Chapter 116: Chapter 101: Success? Or Not? (Three updates)

“…A mayfly can hardly grasp the wonders of immortality. And besides…”
“I’m too lazy to chat with a fool like you, Squad Leader, follow me, we’re pulling out!”
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xiemen Waidao, dragging Mukuai 1234, leapt off the platform and vanished into the clouds.
The Disease Dragon and the temple keeper, who had hoped for a grand battle, stared blankly at the spot where Xiemen Waidao disappeared, not understanding what had happened.
The Squad Leader was also unclear, but the situation now was that they definitely couldn’t beat the Disease Dragon in front of them.
Instead of gambling their lives here, it was better to heed Xiemen Waidao’s advice.
Thus, the Squad Leader also shouted, “Brothers, let’s go!”
Under the Squad Leader’s lead, a few Personal Soldiers jumped off the platform and, soon after landing, felt the scenery around them expanding rapidly.
Then, the Squad Leader realized it wasn’t the surroundings that were growing, but rather they were shrinking.
In an instant, their bodies shrank to the size of sesame seeds, a gust of wind could blow them away, and their descent slowed down like snowflakes.
Beside them, a series of purple rings lit up, and Xiemen Waidao, riding on Mukuai 1234, came to their side and said, “I know whatyou want to ask. The slower descent is due to air resistance, and because the air here has Disease Qi, it’s denser, making our descent even slower. There won’t be any problem once we land.”
Only then did the Squad Leader remember that Xiemen Waidao possessed Divine Skills that could shrink or enlarge people.
He had thought that the Divine Skills could only be applied to himself; he hadn’t expected it to affect others around him.
Although he felt they could escape, he still asked with confusion, “We’re escaping, but what about the Disease Dragon?”
“That thing is easy to deal with, just wait for it to come. We speculate that the previous spells didn’t work on the Disease Beasts because we targeted the wrong object. Our actual target should be the bugs inside them, and that outer layer is merely a byproduct of the bugs. I must admit, the Demon Lord Temple has some skills, but alas, they met us! Exterminate hahaha!”
The Squad Leader looked at Xiemen Waidao with puzzlement, not knowing where his confidence came from.
Suddenly, something obscured the moonlight above, and a giant dragon made of skulls flew by, charging towards the medics’ gathering spot.
There, the medics had already been waiting for a while.
They had seen the intelligence provided by Xiemen Waidao and tested it on the large Disease Beast earlier, then confirming that the method was effective.
Every man-made Disease Beast had an abundance of Disease Bugs inside, and only by attacking these Disease Bugs could they achieve results.
Sitting on Mukuai 1234, Xiemen Waidao said, “From here on out, it’s none of our concern. Let’s watch their performance.”
The next second, purple rings flashed, and a spot on the Disease Dragon was illuminated by purple light, revealing a hidden black spot, followed by a second spell.
The black spot was extracted, with the Disease Bugs inside shattered by the purple light, dissipating into nothingness.
As for the head that had been the host of this Disease Bug, it too perished, its face showing a relieved smile.
Compared to the head’s relief, the face of the Disease Dragon showed a mix of shock and rage.
He was the trump card of the Demon Lord Temple, the secret weapon against the medics, but who could have expected that the weapon would be countered so fiercely upon its arrival, its prestige not even matching that of the previous slug.
Before he could react, another flash of purple light struck.
The moment the Disease Bug within the head was detected, several spells descended, eradicating the Disease Bug on the spot.
Then, one after another, spells lit up, hundreds of medics gathering nearby, commencing the largest-scale boss battle in the game.
The purple spells, like explosions, went off in succession, each wave annihilating a vast number of Disease Bugs.
The frenzied Disease Dragon ran wildly, close to the ground, causing only single-digit casualties, unable to stop the medics from continuing to respawn and keep coming to eliminate it.
Not far from the battlefield, Chen Rang stared at everything unfolding before him, beginning to write the battle report.
His battle reports were highly popular outside the game, as well as inside it.
This game seems to also encourage players to write battle reports, as some of the vigorous youth appear to always glean something from them. Each time they have an epiphany, he himself would receive more virtue and have more money to buy clothes for his Mukuai.
