Chapter 22 – Someone wants to steal the Electric Zombie King

Who cares!

Whoever developed it, it's free anyway!

Li Wu quickly put this doubt aside and started checking out the information and posts about the game.

At 9 PM, Li Wu, sporting a low-budget version of colorful dreadlocks, coaxed Tuantuan to sleep, then put on his helmet and went online.

Spicy Rabbit wasn't online, probably sleeping soundly.

Just as Li Wu was about to head to the mine shaft to check things out, he frowned at several consecutive loudspeaker messages.

Village-wide Top Message:

Junlin Tianxia: "Quick, quick, quick, Electric Zombie King is summoning Death Warriors. Any Death Warriors left? Die once for 5 silver, screenshot and find me at V50!"

Village-wide Top Message:

Junlin Tianxia: "Recruiting long-range hitters, magic damage over 300, pay is 50 silver, double if you get the BOSS. Join me, Lonely Everything Cold, and I Love Honey."

Village-wide Top Message:

Junlin Tianxia: "Bai Dabao, if you dare to snatch the BOSS again, I'll kill you!"

Village-wide Top Message:

Bai Dabao: "Are you talking to me? I don't snatch BOSS, I specifically target you with my electricity! Let's see if you can withstand my 500 magic damage?"

Village-wide Top Message:

Junlin Tianxia: "Damn! Your magic damage is 480 already? I was wrong, Sister Bai, you even have the Zombie King Scepter, let me have this BOSS."

Village-wide Top Message:

Bai Dabao: "Take back your damn words, as if you could get it without me. Get your Death Warriors ready before you start bragging."

......

Originally planning to go deep into the mine shaft to find the Electric Zombie King and see if there was a small platform to exploit, Li Wu didn't expect Junlin Tianxia to plan a direct attack on the Electric Zombie King just because he couldn't buy the Zombie King Scepter.

Although Li Wu's kill of the Electric Zombie King was only the second server-wide kill and didn't trigger a server-wide announcement, the [Zombie King Scepter] easily made people associate it with the Electric Zombie King, at least no one had heard of anyone getting equipment with the Zombie King prefix from farming zombies.

"A thousand bucks per loudspeaker, damn, it looks like he's determined to take down the Electric Zombie King!"

Li Wu was a bit frustrated but still went to the player stall to buy 600 stones, planning to join in the fun.

If Junlin Tianxia really lured out the Electric Zombie King, he'd try to snatch the BOSS too. If Junlin Tianxia failed, he'd proceed with his original plan.

The village-wide loudspeaker messages had stirred up everyone in the village, and since 9 PM was the peak online time for players, the area outside the eastern mining area was already packed with people, leaving the village empty.

Seeing the bustling crowd, Li Wu suddenly thought Junlin Tianxia had made a bad move.

The Electric Zombie King wasn't that hard to kill; the challenge was in luring it out of the mine shaft.

Yet Junlin Tianxia chose to make a big fuss when the most players were online, not realizing that even a level 1 newbie could deal 1 point of forced damage. If tens of thousands of players came to join the fun, even with many expert players, the chance of getting the BOSS was slim.

The most crucial point was that the mine shaft entrance was too close to the Beginner Village, making it impossible to let the BOSS clear out the scattered players like when fighting the Silver Wolf King. They could just respawn and come back, as the beginner stage didn't lose experience anyway.

Though Junlin Tianxia made a bad move, Li Wu wasn't happy either, as his chance of snatching the BOSS was equally slim with so many people around.

Some players were bold enough, and Junlin Tianxia's V50 reward attracted many. The area chat channel occasionally reported the Electric Zombie King's coordinates.

Potato: "Earned 50, turn left at the 9th fork of Tunnel 3, coordinates 17664.33447."

Radish: "50! Same location, coordinates 17662.33445."

Pumpkin: "50, big profit, same location, coordinates 17660.33444."

Big Piggy: "Is it that good? Can someone tell me, does getting electrocuted by the Electric Zombie King hurt?"

Tomato: "50, big profit, same location, coordinates 17658.33440."

Junlin Tianxia: "It's awesome, guys, come be Death Warriors, getting electrocuted feels like a massage, this money is too easy!"

I Am a Good Person: "The boss isn't being honest, getting electrocuted by the Electric Zombie King is just like getting shocked, those with low tolerance shouldn't go, be careful of psychological trauma."

"......"

"......"

"This 50 is unlucky! The guy behind didn't keep up, the Electric Zombie King turned back, coordinates 17665.33447."

"Pulled it back! Coordinates 17660.33441."

The area channel occasionally reported the Death Warriors' updates, and judging by the changing coordinates, the Electric Zombie King was indeed being lured step by step.

However, with the efficiency of moving a few steps per person, it was still a long way from luring the Electric Zombie King completely out of the mine shaft.

Li Wu stood on a rock, looked around, and couldn't find his target—there were just too many people.

He thought of that big shot named Hao Jianjun. With his health and defense, if he were willing to be a Death Warrior, the efficiency would be excellent. He remembered there was someone with a healing skill with him, and if they cooperated, they might really lure the Electric Zombie King out.

He wondered if that disciplined hundred-man team had come to join the fun.

The Death Warriors were still in action, dying once and then rushing back from the respawn point. Over a hundred Death Warriors repeated the cycle, and judging by the public screen's coordinate updates, the Electric Zombie King was already halfway out.

Potato: "50*6, I can't take it anymore, the guys behind, step up, 300 bucks is enough!"

Pumpkin: "I can't take it either, this isn't something a normal person can do, damn it, my legs go weak as soon as I enter the mine shaft."

Radish: "It's already halfway, they don't need me anymore, I'm taking a break, guys behind, step up."

"......"

In the end, some couldn't endure it. The pain level was directly related to the damage taken. Most players lost a whole health bar when hit by the Electric Zombie King, taking full damage, and although they were instantly killed, the pain before death was extreme.

Repeatedly getting electrocuted to a crisp, who could endure it? Some Death Warriors left after dying once and getting two packs of cigarettes, while the more resilient ones couldn't take it after dying five or six times.

After all, Junlin Tianxia's condition was to pay V50 for each death by electrocution, not requiring the Electric Zombie King to be successfully lured out.

If Junlin Tianxia really required it to be lured out to pay, he probably wouldn't find any fools.

More and more Death Warriors hesitated, and finally, with only a third of the distance left, a player broke down, and the Zombie King turned back.

Emotions can be contagious, and although no one reported it on the public screen, Li Wu deduced the situation from the sudden stop in coordinate updates.

The Electric Zombie King didn't instantly return to its spawn point, and if they continued to send Death Warriors, they might lure it back.

Sure enough, Junlin Tianxia started using loudspeakers again, doubling the Death Warriors' pay.

Seeing more and more players gathering after hearing the Electric Zombie King was almost lured out, Li Wu thought for a moment and squeezed through the crowd into Mine Shaft 1.

He decided to take a gamble, betting that the Electric Zombie King wouldn't be lured out!
