**In-Game Scene: Forbidden Map**
Yong strikes the surrounding enemies with "Dragon's Fury" and grabs Liz:
"Come on, we need to move - NOW!"
They both sprint away from the chaos, but Yong's escape route surprisingly leads towards...
* Dragon King's weakened form - its health bar critically low:
* Dragon King's HP: 2% remaining
The other guilds' eyes widen in outrage as they realize Yong's intention:
"THEY'RE GOING FOR THE FINAL BLOW! STOP THEM!"
The guilds erupt into frantic pursuit:
* Rapture Guild warriors charge with battle cries
* Eclipse Squad archers fire rapid arrows to slow them down
* Blackout Team assassins throw deadly daggers
* Starlight Brigade mages cast speed-reducing spells
Yong and Liz run for their lives as they approach Dragon King.
**In-Game Scene: Forbidden Map**
Yong closes in on Dragon King and unleashes:
* "Whirlwind Kick" - a powerful kick that knocks Dragon King upward into the air
The boss hovers helpless for a moment, giving Liz the perfect opportunity:
* Liz seizes the chance and blasts Dragon King with:
"Tornado Blast" - propelling the boss's airborne body backwards...
Directly towards the pursuing enemy guilds!
Dragon King's body crashes into the crowd of enemies, triggering:
* Dragon King's desperate wide-range attack:
"Earth Shatter" - a devastating shockwave slamming into all enemies beneath and around it
The enemy guilds are obliterated by their own pursuit:
* Bodies fly everywhere
* Health bars drop to zero across the screen
* Chaos turns to stunned silence
Dragon King's body crashes to the ground, defeated.
* Dragon King's HP: 0%
Yong turns to Liz, grinning:
"We did it... Now let's loot!"
Liz approaches Dragon King's corpse to claim the epic loot...
But her excitement is short-lived, as she forgets about the barely alive enemies:
* A critically wounded Eclipse Squad assassin, revived by a last-ditch heal, strikes from behind
* Liz's health bar drops to zero instantly:
*Liz's character collapses, defeated*
Her weapon falls to the ground -
* It's only her starting "Common Giant Fan", no epic loot dropped alongside it
Yong's eyes widen in shock, hoping she got the loot before falling...
Yong withdraws from the Forbidden Map instance, cautious about his own character's safety:
He reunites with Yui and Net in their secret team hideout:
*A hidden cave outside the Forbidden Map instance*
Yui asks nervously via voice chat:
"Big brother, what happened to Liz?!
She got defeated, so for now we will have to wait for her to come after she revives back at the altar."
Yong sighs, still concerned about the lost loot opportunity:
"Yeah, let's wait for her. Hopefully, she didn't lose too much experience..."
Net chimes in via voice chat:
"Actually, big brother, Liz should be reviving soon - the respawn timer is almost up."
Suddenly, the team chat notification pops up:
* "Liz has joined the party chat again"
Yui excitedly types:
"Liz, you're back! What happened?! Did you... um... get anything before you died?"
Liz types back:
"Aww, nope... I didn't get anything before that assassin killed me
I was so close to looting Dragon King too..."
Yui types back, almost convinced:
"Aww, Liz, that's such bad luck!
We'll have to try again next time..."
But just as Yui sends the message,
Liz adds another line:
"OR... maybe I'm just teasing you guys
*opens inventory to show:*
**"Dragon King's Sword of Light"**
**"Mythic Plate Armor"**
Yui's chat response is immediate and hilarious:
"LLLLLLLLLIZZZZZ YOU LIAR!!!!!!"
Net joins in, laughing:
"Haha nice one Liz, big brother's face must be PRICELESS right now!"
Yong types back, relieved and amused:
"Haha Liz, YOU GOT ME COMPLETELY
I was already imagining our next Dragon King attempt
*Dragon King's Sword of Light* and *Mythic Plate Armor*...
BEST. LOOT. DAY. EVER!"
