Chapter 1003: Jet Glider
Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations
Most of the other drops were just ordinary Dumplings, for example, increase damage by 5 for 20 minutes, or give a skill a fire attribute after use. These were somewhat useful, but a little too much for players like Lu Li.
Fortunately, Lu Li was a tough person and wouldn’t be shaken even if he received a large number of worthless drops.
He had chosen a monster that was a similar level to him, so even if he didn’t find any good Dumplings he would still be gaining decent EXP. Not to mention, the multi-legged monster carapace was widely used, so he could sell them for money or put them in the guild warehouse.
“You people truly are shameless! How did you get that item?!”
An angry shout interrupted Lu Li’s thoughts, but he didn’t stop what he was doing. He was a curious person, and not to mention he was currently in a buffed state from his weapon.
“Give up the item and you will be spared. Don’t think that we can’t just kill you for it.”
It was clear that this wasn’t just one person. Although Lu Li was far away, his ears couldn’t help but listen out for more.
Lu Li thought that the location he had chosen was quite remote. He didn’t think that trouble would come looking for him, but it was bound to eventually happen.
Another closer group had already seen Lu Li.
This masked Thief didn’t even go into Stealth. He continuous attacked the monster before him and moved on to the next systematically. He dealt with the monsters within three attacks, each taking less than 10 seconds. The monsters didn’t even have a chance to fight back.
The players were also a little slow to take action; they knew the strength of the monsters that were in this area.
There were level 50 monsters here!
Most players had to avoid them, but they seemed to be completely vulnerable to this masked man.
This player was able to kill level 40-50 monsters within three attacks. If they didn’t see it with their own eyes, they would never believe it. Even now, they wondered if they were dreaming.
“Lu Li?”
They asked this in a private chat, as the other party clearly didn’t want to reveal his ident.i.ty.
In fact, when an average person saw such a strong Thief, they wouldn’t feel like it was Lu Li because he had taken the Agility route. Only those Thieves that focused on Strength would not use Stealth and attack like this.
“Are you here?”
Lu Li didn’t even have to look; he could already tell who he was talking to by the voice.
“Yep, I am following this group of players,” Water Fairy responded. “Can you help me? My players won’t be here for a while.”
“Have a listen.”
Lu Li originally wanted to be here alone, but changed his mind after thinking about it. He couldn’t always just care about money. He had recently been making Goblin Jumper Cables, which were bound to earn him a handsome sum.
If you already had food and shelter, that was enough.
“Blood Red War Flag fought a Zodiac Beast, but its drop was stolen. It also always drops upon death. It is currently on the black armored Berserker in front of the group; come and help me get it,” Water Fairy said.
“Zodiac Beast?” Lu Li frowned.
He wanted to tell Water Fairy that the Zodiac Beast didn’t drop equipment, only some peculiar items. Some of these were good, but most of them were pretty useless. It was hardly a thing worth fighting over.
“It is said to be a Jet Glider thing that looks quite useful,” Water Fairy explained before Lu Li even asked what the item was.
Lu Li was stunned – so that was the item!
The Jet Glider was not a piece of equipment; you just needed to have it in your backpack. When you used, a set of mechanical wings would appear behind the player. Aesthetically, they looked quite good, but most players wanted it for its special effect.
After the mechanical wings appeared, the player could choose to be boosted in any direction. Usually, a player would choose to fly towards the sky, which effectively helped them avoid grounds attacks.
After rus.h.i.+ng into the sky, the player could dive back down. They were also able to use crowd-control skills in the air, so this was very useful for both chasing and escaping.
However, the Jet Glider wasn’t available to everyone. The item also had a 100% chance of being dropped on death, so most players who had this would just end up giving it to someone else.
If it really was the Jet Glider, then Lu Li was interested. After all, turning into a crow required a certain amount of channeling time. It just wasn’t comparable to the instantaneous start of the Jet Glider
“Are you helping or not?” Water Fairy asked.
These players were running as they fought, and were just about to pa.s.s Lu Li’s location.
Although they thought that Lu Li was strong, they didn’t worry much about him. He was just a single player, and he wouldn’t dare to engage such a large group of them.
“We have to close in on the black Berserker and one shot him together,” Lu Li said.
“Wow, so direct…” Water Fairy was speechless.
“Otherwise, there will be more players coming after us.”
Lu Li’s hands kept up the pace, so the effect of the Killing Star equipment remained on him.
Killing Star Bracer (Gold): Armor 35, Agility+20, Strength+12, Attack+%, Special effect 1: Attack increases by %, critical strike chance increases by 15%, lasts for 30 seconds. Cooldown 30 minutes. Special effect 2: Upon successfully slaying a target within thirty seconds, attack increases by 1%, stacks up to %. Level Requirement, Durability 82/82.
If he maintained the effect of the Killing Stars, each of his attacks would have double damage.
“Three, two, one, attack!” Just as the group pa.s.sed Lu Li and was about to leave, Lu Li moved in. He used his shoes’ special effect to appear directly behind the black-armored Warrior.
The attention of the black-armored Warrior’s teammates was mostly placed on their pursuers. They didn’t think that Lu Li, a solo player, would so blatantly attack them from behind.
At the same time Lu Li started attacking, Water Fairy had also come over to partic.i.p.ate in dealing damage.
Water Fairy’s dealt more than 300 damage per attack, but Lu Li’s attacks were almost 600-700 each. With these attacks, even a Main Tank wouldn’t last more than 30 seconds.
Moreover, he was already being pursued by another group of players, so he didn’t have full HP to begin with.
The black-armored Warrior let out an angry roar, but that didn’t stop his HP from dropping. The least it could do was attract the attention of his teammates.
The group of badly injured players finally found out that the player they were trying to protect was almost dead.
The Healer quickly started to heal while the others gave up on attacking the pursuing players to target Lu Li and Water Fairy. The chaotic scene had grown even more chaotic.
The pursuers were now blocked off by a group of players who had turned their backs on them. However, they weren’t going to wait to see what had happened. Instead, they just attacked with all they had as well, making use of big area of effect crowd control and skills. This turned out to be quite convenient for Lu Li and Water Fairy.
“Let’s go!”
After taking the item from the fallen Warrior, Lu Li cast Gale Steps and fled.
