Chapter 246 - What She Looks Like, See For Yourself
When Jiang Cheng and Yue Xia Qing’s group arrived at the Life-Death Arena, Array Emperor and Immortal Phoenix were already standing on the left and right.
At this time, the area below the stage was already overcrowded.
At a glance, it was all heads, and there was no way to find A Silly Cutie.
However, The Humbly Great Emperor was A Silly Cutie’s friend, so he could contact her.
“Skeleton Bro, the Guild Leader told me to let you know that she’s fine.”
The Humbly Great Emperor relayed the message to Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng nodded without saying anything and looked towards the Life-Death Arena.
Array Emperor Nian Cangsheng had the highest understanding of arrays in the entire server. Of course, he also had many other titles, such as Absolute Fortress, The Man Who Touched the Divine Realm, The Walking Judge, Captain of the FFF Group, and so on.
The Walking Judge referred to his love for meddling in other people’s business.
According to statistics compiled by his fans, Array Emperor had intervened in a total of 17,816 disputes in The Great Wasteland!
Even Jiang Cheng’s disciple, the renowned Record God Luo Feng, bluntly stated, “I can’t break this record.”
Array Emperor was like a man who constantly encountered trouble.
No matter if he went to level up, buy potions, do quests, or fight bosses, every step he took in the game would run into conflicts.
And as long as he encountered a conflict, he couldn’t help but step forward to meddle.
He was like a walking judge, everywhere helping people mediate various troubles.
Of course, the results after his mediations were never very good.
According to statistics from Array Emperor’s fans, of the disputes he mediated, as long as they involved couples, eighty percent of them ended up breaking up.
This was also the origin of his other nickname, Captain of the FFF Group.
And because his ID was Nian Cangsheng, people also jokingly called him “Meddler of the Masses”.
However… his understanding of area-of-effect skills and arrays was definitely far beyond anyone else’s.
Although Jiang Cheng was known as the All-Rounder Master, he didn’t dare say he was stronger than him in understanding arrays.
After all, Array Emperor specialized in studying this field.
His greatest strength lay in his ability to accurately predict, the moment an opponent stepped into his array, the exact timing of when an array effect would trigger. His prediction accuracy was as high as 90%!
Luck was an intangible and elusive concept, a domain that humans referred to as the divine realm.
This realm existed beyond human perception and control, forever out of reach.
Many people thought that the 50% probability of a coin landing on heads or tails was half the probability.
But in reality, when your luck was bad, you could flip a coin ten times and still get tails every time when you chose heads.
Array Emperor, because he could calculate probabilities, was called The Man Who Touched the Divine Realm by the vast majority of players.
Immortal Phoenix Meng Changqing, on the other hand, was known as the unkillable cockroach, 50-50 Chance.
The number one Priest.
He had a widely circulated motto.
“I can lose, but I won’t die.”
This sentence was a portrayal of his gaming career.
There were many types of Priests, such as the Vitality Healing style, Pure Support style, Precision Healing style, and so on.
The Vitality Healing style focused on constitution, high HP, and thick defense, with the main playstyle being a meatshield that could both heal and tank.
The Pure Support style was the simplest, learning various buff skills to provide good support effects for teammates. This style was played by the most people and was also the most brainless.
The Precision Healing style was more inclined towards damage output. Priests also had damage output, with skills mainly focused on evil suppression.
It had a very strong countering effect against Summoners. Usually, those who played this style were for fighting bosses and running dungeons. It was not suitable for PvP at all and could only fight against Summoners.
In other words, the Priest class was not originally meant for PvP.
But Meng Changqing was different. He played the Passive style.
Priests had very few passive skills, and they were all the kind that triggered when attacked.
For example, Sanctify at level 20 had a 20% chance to restore 1% of the Priest’s HP when attacked.
Divine Blessing had a 20% chance to increase HP recovery speed when attacked.
Light’s Protection: When attacked, there was a 20% chance to increase max HP by 1%.
These limited few passives could all passively increase HP when attacked. Coupled with the three passive skills of Regeneration, Life Rewind, and Falling Thunder, Priests only had these 6 passives even at level 100.
It was these 6 passives that Meng Changqing played to their full potential.
It made him an unkillable melee Priest.
His technique was not complicated. It was just passively taking hits to trigger various passives, plus actively restoring HP, making him an unkillable existence.
And in fact, no one who had 1 vs 1 PvP’d against him had ever killed him.
The only two times he died were once in a 1 vs 4 against the Seven Oddities and once in a 1 vs 10 against top experts.
Even Jiang Cheng back then had never killed him. Of course, that was in the past. Now, it was hard to say.
The two had their own unique characteristics, but Jiang Cheng felt that having these two PvP together wasn’t very interesting to watch.
A healer and a supporter fighting each other was like a match between someone practicing the Golden Bell Cover and someone practicing the Iron Cloth Shirt technique.
As long as Meng Changqing stood outside Nian Cangsheng’s array, he would already be in an undefeatable position.
Jiang Cheng felt that he should spice things up for them.
“Old Meng, with so many people watching, are you feeling excited?”
Array Emperor held a glowing level 30 fluorescent sword and said to Meng Changqing.
Meng Changqing curled his lips.
“Excited about what? They’re all here to watch us make a spectacle of ourselves. You meddle in other people’s business every day. Have you ever thought that one day, you’d be watched like a monkey by others?”
“That’s true. I’m used to watching others and being watched by others every day.”
Array Emperor took out a yellow-trimmed cloth and began wiping the fluorescent sword in his hand, his tone a bit helpless. “If it wasn’t unavoidable, I really wouldn’t want to come to this show.”
Meng Changqing spun the staff in his hand, also a bit helpless. “That witch Su Lian’ya ordered us to come, so we had to come even if we didn’t want to.”
“Tsk, what does she know about gaming?” Array Emperor’s face showed a hint of dissatisfaction. “We’re both defensive types. What’s the point of dry fighting like this? I bet the hundreds of thousands of spectators here will get bored watching.”
Meng Changqing nodded and pondered for a moment. “How about this? I’ll enter your array. If I can’t last 60 seconds, I lose.”
Array Emperor’s eyes lit up upon hearing this. He slapped his thigh.
“Your idea is great. *Sigh*, I have to say, ever since I became one of the damn Twelve Gods, no one fucking dares to enter my array. I really hate this title to death!”
“But… what the hell does that woman Su Lian’ya want? Stirring up such a big fuss and telling us to go pursue A Silly Cutie whoever wins?”
“To be honest, I don’t even know what A Silly Cutie looks like. If she turns out to be a few points uglier than you and I win, won’t I be at a big loss?”
Meng Changqing was speechless after hearing Array Emperor’s shameless words.
However, when he saw someone suddenly walking up from below the stage, he smiled knowingly. “What she looks like, see for yourself and you’ll know, won’t you?”
