Chapter 129 Commander
Eight [Starry Sky Lion Kings] appeared at once, immediately throwing the players of the Red Card family into a frenzy.
Zhou Nan, possessing the ability to perceive, immediately discerned that seven of the eight [Starry Sky Lion Kings] were illusions. He then shouted, "Attack the second one on the right! That's the real one; the others are illusions!"
"Good heavens, it was just an illusion!"
"Such a powerful boss, conjuring seven illusions at once, that's really intimidating!"
"Listen to the commander, focus fire on the second one on the right..."
The players from the Red Card family were extremely enthusiastic about fighting the BOSS, but unfortunately, when the [Starry Sky Lion King] used skills such as [Ion Beam] and [Void Lightning], it caused chaos on the scene and even resulted in friendly fire.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Nan said, "Alright, I'll start the raid, you guys come in! Otherwise it'll be too chaotic!"
"Opening a group" obviously means forming a team.
This is a basic ability for players and an important basis for determining friendly forces and non-friendly forces.
Being on the same team allows you to share the aura, receive team healing, and avoid collateral damage.
Otherwise, if players act independently, the scene will be chaotic, accidental injuries will be inevitable, and the efficiency of fighting the BOSS will be low.
However, once you form a team, it's equivalent to revealing your nickname.
In other words, once Zhou Nan starts a team and invites players from the Red Card Family to join, they will have access to the team panel and team chat channel, where they can see Zhou Nan's nickname.
Players of [Yin Yue You Qing] and many other players in the Red Card family never expected Zhou Nan to be so "generous".
Of course, they would be happy to team up with Zhou Nan.
[Lonely Moon Wheel] said, "Alright, let's start a raid. Now that we have a racial enemy, all human players should be united in their hatred. Let Miss Erhu from Donkey Cart Hero heal us."
"Alright, I'll hang out with the Donkey Cart Hero for a while and save some money on medicine!"
"Hero, pull me out..."
Players from the Red Card family unanimously raised their hands in favor of forming a team, with Valkyrie Lin Yun, Run Faster When Encounters Each Other, and Fighting Eagle having no objections whatsoever.
Zhou Nan didn't hesitate and started the team immediately. He pulled everyone into the team, and the top-notch veterinarian played the erhu, restoring everyone's health. Everyone's heads turned green.
In fact, Zhou Nan's mentality towards games is quite simple: we gamers should treat others with kindness, win people over with virtue, and if they are not convinced, then we should fight.
In addition, he recognized a few of the players from the Red Card family. They had once transformed into snake spirits and sold food to the Red Card family in their camp. Overall, these guys were not hopeless and were more normal than Yue Baiting. It would be easier for them to form a team and fight the BOSS.
As for the nickname being exposed, it's only a matter of time. Even if you want to hide it, you can't hide it from those who are interested. Maybe some of the players from the Red Card family at the event already know your nickname.
Besides, if you don't even dare to reveal your nickname, then playing the game is too frustrating.
"So he's the Black Card Emperor..."
"He's a real man!"
"Not bad, actually we all became friends after a fight!"
"Thinking about it now, there's really no conflict. Third Elder, Seventh Elder, talk to the clan leader about it later. Donkey Cart Hero is a real friend!"
"Actually, I've wanted to say this for a while now. The clan leader is a bit domineering. She was the one who attacked first, chasing after the Donkey Cart Hero!"
"What do you mean? You want to betray us after getting even the slightest benefit? I won't betray you. I'll stay here and heal you. I won't speak ill of the clan leader. The clan leader did make a mistake, but I just won't admit it..."
It has to be said that the players who come to the world of card games have very interesting mindsets.
Next, defeating the BOSS will be much easier.
Zhou Nan didn't use any more cards, partly to save some mana, since the Reef Tower has five floors and there's a Deep Sea Demon at the bottom. He's almost gone bankrupt from buying so many potions, so he should use them sparingly.
Secondly, it's completely unnecessary.
After all, some players in the red card family have very powerful card summons, such as the Blue Dragon, whose Frost Breath not only deals high damage but also has a slowing effect.
