Chapter 1571: Almost Wasn’t Auctioned

“As for Her Tears’s side, talk to them yourself. After all, he’s been worried about not having a fight the whole day,” Lu Li suggested. He shrugged his shoulders and refused to continue discussing this topic. Along with Ruling Sword’s rising strength, they had also made a big entrance in the arena, got First Clear after First Clear in Instance Dungeons, and performed pretty well against Wild Bosses. On top of that, they also defeated the Gangnam Royals. These achievements allowed the club to enter a short period of stability.

The other clubs didn’t begrudgingly beat them down like they would in the past. Instead, conflicts and battles with them began to decrease. As for other ordinary medium and small sized guilds, they didn’t recklessly provoke the stronger clubs that had won competitions. Lu Li also forbade the club from actively provoking other players and Her Tears grew more and more gloomy.

Human-like bosses would also use summoning magic. The boss summoned bats just like the last fight; the difference was that this time, the bats didn’t flood in and attack the players. Instead, the bats had become airborne forces that flew even higher than usual and dropped flaming projectiles onto the players below. There was no way to deal with them from the ground!

If these flaming projectiles damaged the players, it would then do continuous Fire damage. And any projectiles that landed on the ground would turn the area into a pocket of flames that does comparable damage to Fireballs.

Not long after, the field of grass had turned into blazing flames. At this stage, it was really easy for the whole team to die. Under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t be considered a lot if the whole team died eight or ten times. The fire damage was high, and it was distributed within a small crowded area. If any of the players were not careful and rushed in, they might end up dying quickly. The pressure was especially high for the healers because they not only had to keep the other players alive, but themselves as well. If they lost too many healers, then naturally, the whole team would die.

However, today was different. Or maybe we could say it was Lu Li’s team that was different. Even if it was Glory Capital, they couldn’t scrape together even two famous competitive priests to be their main healers. March Rain, Star Baby, along with Wendelian from Gale Legion were known as the Three Great Pretty Priests. Adding these two priests to the team would guarantee that most people would at least be able to survive the flames.

As for the other healer, Hachi Chan, she didn’t even need to cast any special abilities. Lu Li had seen her sneakily drink a bottle of something unknown. Only after asking her did he know that it was a fancy fire protection potion. So even if she was damaged by the fire, it wouldn’t be life-threatening. It was a shame that it was bound to her so only she could use it.

So as the boss’s health got lower and lower, everyone realised in surprise that the whole team had only died once before they would defeat High Priestess Jeklik. A few of the female Troll Worshippers had stayed behind lying down on the ground.

“I realised that if we keep up the pace, we really have a chance at finishing this Instance Dungeon in two days,” Azure Sea Breeze urged, “Don’t waste time Dream. Quickly loot the body!”

“Wait a second. I’m so tired,” Remnant Dream groaned, sitting on the ground eating something to refuel. The way for getting equipment in this Instance Dungeon was a little different. Apart from the monsters dropping conventional loot, they would also drop things like coins and gems. These gems and coins were exchanged for the set equipment that only Zul’Gurub had.

The attributes of this set equipment were a bit better than that of T1 equipment, but a bit worse than T2. The players called this T1.5. The reason T1.5 existed was basically for the benefit of those players whose power was not strong enough to go down to Black Wing’s Nest and Molten Core.

If they got a set of Zul’Gurub’s T1.5 set equipment, then their power levels would improve reasonably well. Zul’Gurub was easier than Black Wing’s Nest for the ordinary players to clear. If it was too difficult for ordinary players, then they wouldn’t be able to keep up.

All in all, there were nine different types of coins: Gurubashi, Hakkari, Razzashi, Sandfury, Broken, Zulian, Vile, Deadwood and Bloodscalp. There were seven colours of Hakkari gems altogether – gold, purple, red, blue, orange, green, silver and bronze.

To change equipment, you needed two specific coins, a specific gem and a model of the equipment that a boss dropped. Coins and gems were dropped by little monsters. In order to get as many of these as possible, Lu Li specifically let Remnant Dream loot all of the little monsters’ drops. This was a really difficult task especially since Remnant Dream still had to provide damage output like the other players.

After resting for a bit, Remnant Dream slowly went up next to the boss. Strengthening Stones and Synthetic Gems – there were about ten of the former, and the attributes of the latter weren’t too bad either. However, there wasn’t anything particularly good. They were worse drops compared to Black Wing’s Nest, but the average elite player would definitely still be able to mount these stones and gems onto their top-level equipment.

In his past life, Lu Li had participated in a few battles in this Instance Dungeon. At that time, he was already at the end of level 60, and the equipment in this Instance Dungeon greatly increased the quality of his own equipment. It was a shame that not long after, there was a new map and edition, and the limit for levels had increased to 70. That moment of achievement which had taken him so long to get disappeared quickly.

Lu Li had a strong natural talent in gaming —past or present— this was certain without a doubt. In his past life, there was no way for him to become a top competitor. This was because he entered the game too late. Star Moon Guild really wasn’t the right place for able players to join. By the end of his gaming career in his previous life, he had also wronged those in his guild which further limited his advancement.

Whoever wanted the Synthetic Gems could take them. They didn’t even need DKP. The Strengthening Stones were given to Lu Li to be shared evenly later. Basically no one wanted Gold or Dark Gold equipment. Lu Li took the equipment with rubbish quality and gave it to the students that were learning to Enchant. These equipment could be broken down for materials for Enchanting, and Enchanting could increase the power of equipment. As long as the materials weren’t too expensive, team members could get simple enchantments for free.

Primal Hakkari Girdle!

This was Zul’Gurub’s T1.5 set equipment. The girdle could be given to Thieves, Shamans or Warriors to change their belt or pauldrons. After the prestige of Zul’Gurub was honoured, they changed their equipment and went directly to the island in the northeast in Stranglethorn Vale.

“Warriors, Thieves and Shamans. if you want it and don’t have it, you can go change the equipment for ten DKP points,” Lu Li told them.

There was an unlively, rough description made of Zul’Gurub’s set equipment. Everyone knew that it couldn’t compare with T2 equipment, and the people in Lu Li’s team were basically all competitive players; all of the strongest players in the game at the moment. Basically no one was interested in this sort of equipment.

“You all—” Lu Li sighed.

“How about I take it for fun then,” Moonlight suggested, standing up and showing initiative.

“Fine,” Lu Li said, taking a breath. If these toys didn’t get auctioned, then it would have been a tragedy.

Moonlight didn’t take it reluctantly or anything. After all, the quality of this equipment wasn’t bad. For someone like him who loved to PVP and died frequently, it was more than good enough as backup equipment. Also for ten DKP, it wasn’t too expensive.
