"Phantylia has been captured!"
The wave of voices spread from inside to the outside.
---------------------------------------
Recalling the battle just now.
Although Fu Shi was fired up with excitement, she also couldn't help feeling a little confused.
Phantylia's combat strength was way too fierce.
All she did was send her pet to charge, then heal.
Originally, Fu Shi had planned, after a total wipe, to just grab a few ordinary monsters from the audience grandpas to make do.
She didn't expect the "Automaton · Beetle AKA Traffic Light" to hold up so well.
While Fu Shi was shocked at how lucky her only remaining pet was, the scrolling comments in her livestream chat had never stopped.
...
: We actually got to watch this entire battle from start to finish, what luck.
: Automaton · Beetle, just an ordinary monster, had such insane luck that it survived to retreat intact.
: With a battle of this level today, if it were in ancient times, that beetle would definitely be given the rank of general.
: By the way, what's the principle behind this beetle again?
: I think its attack gives itself a shield?
: Damn, how strong is that shield? I feel like no matter how many hits it took from Phantylia, its shield never broke.
: No idea, I just have this character.
:? Isn't this kind of ordinary character pretty easy to get?
: No way! After seeing the "Traffic Light" perform like this, I wanted to get one, but found out there's hardly any on the market. The moment one shows up it's bought instantly, there's never a chance to grab it.
...
The viewers discussed the Belobog's pet · Traffic Light.
But their eyes stayed glued to the livestream, waiting for the final news.
In reality, the reason Traffic Light survived this long was entirely due to its own skills and a big dose of luck, because the room Fu Shi entered to join the battle wasn't in the main attack range, the pressure it faced was relatively low.
That just happened to fit Traffic Light's rhythm.
Taking a short break, Fu Shi also used the time to walk around and talk to the participants.
She asked these people what they thought about the battle.
Facing the camera and the interview, the players on the periphery showed no stage fright.
"Damn, I had to come! With a battle of this scale, how could I miss it!"
"My pet was finished ages ago, but I couldn't bear to leave."
"This feeling is just too exhilarating! I think I'll remember today's experience for the rest of my life!"
"A real-world raid battle! So hype!"
"You mean Phantylia? That's mine!"
"Phantylia! Phantylia! Phantylia!"
Players took turns expressing their thoughts to the camera, and some were goofing around abstractly.
Among them, Fu Shi also found an "expert."
Fu Shi interviewed: "May I ask, did you participate in the battle?"
Expert nodded: "Yeah, I joined."
Fu Shi: "How did it feel?"
When it came to the battle situation, the expert became decisive.
"Wind City Park, only once in history has there been such a large-scale battle. The rights and wrongs are hard to discuss."
The expert turned to the camera and started performing in a strange accent: "But historians all noticed that…"
The livestream chat immediately burst out laughing at the expert's act.
Not getting the meme, Fu Shi finally caught on: "Stop, stop, please speak in a way everyone can understand!"
The expert regretfully stopped performing, clicked his tongue, and said: "It was alright. Too bad all my pets died, so I didn't make it to the end."
Fu Shi nodded seriously: "Oh, then at least you should get some kind of medal."
The expert hissed: "You sure know how to talk, huh."
Fu Shi grinned sheepishly: "Hehe, thanks for the compliment."
The expert looked like he was about to have a heart attack.
The comedic effect had the viewers laughing like crazy.
"Last question, do you think Phantylia will be kept here today?"
Still pure and oblivious to the subtext, Fu Shi asked her final question.
"Hard to say."
The expert's expression grew more serious: "I'm a pretty quick thinker. Today I tried over a hundred pets on Phantylia, and based on everyone's tuning intel, my conclusion is: with our current level, it's really hard to guarantee a 100% capture of Phantylia."
"But Phantylia only has a sliver of health left," Fu Shi said, puzzled.
"The boss's total health is massive. What looks like a sliver could still be an astronomical number."
"And I strongly suspect that for bosses like this, Mihoyo has a separate capture rate system different from other monsters, it's probably not based on health percentage to raise the success rate."
The expert stroked his chin and shared his view: "Tuning success rate depends on tenacity, health, status, and our own level and ability. For Phantylia, it's likely a combined probability, and whether its tenacity is depleted at the right time."
"Is that so?" Fu Shi nodded seriously.
If Phantylia escaped today, it would surely disappoint many people.
"But that's actually reasonable!"
The expert nodded matter-of-factly: "Phantylia is a Lord Ravager. If this were in Honkai: Star Rail, it'd be like countless people throwing their lives away to chip down her health bar.
The battle should be this brutal, and it should bear witness to the achievements of countless fighters."
After saying that, he added again: "After all, it's a Lord Ravager!"
"Sigh… is that so?"
Fu Shi didn't think too deeply, feeling the expert's reasoning made sense, though a bit regretful.
On her phone, less than a minute and a half remained before Phantylia would disappear.
The crowd in the park was already restless.
Every second, a huge number of tuning skills were thrown at Phantylia.
The first time experiencing such an intense real-world raid battle.
So many people's efforts…
Could it be… That it would all be in vain?
Fu Shi didn't ask more questions, but watched quietly.
The info feed was full of dense pet death notices, scrolling nonstop.
[Phantylia killed player 'Feng Xiao's Antibaryon']
[Phantylia killed player 'You can't fins me's' Wanderer]
[Phantylia killed player 'I Have Ascended to Heaven's Automaton · Beetle']
Suddenly,
This rapid stream of messages stopped.
Only a huge blue "Capture Success" notification remained!
[Player 'Galaxy Ranger Is Your Dad' successfully captured Phantylia]
The entire park suddenly went silent.
Because with Phantylia's capture, there were no more kill notifications, and even the battlefield on the phone was becoming empty.
Fu Shi could no longer control her expression, her mouth formed an O.
Although she wasn't the one who captured Phantylia, she still felt the same thickness of emotion.
Then, the park erupted into wild cheers.
Phantylia was taken down!
The expert beside her was stunned.
The name of the player who captured Phantylia suddenly reminded the expert of a familiar incident.
"Holy crap, I just realized why Lord Ravager Zulo died."
"Although Phantylia is a Lord Ravager, this is still perfectly reasonable!"
"After all, it's even recorded in the Chronicles of Zulo's Death!"
