Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

"Several hundred million Blue Star Coins! This figure is indeed hard for most people to refuse!"

Wu Ming said this with a mocking smile on his face. He glanced at Zhao Ruilong, his eyes flashing with disdain and ridicule.

However, Zhao Ruilong didn't notice Wu Ming's sarcasm. Instead, his eyes lit up, as if he saw the dawn of hope. He secretly rejoiced, thinking that he had finally found a breakthrough and could convince the man in front of him.

So, he stepped up the negotiation without hesitation: "You know, our Fresh Meat Group covers most of the domestic market, and we can definitely offer hundreds of millions. As long as the method you propose can really achieve a quick upgrade, and it's verified to be correct, the money will definitely appear in your bank account within today!"

Zhao Ruilong's tone was full of confidence and determination. He believed that the conditions he offered were attractive enough to touch the other party's heart. He expected Wu Ming to agree immediately and share the secret.

However, at this moment, Wu Ming suddenly revealed a meaningful smile. He didn't say anything more, but stepped directly into the teleportation array.

This move caught Zhao Ruilong off guard, and the words he had prepared were forced back into his throat. He stared with wide eyes in disbelief as Wu Ming walked into the teleportation array.

Zhao Ruilong never expected that Wu Ming would make such a decisive decision, which was completely beyond his expectations.

He stood there blankly, his mind in a mess, unable to understand anything. The course of events was completely different from what he had expected.

"Keep chasing! Damn it, I think he doesn't want to stay in the MapleStory world anymore!"

Seeing himself disappear in this special teleportation array, Zhao Ruilong's face gradually turned red, then he shouted in a fit of excitement and was teleported in as well.

Zhao Ruilong and his employees also entered the teleportation array one after another.

When he opened his eyes again, Wu Ming found himself in a high mountain covered in green vegetation. Standing at the foot of the mountain, he saw a large group of snail monsters. They slowly crawled, eating moss and leaves on the roadside, as if waiting for something to arrive.

Whenever you look towards the area on the upper level of the mountain, you can vaguely see monsters such as wood monsters and green water spirits jumping and moving through the gaps in the leaves.

The sheer number of monsters here astounded Wu Ming. This was the first time he had seen such a large group of monsters in his numerous wilderness experiences. While not densely packed, they were still swarming in groups, moving back and forth across the small flat area, seemingly on patrol.

Faintly, Wu Ming could also hear bursts of vomit-like roars coming from the top of the mountain.

The appearance of this voice gave him a strong association, as if his target - the Red Snail King was on the top of the mountain!

The next moment, Zhao Ruilong and the others also appeared next to the teleportation array one after another. When they saw the densely packed snails in front of them, they instantly wanted to teleport back again.

Before they could come to their senses and enter the teleportation array, the next moment, the roar of vomiting was heard again on the top of the mountain. Then, dense swarms of snails appeared near the teleportation array, blocking the way of Zhao Ruilong and others!

There were a few unlucky guys who had just been teleported out of the teleportation array. They saw that the teleportation entrance was blocked by dense snails. They were forced to retreat and could not walk back to the entrance of the teleportation array for a while. They could only watch as their blood was worn away bit by bit by the snails in front of them, and then turned into little points of light and disappeared.

Zhao Ruilong and the others stared out of their wits at the sheer number of monsters before them, then at the teleportation array blocked by the snails. For a moment, they froze in their tracks, at a loss for what to do.

Compared to Zhao Ruilong and the others, Wu Ming was calm and composed. After all, when his own level was higher than the monster's, low-level monsters with no intelligence would generally not provoke high-level adventurers.

Unless this low-IQ monster can't see the high-level adventurer and accidentally bumps into him. In this case, if he bumps into you, you will either lose -1 HP or avoid him directly because of your level advantage.

Wu Ming's current expression of composure was a testament to his confidence, stemming from the evasion rate gained from his max-level passive skill! In most cases, being hit by a low-level monster like this would be considered a successful evasion!

