Chapter 17 Major Clubs Compete to Recruit
Alan had already noticed the scene unfolding beside him. However, he didn't say anything and continued attacking the weasel.
After dealing with the streamer, Ernest didn't go back into stealth mode but stood nearby, seemingly providing support for Alan.
Eight minutes later...
[You have slain the hidden boss of the newbie village, the Enraged Weasel. Experience points +15495.]
[You have achieved the first kill of the Enraged Weasel. A server-wide announcement will be made. Do you wish to hide your name?]
"No."
[Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player Ice King for achieving the first kill of the Enraged Weasel. We hope all players will continue to strive for excellence.]
[Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player Ice King for achieving the first kill of the Enraged Weasel. We hope all players will continue to strive for excellence.]
"Holy crap, another first kill? What kind of boss is this Enraged Weasel? Is it from Central City?"
"No idea. I don't think the newbie village has this boss."
"Ice King isn't on the level leaderboard yet. I checked the leaderboard for level 10 players, and Ice King isn't there. He's still in the newbie village."
Countless players began to discuss fervently.
At this moment, William, who had just walked out of the resurrection altar, also heard the system notification.
He took out his livestream replay and was immediately stunned.
'That's Ice King?'
'Awesome! I'm going to make a fortune. I actually have a video of Ice King soloing a boss.'
With this thought, William completely forgot about being killed.
He quickly edited the video and posted it online.
Title: [Ice King Soloes Hidden Boss in the Newbie Village! Super Exciting!]
As soon as this video was posted on the Ragnarok forum, it quickly shot to the top of the trending list.
Most ordinary players were just there for the spectacle. After all, Alan's infinite floating technique was beyond their comprehension.
It was like how ordinary people watched a nuclear explosion; they might just look at the mushroom cloud without understanding the technical intricacies involved.
But in just five minutes, this video was already displayed on the big screens in the analysis rooms of major clubs. Various guilds and clubs began to hold emergency meetings.
DreamChase Club!
SnowflakeChaser logged off to hold an emergency meeting.
Three analysts, John, the general manager, and several high-level archer players were present in the conference room.
"Cousin, I think Ice King must be using some skill that allows him to knock enemies into the air continuously," John spoke first. He was clueless about the game, so he couldn't see the value in Alan's technique.
"You don't know!" SnowflakeChaser snapped, "And call me boss when we're at the company."
The three analysts trembled. The server for Ragnarok had only been open for a short time, and they didn't have much data to work with.
"Boss, his way of drawing the bow is unusual. If you look closely, his arrows spin rapidly in the air. He must be using some kind of combat technique."
"What about you guys?" SnowflakeChaser looked at the high-level archer players.
One of them said seriously, "Boss, this is indeed a game technique. I've seen a hunter use a similar technique before.
"He could make a dummy float continuously in the air. According to his explanation, it requires precise prediction.
"The first arrow must account for the position of the third and even the fourth arrow. If one arrow is off, the floating can't be sustained."
At this point, the high-level archer player sighed again. "Since the Ragnarok server opened, I've thought about using this technique in the game, but I never imagined someone could already use it so skillfully."
Hearing the archer player's explanation, SnowflakeChaser nodded. "Just as I expected, this game is fully immersive and virtual. Many real-world combat techniques can be implemented here.
"Moreover, due to attribute enhancements, some combat techniques that are impossible in reality can be achieved in the game."
John didn't seem too concerned. He said, "Boss, no matter how skilled he is, he's only level nine. Compared to you, he's still far behind."
SnowflakeChaser shot John a cold glance and then looked at the other archers.
"If you were to practice this technique, how long would it take?"
The group fell silent. After a long pause, the previously analyzing high-level player finally spoke, "With deliberate practice, about five years."
"What?!"
SnowflakeChaser was stunned.
'Five years!'
"Boss, mastering archery depends heavily on talent. For someone with top-tier talent, it might take three months, but such individuals are extremely rare, one in a million.
"Moreover, to achieve the level of skill Ice King has in continuously floating a boss, it might take us ten years."
SnowflakeChaser's face darkened. "Alright, I understood."
With that, SnowflakeChaser re-entered the game.
It wasn't just DreamChase Club. Major clubs in the Jinse Empire also intensively analyzed this video.
In the end, they all came to a very alarming conclusion.
Alan's operation was absurd, extremely absurd. A normal person couldn't possibly perform such maneuvers.
[Server-wide announcement: DreamChase Club cordially invites Ice King to join, offering an annual salary of one billion. Additional benefits are open for negotiation!]
[Server-wide announcement: DreamChase Club cordially invites Ice King to join, offering an annual salary of one billion. Additional benefits are open for negotiation!]
The server-wide announcement was similar to a server-wide notification, audible to everyone.
Since Alan had disabled friend requests and private messages from non-friends, the only way to reach him seemed to be through server-wide announcements.
However, at this stage, one server-wide announcement cost ten gold coins!
Although Alan had quite a few gold coins, no one could replicate his method.
Just as DreamChase Club's announcement ended, another server-wide announcement rang out.
[Server-wide announcement: Hades Guild cordially invites Ice King to join us with an enticing offer of an annual salary of 1.1 billion and an immediate promotion to the position of Vice President. All other benefits are open for discussion!]
[Server-wide announcement: Hades Guild cordially invites Ice King to join us with an enticing offer of an annual salary of 1.1 billion and an immediate promotion to the position of Vice President. All other benefits are open for discussion!]
[Server-wide announcement: Berserker Guild cordially invites Ice King to join us, offering an annual salary of 1.1 billion. An immediate promotion to the position of Vice President and a luxury villa are included. All other benefits are open to negotiation.]
The successive server-wide announcements caused an uproar across the internet.
[Holy crap, did I hear that right? Starting with a billion annual salary, is that even real money? It must be counterfeit!]
[I'm floored. A level nine player can make major clubs compete like this. Aren't they afraid of losing money?]
[Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Ice King's infinite floating technique is something some people might not master even in ten years.]
[Clubs aren't stupid. If they're willing to offer this price, it's because Ice King is worth it.]
Countless people were shocked, but Alan was busy looting the corpses of wild monsters to check his rewards.
