Fantasy Westward Journey: Return to 2005

Chapter 1327: You can’t control the first pass...

Ignoring the two people who were chatting animatedly, Fang Yun sat down in front of the computer, and while continuing to form a team to do activities to gain experience, he casually asked Ah Bai.

"Ah Bai, haven't you been very close to Bai Ye lately? Do you know what's going on with her now?"

Upon hearing his inquiry, Ah Bai, who was rushing towards the bell tower, was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly turned red.

"No... cough, not very close either. Brother Cheng, what do you want to know?"

Fang Yun replied in a hushed tone. Fang Yun obviously didn't ask any more questions, but Ah Bai still had a look of discomfort on his face.

Seeing his behavior of being caught in bed, Fang Yun felt happy, but he didn't expose it, but said directly.

"She first bought a pair of shoes from me some time ago, and then bought a belt of anger at a high price. This little rich woman should be quite strong now, but why do I feel like I haven't seen her for a long time?"

Seeing that this was what Fang Yun was asking, Ah Bai breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Yes, her strength has improved very quickly recently, but it seems that she has been asking the agent to gain experience in the past two days, and she has not gained much experience."

"I see."

After hearing Ah Bai's explanation, Fang Yun understood.

He said how it felt like he hadn't seen Qing Kuangye in the gang for several days.

You must know that although this girl behaved like a little rabbit in front of him, she was still relatively active in the gang, and she had long lost the caution she had when she first joined the gang.

Now it seems that this girl must be aware of the 'unemployment crisis'.

So after learning from the pain, I decided to catch up, spending money to buy equipment and asking for experience training. It was exactly the classic boss gameplay in the previous life.

A rich girl is so motivated just to avoid being eliminated by the team.

This made Fang Yun both gratified and satisfied, and she secretly made a decision in her heart. If she could pass the internal assessment in the next Wushen Altar, then she could consider officially being included in the team.

And the reason why he asked Ah Bai to inquire about her situation was to see how strong she was now.

Today in 2008, no team has cleared Life and Death Nine, including Fang Yun and the others.

The reason why I couldn't pass the level before was because the team was not strong enough. If I tried to pass it by force, it would most likely end up being a mixed bag.

But things are different now, not to mention that their four accounts starting with one billion have become a lot stronger after this period of improvement.

Just talking about Qing Baiye, after burning money to buy equipment and liver experience, if nothing else happens, his strength should also improve by leaps and bounds.

And once the team's weakest link, Qing Kuangye, is resolved, then they can consider officially taking action against Life and Death Nine!
Fang Yun had been waiting for this day for too long. After all, he used to use 150 equipment as a ring when he was in Bianliang City. However, in 2008, he could only fight with 140 equipment.

Consumption downgrade cannot be tolerated, especially passive downgrade.

"If you have her contact information, ask her when she will be online. Just tell her that we are going to kill people and see if she is interested."

Seeing that Ah Bai had been paying attention to this place since he inquired about Qing Kongkang Ye's news, Fang Yun thought for a while and gave him instructions.

Hearing this, Ah Bai was startled at first, and then he said with great joy: "Really? Brother Cheng, are you really ready to pass the ninth stage of life and death?!"

"How can this be fake? It's just a matter of life and death. Let's see how I handle it!"

Seeing Ah Bai with a surprised look on his face, Fang Yun felt happy and joked with him.

"Then I'll ask now!"

After confirming that Fang Yun was really planning to officially clear the ninth stage of life and death, Ah Bai immediately contacted Qing Kong Ye as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood.

In fact, if his past temperament was followed, when he learned that Fang Yun wanted to clear the nine hours of life and death, his first reaction would definitely be worry.

That's life and death. They, Zhu Zifang, paid a heavy price in order to pass the customs.

But this time is different.

In the past, he was afraid of this and that because he was the biggest in the team at that time. It can be said that he was fully responsible for any decision.

But now?

Although he is still the leader of the team in name, in fact everyone knows that without Fang Yun's nod, any decision will not proceed at all.

Of course, Fang Yun is not a domineering person, and most of the time he respects the opinions of his team members.

Especially in front of Ah Bai, he rarely made decisions. Usually Ah Bai thought about what to do, and he just nodded and passed it.

But even so, Ah Bai could still clearly feel that the soul of this team was Fang Yun.