In the mountains and forests of this area, the only thing that made Wu Ming feel on guard and cautious was the monster on the top of the mountain that made vomiting and roaring sounds!

During the few minutes when Zhao Ruilong was stunned and unable to pass through the teleportation array, Wu Ming used the passive attribute of his full-level skill to increase the speed of light work, and used the magic wand's basic attack to quickly attract most of the snails and green water spirits at the foot of the mountain.

While this move is insane, don't forget that Wu Ming's backpack not only contains red potions, but also the group healing skill. This is primarily due to the passive and active synergy between the Flying Man's Light Kung Fu and the Archer's Concentration skill. This makes it impossible for a slow-moving snail to catch up, and while the Green Water Spirit appears to be faster, it's actually just jumping up and down faster.

"You...what on earth do you want to do! W...why!"

Seeing the hordes of monsters following Wu Ming, Zhao Ruilong came to his senses and found something wrong. He asked him in horror!

However, the answer he got was Wu Ming's cold eyes and mocking smile.

Looking at the snail and Green Water Spirit who were about to reach him, Wu Ming smiled slightly and used Falling Leaf Slash to mark a snail that was blocking the way in the middle of the teleportation array.

The next moment, Wu Ming used his skills to kill a snail and used the teleportation array to teleport back to the fork in the road.

The monster that was attracted by Wu Ming and followed him, after losing him, continued to rush towards Zhao Ruilong and others next to the teleportation array!

"Run!"

No one knew who shouted "Defense is broken" first. Zhao Ruilong and others became confused as they watched the tide of monsters rushing towards them. They ran in whichever direction the monsters were facing and fled in all directions.

Although they were running very fast, unfortunately the entrance to the teleportation array was blocked by monsters, so no matter how they ran, they were still stuck in the forest.

Among this group of monsters, the snail's speed is really slow, but the Green Water Spirit is not slow in the eyes of adventurers at this stage. After all, no one has learned the full-level passive avoidance skill and the full-level lightness skill now!

The monster didn't see Wu Ming, but that didn't mean it couldn't see Zhao Ruilong and others who were only level 10. So after they came into its sight, its hatred was directly transformed into attacking nearby adventurers of similar level!

One after another, purple-red damage numbers of those attacked by monsters kept appearing above the heads of Zhao Ruilong and others. Then, those with less blood volume turned directly into points of light and disappeared on the spot.

Wu Ming waited at the fork in the road for a minute or two, then stepped into the teleportation array again and saw Zhao Ruilong and his remaining men.

It can be seen that Zhao Ruilong's level is indeed a bit high. Perhaps because he is a rich man, he wears better basic equipment. So although he is a mage, his blood volume is much higher than others.

Of course, the main reason why he was able to hold out for so long was that his tank-type warriors were helping him block the damage.

Unfortunately, death was only a matter of time for Zhao Ruilong. After all, a large group of snails and green water spirits were desperately colliding with them.

"You fucking @￥%, if I can't handle you, I'll take your last name!"

Finally, after struggling hard, Zhao Ruilong looked at Wu Ming who came out of the teleportation array and uttered harsh words and curses.

After cursing for less than a minute or two, as the men around him turned into points of light, Zhao Ruilong followed these lights back to the nearest safe zone!

"What a waste of time! If it weren't for these people, I would have already walked to Shooter Village!"

Wu Ming didn't take Zhao Ruilong's last harsh words to heart at all.

If these playboys bullied me in reality, I might not be able to resist, but in the world of MapleStory, at this stage, they are nothing!

After Zhao Ruilong turned into a speck of light and disappeared on the spot, Wu Ming was the only one left on the map along with a large number of monsters.

Wu Ming took a deep breath and once again unleashed his flying martial arts skills, dashing towards the top of the mountain like a ghost. His steps were light and swift, as if he had merged with the wind, and in the blink of an eye he had reached the top.

