Chapter 1402: 473. The Impenetrable Fortress and Cheche’s Great Adventure

"Stick Brother’s team hasn’t been wiped out yet? Are they that resilient? I’ve been waiting until the flowers wilted."

On the west side of Plague Town, the student group had also completed their takeover of the undead positions outside the town, and with the assistance of Goldenrod People’s artillery fire, it wasn’t as difficult as they had imagined.

But now an awkward situation had arisen.

Because the Happy Stick team was still progressing through their quest, Miss Primis needed to maintain the spiritual energy countermeasures on that side, which directly led to the students having qualified for the dungeon but unable to start the quest in the western region due to the presence of the spiritual energy barrier.

There’s only one Miss Primis, and she can’t be in more than one place at a time, which means the three defensive lines can only take turns.

"Stick Brother’s team entered the quest just three hours ago, and it will be another three hours before it’s our turn. So let’s wait patiently, and in the meantime, clean up any lingering undead on the battlegrounds."

Master Yang was actually very anxious at this point.

The Ghost Mystic Manual his son needed was within sight, but he couldn’t step into the town. However, this old man, weathered by life’s ups and downs, really had good control over his emotions, allowing him to maintain a calm mindset.

He said to the others beside him:

"I just checked the ’Weaken Spiritual Energy’ task released by Miss Primis, and it’s clearly a complementary measure for the current rotational challenge by the development team.

According to Miss Primis, the three spiritual energy nodes in the swamp are currently controlled by the Wolf People, which is why their Mage Tower’s defense stronghold is nearly indestructible.

If we can take back the two nodes that are far from Plague Town, the Mage Tower will no longer be able to sustain the defense barrier covering the whole town.

Obviously, this is hinting to us that if we can take the other two spiritual energy nodes, we might be able to freely open up the whole dungeon without restrictions."

"But those two locations are at odds with Plague Town, nearly lying outside of our current explored area. There are no swift means of travel within the swamp, and relying solely on traveling by foot would take two to three days just to get there."

Teacher Li shook his head and said:

"If we choose to take those two regions guarded by the Wolf People now, it would be the same as giving up on the dungeon quest. No one is willing to voluntarily give up their rights to enter the dungeon.

Although most people are very clear that even if they truly enter the dungeon, it would be very difficult for them to obtain any loot.

But it’s all about participation, right?

You can’t forcibly demand that they leave here to contribute to the greater cause, can you?"

"That’s the biggest disadvantage of the player community."

Master Yang, looking around at the lively and boisterous players, shook his head and said:

"Brave but lacking management, unable to use forceful means to allocate tasks, everything’s fine when the situation’s good, but once it gets dire, chaos ensues."

"Let’s go."

A voice rose behind Master Yang, causing him to turn around in surprise, only to see Old Qin with his four young art student team members, each carrying a replica Mosin Nagant.

Old Qin chuckled and squinted as he said:

"I happened to catch your complaints just now, Master Yang. If others hear you, someone will definitely accuse you of being arrogant again.

Better to speak less of such things that can break unity."

"But I’m not wrong, am I? So now you can’t even state the facts?"

Old Yang said nonchalantly, waving his hand:

"However, are your team sure you want to leave Plague Town to capture the spiritual energy nodes? Not only are they far from the main battlefield, but the presence of the Jackal Warlocks probably means it’s quite dangerous.

The effort and the gain are completely disproportionate, no wonder other people don’t want to take this side quest."

"If we don’t accept, can we just stay here and hope to gain qualifications to enter the dungeon?"

Deep-fried Sweet Potato, standing beside Old Qin with hands on hips and sneering, said:

"Even if the old players open slots for the newbies, anyone with a bit of self-awareness about their abilities would know they’d be a burden in there.

This isn’t a normal game where you can have one player carry a team of thirty-nine; real combat pressure leaves no room for slackers.

With only ten days left for player free exploration in the ’Shadow of the Swamp’ event, if we don’t succeed, NPCs will have to step in.

It’s like setting a military order for a siege battle.

Under this pressure, the player guilds on all three battlefronts simply won’t bring along any ’bosses’ for fun, which means us newcomers are doomed to just watch the action and waste time staying here.

Better to take the opportunity to boost reputations with the three support factions. I saw some pretty snazzy items for sale from them."

"Whoa, a moment of clarity for you, Sweet Potato."

Ayu, flapping wings and flying past, laughed and waved at Deep-fried Sweet Potato, saying:

"I’m busy right now, can’t chat with you. After logging off, I’ll treat you to barbecue. Remember to bring along the girls from your department.

Those twin sisters we sang with last time...

You said you’d introduce them to me! I remember that."

"Damn you! One of them has a boyfriend this week, go stand in line, maybe you’ll get your turn next month."

Deep-fried Sweet Potato teased Ayu as they said goodbye, clearly good friends in real life.

But Deep-fried Sweet Potato’s words indeed revealed the current situation, leaving several new players who overheard the conversation thoughtful.

Old Qin didn’t say much more; he quickly discussed a plan of action with the Shadow Trace Sect, then after resupplying, led the four art students towards the location marked as the first spiritual energy node.
