Online Game: Don’t Heal the Others

When War Spirit Knife and the rest entered the Bonus Area, they did not bump into anyone. But when they came out, they encountered wave after wave of players. Thor was just the beginning. These players were getting nearer to the Bonus Area, so they were obviously trying to get there as well.

Huaxia district had little more than 30 people, and it was not considered small. Those smaller-sized groups ran away immediately, when they saw them. Those who were quite a distance away were let off, but Xiaofeng rode on Xiaoxue to chase after those who were near him and killed them. His murderous intent startled War Spirit Knife and the rest immensely.

The big-sized groups whom they ran into, would initiate to battle it out with the Chinese Zone. This was when Xiaofeng was the happiest, and was usually the fastest to react. These were Treasure Points right in front of him!

This caused War Spirit Knife and the rest to be worried sick for him, but how could they possibly match his speed? Besides, Xiaofeng did not give them any BUFF, so they felt all the more helpless.

After a round of maniac killing, Xiaofeng’s points shot up to 80,000. This was because none of the players who could get near to the Bonus Area, were lacking in points.

“Master Healer, aren’t you coming with us to the peripheral area?”

War Spirit Knife asked Xiaofeng, as they were just about to leave the inner area. This was because Xiaofeng did not have the intention to leave with them.

“I’ll stay here and look for people to kill.”

Xiaofeng had just tasted the sweetness of it, of course he was not going to leave the inner area. The players were more concentrated in the inner area, and everyone had quite a large amount of Treasure Points. The killings would be very effective.

“Then you be careful. Let us know if you need backup. We’re going.”

War Spirit Knife nodded, and did not waste too much time talking. He knew that Xiaofeng’s personal combat abilities were strong, and he was not afraid of operating alone. Hence, he left with his men, and headed towards the bigger team, in order to join them. Their War Spirit Hall was the third big team with Midsummer Guild, as the core.

Xiaofeng did not waste any time. He immediately dashed towards the Bonus Area. But instead of going in, he remained outside and searched for people to kill. His Treasure Points increased rapidly.

Xiaofeng was not the only one with that goal. While fighting, Xiaofeng met Thor and elite players from other districts more than once, including Emperor Dao from Toyo Zone.

However, the few of them tried to test each other a few times only. After realizing that their opponents were not easy, they turned around and started looking for other players. Right now, there was nothing that could be more important than gaining Treasure Points. Besides, this method also prevented the others from getting near the Bonus Area.

This was because the artifact would appear randomly. If it was to be snatched away by someone, their efforts would all be wasted. They would naturally avoid battling with experts. No one was confident of winning. If they died due to a mistake, it would be a fatal mistake.

Besides, Xiaofeng realized that Thor and some of the rest were especially fierce, as they even killed players from their own districts. More than once, Xiaofeng found Thor killing players from North American District. He did not spare them at all.

Although Xiaofeng had never killed Huaxia District players, he did run into a number of them. All of them wanted to secretly try out their luck, after knowing that the artifact was to be given in a random draw.

It was a pity that the inner area had already become a hunting ground for a bunch of elite players. Small players had no way to walk out of it alive, and even big teams were not safe. Facing someone like Thor who would use his thunder light chain to steal from a few people, and then be gone in a flash, they could only glare at him helplessly. After the cooldown, Thor would be back again to steal some more points, before running away again. This angered numerous players who hurled vulgarities at him.

The inner area was in an ultimate mess. People were killing each other everywhere. It was the playground of a bunch of elite players. They did not spare the expert players at all. Very soon, the island was filled with complaints everywhere, and everyone felt very uneasy.

The same went for the Huaxia District players who entered the inner area secretly. Even if Xiaofeng did not kill them, they would still be killed by other expert players. None of them would be able to enter the Bonus Area.

Of course, Huaxia District had its own expert players. Xiaofeng had met some of them before. Half of these expert players were from the Bleak guild. They also remained around the Bonus Area, and killed everyone they saw, accumulating Treasure Points crazily.

On the contrary, the Treasure Box Monsters were the safest in the inner area. Since the players could only gain less than 100 Treasure Points from killing one, no one bothered to go after the monsters.

The chaos in the inner area continued until the sun rose. Xiaofeng took a look at the time and saw that it was already 10 am. He was not too far away from the Bonus Area. Hence, he entered the safety area, and went offline to have a meal.

“Eh? Brother Xiao, you’re out of the game. Did you go offline, or did you run into any danger?”

Seeing that Xiao Ling was not on the bed, Xiaofeng felt that something was amiss. However, once he opened the door, he found Qian Duoduo walking out of her room in her pajamas. Once she saw him, she asked him immediately.

“No, I went offline at the safety area,” said Xiaofeng, as he continued to walk down the stairs.

“I knew it. Brother Xiao is so powerful, you will definitely not be killed.” Qian Duoduo heaved a sigh of relief and wrapped her arms around one of his, as she walked down with him.

“Have you eaten breakfast?”

