The player who started the live stream was a girl, probably acting on impulse, because the cross-zone live stream feature hadn't been enabled yet. Almost all players in Zone 886 were here to fight the Boss, so who was she broadcasting for?

Just as the streamer girl was about to close the stream, she suddenly saw a system message—

To read the uncut version, go to [p𝘢wread.com].

"Player Yinuo Qingcheng has entered the live room!"

Yinuo Qingcheng!

The streaming girl thought she was seeing things. She rubbed her eyes and looked again, realizing it was indeed the top player on the Heaven Ranking in Zone 886. She couldn't help but feel excited: "Oh my god, the top player on the Heaven Ranking is in my live room!"

However, the next system message made the streamer girl even more thrilled—

Player Yinuo Qingcheng sent a gift [Yacht] x1!

A yacht worth 10 Gold Coins each!

At this moment, Zhang Yi spoke in the live room: "Find a safe place and just focus on streaming. I'll send you gifts. After this wave, start streaming again when the Boss's health is down to 10%, and I'll send you two more yachts."

The level 16 mage girl, ID [I Like You], squeezed in the crowd, started streaming, and followed Zhang Yi's instructions. She found a safe spot, stayed away from the Boss, and provided a live broadcast just for Zhang Yi.

Through the perspective of the girl [I Like You], who couldn't squeeze into the battle circle and could only watch from the crowd, Zhang Yi saw the live situation of the Boss fight in the live room.

Through the live stream, he saw the Golden Skeleton King unleash a Sword Qi Slash skill, releasing intense sword energy within a 50-meter radius, instantly killing hundreds of players around. Zhang Yi couldn't help but gasp: "Terrifying..."

Then, Zhang Yi continued to swing his staff, fighting skeletons while watching the live stream.

For Zhang Yi, although a yacht costing 10 Gold Coins was extravagant, with only about 30 Gold Coins in total, he could only afford three yachts. However, as long as he could secure the first kill of the Skeleton King and obtain the loot, these few dozen Gold Coins were insignificant.

Unable to see the situation on-site, Zhang Yi relied on other players' live streams to understand what was happening. Missing the opportunity and returning after the Boss was defeated would mean losing billions!

Due to the high consumption of live streaming, the girl only streamed for about 3 minutes before closing it. However, she had agreed with Zhang Yi to start streaming again when the Boss's health was down to 10%, just for him.

Of course, to prevent the girl from forgetting or encountering unexpected situations, Zhang Yi had a backup plan.

Through the 3-minute live stream, Zhang Yi saw that the Skeleton King's health had dropped by 3%, averaging a 1% loss per minute.

With the Skeleton King's initial health at 90%, at this rate, if no mutations occurred, the Boss fight would end in about an hour and a half. Zhang Yi only needed to return in about an hour and twenty minutes.

In the Apocalypse world, every Boss-level monster had a certain chance to mutate when its health dropped to 30%. Mutation would significantly increase the Boss's combat power for a period, making it extremely dangerous.

However, after the mutation period ended, the Boss would enter a weakened state.

So, after the girl [I Like You] closed the live room, Zhang Yi continued to focus on fighting monsters.

As one 19-20 level skeleton and undead after another fell under Zhang Yi's Flame Staff, his experience bar rapidly increased, getting closer to level 18.

In the Safe Zone, countless players continued to swarm the Boss, all attention focused on the Golden Skeleton King. No one noticed that the two largest forces in Zone 886, King's World and the Storm Family, were not participating in the battle...

Outside the Safe Zone, behind a pile of seven or eight-meter-high city ruins, nearly a thousand players were lurking, eyes fixed on the Boss ahead.

These players hiding here were from King's World!

While watching the distant battlefield, King's Supreme, hiding behind the ruins with King's Glory, said anxiously: "Captain, it seems the Boss rewards are based on damage. Shouldn't we go in and fight now?"

"Fight my ass!" King's Glory said. "How good can the participation reward be? As long as we secure the first kill reward, we can soar. Compared to that, the participation reward is worthless!"

"Besides, losing 10% experience for dying isn't a small loss. We'll wait until the Boss is almost dead, then swoop in and take it! By then, those solo players will be worn out by the Boss, and we'll kill anyone who tries to stop us!"

With a chuckle, King's Return said, "Captain, you're brilliant!"

King's Supreme, however, was a bit worried: "It seems like the Storm Family isn't participating either. Could they be planning the same thing, waiting to snatch the Boss when it's almost dead?"

"Who cares!" King's Glory dismissed. "I've figured out the Storm Family's strength. A mere 400-member trash team, what can they do against our thousand-member King's World? Last time in Goblin Forest, they crushed us with their god-tier equipment, with Yinuo Qingcheng's help. Now, our equipment gap isn't that big, and Yinuo Qingcheng is weakened after we killed him once. This time, if they dare to snatch the Boss, I'll make sure they don't return, avenging our defeat in Goblin Forest!"

Meanwhile, behind another pile of ruins, the Storm Family players were indeed hiding!

"Captain, I don't see King's World people. They must be hiding somewhere, waiting to snatch the Boss."

As soon as the level 17 Warrior Storm Dragon King finished speaking, Storm Angel, gazing at the distant Skeleton King, said: "No matter what, we must secure the first kill reward and loot from the Boss. We can't let it fall into King's World's hands, or there will be no place for the Storm Family in Zone 886!"

In the midst of the conversation, the mage girl Storm Fantasy suddenly pointed to a few heads peeking out from behind another pile of ruins and said, "Honey, are those King's World people?"
