"Do you guys think we're getting the First Clear bonus?"
It wasn't an equip for Lu Li, so he wasn't paying attention .
"I don't know . Do you want me to check the game's chronicles?"
"Check it," Lu Li said as he went off to one side to recall the course of the fight . Perhaps it was dumb luck, but he had managed to achieve a 99% Skill Completion on Shadowstrike, causing more than three times the damage to the Boss . If he was on the same level, it would have been at least five or six times .
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he could only achieve around 95% .
The feeling was exhilarating, but he didn't know how to do it more consistently . All he knew was that his dream of getting 100% could soon be a reality .
As such, after the fight, he tried as hard as he could to remember how to replicate it .
There shouldn't have been a difference in his physical movements; he had used the skill tens of thousands of times . At this point, they had been tuned to an almost-robotic perfection .
But what else could have effected the Skill Completion level?
He had read many strategy guides in his previous life and had deeply analyzed Skill Completion . However, no one had never analyzed a Skill Completion level that was this high .
On one hand, this may have been because he had simply become more advanced . Even now, most players could not achieve 95% Skill Completion, but Lu Li could consistently achieve 95% and was aiming for more .
On the other hand, it could just be human nature .
No one would simply share the knowledge they had worked so hard for . Not only was this knowledge precious, but they would also lose their advantage if they revealed it .
Even within a club, a player might not share their secrets .
In retrospect, it had all happened so quickly that he couldn't even imagine what he had done . Lu Li had messed up his attack and in an effort to catch up on DPS, had somehow managed to cast a Shadowstrike with 99% Skill Completion .
Often, the truth was thinly-veiled . He knew that he was very close, but he just couldn't work it out .
Lu Li had been thinking about it for some time, but still hadn't come up with anything . Azure Sea Breeze then called him over, so he had no choice but to put this aside for now . He was eager for the next breakthrough, as after this experience, it was bound to happen again soon .
"Boss, there isn't a record . Maybe no one else has received this Instance Dungeon Scroll yet? Why didn't we get a prompt for the First Clear then?" Azure Sea Breeze couldn't work out what had happened .
While there were a huge number of players in Dawn, there were also many adventures and quests . Not a single duplicate Instance Dungeon Scroll could exist at the same time .
"This Instance Dungeon is difficult, but as for why we haven't received the prompt, it's because we haven't finished it yet," Lu Li answered . He wasn't surprised at all .
The team lined up and Lu Li tried a different exit . If they were an average team, they would have been close to death by now, and would likely be finished off by what was coming next in the Temple of Hakkar .
The most intuitive thing to do was to jump into the hole in the entrance hall . However, Mu Fish had already tried that, which resulted in his tragic death .
As such, Lu Li took everyone through another entrance . The terrain was very complex; it was no wonder why the temple was one of the easiest places to get lost in .
"Lu Li, how do you know the directions?" Kitty Likes Meat asked .
She had previously thought that Cat Dad was the best player in the game and had admired him, but now she was a little shaken . After seeing Lu Li in command of the Instance Dungeon party, he was quickly catching up to her father in her mind .
"It's actually quite easy – Dawn likes to add elements of reality into Azeroth . This Temple of Hakkar is actually like the Mayan God of Water in the Belizean Forest . If you look it up online, you would know . The terrain is roughly the same and you can follow it," Lu Li said, making up some answer .
In the still forest of Belize, a deep pool hid the remains of the Mayans . They performed sacrifices in this pool to the Mayan God of Water, which made the answer plausible .
If you searched online, you would see that the restored map of the Mayan ruins was just as complex as the temples in this game .
The seemingly mysterious inscriptions on the walls were Mayan characters . Apart from telling the story of their history, they also gave clues to the right path .
There were similar notes about this in the huge national library in Stormwind City .
An NPC had once ventured deep into the temple, and there were many descriptions of the terrain in his biography . As long as a player could match them up, they could navigate their way through the temples .
When they reached the bottom, they were left dumbfounded .
"So many Bosses…"
"Relax, they're just quasi-Bosses . We'll divide into two teams to deal with them . After you engage them, make sure you remember the serial number that is on the statue behind them . This is very important, so don't get caught up in fighting," Lu Li instructed .
The six quasi-Bosses were very weak, which meant that their drops were even worse . They were just there to protect the statues, but the most important thing for the players was to remember the sequence in which the numbers on the statues lit up .
"Have you recorded them?" Lu Li asked after he had finished .
"I got it . From my position and in a clockwise direction, it's 264135," Sakura Memories quickly recalled . She was worried about forgetting the numbers, so she kept repeating them over and over .
"You can just send the number to the team channel . That way, you don't have to remember it," Lu Li sighed .
"Oh yeah…" Sakura Memories wanted to cry .
Lu Li then sent six players to each stand in front a statute . Following the numbers recorded by Sakura Memories, they pressed the, one at a time .
The bottom of the Temple of Hakkar began to shake as if something was boring its way out of the ground . In the middle, the huge pool began to boil and bubble .
"Intruder, I will eat your flesh and bones!" a figure boomed as it rose out of the water .
It was a huge, sluggish-looking Troll, but it could not be underestimated .
"How do we fight it?' Azure Sea Breeze asked as he tightened his grip on his shield .
This was the final Boss of the Temple of Hakkar . He wasn't sure if they could finish it with the two chances they had left, and some of the party members like Lu Li needed to compete in a match soon .
