Chapter 431
Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations
Lu Li handed over the Number 257 Administrative Order to Shen Wansan for him to sort it out . Shen Wansan’s little auction was about to take place, and unlike the system auctions, he planned to sell only the highest quality items .
An item that could instantly level a guild to level 26 was exactly what he needed .
There weren’t many people out there who were wise like Square Root 3 and were capable of resisting temptation . There were plenty of rich kids in Dawn who wanted it easy, but they would be paying an expensive learning fee for their own naive nature .
Lu Li didn’t have time to catch up with Shen Wansan; he left the two of them in the bar to continue drinking .
As he left, he invited Fat Monkey to join him at Warsong Canyon .
Before proper battle grounds came out, Warsong Canyon was the only place where gamers could experience heated battle .
Of course, if you didn’t mind the PVP points from killing people in the wild, you would be free to draw your sword anytime .
"Theoretically, I should’ve invited an Ice Mage," Lu Li cut straight to the point . He wasn’t someone who wasted time, especially when he was dealing with someone he wasn’t familiar with .
"I’ve learnt some Ice Mage skills too . Some fire skills deal more damage when the opponent is frozen," Fat Monkey said, not convinced .
"Ice Mages can cast two Frost Novas . Can you do that? Ice Mages can reduce the movement speed of players . Can you do that too?" Lu Li asked .
"Alright, in terms of control, Fire Mages aren’t as great as Ice Mages . This cannot be helped, but why did you ask me to come?" Fat Monkey gave up . At the beginning of the game, he had completed a quest . The quest gave him advantages for his fire magic, but in return, his damage for ice magic and arcane magic was reduced .
"Because you have a good gaming conscious," Lu Li comforted .
This was indeed why he had chosen Fat Monkey . Most importantly, Fat Monkey’s fame in Lu Li’s previous life was a major deciding factor . He was one of the rare master gamers who dominated the battle grounds as a Fire Mage .
Lu Li couldn’t do much to help Fat Monkey climb to the top .
There were some things that could only be self-taught . His guidance for March Rain was only limited to general knowledge .
"So it’s a test today?" Fat Monkey tried to calm himself, as he held tightly onto the staff in his hand . A wide road towards the life a professional gamer was laid out in front of his eyes .
There were no other clubs that provided a chance like this .
Players from other clubs had to start as a backup player . It would take them years of testing, training and competition against others for them to actually stand on the match grounds oe dayn .
Fat Monkey thought Lu Li was joking when he was notified to attend the upcoming Magic Cup competition .
"It’s not really a test – we’re just going to go in and play for a bit in Warsong Canyon . We’ll set the time limit to an hour . Let’s see how many we can kill . "
Lu Li was already certain he was going to put Fat Monkey in the competition; today was just a little test that would help him understand Fat Monkey better .
"Sure . Let’s compete," Fat Monkey nodded and charged off .
The first player he ran into was a Paladin . The Paladin was horrified as he took around two hundred points of damage from Fat Monkey’s Fireball .
"Shame it wasn’t a critical strike," Fat Monkey said, unsatisfied with his damage . If only his equipment was as good as Lonesome Flower’s…
The Paladin ran even faster after he heard this; he was only here to kill some newbies . Who would’ve thought that he would run into a level thirty Mage? It was probably a Mage with good gears too – he had taken around two hundred points of damage and it wasn’t even a critical strike .
Fire Mages weren’t as good as Ice Mages in terms of crowd control, but they had much higher damage .
Lu Li went into Stealth mode and followed on the side . He didn’t do anything to help and paid his full attention on Fat Monkey’s techniques .
Fat Monkey flashed towards the Paladin and froze him with a Frost Nova . He began to channel a big spell, but the Paladin could only watch as this happened .
A big spell took a longer time to cast, but it would also have higher damage . The Paladin lost a third of his health after the spell hit him .
He knew that escaping was no longer an option for him, so he turned around and tossed his hammer at Fat Monkey . Fat Monkey took a few steps back, pulling his distance away from the Paladin and placing burn damage on his opponent .
The Paladin continued dropping health and although he also dealt some damage to Fat Monkey, it wasn’t enough to turn the tides of the fight .
When Fat Monkey placed a Fire Shield on himself, the Paladin turned around to escape again .
Fire Shield provided higher defense towards physical damage and also slightly increased the player’s critical strike chance . The Paladin was worried about his death since he had a little less than half of his health left .
As soon as the Paladin turned to run, Fat Monkey casted a Cone of Cold to slow down the movement speed of his opponent .
The outcome was predictable - there was nothing that the Paladin could do against a level 30 fire Mage .
The battle didn’t last for long – it was only around a dozen seconds . Including Frost Nova, which dealt no damage, Fat Monkey had used a total of eight skills to kill the Paladin .
"What do you think? Pretty decent right?" Fat Monkey asked, clearly enjoying himself .
"Your skill combination was a bit slow and you also wasted a big spell in the end . You could’ve solved the problem with an Inferno Impact instead," Lu Li said as he stayed hidden beside Fat Monkey .
"My bad . " Fat Monkey thought for a bit and found that Lu Li’s words were spot on .
"You don’t know enough about the skills from other classes . You should try training in the battle grounds in your spare time . "
Lu Li swapped to his communicator; he was already somewhere else faraway .
A Mage who was killing another player from the Horde faction felt a sense of danger . Before he had the time to react, a dagger had already been stabbed into his back . The Ambush that followed sent him into a low health status .
His healer team member had a fast reaction, but not as fast as the attacker . The healing skill lost its target at a key moment and disappeared into thin air .
"There’s a gaming master here . Everyone watch out," the captain reminded his team members .
Most average players wouldn’t dare to try and challenge a team of ten elite players . It was rare for a hundred-man team to appear in Warsong Canyon, as the geography of the map could not accommodate one .
Only gaming masters wouldn’t charge in for a head on fight . Instead, they wait for the right moment to pounce .
After Lu Li killed the Mage, he killed another Warrior who was on low health, then went into Stealth mode again and stopped moving .
The three Alliance players who survived noticed the incoming support and immediately lightened up . They didn’t aim to kill the enemies, and only tried to distract them to create a chance for the gaming master nearby .
When Fire Monkey came, he casted a Fireball which dealt critical damage and instantly killed an unimpressed player . The rest of the Horde players began to plot their way out, but only three of them survived .
