Chapter 292
Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations
Lu Li was silent for a really long time . He wasn’t sure if he wanted to respond and just wanted the
channel to cool down .
Just as everyone thought he wasn’t going to reply, a message came up on the World Announcements .
"Sorry, I only accept your cooperation, but not your jurisdiction . "
The chatter in the World Announcements started up again .
Lots of people were still trying to draw in Square Root 3 wjo;e others were ridiculing Lu Li .
I only accept cooperation, but not jurisdiction .
That was going a little too far . The leaders of the big guilds saw this message and felt uncomfortable .
They all felt that this Lu Li person was like a thorn in their sides .
Square Root 3’s eyes actually lit up when this happened, but he still didn’t accept any of the guild
invitations .
Not long after Lu Li’s match, Azure Sea Breeze’ team, despite their level and equipment advantage,
barely managed to win two matches in order to break into the top 100 .
Wandering’s team didn’t have a healer . With such strong burst, they needed to defeat the opposing
healer quickly . If they could kill the healer within the first few seconds, then they would win . If they
were unable to, they would lose . In their last match, they had faced off against Peerless City’s main
team . Their strategy didn’t work on this team, so they were eliminated just short of the top 100 .
Peerless City ranked ninth on the Chinese Trade Union Rankings and they had stars like Green Flag Wine
and Fatal Gold Underpants .
Speaking of the rankings, these were the unions that placed before Peerless City:
Glory Capital was the well-deserved first place, followed by the Gangnam Royals, then Blood Red War
Flag, Gale Legion, Seventh Heaven, Azure Guard, Drizzle Court, Wings of Dawn, Peerless City and Stellar
Union .
Other than Glory Capital, Gale Legion and Stellar Union, all the others were trade unions .
Although the Gangnam Royals were second, they didn’t have many experts . However, after joining
Dawn, they had managed to win over Dancing Star Dream, A Straw in the Wind and Old Man Power to
form a group of a Thief, a Mage and a Druid . They had yet to be defeated in the competition .
Although not everyone in the top 100 were experts – they could have been lucky like Azure Sea Breeze –
most of them were unique in some way .
After entering the top 100, there was a reasonably long resting period .
Lu Li wanted to do a few things . He wanted to make up for the skill book gap between his team and the
big guilds .
In the competitions, skills that he didn’t think were that common came up, and there were usually two
or three of them at a time . For example, Frost Nova, Soul Shriek, Kidney Shot, Whirlwind…
Lu Li intended to open a Silver Chest .
However, he wasn’t going alone – he also called on Hachi Chan .
He didn’t have a choice . Silver-grade and higher Chests couldn’t be casually opened and their locations
were much more obscure . They could potentially appear in the middle of a freshly spawned group of
mobs .
The Silver Chest that Lu Li wanted to open was guarded by a level 30 Lava Monster . Although, it wasn’t a
Boss, it was much stronger than a regular Elite mob . As such, most players considered it to be a Boss .
Lu Li had almost no chance of killing a level 30 pseudo-Boss, so that meant he wouldn’t be able to open
the chest either .
However, Hachi Chan, who could also fly, could provide him with healing .
"I’ve already bought the things you told me to . Now you want me to come with you? What if you sell me
off?" the little girl pleaded .
"You wouldn’t sell for more than two pieces of Steel equipment," Lu Li savagely shot back .
"You…" Hachi Chan was furious . "I’m upset now…"
Lu Li took Hachi Chan out of the city and headed towards the Southwest Barrenhills . They faced
monsters along the way that were easily slaughtered by him . He was now equipped with a level 25
dagger and his attack had greatly increased .
"There’s no way ahead . "
Hachi Chan craned her neck and stared at the tall, endless mountain before them .
"We’re flying over," Lu Li said as he started channeling his Crow Transformation skill .
"Waah, you can fly too! But you’re ugly . "
Hachi Chan turned into a butterfly and flew two laps around the crow before letting out a satisfied
laugh .
The sound of the laugh was a little horrifying in a place as desolate as this .
"I’ll take you to the chest . Remember to follow me and if there is something dangerous, run away," Lu Li
warned before flying over .
The most common danger in the skies were predator birds . However, in the Barrenhills, there wasn’t
much vegetation or many animals . As such, Lu Li and Hachi Chan didn’t end up running into anything
dangerous on the way .
"It’s so hot! Where are we going?" Hachi Chan complained as she flapped her wings .
"Just take it; it’ll only get hotter . "
After he spoke, Lu Li spotted a red lake not too far from them .
"What is that? Isn’t that magma?" Hachi Chan almost fell in . If she still had legs, they would have
collapsed .
There was no way that they would be able to see such a scene in the real world .
The magma was surging like seawater, curling to form waves .
The spray almost touched Lu Li’s wings and just as he was about to fly higher to avoid it, someone from
behind him told him to stop .
"Just come over here; nothing will happen . "
"Liar, I just saw you almost get roasted . " Hachi Chan wasn’t that silly .
"I’m taking you to find some good items; it won’t be dangerous . "
Hachi Chan was a 16-year old girl, so Lu Li couldn’t force her . He could only be patient with her .
"Really?" Once she heard that there would be good items, the little girl forgot about the dangers .
She followed behind Lu Li and avoid the magma splashes for 5 to 6 minutes before finally finding an
island in the lake . Lu Li circled it before deciding on a spot to land .
From an external perspective, some sort of intelligent activity had occurred . There was a half-
constructed temple in the area .
Hachi Chan then landed and together, they both changed back into human form .
"I’m about to die of this heat; why didn’t you tell me to bring water?" Hachi Chan opened a bottle of
water and gulped some down before pouring the rest on her head .
Lu Li ignored her and tried to find the chest from memory . Sure enough, the chest was at the back in a
stone wall .
The construction of the chest was extraordinary . Its entire body was made of silver and there was a
constantly changing pattern on it .
A Silver Chest!
The lava island’s Silver Chest had a great probability of dropping all kinds of exquisite Skill books . That
was a note that Lu Li remembered reading from his past life .
Not only did the note record the loot, but it also recorded the powerful monster that guarded the chest .
"Wow, it’s a chest!’ Hachi Chan exclaimed and rushed forwards .
"Do you want to die?" Lu Li grabbed her and watched the surrounding terrain . He chose a place where
Hachi Chan could provide healing .
Hachi Chan obediently stood behind a rock and squatted down .
When Lu Li needed her healing, she would stand up and cast her spell . Otherwise, she would stay
squatting so she wouldn’t be targeted by the lava monster’s attacks .
