Chapter 494

Lu Li wasn’t allowed to visit his sister in the first few days post-surgery . In the midst of his anxiousness, he was forced to log onto the game to sort some things out .



Apparently, there had been a lot of changes in the mere two days that he had been way .

Drizzling Court had an altercation with Star Moon Union and the two guilds clashed against each other . After two hours or so, Star Moon Union was defeated, and several thousand players left the guild .

However, Lu Li cared more about the Magic Cup Tournament .

Lu Li wasn’t able to log on yesterday and Ruling Sword was up against Purple Lunar Paradise . Purple Lunar Paradise performed really well, easily defeating Fat Monkey and the rest of the team .

Based on what Square Root Three reported, when the new their new sub joined the match, the team became a complete mess .

Fat Monkey left the party out of anger and complained about the lack of chemistry in the team . Moonlight peeled for March Rain and neglected Mu Qiu because he trusted in March Rain’s healing more . Sakurary Memories’ Lifesteal was completely useless .

March Rain became flustered for the first time in a tournament setting and couldn’t heal to her maximum potential .

Mu Qiu tried to turn the game around, but was the first to be sent out of the arena .

Lu Li could almost imagine the mess at the time based on Square Root Three’s description .

People who despised Ruling Sword finally found a reason to flame them . That day, the whole server was talking about how hopeless Ruling Sword was without Lu Li .

When Lu Li logged on, they were preparing for today’s match .



This was their second time fighting alongside each other . Lu Li signalled Square Root Three not to interfere and let them sort it out themselves .

The rules for Magic Cup was quite confusing . Losing two matches didn’t mean they were automatically eliminated, however, they would be placed at a lower seed in the next stage .

"How are things with Xin Xin? When can we visit her?" Square Root Three asked . Before the match started, they decided to sit down together and chat .

"The doctor said she’s doing well, but she can’t have visitors right now because she could get an infection . You’re welcomed to give her a call, but the call can’t last for too long," Lu Li replied as he read over some criticism from professional players on the game forum .

"Looks like you can’t relax just yet; I thought you’d be relieved after the surgery," Square Root Three said .

"Yeah, the post-op management is more important than the surgery itself . I need to make more money in the mean-time," Lu Li said as he smiled bitterly . "My mind is a mess right now . Even if I joined this match, I would underperform by a lot . "

Whenever he thought about his sister and the pain she was going through, his heart ached and breathing became difficult .

"No worries . This is a great opportunity for them to learn and prepare for the end of year tournament . " Square Root Three wasn’t very worried .

"How’s Fat Monkey?" Lu Li asked .

Although Square Root Three wasn’t a pro player, he had a lot of experience and a good eye for talent .

"He’s too much of a hot head," Square Root Three chuckled . "Maybe he’ll get better with time, but he’s too temperamental right now . He should be blamed for the loss yesterday . "



"There’s no other choice . We need more capable players for the tournament at the end of the year and the best way to find talent is to develop them ourselves . He must become more mature and capable to start for our PVP team . "

Lu Li wasn’t disappointed in Fat Monkey at all because he had anticipated all of this .

Someone who wanted to become the best sniper in the world needed real life experiences and practise, as opposed to relying on pure theory .


No one was born to be the best sniper in the world . They had to go through countless years of practice and make mistakes in order to learn and excel . Fat Monkey was currently going through an important stage of maturation into a top PVP player .

Sakura Memories, on the other hand, was playing too passively . Being a DPS player, she needed to be much more aggressive . Green Flag Wine from Peerless City was a great example of an aggressive DPS player .

Lu Li wasn’t too harsh on her because she was a girl .

The tournament at the end of the year featured three individual player matches which gave one point for each win . Two points were awarded for winning the Single Elimination Open Tournament (winner stays on until defeated), while five points were awarded for the team PVP match . This totalled up to ten points .

Of course, this was the information leaked by the gaming company and was still subject to change .

There were other tournament modes that were currently in-the-works such as Challenger Match, Revival Match and others…

There were three players for the Individual Player Match, three players for the Single Elimination Open Match and five players with a sub for the Team PVP match .

According to various sources, players that entered the Individual Match could not enter the Single Elimination Open Match . Therefore, a team of six players was the bare minimum required for the tournament .

If they prevented players from participating in more than one match, then each team would require at least twelve players .

However, Lu Li already knew about the tournament setting from his past life .

Players that participated in the Individual Match could not participate in the Single Elimination Match again, but all players on the team could participate in the 5v5 Team Match .

However, this meant that six DPS classes were required because healers would be useless in 1v1 PVP settings .

Players like March Rain would only be useful in Team PVP Matches .

Mu Qiu had some DPS, but it would be more suitable for him to participate in the Single Elimination Match .

As for Sakura Memories, she would not be ready in time at the end of the year to be able to participate in the individual matches .

Currently, only Lu Li, Moonlight, Fat Monkey and Mu Qiu were capable of participating . He needed to find two more DPS classes to fill the role .

This was much easier said than done . Even with his rebirth, it was difficult for him to think of players to recruit to Ruling Sword .

"Wow, nice Frost Nova…"

The match against Majin Temple had already begun . Their Thief tried to flank March Rain, but Fat Monkey somehow anticipated this and froze the Thief in place .

This was the talent that Lu Li had seen in him . Game sense was something that some players were born with, and this separated the average players from the top players .

The Thief had already lost half of his HP bar and used Gale Steps to try and escape . However, Mu Qiu followed closely behind and casted Consecration .

Although Consecration only dealt 10 or so damage per tick, it prevented the Thief from Stealthing away to safety, so he was killed like a sitting duck .

Unforgetful Maple was late to save his Thief and was furious that he’d lost a player so early in the match . Majin Temple’s sub entered the fight, but they had to play much more conservatively in case they lost another player .

Unforgetful Maple tended to overthink in tough situations and was afraid that their sub was Lu Li .

No one knew why Lu Li hadn’t played in the last match .

Many players, including Unforgetful Maple, speculated that Lu Li didn’t play in order to give their rookie player an opportunity to gain some experience . Since they had lost their last match, it would make sense for Lu Li to participate in this match in order to prevent another loss .

"We might win this match," Square Root Three laughed out loud .

"Yeah, Unforgetful Maple is very good at calculating and strategizing in tournaments . However, this time, he might’ve complicated the situation against his favour . " Lu Li was more familiar with Unforgetful Maple’s thinking and strategies than Square Root Three .
