Chapter 6 Sixth-Level Magic Array!

A hint of shock flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.

Don't underestimate the sixth-level magic array just because it can't compare to Lin Chen's ninth-level Zhanshen Array (God-Slaying Array).

Don't forget, this is in the wild.

To be able to casually pull out a sixth-level magic array, such strength is something even a 'tycoon' like Lin Chen can't currently achieve.

Is Lin Chen a 'tycoon'?

Indeed!

Before the game invaded reality, he borrowed money, used online loans, and all sorts of other methods, and later capitalized on his traffic through Kuaiyin (a short-video platform) product sales. He then invested all the money into the game when the prices plummeted.

The total investment was around forty to fifty million.

Given the rate at which game item prices were depreciating at the time, that number was effectively multiplied by a thousand, or even ten thousand!

You could say that Lin Chen invested four to five hundred billion during the peak period of *New World* to buy items and even resources in the game.

But even so, Lin Chen still lacked materials for arrays.

The reason for this was the special nature of arrays.

He didn't want low-level arrays because they weren't very useful.

And arrays level five and above consumed too many resources.

Like this time, Lin Chen had the inheritors of Icewind City set up arrays because it was a critical moment of life and death, and they had to resort to these special measures.

Lin Chen actually could cobble together two sets of third- or fourth-level arrays in his backpack.

But what good were third- or fourth-level arrays?

They could only deal with bosses below level 100, or at most suppress some level 120 mobs.

And Lin Chen didn't have enough materials for high-level arrays.

For the Zhanshen Array, Lin Chen had only collected one magic sacred stone so far.

He still needed the other seven essential treasures: Gengjin zhi Jing (Essence of Geng Metal), Dingfeng Zhu (Wind-Stabilizing Pearl), Yinlei Zhang (Hidden Thunder Staff), Shineng Jingjing (Stone Energy Crystal), Bishui Zhu (Water-Repelling Pearl), Jingling Mu (Elf Wood), and Shadian Jingqiu (Lightning Crystal Ball). In addition, he needed ninety-nine eighty-one ninth-level array flags.

The cost of just these array flags almost completely depleted the array materials that Zhang Chunlin's studio had acquired for him.

This was a huge investment.

After all, a ninth-level array flag required many low-level array flags to synthesize.

Of course, when the array was completed, its power would be immense.

The Zhanshen Array was called the "God-Slaying Array," and who knew, it might actually be able to slay a god.

Ninth-level arrays consumed a lot, but sixth-level arrays weren't cheap either.

Lin Chen saw that Mo Yi's array used Jingling Mu (Elf Wood) as its core.

This was also a material he needed.

And Lin Chen needed a total of eight of these core materials for a sixth-level array!

Lin Chen vaguely remembered that before the prices in *New World* dropped, a piece of Jingling Mu was worth three to four million gold coins, or more than three million RMB.

Why?

Because materials like Jingling Mu could support the consumption of a sixth-level array.

And a sixth-level array was enough to suppress a level 150 Boss!

Then again, the highest-level Boss in the game was only level 100 at first, and later it was raised to level 120. Taking the Heavenly Palace Chaos dungeon as an example, who would be rich enough to spend a piece of Jingling Mu, burning millions of dollars in one go, just to suppress a Boss?

This was also the tragedy of array masters.

But that was in the game.

Now, all of this had become reality.

In reality, you didn't have to be reluctant to spend.

Unless, you weren't afraid of dying!

At this moment, Lin Chen no longer hesitated.

He knew that although this white elf, Mo Yi, always had a cold expression, and he found her and the other white elves' actions annoying, the fact that she had brought out Jingling Mu meant that she wasn't deceiving him.

The monster nest was huge.

But the first thing Lin Chen saw upon entering was a Jiaolong (Flood Dragon) coiled at the highest point!

This was already a Boss that exceeded Lin Chen's knowledge.

Lin Chen had only played *New World* up to level 120, and he had never seen any Eastern dragon-like Bosses in any of the expansion packs… Although Lin Chen had never seen an Eastern dragon so far, he had now seen a Jiaolong.

Legend said that a snake transformed into a Jiaolong after five hundred years.

This creature looked extremely powerful!

Lin Chen's scalp tingled!

But when he thought that Mo Yi's array would reduce the Jiaolong's attributes by 50%, Lin Chen wasn't so scared anymore.

"I'll deal with you later!"

Lin Chen muttered to himself.

His gaze turned to the few Niumo (Bull Demons) that were squeezed into a corner of the monster nest.

Good heavens!

These were all level 130 Bosses!

But in this valley, they could only sit at the kids' table.

There were ten of them in total!

But they were all huddled in a corner of the valley.

"It's you guys!"

Lin Chen was very cautious.

What if this elf girl, Mo Yi, was lying?

He wouldn't take the risk of going straight for the Jiaolong.

He would definitely pick on a few soft targets first to test things out.

Lin Chen aimed at his target.

Then, his entire figure transformed into an afterimage.

Acceleration activated!

The speed was close to a thousand yards.

Then came Enchanted Crescent Slash!

It just so happened that these Bull Demons were all gathered together.

He would hit all ten of them at once!

