Chapter 1188: Come and Trick Us
Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations
At last, came the final boss. The bottom floor had complex geography, but the area was actually smaller than Blackrock Depths, so the number of Bosses that it could contain was limited. On top of this, Lu Li and the others left out two Bosses. They had actually taken a lot of time to reach the end Boss.
Now was a good time to sell their guide if they really wanted to.
If the First Clear announcement was made, the value of the guide would decrease greatly, unless Lu Li wasn’t planning on selling it or if he was satisfied with this.
Lu Li had been considering his options the entire journey, and in the end, he still decided to sell the guide.
Ruling Sword was too poor, and they needed a huge sum of money. Usually, there would be some sort of rich business background to back up a club and a super big guild. However, Lu Li didn’t want to develop his guild like that. All industries had cautionary tales of the greed and short vision of businesses.
But how much money should he sell this for? 5 million? 10 million?
Five million was only enough for Ruling Sword to purchase materials for a month or compensate for a large scale Wild PVP. Ten million wasn’t too much better either. Previously, when Glory Capital pressured Ruling Sword with their alliance during the Wild Boss fights, Ruling Sword had already lost a few million.
Lu Li and Square Root 3 discussed for a bit and finally reached a decent conclusion.
Rare material!
During the rest time, Lu Li had the others eat and relax a little while he contacted Her Tears. If Glory Capital believed that Her Tears was a traitor, then they might as well let this traitor ‘betray’ Ruling Sword over the long run.
“Are we selling it? These people have increased the price to 8 million, and they’re still willing to negotiate.”
Her Tears had waited around for a long time already. Glory Capital was beginning to lose their patience and had started handing out all kinds of promises.
The price had already been risen to 8 million and they also promised on top that if Lady Tears left Ruling Sword, they would immediately give him an elite group member spot.
They could even let him join the training of professional compet.i.tors, and as long as his results weren’t too poor, they would let him partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion. On top of this, they also promised him all kinds of benefits in real life. Chopsticks even offered to introduce his cousin to him, and Her Tears was almost tempted.
Fortunately, Her Tears didn’t lack any of these things that Glory Capital had offered.
It wasn’t impossible for him to partic.i.p.ate in the match. Lu Li had told him a long time ago that he could a.s.sign pa.s.sionate PVP players to the match ground if the compet.i.tion wasn’t too major.
In fact, Glory Capital wouldn’t allow Her Tears to show up on major compet.i.tions either.
“Sell it!” Lu Li let out a long breath, then sent a list across, “This time, we don’t want money. We’ll take the things on this list in exchange. The overall price of these items won’t be more than 8 million in total.”
“Ss… d.a.m.n, you’re good. This is a solid trap.”
Even if Her Tears wasn’t interested in dungeons, he was at least interested in Wild Bosses, because events in the wild often included PVP. He knew that the rare materials on this list all came from Wild Bosses.
“They’ll agree to it,” Lu Li said confidently.
Glory Capital probably owned the most rare materials in Dawn. Once they set their eyes on a Wild Boss, other guilds would give up pretty much immediately. Only a few major clubs and guilds would be able to join forces with Glory Capital to share the cake.
At the same time, Glory Capital was very precise with their calculations. They always made the best possible bargain for themselves, in which they maximized their profit without upsetting the major guilds that joined forces with them. Forming an alliance wasn’t easy in the first place, let alone splitting the profit afterwards. Besides Glory Capital, no one else really worked together.
“Alright, even if they agree, this would be too obvious. I’d expose myself. Why would a traitor like me need so many rare materials?”
Her Tears persuaded himself to agree to Lu Li, but his brain was still questioning things.
Lu Li already had an excuse ready.
“There’s no need to cover up – just say you’re interested in the rare material market, and you want to horde up rare materials. Then, subtlety hint to them that you might build your own guild in the future and hope to receive some help from Glory Capital. They might question your intent, but once they get something from you this time, they’ll still come back to you next time.”
“Alright, wait for my news,” Lady Tears agreed.
“Keep some for yourself as reward. I can’t let you do all this for nothing.”
Lu Li felt a little sorry for him. Her Tears was a player who didn’t lack any money, so it was troublesome for him to partic.i.p.ate in these kind of matters.
“Haha, boss, don’t worry about it. It’s not like you can offer me more than Glory Capital,” Her Tears laughed.
Lu Li was left speechless. This guy was way too honest.
“Didn’t you promise me before to help me with Arathi?”
Her Tears still cared about this matter. The first week champion of Arathi not only gained a mount reward, but also received a t.i.tle. This was a huge attraction to PVP players, especially prideful PVP players who loved to show off.
The champion of a battleground was usually calculated by their KDA (Kill, death and a.s.sist) scores, glory points and number of victories.
Although it was easier for compet.i.tors to obtain the champion spot, they didn’t have that much time like Lady Tears did. They had to compete, to train and to level. As such, a lot of them were still far behind. As the first season of the League compet.i.tion gradually came to an end, more and more compet.i.tors were starting to join in.
“Sure, I’ll make sure you get the first week champion,” Lu Li promised.
Arathi was a very cla.s.sic battleground, but this battleground had some sneaky tips that could be used. Strictly speaking, these were more like bugs.
Chopsticks and Castle Smokes were almost about to give up.
However, they couldn’t give up so easily yet, because the guide team that was led by White Westhill had brought back news that Highlord Omokk was still invincible right now to all current players, even if they managed to lay their hands on some good Fire Resistance equipment.
Either they needed to get everyone up to level 57, or they all needed to have an entire set of good Fire Resistance equipment. However, both options were impossible.
Fire resistance equipment was currently in short supply. Usually, if an equipment included Fire Resistance, it would eat away into the other Attributes on the equipment. It was rare to find an equipment with good Attributes that also provided Fire Resistance.
Her Tears’ reply almost made them cry; they instantly felt like they had been dragged into a trap.
“Take a look at this list. If you guys are okay with it, let’s trade. You guys have no clue how much energy I put in to steal this guide…”
What were these rare materials in exchange for the guide?
