Chapter 217 Moonlight private messaged Lu Li and asked, “What should we do?”
“Let’s just check out what they have to say for now,” Lu Li replied . He didn’t want to give up the large amount of EXP here . At that very moment, an invite to a chatroom called “Protect the Meisnera Outpost Chatroom” popped up . He scanned through the member list and found out that they were all famous PVP players from the Light Faction . Moonlight was invited as well . He looked up to the sight of countless death animations in the battle before him, sighed and accepted the invite . As the saying goes, ‘every man is responsible for war and conflict’ . As a member of the Alliance, Lu Li would never blindly kill people, but he knew he would eventually be involved . Besides, the team of players that were willing to sacrifice themselves for others also impacted Lu Li . He finally understood why the players from his past life were all so passionate about ‘Defend the Meisnera Outpost’ . Men will kill . “Lu Li is here . ” Hornet’s Nest received the notification that Lu Li had joined the chatroom . “Hey everyone . ” Lu Li was quite conflicted, so his greeting wasn’t one of excitement . Everyone in the chatroom greeted Lu Li, but many were unenthusiastic because he had taken so many first clears . He was also notorious for his PK video with the Imperial Secret Service .
Even in the eyes of these experts, Lu Li was on a completely different level . “We can’t allow the Horde pigs to take over the Silverwing Outpost, so we must face them head on there,” said a Mage called Lucky Southern Persian . Lu Li had heard of him before and knew him as a PVP expert . Lucky Southern Persian was rather fond of PVP battles, but he didn’t play as much as Moonlight . He wasn’t very well known because Mages were naturally bad in PVP . “I contacted several big builds and they’ve agreed to send some players to Warsong Valley . I also contacted some other solo players who will be moved over there to help,” said Jade Flower Lover, who was from the Blood Red War Flag . Jade Flower Lover was also a famous PVP enthusiast . He was rather lacking in terms of his individual skill, but made up for this with his leadership . “Casual players may not be enough to hold off Blood Dagger and the others . This is why we’ve assembled a small team of skilled PVP experts to attack them strategically,” suggested a Berserker called Deadly Gold Underwear . “We’ve invited about 70 to 80 players . Is there anyone who is not willing to participate?” Lucky Southern Persian asked . A few players had declined because they were busy . They apologised and said their goodbyes . “Then… I won’t go either . ” Lu Li declined, not because he didn’t want to work with this group of people, but because he worked better alone . Besides, not everyone was familiar with each other, so there would be too many disagreements and a lack of team chemistry . “Lu Li, you’re not going?” Hornet’s Nest was surprised . “My group is fighting Water Elementals right now; they can’t fight them without me,” Lu Li replied . “Goddammit, can you look at the bigger picture? Why are you still worried about your team? Some people are just so selfish,” Swirling Left Eye retorted .
Staring Right Eye quickly followed and added, “Hornet’s Nest invited you . Are you going to let him down?” They were clearly trying to ruin the friendship between Hornet’s Nest and himself, which made him feel quite uncomfortable .
However, Hornet’s Nest didn’t fall for their tricks and coldly said, “Left and Right Eye, shut up or I’ll kick you two out . It’s not like you guys will make much of a difference anyway . ” The two thieves decided to shut up . They were usually fearless when facing-off against casual players . However, in this chatroom, they at the bottom of the ladder . Even though Imperial Secret Service was a decent-sized guild, they could not compare to the Blood Red War Flag or Seventh Heaven . If they dared to leave the chatroom, the big guilds would give the Imperial Secret Services a hard time . Many didn’t understand the reason why Hornet’s Nest had so much respect for Lu Li . However, Hornet’s Nest was extremely stubborn and outspoken, so no one dared to raise up any arguments . “Lu Li plays this game as a job,” Moonlight explained . “Levelling-up is very important for him . ” “So he’s staying at the outpost just to level up?” Lucky Southern Persian was ticked-off . “It’s just how it is . We have no right to force him to do something he doesn’t want to . He’s not in a guild and doesn’t owe anyone here a favour,” Moonlight calmly said . Lu Li didn’t understand why Moonlight had brought this topic up, but he trusted him . All he wanted to do was to leave the chatroom and get back to killing monsters . “Since you’re playing for the money, how about we hire you, on the basis that you wouldn’t disappoint us?” Deadly Golden Underwear suggested . “That could work…” Moonlight winked at Lu Li . “A Jade Statue and 50 Starwood…” Lu Li said after completing some brief calculations in his head . If they paid him this, it would be worth giving up the EXP from the event . Most people here were PVP experts and therefore knew very little about Jade Statues . However, a lot of people had heard about Lu Li levelling-up with Starwood . People in the chatroom began discussing and Hornet’s Nest offered, “Seventh Heaven will give you the Jade Statue, but we only have 20 Starwood . ” Lu Li had already heard from Sesame Rice Ball that Seventh Heaven had a Jade Statue, but the extra 20 Starwood was a pleasant surprise . “Blood Red War Flag will provide the rest . Anyone else got any requests?” Jade Flower Lover followed up and waited a few seconds for a response . The silence from the chatroom signalled the start of this expedition . Lu Li private-messaged Drizzle Court and asked a few players to fill in for him and Moonlight so that the team could continue levelling . Lu Li and Moonlight then left the battle and made their way to Warsong Valley . It would be no use if a group of 70-80 PVP players tried to attack Warsong Valley together, because these players excelled at one-on-one fights . Lu Li initially wanted to work alone, but Lucky Southern Persian stopped him . His reasoning was simple – what if Lu Li hid somewhere and didn’t contribute? Lu Li agreed and joined his team along with Moonlight . The team consisted of Lucky Southern Persian (LV19 Ice Mage), Stellar Union Silver Radiant (LV20 Priest), Floral Paralysis (LV19 Thief), Moonlight (LV20 Berserker) and Lu Li (LV22 Thief) . This was a classic, offensive-centred team composition . “Let’s go!” Lucky Southern Persian declared, as Floral Paralysis scouted ahead . Lu Li stretched his body and went invisible . Lucky Southern Persian used Detection, but he could no longer detect Lu Li, who still should have been nearby . “I hope I don’t bump into Thieves like him in the future,” he mumbled to himself, feeling inferior in front of the LV22 expert . The first Horde players they encountered were a small team of 10 players . Naturally, Lu Li and the others decided to face them head on and immediately attacked . The battle shortly ended after about a minute or so . Lucky Southern Persian finally witnessed Lu Li’s famous skills and understood why he was so well-respected by Hornet’s Nest . The enemy Paladin continued healing and naturally became a target for Lu Li to hunt . After a couple of stabs, he fell to half HP and was instantly finished by Slit Throat . After he finished him, Lu Li immediately disappeared again and instantly reappeared behind another healer . The two healers had no time to react and were quickly finished off . When his Rager set effect was activated, he basically became a human harvester . Out of the ten enemies, he solo-killed four by himself .
