Chapter 1413: Repairing Equipment


Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales


“Cough…cough.”


Lu Li cleared his throat then weirdly asked, “Who has a good amount of gold on them? I don’t have much money at the moment.”


“No…no money?”


“Why is there a bad feeling that our guild is going to be bankrupt soon?”


“Are you trying to scam us?”


“Criminal!”


“I’ll take away your DKP. Dreamy, stop avoiding me. Come out,” Lu Li said sternly as he took a quick step and stopped Remnant Dream who was running away.


“Help! Brother Lu Li is going to hara.s.s me!” Remnant Dream squealed.


“He’s using it to repair equipment. I have some gold here. Use this first,” Water Fairy offered.


“How can I take it? You guys are guests; I can’t take these. Don’t worry, this little brat has a lot of money.”


Lu Li ripped out a bag that contained 5000 Gold coins. This instantly solved the problem of repair.


“Take these back from Three Brother later. Your pets won’t starve. I really don’t understand why you need so many pets,” Lu Li sighed as he slapped the back of her head lightly.


“It’s gone! My gold is all gone! I don’t have money to buy food now and my pets will die of starvation one by one. I will eventually become a pet-less Hunter. No pets equals no battle power. I’m going to get kicked out, aren’t I? No one will take me in. I’ll end up homeless with money to eat either…”


The little Hunter looked like she had seen a ghost and collapsed.


“Hmph! Don’t slap my head. If you keep it up, I’m going to end up becoming dumb! What do you know?” Remnant Dream continued, expressing her frustration. “All my pets are close to having babies. By then, I will have a whole nursery! There are also chances for rare ones, so I can sell them for lots and lots of gold.”


“But would you be willing to sell?” Lu Li didn’t believe that she would make a fortune from this.


Therefore, she would have to be tight on money in the future.


It was fortunate that she was quite capable at earning money. Her current role within the guild made her quite attractive to hire, so many clubs were willing to pay a high price. However, at that time, only Ruling Sword, Drizzle Court, and Peerless City who had this privilege. If she couldn’t make money, where would she get her 5000 gold?


Under normal circ.u.mstances, they would need to repair after 10 wipes. This was the average for all cla.s.ses. Each cla.s.s would eat through their durability at different rates, as their battle style varied. The average cost for repair was 15 gold. This was also including the extra costs of Legendary and Dark Gold items. Normal players would usually only spend 1 gold to repair all their items.


When they fought Ragnaros, he had unexpectedly melted their weapons. Although this didn’t damage them, it still made Lu Li cry on the inside.


The original average number of wipes before repairing was 10 rounds, but in reality, it only took 5 wipes for them to required repairs.


Before they entered in the morning, he had brought along thousands of gold. The fight with Executus cost a fortune, and in the end, the gold coins that he brought were all spent before noon. However, with these 5000 gold coins, they wouldn’t have to worry about running out of gold for repairs for today.


The majority of teams wouldn’t be able to handle the costs from the weapon-melting skill.


The molten lava in this area dealt damage, but it also melted the players’ equipment. Only Fire-resistant gear could protect them against this effect. As such, the value of Fire-resistant equipment skyrocketed after the release of Molten Core.


From the beginning, Lu Li had already asked Shen Wansan to collect Fire-resistant gear. Although it was difficult, the Fire-resistant gear that was collected was just enough for Ruling Sword’s personal use.


After many squad wipes during the afternoon, Lu Li finally managed to lead them into P2.


Ragnaros ended up sinking in the molten lava pool.


Everyone was stunned. Was the Boss trying to escape, or was it beckoning for them to chase after him and fight him in the lava?


“No one move. Look around,” Lu Li said. Theoretically, the average person would not be able to guess what would happen next, unless they were a reborn player.


Several Scions of Fire emerged from the lava and rushed into the players’ formation.


Fortunately, Lu Li was there to remind them, so they only lost four players. However, this was still a considerable number, and inevitably led to another squad wipe.


The ones who could tank the monsters did not all die, so Lu Li immediately designated specific healers for the Main Tanks and forged onwards. He wanted to see the strength of these Scions of Fire. Otherwise, they wouldn’t make progress and would keep wiping. Raids often progressed in this manner. The first few attempts were mainly just to understand the Boss’ mechanics.


There were eight Scions of Fire, which was a terrifying number.


Azure Sea Breeze took on three of them alone, while the other Main Tanks shared the rest. Lu Li was watching Azure Sea Breeze’s health closely. His HP was fluctuating quite rapidly, so the situation was a little dangerous. As such, Lu Li told a Berserker to pull one away from him.


DPS Cla.s.ses, even if they were equipped with Plate Armor, were unsuitable for pulling monsters. Their Defenses and HP were too low, so they would require more healers.


This was a situation which required constant re-adaptation. Although they wiped again and again, Lu Li understood the Scions’ offensive strength and HP. Furthermore, he also understood the repertoire of skills that they had. These Scions’ attacks were all purely fire-based and a basic attack dealt around 800 to 1000 damage. They also had a skill that damaged enemies within 10 metres. Furthermore, this skill also burnt mana.


This skill was only activated when the players got closer than 10 metres to the Scion of Fire.


This only proved the importance of Fire-resistant gear. Lu Li even changed one of his Legendary


items to a Dark Gold item that had extremely high Fire-resistant stats. Besides the Fire-resistant stats, this item was useless. The other members followed suit, equipping as much Fire-resistant items as possible.


At the very least, they wanted to push through the Scion of Fire stage. It was fortunate that they were all level 60, so the items that they wore were mostly all level 60. If they had remained the same level from when they first started the Molten Core, they most likely wouldn’t even be able to reach this stage.


They fought the Scions of Fire again and again for the whole afternoon.


It was nearly night when the G.o.ds of the System smiled on them and they finally managed to kill all of the Scions. Furthermore, there were still Main Tanks, Healers and DPS players in the remaining team. This meant that they could hold on for a little more.


“This is a battle that you cannot run from!”


After yelling this, Ragnaros summoned b.a.l.l.s of lava and fired them at the players in the backline.


There already were not many players left, so how could they get past this?


After continually testing the Boss out, everyone was left mentally drained. Lu Li had to announce the end of the day.


It was good that they could continue tomorrow. Lu Li found that it was acceptable for them to be stuck at this place. He didn’t feel that Ruling Sword was that powerful to be able to take the Boss down today.
