Players are not all the same.

Just as there are various types of people in this world, the ways in which everyone enjoys themselves aren’t the same, and even their definitions of "joy" subtly differ.

For instance, the majority of players in the game enjoy the wonderful freedom of this "second life", but there are also peculiar individuals who prefer living within the confines of strict discipline and a united group.

Take, for example, Happy Stick, who just concluded today’s enjoyment of "Strategizing and Deploying".

Ever since Wumeioge lured him into the game, Happy Stick has been constantly indulging in the art of command and the joy of team combat. You rarely see him set off alone to do something just like a qualified commander would always stay with his subordinates and soldiers.

This guy and the nine brothers of the Tiger Leopard Riders have practically become "Siamese twins".

They always show up at the agreed time and log off simultaneously, taking pride in this synchronized action.

However, even for those who relish the security in being part of a group, there are tasks that have to be completed alone, like the rigorous measures of the Black Iron Trial. This task is about individual strength enhancement, and others’ participation wouldn’t count.

But Happy Stick had already perceived a revelation from Little Wei Ming’s "small miracle" which led to a perfect plan in his mind.

"Stick Brother, will this plan work?"

The nine brothers of the Tiger Leopard Riders were, as instructed by Happy Stick, frequently sprinkling down flammable oil around a carefully selected dead-end of a sewer.

The burning oils were purchased at a high price from Cui Si’s alchemical house. Having undergone alchemical treatment, they do not have any unnecessary odor. Furthermore, the Burning Glue makes their burning fierce and rapid. You could basically call them the fantasy version of "downgraded Molotov cocktails".

The leader of the Tiger Leopard Riders, "Lin", a tall Shandong man wielding a bloody battle spear, expressed his concerns to Happy Stick, who was busy preparing:

"Didn’t the task say that it has to be completed individually without any outside help? Will our set-up fail the mission for you? We wouldn’t want you to successfully meet the challenge but waste all the effort."

"I had the same concern before, but Wei Ming’s experience assured me that this is feasible."

Happy Stick was not clad in his masterfully crafted old soldier set. Instead, he was wearing a suit of plain armor made of special material.

This armor, also a product from Lady Cui Si’s alchemy, has no enhancement properties and its weight makes it unsuitable for young players to wear for an extended period. Its only advantage is that it’s incredibly sturdy and can resist fire, providing a 75% reduction to flame damage.

Having fastened his gauntlet and looking at the evenly laid flammable alchemical oil, Stick Brother explained to the approaching Tiger Leopard Riders:

"Little Wei Ming believed in the 100% authenticity of this game, so she thought that certain rules could be copied from real life. Indeed, her speculation was proven correct by her precise assassinations followed by charging forward to finish off the weakened elites.

This is a great method but sadly, it only suits ranged professions.

We close-quarters fighters must find alternative paths.

But if Wei Ming can incorporate reality, then so can we! Look at the oil layout in front of us. It’s a trap I set for the Black Iron Trial! The rules specify that no one can assist you, but don’t mention anything about setting up traps, right?

To turn the impossible into possible, you have to seize all the existing loopholes and use them properly, like our choice of location.

Once the Elite Ghoul rushes in, by blocking off the exit, I can cut off its escape route.

Next is the fire!

I consulted some references and even asked the veterans in the camp. They assured me that flames could suppress the ferocity of Ghouls, putting them into a a state of ’fear’, and once ignited, the decayed bodies of Ghouls, which emit a foul odor, are hard to extinguish.

It’s equivalent to applying a burning DEBUFF on them.

Of course, the most crucial part is that both individual strength and health points must exceed a certain standard. Otherwise, even with the trap set, you wouldn’t be able to withstand the crazy clawing of the Elite Ghoul, its carried undead venom, and the constant flame damage nearby."

As Happy Stick explained his strategy, he picked up his sword and shield.

He was a rare player who had already changed his profession twice. His primary profession was of course gunner, but unlike Reed, he was not proficient in long-range combat, and had a specialty in "Firepower Suppression".

His secondary profession was a sword and shield warrior, a close-combat defensive profession that could be unlocked by visiting veterans in the survivor’s camp. All its stats and specialties were mediocre and unremarkable.

Happy Stick chose this profession because of its remarkable versatility.

Theoretically speaking, the more ordinary a profession is, the more branches it can extend into, offering more career routes to choose from.

The family guardian war blade in his hand was adorned with a pattern of night bats and enveloped in burning Spiritual Energy. The weapon had been enchanted by Lady Cui Si, making it more effective when used against evil creatures like the Ghouls that live in wet and dark places.

In order to set up the trap, Happy Stick had almost depleted all the savings on his and his brothers’ hands.

But he thought it was worth it.

"We have always been trying to conquer the underground hideout of the nearby gang. We have already killed several normal Ghouls, and this is a perfect opportunity to get rid of those Elite bosses blocking our way!"
