Chapter 256: Chapter 82: Not being foolish in youth is a waste of youth

"You rely on numbers to claim victory, I won’t accept this—ah!" Mountain Splitting Tiger, Li Qing, let out a tragic scream as he was felled with a thunderous crash.

Xiao Jie watched the BOSS fall, wondering to himself if that was really the end.

He was used to tough fights and hard-won battles against BOSSes, so it felt somewhat strange to now watch dozens of players grind a BOSS to death with remote weapons while he just sneaked in a few opportunistic strikes to finish the fight.

However, Xiao Jie knew that this was the ideal state of a BOSS battle in a death game—no need to go all out, no need to risk one’s life, just well-coordinated teamwork with everyone shooting arrows was enough to get it done.

If every BOSS could be defeated this easily, then the game would be truly enjoyable.

This was a shielded BOSS at that; it probably would have been even easier to win if it hadn’t been.

With the BOSS defeated, the remaining few mountain bandits were quickly dealt with, and the battle for the village finally came to an end.

But the action to recover the village wasn’t over yet. The final step of ’flag capture’ had to be completed to finish the occupation.

Of course, they first had to loot the BOSS’s body.

"Lucky Star, go loot the body, and remember to record it."

"Understood, Captain."

A player named Hongyun Dangtou stepped forward and looted the BOSS’s body.

He must be the one with the highest Luck in the guild, as Hongyun Dangtou immediately sent the loot list to the team channel.

Xiao Jie took a look, hey, not bad loot.

Arrows ×179, Li Qing’s Head (Task Item), Tiger Roar Skill (Mid-grade Inner Power), Iron Mountain Armor (excellent), Tiger Head Golden Saber (excellent).

A total of four treasures dropped.

Especially with a Inner Power Secret Manual included! Xiao Jie thought to himself that was a great find, as he was just worrying about a lack of Inner Strength. It was just a question of whether he could get his hands on it.

After looting the body, Hidden Dragon Do Not Use didn’t rush to distribute the spoils, but led everyone to the central square of the village. There, in front of the village chief’s large residence, stood a tall flag with the emblem of Black Wind Mountain on it.

There was also a circle of light around it.

[System Prompt: Entering the circle of light allows you to occupy the current Monster Stronghold. Warning: This action will provoke a collective attack from the surrounding monsters.]

Xiao Jie realized this was the case.

"Don’t enter the circle of light yet, everyone. Note—the one who captures the flag during the village recovery will receive 1000 points of Fengyin State reputation. Anybody who wants to farm reputation can sign up—of course, guild points will be deducted."

"I’ll sign up!" Dongfang Sheng eagerly called out, as he was in a hurry to farm reputation and recruit Generals.

"I’m signing up too!" Another voice rang out, and it was Deceitful Fox who had learned a lot of information in the group chat and finally realized in dismay that his Profession seemed to have taken a wrong turn.

The gunman was among the least prominent of professions.

Luckily, it’s never too late to mend. A Level 10 gunman with a Level 20 General as a secondary Profession meant that at Level 30, they could Double Transfer to become an ’Unrivaled General’. Although the ’Unrivaled General’ couldn’t lead a group of soldiers like a ’general’, their personal combat power was much more robust, making them a decent alternative.

So, farming reputation was necessary.

"How much more reputation do you two need to reach Respect?"

"350."

"1000."

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use said, "Alright, then the two of you can do it together, each deducting 30 points, okay?"

"No problem, no problem," the two hurriedly agreed.

"Then go ahead and capture it."

The two immediately stepped inside the flag’s circle of light.

Capturing the stronghold was quite tedious; after waiting several minutes, a flash of white light appeared, and the flagpole disappeared in an instant, replaced by one bearing the Fengyin State emblem.

At the same time, Xiao Jie heard the system prompt’s voice in his ear.

[System Prompt: Your guild has successfully recovered the lost village of Black Rock Village. Based on your performance in this battle, your reputation value in Fengyin State has increased by 216 points, your reputation value in Luoyang Town has increased by 432 points, and your reputation in Fengyin State has reached Respect.]

Eh, I’ve reached Respect just like that?

Xiao Jie was somewhat speechless, but he remembered that he had received reputation rewards for defeating Cloud Guest and Xiong Ba, along with 500 points for defending Newbie Village, which had nearly brought him to Respect already.

Now, with this addition, he precisely reached Respect.

Unexpectedly, he was the first one to reach Respect, which wasn’t very significant for him, but it was somewhat useful. At the very least, he could get discounts when buying things at the State Mansion from now on.

Next, Hidden Dragon Do Not Use led everyone into the village chief’s house to open the mountain bandit’s treasure.

[System Prompt: Your guild has successfully plundered the mountain bandit’s treasure, acquiring 5,795,000 Wen, 756 stones, 1,421 wood pieces, 892 grains, 214 spirits...]

Seeing this system prompt, everyone immediately burst into joy; with so many good items, they were in for a treat.

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use said, "Alright, now it’s time to distribute the spoils.

First, all materials go to the guild and are not part of the distribution.

Money can be allocated to everyone, but first, the BOSS’s loot will be auctioned off. As for the Little Monsters’ loot, whoever picks it up can keep it; no need to hand it over.

The specific distribution plan shall be calculated according to the guild points, which everyone can check.

Xiao Jie had read through the guild’s points system the day before.

It was somewhat similar to the DKP systems he had encountered in other games, but not exactly the same.

All players who participated in activities could earn a base amount of points as long as they didn’t make mistakes, didn’t have major lapses, and followed the commands to complete their tasks.

for the Captain and Guest Elders, 20 points; for core members, 15 points; and for Outer Circle members, 10 points.
