70 to 80 Thieves â Lu Li estimated that there probably were more who helplessly watched as Lu Li killed their Boss. They couldnât do anything to save him, even though they were only a dozen yards away.
Before the Priests learnt Mass Dispel, there was nothing they could to stop a Thiefâs Gale Steps.
The Thieves did try to rush towards him and surround him so that his movement was limited. They were trying to wait for the Stealth to run out and kill him when he appears.
But Lu Liâs Detection Badge helped him in this situation as he weaved through the Thieves who were just running around and left the circle.
Lu Li: Pass a video around, Sorrowless is dead.
Lu Liâs voice echoed in the noisy chatroom. His tone was calm, like he had just killed some ordinary monsters.
At this moment, everyone was preparing a defence outside of the Warsong Canyon. They expected to be able to hold this location for a little while.
The guild leaders also realised at this point that they didnât have that much commanding power. In the whole game, there were 10 million Light Faction players, but they could barely command 1 million.
Lu Liâs voice was being transmitted through this mess of voices.
The chat room then quickly went quiet, not only in voice chat but also in text chat. Those that didnât hear him quickly looked through the chat logs.
Unexpectedly, the first person to respond didnât question the authenticity of Lu Liâs claim. After all, he had just killed Blood Dagger not long ago. However, he was unable to accept Lu Liâs indifference.
This was Sorrowless, someone who had spent so much effort in games but still lost.
How could he describe it; like he had just killed a chicken!
Hornetâs Nest: Sorrowless is dead, haha. Sorrowless is dead!
Jade Flower Lover: The video, the video of him dying - quickly post it onto the forums.
Stellar Union Silver Radiant: Hahaha, it really happened, you really killed Sorrowless.
Lu Li: It was all thanks to your item. Otherwise I wouldnât even have had the opportunity.
Everyone in the chatroom then started talking at once; most of them were just repeated messages.
The Regional Channel also contained these same messages.
The video post also contained the same messages.
Sorrowless died!
It didnât actually mean anything that he died; dying in the Warsong Canyon didnât cost any EXP.
The equipment that he dropped wasnât anything good either.
It was just a level 15 Silver equipment that would cause an ordinary player to jump for joy but was not good enough for a top-level player.
But if someone said something like that, he definitely would be hated.
Because this was Sorrowless.
The Glory Capital God.
Itâs said that he had been playing games since he was 16 and after a decade of gaming, he was now a legend.
In the game he played, Death Maiden, he had a huge impact on players of both factions.
When the Evil Faction players who were furiously fighting in the war saw the World Announcement, they were dumbfounded. When they turned their heads, they saw him, looking over all the living things, standing where their leader was standing.
Now, this Meisnera fight and the Silvering Outpost destruction quests had both been sidelined.
This day would be written onto the history books.
The legend who had never been killed before had just died.
No one would remember that Sorrowless was only level 18 whilst Lu Li the bounty hunter was level 22. Nor would they care the method used involved tricking Sorrowless into letting his guard down.
But Lu Li didnât care about any of this. After he passed the video to Jade Flower Lover, he immediately went to the Meisnera Outpost.
Lu Li requested an invite. âAdd me into the party.â
âDidnât you go with Moonlight to PVP? Why did you come back to farm again?â Azure Sea Breeze was once again running his mouth.
âLooks like I wonât need to take you to the Revenant Lands then,â Lu Li grunted.
Azure Sea Breeze immediately changed his tune. âSisters, everyone, welcome Lu Li into the party. Our rank 1 player, oh sorry, our former rank 1 player. The rank 1 position has been stolen away.â
Lu Li checked the rankings. Although he hadnât fallen far behind, he was now outside of the top ten.
The first ten players were all level 23. Azure Sea Breeze and Lonesome Flower were rank four and six respectively. The first player was Blood Red War Flagâs Not An Elementary Student whilst the second and third were players from Seventh Heaven.
Whilst Azure Sea Breeze and the group were farming the whole time, they just couldnât compare to those players who brought along several groups of mages for focused farming.
But now that Lu Li had gotten the materials, he could make a whole bunch of bombs. So the level rankings were not yet set in stone.
The party didnât just contain members from their group. Lu Li had also asked some Drizzle Court players to help them. There was Little Bear Huan Huan, Willow, and Donât Hit Dou Dou. Additionally, there was also Lin, Ling, and Beautiful Moonlight.
These were three Mages that Lu Li had worked with before. When Lu Li was helping Drizzle Court break the record for an Instance Dungeon, he did it with these players.
âHow is the tactical situation?â Wandering asked.
âNot bad, we have the perfect number of players. How about we just go back to levelling here,â Lu Liâs hands were constantly moving, dealing with one Water Elemental after another.
âHas Sorrowless really been killed?â Sesame Rice Ball couldnât bear not to ask.
Lu Li paused before responding calmly, âShould be.â
The Evil Faction players likely thought it was an undercover player who had assassinated Sorrowless. It could not have been a Light Faction player.
In the Light Faction, there was just news that Sorrowless had been killed, but there was no indication as to who did it. Hornetâs Nest and the others were all backed by guilds with top players; none of them would be willing to advertise that a non-guild player did it.
Guilds usually put in a large amount of resources to create a super expert that would represent the guild. These experts would then help the guild build up more fame.
This kind of game has existed for many years and so it was an interest to countless people.
Even Swirling Left Eye and Staring Right Eye wouldnât reveal this secret, even though they hoped that Lu Li would run into some bad luck. They too were products of this system.
If they left the Imperial Secret Service, they would be left with nothing.
He didnât want to put himself on center stage, so naturally Lu Li must not have any opinion about it.
Before long, the system notified him that he had received 500,000 dollars.
Sorrowless was worth 200,000, Blood Dagger was worth 100,000 and the remaining 200,000 was probably money for him to stay quiet.
He was the one who should be called the legendary gamer because he made 500,000 in one day.
If he wasnât a person of ordinary status, he would have received the title of the gameâs first assassin.
Instead, Lu Li just farmed and chatted away freely with his friends.
Soon the news came that the Evil Faction troops had retreated. Glory Capital and its dependencyâs forces had all pulled back, leaving the other scattered players and the smaller guilds. These remaining players stood no chance in breaking the defence line.
There was also news that Sorrowless just revived in their base camp.
Someone who saw him said that his complexion was indifferent. He didnât have the breathless expression like someone who had just been completely destroyed.
Someone heard thatâŠ
This was Azeroth, a world of adventure. It was also a world full of hearsay.
System: The quest âDefend the Meisnera Outpostâ is complete. EXP has been awarded. Equipment has been awarded. Glory has been awarded.
It wasnât much EXP, but it was enough to take Lu Li to level 23.
The equipment was a level 20 Silver Dagger. Its attributes were decent, but the effect was quite mediocre. It wasnât good enough to replace either one of Lu Liâs exquisite daggers.
The Water Elements retreated and returned to the sea. High Disciple Anzelin of the Twillight Hammer was nowhere to be found.
The âDefend the Meisnera Outpostâ was over but there were still two hours left in the day; Lu Li was physically and mentally exhausted. He logged off really early to get some rest, not even bothering to count the amount of Starwood he had in his mailbox.
