[TL Note: ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and AFK stands for away from keyboard.]
By now, only a small portion of players had reached level 10.
After all, World of Warcraft was more refined than the Legend of Mir 2, and it wasn’t as simple and crude. The players needed to learn lots of stuff. At this moment, like Elder Sewell, many players were still wandering in the beginners’ zone. Like the members of the Golden Griffin Knight Legion, some still didn’t know how to use the hearthstones and only mastered skills such as Judgement by accident.
The players who could go to the battleground were either lucky, skillful, or had been focusing on leveling up.
For example, the Dwarf Elder Sauk in the Canglan City Shop had been teleported to the battleground as well, and he was one of the players with good skills.
In the Half City Shop, the King of Rangers, a youth who was about 14 years old, had graduated from Dungeon Fighter Online and was also trying World of Warcraft today.
There was a moderate number of viewers in his livestream room. Playing as a night elf hunter, he entered the battleground while reading the messages on the screen. “Give a show? Um... I’ll try. But I think we’ll have a big streamer on the battleground today. Don’t you think so?”
“I don’t know the situation in the new shop, but I think we might encounter masters from the outlands.” He took off his virtual reality headset and said, “I’ll eat some instant noodles first and see what happens on the battleground.”
...
Meanwhile, on the side of the Horde, the players were all teleported into a stone tower. The moment Mr. Dirk entered, he glanced around while holding his double-handed sword. “I see enemies the moment I enter the battleground. It’s indeed a dangerous place!”
“I’m using Bloodrage! Charge! Whirling Cleave! (he used his own battle technique) Execution!” He yelled repeatedly as if he was controlling his combat techniques with his voice. While hacking and slashing with his double-handed sword, he used elegant movements as he charged toward a troll.
“Attacks are ineffective?”
“Hiss! He seems to belong to the Horde too? Oh... I hacked the wrong person...” Looking at the troll who had been paralyzed by fear, the orc on the screen murmured to himself.
At this moment, each player received a prompt. [The battleground will be opened in one minute.]
“The battle hasn’t begun yet; I thought I would engage in a battle as soon as I came...”
[Embarrassing!] The audience erupted and talked amongst themselves.
[Dog-Headed Man! He’s definitely the embarrassing Dog-Headed Man!]
[He almost hacked his teammate to death...]
By now, ten teammates had all arrived, and the atmosphere became more tense during the countdown.
“Um... why does this person keep on twitching?”
– In the Jiuhua City Shop –
“Still need to wait for one minute? I’ll eat some noodles then.” While eating instant noodles, Nalan Mingxue put one finger on the keyboard and moved on the left key and right key repeatedly.
On her screen, the undead character moved to the left and then back repeatedly as if she was having a stroke.
Beside the undead, an orc wildly hacked at the door with an ax.
“The attacks are ineffective at this moment?” The troll who had been paralyzed by fear condensed a magic ball in his hand and crashed it onto the head of the man beside him.
As a veteran player, Black Demon was playing as an undead warlock. While stuffing a spicy stick into his mouth, he controlled his character to strike the magic staff onto the head of a teammate. “It seems like the attacks are ineffective here...”
Beside him, a tauren hacked at him with an axe.
The one minute was obviously a long wait for these players. Some moved from left to the right and then back, some hacked at the door wildly, and some hacked at each other with staffs and huge axes, trying to hurt each other and looking extremely violent.
This scene was ‘unbelievably pretty’.
The audience of Mr. Dirk’s livestream were dazed by the scene. “...”
Isn’t... this the battleground? The battle hasn’t begun yet; what are you guys doing?!
...
“I read the instruction...” Su Tianji’s human mage character was also on the battleground. “It said that the side which takes three flags is the winner...”
At this moment, the countdown had begun.
“Three!”
“Two!”
“One!”
The doors finally opened, and both sides dashed out at a blistering pace!
Su Tianji sat down by the Alliance’s flag all by herself. “Everyone, I’m sure that it’s not right to rush out like this. I’ll stay behind to guard the flag, so no one can steal it.”
“Awesome!”
“Elder Su is finally smart for once!”
Su Tianji was a little smug. “When someone comes here to steal the flag, you just watch my skills!”
Sitting on the edge of the night elf’s Ashenvale, Warsong Gulch was covered in green turfs with many stumps left by huge ancient trees and huge boulders that had existed for many years.
The Warsong Gulch in the system version was larger than the one in the original version, but it was an open space. When the players dashed out together, they soon spotted their opponents.
“Let’s play a war song.” Nalan Mingxue finally stopped controlling with the keyboard. “Last of the Wilds by Nightwish—the Spiritual State language version.”
When the passionate music sounded, she entered the battle while listening to the music.
On the battleground, the players who had ranged classes had begun attacking. Lightning bolts and flames of all colors shot across dozens of meters, exploding and creating many streaks of dazzling light on the ground.
Nalan Mingxue controlled her undead warrior character to observe discreetly at the edge of the battleground.
Then, she heard a bestial roar and saw an orc warrior charging out.
[I’m surprised!] Mr. Dirk’s audience was surprised that Mr. Dirk became so valiant and fierce.
[Charge of a Fierce Man!] – From Sky Ocean Knight Legion.
[Orc Sword Technique!] – From Wolf-Headed Man.
The warriors of this level were very powerful. Since the players didn’t have adequate items and proper skill sets, they were defenseless and were easy to kill when the attacks struck their vital parts.
Nalan Mingxue who was observing the battle watched the orc warrior charge and kill an Alliance mage with one strike.
“Awesome!”
“Lead the Horde to victory!” The audience exclaimed.
At this moment, the audience felt that the firepower of the Alliance was inferior to that of the Horde.
Then, this orc was swallowed by all kinds of spells.
“...”
“That’s embarrassing...”
“How come he couldn’t dodge the spells?! Can these low-level spells lock onto their targets spiritually?!”
In the system version of World of Warcraft, the magic spells could lock onto targets via spiritual energy. Even if the opponents dodged the spells, the spells would seek after them for a while. Therefore, it was hard to successfully dodge a spell. The best method was blocking them with swords or shields or countering them with attacks.
“That’s a close one...” In the flames, the orc still had a few points of HP left and immediately hid behind a boulder.
At this moment, his teammates used spells, battling their opponents and not giving them the chance to focus on him.
Meanwhile, Nalan Mingxue had moved to the back of their enemies under the cover of the small rocky hills and plants.
“???” The mage who was targeted by Nalan Mingxue casted spells while wondering, “How come I have the feeling that we should have one more teammate with us...?”
Charge!
Nalan Mingxue dashed out at great speed and struck her sword onto the mage’s chest with vicious force.
She interrupted his spellcasting!
...
While the battle went on fiercely, Su Tianji was staying behind in their home camp.
She had waited for two minutes. “Still, no one is coming?”
– Three minutes later –
“What’s wrong...?”
– Outside the battleground –
The King of Rangers said, “I told you that there’s a streamer among them. However, why do I feel like we have one less teammate?”
“We can’t hold them!”
– Ten minutes later –
Su Tianji had begun eating potato chips, and she said blurrily with chips in her mouth, “How come no one is coming?”
[Teammate: How come we’ve been fighting so long with one less player?]
[She is AFK?]
[She is going AFK so blatantly!]
[I’m shocked. Why did Elder Su go AFK on her teammates on the battleground?!]
[Awesome!]
