Novel Bin Chapter 127
“For the players, Midnight Invasions was fraught with danger. ”
“Because each time it was activated, a large number of demonic beasts would invade the city. ”
“Some would emerge from the ground, and some seemed to charge out of the ancient forest... ”
“The slightest bit of carelessness, and players might end up completely surrounded by demonic beasts. ”
“Should that happen, they could only await death. ”
“On the first night of Midnight Invasions, 100,000 people had died... ”
The number of deaths on the second night of Midnight Invasions would not be too far off.
...
Cloth Bag and his group were fighting demonic beasts outside Night City.
“The undead swordsman said with a melancholic expression, “”Why is it that other players cannot enter Night City, but we can come out?”” ”
“Cloud Toppling replied, “”Maybe it’s because of the title above our heads!”” ”
“””Professional Competition Contestant!”” ”
The undead swordsman lifted his head and looked at the title above him.
He had not noticed it before.
It seemed that the title had appeared after they had successfully registered for the competition.
“””Have you all considered that this title might bring us trouble...?”” ”
“””Look at those demonic beasts that have come out due to Midnight Invasions. They’re charging towards us!”” ”
The undead swordsman looked over worriedly.
“The next second, Cloth Bag used Horizontal Shift to appear in front of him. ”
“The undead swordsman had already been prepared to fight those demonic beasts. However, who would have known that Cloth Bag intended to deal with them himself? ”
“””Cloth Bag, do you have enough stamina?”” ”
The undead swordsman asked.
“After his question, Cloth Bag did not respond. He simply raised his hand. ”
“As a fist-type class, a Holy Dragon had the ability to master much more powerful offensive skills. ”
[Holy Dragon Fist!]
“A Fist Shadow suddenly covered Cloth Bag’s fist, and then expanded. ”
“As the Fist Shadow condensed into formation, a divine dragon appeared... ”
It was the divine dragon image that came with the Holy Dragon class.
“The divine dragon image was not just for show. If attacked, it could also inflict additional damage. ”
“When the charging demonic beasts saw the divine dragon image, they were stunned for a moment. ”
“But very quickly, their expressions turned savage. ”
“They doubled their speed and put their heads down, as if they intended to ram those people to death. ”
“””Die!”” ”
A voice came from Cloth Bag.
“At the same time, a fist smashed down and the divine dragon image covered the demonic beast’s body. ”
“To everyone’s surprise, the skin of the demonic beast started to show traces of cracking. Then it burst open from the inside... ”
Boom!
The platinum grade demonic beast died instantly!
“After killing one demonic beast, Cloth Bag moved quicker and attacked the other platinum grade demonic beasts. ”
“””Cloth Bag!”” ”
“””His class is simply too strong!”” ”
The undead swordsman behind him exclaimed.
“Just then, Cloth Bag killed a platinum grade (tier 1) demonic beast, which earned him five points. ”
One wave came after another.
“As demonic beasts kept falling, Cloth Bag felt his stamina run low. ”
“However, his points kept increasing from time to time. ”
“Very soon, Cloth Bag appeared at the top of the leaderboard on the Professional Competition panel. ”
[Leaderboard]
[Cloth Bag: 55 points]
[Singer Qiqi: 42 points]
[...]
[Pine Tree: 13 points]
[Wildflower: 12 points]
[...]
[Unbeatable: 0 Points!]
[Whitey: 0 Points!]
...
Many players were so focused on fighting demonic beasts that they did not notice that their rankings had appeared.
“At the bottom section of the leaderboard, there was a line in fine print. ”
“””When the first night ends, players with less than five points will be expelled from Night City! They will be disqualified from the Professional Competition!”” ”
“When the players finally realized, they were dumbfounded. ”
“””F*ck!”” ”
“””Who’s the person ranked first? Cloth Bag? Why haven’t I heard of this name before?”” ”
“””I know the one who’s ranked second, Singer Qiqi. He’s a member of Xilong Guild, although he’s already left the guild...”” ”
“””Wait a minute. Players who don’t have enough points will be kicked out of Night City! F*ck...”” ”
“””I was just thinking of escaping, to see if I can survive the demonic beast invasion. Now you’re telling me I’ll be kicked out!”” ”
“””The stress on me has increased significantly!”” ”
“””I want to know how the other classes deal with these demonic beasts!”” ”
“””These demonic beasts are all extremely huge, gold grade and above...who can beat them!”” ”
The players were all busily discussing on the regional channel.
“Just then, from one of the city gates, a demonic tune rose up and enveloped a demonic beast’s body. ”
Boom!
“After Singer Qiqi blew the flute, the demonic tune suddenly exploded. ”
Those demonic beasts had never seen such a bizarre demonic tune attack. All of them suffered serious injuries.
“Following that, Singer Qiqi took out a lute from behind. ”
“Before changing his class, he could use all kinds of musical instruments as weapons. ”
“During his class change, he could select the musical instrument he was most adept at and change to a related class. For example, a lute mage, a piano spellcaster... ”
“””Wait!”” ”
“””A lute!”” ”
The players who were watching the battle nearby looked at the weapon in Singer Qiqi’s hands.
They did not expect him to be able to switch weapons.
“The next moment, the sound of the lute being played was heard... ”
“Clang, clang, clang! ”
“The sound of each string being strummed rang in the air. It was sharper than the sound of the piano, and its power was far greater. ”
Boom!
“Singer Qiqi’s fingers played continuously, causing a surge in demonic tunes that bombarded the demonic beasts. ”
That was a continuous attack.
“As long as the attack kept going, a bonus effect could be attained. ”
[Demonic Lute]
“[Skill Description: Every attack causes magic damage. In a continuous attack, the effects of each layer of attack can be stacked. Each layer of attack will increase intelligence by 5% and increase casting speed by 5%, up to a maximum of 10 layers! Reminder: When used continuously, a large amount of mana will be expended.] ”
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Demonic tunes continuously struck the bodies of the demonic beasts.
“There were only effects from one layer of attack at the beginning. Later, it reached 10 layers. ”
Maximum Layer Bonus: Additional 50% intelligence! Additional 50% casting speed!
“With the maximum layer bonus, Singer Qiqi’s spellcasting increased in speed, and the frequency of his attacks doubled. ”
The players watching from the side were flabbergasted.
“””F*ck!”” ”
“””This is the Demonic Tune class???”” ”
“””F*ck, this damage is even more violent than a warrior’s!”” ”
“””You guys must take a look at the effects that his Demonic Lute carries!”” ”
“””Intelligence increases 50%, spellcasting speed increases 50%. If your strength increased by 50%, even you could excel!”” ”
“””Oh my God, I’m so envious! Why doesn’t my class have such a skill?”” ”
There were continuous exclamations from the players.
Singer Qiqi was not at all affected. He kept playing the lute and killing the demonic beasts.
“Soon, he was closing in on Cloth Bag in terms of points. ”
[Cloth Bag: 75 points]
[Singer Qiqi: 67 points]
...
“With the appearance of the two highly-skilled players, the world channel was in an uproar. ”
“Other players only had about 10 points. Yet, there were such highly-skilled players in Night City. ”
“””F*ck!”” ”
“””Who said there weren’t geniuses in the Professional Competition! If these two aren’t geniuses, who is?”” ”
“””Hidden Dragon Guild’s quota will probably be filled by them!”” ”
“””The Professional Competition will only select one official member and four trainee members! We definitely won’t be able to compete with these people...”” ”
