Absolute Death Game-Chapter 500 - 3 Preparations for the BOSS Battle

Xiao Buli breathed a sigh of relief. Previously, to expand its strength, Blackwind Stronghold had been recruiting solo players. Although when grouped together they formed a force to be reckoned with, these solo players were not easy to control. Even after the establishment of a guild and the symbolic membership of everyone, there wasn't a complete set of binding mechanisms in place. This time, Xiao Buli led these players on a dragon-slaying quest not only out of necessity but also in hopes of using this opportunity to demonstrate his strength and thoroughly subdue them.

Seeing that there were no objections from those below, Xiao Buli immediately began to explain the plan for the operation. Defeating a blue-grade dragon was not something that could be accomplished by mere brute force.

"I will now explain the battle plan for this operation, and I hope everyone listens carefully," Xiao Buli said loudly, ensuring that everyone could hear him. "All Dragon Clan members have two kinds of combat abilities. The first is the Attribute Spells of their bodies. For example, the Black Dragon excels in Yin Attribute Spells, the Golden Dragon in Yang Attribute Spells, and as I'm sure you all know, the Red Dragon we are dealing with this time specializes in various Fire Attribute Spells. Therefore, we'll focus on stacking Fire Resistance, which I will explain in more detail shortly.

The second ability is the Dragon Clan's melee combat skills. With their large size, just the strength of their attacks is enough to handle, even without the use of spells. So, we must have an MT with a huge body to tank the beast, but don't worry about this. I have already made preparations.

The third is their Fury stage ability. According to my research, this Red Dragon will turn into a human form during its Fury phase and fight in the manner of a humanoid creature. The main difficulty of this BOSS battle lies here, but for this, I also have a plan. At that time, as long as everyone follows the commands, the strategy shouldn't be hard to execute," Xiao Buli declared with conviction, each word resounding with purpose, and it was clear that he had a full battle plan ready. Upon hearing such detailed intelligence, the crowd felt a surge of increased confidence and put aside any previous belittlement they held toward Xiao Buli's group. Those who knew about the Dragon Clan were even more impressed, as it was said that no one before had such detailed knowledge of the Dragon Clan's Attributes before attempting to slay one. Even players who had been gaming for a long time had little to no information on the Dragon Clan. It was unexpected that Xiao Buli would have such a card up his sleeve.

At this point, Du Yibo raised a question, "But the Red Dragon's Flame Dragon Breath is extraordinary. The requirement for Fire Resistance must be quite high, right?"

Xiao Buli nodded, "That's correct. You'll need at least 300 points of Fire Resistance to survive the Dragon Breath." He had been told the data by the GM's wand; in the past few days, as he planned the battle against the Red Dragon, he naturally had a mastery of such data on the Red Dragon's skill attributes. He had chosen this Red Dragon specifically because, according to his planning and calculations, it was the highest level of the Dragon Clan they were currently capable of tackling. Of course, this was still contingent on everyone following combat orders, but there was no need to stress this now. It was sufficient for everyone to realize this before the confrontation with the Red Dragon.

"So how do we stack up to 300 points of Fire Resistance?" Du Yibo's question was delivered in a calm tone, but it was pointedly the most urgent concern on everyone's mind. After all, such matters couldn't be resolved by mere emphasis in speech, and the truth was, everyone's gear was already at their limits. Could it be that Xiao Buli had some way to quickly boost everyone's Attributes by a substantial amount?

Xiao Buli heard the question and didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled slightly and continued to speak loudly: "That's exactly what I'm going to talk about next. Before we challenge this Red Dragon, we have some preparations to make. I have already investigated and found out that many of the nearby monsters, although not high in level, live in scorching territories and possess very high Flame Resistance. According to my plan, we will first slay these creatures and collect a large amount of materials from them. With these materials, we can create a lot of fire-resistant equipment. Xiao Ge, has your Leatherworking Skill reached the master level yet?"

Xiao Ge was an engineer and part-time craftsman among the few people. Xiao Buli had already planned these steps well in advance, and now was just an opportunity for everyone to be aware. "Of course," typed Xiao Ge. Since they were all solo players, they focused all their efforts on improving their combat abilities. The revelation that someone had a Master-level Leatherworking Skill surprised them all.

"Good, you will be making this equipment then," Xiao Buli continued.

Xiao Ge nodded, "No problem." These arrangements had actually been made before they arrived here; this moment was merely a formality in front of the group.

"But where do we get the blueprints?" He Suoju, who had some understanding of equipment crafting, knew that good materials were useless without the blueprints, akin to having rice but no pot, hence his inquiry.

Xiao Buli didn't waste any words. He took several blueprints out of his bag and traded them to Xiao Ge right in front of everyone.

"Damn, boss, where did you get all these good things from?" Although he was aware of the arrangements for this operation, Xiao Ge was seeing these blueprints for the first time. He randomly opened a couple and could not help but exclaim in surprise; despite his long search, he had never come across such good items.
