308: Chapter 308 Playing games doesn't require eyesight

That rap, filled with heavy bass and electric energy, echoed across the vast snowy plains for a long time.

The thousands of players in the hollow froze collectively for three seconds before the entire camp instantly erupted into chaos.

"Where is it? Where did it spawn?"

"Quick, quick! Switch to the guild channel! Ask the brothers at the other points!"

"Nothing in the west! What about the north? Have those grandsons in the north replied yet?"

The camp, which had been relatively orderly while waiting, turned into a chaotic wet market in the blink of an eye.

Some scrambled onto their mounts, others busied themselves with forming parties, and a few unlucky souls ran so fast they tumbled headfirst into nearby snow pits.

Chen You looked down at the chaotic mess of players from his vantage point.

The cringeworthy, toe-curling rhyme was still playing on a loop in his head.

He hadn't expected it to deliver itself right to him.

The corners of Chen You's mouth curled up slightly.

"Sounds great," he muttered to himself.

With a flash of light, his figure vanished into thin air.

Leaving behind a group of players who had just looked up to talk to him, staring at each other in the wind and snow.

...

In a mountain hollow north-northwest of Cangxing City.

The blizzard here was several times more intense than elsewhere, with visibility less than ten meters.

A tight formation of over three hundred players was staring intently at a massive ice pit ahead.

They were the Elite Group of a large guild, occupying this spawn point.

On the periphery, even more players stood on high alert.

In the center of the pit, a cluster of eerie blue starlight pulsated like a heart, the surrounding space visibly warping and tearing.

"Everyone, listen up! Use your potions! Buff up!"

The Raid Leader, Bloody Battle is a Bit Sweet, raised his greatsword and roared at the top of his lungs.

"The server-wide announcement is out; the monster is definitely about to spawn! Don't let other guilds beat us to it!"

The holy light of priests, elemental shields of mages, and auras of knights instantly bathed the three hundred people in a kaleidoscope of colors.

Shield Warriors in the front slammed their tower shields into the snow, while Archers in the back had already pulled their bowstrings taut.

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the starlight that was growing brighter and brighter.

The starlight suddenly expanded, its blinding glare forcing the front-row players to instinctively squint.

Before the light had fully dissipated, a figure abruptly appeared within the starlight.

"It's spawned! Pull it!"

Bloody Battle is a Bit Sweet's eyes were bloodshot as he let out a furious roar.

There was no need to aim.

Fireballs, ice spikes, wind blades, holy bolts, rapid-fire arrows...

The first burst from over three hundred people formed an airtight web of death, raining down relentlessly on the figure.

The roar was deafening as the ice pit was instantly submerged in the explosive special effects of various skills.

The shockwave blew away the surrounding snow, revealing the dark brown permafrost beneath.

Chen You had just recovered from the light of the spatial teleportation when he was met head-on by a barrage of colorful skill effects.

Who would have thought he'd arrive to such a scene.

He instinctively widened his eyes.

However, the expected impact never came.

[Immune!]

[Immune!]

[Immune!]

Dense gray text rose frantically above Chen You's head, layer upon layer.

Those massive fireballs hit him without even producing a single spark.

Sharp arrows struck the hem of the moyuan star river robe and shattered directly into powder.

The warriors in the front, holding their shields, widened their eyes and complained loudly, "What kind of cursed mechanic is this? How are the spawn invincibility frames this long?"

"The damn devs stealth-buffed it again! Its health is locked for at least ten seconds!"

"Mages, don't stop! Use DoT skills to carpet the area! Once the invincibility frames are over, burst it down instantly!" Bloody Battle is a Bit Sweet commanded calmly, waving his greatsword.

"Assassins, get behind it! Prepare the CC chain!"

The second round of skills poured down again like a rainstorm.

Chen You stood in place, letting those low-level spells explode on him like harmless fireworks.

He even raised a hand and rubbed his forehead wearily.

He finally understood why people said esports didn't require eyesight.

These people playing the game really are blind!

The firepower poured out for a full half-minute, until even the mages' mana bars were nearly empty.

