As soon as the scheduled "Rebellious Thief" event was announced, players rushed to various maps.
This was also the most crowded time, with players quickly completing one task after another. When a team interacted with a "Rebellious Thief" and entered a "Dungeon," that "Rebellious Thief" would disappear, reducing the number of available event "Dungeons." Each team seemed to be competing for resources, not wanting to give way to one another.
At this point, the overall strength of the team and the speed of the captain would determine the number of "Rebellious Thiefs" they could encounter. Of course, the captain should also understand the basic knowledge about the event.
Three factors determine a team's number of encounters: First, understanding the number of "Rebellious Thiefs" in "Asking Heaven" and their locations; the captain should have their own route planned. Second, the overall strength of the team should be strong, preferably all attackers, to speed up encounters; using "Silver Dan Gourd" can help as well. Finally, a diligent captain is essential; speed is everything, and all responsibilities fall on the captain's shoulders.
Regarding encounter routes, Lufeng naturally had his own plan. He was well aware of the five major maps where "Rebellious Thiefs" appeared: Wuliang Mountain, Taihu, Songshan, Sword Pavilion, and Dunhuang. Generally, players would gather teams in Suzhou and Dali before rushing to Taihu, Wuliang Mountain, or Sword Pavilion in the first few minutes of the event.
The other two locations were more convenient; Taihu bordered Songshan, while Sword Pavilion bordered Dunhuang. Logically, players would travel from Taihu to Songshan or from Sword Pavilion to Dunhuang for encounters. Captains choosing to head to Wuliang Mountain were likely making a poor choice and would miss out on more encounters.
This time, Lufeng planned to use reverse thinking to secure encounters. Most players wouldn't think to gather at Dunhuang first; the least strategic captains would choose Wuliang Mountain, average captains would go for Taihu, slightly smarter ones would opt for Sword Pavilion, while the smartest would set off from Luoyang's southern or western gates—south to Songshan and west to Dunhuang.
Aunt Wang could be considered somewhat clever; he didn't use reverse thinking but started at Sword Pavilion and made his way to Dunhuang, likely crossing paths with Lufeng.
Compared to Aunt Wang, there were quite a few captains like Lufeng who employed reverse thinking: Royal Beauty, Bad Blade, Extreme Radiance, and Childish Can Also Become a God were among them.
Royal Beauty, Bad Blade, and Extreme Radiance silently set off from Luoyang's southern gate towards Songshan. Their teams met near Songshan and exchanged knowing smiles before dispersing to wait for encounter time.
Childish Can Also Become a God chose to gather his team at Yumen Pass Inn like Lufeng did.
In the first two minutes of the event, Lufeng and Childish Can Also Become a God smiled at each other at Yumen Pass; such camaraderie might only come once in a millennium.
Seeing Lufeng, Childish Can Also Become a God laughed heartily: "Brother Lufeng! Long time no see! It feels like ages since we last met. Who would have thought we’d both choose such a great place as Dunhuang? Truly a meeting of minds! Haha!"
Lufeng wiped away some virtual sweat and replied with a smile: "Godly Brother, please don’t think about me too much; my two wives might get jealous."
"Can’t you stop bragging? Two wives? Enough of that! The encounter time is almost here. Let’s not waste time chatting; you go south while I head north. Each route will have fifty 'Rebellious Thiefs.' Once we successfully complete ten encounters, those Sword Pavilion kids will probably rush over too. The timing should align perfectly! Oh right! Contact me if you don’t have 'Yellow Paper.' As far as I know, not many people have learned 'Close at Hand, Far Away,' so we’re about to make some serious profit! See you!"
After saying this, Childish Can Also Become a God waved goodbye to Lufeng and headed north towards Dunhuang with his two sisters and three other members from his team.
Lufeng found Childish Can Also Become a God quite mysterious; despite appearing sneaky with such an intimidating name that suggested immaturity, even his two sisters admired him. It was Childish Can Also Become a God who discovered the map for farming "Yellow Paper."
