My Players Are So Fierce

The Silver Moon Group’s plan to set off at midnight finally fell through.

It wasn’t because they lacked action, but because the “well-connected” Lady Judy initiated a “drinking contest” in the tavern.

What began as a showdown between the Silver Moon Group and the Big Bird Team escalated after Lady Judy single-handedly drank Brother Meow and three of his good buddies under the table, propelling the competition into a heated second phase that eventually dragged everyone in the tavern into the fray.

The confrontation between Sister Pomegranate and Brother Cat was all-encompassing, and naturally, they wouldn’t fall behind in terms of drinking capacity.

By the end, the whole tavern was filled with people lying around in all sorts of positions, babbling nonsensically, with even a few confused drinkers sleeping soundly in the pigsty near the door, hugging pigs.

When Brother Huozi and Yuan Mou arrived after hearing the news and pushed open the tavern door, they were greeted by the smug tavern owner presenting them with a bill.

That was indeed an astronomical bar tab.

Well, in a fully immersive game, drinking would naturally lead to all sorts of peculiar consequences.

For example, as Brother Huozi left the tavern carrying his babbling wife, Lady Shui whispered in his ear:

“That Shadow Elf…

When she talked about a threesome, you were in favor, right?

You bad guy…”

“No, no, I wasn’t!

Don’t talk nonsense!”

Brother Huozi sternly slapped his wife on the buttocks and said:

“I’ll deal with you after logging out.

By the way, getting drunk in the game shouldn’t affect us outside, right?”

“Nope, in the mode that’s directly acting on brainwaves, your body will simulate the drunken state too.

We’ve tested it before, though it’s not as severe as in the game.”

Beside them, Little Wei Ming, dragging her mom who was drunkenly throwing punches, winks at Brother Huozi and says:

“So you better log out quickly, or your perfect wife will throw up on the bed.”

“Ah, damn it!”

Brother Huozi, with a pained expression, quickly carried his wife to their rented elf house in Shadow Valley, logging out himself and hurriedly taking off Lady Shui’s helmet too, only to find his dear wife blinking brightly at him.

“What are you doing?”

Startled, he huddled up on the bed, watching his wife, looking like a tigress, crawl up and stare at him, his voice trembling.

“Maybe it’s the influence of that strange alcohol, but…

should we have a third child?”

Licking her lips, Lady Shui said, while Brother Huozi stared blankly and replied:

“Woman, don’t play with fire, I’m warning you!

That’s not something to say lightly…

Ow!

Don’t pounce on me, I’m going to fall!”

“Easy, let me have a look!”

“Ah!”

Lady Shui, transformed into a female rogue, was immensely powerful in her allure, so much so that the next day when they logged in, she looked utterly refreshed, while Brother Huozi seemed completely drained.

Once everyone preparing to explore Blackflame Pass was gathered, Lady Shui, amidst the crowd, saw Lady Judy also in good spirits, humming a tune, and the two exchanged a knowing smile.

“Let’s go, let’s go!”

Impatient as ever, Little Wei Ming waved her hand, and the group of Explorers of Blackflame Pass, consisting of four teams, set off to return there.

These top players all had flying mounts, so they traveled quickly, reaching the outskirts of Blackflame Pass before the sun fully rose.

Here, the corrupt energy was still gathering, preventing sunlight from shining and thus sparing the vampires from unbearable weakening.

They used the old method from Cardman City, burning their way through with alchemical flames, dispersing the thinning corrupt energy.

But soon they discovered a problem.

“The pass was indeed leveled by the Star-world Tear, but the complex underground structure behind the front line still remains.

The Silver Dwarfs’ estimates were correct, only the surface was destroyed.

Be careful!

This means some of the undead warriors released by the Twilight Cultists might still be here.”

Loyal Brother, dressed in a capitalist outfit and holding a survey staff, warned everyone behind him.

He had a proper mission coming here despite being non-combat personnel: when five walking machines retreated previously, one was left on the front line, which Loyal Brother had to retrieve, along with looting what he could from the ruins of the position.

When the Star-world Tear erupted, the evacuation of supplies from Black Flame Maw Position was incomplete, leaving some materials behind.

Especially some armories containing batches of dwarven firearms and explosive materials, which were to be taken away.

It was heard that under Position 10, there were some half-body man instruments for repairing weapons, and if found, it would naturally be best.

The ground, having been burned, quickly exposed its current form after the dispersal of corrupt energy, completely resembling a devastated ruin and mirroring the wretched appearance of Cardman City during its major cleansing.

Only now did the players see firsthand how severe the terrain destruction by the Star-world Tear at Blackflame Pass was.

Their rear position should have been a ridge formation, but it had been smoothed off several layers, transforming the formerly winding Blackflame Pass position into a “slope” structure.

The peaks on both sides remained standing, but now they formed a difference in height like pillars, with the only treacherous path to Transylvania almost leveled.

“Look at this place now.

A bit of repair, and it’s just a ‘highway’, isn’t it?”
