Chapter 16 Goblin Lure

In the blink of an eye, Ye Xiu, Tang Rou, and Baozi Invasion had attracted over 20 goblins. Ye Xiu's rapid shifts in perspective were enough to make the average person dizzy. He not only had to take care of the goblins he was holding back, but also pay attention to the overall situation on the field.

Su Mucheng was no cause for concern, and Ye Xiu wasn't worried about Tang Rou's strong will either, he was only afraid she'd overdo it. But the one he was most worried about was Baozi Invasion. This noob's way of thinking was as vast as the open sea, and mortals couldn't even begin to guess at it. If it were Su Mucheng, Ye Xiu could predict her potential mistakes, and Tang Rou was about the same, but Baozi Invasion… Ye Xiu couldn't predict what kind of blunder this guy would make. This bottomless feeling made Ye Xiu's heart feel cold.

At least for Another Love Seeking Trouble, after a few days of practice, Ye Xiu had already seen that this person definitely wasn't a new player. This person's absolute hand speed might be a bit lower than Baozi Invasion's, but his mastery of control was better. He definitely had a few years of Glory experience. Moreover, this person's role in the team was basically a mindless DPS, and while not doing it well would lower the speed, it wouldn't create any chaotic situations.

The current situation was relatively stable, but this "one-wave push" strategy didn't gather a certain number of monsters and then stop to kill them. Instead, they continued to drag in new monsters while killing. The current 20 wasn't the limit, and the pressure would continue to increase as they pushed forward.

Su Mucheng opened up another three monsters, bringing the total number of startled goblins to 26. This was already more than the total number of goblins that Ye Xiu and the Blue Brook Guild's four-man team had attracted when they broke the limit.

Now that the 26 goblins were divided among three people, the pressure from a tanking perspective was definitely less than when Ye Xiu was carrying 26 alone. But to gather the monsters, they needed three people to coordinate, which was a different kind of difficulty than that day. Team cooperation was always more difficult than individual performance, but once it was formed, the power was much greater.

These past few days of dungeon training had been focused on this kind of cooperation. Although Tang Rou and Baozi Invasion weren't very familiar with Glory, Ye Xiu had practically taught them the Ice霜森林 (Bing Shuang Senlin) dungeon segment by rote. At this point, they might not know why they were doing certain things, but they firmly remembered that they should do them.

Interspersed positioning.

Using knock-ups, knock-backs, knock-downs, and other attack methods to gather the monsters.

In addition, they had to pay attention to having a clear output plan, which monsters to kill first, which to let go for a bit, which to place outside the circle, and which to retreat to the Gunners and Elementalist's attacks...

With such complicated operations, ordinary skilled players simply couldn't take care of everything. That's why they needed an operation expert like Tang Rou. Baozi Invasion's hand speed was a bit worse than Tang Rou's, but it was enough to deal with the current situation, as long as he didn't suddenly have a noob attack.

Su Mucheng fired another cannon and opened up two more monsters, bringing the total to 28. After so much practice, Tang Rou and the others already had a good understanding of the strategy. Reaching this point, they all felt a bit relieved. Because in the practice runs, 28 was their limit, and they had to stop here to kill for a while before continuing.

But who would have thought that after the 28 goblins this time, Su Mucheng's Wind Comb Clearing Smoke continued to run forward. After a few steps, two more small monsters entered her range, and without hesitation, she fired a cannon.

"Ah!" Tang Rou cried out in surprise. Wouldn't this open up 30 goblins? She had been cooperating with this girl in dungeons for two days and had never seen her make a single mistake. Who knew that when it was time to break the record, she would immediately make a mistake.

"How did two more come? Did we make a mistake?" Even Baozi Invasion felt that something was wrong. He was already at his limit. If more goblins came, he wouldn't be able to take care of them at all. What they had to do wasn't just lure the monsters and then persist in not dying. They also had to arrange all the monsters according to their wishes. Currently, Baozi Invasion controlled eight goblins, and he couldn't take care of any more.

"No mistake, keep going!" Ye Xiu replied.

"Two more, who's coming?" Tang Rou asked.

"You can still do it, right?" Ye Xiu said. Tang Rou was also controlling eight goblins, but with her hand speed being a bit higher than Baozi Invasion's, she could handle two more.

"Okay, I'll do it!" Tang Rou didn't say much. Cold Smoke Soft went forward, snatched the aggro of the two goblins, positioned herself, and blasted a Fallen Flower Palm, directly hitting them into the formation. She then rushed back, and all ten goblins were under her control.

Then there was another cannon sound. Wind Comb Clearing Smoke had opened up another two goblins.

Tang Rou was shocked. She was already barely managing ten goblins, and if there were more, she might not be able to take care of them all. Not being able to take care of them didn't mean that one stray monster would cause them to wipe out, but that the monster she couldn't take care of would be outside their damage range, and it would take them a little more time to deal with it.

