate you.”
...
While the two conversed, the battle had already started.
“Thieves go up and Ambush the Repelling Wind Beasts that can heal. Main tanks and DPS ready up!”
The party consisted of 25 people. Out of all of them, three were main tanks and three were healing classes. The remaining members were all DPSes.
The Thieves in the party went into Stealth and walked forward. Once they found any Repelling Wind Beasts who could use healing spells, they directly used Ambush on them.
[Ambush: Can only be used out of combat. This skill does not cause any damage, it is a pure CC skill. Causes the target (only effective against targets with a physical body) to enter a Dizzy state. Lasts for 1 minute.]
Once the Repelling Wind Beasts that could heal were all hit, the three main tanks started Taunting, pulling the aggro of a group of Inferior Wind Elves.
“DPS nuke them!” With Xiao Changfeng’s roar, the battle had officially begun.
With a super VIP like Li Yi present, could beating Level 30 Inferior Wind Elves even be considered a challenge?
With at most two arrows per monster, he easily annihilated more than a dozen Inferior Wind Elves in less than a minute.
“Oh my lord, an 8,000 DPS...” Someone checked the party’s damage numbers and instantly let out a shout of amazement.
Amongst the average party members, including players with the Wizard class that had terrifying damage output, the highest DPS was barely 3,000. Li Yi somehow got an 8,000 DPS, could they not be amazed?
“This bastard... Terrifying. This DPS display was truly astonishing...”
Looking at Li Yi work, most of the party members were utterly impressed.
“What’s so amazing about that? Wait till this b*tch changes class to Dark Paladin, then my DPS would rise straight up to the tens of thousands.” Jiaojiao was not fazed by this, even though her DPS was only at around 1,000 or so.
“Dark Paladin? Isn’t it Black Paladin for you?” Li Yi laughed.
“Black your *rse!” Jiaojiao glared at him angrily.
The Windstorm Platform map area was extremely big. The map structure was made up of various platforms. In order to get from one platform to another, one had to use the Wind Ladder to progress.
They were ladders that were made completely out of the wind. They floated in the air like a mirage, often disappearing and reappearing. There were countless newbs who fell victim to the disappearing Wind Ladder, sending them to their doom.
In this 25-man casual party, half of the members were newbs. Just after the party finished clearing the monsters in the first platform and started to climb the Wind Ladder, ten of the members were careless. While they were climbing up the Wind Ladder halfway, the Wind Ladder disappeared, instantly sending them to their deaths. Luckily, Wind-on-Snow and Jiaojiao had successfully made it.
“What a bunch of f*cking trash. Can’t even climb a ladder right. Use your eyes and take a good look. When the ladder appears, then you climb. If the ladder doesn’t appear you don’t climb. Do you dumb*ss motherf*cking sons of b*tches think you can climb air?” Xiao Changfeng was pissed.
“It’s my first time here, I’m still not too sure about what to do.”
“My bad everybody...”
“F*ck, it’s no doubt my fault I couldn’t get up in time, but why do you have to scold us like that. Who the hell are you? How dare you f*cking scold me?”
Out of the people who died, some were apologetic, whilst others started raging, scolding Xiao Changfeng out loud while pointing at him.
“If anyone dares to b*tch around again, I’m gonna start kicking you pricks!” It seemed like Xiao Changfeng’s temper was at its absolute limit.
Li Yi waved his hand, “Everyone stop fighting. There will always be mistakes when running dungeons. The first time I came to the Windstorm Platform, I also fell to my death dozens of times before getting used to it.”
“It can’t be, to think celebrities like him also had this kind of dark history?”
“You’re just saying that to comfort us, right?”
“Hahaha, interesting...”
Li Yi’s words were very influential. Once he started speaking, Xiao Changfeng had stopped scolding, whilst others had also stopped complaining. Those who had to corpse run started to corpse run (Players could not revive after falling off a platform, they could only corpse run), whereas those who needed to heal started to heal.
Li Yi and company waited for them on the second platform for around ten minutes. All of those players who died falling had finally got used to the timing of the Wind Ladder and successfully climbed up.
However, there was a Wizard who was so dumb that it left everyone else speechless named Really Not Bad. Once he got on the Wind Ladder, he would get agitated. After attempting it more than 30 times, he still could not get up. In the end, he was feeling extremely depressed. After telling the party he was sorry, he voluntarily left the party...
“Guild Master Dark Wing, do we need to find a replacement?” Xiao Changfeng curiously asked Li Yi for his opinion.
“One less person was no big deal.” This had delayed the entire thing for too long, Li Yi had started to lose his patience.
Xiao Changfeng nodded, “Alright, we’ll continue on.”
With an existence with such strong firepower like Li Yi present, the small monsters in the Windstorm Platform barely posed a threat to the party. Even if the main tanks were to fall, Li Yi could just start shooting rapidly and all the surrounding small monsters would drop dead on the spot. None would be spared.
When it came time for the next Wind Ladder, a few people fell to their deaths again. However, this time, they did not waste much time. The people who fell to their deaths made it to the next platform with only one extra try.
After defeating five platforms’ worth of small monsters, the group arrived at a gigantic platform. A large-sized Repelling Wind Beast lay there silently, deep in its slumber.
This was the Ancient Repelling Wind Beast, the first boss of the Windstorm Platform.
“This boss is quite easy to beat. It only has 10,000,000 HP. It can use an AoE Hurricane spell to knock players back. However, it’s quite easy to dodge. All you need to do is to run underneath its body. It can also use healing spells to replenish its HP. That needs to be interrupted accordingly, otherwise, it would regain 6,000,000 HP in one go. After using the healing spell a couple of times, it would go into Berserk mode. At that point, it would be a guaranteed TPK. As for the rest... There’s really not much else to say.” Xiao Changfeng read out the strategy some other guy posted on the official site word-for-word.
Li Yi raised his hand, “Set a rally point on me, I’ll tell you guys when to run when the time comes.”
The Ancient Repelling Wind Beast’s AoE Hurricane spell was absolutely bothersome. He did not want to delay the time spent here by getting TPK’d.
“Okay.”
Xiao Changfeng set an eye-catching smiley face rally point on Li Yi. That way, everyone in the party would easily know where he was.
“Everyone ready? Main tanks go. Remember your duties, take turns Taunting to block off the boss.”
The three main tanks charged up together as the Ancient Repelling Wind Beast started howling angrily. A strong gust of wind burst out from its mouth, causing everyone in the party 50% damage of their health pool.
“This is the habitat of the Gods! Mortals, abandon your desires and leave this place now!” The Ancient Repelling Wind Beast roared as it flapped its wings in the air.
“Follow me and charge up!”
With a loud roar, Li Yi led the charge towards the Ancient Repelling Wind Beast’s body...
The party followed Li Yi and started running up. When every member managed to get under the Ancient Repelling Wind Beast’s body, the AoE Hurricane spell was unleashed.
A pale blue gust of wind blew in the surrounding area, instantly turning into a huge tornado, rapidly spinning about.
The tornado had created a huge pulling force, causing the party members tucked under the Ancient Repelling Wind Beast’s body to lose their footing. All they could do was to continue running forward to avoid being sucked up by the pulling force.
“Whoooo whoooo——”
The tornado suddenly switched directions. Xiao Changfeng’s reaction was slightly too slow, causing him to completely lose his balance, instantly being sucked into the raging tornado.
[-999999]
A beautiful damage number appeared on top of Xiao Changfeng’s head. He was insta-killed!
