Blue Brook Guild's PR went quite smoothly. After all, the announcement of their new record was still there. The leaderboards could also be checked at any time. With the presence of this proof, there was nothing new players could criticize them for. New players also didn't have any sort of hate directed towards Blue Brook Guild. The reason why they suddenly raised a storm upon them was simply because Full Moon Guild's bragging made them feel unbelievably disgusted.
The time slowly crept towards midnight. Blue River slowly grew nervous as well. From 12:20 - 12:30, those ten minutes, Blue River stopped doing everything and stared at his screen.
The system suddenly made an announcement.
As soon as he saw the word "system", Blue River froze.
System announcement: Please play the game in a healthy manner and take a break every once in awhile!
"F*ck! My hair almost turned white from fear." Blue River couldn't help but curse out loud. It was the system announcement that frequently came during the night to remind the players to take a break from the game. Of course, from a game company's perspective, they wouldn't want their players to stop playing the game. Years ago, players might have felt warmhearted from this fake and insincere reminder. Only noobs would be tricked by this reminder!
At 12:30, their record had yet to be broken. Blue River let out a sigh of relief. But then he immediately thought of something else: what if he didn't start at exactly 12:00?
As a result, Blue River went back to nervously staring at the screen.
"Old Blue, you're not going to dungeon today?" The team that Blue River played with frequently went over to ask him.
"I'm going. I'm going!" If Lord Grim was really going to break the record, then there was no point in worrying about it and wasting time. Blue River thought this way as he followed his team into the dungeon. However, he couldn't concentrate on the dungeon. He made numerous mistakes and, at one point, he almost caused the whole team to be wiped out.
"Old Blue, how about I lead......" Everyone was scared now, but they all understood why Blue River was so distracted.
"Okay, you lead then!" With the switch, Blue River didn't make as many mistakes as he did before. Prior to that, he was practically leading the team to their deaths.
After Line Canyon was cleared, it was as if half the night had gone by. There wasn't any new system announcements, letting Blue River finally relax a bit.
Meanwhile, on Ye Xiu's side, they hadn't gone to set a record tonight. At 11 o'clock, Tang Rou changed shifts and began playing the game. They invited Steamed Bun Invasion and waited for Su Mucheng to come online. The four-player team then went to Fire Forest together.
Frost Forest, Fire Forest, Gloom Forest, and Sunlight Forest were Glory's four large forests, which were also leveling areas and dungeons.
Frost Forest was the lowest-level one among the four. Fire Forest, which was the one Ye Xiu and his group were going to, was a Level 34-36 area.
As Level 30 characters, Level 35 monsters would give them the most experience. However, no matter how much experience wild monsters gave, there was no way they could compete with the elite monsters in dungeons. Plus, because of the end of dungeon experience rewards, running to the leveling area instead of to a dungeon was not the wisest choice.
A veteran of the game like Ye Xiu definitely wouldn't make such an unwise choice. However, they weren't going there to level. Ye Xiu's goal was the Fire Forest's wild BOSS, Fire Witch Cashew.
In Frost Forest, the strongest hidden BOSS White Witch was proficient in Ice Elemental Magic. As for Fire Forest, the Fire Witch, proficient in Fire Elemental Magic, was an existence even greater than hidden BOSSes: wild BOSS.
