December came, but the weather was nowhere near being cold, especially in the South. Lu Li had barely seen snow in his life, which probably had something to do with Global Warming.
Lu Li wasnāt too concerned about these issues. He added another bed in his sisterās ward so he could play games on it.
They had spent their lives together with the support of each other and felt safe in each otherāsā presence.
"These are Advanced Healing Potions, these are Antidotes, bonus Agility potions, bonus Constitution potions and bonus Intelligence potions. Iāve prepared everything that I can possibly think of for you," Square Root 3 said as he traded a bunch of items to Lu Li. He was like a reliable concierge.
Compared to his previous guild, his position in Ruling Sword was higher.
Lu Li didnāt know how to be a proper guild master, so Square Root 3 took over the responsibilities. He moved from an elder straight to the guild master.
Unfortunately, he didnāt get to enjoy his time relaxing as a guild master. He had more tiring details to look after than before.
"Thanks for the hard work," Lu Li said as he patted Square Root 3ās shoulderās in a sorry manner before he continued, "About me giving away the First Clear this time..."
"Donāt worry about it. Hehe, we all get it," Square Root 3 laughed as he cracked a smile across his face.
"Donāt joke around ā Iām using the profit of the guild to return my own personal debt. This isnāt a right thing for me to do." Lu Li shook his head with a bitter laugh and insisted to apologize.
It wasnāt right for him to pretend nothing had happened.
What if Square Root 3 felt like Lu Li was giving away the First Clear of the guild so he could please a girl?
They had agreed to work hard together, to form the biggest guild and club in the game, to change everyoneās living standards.
If the guild master was unhappy, the others wouldnāt be happy either. It wasnāt like everyone was going to betray him, but this could be a seed that grew into something horrible in the future.
"Itās really nothing; itās only one First Clear of a dungeon. Weāve already have quite a lot of these." Before Ruling Sword was formed by Lu Li, he had already scored countless First Clears, but these were all attributed to the guild.
In terms of First Clears in Dawn, Ruling Sword was definitely the first place in the game.
"Itās not right to mix personal issues with the guild." Lu Li had to admit this ā he might be the boss of the guild with superior authority, but it wasnāt right for him to abuse his power.
"Itās not as big as you think, I feel like itās better to give our First Clear to Drizzle Court," Square Root 3 said with a smile.
"ā¦" Lu Li didnāt understand what he meant.
"Think about it." Square Root 3 held onto Lu Liās shoulders and explained, "Look at all these big guilds. Some of them have already spent two days to try and complete this dungeon. Which one of them are capable of saying that theyāll give the First Clear to Drizzle Court."
The first boss was an easy kill, but most people were stuck on the second.
There were plenty of people in the major guilds, so they werenāt afraid to waste time. The elite teams could take turns to explore the dungeon, but they had already spent two days doing this and none of them had any hope of completing it. Apparently, even Sorrowless had entered the dungeon, but came out empty-handed.
"Uhm, the First Clear wonāt even be ours. Donāt you think this will impact our reputation?" Lu Li asked.
"Somewhat, but barely," Square Root 3 assured. "Iāll tell you something ā ever since weāve formed an alliance with Drizzle Court, our guild entry applications have increased by at least thirty percent every day."
"Why? Is Drizzle Court really that impactful?" Lu Li was confused.
It was just an alliance, and there were plenty guilds in the game who had formed one. However, in desperate situations, the alliance was always only a weak bond that could easily be broken.
"Drizzle Court is filled with girls. Not only do they have a lot of them, but all of them are of the best quality. Donāt look down on something like this ā itās the most popular thing in the game," Square Root 3 explained as his eyes lit up. Lu Li almost thought that he was the type of guy who was willing to do anything to get a girl.
"Alright, enough chit chat," Lu Li said as he punched him. "Iāve got somethings to do; I have to go first."
"So early today?" Square Root 3 was confused ā some of the players from Xin Xin Mercenary Group werenāt even online yet. There was probably still some time until Remnant Dream and Hachi Chan logged on.
"The dungeon run is at ten; Iāve got some private issues to resolve." Lu Li didnāt wait for Square Root 3 to ask any further; he said goodbye and left.
He used the remaining Priestessā Blessing on his shoulder to teleport to Moonlight Forest.
As the home of the Demigod Cenarius, this place was showered eternally by the moonlight. It was as beautiful as it always had been, and was so quiet that some would think they were walking in their dreams.
Lu Li felt like if he just laid on the grass for a nap, he would be able to enter the legendary world of Emerald Dreams.
Because of the Priestessā Blessing, Lu Li only needed to express his request for him to be brought to Remulos. Although Lu Li knew where Remulos was, it was impolite for him to run around and intrude into someone elseās territory.
"Good to see you again." Remulos wasnāt sleeping this time.
"Iām glad to see you, son of Cenarius. Iāve come to upgrade my ring," Lu Li said as he bent down to express his most sincere gratitude to this great existence who had helped him. He was about to see the results of his hard work.
"Donāt be in such a rush, young one. You have a long way to go." A faint smile appeared on Remulosā strange face.
"Sorry, Iāve lost my composure, but Iām guessing Malfurion behaved similarly," Lu Li said.
"Haha, thatāsā¦ I guess youāre right." Remulos found that he couldnāt disagree.
He wasnāt there when Malfurion had upgraded his ring, but it was possible that the ArchDruid himself would have been very excited to finally harvest what he had sown.
"Follow me, child," Remulos beckoned as he brought Lu LI towards the entrance of the temple.
The temple of Remulos was simple; there were only a few strangely designed totems inside. At the center of the temple was a giant tree with a similar face to Remulos; it could even smile at Lu Li.
Remulos brought Lu Li towards the big tree, which suddenly began to cast spells.
A ruin appeared in front of them.
"This place belongs to the Bloodfang Worgens; you may have heard of them before. Weāre going to trade with them."
Remulos walked in front as he led Lu Li towards the ruin that lay ahead of them.