Finally, a hunter standing on a high snowy rock noticed something was wrong.

"Wait... Boss, hold fire!" the hunter's voice cracked.

"That monster... that monster seems to be wearing fashion gear!"

"What the hell do you mean fashion gear! Since when do mobs have a dress-up system? You think this is Source Realm Nikki?"

Bloody Battle is a Bit Sweet cursed as he wiped the snow from his face and peered into the center of the pit.

The blizzard eased slightly, and the light effects of the skills gradually dissipated.

In the center of the pit, Chen You stood there quietly.

He was wearing the server-exclusive moyuan star river robe.

Dark gold light shimmered faintly at the hem of the robe; not even a single thread was out of place.

He was looking down, leisurely dusting off non-existent dust from his sleeves.

The entire field fell silent.

In the formation of over three hundred people, it was so quiet that only the whistling of the wind across the snowy plains could be heard.

"Ho... holy crap..." The greatsword in Bloody Battle is a Bit Sweet's hand fell to the snow with a clang, creating a deep pit.

He swallowed hard, his voice trembling like a leaf in the wind. "G-God You?"

A few mages in the back who were charging up large fireballs flinched, sending the fireballs straight into the back of their own knights' heads, causing a frantic scramble to put out the flames.

"Cease fire! Everyone stop, damn it! Put your weapons away!"

Bloody Battle is a Bit Sweet reacted quickly, shouting at the top of his lungs while simultaneously kicking over a ranger who was still drawing his bow.

Chen You lifted his eyelids, his gaze sweeping over the trembling players.

"Your skill combos are quite well-coordinated."

Chen You's tone was flat, revealing neither joy nor anger.

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Bloody Battle is a Bit Sweet.

He had heard that this man could make tens of thousands of undead kneel just with his pressure, and killing high-level lords was like chopping vegetables to him.

"A misunderstanding! God You, this is definitely a misunderstanding!" Bloody Battle is a Bit Sweet rubbed his hands together, forcing a smile that looked worse than crying as he jogged forward with a hunch.

"The blizzard was too heavy, the brothers couldn't see clearly. We thought the Elite Monster from the server-wide announcement had spawned..."

Chen You looked at him and sighed.

"I'm curious." Chen You took two steps forward and pointed to his face. "Have you ever seen a Field Boss that looks like me?"

A few muffled coughs came from the crowd.

"Even so." Chen You pointed to the ID above his head. "Don't you check the health bar and name before using your skills?"

Bloody Battle is a Bit Sweet scratched his head awkwardly. "Well... God You, to be honest, for the sake of immersion, our guild mandates that everyone turns off the UI and overhead IDs..."

"Fine." Chen You couldn't be bothered to argue with them; he was here to find that Elite Monster.

"You've been guarding this place; besides me, have you seen anything else spawn?"

Bloody Battle is a Bit Sweet shook his head repeatedly. "No! Definitely not! Only you spawned here... uh, only you appeared here."

Chen You frowned slightly.

Logically, he should have appeared at the location where the sound originated, meaning the Elite Monster should be right here...

Is this monster's lag that high?

Just then, an extremely faint vibration came from the permafrost beneath Chen You's feet.

The frequency was rapid, carrying a strange rhythm that made one's blood boil.

"Untz untz... untz untz..."

"Boom!"

A loud explosion.

A pillar of eerie blue light shot straight into the sky from the position of the light cluster.

Within the pillar of light, a massive dark shadow slowly rose.

It was a humanoid monster over five meters tall, covered in ice-blue spikes.

It carried a massive Totem Pole condensed from pure ice on its shoulder.

Tied to the top of the Totem Pole was, surprisingly, a flashing red... Vintage Boombox.

"Check it out!"

The monster opened its bloody maw, and deafening electronic music swept across the field once more.

"Back off, foolish mortals! Don't block my camera shot!"

"Feel the rhythm of the ice and snow, and let your souls tremble!"

The nearby players clutched their ears in pain, and a few squishy mages even fell directly into a stunned state.
