Chapter 297
There was another match in the morning .


Moonlight easily won against his Thief-opponent in his single match .
It was reasonable to say that a strongest class didn’t exist in Dawn; the only thing that existed was the
strongest player .
However, the counter between classes wasn’t something that could ever be ignored . Even with bleeding
skills, stunning skills and combo skills, Thieves were still heavily countered by tank classes such as the
Warrior class .
A Warrior like Moonlight, who had Whirlwind, was definitely the greatest counter for a Thief .
Even Lu Li would have to rely on his own mobility to stay out of trouble and wait until a Warrior finished
using his damaging skills before he could engage in combat .
Besides the fact that March Rain died from being focused by the opposing team, the group matches
weren’t too much of a worry .
However, they weren’t easy either, as their opponents were all LV24 and were mostly equipped with a full
set of LV20 Silver-grade gear .
Fortunately, Lu Li and the others were also constantly upgrading their equipment . March Rain and
Moonlight were nearly fully equipped with LV25 Silver gear .
After they finished the second match, Lu Li began planning to upgrade some of his equipment, even though
his current set was exquisite .
Rager Bracer (Steel): Amour 15, Agility +6, Critical Hit +5%, Level Requirement LV10 . Durability 32/32 . (One
part of the Rager Equipment Set, exclusive to melee professions) .
Rager Pendant (Steel): Hit+10%, Reduces Ice Magic Damage by 5%, Level Requirement: LV10 .
Durability: 32/32 . (One part of the Rager Equipment Set, exclusive to melee professions) .


The Rager set was without a doubt, the best possible LV10 equipment set . In the past, it had served Lu Li
well for a very long period of time .
However, the set eventually reached its limits and became outclassed, especially the Bracer .
Besides the Critical Hit +5% attribute, none of the other attributes on the Bracer were appealing at all . Any
LV25 Superior Quality Silver-grade item would be better .
Using the Molds and materials supplied by Shen Wansan, Lu Li had also made a few Thief Bracers, but they
all came with average special effects .
This couldn’t be helped – good molds were difficult to purchase and rare materials were even more difficult
to find .
Even the big guilds had no answer to this kind of issue .
After some careful selection, he finally found a replacement that could satisfy him .
Wristwraps of Undead Slaying (Exquisite Silver): Armor 23, Agility+15, Strength+5, Special Effect 1: Berserk,
Attack+18%, Lasts for 20 seconds, Cooldown 360 seconds . Special Effect 2: Deals extra 18% damage to the
Undead race, Level Requirement 25, Durability 48/48 .
This was mainly chosen due to its Exquisite quality and the extra 20 points of bonus attributes that it
provided .
The Berserk effect was also an important factor . This was an active effect, which meant that it was
controllable and much more reliable than the passive special effects which heavily relied on luck .
In a game like Dawn, especially in the context of PVP matches, experts generally didn’t like passive special
effects, since they activated by chance . The unexpected activation could also mess up the rhythm of their
attacks, so many of them had a tendency to use what they were able to control effectively .


Lu Li was no exception to this; the Rager’s set wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows for him .
The last special effect of the Bracer fully demonstrated its hate towards the Undead race .
However, Lu Li didn’t think that this was useless at all, even though it was only useful against the Undead .
In the Alliance Faction, most players were Human, with the Night Elves coming in at a close second . For the
Horde faction, most players were Undead, especially the PVP players .
Undead Thieves, Undead Mages, Undead Warlocks and even Undead Warriors – these were all top choices

for PVP players in the Horde faction .
Lu Li kept his Rager’s Pendant – its attributes were still fairly decent . Necklaces also belonged in the rare
equipment category, so he wouldn’t be able to find a better replacement in such a short amount of time .
The other two matches were quite easy; Lu Li and his team managed to score the maximum points .
On the first day of the Top 100, Lu Li’s team scored a total of 12 points .
Azure Sea Breeze’s team scored 9 points; they had lost a group match and a single match .
There were many teams who had lost points on the first day . Apart from Lu Li’s team, there were only
another twenty-one teams who had managed to get the full 12 points .
This season, in the Top 100 of the Shadow Cup, the unluckiest team would be the Peacetime Dynasty, who
ranked 11 th on the Guild Rankings . Their team ran into Drizzle Court in the first round and lost three points .
In their second match, they went up against Gale Legion and lost another three points .
Their third match was against Azure Guard . While they scored in the single matches, they were completely
defeated in the group match .
In the fourth match, they fought against Sorrowless, who had made his comeback . Sorrowless and Blood
Dagger had always been an iconic combination in the gaming world, so there was no doubt that the match
would end with a tragic defeat for Peacetime Dynasty .
A guild ranked 11 th on the Guild Rankings had only managed to score one point on the first day .
They became the most unpopular team for the season .
The single most noteworthy match was between Water Fairy and Green Flag Wine from Peerless City .
Both of them were celebrity gaming experts – Water Fairy was ranked second on the Beauty Rankings and
as the prettiest and richest girl among the gamers, she was destined to attract attention .
Green Flag Wine was known as the Tire Killer – it didn’t matter what class he was playing against; his play-
style resembled a hedgehog . There wasn’t a single open spot for people to lay their hands on .
The match between these two experts received a lot of attention from both the game company and the
hosts of the competition .
However, most people in the gaming circle didn’t place their bets on Water Fairy .
Although she was a great player, who didn’t hesitate to spend her money, she didn’t stand at the pinnacle
of gaming experts .
Green Flag Wine, on the other hand, had a glorious record of defeating famous players like Blood Dagger,
Wild and Elevenless . After playing Paladin in Dawn, his skills had increased greatly . Moonlight had fought
him a few times in the past and had lost more matches against Green Flag Wine than he won .
However, the results of the match were a surprise to everyone – Green Flag Wine lost .
In the post-match interview, the Tire Killer denied the explanations of the analysts, who claimed that he
wasn’t "playing at his best" .
The difference between him and Water Fairy wasn’t the levels – it was their gear .
Water Fairy almost had an entire set of level 25 Silver-grade gear and her weapon dealt insane damage .
Even if the two were to face-off again, Green Flag Wine was unsure if he could prevail .
At this point, everyone began to focus their attention on the gaming masters who were LV25 .
In Dawn, equipment could be changed every five levels . Although the difference wasn’t that substantial, it
was enough to make a small impact in the competition grounds .
Did this imply that the few teams with LV25 players would all be seen in the finals?
Of course, Azure Sea Breeze’s team wasn’t noticed by the media; they were like beggars running into the
garden of a millionaire – they simply didn’t fit in .
A few businesses had already invited Lu Li to be their spokesperson . They offered a price of over eight-
hundred thousand dollars to him .
March Rain’s social status had gone up to 1 . 2 million dollars .
This couldn’t be helped . Although Lu Li had more impact on the team, he didn’t have the good looks of
Wandering or Lonesome Flower, so it was only natural that his price would be a little lower .
Based on the explanations from Moonlight, the businesses were also taking their own risks . They were
placing their own profits on the line with the prices that they offered .
If Lu Li performed even better in the future competitions, they would make an incredible gain . However,
the more times that Lu Li lost, the more profit these companies would also lose .
Lu Li was unmoved by the $800,000 offer, so he declined the opportunity to be their spokesperson .
Being a spokesperson wasn’t as easy as it seemed - not only did these players have to cooperate with the
business for promotional events, but they also had to maintain a good image .
Moonlight wasn’t someone who could be tied down by rules .
March Rain didn’t mind these rules- it was quite possible that she would take accept an offer after she
entered the finals .
