But right under the other party's nose, Bu Dong Wang didn't dare to make any rash moves.
The others also chased after the Wild Boar King's tail, countless ranged-class players unleashing magic and arrows.
The Wild Boar King had 100,000 health points, and when Chu Fu and Shen Chi were both level 1, they had spent a long time grinding it down.
Now, in less than three minutes.
This field boss crashed to the ground.
Loot dropped!
Two pieces of bronze equipment sparkled and shone, floating in the air. The nearest person reached out to grab them, only to find they couldn't pick them up, and let out a sigh of disappointment.
Xie Lin flew over, his heavy sword resting on his shoulder, radiating intimidation.
"Alright, alright, if you didn't get a chance to grab anything, move along. Let the designated looters handle it, everyone disperse."
"It's just two pieces of bronze equipment anyway. The Thorn Guild will put a batch up for auction later."
"When everything's ready, we can all upgrade and take on the nightmare mode dungeon!"
The crowd cheered at Xie Lin's words.
Their goodwill toward the Thorn Guild skyrocketed.
Look at them.
Now that's setting an example.
"In truth, equipment prices on our server are quite a bit cheaper than on others."
"You don't get it, do you? That's because our server's progress is way ahead of others. Take District 26, for example—they started four days before us and still haven't cleared the nightmare mode dungeon!"
"Since Plant Boss led the charge through the dungeons first, surplus equipment started circulating, allowing more people to clear dungeons and more gear to be sold. That's why our server's players keep getting stronger."
"We'll definitely be able to defend the village."
Everyone was quite fond of the current gaming environment.
If the Huanyu Studio had taken over the newbie village, they could already imagine the hard times they'd be facing.
...
The Plant Boss they were all buzzing about, Chu Fu, had already led her team away.
Jiao Jiao Bu Jiao finally logged in.
"Plant Girl, I handed the deed to your house over to your brother. The villa still needs to be cleaned up and stocked with some essentials—it'll take at least five or six days. Your brother says you can just focus on the game during that time!"
Chu Fu naturally nodded.
Little did she know what a huge surprise was waiting for her.
"Since you're online now, let's start today by leading the team to take down bosses. Bosses give great experience, and it'll help the guild level up faster. It's worth using the double experience boost here."
"No problem, let's go, let's go!"
In the game [Primordial Gate], players at level 20 can form a 10-player team, also called a mercenary group, but the group leader must register as a mercenary group captain.
However, guild leaders and vice presidents have the authority to form super large teams.
That means up to 500 people.
Chu Fu had formed the team earlier, and now there were 329 members online, all present.
This was the Thorn Guild's first super large-scale event.
Chu Fu used her team-wide communication privilege, so her voice could be heard by everyone without her needing to shout.
Her voice was weak, but every word was clearly enunciated.
"Hello everyone, members of the Thorn Guild! I'm the Vice President... You can call me Plant Girl or Plant Sister, or just 'Plant' for short. But please don't call me Plant Boss, because I'm not a plant lady anymore!!"
Chu Fu's words seemed to put headphones on everyone, her voice ringing directly in their ears.
Hearing how she referred to herself, everyone let out good-natured laughter.
"Since this is everyone's first time participating in an activity, let me go over the rules first."
"For this boss kill, all dropped items will be publicly auctioned."
"Ten percent of the proceeds go into the guild's operating fund, and the remaining funds will be distributed among all participating members."
"Our kill route is the Silvermoon Wolf King, the Bear King, and the Tiger King."
"Among them, the Tiger King has a chance to drop a guild token. If it drops, the guild management will purchase it on the spot for 100 million coins, distributed as rewards based on contribution to the boss."
"Theoretically, everyone could get 200,000 coins each!"
The Thorn Guild members erupted in screams and cheers again.
This carrot was both sweet and well-rounded.
Chu Fu smiled as she cracked jokes along the way, making the journey less boring.
Plus, as players leveled up, their movement speed increased. It took only an hour to reach the Silvermoon Wolf King's territory.
The Silvermoon Wolf King was still standing on a large rock. Jiao Jiao Bu Jiao pulled aggro, and the battle began on the spot.
Xie Lin covered his eyes, attacking the Silvermoon Wolf King's weak point from behind.
From his position, he could "see" Chu Fu's silhouette.
She was commanding with calm precision.
She called out the Silvermoon Wolf King's skills, adjusted everyone's positions, assigned each person accurately, and ensured everyone dealt damage.
An intangible aura was forming around Chu Fu.
An unseen momentum.
She had gone from a sickly girl to a powerhouse in the game, and now she was a real authority figure in a major guild.
From a nobody in a weak position, she had become dazzling.
I want to be like that too, Xie Lin thought.
Under everyone's relentless barrage.
The Silvermoon Wolf King soon fell, dropping bronze equipment that sold at auction for a high price of 42 silver coins.
Four silver and two hundred copper went to the guild fund.
The rest was distributed immediately.
Those with high contribution got a few hundred copper, while those with less got a few dozen.
More importantly, the boss's experience was shared among everyone. With the double experience boost activated, it was definitely more profitable than grinding normal monsters.
Plus, the hourly double experience could be paused and reactivated when needed, making it very cost-effective.
Next came the Bear King, followed by the Tiger King.
Chu Fu smiled and said this time: "The Tiger King requires a lot of attention. Everyone, please look after your own safety and ease the healers' burden. Also, I won't be holding back this time."
"After all, it's something worth 100 million, so the management has to do their part too!"
During the Wolf King and Bear King fights, Chu Fu and Shen Chi hadn't used their full strength.
Since their damage output was explosive and far beyond everyone else's, if they went all out, no one else would get any contribution.
As usual, Jiao Jiao Bu Jiao pulled the aggro.
Chu Fu started with her skills: Poison Spell, Slow Spell, Plague Spread.
And Scatter Poison, using lime powder.
She hadn't had time to make the new recipe yet.
After this set of skills, everyone noticed Chu Fu's team contribution skyrocketing, surging to 20%.
Her damage was incredible.
Little did they know, she was still holding back!
When the Tiger King used its "Soar on Wings" skill and flew into the sky, Chu Fu tossed out all the watermelon bombs from her inventory like bowling balls.
And at level 10, she could stack up to 20 watermelon bombs.
The Tiger King was killed mid-air.
Chu Fu alone dealt contribution equivalent to an entire team, accounting for 50% of the total.
"Boom!"
The Tiger King crashed from the sky to the ground, dropping a pile of loot.
"Did it drop? Did the guild token drop?"
Everyone was hooked by Chu Fu's promise, craning their necks to get a look.
