The Great Thief Chapter 1673

Chapter 1673: 1673
In the beginning, the Boss’ HP was manageable for everyone . At every 20% HP interval, the Boss’ HP would be locked . They would need to deal Ice damage 255 times to the Boss, after which the Little Slime would split into water droplets . Then, these water droplets would be able to be attacked .
If these water droplets were not killed before they grouped together again, the Little Slime would be reconstructed back to full HP and full mana, which would mean that they would be back to square one .
Only once they cleared a certain number of the droplets, would the Slime return to its HP . For example, the first successful clearing of the water droplets would bring the Boss to 80%, then 60% and so on . However, once it reached 60% HP, the Little Slime would lock its HP, which meant that they needed to deal Ice damage 255 times to the Boss again .
The problem here was the number of attacks needed . Not every team was able to reach the 255 mark as it was quite a high number . Even the players were just casting Ice Lance, it would require many repetitions of it .
After wiping twice, Lu Li had to stop the battle .
Little Slime was quite a ‘soft’ Boss, but its attacks were not soft at all . It wasn’t an immovable Boss that just mimicked a target . In reality, its damage was extremely high . Lu Li and the team couldn’t even fight past 50% HP .
Lu Li tried his best to recall the strategy .
There weren’t too many components . One was just to form more groups of Ice-based players, but he couldn’t just make the whole team full of Ice users . It was rare for Dawn to release Bosses that were so limiting .
It was also likely that the strategy that he saw was for the nerfed version of the game .
Perhaps the difficulty upon release was much more difficult than the one that he experienced, so the first club that got the First Clear had used an unknown method to kill the Boss . Then, after the nerf, this method was not needed anymore, so it wouldn’t be released .

Guides were written for the people who needed them, not for people who had been reborn .
“If we really can’t go on, then let’s just make more teams of Ice users . ”
Wandering also couldn’t do anything . He was quite intelligent, but he also had no idea what to do .
As an Ice Mage himself, Sky Moon objected .
“I don’t think that’s viable . Even though this Boss could only be damaged by Ice damage before splitting, its Ice resistance is extremely high . The Mages’ DPS would drop heavily . That’s why if we have more Ice Mages, we wouldn’t have enough DPS for the other phases of the battle . Also, we all know how important it is to have a diverse team .
“We can’t do this and can’t do that either . Are we going to continue?” Azure Sea Breeze sighed as he sat on the ground, clearly bored .
“We’ll definitely keep fighting, but the question is how to fight . ”
Lu Li knew that Instance Dungeons required patience, especially in a situation like this .
Fighting Instance Dungeons were like solving a puzzle . Under normal circumstances, players would be able to fight the newly released dungeons . Furthermore, with good enough luck, they would even be able to take the dungeon down . The only problem here was the process of figuring it all out .
“Um, I have a suggestion,” Hachi Chan said as she raised her hand .
“Don’t mess around . We’re busy right now . If you’re trying to act cute, then wait until later,” Lu Li said, ignoring her .
When it came to quests, Hachi Chan was undoubtedly the master . Even Lu Li had to admit that she was more capable than him at doing quests .
“Hmph!” Hachi Chan huffed angrily and didn’t say another word .
“Hachi, don’t get angry . They’re seriously working on something right now . ”
Remnant Dream ran over, held her hand and comforted her .
Hachi Chan grew even more restless, proudly saying, “Even you don’t believe me! Isn’t it just Ice damage? It’s so simple! How do you need so people to think about it? How stupid . ”
Stu…Stupid?
If these words came from Wandering, then the person being targeted would need to reflect on themselves .

