Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Match or Not? (2/5)_1

"That was fast, wasn’t it? Based on the distance on the map, even if Lady Wu rushed over at her full speed, she’d probably just be arriving. And yet, they’ve already killed that Special BOSS? Didn’t they say they were going to try triggering it first?"

Lin Luoluo’s mind worked quickly; she soon realized something was off.

As soon as she voiced her thoughts, Meng Han and the others belatedly felt the same.

Indeed, it was too fast. By all accounts, Lady Wu should have just arrived there. How had her name suddenly jumped to third on the survival time leaderboard?

Was this the Special BOSS?

If it weren’t for the "+10%" next to Lady Wu’s survival time on the leaderboard, they might have even thought the three of them had triggered some incredibly easy hidden mission and completed it instantly.

However, before entering the instance, they had thoroughly familiarized themselves with its mechanics.

Hidden missions only increased survival time; only killing a Special BOSS could add a percentage bonus to the final survival time calculation.

The presence of this 10% bonus meant they had definitely killed a Special BOSS.

But based on their travel time, Lady Wu had only just reached the location when the Special BOSS was killed.

"A 10% bonus to the final calculation usually comes from an S-level Special BOSS, right? If I recall correctly, that’s comparable to a level 10 Golden BOSS!"

"HISS! A level 10 Golden BOSS... It’s debatable whether we could kill one even if we all attacked together. They managed it with just three people? That’s outrageous!"

"That BOSS must have had at least seventy million health."

"No, more than seventy million. They’re in an area that only opened on the second day. Remember the earlier notification?"

"Heavens! Did they just instantly kill a BOSS with seven hundred million health and tens of thousands of attack power?"

The more Meng Han spoke, the more alarmed he became. He quickly sent a message to Lady Wu to ask if they had misunderstood something.

He messaged Lady Wu: "Lady Wu, did you three just kill a Special BOSS?"

Her reply came quickly: "Yep, you didn’t see it? I was stunned! The teamwork between Chen Mo and Little Moon is incredible. Little Moon buffed Chen Mo, then Chen Mo summoned Little Skeleton, who rushed forward and killed the BOSS in seconds! Seven hundred million health! A BOSS with a full seven hundred million health, can you believe it!"

Since Lady Wu didn’t know what kind of buff Yan Yingyue had cast on Chen Mo with her Magic Wand as she retreated, she assumed it was something that massively increased combat power or dealt percentage-based damage.

Being a five-stars profession, it wasn’t strange for Yan Yingyue to possess such powerful capabilities.

Chen Mo’s ability to instantly kill monsters was so astonishing that Lady Wu subconsciously began to rationalize it.

She naturally couldn’t believe Chen Mo could kill the BOSS single-handedly. However, factoring in some unknown, powerful buff from Yan Yingyue made it much more plausible.

Receiving Lady Wu’s confirmation, Meng Han was even more astounded.

"This is too strong! A Gold BOSS of the same level, buffed tenfold, killed instantly? And I actually had the audacity to ask to team up with them earlier. With their strength, they didn’t even need a team; anyone else would have been a burden. No wonder they refused so many invitations from powerful teams before we approached them."

Initially, they had approached Chen Mo and the others because they were impressed by Yan Yingyue’s five-stars support-type profession.

While they didn’t disparage the role of a Skeleton Mage, they hadn’t thought it particularly useful either. They only mentioned Chen Mo’s potential contributions to save Yan Yingyue some face, so they wouldn’t seem too dismissive.

After all, they had secretly observed for a while and noticed Yan Yingyue was clearly displeased when many teams underestimated Chen Mo.

At that time, Yan Yingyue and Chen Mo’s relationship was still casual; she was merely upset that others were looking down on her schoolmate out of a sense of camaraderie.

Even so, Meng Han and his group had noticed her reaction.

That was why they had later acted as if they recognized Chen Mo’s worth.