Yui and Net erupt into laughter and congratulations in the chat:
Yui: "Yessss Liz, queen of trolls and loot getter!"
Net: "Big brother's face must have been EPIC
**In-Game Scene: Forbidden Map**
The scene cuts back to the chaotic battlefield where Dragon King defeated the other guilds:
* Enemies still clash swords, unaware of the true mastermind behind their downfall
Suddenly, Rapture Guild's leader, "DarkLord", breaks through the fray:
"STOP FIGHTING, FOOLS!"
The battling guild members halt, puzzled, as DarkLord continues:
"We've been PLAYED.
A clever group exploited our alliance and stole the Dragon King kill from under our noses!"
Eclipse Squad's leader, "ShadowMaster", asks:
"But how could they claim the loot before we even realized..."
DarkLord's expression turns grim:
"I'm not saying they got everything...
But I'm certain they acquired the MOST VALUABLE rewards.
That monk and wind walker duo was no ordinary team..."
Blackout Team's leader, "OneShot", grits his teeth:
"We need to identify them and reclaim our honor... and possibly lost loot."
The defeated guilds begin discussing revenge plans...
Meanwhile, Yong, Long, Lyn, Liz, Yui, and Net remains unaware of the chaos they inspired, celebrating their epic loot in their secret hideout.
**Scene cuts to reality: Kael's gaming room**
Kael turns away from his monitor, a huge grin on his face, and praises Yui:
"Nice job in there, sis! Our team totally crushed it!"
Yui looks up from her own screen, mixed feelings on her face:
"Honestly, Kael... your plan was kinda evil. Manipulating those guilds like that..."
Kael laughs and nods:
"Hey, all's fair in gaming! And it paid off – we got insane loot!"
Yui raises an eyebrow, still slightly concerned about his tactics.
Kael notices her expression and adds:
"Anyway, since this run was so successful... I've got a surprise for you!"
Yui's curiosity is piqued:
"What is it?"
"I'll create another character for you – one you'll actually like playing – not just supporting me as 'Yui' in Conquer Online!"
Yui's eyes widen with excitement:
"REALLY?! Oh my gosh, Big Brother, yes please! What class will I get to play?!"
**Kael's gaming room**
Yui's excitement hangs in the air as she awaits Kael's response:
"What class will I get to play?!"
But before Kael can answer,
ALL SEVEN MONITORS in Kael's gaming room suddenly flicker and display a massive announcement:
**OFFICIAL CONQUER ONLINE ANNOUNCEMENT**
**VIRTUAL REALITY EVOLUTION COMING SOON!**
The room falls silent as Yui and Kael read the update details:
"After overwhelming positive feedback from our Beta testers,
we're thrilled to announce that Conquer Online will be evolving into a
**FULL IMMERSION VIRTUAL WORLD GAME**
* Explore the world of Conquer Online like never before
* Interact with NPCs and players in fully realized 3D environments
* Experience intense battles with realistic physics and movements
* New gameplay mechanics, classes, and features will be added
**CURRENT PROGRESS:**
* Beta testing of VR modules already underway
* Estimated update release window: 6-8 weeks
* All existing accounts and progress will be transferred seamlessly
Yui's jaw drops as she turns to Kael:
"WHOAH. Virtual Reality Conquer Online?! This changes EVERYTHING!"
**Kael's gaming room*
Yui bounces up and down in her seat, excitement radiating from her face:
"This is amazing news! Virtual Reality Conquer Online is going to be EPIC!
Our gaming sessions will never be the same!"
Kael forces a casual smile, trying to match Yui's enthusiasm:
"Yeah... it's definitely going to be interesting..."
But his eyes betray a hint of concern, darting briefly to the multiple monitors behind him before returning to Yui's face.
Yui doesn't notice Kael's subtle unease, too caught up in her own excitement:
"Do you think our characters will look even cooler in VR?!"
Kael's expression remains neutral, his voice calm:
"Probably... we'll have to wait and see how the update turns out."
His internal thoughts, however, are racing with worries about the potential changes...
