Chapter 436: Chapter 420: Letâs go, letâs hunt together!
Translator: 549690339
Yi spent a good while apologizing in his live broadcast room, so much so that even the shopkeeper who sells headphones started sending him gifts, which made him quickly wrap up that segment.
Otherwise, he was genuinely afraid that he wouldnât be able to play multiplayer games in the future.
Even tonightâs situation wasnât really suitable for him to engage in multiplayer battle in Night City â he would definitely be sought out and attacked!
Without his fans protecting him, he would undeniably be cornered all the way to his respawn point and killed.
The âHeikeâ ninja, renowned for their assassination skills, did pose a considerable threat to those camping at respawn points, but this was a cost they could bear.
As long as there were enough people, divided into seven or eight different groups, they could take turns camping the respawn point.
During these respawn point camps, they just had to remember to let different people land the final blow each time, which would stall the ninjaâs appearance as much as possible.
Even if the ninja appeared and one group got wiped out, it was no big deal, the next group would just step up to continue the cycle.
As long as sufficient people were present, someone could always be camped.
So, how does one deal with this predicament?
Of course, by calling in an equally large number of people!
Specifically, for Yi, he needs his fans for protection and a large enough number of them to counterbalance the enemy forces.
But hereâs the problem: Can his fans organize such a large number of people?
Keep in mind, those who wanted to hunt him down this time were likely to number in the âtens of thousandsâ.
Although itâs unlikely all of them would come at once, the actual number of people he needed to face was much less than that. But a more severe problem was that compared to protecting him, the majority of Yiâs fans would prefer to enjoy the show, or even join the other side to attack himâŠ
As for not playing multiplayer and opting for single-player?
No, no, after completing the main missions, single-player games simply couldnât produce much of an entertaining performance.
Would Yi give up the entertainment factor and just get by?
Heâd rather be camped and killed at respawn points.
Even though his gaming experience would be poor, at least his audience could enjoy the spectacle.
After pondering for a long time, Yi still couldnât figure out what to stream.
Until a viewer suddenly asked: âYi, can you use flash bombs in âParadiseâsâ wilderness?â
âWilderness? Sounds feasible, Iâve used it in the amusement park before, put it away before it could react to any stimuli, why do you ask?â Yi replied in confusion.
âTry it, try it! If it works, go hunting! The hunting group is short on crowd control!â
âHunting group??â Yi was full of question marks, âWhat is that?â
âItâs Huâs Hunting Group!â
âSo what exactly is this [Huâs Hunting Group] youâre talking about?â Yi asked, while starting a search for related information.
The first search result was a video: âHuâs Hunting Group â Hunting the Leopard!â
The second result was a Vortex Forum post: âHuâs Hunting Group, First Recruitment!â
The third was also a Vortex Forums post, but the title had obviously changed perspectives: âHuâs Hunting Group? Whatâs with these people!â
Yi, quite interested, clicked on the video.
At the beginning of the video, a player named âHuâ was crouching in the grass, trying to approach a leopard not far away, with four other players following him.
However, one of those following tripped up and made a bit too much noise, causing the leopard to turn around and charge at them without hesitation!
The several players didnât panic when they saw the leopard incoming but stood up to fight.
Two of them wielded thin iron spears, and the remaining three held disassembled stool legs, ready to fight the leopard, their actions were spectacular.
Finding weapons in a virtual amusement park was much harder than in reality.
At least in a real amusement park, there are security offices and fire stations where one could find a decent amount of stuff.
However, in a virtual amusement park, neither of these things exists ââ after all, even in the event of a fire, it wouldnât cause any harm to the players.
âThis is intense!â Yi exclaimed.
Not just him, but many players in the broadcast room were also surprised to learn for the first time that there was such a way to play the game.
But just when everyone thought that these five players were about to kill the leopard, the leopard dodged the spears and pounced on a player.
Then, despite being hit by multiple stool legs, the leopard still managed to bite the playerâs neck.
Then anotherâŠ
In less than thirty seconds, all five players were killed off, with only the leading âHuâ succeeding in punching a hole in the leopard.
Yi and his audience were a bit taken aback.
The scene then cut to the same five players, restarting their fight.
Then they wiped out againâŠ
They regrouped and fought again, only to wipe out once moreâŠ
The scenes then went into five-times speed, showing repeated failures with the group continuously getting mauled and eaten by the leopard.
However, during this, their cooperation became more and more tacit, and the injuries inflicted on the leopard became increasingly severe.
Finally, after one last round, Hu seized the opportunity, threw himself onto the leopard, pressing it underneath him.
His teammates seized the opportunity, while the leopard could not escape Huâs grasp, they gave their all to pin the leopard to the ground!
With two dead and two injured, the hunt was successful!
âImpressive!â Yi exclaimed once again.
He casually clicked into the account homepage and immediately found that although this account wasnât very popular, they had a high video production rate.
According to the history of the posts, they started with a team of three catching sheep and hunting deer, then they turned to carnivorous animals: lynxes, clouded leopards, wolves, hyenas, black bears.
There were successes and failures.
The team members varied in number and were frequently changed.
The hunting of the leopard he had just watched was their latest and most glorious achievement.
Without hesitation, Yi opened the recruitment post, curious about the requirements needed to join such a formidable team and whether he could meet them.