Looking back now, they realized they were the ones who had been aiming too high. Meng Han recalled that Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue hadn’t shown any disdain toward his group at first. It made him feel that not only were they strong, but they also had a pleasantly harmonious disposition. They truly had the air of the powerful.

"I already asked Lady Wu," Meng Han announced. "They really did kill the BOSS instantly. Yan Yingyue’s five-stars profession seems to have a very powerful buff. With her support, Chen Mo and his Skeleton Monster’s power greatly increased, allowing them to defeat the BOSS very quickly. The specifics are unclear. It was shocking, but they really did it easily."

Hearing Meng Han’s confirmation, the others couldn’t help but feel the same way.

With such a formidable duo, what right did they have to ask to team up? Did Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue need them? Were they even worthy?

The thought made them feel a little awkward.

Meanwhile, among the group from the aristocratic families, Ji Yu exclaimed in surprise, "No way! The three of them killed a Special BOSS!"

"Who?" Chen Mo of the aristocratic family asked Ji Yu.

"Your good brother," Ji Yu replied with a helpless smile.

"Oh!?"

Chen Mo of the aristocratic family immediately pulled up the leaderboards to take a look.

"Wow, my good brother is strong! He didn’t let me down at all," he said excitedly. "Instead of saying the three of them killed it, it’s more accurate to say it was two of them. Look, the third person is just an ordinary Priest. With Yan Yingyue, a five-stars Priest, present, it’s like that ordinary Priest wasn’t even there."

Finished speaking, he turned to Zhao Wuming. "And you called him a deadweight! Look, just the two of them killed a Special BOSS comparable to a Golden BOSS!"

Zhao Wuming glanced at the leaderboards and snorted. "What does that have to do with him? Without Yan Yingyue, the five-stars Support, how could he possibly have killed it? Even if they did kill it with just two people, Yan Yingyue must have done at least 99% of the work."

"It’s all the same," Chen Mo of the aristocratic family retorted, disgruntled. "If we had brought my good brother, Yan Yingyue from their school would have come too. It’s all your fault for rejecting him; now we’re missing such a strong helper."

"So what if it’s a Golden BOSS? Can’t the ten of us take it down? Five-stars support-type professions are amazing, sure, but it’s not like we can’t function without one."

Zhao Wuming’s xenophobia was palpably deep-seated.

Even if it was a five-stars support-type profession he could appreciate, he still didn’t want to accept outsiders.

"I can’t be bothered with you," Chen Mo of the aristocratic family grumbled. "Just don’t come crying to me later if we run into trouble we can’t handle and you expect me to go ask them for help."

"Ridiculous," Zhao Wuming said dismissively. "In this instance, as long as we don’t provoke any Special BOSS of SS level or higher, what trouble could possibly require us to ask for their help?"

Back with Chen Mo, after the BOSS was defeated, his Little Skeleton went all out and, within an hour, helped Lady Wu complete the kill quota for her tenfold mission.

"Thank you so much," Lady Wu said. "My mission quota is full now, so I’ll head back. If you need anything else, just call us."

Although Lady Wu knew Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue were a formidable duo, she felt no desire to stay. Her thoughts were still with her good friend Meng Han, so as soon as her mission quota was met, she was eager to return.

"Alright, we’ll escort you back then, so you don’t run into trouble on the way alone," Chen Mo said, recalling Lady Wu’s earlier predicament. Previously, when she was with Meng Han and his group, her rank was only average. But once she was alone, she was quickly targeted.

Now, Chen Mo had helped her jump straight into the top three of all three leaderboards. Furthermore, she had completed tenfold the task quota, placing her third on the daily list for mission completion.

The survival days awarded as rewards varied according to each person’s rank. Eliminating a competitor meant improving one’s own score. This was directly related to the final instance rewards and the number of bonus points for the college entrance exam.

For this dual benefit, countless people were undoubtedly plotting in the shadows!
