Chapter 413: Chapter 36 Arcade Mode

"Should we make a retreat plan, just in case something goes wrong?" Xiao Jie finally couldn’t help but speak.

Hao Mie nodded, "Of course, I’ll arrange that in a bit."

Xiao Jie didn’t say anything more. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since he was seeking help and riding coattails, it was best to be cautious and prudent, at least until the other party made an obvious mistake.

So far, Hao Mie had demonstrated commendable leadership abilities.

Though the plan of action was already in place, who would execute each part still needed to be assigned.

Hao Mie said, "Everyone’s clear on these steps, right? If there are no issues, let’s start assigning people. Know your strengths and start volunteering."

"I’ll take care of the gong-hitting little monsters," declared Flipped Cake, the first to speak up.

This guy, with a dual Profession of Beast Taming Master and Divine Archer, was quite adept with the bow and arrow. Taking out a little monster in seconds was no problem for him.

"I’ll handle the two little monsters near the gate mechanism," Ye Luo volunteered as well.

"I’ll be responsible for jumping onto the village wall and scattering the other little monsters," Xiao Jie also declared what he could do. Since money was distributed based on performance, naturally he wanted to show his worth.

He didn’t dare claim he’d definitely get the MVP, but at the very least, he wanted to earn an All Gold share.

Jiu Jianxian said, "I’ll take care of blocking the stairs and clearing the little monsters beneath the village wall."

The tasks were quickly distributed, but in the end, two major problems remained.

Once they breached the stronghold, someone needed to lure out Niu Dali, as well as block the passage between the front and back of the village once Niu Dali crossed the breach.

"I’ll handle blocking the passage," An Ran said.

"You alone might not be enough for that job; the passage isn’t wide, but it isn’t too narrow either."

"I’m here too!" I Want to Be Immortal quickly volunteered.

He hadn’t had a chance to show his strength yet, and seeing that he might not even get a share of Half Gold if he held back much longer.

Hao Mie spoke calmly, "Are you sure? This task isn’t easy; you’ll have to face the onslaught of over a hundred little monsters."

But I Want to Be Immortal confidently said, "Don’t worry, I’m quite powerful!"

Xiao Jie was also a bit worried; this was a high-level game after all, with eight people taking on an entire stronghold. There wasn’t much room for error.

So, he sent a private message.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Cheng Xian, don’t overexert yourself. If you can’t pull your weight, at worst you won’t get a share of the loot, but if you can’t block the passage when it comes down to it, that will cost you money and could easily lead to trouble.

There was not only a reward system, but also a penalty system.

I Want to Be Immortal: Don’t worry, Feng. I’m now quite powerful. I won’t let you down.

Saying that, he changed into several pieces of new equipment.

I Want to Be Immortal was now clad in a suit of black, heavy armor. Except for the chest plate, which was still the Netherworld Soul Iron Armor, the other pieces were clearly standard gear, layered on top of one another, making him look fortified.

"My newly purchased set of Heavy Armor for infantry, it adds 120 toughness, 240 Body Defense. With this standing power, I fear no evil spirits or demons."

Xiao Jie curiously asked, "Where did you get the money?"

"The last guild event. I exchanged all my points for Silver and found some good deals in the auction house," he replied.

Xiao Jie thought this was money well spent.

I Want to Be Immortal had two Talents: Heavy Load and Divine Power of Thousand Catties. An ordinary player had to balance the weight with defensive power and wouldn’t dare wear armor that was too heavy. Even a General would typically pair iron armor with a few pieces of leather armor. However, he didn’t need to consider weight at all. As a result, he could relentlessly stack Armor for protection.

The heavier the Armor, usually the higher its defensive power. Although I Want to Be Immortal’s set was only of green quality, its defense power was even higher than ordinary blue or purple Equipment.

Of course, the downside was also evident; with a weight over 300+, ordinary players would struggle just to move in it, let alone fight. But for I Want to Be Immortal, this was no issue.

Once equipped, he was like a human-shaped mech, exuding an overwhelming presence.

This made Hao Mie and others pause in amazement.

Hao Mie said, "Good, then An Ran and I Want to Be Immortal will handle blocking the passage. I’ll lure out Niu Dali. Myself, Jiu Jianxian, and Hidden Moon Following Wind, the three of us will fight in the front row. Flipped Cake will support from the second line, and Zishan will be tasked with resolving issues.

"Ye Luo, you’ll roam the Outer Circle, patch up any damage or clean up the newly spawned little monsters.

"No problem."

Everyone responded in agreement.

Hao Mie said, "Anticipate defeat before victory. If things become untenable, three people with good Qinggong should stay behind to cover the retreat. I’m one of them; who else?"

"Count me in," said Jiu Jianxian.

"I’ll join as well," added Xiao Jie.

The three, being both front-row and rearguard, almost certainly secured a share of All Gold.

Since the best performers were rewarded with All Gold, the average performance with Half Gold, and no share for poor performance, it was natural that everyone should give their best and strive to fulfill their tasks.

Yet, Xiao Jie realized that this method of distribution was much simpler than calculating big and small contributions, though this was only suitable for small teams. For larger groups of dozens of people, it would be necessary to tolerate some slackers and provide clearer rewards for those who bravely led the charge.

"Alright, the plan is set, prepare for action! Positions, everyone!"

Ye Luo vanished into the shadows, stealthily making his way to the darkness behind the village wall.

Flipped Cake drew his bow, aiming at a little monster near the Bell Tower on the village wall.

Xiao Jie and Jiu Jianxian found their spots, ready to jump into action.

"Flipped Cake—move out!"

Secret technique—Splitting Stone Burst Arrow!

Swoosh—boom! The arrow, with the might of an armor-piercing shell, blew the little monster’s head clean off. The bow and arrow effectively replicated the effect of an anti-materiel sniper rifle.