And when his battle report was completed, it was also the moment the Disease Dragon fell.
Defeating the boss took a total of forty-seven minutes, with the difficulty lying in the boss’s berserkform at the end.
Upon realizing that the healers could not be eliminated, the Disease Dragon finally became enraged, making its actions unpredictable.
Moreover, because its body shrank, it became exceptionally agile, requiring more time to capture the Disease Bugs within the opponent’s body, but the outcome would not change because of this.
At the moment of the Disease Dragon’s fall, the Great Temple Keeper atop the black tower also witnessed everything.
She wanted to ask for help from the Disease Demon Lord, questioning what she should do, but there was no response.
The Disease Demon Lord had already died, the era of disease was coming to an end, and these healers were the dawn of a new age—an era where they no longer had a place.
Realizing this, the Great Temple Keeper leaped from the black tower, giving herself a dignified end.
Her body was not found among the rubble until the break of dawn, swarmed by a multitude of bugs that left her beautifully once alive, now riddled with holes.
Before long, Chen Rang’s battle report was released, letting everyone know the outcome of the battle.
“Although the two prime culprits have been eliminated, the steps of the healers will not stop. Once the wheels of progress begin to turn, they will not stop. The meaning of the game title ‘Healers’ has been fully explained, showing us how grand the scope of a game should be. By the way, there are still large unexplored areas waiting for players to discover, and I hope more players will join in to enjoy the joy of revolution and exploration.”
During work hours, Wang Xiaoying finished reading the players’ periodic achievements and Chen Rang’s battle report, and couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s still these players who know how to make things exciting. When I was looking for the game’s selling points, I didn’t think it could be played as a revolutionary game.”
“I didn’t expect it either,” Huang Ping remarked while drinking his tea, “But I must say, the game seems more interesting after expanding its scope. Plus, the game’s early gameplay and later gameplay are unified yet progressive, which really shows the boss’s foresight.”
“You guys only know how to flatter, huh?” Gao Tianyun, standing at the door, said discontentedly, “If you ask me, this game is completely no good! Mr. Fang, you shouldn’t have wasted time on games, better to collaborate with me on VR. Just think, if the performance of VR equipment could be tapped into further, this game’s presentation would be even better. Every day you waste now delays the birth of virtual reality games by one day.”
Looking at Gao Tianyun seated by the door, Huang Ping asked in confusion, “Boss Gao, what are you doing?”
“Nothing much, just came to see Mr. Fang, and then express my dissatisfaction with Mr. Fang’s stubbornness. Hmm, where is Mr. Fang anyway?”
“Right, the boss was just here a moment ago, where did he go?”
At this very moment, Fang Cheng was hovering above the Disease Planet.
Although it was working hours, the four planets were enveloped in smoke, with battles raging fiercely everywhere, almost every place engaged in warfare.
The main force on the battlefield was naturally the healers. Although the Demon Lord Temples had more reserves of disease qi and various trump cards, the healers possessed advantages that the other side couldn’t compare with.
Infinite respawns, as well as a strong grassroots foundation.
Chen Rang’s battle reports might have just documented individual battlefields, but he would also add analysis, as after all his Mukuai loved to read them.
Of course, the vigorous youth loved to read them too.
Through the battle reports, the vigorous youth found that the terrifying Demon Lord Temples were not so fearsome, and could be defeated with the right strategies.
At the same time, they also realized that it was acceptable to pay taxes to the City Lord, but the City Lord should also fulfill their responsibilities. Responsibility should equal obligation, and one-sided giving is an abnormal relationship.
If it’s abnormal, then there’s a need to shatter it!
Bodies were healed, minds were armed, and the red flames began to burn, spreading to the entire world.
All of this was witnessed by Fang Cheng with but a thought.
By his side, the Heavenly Tao of this place had taken the form of a little girl who stood by Fang Cheng’s side in fear, not knowing why the Great Heavenly Lord furrowed his brows.
The reason for Fang Cheng’s frown was quite simple.
Had this turned out to be a success, or not?