As long as this man is here, he can do all kinds of challenging things to his heart's content. Even if he accidentally messes up, Fang Yun can take care of everything.

In other words, Fang Yun is the big daddy of this team, and he, A Bai, and others are just naughty kids. To sum it up in four words, it’s over!
Because of this, Ah Bai's mentality has already undergone a qualitative change.

Now he will no longer hesitate to look forward and backward, nor will he casually question Fang Yun's decision.

For example, clearing the level nine of life and death was definitely a big deal in a new area like 2008, but Ah Bai firmly believed that under the leadership of Fang Yun, they would be able to pass the level smoothly!

At the same time, while Ah Bai was contacting Qing Kongkang Ye, Fang Yun was brushing up on his experience while driving several tool numbers, quickly preparing the supplies needed to pass the life and death tribulation.

Because the NPC "Dan Qingsheng" of the Tribulation of Life and Death is located in Xiaoxitian, low-level players will definitely not be able to enter.

But the calamity of life and death requires someone from outside to help transport various supplies.

Considering that many servers have encountered people deliberately causing trouble such as throwing yellow paper when clearing the level of life and death, Fang Yun decided to set the time for this time to clear the level at night.

At the same time, he is mainly responsible for transporting supplies. If it is not enough, he will need help from the high-level players in the gang.

Although it has been three years since the official launch of Life and Death Tribulation, many old servers have been cleared one after another.

But you must not think that this thing has become a popular commodity, and anyone can try it.

The difficulty of the life and death calamity can be divided into two periods.

The first period is before 2011, and the second period is after 2011.

Before the emergence of the tribulation system in 2011, Fantasy Westward Journey had been in the era of full level 155.

During this period, the official difficulty of the life-and-death calamity has not been reduced. In other words, the life-and-death calamity in this period is at full health.

With a full level of 155 and a full-blooded life-and-death calamity, you can imagine how abnormal the life-and-death calamity in this period was.

Because of this, if you want to pass the tribulation of life and death during this period, a team of people cannot have any shortcomings.

The situation like in the previous life where four thugs were dragging down one boss did not exist at all, because once someone held back, it basically meant that the level was failed.

Therefore, for most players during this period, clearing the life and death tribulation can almost be said to be out of reach.

Because even the top team in the area will charge a minimum fee of about 2 million to handle a life-and-death disaster, and the best books must be sold first to players who help them pass the level.

Don't think it's expensive yet.You must know that the team that can lead the boss through the life and death tribulation during this period is extremely powerful, but even so, the journey will take at least five or six hours, or even seven or eight hours.

In other words, what people earn is hard-earned money.

All in all, in today's 2009, when faced with the recognized 'natural chasm' of life and death, no matter how well prepared you are, you must be mentally prepared to fall short.

This situation was not changed until the expansion pack "Supernatural" was released in 2011.

There are two biggest impacts brought by the Superb Expansion Pack. One is the meridian system, and the other is the new level cap.

With the emergence of the Tribulation Transcendence system, coupled with the new meridians gameplay, the overall strength of fantasy players has ushered in a rapid improvement. At this time, when encountering the calamity of life and death, the two can become offensive and defensive types.

Not to mention that while opening new levels and new systems, the official also intentionally adjusted the overall difficulty of the life and death calamity.

The final result of this is that the subsequent calamity of life and death will completely become a paradise for brushes, and the glorious history of dreaming of the highest honor in PVE will no longer be lost.

It's... quite sad.

But no matter how many Muggles are cut down in the future life and death tribulations, at least during this period, the difficulty of life and death nine is still at the sky-high level.

Unless you encounter someone like Fang Yun, who is a master of competition, no matter how well prepared you are, it will still take at least 5 hours to clear the level.

"Brother Cheng! I asked just now, and Bai Ye said that she can come online at any time as long as you need her!"

Just when Fang Yun was doing two things: gaining experience and preparing supplies, Ah Bai also received the news and immediately came over excitedly and said.

"Okay, then you should prepare. I plan to officially start clearing the level at 12 o'clock tomorrow morning!"

Knowing that there was no problem with Qingkong Kongye, Fang Yun's last worry disappeared and he immediately decided on the time.

……

The next day, ten o'clock in the evening.

Because they had agreed to start the life-and-death calamity at 12 o'clock tonight, Beast Master Fang Yun, A Bai, and the three of them all caught up on their sleep in the afternoon and were now sitting in front of the computer in high spirits, making final preparations.