The encounter time was approaching quickly as Lufeng activated team follow mode for his teammates to keep pace with him while heading south towards Dunhuang...
The world of Asking Heaven is more than ten times larger than that of Heavenly Dragon, but at this moment, Sword Pavilion, Wuliang Mountain, and Taihu are crowded with people. If it weren't for the map being large enough, it would be a tight squeeze. Some players heading to Sword Pavilion and Taihu have taken the small paths towards Songshan and Dunhuang, ending up on the other side of Lufeng and Childish Can Also Become a God.
"Ding!"
System Announcement: The counter-attack event has officially begun!
"Quick—quick—quick—"
All players went wild. Those who didn't manage to get a Rebellious Thief quickly ran around, and every few meters, one could spot a Rebellious Thief. This was the time to test the team leader; as long as the leader was quick and smart enough, they would surely be the first to enter Bandit Camp Dungeon.
……
For Lufeng and others, this kind of competition for the counter-attack didn't exist at all. There was no one competing with them at Flame Bright Jade Gate Inn.
Upon seeing a Rebellious Thief, Lufeng calmly approached to talk.
Seeing Lufeng walk up, the Rebellious Thief, wielding a butcher's knife, disdainfully said, "Are you brave enough to follow me to the camp for a fight?"
Lufeng replied directly with a clever tactic he learned from Li Fan: "Are you afraid of me or something?"
"Ding—"
System prompt: Congratulations, Dungeon creation successful. Eliminate 30 Thief Soldiers and the Bandit Leader.
With just a simple sentence, Lufeng entered the Dungeon. Some less clever team leaders wasted time talking and ended up getting snatched by other teams, truly foolish.
Once inside Bandit Camp, Lufeng did not immediately exit the team but instead led his teammates to draw aggro from the Thief Soldiers, stopping at a fixed point while maintaining aggro with the lowlifes. Otherwise, the Thief Soldiers wouldn't continue following Lufeng, making their efforts pointless.
Lufeng had been to Bandit Camp during his previous trials and had farmed it countless times while playing Heavenly Dragon; he knew every detail within.
Understanding how to draw aggro was essential. It was impossible to pull all the way through the U-shaped passage in one go; Thief Soldiers had a range for their aggro. If players did not attack them within 50 meters, they would ignore them and return to their patrol routes. However, ignoring them completely was not an option because each spawned Dungeon was limited to 30 lowlifes and one boss. If the lowlifes were not defeated, the boss could not be drawn out. Therefore, maintaining aggro connection was crucial.
Lufeng exited the team follow mode by the first stream and then continued deeper alone, pulling out four lowlifes, resulting in a total of eight along with the original lowlifes.
After the Lowlife gathered, Gao Chao, Qin Shou, and Qiu Han quickly unleashed their group attack skills, completely ignoring the need to dodge, as that would only waste time. Only Lufeng and Wang Xiaojing could not release skills and instead maneuvered around the Lowlifes, while Murong Xiaoxiao stayed hidden outside the battle, continuously healing them.
“-3252”
“-3158”
“-4580”
“-1856”
……
Countless damage numbers floated above the heads of the Rebel Thugs, while Lufeng and the others lost over a hundred health points per second, which was basically negligible. After just over ten seconds, Murong Xiaoxiao could easily heal back the thousand-plus health points they had lost, making the fight very easy. In less than a minute, they had taken down eight Rebel Thugs.
Gao Chao couldn't help but shout, “This is exhilarating! Grinding in the Dungeon with the boss is just awesome.”
“Of course! Just look at the boss's Sunglasses Cat. One swipe does more damage than both of us combined!” Qin Shou chimed in.
Qin Shou, who normally wouldn't feel too inferior, found himself feeling small in front of Sunglasses Cat. The cat's attacks were incredibly sharp; with one swipe, a Rebel Thug would lose four to five thousand health points. If it learned group skills, it could easily match the attacks of two or three players, leaving Qin Shou envious.
