The Great Thief

It didn’t take much time to kill this BOSS. Coren Direbrew’s fight didn’t have a strict sense of stages. There were only so many skills that he possessed. As long as you knew how to deal with them, you could easily empty his HP bar.

After Coren Direbrew fell, everyone received the notification for First Clear.

There were also many teams outside who hadn’t even seen Coren Direbrew. They didn’t even know how he looked. No one expected someone killing him.

This was ridiculous, and the clubs and major guilds were indignant. Mid to large-scale guilds or any mercenary groups that had some power began to make noise. They always thought that they had the chance of obtaining this First Clear. Afterall, everyone had the abilities to establish a small five-man team like in the Blackrock Abyss.

This Instance Dungeon wasn’t very difficult to many people. Everyone had the ability to First Clear it.

There was almost a nationwide campaign for First Clears, but Ruling Sword were shameless. Every single time, they would take everything and not leave a scrap for anyone.

As such, everyone’s resentment towards Ruling Sword rose to new heights again.

They were the cancer of this game. You had to get rid of them!

But how? You couldn’t beat them in a fight.

The System was naturally the God in the game, but as long as the System said nothing, then everyone could only cast their eyes towards celestial beings like Glory Capital.

This so-called number one club was useless; they had absolutely no abilities.

Look at all these First Clears of Instance Dungeons – did they even get a scrap?

“We got one actually~” Blood Red War Flag chirped in.

“Get out!” were the thoughts of everyone else. “As if you have the face to talk about an Elite difficulty First Clear.”

“We’ve gotten one, and it was Nightmare difficulty too,” Drizzle Court replied.

“That was handed to you guys by Lu Li. Your leader is going to be taken by him soon. Stop making a fool of yourselves on the world channel!”

Sorrowless was also innocent. He had assembled the strongest team in the first place and was also the game’s best Mage.

Blood Dagger was one of the best Thieves.

White Westhill was one of the strongest newbies, but not the strongest Priests. There was still difference between her and the older generation of Healer Priests.

Even though Master Huang announced his retirement, he was still the Chief Coach for Glory Capital. The few superb Berserkers would use their spare time to analyse his tutorial videos.

Then, there was Glory Capital’s strongest Main Tank, who had more equipment than Azure Sea Breeze.

Even Ruling Sword’s strongest line-up probably couldn’t beat this.

To make things worse, Ruling Sword had a hideous mess of its line-up. Lu Li and Azure Sea Breeze were acceptable as they were stronger than the Thieves and Main Tanks in Glory Capital.

Hachi Chan was also known all over the game for completing quests, but in terms of healing skills, she wouldn’t even compare to White Westhill, even if you gave her 8 claws.

Water Fairy?

This wasn’t the first time that they were showing PDA on the world channel. Two Thieves didn’t seem too obvious in a team of 40 people, but this was a 5-man team. How much were you underestimating the Boss!

As for Remnant Dream, everyone knew she was their little lucky hand.

But wouldn’t you consider even just taking one Mage or Warlock AOE profession? Wasn’t it more time-efficient to clear monsters along the way with AoE skills? In case the Boss called a herd of smaller monsters, wouldn’t a Mage be more effective in clearing them?

How could a hideously organized team like this obtain a First Clear!

Normal players, let alone Sorrowless wanted to report this to the gaming company.

Lu Li simply wouldn’t care what these people thought. If they wanted to report, then they could go for it. It wasn’t as if he couldn’t preach that Glory Capital indiscriminately killed innocent people. Sure, Ruling Sword got more Instance Dungeon First Clears, but it was never as many as Glory Capital’s Wild Boss First Clears. In their fighting for Wild Boss they had killed many innocent passers-by.

Some were real competitors, but there were many who were just ordinary players.

History was still written by the winners of this world. For example, right now, he could enjoy the fruits of his success, while others could only shoot their mouths off on the world channel.

“Mount!”

Azure Sea Breeze’s luck was usually pretty average so he didn’t think he would be the first to get the mount.

A Kodo from Brewfest was summoned. It looked so cute with its tiny head and was much prettier than the other wild ones.

Water Fairy and Lu Li’s eyes met and they smiled bitterly together as they shook their heads. Neither of them had received the mount.

Lu Li was given a Dark Gold Badge called the Bitter Balebrew Charm. The Attributes were rather average but it had one special effect that could summon the Grim Guzzler bar girl. However, it depended on luck as to what type of girl was called out.

In order to show his honesty, Lu Li gave this to Water Fairy straight away.

Water Fairy received Coren’s Silver Coaster which was an ornament. Its Attributes were a little better than Lu Li’s, but from a value perspective, it wasn’t as good. After all, at least Lu Li’s reward could call out a bar girl.

Hachi Chan didn’t receive anything worthwhile.

The little Hunter who carried the hopes of everyone only got a Dark Gold equipment.

It looked like luck was something that one couldn’t be superstitious about.

Azure Sea Breeze was so happy that he lost all sense of orientation. He never expected that his luck could surpass Remnant Dream’s. There were three things that were incomparable in Ruling Sword. The first was Remnant Dream’s luck, the second was Hachi Chan’s Charisma, and the last was Lu Li’s viciousness.

Remnant Dream went to loot the equipment depressingly.

She couldn’t figure out what was wrong with herself. It felt as if lucky charm halo was getting further away from her.

Rubbish!

More rubbish!

Wait. This was a mount… a Brewfest Ram. It seemed like a real ram.

The lucky little hand was instantly happy again. Perhaps the System had crashed momentarily just then or there was a bug. It was probably just an accident.

“How do we split this?” Azure Sea Breeze asked.

Fortunately, it wasn’t a Kodo. The same type of mount could only be tamed once by players.

“Stuff splitting,” Lu Li said as he kicked him to the side, “Let’s just roll it between the 4 of us. It’s possible to go according to Guild Points for a small team Instance Dungeon like this, but it’ll be easier by rolling.”

“You sure you wanna roll?”

Everyone was so moved as they looked at him, thinking that he had given up participating in the competition.

Everyone, not only Ruling Sword, knew of how vicious Lu Li was. The whole game was probably preaching it in every corner. There was even a new way of roasting where people said, “You’re nearly as vicious as Lu Li!”
