not quite the same as imagined?_1 Chapter 1120: Chapter 1026: Why is this online connection…
not quite the same as imagined?_1 The Player Death Report released by Cloud Dream not only stunned the players, but also the media.
They almost joined in to celebrate!
Of course, once they realized what happened, they still decided to repost it.
Such a fun event, they certainly needed to join in the excitement, as all hatred was directed at Cloud Dream.
However, before the rage of the players could rise, a system notification suddenly interrupted their anger ——
‘The number of player deaths has reached the critical value, the online function has been unlocked.’
“?” Warehouse Bird was a little stunned when he saw this notice,” Did this happen because there were too many player deaths, so the game is allowing players to team up to fight the BOSS, thereby reducing the difficulty?”
He flipped through the game menu on the panel and indeed saw the newly appeared online option.
Warehouse Bird had a mind to try it.
But he was vying for the first completion.
Nowadays in the circle of hardcore gamers, there are some established rules for first completion battles, and the teaming up is obviously outside the rules.
Moreover, based on Cloud Dream’s usual approach, having more people around may increase the BOSS’s blood volume by 50%.

For him, a high-level player, whether this would decrease or increase the difficulty was a bit uncertain…
So, he could only encourage his stream viewers to try it out.
In contrast, Victoria, who had been badly beaten by the BOSS for two days, did not hesitate for a second——
“Online mode, activated!”
“Come on and save me from this disaster!”
She’s currently in [South Market], but she’s not fighting the [King Kong Ape] and the [Monkey Man]—she had already decided to leave those two BOSSes paired together until the end.
Her current opponent was another BOSS in the Southern Region — a chicken as tall as two and a half floors.
Its name was——
[Cluck☆Cluck]
Yes, there really was a star in this BOSS’s name…
Aside from this, this robust rooster had two narrow white feathers on either side of its chest, extending from the front all the way to its tail, a very prominent feature.
Compared to the other ferocious BOSSes in the city, this one was much more comical.
So much so, that Victoria, like many other players, thought this was a funny Easter egg BOSS and that it wouldn’t be too difficult.
Unfortunately, she only guessed half of it right.
Indeed, this was an Easter egg BOSS, and it had nothing to do with the main storyline of the game.
Players were rewarded for defeating it, but ignoring it wouldn’t really affect anything.
As for the difficulty…
Victoria had already been beaten to a pulp……
By this morning, she had racked up to 250 deaths and unlocked the feature to customize her death text.
Reluctantly, under the overwhelming public opinion in her live-streaming room, she changed the character for [Death] to [Noob].
So, she reluctantly accepted her change from [Victoria] to [Noob Yi].
Of course, there was also an advantage: Since she’s already become [Noob Yi], wasn’t it perfectly justified to ask for help?
However, after Victoria activated the online feature, no immediate help appeared.
To be more exact: nothing happened.
“???” Victoria’s head was full of question marks, “Where are the people?”
She opened the friend list, and there was neither an invite option nor an option to apply to enter a friend’s world.
“Do you also have to hide it?” Victoria was a little confused and could only turn to her viewers for help again, “Does anyone know how to summon people?”
The live-streamer community sent back a bunch of “don’t know” comments.
However, with such a large number of players, there are always those who just happen to have the corresponding items.
In less than 5 minutes, everyone knew that the online feature required the consumption of items, and that those items needed to be purchased from NPCs using souls.
During these 5 minutes, Victoria’s death count had once again increased by 2.
After being resurrected once again, she finally understood the online feature and ran out of the aggro range of [Cluck☆Cluck], waiting for the viewers from her live-streaming room to come and help.
Although this online feature was random, with the large number of viewers in her live room, the chances of running into each other were not low.
A minute later, a player, who did not show any ID on his head and was wrapped in black and red miasma from head to toe, ran into Victoria’s view.
“Brother, what’s the deal with this special effect of yours?” Victoria took the initiative to greet him.
Ɲονɡօ.сο
“#ï¿¥*@⊙±&∷…” the man replied.
“…” Victoria fell silent, “Can’t communicate?”
“∫âˆ!” The man nodded his head.
“Alright then, could you help me beat this BOSS?”
“∫âˆ!” The brother nodded his head confidently, and took off his weapon from his back—a giant lance.
Victoria turned around expectantly to start the BOSS battle.
But the moment she turned around, the huge lance suddenly pierced through her chest from behind!
