The Great Thief - Chapter 621

Chapter 621

Lu Li had been leveling with the gorillas for the past two days and had finally reached level 40 .

All the players under him on the level ranking were still level 38, while those at the bottom were all level 37 . The Scarab quest could only do so much for these players; they needed too much experience to level up .

Lu LI felt relieved after he saw that he stood out from the rest .

This was what it was like for professional gamers . You didn't need to be ahead of everyone else by a lot – that would be unrealistic and it would also catch too much attention . However, you need to at least be better than the mainstream players .

Two days was enough time for the major guilds to complete the Zul'Farrak dungeon . Some mercenary groups and random players were also lucky enough to complete it .

Countless guides for this dungeon had been released, with some of them being even better than the guides that Azure Sea Breeze had supplied to the gaming magazines . After all, his guides were rigged versions that Square Root 3 had told him to hand over .

The gaming magazines began to interview Ruling Sword players after they received the guide .

Of course, the first one to be interviewed was Lu Li .

Unfortunately, Lu Li wasn't very cooperative . The interviewers could only make up a biography for him based on the information that they had found and the information that Square Root 3 supplied .

The biography included his First Clears of dungeons and Wild Bosses, as well as some unbelievable kills that he had obtained by himself .

It also recounted his experience with his team and some comments that other top players had made about Lu Li .

These players were either celebrities or team commanders from big guilds . Although they may not have liked Lu Li or felt like they could catch up to him someday, they had one thing in common – they all agreed that Lu Li had his own specialty in each aspect of the game .

The second player interviewed was Moonlight . After they received his consent, his old identity was revealed to the public .

After him, March Rain and the others would be interviewed, and an overall description would be written as a summary for Ruling Sword . This was basically an advertisement for Ruling Sword on a large scale . Usually, the media wouldn't be interested in making these kinds of advertisements, but Lu Li and his team had compensated them with a single guide that would become outdated sooner or later . This was a good trade for them .

The number of guild members continued to increase; Square Root 3 planned to form a third elite team at the end of the year .

Everything was going in a positive direction, but Lu Li found himself in a pickle .

As players became more and more familiar with Dawn, all kinds of techniques and tactics for each class had been devised . It was no longer a surprise for the top players to cast a skill with a completion level of 80% or higher .

This was especially the case with celebrity players . Most celebrity players were either extremely talented or had worked very hard to achieve their current positions . They improved even faster than the average experts .

A completion level of 90% on still targets became the standard for a celebrity player . Celebrity players bragged about their completion level, especially the close-combat classes .

There was also a portion of players who took another route . They didn't worry about their completion level, but instead focused on increasing the number of attacks they could make with low-completion levels . Some also focused on a stable playstyle that involved high Strength and Critical Strike Attributes . Overall, everyone had increased significantly in terms of their strength .

Lu Li had already planned his own playstyle right from the start .

He decided that he would play with high skill completion and high number of attacks dealt . He combined the specialties of both classic playstyles, thinking that this was the best route for himself .

However, his completion had already reached a limit for him and it was becoming harder to surpass it . He could often cast a skill and reach a completion level of 95% .

In Lu Li's previous life, he had heard of players who could surpass a 100% completion level, up to a maximum of 120% .

Ranged magic classes relied on their powerful skills to kill other players, but these had a casting time to wait for . Close-combat classes relied on high completion levels, especially since players were increasing the amount of maximum health they had . They had also obtained more life-saving skills, so attacks without high completion wouldn't do much to them .

Lu Li methodically practiced the completion levels of all his skills as he continued to level up .

"My posture is a little weird; I should be further away from the target . That way, I'll have a bigger spin from my torso . There's still room of improvement for Backhand Backstab," Lu Lu noted as he picked up the materials that the gorillas dropped and quickly charged towards his next target .

There wasn't a lot of time for him to think in precise details; his assassin gear required consistency in kills .

The area that he had chosen was a wide, open space that refreshed around ten gorillas . The gorillas were packed tightly and as soon as he killed one, another would refresh . If Lu Li paused briefly, he could be caught by two gorillas .

These gorillas weren't the type of monster that you could take down in groups, because all of them had a skill that could stun multiple players .

It took Lu Li a lot of effort to clear all these monsters; he had been here ever since he had logged online and hadn't moved from this location for the past few hours . Even after he reached level 40, he didn't choose to leave .

"Aiya!"

A dark shadow jumped out from the trees and into Lu Li's vision . The dim red lights signaled to Lu Li that this was a Horde player .

The Horde player didn't expect to run into someone in this area; he was caught by surprise too .

An Ice Bolt and a Shadow Bolt landed on him while he was caught by surprise . What followed him was a frantic flurry of other skills .

There were a few other players who came out from the jungle – a Paladin, a Priest and three damage dealers . This was a very classic combination for a small team .

They were surprised to find a player here too .

"He's killing the gorillas . Seems like he has good gear . Should we . . . " one of the players asked his team leader . It was hard for average players to understand how good Lu Li's technique was . Average players would only look at Lu Li and think that he dealt high damage because of his good gear .

Not to mention, it was five against one – it would definitely be easy for them to take down their target .

"You wish," the leader cursed, clearly annoyed . "This is an Alliance player; we're only killing Horde players today . Let's go!"

"Bro, Stranglethorn Vale is in quite a confusion today . You should leave if you're not participating . It seems like your gear pretty good . If you're brave enough, join us to fight the Hordes?" he bellowed at Lu Li before leaving .

Lu Li killed the gorilla in front of him, as if he didn't hear anything and pounced onto his next target .

"*****, so stuck up . He's ignoring us," the one who spoke previously he mumbled under his breath, clearly not impressed .

"The Alliance are killing the Horde today . All Alliance members our brothers and all Horde members are our enemy . If you still want to kill someone for gear, then you better leave," the team captain yelled impatiently .

Alliance killing the Horde? What did this mean? Was there an event today that he wasn't aware of?

Lu Li was paying attention to everything around him . He just didn't want to disrupt his assassin gear effect and he also didn't feel like these people were a threat to him .