Another example is the Deep Sea Hydra, whose nine heads spew out jets of water at the same time, dealing considerable damage and making it a powerful offensive weapon.
There are also Mighty Dwarves who can throw stun hammers, Wolf Rider Raiders who can cast hunting nets to briefly immobilize the [Starry Lion King], Blind Assassins who can deal blinding damage, High Priests with single-target healing skills, and so on.
It can be said that with a front line, a healer, a damage dealer, and a controller, if the team works well together, defeating the [Starry Sky Lion King] is no problem at all.
In addition, after Zhou Nan formed a team, a team battle panel automatically popped up in the team channel.
This is a data panel that displays combat data in four sections: firepower output, damage taken, healing recovery, and support contribution. The data is then sorted for players' reference.
Zhou Nan focused on controlling his own card units, while the Great Demon Chen Batian acted as a powerful tank, firmly drawing the aggro of the [Starry Sky Lion King].
"Chen Haha is so reliable! Having him as our tank is so comfortable!"
"Recovers 9000 HP instantly, that's truly powerful!"
"Let me calculate. The Erhu-playing lady heals Chen Batian 300 HP per second, and that tortoise-shell dragon's dragon flame is also powerful. One breath heals Chen Batian for several seconds, 1800 HP per second! How can this guy die? He's invincible!"
"The commander is awesome!"
"This high-tech treatment by the erhu player is the most powerful!"
"It's so much more comfortable when the guild leader leads the group to fight bosses. It's much better than the clan leader, who just mindlessly rushes in and only cares about his own fun, without including us!"
"Don't speak ill of the clan leader, or someone might report you..."
The players chatted and laughed, and gradually they all started calling Zhou Nan "guild leader," just like [Valkyrie Lin Yun] and [Run Fast When You Meet on a Narrow Road].
Not long after, the Starry Sky Lion King was killed.
To be on the safe side, Zhou Nan only allowed the four savage kings, savage wolves, and ordinary savages to attack at close range when the Great Demon Chen Batian unleashed his laughter. Once the Great Demon's laughter ended, he would keep them away from the [Starry Sky Lion King], ensuring they wouldn't be greedy.
Even so, Zhou Nan's damage output is still undisputed number one, with [Yin Yue You Qing] ranking second, far behind Zhou Nan, [Gu Yue Lun] ranking third, and [Xia Lu Xiang Feng Pao De Kuai] surprisingly ranking fourth.
"Announcement: The current boss of the Reef Tower, the Starry Lion King, has been killed for the first time. All players who participate for the first time will receive a fixed 200 game points and participate in sharing a 100,000 gold coin red envelope, but each person can only receive a maximum of 10,000 gold coins."
As the system notification sounded, a portal resembling a sphere of light appeared in the center of the stone platform.
[Valkyrie Lin Yun] shouted excitedly, "The system god gave out red envelopes! 100,000 gold coins, that's terrifying! I, I grabbed 2255 gold coins, I'm rich!"
"I stole 6642 gold!"
"I have 4254 gold!"
"There are only 25 of us in total? Dividing 100,000 gold coins is 4,000 gold coins per person!"
"What's with the Valkyrie? How come she only stole a little over two thousand gold?"
"Maybe he was just slacking off too much!"
"Me? Ten thousand gold! The guild leader's awesome!"
"Thanks, guild leader! Let the guild leader take the loot first. I'll fight anyone who tries to steal it!"
"Five thousand gold coins in hand! We've made a killing, even without the loot!!"
"The raid leader is amazing! Number one in damage absorption, number one in healing, number one in DPS, number one in support—you can't argue with that! We have to stick with this carry!"
"Our Red Card family has a very strict system when we team up for jungle raids: the team leader takes the loot first..."
It has to be said that the players in the Red Card family are quite well-mannered. Zhou Nan was very pleased with himself. He had snatched 7777 gold coins. Although he wasn't the luckiest, he wasn't bad either. At this moment, he didn't stand on ceremony with the others. He simply bowed slightly and stepped forward to count his spoils.