When Wu Ming reached the top of the mountain, he was astonished by the sight before him. He saw an enormous red snail, more than ten times larger than an ordinary red snail.

This snail is not only massive, but also exudes an air of longevity. Its face, like a human's, is covered in deep wrinkles, and long whiskers dangle from its mouth, extending to the ground. Every time it moves, its whiskers drag on the ground, causing a slight, vomiting, growling sound.

The giant snail's shell was covered in moss, and upon it blossomed a cluster of vibrant pink flowers. These flowers, emitting a delicate fragrance, formed a striking contrast with the surroundings. Wu Ming couldn't help but marvel at the various strange creatures in the MapleStory world; it seemed as if the environment had been created specifically for him.

Wu Ming secretly speculated in his heart that if nothing unexpected happened, this huge red snail should be the ultimate target of his mission - the Red Snail King!

He stared at the behemoth before him, a strong fighting spirit rising within him. Although he hadn't yet asked Pia to accept the mission, this was the real world after all, so he should be able to kill it even without accepting the mission!

Wu Ming now wants to challenge and try to see if he can defeat this powerful snail king.

Looking at the slowly moving giant red snail, Wu Ming stood at a distance of about 20 meters, directly cast a double magic attack, and then checked the information of the monster in front of him.

[Red Snail King] (Snail Leader)

Rating: 25

Health: /

Attack: 60

Defense: 200

Skills: Active collision, HP recovery 10, MP recovery 1 every 10 seconds; Chance to use slowing spell, group defense increased, group attack increased; Randomly summon snails, blue snails, red snails!

Description: The longest-lived snail in the MapleStory world. It boasts a vast lifespan, boasting a massive body and a long white beard. It enjoys drinking morning dew, often busying itself every morning to drink the condensation on blades of grass. Powerful adventurers, after hunting, can occasionally obtain a special item called the Rainbow Snail Shell from the Red Snail King. Rumor has it that it can grant wishes, though this seems unbelievable!

"It's actually exactly what I thought. It's indeed a boss monster!"

After seeing the details and description of the monster, Wu Ming's emotions did not change much, as if it had always been like this.

However, Wu Ming also understood why there were so many monsters in this area. It turned out that it was the Snail King's skill of summoning his minions. He also understood why a large number of snails suddenly appeared in the teleportation array blocking the way as soon as Zhao Ruilong and others came in!

This unlucky Zhao Ruilong just happened to encounter a random summoning skill!

Compared to the Pianus cub he had killed, the health of the boss monster in front of him was a world of difference. Although there was a difference, that Pianus cub was defeated by a group of 5,000 people.

And he can only fight the huge red snail in front of him by himself. It is conceivable that it is still a little difficult for Wu Ming now!

Compared to ordinary monsters that can be killed instantly, the boss monster in front of me is still difficult, although the difficulty is not high!

Based on the damage caused by the double-click of the skill magic just now, Wu Ming estimated that in order to kill the snail king in front of him, he would need to launch about 133 attacks.

According to the experience of internet experts, in the world of MapleStory, the output damage of skills is calculated based on a combination of factors such as the panel value provided by the spark of one's own soul, the amplification effect of the skills, and the defense attributes of monsters.

In other words, the final damage dealt is the calculated damage after the interaction of these factors.

Putting aside the Snail King's own buff, the 60 attack power alone was already quite high damage. After all, his current health was less than 1,000, and based on the current situation, the calculation results were...

Wu Ming needs to launch at least 130 magic attacks to defeat the snail king boss in front of him.

If something unexpected happens along the way, such as being unable to quickly break through the obstruction of other monsters and being forcibly repelled, they will help the Snail King withstand a large amount of damage. If I can't withstand such an attack, then this mission will probably be difficult to complete in the short term!

"Should we continue to fight or retreat temporarily?"

"Even if we choose to retreat, it seems the ultimate mission goal is still to defeat it and obtain the colorful snail shell!"

After careful consideration, Wu Ming decided to take a risk!
