When Shi Lei left, he ran towards the ATM as he did not forget about the 9,300 yuan that belonged to him.
Except as soon as he ran out, he was blocked off by Xu Yi. Then he received a call from Zhang Meimei and Shi Lei ran to Zhang Liangliang’s place whilst munching on steamed buns, so naturally, he didn’t have time to talk to the Scepter.
Now that he finally finished what he needed to do, Shi Lei headed back to school and went to the self-service bank to talk to the Scepter. When he walked to the front of the bank and pulled the door, he b.u.mped head first into a fatty.
When Shi Lei opened the door, there was no one behind the gla.s.s door, which meant that the fatty sprinted from the inside. Shi Lei wanted to scold him subconsciously but as he raised his eyes, he realised that this fatty was his friend.
Except for that fatty Zhang Mo, no one has such fat like him. The scolding also turned into swearing.
“f.u.c.king fatty are you blind? Are you in a hurry to be reborn into a baby or something? Suddenly appearing like a crazy man, you think you are a ninja? I’ve never seen a ninja with your physique though, don’t tell me sumo is counted as part of ninjutsu?”
Zhang Mo was not mad at the slightest, but he was rather surprised and happy. He pulled Shi Lei over and said: “s.h.i.t, I’ve been looking for you for so long. Why aren’t my calls going through you f.u.c.k?”
Shi Lei just remembered that Sun Yiyi also said that her calls didn’t go through. He pulled out his phone and checked. His phone ran out of battery and turned off by itself. He was fighting with the Scepter for so long last night and didn’t really sleep well. When he fell asleep in the morning, he forgot to charge his phone.
“Oh, it ran out of battery!”
“Alright, this must be fate. Hurry up and follow me!” Zhang Mo didn’t even give Shi Lei any time to react and pulled him out of the door of the self-service bank.
“Are you rushing to a funeral? I need to get some money; I have nothing left on me.” Shi Lei felt like he was flying. There was really nothing he could against someone whose weight was twice as much as him.
Zhang Mo dragged him like he was flying and said: “We’re going into a dungeon soon and we are just missing you. You can just withdraw money after you finish the dungeon with us, money won’t fly away from your card anyway! I’m telling you, today is the first time people can play the dungeon on the whole server. Heaps of people have their eyes on it. There’s more than 50% chance of a good item drop. The guild announcement said that it will be a purple-gold level item that’s never seen before. I made a team and blocked off the entrance. Everyone’s fighting right now. If we can get this dungeon, our red names can be cancelled.”
“Even if that’s the case, you don’t need to send me flying! My feet aren’t even touching the floor anymore! Really dude? It’s just a dungeon!”
“Rubbish! Of course, this is serious. Obviously, someone like you wouldn’t care. But I, as a future professional player, finally have a chance to get the ‘first clear’ of a dungeon, how can I miss that? Now that our names are red, and deep red at that, if we don’t do this, how long will it take to return to normal? Are you that hard hearted to see your bro being chased and murdered for the whole month?”
Shi Lei said earnestly as he flew: “Yup!”
“Holy f.u.c.k!” Zhang Mo yelled in a weird tone, but still dragged Shi Lei into the Internet Café.
Shi Lei’s account in this game was a mage, but the level was rather low. He didn’t really take it seriously and only played it when he was bored. But because of his good timing, he was rather well known in the server. Originally, Zhang Mo had an ok mage in the team, but the ok wasn’t due to his skills, but to the level of the account. If Shi Lei played on that account, they would have more guarantee on the success of the dungeon. And for the sake of it, Zhang Mo looked for Shi Lei the whole afternoon and now that he finally b.u.mped into him, there was no way that he’d let him go.
As soon as Zhang Mo went into the Internet Café, he yelled: “We’ll definitely get the dungeon! I caught s.h.i.tou! Mage, hurry up and give up the spot and let s.h.i.tou have it!”
The mage did not hesitate at all. This was the first time clearing the new dungeon and he knew that his skills weren’t good. If he was to play, the chance of them succeeding won’t exceed 30%. But if Shi Lei played, the chance would at least increase another 30% or even 40%. With 60% or 70% chance to win, they should be able to take this dungeon down.
Zhang Mo obviously won’t mistreat his bro. He said loudly: “You don’t need me to say how important this dungeon is. All the benefits will fall onto your mage account in the end. So, all the item drops will belong to s.h.i.tou, do you have a problem with that?”
Although the mage was rather unwilling, but he knew that the situation was stronger than the person himself, so he could only agree.
But the others said: “This is not related to us. If the purple-gold item really drops, we should roll.”
“What the f.u.c.k? Aren’t you guys shameless? Without s.h.i.tou, our win ratio is barely 30%. If we can succeed, even if you don’t say that all the credit goes to s.h.i.tou, at least the majority is! Don’t give me the c.r.a.p. We’ll follow the old rules. The type of item belongs to the corresponding occupation!” Zhang Mo was extremely unwilling to do so as he yelled loudly.
“That won’t work. There’s a possibility that a purple-gold level item will drop and will be the first on the whole server. Even if I don"t use it, I can sell it! It doesn’t matter how low the win ratio may be, there’s still a chance. Why do you say that we can definitely get it if s.h.i.tou plays?”
Even that mage thought that he was at a disadvantage. He b.u.t.ted in and said: “Exactly. I admit that my skills aren’t as good as s.h.i.tou, but this is my account. If s.h.i.tou uses his own account, your success or failure has nothing to do with me. I invested quite a lot in this account, why does s.h.i.tou gets all the items? Fatty, this is too much. If you are going to be like this, then either I’ll play or s.h.i.tou can play with his own account.”
Zhang Mo was furious as he heard that. He threw the mouse away and said: “Then you guys do it yourself, I"m out! f.u.c.king h.e.l.l, we agreed on it before and now you are all turning on it?!”
After this, those people became quiet. Fatty’s account was a warrior and he did not only play a major role in DPS, but he was also a healer. They all expected him to tank the damage at the front and if he really quits, then they really have no other way to doing this.
The truth was that Shi Lei didn’t really care. Seeing that the situation was rather stiff, he knew that Zhang Mo was only trying to fight for more benefits for him, but he did not want to see them fail after preparing so much for it.
So, Shi Lei said: “What about this, other than the purple-gold level item that might be dropped, for all the other items, as a mage, I get to pick at least two items first. If the purple-gold level item really dropped, then I agree to roll. And, if it really dropped and I rolled it, then sorry, it must be mine. But it doesn’t matter what the other items are, I won’t ask for it and they are all yours for your mage, how about that? When you choose the other items, you can pick it yourself. Yes or no, if no, we’ll leave.”
It was rather reasonable. Other people definitely won’t care except rolling for the purple-gold level item, except for that mage who hesitated for a while. He thought that the chance of the item dropping was only half, and these many people will roll, the chance of him getting it was even slimmer. But the first kill of the dungeon will definitely have good drops and he could pick any as Shi Lei won’t take any. In this way, he was already taking advantage of Shi Lei and he finally agreed.
After everyone agreed, someone yelled: “The dungeon’s open!”
Everyone went into their positions and went inside the dungeon. Shi Lei also plugged in his phone to his laptop to charge.
