Chapter 45: WINTER ARC GETTING REAL BAD
Chapter 45: WINTER ARC GETTING REAL BAD
YAO JI'S MALICIOUS COMPLIANCE ARC:
The plaza was LIT with two giant banners:
1️⃣ Battle Merit Board – Fang Yuan's name sitting pretty in TOP 10 like a sigma.
2️⃣ Goods Exchange List – Basically the clan's PRIMOGEM SHOP for Gu Masters.
But the REAL DRAMA?
🚨 NEW CLAN DECREE: "All Nine Leaf Vitality Grass owners MUST hand 'em over! Medical hall's taking over production!"
Fang Yuan's name was on that list.
His reaction? "GYATT DAMN, YAO JI REALLY TRIED ME."
First, she failed to buy his Liquor Worm (L + Ratio).
Then, she blocked him from exchanging for Three Steps Fragrant Grass Gu (clan politics diff).
Now? She's GANKING his Vitality Leaf hustle under the guise of "clan unity."
Fang Yuan's internal monologue:
"This old hag's using 'righteousness' to scam me. If I resist? Instant villain arc. If I comply? ECONOMY RUINED."
NPCs EATING IT UP:
"YAO JI IS SO SELFLESS! 🥹"
"FANG YUAN'S LEAF PRICES WERE A SCAM! JUSTICE!"
"Chi/Mo faction already handed theirs in… 👀"
Fang Yuan, watching his name glow SOLO on the list:
"They paid them off behind the scenes. This is POLITICS."
FANG YUAN'S 500-YEAR-BRAIN SOLUTION:
💡 "Time to go RANK 3."
Why?
Rank 2? Expendable.
Rank 3? ELDER STATUS. Clan can't bully him anymore.
Problem?
C-grade talent = Normally impossible.
Solution? DEMONIC PATH HACK – Man-beast Life Burial Gu.
Ingredients? Already secured.
Opportunity? Wolf tide = FREE LOOT.
MEDICAL BAMBOO BUILDING (NPCs MALDING HOUR)
Gu Yue Yao Le (healer prodigy): "Grandma fixed Fang Yuan's scam! Justice for Xiong Jiao Man! 🥳"
Xiong Jiao Man: "Fang Yuan's gonna CRY when he sees the decree!"
Clan Chat Explodes:
"Bro was charging 80 stones per leaf 💀"
"He rejected my group application + called me TRASH."
"Fang Zheng better. #JusticeForQingShu"
Yao Ji, smirking: "This little demon… checkmate."
WOLF TIDE ARC GETS REAL SERIOUS: VILLAGE UNDER SIEGE
🚨 ALARM SOUNDS.
Xiong Jiao Man's squad: "We just got back… AND NOW WOLVES?!"
Battlefield Breakdown:
Normal wolves: Cannon fodder.
Bold Lightning Wolves: JUMP GU + ELECTRIC ATTACKS.
Frenzy Lightning Wolves (Thousand-Beast Kings): ELEPHANT-SIZED, RAID BOSS ENERGY.
Fang Yuan's POV:
Climbs ladder, YEETS moonblades.
Bold wolf attacks? Water Shield Gu = NEGGED.
Counter? Moonglow Gu CRITS. Wolf gets BLENDED.
Twitch Chat:
🐺 "BOLD WOLF DIFFED IN 3 SECONDS"
⚡ "FANG YUAN'S DPS IS CRACKED"
ROTATION STRAT:
Fight → Primeval stones recharge → Repeat.
5 rounds in, wolves still SPAWNING.
Clan Elders Sweating:
"This is only the SECOND wave…"
"Casualties already HIGH."
Yao Ji's Secret Agenda:
Still tracking Fang Yuan's Nine Leaf Vitality Grass.
Yao Le? On the frontlines (clout chasing).
UH OH
The battlefield was pure Ohio skibidi chaos:
Moonlight? Barely cutting through the wolf-packed darkness like a free trial flashlight.
Wolf corpses? Stacked higher than a Fortnite noob's death count.
Bold Lightning Wolves? Parkouring into the village like it's TikTok's hood Olympics.
Fang Yuan, perched on a tower like a sigma male Twitch streamer, casually flicked moonblades while internally roasting:
"Three frenzy wolves in the back—Thunderclap, Thunder Wings, Thunder Roar. Basic NPC loadout. Where's the creativity?"
THEN—KABOOM. 💥
Frenzy Wolf #1: "LOL, SURPRISE ATTACK!" YEETS a thunderball like a tilted League player.
Tower? Vaporized.
Gu Masters inside? Turned into crispy bacon.
Fang Yuan? Water Shield + White Jade Gu = "LOL. Skill issue." Still took 15% HP splash damage though.
ELDERS FINALLY SPAWN (IT'S GIVING PAY-TO-WIN RAID CARRY):
3 elders vs 1 frenzy wolf = "We studied the boss guide."
Wolf's AI? "Attack pattern: Left click, left click, left click." Free W.
BUT THEN—
🚨 EAST GATE GETS OBLITERATED.
Frenzy Wolf #4 (hidden OP build): "PSYCH! I was running Aura Restraint Gu + Camo the whole time!" Biggest plot twist since Qing Shu's tragic backstory.
YAO LE'S NPC PANIC SPEEDRUN:
Xiong Jiao Man: "I got this—" Her bear gets DELETED in one hit. 🐻💀 (F in chat for the tank.)
Yao Ji (grandma mode activated): "MY PRECIOUS HEIR—"* Gets bodyblocked by frenzy wolf.
Yao Le (healer main in a DPS raid): "I'm literally just here for the cutscenes—"* Gets YEETED out the gate by Soundwave Gu like a ragdoll.
Random Simp Gu Master (white knight arc): "I'll save y—" GETS DOGWALKED by wolves mid-hero speech. ☠️ ("Talk shit, get hit" - Wolf pack, probably.)
FANG YUAN'S 500-YEAR-GIGACHAD PLAYS:
Sees Yao Le running like a "My team left me in 1v5" noob.
**Precision moonblades snipe wolves like it's Aim Lab.
*Voiceline commands her like a RTS unit: "Move left. Dodge roll. Stop standing in fire."
Yao Le, gasping: "Fang Yuan… you… saved me?" 😳 (First time? meme here.)
Fang Yuan's demonic grin: "Nah. Time for some real fun." 😈
Cue villain boss music.
