Three kills!
The System’s announcements sent the players into a frenzy once again.
Getting one First Clear was obviously possible. Although it was rare, two First Clears at different times of the day had also been done before.
However, they had acquired the First Clear on three Bosses at the same time, and these Bosses sounded quite powerful as well. The players all knew that Ruling Sword and Drizzle Court had combined forces to fight and defeat these Bosses.
In addition to the World Announcements, there was a sense of great celebration when the three Bosses fell.
Since they were in the Wild, the Healers were able to revive many players from beyond the combat range. There were also many Druids around, so the party leaders could easily arrange for their party members to be revived. In the end, there weren’t actually that many players who remained dead on the ground.
The EXP of the three level 55 Bosses was split among everyone who had partic.i.p.ated.
Many players levelled up on the spot. Even if they had died once or twice, that EXP loss was very small in comparison.
Among the two thousand players, there were a fortunate few who looked particularly happy. These were the players who were lucky enough to receive Skill Points. Lu Li, as per usual, only received EXP and some prestige.
When he checked his EXP bar, he saw that he had already reached 35%. If he fought these Bosses every day, he could level up within a week.
Having said that… this wasn’t a completely implausible idea.
As someone who had experienced Rebirth, Lu Li knew a lot about Hidden Bosses. The reason he hadn’t attempted them yet was because they were very strong with little benefit. However, if they were used to train against, that was another story.
There was also the matter of the World Announcement. Lu Li had noticed something – he didn’t think that the ordinary players would be so greatly affected by achieving a First Clear, but he had clearly just seen a number of players laughing, crying and celebrating.
He didn’t have this opportunity in his previous life, but he had just become so accustomed to it now that he couldn’t understand their show of emotions.
He was already starting to calculate who would take the kill for the Boss next time, as there were already some disputes about that. After all, they were two guilds and people were generally selfish. It was impossible for them to be completely harmonious.
Drizzle Court was the subordinate in this relations.h.i.+p, but it was an indisputable fact that they had sent eight Elite Groups. These groups had a greater overall strength than Ruling Sword’s three Elite Groups and 9 quasi-Elite Groups. They didn’t even take a single casualty in the fight and had asked to take the third Boss.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, it was understandable that they wanted the third Boss.
Although the third Boss was stronger, it probably wouldn’t produce items that were much better. After all, the three Bosses were all at the same level.
This was the agreement that Lu Li and Water Fairy had previously reached anyway.
The reason why Ruling Sword was only willing to give up the second Boss and not the third Boss was because they felt like Lu Li’s command was irreplaceable. If anyone else was commanding, they would have been wiped at least one or two times before they succeeded.
Even some players in Drizzle Court thought so, not to mention that Ruling Sword was originally already fighting this Boss.
The two guild presidents were there, discussing the matter with a number of other high-level players, but Lu Li and Water Fairy weren’t saying much. Seeing that there was no end to the discussion, he sent a message to Square Root 3 saying, “Let’s not take this too far. We’ll give them the second Boss and divide the rare materials equally. We can cooperate more in the future.”
Without Drizzle Court, they wouldn’t have been able to defeat the Bosses even if Lu Li had sent out another 40 parties. The strength of their Elite Groups just couldn’t match Drizzle Court’s, not to mention the fact that they only had three of them.
When fighting Bosses like this, Elite Groups were the main force. The quasi-Elite Groups sent out by Ruling Sword were only there to help clear out the mobs.
Although Lu Li was talking about maintaining their cooperation, he was still worried about being stabbed in the back.
This kind of thing was not uncommon in the gaming circle. No could even get offended over it anymore, because every guild was guilty of doing it at least once. Even Glory Capital, under the leaders.h.i.+p of Sorrowless, had betrayed Peacetime Dynasty a number of times. This definitely had an impact on the decline of Peacetime Dynasty.
However, as soon as Drizzle Court heard his proposal, they immediately agreed.
When fighting Wild Bosses, obtaining equipment was one goal, but obtaining rare materials was an even more important one. The only condition was that they had to let Remnant Dream loot the Bosses.
Neither party had a problem with this, and Remnant Dream enjoyed looting Bosses anyway.
Since the Second Boss had been given to Drizzle Court, it was natural to start with High Priest Rockjaw Elfin.
An Epic Magic Staff!
As a Shaman, Elfin dropped an Epic Shaman exclusive Magic Staff. It had excellent Attributes, but was currently limited by its level 55 Level Requirement.
Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ruling Sword didn’t have any powerful Shamans. The strongest they had was Sakura Memories, but she wasn’t building to be a healer. The Epic Shaman Magic Staff was for Healers and could increase their strength by 30%.
Drizzle Court had plenty of girls who played Shaman, and they were very satisfied with this equipment.
The second item was a pair of Dark Gold Plate Armor Boots with strong attributes. Azure Sea Breeze and other Plate Armor professions looked at it longingly, but it also had a level 55 Level Requirement.
The third item was a Dark Gold Leather Glove Mold, which Water Fairy took.
The fourth item was a Gold Chain Main Amour Mold. If you paid attention to the name, you would know that it was a Shaman item. Although they couldn’t see its attributes, it was probably not that high-levelled and could be equipped at level 50.
There was also a skill Book for ‘Tranquility’, a rare material and two Strengthening Stones.
There were nearly ten items dropped by Elfin due to the First Clear buff. This harvest was bountiful, but it was a shame that there were no Strengthened Skill Books.Of course, Lu Li felt like most of this was because of their lucky looting girl.
Many other players thought the same thing, as Remnant Dream was receiving a number of private messages. They were all about her joining Drizzle Court – how they would be kind to her, catch cute pets with her, make her more beautiful…
The remaining two Bosses belonged to Ruling Sword.