Sitting side by side with them was Su Jiu, a busy man.

Nowadays, Su Jiu is becoming more and more like a general manager. She was already cold and charming, and now she looks even colder. It seems like she will be frozen at any time if she is near her.

She clearly has the face of a top-notch royal lady, and her figure also looks particularly graceful due to long-term fitness.

But the result?

The entire club, from shareholders like Beast Master Huang He to workers like Chen Fan, were all trembling in front of her, as if this woman was going to eat people at any time.

To be honest, Fang Yun never understood. Sujiu obviously had a gentle personality and a rare and extremely stable mood. How could a group of big men be so afraid?

Regarding his doubts, Master Beast, who had been treated the worst by Sujiu, didn't explain much and just gave him a straight middle finger.

Today, Su Jiu, who always puts work before play, was rare and did not organize information upstairs. Instead, he volunteered to take over Fang Yun 2008's Huasheng account, saying that he would fight with them in a life-and-death calamity.

With old comrades fighting side by side again, Fang Yun was naturally the happiest.

Although Beast Master rolled his eyes, he didn't say much. After all, he hadn't played games with Sujiu for a long time, which was quite nostalgic.

And when the four of them were sitting in front of the computer chatting and waiting for the morning to come, the number of players in Xiaoxitian not only did not decrease because of the late night, but actually increased.

The reason is because I don't know which bastard in the gang spread the word that the Billion Family will lead the team to officially challenge the life and death calamity tonight, filling the gap of not clearing the life and death calamity in the year since the server was launched in 2008!

Every fantasy player knows how difficult life and death is.

And today, the Billion Family, which helped 2008 win the championship in Group C of the last Martial God Altar, is officially going to take action against the natural chasm of life and death.

This is tantamount to a huge earthquake for 2008 players!

So it is conceivable that as soon as this message was sent out, it spread throughout the entire server instantly.

Fang Yun was actually a little dissatisfied with the news leaking out in advance.

But you can't completely avoid this kind of thing. After all, a game is a game. It's impossible to make game players have a sense of confidentiality, just like asking a cat to guard dried fish.

Fortunately, he was already used to being watched. As long as no one deliberately caused trouble during the process and everyone was happy to watch, then just watch.

"How about Bai Ye, are you nervous?"

As the time came to 11:50 p.m., Fang Yun, who had led his team to Xiaoxitian, looked at the densely packed players gathered near Danqingsheng and turned on his voice to ask.

"A...a little bit, but it's okay."

Hearing Fang Yun's question, Qing Baiye, who was sitting in front of the computer, quickly replied.

She had been waiting in front of the computer as early as six o'clock in the afternoon, just because she was afraid that she would miss any details.

She had never been exposed to the calamity of life and death before. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but that she wasn't qualified.

It is true that in reality she is a little rich woman.

But in the past, her attitude towards playing games had always been to take things as they came, and she had no ambition to be strong at all, otherwise she wouldn't have been hunted down by people like boiled water every day.

But now she was different. After following Fang Yun and others to the First Martial God Altar, she suddenly found that her situation had opened up, and she wanted to become stronger.

And precisely because she cared, she cherished this opportunity.

Of course, it turned out that there were no details to pay attention to. What Fang Yun told her was very simple, just bring a full supply of medicine and follow the instructions.

"Don't be nervous, as I said, just follow the command."

After comforting the somewhat nervous Qing Kongye in his voice, Fang Yun held the mouse and led the team through the crowd to the painter.

At this time, the players gathered near Dan Qingsheng were extremely excited because of the appearance of Fairy and others.

"As expected, I'm here. I can't be fooled by the rumors!"

"This is the first time I have listened to gossip without being deceived. I am so moved that I want to cry!"

"Good evening, Brother Fairy!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Fairy!"

"In order for the brothers to catch the early train, Brother Fairy must clear the level in one go!"

"Now that we're here, buddy, be prepared to fight fiercely for ten hours. I advise those who can't bear it to leave as soon as possible. You can't control the first pass through the tribulation of life and death."

Fang Yun felt funny as he looked at the shouts that kept flooding the screen.

However, he did not respond, but directly chose Dan Qingsheng to talk, and then led the team into the battle immediately under the spotlight!
