Chapter 55: The Top Tank in the Entire Server

Page 1/3

[Team] Easy to Know, Hard to Do: If we can’t beat it, the thousand gold coins still have to be paid, right?

Better to make things clear up front—just in case someone tries to back out… You can never be too careful.

If this top player turns out to be unscrupulous and really tries to skip out on the payment, then she’ll… take screenshots as evidence and expose him on the forums! Ahem!

[Team] I Have Medicine: So you really are a boosting player. I believe it now. Little Zhi would never say something like that…

Shi Qingqing, speechless.

Hey, what’s that supposed to mean?

As the conversation continued, Solemn Execution had already pulled Shi Qingqing into the instance.

It was an underground tomb, pitch-black inside. The game’s music became eerie and tense, making the late-night atmosphere feel even more immersive.

Coffins lined the chamber, and countless bugs kept crawling out from within.

At the very center of the grand hall stood a colossal coffin, swirling with black mist—the royal tomb of the Millennial Corpse King.

Solemn Execution, as the group leader, initiated the ready check, and everyone confirmed.

Each player applied all the buffs their class could offer.

Shi Qingqing, controlling the character “Easy to Know, Hard to Do,” was the main tank, so it was only natural for her to initiate the boss.

With the motivation of a thousand gold coins, Shi Qingqing dashed forward with an impressive charge skill and double-clicked the royal coffin.

The coffin creaked ominously.

From within came the shriveled, raspy voice of the Corpse King: “Who dares disturb the slumber of this Corpse King? Kekekeke…”

[Team] Thievious: Kekeke your head! What are you, a mother hen?

[Team] Aura of the Monster: The website says this boss drops a superb spiritual herb—the Corpse King Flower. It can be used to make top-tier spiritual cuisine, but I’ve never seen it.

[Team] I Have Medicine!: Even if it drops, no one can craft it. The highest level of the chef life skill on this server is only Advanced. Chef is such a hard class to level up.

The Corpse King leapt from the royal coffin and charged straight at Shi Qingqing.

Shi Qingqing remained calm, using a series of aggro skills to firmly hold the boss’s attention. The group continued their chat while unleashing all their firepower on the boss.

With one swipe, the Corpse King took nearly a third of Shi Qingqing’s health. If it was a skill attack or a critical hit, she’d be left with barely half.

No wonder this is a 25-man raid—even the top tank on the server can barely take a few hits.

I Have Medicine! darted around the battlefield, healing with a smooth and flawless rhythm, their movements dazzlingly skillful.

They managed to take care of everyone in the group and, when free, even applied a poison debuff to the boss.

The ice mage Aura of the Monster stood at the maximum range, unleashing relentless damage from afar.

The rogue circled the boss, and their aggro bar flashed red—being closest and hitting the hardest, each strike caused the boss’s health to drop rapidly.

What impressed Shi Qingqing most as the main tank was Solemn Execution, the dragon race master. His attacks were even stronger than the rogue’s, but he could switch effortlessly between melee and ranged. Whenever his aggro meter started to turn red, he’d change his stance, maintaining maximum output without ever pulling aggro.