Time! This was the most important thing for this dungeon run.

They weren't just aiming to defeat these big and small monsters, but more importantly, to snatch the fastest time.

They couldn't take care of it, right? Although Tang Rou had this suspicion in her heart, with her personality, she would never say it out loud without trying it first.

Baozi Invasion had lured eight goblins, Tang Rou had eight, and Ye Xiu had lured twelve, which was four more than each of them.

Baozi Invasion had reached his limit and couldn't take any more. Tang Rou had just called for two more, reaching ten. Although she had two fewer than Ye Xiu, she was clear that she and Ye Xiu were different. But Tang Rou didn't think that this difference was in hand speed. She thought it was in her understanding of Glory.

So seeing that Ye Xiu could control 12, Tang Rou thought that she might be able to do it too. Perhaps it was because she wasn't familiar with the game that she was making inaccurate judgments?

These many thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant. Tang Rou had accurately told Cold Smoke Soft to go again, but she didn't expect Ye Xiu's Lord Grim to rush out first, stealing the aggro of the two goblins with a similar technique to the one Tang Rou had used earlier, and blasting them into the formation.

14! This was the total number of goblins that Ye Xiu was currently dealing with.

Six more than Baozi Invasion, and four more than Tang Rou.

Tang Rou was surprised. This person hadn't reached his limit yet?

Before she could come back to her senses! There was another cannon sound, and Wind Comb Clearing Smoke had opened up two more small monsters.

"Could it be..." When Tang Rou had this thought, she saw Lord Grim rush out again, taking over two more small monsters, bringing the total to 16.

The difference was only in understanding the game?

Tang Rou's previous thought began to waver. It was a pity that she wasn't sitting next to Ye Xiu at this time. She really wanted to see if this person's hands were faster than hers.

"Boom!" The cannon sounded again.

Tang Rou stared blankly at Wind Comb Clearing Smoke. She didn't believe that this cannon was still opening up monsters. This was output, it was output, right?

What she saw... was Wind Comb Clearing Smoke's cannon just turning back, and only then starting to output.

Two more lively goblins rushed over.

18! Could that guy still handle it?

10, Tang Rou barely managed.

12, she had a mind to try.

14, it was to the point that she felt surprised.

16, she began to truly realize that the difference between her and Ye Xiu wasn't just in their understanding of the game.

18... Tang Rou couldn't find the words to describe her current feelings. She just saw Lord Grim rush out again, pulling the two new monsters into the formation.

For a moment, Tang Rou felt like this was a very long road. Things she didn't understand could be learned, experience could be accumulated, and awareness could be improved. But this hand speed... Tang Rou felt that her hand speed was already at its limit, but now she knew that there were people beyond people.

But then she heard another cannon sound.

Tang Rou was numb. Perhaps there would be 22, 24, 26... later. Was it okay to be so surprised now?

Wind Comb Clearing Smoke really didn't disappoint her, and the rhythm of opening up monsters didn't slow down at all.

"Is this person without a limit..." Tang Rou thought silently.

But unexpectedly, this time it wasn't Lord Grim who rushed out to receive the monsters, but Baozi Invasion.

Tang Rou was shocked. Could this kid also be bottomless? Noobs were indeed scary.

Baozi Invasion quickly brought back two goblins, operating nimbly.

Tang Rou felt that she could only watch silently. Watching and watching, she suddenly froze: "Baozi, why are you missing two?"

"Where are two missing?" Baozi Invasion was puzzled.

"Didn't you just attract two more?" Tang Rou asked.

"Yeah!"

"Adding the eight you had before, shouldn't it be ten? Why is it still eight?" Tang Rou asked.

"Two of them died just now!" Baozi Invasion said.

Ye Xiu heard their conversation, but he was just puzzled. Which of these two was the noob? Just now, the two goblins under Baozi Invasion's control had fallen, and Ye Xiu was about to remind him to take over the monsters when Baozi Invasion rushed up first. Ye Xiu was still sighing at how clever Baozi was today when Tang Rou was here, confused, doing some arithmetic problems.

"Died?" Tang Rou hadn't come back to her senses yet.

"Today we all changed our weapons, and our output is stronger, so the situation is different from when we practiced. Now we don't need to stop and kill monsters, we can just rush forward like this, killing as we go." Su Mucheng seemed to have seen what Tang Rou was confused about, and explained it briefly.

"Oh!" Tang Rou suddenly understood.

"We usually practice the intention, and now that we have level 25 weapons, we can really achieve it. Keep it up!" Su Mucheng said.

"Understood." Tang Rou responded, taking a long breath. It turned out that the difference was just something that she had imagined in her confused state.

"How many monsters did you lure?" Tang Rou asked Ye Xiu.

"16." Ye Xiu said.

"#￥%...&" Tang Rou was in tears. It turned out that it wasn't an illusion. The difference was really there!
