The Great Thief - Chapter 1020

Chapter 1020: 1020
"Such a shame! My sword!" The darkness faded from the eyes of Marduk the Black, as held his broken sword . If his sword was perfect, he wouldn't have lost so easily .


With this sigh, Ruling Sword had successfully defeated the fourth Boss in Scholomance .
"Haha, skill points! I haven't gotten a skill point in so long!" Azure Sea Breeze's laughed .
Scholomance was truly a worthwhile dungeon . The Bosses were different to the ones in Stratholme, which only chased after the tanks . This often caused Azure Sea Breeze to die and lose experience, but now he had received a skill point .
He happily used it on one of his defense abilities and felt like his skin had grown another thick layer .
Lu Li gave him the most disgusted look; there was no way he would admit that he was just jealous . On a side note, the four Bosses had given out 3 skill points in total . Why hadn't he received a single one?
As per usual, Remnant Dream approached the corpse .
Ebon Hilt of Marduk – a Dark Gold item, with high attack and a corrosive special effect . It seemed like a good weapon, one that an ordinary player could only dream of .
If Lu Li had managed to lay his hands on this sword in his previous life, his problems would have been solved .
But . . .
"Hmm, how come no one has said anything? Who wants this sword?" Lu Li asked .


"I'm a healer Paladin," Mu Qiu said, shrugging his shoulders . Even though he needed a certain amount of Attack from his weapons, his priority remained on healing .
Meanwhile, Wandering was eyeballing the new weapon with disgust .
"Mine isn't too far away from this one, but it looks way better . "
"I'm used to double swords," Her Tear said as his eyes shifted .
"Damn, why are you all looking at me?" Azure Sea Breeze exclaimed as he jumped up . "Unless you guys aren't deducting guild points for this, don't pass me your junk . If anyone tries to force this on me, I'm gonna have a fight with them!"
All the equipment distributed amongst this team wasn't given out for free; they required guild points .
Different levels and Attributes from the weapon would give it a different point value . The System also provided data, called Gear Points, to help players evaluate the loot . Usually, points were deducted based on this .
The Ebon Hilt of Marduk was a level 50 Dark Gold weapon, but there was no way Azure Sea Breeze was going to take it .
The others didn't want it either and everyone else had no requirements for a single-handed sword . Hence, it was miserably forsaken .
It could only end up in the guild storage, waiting until the day when someone would have enough points to claim it .

The poor grew poorer while the rich got richer – this was a prime example .
"Death Knight Sabatons, Dark Gold equipment," Remnant Dream announced as she shared the data of the shoes with everyone .
"Good stuff . I want it, I want it!" Azure Sea Breeze looked as if he was about to go up and snatch it .
"You're a defensive class – why would you need a pair of shoes like this?" Moonlight wasn't the type to talk . If it wasn't for the fact that this pair of shoes was too tempting, he wouldn't have jumped out to try and snatch them .

The most valuable aspect of these shoes was the movement speed . They provided a 25% movement speed boost, which was the same as Lu Li's Champion Boots .
They also came with a jumping effect, which was useful for ambushes and escapes . With both speed and mobility, there were no better shoes for PVP .
The distribution ended up being a competition between Moonlight and Her Tears .
Azure Sea Breeze and Wandering's comments were completely ignored by Lu Li .
"Share your guild point numbers to me . Don't cheat – show me the real numbers . I can check from my end," Lu Li warned .
"There might be better things later . Do you have enough points?" Moonlight asked, worried for his competitor .
"Yo, hard to imagine Moonlight would try and play mind games too . Xiaorou, don't be scared . Do it, do it!" Azure Sea Breeze chanted, trying to stir the pot .
In most teams, the leader would give a base price, and the others would bid on top of that .
However, this would often end with two players fighting angrily, so Lu Li preferred to conduct the auction privately . All parties would put forward a number higher than the base price and whoever gave the bigger number would receive the item .
The numbers were sent to Lu Li, who glanced at them and passed the shoes to Her Tears .
"How many points?" Azure Sea Breeze asked keenly .
"Moonlight 2000, Xiaorou 2333 . "
Lu Li couldn't bring himself to look at Moonlight's desperate face . He probably thought that Her Tears would have listened to him and given out a low price . Who would have thought that he lost a pair of shoes, ones that were equivalent to a pair of Legendary shoes, with only a 300 point difference .
"Haha, thank you Moonlight . I'll lend it to you next time in the competition . "
Her Tears was overjoyed . He had used up nearly all the points that he had . If Moonlight really wanted to compete against him seriously, he had no chance at all . After all, Moonlight was a PVE player, but he also played in competitions and had plenty of points to spare .
If Moonlight had asked around for Her Tears' total points, there would be no way he could have lost that .
"Glory Capital is still wiping . . . " Square Root 3 messaged . This made others feel sorry for them and also impressed with Lu Li's directing abilities .
"Find a way and sell the strategy to them," Lu Li said as he sent it over .
"My God! Lu Li, what's your problem?" Square Root 3 couldn't believe his ears . Lu Li had to be crazy . There were only a few sentences sent over, but they were enough to save Glory Capital from their situation .
"They'll get there eventually; we might as well gain some profit from it," Lu Li explained honestly, then continued, "Giving it to Glory Capital isn't all that bad either . First, it destroys the image of their celebrity players . Second, I'm also worried that he might take extreme procedures . "
Celebrity players were a concept that the community had just come up with .
In the beginning, all of these players were just nerdy men who were broke .
Then, clubs began to form and the value of these competitors began to rise with their income, but they were still regarded the same .
It wasn't until later when many industries began to collapse and gamers began to increase by a huge number that the new gaming industry formed and the concept of celebrity players began to emerge .