This one skill alone made Lin Chen reveal a surprised expression…

Were the Bull Demons this weak?

It seemed that Mo Yi's 50% attribute suppression not only suppressed the monsters' attributes but also weakened their defense, because Lin Chen's attack directly caused the ten Bull Demons to share a total of more than six million damage!

Each Bull Demon Boss lost 650,000 health points!

And their current health was only two million.

In other words, Lin Chen's Enchanted Crescent Slash cut off 32.5% of the health of each of the ten level 130 Bosses!

At the same time, Lin Chen also discovered something…

The Enchanted Crescent Slash skill was strong, but it wasn't a bug, and he couldn't even use it as an area-of-effect skill, because this time Lin Chen's target was ten.

The damage value had changed.

It was no longer floating damage but fixed damage, which was then evenly shared by the ten targets.

That completely changed its nature!

It meant that Lin Chen still had to stack attributes!

Fortunately, the final damage calculation was still multiplied by a base number of targets, which was five.

In other words, the damage Lin Chen dealt with this attack was 200,400 points of double attack, multiplied by a skill damage coefficient of 6.8, and then multiplied by a base number damage effect of 5, which was approximately seven million damage.

Finally, after deducting defense reduction, the resulting damage value was six million.

This was the damage that Lin Chen's Enchanted Crescent Slash should have originally caused when hitting five targets at the same time.

Think about it.

If Lin Chen had attacked five Bull Demons instead of ten this time, wouldn't the health of those five Bull Demon Bosses have been reduced by 60%?

Therefore, Lin Chen felt that it would be better to continue with single-target burst damage.

He immediately chose an unlucky victim, one of the Bull Demons, and unleashed a skill.

He didn't plan to use forbidden spells.

He would save them for when he fought the Jiaolong.

Now, he would use Super Sliding Tackle, plus Enhanced Bludgeon and Enhanced Sneak Attack, this set of dishonorable rogue tactics. Lin Chen had actually thought about complaining about the names of these skills.

Sliding Tackle and Bludgeon were fine, but Enhanced Sneak Attack sounded very ordinary.

But it was still good.

At least, it wasn't too outrageous.

Ling Xiaoya, the electric-type mage, also had a forbidden spell.

Five-Consecutive-Lightning-Whip!

It was truly a forbidden spell.

And this skill was very powerful.

Of course, if Lin Chen wanted to learn it, he could also learn it.

After all, he was a Sky Walker.

Mo Yi's sixth-level array's suppressive power was indeed strong, which made Lin Chen think of his own Zhanshen Array.

That was even stronger!

As long as he was within the array's range, it would not only suppress his opponents but also amplify his own power!

At this moment, what Lin Chen was thinking was to finish the battle quickly.

He soon reduced one Bull Demon's health to 30%. Facing this Bull Demon Boss's Wild Dance skill, Lin Chen was too lazy to run. He chose to face it head-on!

When the Bull Demon fell, Lin Chen's health also dropped to around 90,000.

But it didn't matter, his health was still very healthy.

He devoured the Bull Demon's soul, and his experience points reached 88,000!

Next one.

At this time, some monsters in the monster nest saw what was happening in this corner.

Some monsters even roared, appearing very agitated.

However, the Jiaolong remained indifferent.

It didn't even lift its eyelids!

Completely ignoring this side.

Seeing that the Jiaolong didn't move, the other monsters continued to lie down and wait.

They seemed to obey the Jiaolong's orders.

Then Lin Chen naturally wouldn't be polite and continuously killed three Bull Demons.

His soul realm finally reached the eighth level!

At this time, Lin Chen didn't have time to check his attributes.

He only knew that all attributes had increased.

His attacks became even sharper.

However, Lin Chen's health was also decreasing.

Because he was almost always tanking the Bull Demon's Wild Dance to kill the monsters.

Although he was a Sky Walker, Lin Chen didn't have any healing skills, but that didn't matter. When there were only four Bull Demons left in the corner, Lin Chen did something naughty… He reduced the health of each Bull Demon Boss to 50%.

Then, Lin Chen used an Enchanted Crescent Slash, and all four Bull Demons started their Bull Demon Wild Dance.

At this time, Lin Chen didn't run away. Instead, he activated the Bloodlust skill on his equipment.

[Bloodlust (Gem skill, can be inlaid on weapon-type equipment), after active, gains a life-steal effect for thirty seconds. 20% of the damage from normal attacks and skills will be converted into the attacker's health. Magic consumption: 300, cooldown time: 5 minutes!]

A five-minute cooldown!

But it could give Lin Chen a life-steal effect for thirty seconds.

Lin Chen withstood the Wild Dance skills of the four Bull Demons, and because the Bull Demons' attributes were suppressed by 50%, the damage added up to no more than 40,000. Lin Chen constantly used attacks to steal health and quickly filled his health bar.

He forcefully survived the big move released by four level 130 Bosses at the same time!

If Lin Chen's feat was seen, it would definitely be shocking.

In fact, at this time, Mo Yi outside the valley had an unbelievable expression on her beautiful face…

Lin Chen was going crazy with killing!

As everyone knew, all high-output classes must be glass cannons!

But how could Lin Chen, a glass cannon class, withstand such an attack?
