"Yet another First Clear, and it was on Nightmare mode as well . "

The Paladin placed his two swords in his lap and began eating food to replenish his HP .

Seventh Heaven’s core group had been completely wiped by the Dog Trainer 13 times .

They skipped the Monastery and started Scarlet Library yesterday afternoon .

Unfortunately, they were still far behind Glory Capital, who were progressing much faster than them .

Lucky Southern Persian casted his magic and a set of bread appeared in his hands . He took two pieces for himself and gave the rest to his teammates . As he ate, he said, "Sorrowless still lost . I wish I could see his reaction right now . "

He didn’t even bother hiding his joy for Sorrowless’ misfortune .

Lucky Southern Persian was a cunning man who enjoyed watching others fail . He found Sorrowless’ misfortune to be extremely amusing .

"Southern Persian, stop underestimating Sorrowless . He’s relying solely on himself to command his team in the dungeon . " Hornet’s Nest was also in the party with him . PVP experts were often freelancers and played the game solo, however, when necessary, the core group would open up a spot for them in dungeons if they were having trouble completing it .

"Ruling Sword doesn’t have a strategy group," Lucky Southern Persian mumbled .

A strategy group was a team made up of players that excelled at developing strategies and figuring out Boss patterns from the information provided by the dungeon group . They were essential in most major guilds as they helped to speed up the dungeon progression by decreasing the difficulty .

Similar to tacticians in war times, strategy groups provided an unspoken advantage to guilds . The dungeon progression of a guild could almost always be accredited to their strategy group .

Not many guilds relied on the knowledge of an individual player like Lu Li’s team . Even smaller guilds aimed to create a strategy group as their priority . However, instead of developing their own strategy, they would rely on strategies from major guilds to help guide them in their dungeon runs .

Ruling Sword had yet to establish a strategy group, however, they would undoubtedly have to create one eventually .

Seventh Heaven relied heavily on their strategy group to progress in dungeons . However, the team of 10 or so members had yet to discover the secret of the dog food . As such, they were stuck with being abused repeatedly by Dog Tamer boss .

Although Sorrowless was an all-star, he had begun his career on the strategy team before blossoming into a star-player . He was now the leader of Glory Capital and had become a legend in the gaming community .

In order to live up to his fame, he had to complete the dungeon before Lu Li .

If he was able to beat Lu Li in a First Clear, he would become a gaming legend once again . However, something that Sorrowless hadn’t taken into account of was the fact that Lu Li been reborn .

While Lucky Southern Persian mocked Sorrowless for his misfortune, Hornet’s Nest’s mind was occupied with the thought of Lu Li .

How was he able to beat a strategy team of 10 or so players? What was his mind made out of?

Only sore losers spoke of luck for their losses . However, Lu Li had been lucky too many times in the past . There must have been something that he was missing, something that Lu Li saw right through .

If Lu Li knew that they were stuck on the dog food stage, he probably would’ve told them .

Lu Li’s team had already passed this stage and defeated Dog Trainer . They were ahead of Sorrowless and were already facing off against Arcanist Doan .

After the World Channel announced that they completed the First Clear, Water Fairy was quick to offer to buy their strategy .

However, for the sake of his guild, Lu Li wasn’t planning on selling the guide, no matter how much she offered .

Water Fairy was quite angry at this and decided to focus her attention on defeating the boss .

She was willing to sacrifice her sleep just to prove to Lu Li that she didn’t need his guide . Her natural beauty would remain even without a night of sleep anyways .

Lu Li felt absolutely no remorse for rejecting the No . 2 girl on the Beauty Rankings .

He searched the dungeon room and found two keys .

"That’s all for today . Everyone can leave and go level up . Aim to reach level 30 as soon as possible . " Lu Li handed the keys to Azure Sea Breeze and left the dungeon .

Everyone in the Xin Xin Mercenary had stocked up level 30 Silver and Gold equips . Once they reached level 30, they would all receive a power spike . It was important for them to reach level 30 before attempting the next two dungeons because it would make them much easier .

Lu Li couldn’t wait to get to Ravenholdt Manor .

The location of Ravenholdt Manor was very secretive . However, Lu Li knew that it was somewhere in the Hillsbrad Foothills .

The Hillsbrad Foothills were situated at the South of Alterac Moutains and East of Arathi Highlands . To the south of Hillsbrad Foothills was nothing but endless sea .

Because the Alterac Mountains acted as a barrier, the Hillsbrad Foothills were not threatened by the Undead from Plaguelands . Additionally, because it was one of the few remaining areas controlled by the Humans in Lordaeron, it provided comfort and shelter for weary travellers .

However, the Hillsbrad Foothills had become less and less of a safe haven for people as the Syndicate’s power and influences grew . The number of Nagas and Undeads had also increased in nearby areas .

Lu Li teleported to Southshore .

Many Alliance Players that attempted Scarlet Monastery would teleport to Southshore for supplies .

In reality, Southshore was the busiest Alliance city besides Astrana .

Not only did the city boast some of the best scenery in Dawn, but there were also abundant resources for mining, herbalism, fishing etc .

Players who played the game as an alternate world to live in would often choose to reside in Southshore and live out the rest of their lives here .

Even some professional players preferred Southshore over other cities .

When Lu Li arrived, it was almost sunset . Everything seemed much more peaceful and beautiful as the setting sun showered the city with its golden beams of light .

No one would have thought that this place would be plagued after a year .

Many people proposed that the drastic downfall of Southshore was the developer’s way of introducing Sylvannas Windrunner .

Lu Li entered the town and saw children playing before the setting sun . One of the kids ran through him without stopping .

Yes… ran through .

Sally Whitemane – Lu Li looked at her name . She was an adorable little loli .

The two boys that were chasing behind her were named Renault Mograine and Vishas . The three childhood friends would all grow up to become the Bosses in the Scarlet Cathedral .

Lu Li saw the cutscene of them as kids .

It was quite difficult to explain the situation, but to put it simply, the three were already Bosses in Scarlet Monastery . However, in Southshore, where they grew up, there were still cutscenes of them in their childhood .

This was a parallel time dimension and they could only be interacted with when the quest was accepted .

Some players tried telling them that they would grow up to become a ruthless couple who would take over the Scarlet Monastery . However, since they were NPCs, they simply ignored the players .

Lu Li watched them for a while as they ran off into the bushes, then sighed and stepped into the tavern .