Xiaofeng did not see Ning Keke, when he reached downstairs. She was probably tutoring Xiao Ling in her room. Hence, he did not bother to call for her. Instead, he decided to make something to eat. He turned towards Qian Duoduo and asked.

“I just woke up…”

Qian Duoduo answered somewhat embarrassedly. Seeing Xiaofeng entering the kitchen, she quickly followed.

“Brother Xiao, let me help you!”

Since it was already past 10 am and Xiaofeng did not intend to go offline again at noon, he made lunch directly, taking it as if it was two meals in one.

Qian Duoduo knew about his cooking skills, so she washed the vegetables diligently, pushing him to cook more. Next time, they would just reheat the leftovers. This was because she knew that it was rare for Xiaofeng to cook.

Xiaofeng did not reject her help. He also cooked Xiao Ling and Ning Keke’s portions, saving them the trouble to cook at noon.

He served up a delicious spread. Qian Duoduo put in a lot of effort to pressurize him, and he could not stand her nagging anymore, so he whipped up eight dishes and one soup at one go. It occupied half of the long table.

“Haha! Brother Xiao, when I grow up, I’ll definitely marry you!”

Qian Duoduo had a big smile on her face. She picked up her chopsticks happily and sniffed each dish. She appeared to be drooling.

“Eat your food.” Xiaofeng told her, and he also dug in.

He did not call Xiao Ling and Ning Keke to join them. Instead, he instructed Qian Duoduo to tell them to reheat the dishes, before eating them later. This was because it was not lunchtime yet. It was slightly earlier. Xiaofeng had to keep Xiao Ling’s mealtimes under strict control.

After lunch, Xiaofeng returned to his room to go online. He did not waste too much time. After a quick calculation, he realized that he was left with only half of the total time. He had to accumulate Treasure Points quickly.

Xiaofeng had 180,000 points at this point in time, and he kept them. Other than the three draws at the start, he did not take part in the lucky draw anymore. He planned to accumulate more, and use them all together.

The first thing he did after going online, was to quickly open up the server-wide artifacts leaderboard. After seeing the two artifacts from the Dragon Suit that he owned, he then heaved a sigh of relief. This meant that no one had gotten their hands on the artifacts yet. Otherwise, it would have appeared on the leaderboard.

After closing the server-wide artifacts leaderboard, Xiaofeng then realized that there were a number of players in the Bonus Area that he was in. Furthermore, majority of them were gathered in front of the lucky draw machine. This caused Xiaofeng to frown deeply.

Although they were on a killing spree in the inner area right from the start, it could not stop everyone from getting near to the Bonus Area.

Firstly there were too few elite players. Their numbers were insufficient to clear out the inner area. Quite a number of players were able to avoid them.

Secondly, those taking part in the event were all expert players. A number of them had strong backgrounds and were very powerful. Other than Xiaofeng, Thor, Emperor Dao, a few others were ‘sickening-powerful’. They faced no obstruction in the inner area. A number of elite players faced difficulties when fighting them. It only took a moment of distraction, and they would be killed.

There was this one time that Xiaofeng met a young man from the Bleak guild. He was being chased by a black player from the Native American District. That black player was obviously an archer, yet the arrows he shot were like grenades. It sent the teen Bleak guild player running for his life, while shielding his head.

This caused Xiaofeng to become much more low-profile. No matter how high his attribute was, he was just a priest. He heavily lacked attack power. The only ace card he had, was to make use of a powerful attack and dash in front of someone, and then use the Hammer of Judgment to kill him.

However, the elite players were not fools. Firstly, they would not give him many chances to get near them. Instead, they would choose to H&R Xiaofeng. Secondly, they all had a strong sense of combat, and would not let his attacks get the better of them so easily.

Take Thor, for example. It was the first time that Xiaofeng was using the Hammer of Judgment in front of him. However, Thor already sensed danger, while the hammer was still forming, and he escaped instantly, not giving Xiaofeng the chance to attack at all.

This was the capability of an elite player. None of them were easy to defeat, which was why they all avoided each other, when Xiaofeng encountered them in the inner area. No one was confident of winning.

Looking at the players crowding around the lucky draw machine in the Bonus Area, Xiaofeng felt a little anxious, and he frowned. He was only afraid that the artifacts would be taken away.

But he had no choice. They were already in the safety area. Xiaofeng could not make any more moves. Besides, it was meaningless to wait for them to come out. They would have already spent all their Treasure Points by then. Killing them would not get him anything. Instead, it would just be a waste of time.

This was just like why Thor guarded War Spirit Knife and the rest, but his killing intent was not strong. Even if War Spirit Xiaoxin and the rest were to dash out, they still let a few of them come back. He was too lazy to make a move.

They would have become a bunch of poor people. There was this Chinese saying that goes, ‘Do not press your enemy at bay’.

Xiaofeng could only leave the Bonus Area with a frown. He could also guess that after an artifact appears randomly in a draw, more players from the big districts would be coming to try their luck.
