Chapter 389

The hostess was familiar with the road ahead and plowed through quickly . Lu Li had to be completely focused just to keep up .
He was slightly regretful now that he was so impatient . It was very important that he didn’t lose track of the hostess, but it was doubly difficult to do so at night . There were several occasions where he almost lost sight of her .
After several minutes, Lu Li was covered in sweat and he had no idea how much travelling he had left .
Eventually the hostess in front of him stopped, then went into a wooden cabin . There were a group of Trolls hiding in this house . Each of them were wearing scuba masks and they were quite strange looking .
Trolls and Night Elves belonged to the Horde and Alliance respectively, and were supposed to be hostile . However, because of the Ravenholdt Manor’s sphere of influence, they were forced live together peacefully .
"Windcatcher, your Excellency, I have brought someone who wants to participate in the test," the Hostess bowed and said respectfully .
The Trolls sat there motionless . Lu Li didn’t know if they had fallen asleep or just didn’t want to respond .
After a while, the Hostess helplessly waved her hand and said, "We’ve arrived a little late; the Windcatcher is already resting . Looks like we’ll have to stay here for the night and accept the trial tomorrow"
"So they are no longer working," Lu Li nodded in understanding . He went to a corner and sat down .
After a while, the System prompted him to log off . The Hostess watched as Lu Li leaned into the corner and fell asleep .
The next day, Lu Li hurriedly logged back on .
When he opened his eyes, the Hostess was gone . There was just a Troll squatting in front of him, who mumbled, "Lazy fool, if you don’t wake up I’m going to cook you and eat you . "
Lu Li shivered before asking, "Where is my guide?"
"She left; she had completed her quest . This is your destination and perhaps the end of your journey," the Troll replied .
"Is the Ravenholdt Manor here?" Lu Li said with a surprised expression . Of course, there was also a bit of contempt in voice as this was just a small wooden cabin . It was just not as he had expected .
"Of course not; this is just the outside . I am the examiner for the test . You are the first adventurer I’ve seen and I had hoped it would be a Troll, preferably a Troll Engineer . If it was, I would have just directly let them pass . "
"I am learning Engineering," Lu Li said quickly .
Even if he didn’t know how to act like Hachi Chan, he couldn’t offend them .
"Oh, let me see one of your works . We’ll study it together and if you want to pass the test, you’ll have to convince me that it’s good . " The Troll took off the goggles and revealed a pair of grey pupils .
Lu Li thought for a moment, before pulling out a syringe and injecting himself with it .
Then the Troll watched as Lu Li shrunk and became a mini version of the Night Elf .
"Ah, I know this one . The World is So Big . "
The Troll rummaged through his bag for a couple of seconds and also took out a syringe to inject himself with .
He shrunk until he was even smaller than Lu Li .
The originally small log cabin now felt like a big mansion .
"Does this mean I passed?" Lu Li asked tentatively . After all, it wasn’t much of a surprise that the Troll would also have the World is so Big .
"Nope, you’re not a Troll so you need to show me something I don’t have . I am an Engineering Expert . " The Troll was very happy, but he stood firm on the fact that Lu Li wasn’t a Troll .
This was such a difficult task!
Lu Li sighed and took out a bomb, then threw it at his feet .
"This is…" the Troll muttered as he looked at the fuse . Then, there was a bang and the whole hut was blown up .
The two of them climbed out of the ruins and stared at each other .
"Windcatcher your Excellency, do you accept that?" Lu Li had to admit that he had enacted a bit of revenge . What a terrible quest that discriminated against races that weren’t Trolls!
When he had the opportunity, he was going to go to the Warsong Canyon and kill a dozen Troll players .
Bath’ra The Windcatcher wanted to slap him in the face . Building a cabin was easy, but this bomb had almost killed him .
Hrm, the bomb…
"Do you know that one? Let’s see yours if you do . " Lu Li ate some bread and sat down to regenerate his HP . With his current equipment, a single such bomb wouldn’t kill him .
"I…I don’t know that one," the Troll’s shoulders drooped as he spoke sheepishly .
"What, you don’t know it? This is just an Intermediate Recipe that I learned a long time ago . You just said that you were a Master Engineer!" Lu Li pretentiously shouted with a performance that could win an Oscar .
He spoke so loudly that everyone within half a kilometer could probably hear him .
The Troll’s face turned a bright red .
As an Engineering Master, he hadn’t felt such embarrassment for many years .
There was a long process for upgrading Trade Skills in Dawn . They went from Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, Sage, Master, to Grand Master . Despite the popular belief, there were no Demigod or God ranks within that system .
Master and Grand Masters were rare . Being a Sage already made you an industry leader . There wasn’t a single Master Engineer in the whole of Stormwind .
When he experienced the Ivy’s Fool Bomb, a recipe that had been lost for thousands of years, Bath’ra the Windcatcher couldn’t help but feel like he had been punched in the face .
Moreover, in this situation he couldn’t even get angry at Lu Li . Lu Li was still laughing when he said, "You’re a genius after all . Come, you have passed the test . Let me take you to see the duke . "
Bath’ra waved his hand and two motorcycles appeared by the mountain .
That majestic shape, the rough lines and the earthy gold colour – this was the legendary…
Mechano-Hog!
Dawn’s first ever God item!
If he parked this by the side of the road, a pile of girls would rush to his side .
Lu Li’s eyes were bright and he was salivating .
"Don’t look at me like that; these things are just too precious . I spent all my wife’s money and I even had to bind it to my soul," Bath’ra said bitterly .
A Soul binding meant that the item couldn’t be traded .
"Master, can you show me the blueprints for the Mechano-Hog?" Lu Li asked as he tugged at the sleeves of Bath’ra .
"This is something only a Master Engineer can create . Even if you were at an Advanced level, you couldn’t do it . Young man, you need to develop your conscientiousness," Bath’ra said as he pulled away .
He started the vehicle and the birds in the forest were scared by the roar of the engine .
"Oh, okay . I had wanted to share the blueprint for the bomb with the Master," Lu Li said with a face of regret .
"What, you are willing to share the bomb’s secret?" The motorcycle suddenly swerved and hit a nearby tree . Windcatcher Bath’ra had faceplanted into the ground .