âRecruitment conditions: Have free time, fearless, has stable online hours.â
â????â Yi was surprised by this requirement, âThatâs it?â
Looking at those people who were so bold that they dared to wrestle a leopard with a stool leg, he had thought it might require some sort of âthree years of hunting, five years of hand-to-hand combatâ experience or somethingâŠ
Turns out, anyone can join!
âThis is too rash!â Yi couldnât help but exclaim.
As he complained, he clicked on the third search result.
It turned out to be a group of âkind-hearted peopleâ strongly opposing the primitive hunting behavior in âParadise,â a game that is harmonious, friendly, healthy, and showcases the beauty of nature.
They deemed this behavior as excessively violent and bloody, completely inappropriate, even calling for all players to boycott such actions.
âOh, a boycott.â Yi nodded absentmindedly, âGood luck with that.â
He then promptly closed the page and started to contact Hu â Hu had left his account ID in the initial recruitment post.
As it was peak time for players to be online plus Huâs team had bolstered their strength and accumulated enough experience and were planning to take down a tiger, Hu was naturally online too.
The communication ran smoothly.
Although Hu didnât know much about Yi, only that he was a streamer, Hu was very enthusiastic about any players who had the same interests or even just interested in hunting. ÆrÄenovelkiss.com
Upon hearing someone wanted to join, without waiting for Yi to showcase his âflash bomb,â Hu immediately welcomed him with great enthusiasm.
He was eager for talents!
After adding each other as friends, Yi immediately logged into âParadiseâ.
But after appearing in the amusement park, he suddenly remembered something. Instead of rushing to meet Hu in the wilderness, he turned around and left the amusement park.
Without any sensation of changing the map, he smoothly arrived at the streets of the Metropolis.
He felt around and found that the gun and spare magazine he always wore in the Metropolis had appeared on his waist.
He backed up and re-entered the amusement park, and the gun disappeared again.
â This was to be expected, and Yi didnât feel disappointed.
He returned to the Metropolis again and easily found a fire axe, taking it with him into the amusement park.
Unfortunately, the axe also disappeared.
âOkay, that was expected too.â Yi sighed, these attempts were probably made by Hu already.
But he was still not ready to give up: âSo, what about armor?â
Yi directly private messaged Hu: âCan we hunt while wearing bulletproof vests?â
âYou canât bring armor here, and even if you could, I wouldnât recommend wearing it. Itâs not effective and itâs not flexible.â Hu replied.
When wild beasts attack, they often aim at weak spots like the neck and groin, which ordinary bulletproof vests canât protect.
On top of being too heavy, it significantly impairs flexibility. And when facing agile beasts, lack of flexibility often means death.
So the members of Huâs team never consider layering up with winter clothes for extra protection, they always fight in casual clothes.
âWhat about a bulletproof suit? Does it also greatly affect agility?â Yi continued to ask.
â????â Hu replied with three question marks. âWhatâs that?â
â??????â Yi immediately sent back twice as many question marks.
âHavenât you played âSpeed Chaseâ?â
Thđź most uptodate novđls are publishđd on Æreewebηoveâ.com.
âNo.â Hu answered concisely, âItâs just people fighting each other, itâs not interesting, one game is enough.â
âAlright then.â This was something Yi did not expect, âWait a bit, Iâm going to show you something good.â
After that, Yi immediately logged into Night City to change his clothes.
Bulletproof suits are considered high-tech, they are lightweight and barely affect agility.
But the problem is, as a gamer who plays online games all day, always wearing the same suit can become tiresome.
Players from Daxia donât like to wear suits much in their daily lives â compared to sportswear, the comfort level of suits just doesnât measure up.
Moreover, the style and form of a suit inherently has its restrictions, it definitely wonât be as flexible as sportswear when moving.
So, despite the bulletproof suit being pretty good, many players, including Yi, donât like to wear them when playing games daily.
Only when they are prepared to fight, will they arm themselves fully by putting on all they can.
The main reason why Yi thought of this thing now was â it has both the properties of âclothingâ and âarmorâ.
It can be seen as a suit-shaped armor made, or just a suit made of high-polymer fiber materials.
So, maybe he can wear it in?
Five minutes later, Yi entered the amusement park again.
âHahaha!â Touching the bulletproof suit still intact on his body, Yi burst out laughing: âIâm such a genius! Letâs get the wilderness hunting going!â
Filled with the excitement and joy of successfully exploiting the gameâs bugs, he started the off-road vehicle newly added to the amusement park without a second thought and sped to where Hu was.
Above Yi, a giant hot air balloon rose from the amusement park and slowly drifted toward the wilderness.
This was a new amusement facility added last week, now it was quite popular.
In the hot air balloon, one player looked down at Yiâs car speeding out of the amusement park, confusedly asking his friend, âWhatâs going on these two days? Why so many people going to the wilderness every day?â
âWho knows? Yesterday a bunch of people went crazy saying there was a dragon in the wilderness. Donât know how many people rushed in to look for it, after spending the whole night there, didnât find shit.â
âIs that what these people are doing today?â
âDoesnât seem like itâŠâ The friend shook his head, âOh well, forget about them, letâs look at the snow-covered mountains in the distance!â
At this moment, they were standing in the basket of the hot air balloon, beneath their feet was the vast grassland, as far as they could see were herds of migrating elephants, winding valleys, patches of scattered forests, basically a typical tropical grassland scenery.
But at the end of their line of sight, stood a majestic snowy peak, as broad and tall as the whole world. It shone with an incredible white light under the sunlight.
This was Lincolnâs style, in memory of a writer he admired.