However, it was Hachi Chan who said these words . She was one of the dumb ones in Ruling Sword . Her stupidity was so well-known that other clubs knew about it too . This time, it was her who was calling that other people were stupid? Furthermore, Wandering was among the ones who she was calling stupid .
“Do you have a way to solve the Ice damage problem?” Lu Li asked . He didn’t really believe her . “It’s not something like forming more groups of Ice Mages, is it?”
“I’m not telling you,” Hachi Chan jeered as she made a face at Lu Li .
“Hachi, do you really have a solution? Tell everyone! Let Lu Li call you daddy . ”
Azure Sea Breeze wanted to make things into a chaotic situation .
“How stupid . No . ” Hachi Chan was full of herself right now .
It actually seemed like she had something up her sleeve . Lu Li dry-coughed twice, then looked at her straight in the eyes and said, “Hachi, if you have any personal problems, then we’ll talk after this Instance Dungeon . If you actually have an idea, then tell me . Quickly . Time is precious right now . ”
“I’m not saying anything! Just pretend that I don’t know anything,” she huffed, immediately seeing through Lu Li’s act .
“Alright . Alright . I’m in the wrong . Sorry . Hachi, stupidity has clouded my judgment . Lord Hachi Chan, please tell us what to do . ”
Lu Li was still suspicious, but he could only go along with it . Everyone else was just keeping quiet .
“Be more genuine with your tone!” Hachi Chan chided .
Lu Li could only do what she asked . He was experienced with calming down his younger sister anyway .
The main part was that everyone else started standing on Hachi Chan’s side, so her mood became a lot better .
“Wait a second . I’ll show you guys something . ”
Hachi Chan stuck her head into her bag and started searching . After a while, she finally took out a bottle of elixir . Although her bag wasn’t the legendary bottomless and limitless bag, her storage space was still many, many times bigger than the average player . She had many different and weird things in there . She was incredibly blessed by the game System .
Icy Chill Weapon Coating: After coating the weapon in this, the wearer of the weapon will have a chance at dealing 5 Ice damage after casting both melee and ranged skills . Duration of effect: 1 hour .
There was something like this!
Lu Li knew that his own words just then were correct . Stupidity had indeed clouded his imagination .
Or, it could be said that he was the most conservative and simple .
“Where did you get this?” Lu Li grabbed Hachi Chan and asked .
“Rape! Rape! Lolicon! Sister Water! Help!”
The little brat was still vengeful from before . Originally, she wanted to help out to the best of her ability, but Lu Li had thrown her aside . The petty little brat wasn’t going to let Lu Li go that easily .
Water Fairy could only hide Hachi Chan behind her, then glared at Lu Li .
“The Blacksmith at Silithus . Just do three quests there, then they would give this to you . ”
In the end, Hachi Chan still told them the answer . She knew when to joke around and when to be serious .
“Only one bottle?”
“There’s three choices . Every choice had three of the same bottles, so I just chose one of them . I just thought that all three types looked pretty . ”
The way that Hachi Chan picked her rewards were extraordinarily weird .
“There’s three? That’s really good!” Lu Li clapped his hands then said, “Everyone, come over here for Hachi Chan to teach us something . It’s something about the quest . Later, we’ll all go and start this questline and get this bottle . The Boss won’t be a problem then .
Hachi Chan then told everyone how to activate the quest and how to complete each step of the quest .
She couldn’t even remember the roads that she had walked on for the past 30 seconds, yet she could remember every single detail about a complicated quest that she had completed a few days ago .

Cultivating Earth [Hiatus]
[This fiction is on indefinite hiatus. I'm currently acting as a 24-hour caregiver for my step-father who had a massive heart attack. I apologize for disappearing so quickly, but sometimes that's just life. I'll return as soon as possible. Sorry everyone!] Zhao Gang, after hundreds of thousands of years cultivating, has finally reached the penultimate threshold. He is ready to ascend to the level of True Immortal. Driven by the need for a place his enemies won't find him, Zhao Gang puts together an audacious plan. He has developed a revolutionary new formation which will allow him to ascend while on even the lowest planes. To avoid drawing attention, he has to choose a plane that is relatively desolate, however. He chooses Earth. Fast forward three thousand years. Zhao Gang discovers what his work has wrought - a cultivation-free culture that has delved the deep mysteries of creation - he can't help but think how this tiny little planet devoid of natural energy could affect the course of all creation. There's only one problem. For that to happen, he has to succeed in cultivating Earth. Notes: Chinese names should be ignored in the social context - they don't mean anything. Sorry for slaughtering such a beautiful tradition. This novel starts off slower than most. If the slow-roll isn't your thing, you might want to give this a pass. If it's not for you, I understand. Also, releases may be broken up into smaller chunks. The goal is 5k words, but definitely more than 4k. If you see a short release, be aware that more is probably coming. I'll be honest and say that I'm struggling with each new scene, if only because I want to balance the scope of vision with good pacing. I hope the work I put into it is worthwhile.

Hello ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to my first attempt at writing a novel. I am preparing to participate in the 2017 NaNoWriMo event so enjoy the first chapter as that's here early only to ensure that I have a place to post once the event starts. This means the first novel/book will have a target of 50,000 words. I'm excited to attempt this challenge despite the hurdles I will have to overcome. I do have a demanding full time job so planning time to write and make weekly releases starting in November will be my biggest challenge. Also, please accept my apologies on my cover. I'm not an artist and the only digital tool available at my disposal is the stock microsoft paint. So I did my best to create a decent cover as I did not want to steal the work of another. If there are those interested by the end of November in donating a new fan made cover then I will look into replacing the old cover.