Victoria was dumbfounded, she lowered her head to look at the weapon impaling her, and then turned her head back to look at the brother who had backstabbed her, her face full of disbelief.
The brother, however, was not lenient at all, he pulled out the lance and jabbed her twice more, sending her back to the resurrection point.Not only did Victoria fail to respond, the viewers in the live broadcast room also failed to respond.
It wasn’t until they saw the word[Dish] appear on the screen that they suddenly snapped back to reality:
“What kind of person?
They can even hurt their own teammates?”
“Isn’t the collaboration feature supposed to make the game easier for players?”
“Easier my ass!
The survival environment has become more brutal!”
“Turn it off!
Turn off the collaboration feature quickly!”
“But I think, this mechanic can also be used to fight the BOSS together, right?
Just be careful not to hit your teammates.”
“The problem is, this feature involves random matching.
We can’t see faces clearly and IDs aren’t displayed.
How do we know if they’re decent people or not?”
“Uh…how about developing a gesture that signals peace?”
…
After Victoria respawned, she was torn between [shutting down the collaborative feature] and [taking a gamble that the next one would be a decent person].
She finally decided to take a chance.
This decision pushed her death count up to 300.
But her perseverance paid off.
Finally, she met a reliable viewer.
After communicating and confirming their identities through the live broadcast room, they both went into battle with the BOSS-[Guluu☆Guluu].
The BOSS’s fighting style wasn’t complicated, it just hopped around, pecking and stepping on people, fanning wings, and dazing with its calls.
By taking turns attracting the BOSS and leaving safe spaces for drinking alcohol and regaining health, the two quickly depleted the BOSS’s first bar of health.
Upon proceeding, they both carefully maintained a bit of distance, wary of being instantly killed by the BOSS’s transformation skills.
But the BOSS did not transform, it just sat down.
Victoria didn’t quite understand what was going on, “What is it trying to do?”
No sooner had she finished her question than the rooster let out a loud crow—
“Guluu ~ Guluu!”
Victoria became even more dubious: “Isn’t a rooster’s crow supposed to sound like Woowoowoo?”
The BOSS quickly answered her question—
It flapped its wings and flew up!
And where it had been squatting, a huge egg suddenly appeared!
Just as Victoria and her co-player noticed, the chick already pecked a crack inside the egg.
The viewer was just about to charge at it when they noticed the BOSS, which had flown up, crow again, “Guluu ~ Guluu!”
And then another egg popped out from under its butt.
“???” The viewer too, was a little dumbfounded, he even ran into the live broadcast room to comment—
[Isn’t this a rooster?
Can roosters also lay eggs?]
But immediately, he had no time for these details, because the BOSS began to crow continuously:
“Guluu ~ Guluu!” “Guluu ~ Guluu!” “Guluu ~ Guluu!”…
One after another.
Huge eggs also started falling from the sky one after another.
What was even scarier was that the BOSS had flown above their heads and like a bomber, was throwing one oversized egg after another at them!
“Oh my god!”
Victoria was so surprised that her mouth was wide open.
She was being chased all over by eggs falling from the sky.
*
While Victoria was being chased by eggs, Queenie had arrived at the Divine Capital Garden outside Luoyang city.
After retrieving [Shirley’s Soul Core], and completing more than half of the side tasks in the [Survivor’s Hiding place], she obtained an extra piece of intelligence from the Mechanism Technique girl: Shirley mentioned [Divine Capital Garden] while chatting with her.
This wasn’t a task, just some info casually mentioned during their chat.
However, not wishing to miss out on any clues, Queenie travelled halfway across the city to this location.
After vanquishing a bunch of weird monsters, and a cryptic bookcase BOSS, Queenie successfully found a trace of Shirley’s presence.
It was another illusion—
Shirley pulled out a book from the bookshelf, and after reading it, she tore off the last page.
Queenie went to the bookshelf and took out that book, only to find it was an ancient tome of Daxia:
“Huainanzi· Topographical Lesson”
Although she had studied in Daxia, and her Chinese was completely OK.
But classical Chinese… that was another problem altogether.
Anyway, she could understand nothing but the book title- the content on the first page alone was enough to make her scratch her head.
Therefore, Queenie simply skipped the content and directly turned to the last page.
And this page, it was indeed torn off by someone.
After a bit of contemplation, she opened the interface and started to search for a modern Chinese translation of this book utilizing the Daxia Internet system.
– She wanted to know exactly what content was on the page that Shirley tore off.
