Lu Lu's composition was a Thief, a Mage and a Warrior on a Mount . His strategy was also very simple – let Fat Monkey rush at him, like he often did .
When Fat Monkey started moving, so would his teammates . They would get into formation on their mounts, which was a tactic he often used . Generally, the other teams had no effective means of stopping that .
However, this time would be different . When Fat Monkey and his teammates rushed in, they would be met with a Cone of Cold .
Cone of Cold was a slowing skill that would be casted in front of the user . The more skilled the user was, the more powerful the slow they could apply . Lu Li had the better Mage on his side; he managed to hit all of his opponents .
Unlike Frost Nova, the slowing effect of the skill didn't disappear after being attacked .
This certainly wasn't some killer move like Whirlwind . The Warrior rushed over with Charge and began spinning wildly among the slowed opponents, dealing massive AoE damage .
Fat Monkey's team weren't newbies; they quickly lifted the slow and escaped the Whirlwind .
Overall, they hadn't lost much HP, and were still relatively healthy .
However, the purpose of the Mage's Cone of Cold and the Warrior's Whirlwind was not to kill . They had disrupted Fat Monkey's supporting teammates, which allowed him to freely attack .
Fat Monkey immediately rushed in, but was hit by Frost Nova and Stunned by Lu Li immediately after .
At this point, Lu Li could easily crowd-control anyone . He had at least four or five different ways to do it .
Fat Monkey also had means to lift the crowd-control, but as he did so, Lu Li could cast another on him . This quickly happened three times in succession . Lu Li wasn't bullying him, as any other top-level Thief like Blood Dagger or Water Fairy would have done the same thing .
Lu Li's Mage had now regrouped, and the three teammates now attacked Fat Monkey together .
In that moment, Fat Monkey's ego crumbled .
He finally understood what Lu Li was trying to tell him – he was too easily to manipulate and if his supports were dealt with, he would be on the chopping block .
It wasn't as though no one had told this to him before, but he had just never listened to them .
Ever since he had become a professional player, his self-confidence had been completely inflated . In his eyes, he was a bonafide star .
However, after experiencing this crushing defeat, he finally realized how far away he was from becoming one .
When he charged in and was completely crowd-controlled, it was like everything had been planned beforehand . Lu Li seemed like God when he so casually manipulated the whole situation into his favor .
His HP was emptied and he had fallen!
A Fire Mage that focused on dealing damage had very poor survivability .
The remaining members of the team didn't stand a chance . After Fat Monkey died, they gave up and didn't resist .
When Lu Li came out of the arena, he saw Fat Monkey sitting in silence .
He went up and gave him a kick before asking, "What's with the long face?"
"Didn't I just get rolled? There were three of you attacking me," Fat Monkey said as he got up with a depressed look on his face . He had big dreams, but it was like he had just woken up .
"Let's go . We'll continue drinking," Lu Li said .
Given the way he looked, the effect of this match had been very great . If Lu Li didn't lighten the mood, this might negatively impact his future performance . He might even consider giving it all up .
"Are you buying?" Fat Monkey asked as he looked at him .
"I'll buy . You're so stingy – there are so many people who want to buy me a drink, but they don't get a chance . Let's go and talk, but make sure you don't do something like this again . " Lu Li was speechless .
"Boss, it's you who's stingy . You don't even buy good wine . Don't you know… Dust Dragon serves the best wine there is . It costs a few hundred for just a small bottle . When he gave me some, I thought he might as well have just paid me the money . "
Fat Monkey's emotions seemed to be unstable as he was quickly switching from topic to topic .
"Dust Dragon?" Lu Li thought for a moment .
Dust Dragon was the President of the Blood Red War Flag and the vice chairman of the Blood Red War Flag club . He was considered to be a relatively powerful figure and was said to be a retired veteran with more than ten years of military experience .
Lu Li had always admired such people . He had wanted to be a soldier in his earlier years, just like most young men who had dreams of fighting in military battles .
It was a pity that he wasn't that kind of selfless person . His sister needed care and there was no one to entrust her to . His dream as a soldier now remained in his imagination, but his respect for the military never changed .
He had great respect for the police and even more respect for the army . He never resisted when a policeman would try to arrest him .
"Dust Dragon…"
The two went into another tavern and when Monkey Fat heard Lu Li mumbling, he sheepishly explained, "A few days ago, he found me and asked that I work with him . He offered a big sum of money…"
"Was he trying to poach you?" Lu Li was a little confused, but he wasn't too worried . If Fat Monkey really wanted to leave, he wouldn't have brought it up .
As for whether he had accidentally blurted it out… that was a possibility . Perhaps this guy was even trying to mislead him by pretending it was an accident . Although Fat Monkey was impulsive, he wasn't stupid and was still a bit of a bookworm .
"He wanted me to throw a game…" Fat Monkey said with a grin . "I used to admire him before, but it turns out he's not a good guy . "
"So you're telling me that he found you and told you to throw a game for some money?" Lu Li asked . He also thought that Dust Dragon was a good and honorable person .
"Of course not," Fat Monkey said as he poured a glass of wine for himself and for Lu Li . He took a slow sip before continuing, "It took a few days of talking before he finally revealed his intentions . What should we do about them?"
"It's hard to tell, but you're not a great person either," Lu Li joked .
He could imagine how the situation played out . Dust Dragon must have felt like Fat Monkey was the way in and decided to contact . He then bought him some drinks and slowly put his plan into effect .
But why would he think that Fat Monkey was the way in?
The reason was simple – although Fat Monkey had entered Ruling Sword and had become a professional player, he was not part of the Xin Xin Mercenary Group . Strictly speaking, the group was still made up of the original ten players .
Lu Li's First Clears were achieved with this group, and in the eyes of the outsiders, even Fat Monkey hadn't broken into it .
Perhaps Fat Monkey was discontent about something, but if the benefits were sufficient, he could be converted . Dust Dragon actually thought that it seemed promising at first and fell into the illusion that Fat Monkey could be bought .
However, after a few days' worth of effort, Fat Monkey had completely laid waste to Dust Dragon's plans .
