Chapter 6 Elite First Kill! The entire server went wild!
Just then, the map in front of the two of them refreshed again.
Ahead on the road, a room with a golden skull icon suddenly appeared before them.
Elite Monster Room.
Meanwhile, the world chat channel was completely flooded with the death howls of elite monsters.
As soon as Lin Ye and Su Qingyue stepped out of the beginner battle room, the atmosphere on the world channel had completely changed.
Just moments ago, there were only sporadic cries of players being slaughtered by slimes, but now, all that can be heard are screams of agony as players are instantly killed by elite goblin monsters. The level of carnage is more than ten times worse than before.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Emergency lightning warning! Don't touch the elite monster! Absolutely do not touch it! Anyone who touches it dies!"
"I had three lives! All three of them were killed by this goblin! One punch and I was dead! 30 points of damage! A one-hit kill from full health!"
"Help! How am I supposed to fight this elite monster? Its armor is thicker than a city wall, I can't even scratch it. It just punched me in the second round!"
"I give up. I had 18 HP, plus the 10 HP I chose at the start, for a total of 28 HP. It took away 27 HP from that one punch, leaving me with almost no HP. Then, in the third round, it stacked its power and finished me off!"
"I strongly advise everyone: if you see a room with elite monsters, just go away! This is absolutely not for beginners! One hit and you're dead!"
"Has anyone managed to defeat this elite monster? Could you give me a guide? If I keep dying, even 100 lives won't be enough!"
"I've lost five lives already! I'm completely mentally broken! This game is inhuman!"
The messages were flooding the chat so fast that the content was impossible to read. Every second, countless players were sending death messages. Countless people lost their lives one after another because they were greedy for those elite rewards. Some even had a mental breakdown and started cursing wildly in the channel.
Su Qingyue looked at the overwhelming warnings and screams in the world channel, and her heart, which had just been at ease, instantly jumped into her throat again.
She looked at the golden skull icon glowing red on the map, her face instantly turning pale. She subconsciously tugged at Lin Ye's arm, her voice full of worry.
"Lin Ye, let's... let's take a detour."
"Look at the world chat, it's all about people being killed by this elite monster. It can kill someone with one punch. It's too dangerous. We don't need to take that risk."
"Even if we can win, it's not worth it if we lose health or accidentally die."
Her thoughts were perfectly normal, consistent with the instinctive reaction of a novice.
Billions of players worldwide are saying that elite monsters are untouchable, and some have even lost half their lives. Naturally, she would be afraid and subconsciously try to avoid the risks.
Lin Ye shook his head, his gaze falling on the icon for the elite room. Instead of fear, a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Take a detour? Why take a detour?"
"Elite monsters are the most rewarding in this game, especially the first elite monster at the start. The probability of getting a golden relic is more than ten times higher than in a normal room."
"Others can't win because they don't understand the mechanics; they just fight blindly and get themselves killed. But we're different."
Su Qingyue was still worried, her brows furrowed and her tone full of unease.
"But... people on the world channel are saying that this goblin can kill someone with one punch, and his armor is so thick that he's practically unkillable."
"Even if we can win, what if something unexpected happens? 100 lives may seem like a lot, but they can die quickly."
Lin Ye smiled, turned to look at her, and spoke with a firm tone, full of absolute confidence, which instantly soothed her unease.
"Don't worry, with me here, nothing will go wrong."
"Let me break down the complete mechanics of this goblin giant for you, and you'll see that it's just a paper tiger. It looks fierce, but it's not a threat at all."
He pointed towards the elite room, speaking slowly but clearly explaining the monster's cyclical mechanism.
"This goblin giant has a fixed attack cycle, which is 3 rounds per cycle and will never change, even at the advanced difficulty level 20."
"In the first round, it will definitely not attack, it will only stack 8 armor points on itself, a completely blank round, posing no threat whatsoever."
"In the second round, it will use a heavy hammer attack to deal high single-target damage. The base damage is 16 points, and if it stacks strength, the damage will be even higher."
"In the third round, it will stack 3 points of strength on itself. The damage increases as the round goes on. By the fourth cycle, it can deal more than 30 damage with one punch, and it is normal to kill someone from full health."
Lin Ye looked at Su Qingyue and said, word by word, "Directly destroy the core tactics."
"Therefore, the core logic of fighting it is only one thing - we must not drag it out. We must unleash enough bursts of power within two rounds to kill it instantly. We must not give it a chance to build up its strength."
"The longer it drags on, the higher its damage will be, and the greater our risk will be. But as long as we unleash our full power and kill it before it can build up its strength, it won't even be able to touch us."
Su Qingyue understood immediately after hearing this.
It turns out that players all over the world were dying because they didn't understand the cycle, they were blindly fighting and dragging things out until the goblin stacked up several layers of power, and then they were killed in one punch.
Lin Ye's strategy from the very beginning was to cut off its path to becoming stronger, to unleash a direct and instant kill, and to give it no chance to make a move.
"Then... how exactly should we fight?" Su Qingyue asked immediately, her worry lessening and replaced by anticipation.
She now has complete trust in Lin Ye; if he says he can fight, then he definitely can.
Lin Ye gave a direct and clear tactical plan, without any ambiguity.
"It's very simple. The first round is our golden opportunity to deal damage. It will only stack armor and won't attack."
"This turn, play all the poison cards in your hand. Stack as many poison layers as you can. Don't worry about defense, I'll take care of it."
"I'll stack block and strength to ensure we don't lose a single drop of health throughout the entire fight, while also unleashing burst damage."
"In the second round, we'll finish it off immediately, absolutely not giving it a chance to stack power in the third round, understand?"
Su Qingyue nodded heavily, her eyes instantly hardening without the slightest hesitation.
"clear!"
Lin Ye smiled and took the lead, walking towards the entrance of the elite monster room.
Su Qingyue took a deep breath, gripped the card in her hand tightly, and followed closely behind him without the slightest hesitation.
The heavy stone door slammed shut, and a deafening roar instantly filled the room.
A goblin, over two meters tall with bulging muscles, wielding a massive, gleaming stone hammer, stared intently at the two men with bloodshot eyes, letting out a fierce roar.
