Chapter 288: Exquisite Quest Scroll

Translator: Halcyon Translations  Editor: Halcyon Translations

It was hard to say what a player could receive from the Mooncake Box .

The box contained all sorts of things and many people stood around here just so they could see what

others were getting . Some people would offer a price if they saw something they were interested in .

Lonesome Flower was a handsome guy with a cold demeanor; there was no way he would act like the

others and rub his hands or pray to the Gods before he opened the boxes .

He opened the first box, which contained a $100 Walmart voucher .

That’s right, items from the real world could also be obtained from these boxes . From Lu Li’s knowledge,

the highest-valued real item that you could receive was a cool Maglev Sedan, which was worth one million

dollars .

A $100 voucher was only equivalent to one gold coin, but it was still better than selling the box to those

businessmen for 20 silver coins .

The second item was a Steel grade equip; it was level 5 too . This box wasn’t worth it .

The third item was a Mooncake . Eating the Mooncake would give the player a +200HP buff which lasted for

20 minutes . The buff would disappear upon death or going offline .

After opening a few more boxes, he finally received a good item .

An accessory!

It wasn’t a necklace or a badge, but rather an accessory outside the normal range of equipment .

Normal bosses didn’t drop these accessories; they were limited and only available in events .

The accessory that Lonesome Flower received was a pair of earrings with +5 Constitution . There was

nothing really special about the earrings, other than the fact that they were exceptionally beautiful .

March Rain really liked them .

As long as March Rain liked them, Lonesome Flower was very satisfied .

It didn’t take long for Lonesome Flower to open all of his boxes .

The other items that he received all belonged in the previous categories . They weren’t bad items, but they

weren’t very exquisite either .

Other people went to open their boxes as well . Mooncakes were the most common, closely followed by

equipment .

The equips that the Mooncake Box provided were all quite poor in quality; they were either Steel grade or

Silver grade with very average attributes . Those who were unlucky even received Bronze grade gears .

Lu Li queued up behind Remnant Dream . He had 34 boxes, which wasn’t a lot compared to Lonesome

Flower, but was still an amazing sum to the average players .

Lu Xin stood beside her brother with high expectations as she watched him open his boxes .

"Oh, a Mooncake! Attack+10%, not too bad . Here, take it," Lu Li said as he passed the Mooncake to his

sister .

In the past, during Mid-Autumn Festival, they would both still buy Mooncakes, because Mooncakes

symbolized reunion . When they ate the Mooncakes, it felt like their deceased parents were still with them .

Even though the in-game Mooncakes wasn’t permitted in matches, they were still usable in dungeons, and

could also be used when farming monsters in the wild, or during PVP with other players .

Lu Li continued to open the boxes .

Mooncakes, Steel grade gears, Mooncakes…

"Mage Tower" Quest Scroll?

Lu Li stared blankly for a few seconds, then was overwhelmed with joy .

If his memories were correct, there would be a certain chance for him to obtain either Polymorph or Ice

Block when he completed the quest . Both were God-tier skills for the Mage class .

If he was extremely lucky, he might even have a chance to receive both skills books .

Polymorph could turn a single target into a small animal . This effect lasted for 15 seconds and during this

time, the transformed target would be unable to attack or cast spells . However, the transformed target

would rapidly regain their health .

Ice Block was even more impressive; everyone referred to this skill as the "refrigerator" . After using this

skill, the Mage would gain an invincible status for 10 seconds .

Of course, after using it, they wouldn’t be able to attack anyone else .

This quest scroll was priceless .

Unfortunately, Lu Li wasn’t a Mage .

This wasn’t the first time that he had questioned his class choice .

On his first day of playing, he had obtained "Frost Nova", a skill book that even most level 30 Mages would

not be able to obtain . Now, Polymorph and Ice Block were waving at him again .

"Flower, yours," Lu Li said as he passed the quest scroll to Lonesome Flower .

Lonesome Flower took the quest scroll and briefly scanned it . He didn’t think much of it; he had no clue

about the rewards of this quest .

Lu Li didn’t explain it either – he wasn’t interested in showing off . Once Lonesome Flower received the

reward, he would thank him anyway . Besides, Dawn’s quests had always been very strange – putting in

more effort didn’t mean that you would receive something better . Sometimes, going with the flow was the

best option .

After this scroll, there was nothing else from the box that was worth mentioning .

Collectively, the Xin Xin Mercenary Group had opened a couple of hundred Mooncake Boxes, but no one

had managed to obtain a mount .

According to the forums, the best item that could be obtained from these boxes was a level 20 Silver grade

mold . Perhaps there were better items, for example, the "Mage Tower" Quest Scroll that Lu Li had given to

Lonesome Flower . However, no one knew of its value yet .

As for the accessories, it was hard to determine their value . Some would consider the accessories to be

extremely valuable, while others complained about their barely existent attributes .

Before he went offline, Lu Li sent a message to Shen Wansan and asked him to help him purchase similar

scrolls .

Whether they were quest scrolls or dungeon scrolls, he wanted all of them .

Many people were clueless about the value of these items, but Lu Li had an extra three years of game

experience .

Mid-Autumn Festival arrived on the next day .

A festive atmosphere could be felt everywhere in the game . Lots of places hung up different decorations to

celebrate and players could even set the environment of the cities to night-mode .

Hence, a bright moon hung in the sky and the city was lit by lanterns . Even by reality’s standards, this was a

beautiful and rare sight .

"Everyone, good luck . The top hundred are going to be decided today . Don’t get eliminated . "

Lu Li didn’t admire the beauty of the scene for too long . He was calm and only thought about performing

well in the competition .

"Relax . We’re still planning to see you in the finals . "

Azure Sea Breeze seemed to be confident about his team .

"I’d hope so…" Lu Li didn’t want to discourage him .

Even with luck on their side, Azure Sea Breeze might not even be able to make it into the round of sixteen .

Wandering’s team had an even smaller chance, since they had already lost a match before . If they lost

another match before they entered the top hundred, they would be eliminated .

After sending a request to the system, Lu Li and the others waited for a few minutes before they were

teleported inside .

The fruit of victory was right before their eyes . If they lost at this point, they would definitely regret it, so all

those who were participating in the matches today made sure they were at their very best .

Lu Li’s team had only just seen who they were up against when they were rushed by the opposing team .

It was another team that consisted entirely of damage dealers .

Moonlight used Whirlwind right in front of March Rain and a Thief was forced out from Stealth .

This wasn’t just a lucky guess, but rather, an accurate judgement made by a PVP master . He assessed the

movement speed and positioning of the opponent and casted the skill before they could lay their hands on

the healer .

The Thief was caught by surprise and instantly used his Swiftness effect .

He thought he could make it out of Whirlwind’s cast range with the burst of his movement speed, but he

had no clue that Lu Li was already waiting for him .

Lu Li opened with a sudden strike and forced the Thief to stay where he was .

The Thief endured the entire Whirlwind . Even for a leather-armored class, Whirlwind wasn’t a skill that

could easily be tanked .

The Thief never got his chance; he died even before he could do anything .

The other team was left with a Paladin and a Warlock .

They had wanted to save the Thief too, but he was stuck inside the Whirlwind . There was nothing that they

could do .

The opposing team had lost their main damage output right from the start; there was no doubt about who

was going to win the match .

However, they still fought as hard as they could, until the Paladin was finally struck down and sent out by

the system .

Lu Li’s trio was the first to win a match today; it didn’t take long before they were teleported out too .
