Chapter 211: This is How You Strategize!
When Yuliya exited the dungeon, the system popped up with a leaderboard notification asking if she wanted to display her name.
Of course, Yuliya chose no.
Even though staying anonymous didn’t mean much, it was a statement.
I really don’t want to show off, seriously.
The leaderboard reward was just a formality; for many people, it was meaningless aside from the fame it generated.
But fame was the least valuable thing to Yuliya.
The moment she exited the dungeon, the leaderboard changed.
Outside the dungeon, players had already become a bit impatient. “What’s taking so long? Are they even coming out? Surely not…”
Then, the leaderboard updated, and their anxious hearts finally sank.
Once the shock wore off, enthusiasm erupted.
“Whoa! 40-minute clear time! The clearing team has only one member ID! It’s !”
As long as she picked anonymity, no matter how long her ID was—or even if it filled seven characters—it would be displayed as【】.
“A solo player entering the dungeon with only a one in ten-thousand chance of clearing? It can only be the Wind God.”
“The timing checks out. She really soloed it…”
“I’m impressed. I’m really impressed. Soloing a BOSS in an event dungeon, soloing a dungeon in normal gameplay, how is this even humanly possible?”
“She’s a goddess.”
Soon, threads about the Wind God soloing the “Goblin Cave” dungeon burst onto the forums like mushrooms after a rainstorm.
And with that came a flood of @mentions.
“@Wind, big shot, please carry me!”
“@Wind, share a strategy! I’ll do anything!”
Similar messages littered the place.
This day on the forum was once again a battle for traffic dominance between “Nuclear Bomb Little Sister” and “Wind God.”
But the star of the show, Yuliya, received nothing, having blocked it all.
As she exited the dungeon, she chose to teleport to the main city, materializing at the plaza nearest to the eastern city gate.
The moment she appeared at the teleportation array, she immediately drew the attention of several players.
“Hm? Cloaked in black, no ID. Uh… height one meter thirty.”
“I told you! I’m one meter forty! Do you all have hearing problems?!”
Yuliya stomped her foot in protest.
“Confirmed! It’s really the Wind God!!”
Someone shouted.
Others quickly gathered around.
“This is beyond! Absolutely outrageous! Remember this!”
Yuliya dropped a fierce line and promptly bolted, easily shaking off the pursuing players.
After circling a few times in the sparsely populated outer city area, she finally returned home.
What a bother! Going out is going to be such a hassle now.
She thought to herself, feeling a bit troubled.
Now, players don’t think twice and treat anyone without an ID as the Wind God.
This really makes it impossible for me to face anyone. Literally.
Fortunately, she had more than one identity, with another she could use to go out.
While “Nuclear Bomb Little Sister” attracted attention, it also allowed her the freedom to do whatever she wanted without restriction.
She opened her private messages and sent a message to Little Moon: “Little Moon, did you do the dungeon?”
Instantly, she got a reply: “Did it, but it was a skip class tactic; didn’t go for the BOSS. I saw your thing on the forum. So cool!”
“It’s just pretty average. Want to team up for the dungeon tomorrow?”
“Big sister, carry me!”
“Hmm! I’ll help you fly!”
“Speaking of which, you should check the forum! A ton of people are @ing you!”
“Okay, I’ll take a look. Let’s run the dungeon tomorrow afternoon at this time.”
Finding someone to team up for the dungeon was a win for Yuliya, as the captain could utilize the entry summon feature.
As long as Little Moon was the captain, entering the dungeon meant Yuliya would avoid any more relentless chasing and blocking tomorrow.
She teleported directly from home into the dungeon, completed her run, and then returned home.
Opening the forum, she found a sea of requests for strategies.
After some thought, Yuliya decided to post a strategy herself, applying a bit of pressure on them.
Quickly, a strategy post by “Wind” on the forum skyrocketed in popularity, reaching the top of the trending list.
Post title: “Goblin Cave: Kick it!”
The content of the post was quite brief, merely linking to the Fiery Conflict Across the Sky strategy, with explanations for four challenging points.
First Challenge: Try playing around with the Western Star Lotus Boat! If you just get past EX difficulty, you’ll find you can dodge that arrow rain with your eyes closed.
Second Challenge: Ambush! Can’t you guys ambush? Send in four assassins; each can ambush one—if you don’t instant k*ll, just injure them heavily, and then a couple of extra hits will do! The pure white given challenges don’t need time spent; just hit it with eyes closed!
Third Challenge: Try playing Super O-Lio! Isn’t it just a 3D version of O-Lio? You can jump through it with your eyes closed!
Fourth Challenge: The BOSS is just a punching bag; pure damage will do. Don’t tell me about healers—are your health potions just for decoration? But here, you do need to keep your eyes open; the BOSS can run quite well.
Lastly, I want to emphasize—I’m not one meter thirty; I’m one meter forty! Remember that! Anyone who says otherwise, I’ll kick you to the curb!
In the comments section, shockingly, the top four comments had nothing to do with the strategy.
Top comment one: “Check out those feet!”
Top comment two: “Kick me!”
Top comment three: “Wind God, don’t open your eyes! I’m a good person!”
Top comment four: “Sword dancing in the sky, Wind God fierce as a tiger. Great hammer spinning in hand, Wind God one meter thirty.”
Further down were comments like “I don’t believe it unless you post a video” and “Isn’t there a chance the Star Lotus Boat is also not meant for humans?”
There were even people saying, “Though I’m only level 12, it doesn’t sound too hard; a bunch of level 15s can’t clear it, let me through.”
These game discussion comments were quite lively, with the host saying one thing and the replies throwing up three.
Things like “Your failure is your fault, don’t project onto others” and “Go watch the recorded event dungeon if you want videos; those are harder than this.”
Ironically, the top comments were full of harmony and a cheerful vibe.
Fiery Conflict Across the Sky saw this post as well.
He discussed it with others and could only sigh in helplessness.
Big shots are indeed big shots, not hiding anything at all.
Unlike them, who had to keep their tips and strategies under wraps, fearing someone would learn them and overtake them.
Four assassins for the second challenge? Sounds crazy and dangerous, but the thinking is on point.
Since it’s a speedrun, you should leverage techniques to raise your damage output and grab more time, right?
Dumping the healer perfectly aligns with the BOSS fight’s demands—just charge through!
“Let’s tidy up today and battle again tomorrow.”
“President, are we trying to surpass the Wind God?”
“Surpassing the Wind God isn’t the priority right now; we need to pull ahead of other guilds. Once this strategy comes out, others will be copying us.”
Let’s go! Let’s get to it!
