The plan was quite simple, but it was despicable .
The fact that he didn't manage to poach Fat Monkey was a testament to how reliable he was . However, there were many other talented players out there, and Blood Red War Flag was second only to Glory Capital .
Having a spy in Ruling Sword would be very useful . They could rely information and even sabotage matches .
"How much did Dust Dragon promise to give you?" Lu Li asked . He was quite curious to see how much Blood Red War Flag was willing to pay for their plan to defeat Ruling Sword .
"One million upfront, and I wouldn't have to do anything while in the top 100 . After sabotaging a match in the top 16, they were going to pay me another two million…"
"Two million!" Lu Li felt a little dizzy .
Did these big guilds have money printing machines? They were willing to pay three million for the sake of one match in the top 16?
"Yeah, if I did it in the quarter-finals they would pay me three million instead, then four million for the semi-finals and five million for the finals," Fat Monkey said, then paused and shouted out, "Those damned dogs were really generous!"
Lu Li was still in shock .
Even he still didn't have that kind of money . Yet, five million dollars was being offered for sabotaging a single match, which would add up with the initial upfront amount to a total of six million .
As long as nothing happened, a family could comfortably live off this amount of money for the rest of their lives .
"Why didn't you agree? It's 5 million dollars . "
Lu Li felt quite distressed . If he was offered this kind of money, he would be willing to do anything for it .
"Boss, please, could you have a bit of faith?" Fat Monkey asked as he looked at him scornfully .
"Sorry, I'm just a little shocked," Lu Li apologized with a wry smile, then raised his glass and continued, "But five million is no small amount . Fat Monkey, aren't you still a college student?"
"It's not about my education – If I did something like that and was found out, my career would be over . I believe that I can make five million over my lifetime . I'm only nineteen this year and if I play for another fifteen years, how much is that per year? I already make quite a bit of money and even if I didn't get found out, I would still be pledging my allegiance to Blood Red War Flag . I don't want to do such a thing," Fat Monkey explained .
"It seems like you have considered betraying the guild…" Lu Li was speechless .
If he had just flatly refused the offer, he wouldn't have made such a nuanced reason for his rejection .
"Hehe, thinking about it is a normal thing to do Boss . If it was you in my place, you might have already agreed, but the way I calculated it was whether this five million was enough to purchase my future," Fat Monkey chided .
"Looking at the way you live, you should be okay . I won't ask any more about it," Lu Li sighed .
In fact, he was only a few years older than Fat Monkey and if he had gone to college, he probably wouldn't have graduated . Even so, his mindset was that of a much older person – he had more in common with Square Root 3, who had graduated many years ago .
"You can rest assured Boss – Fat Monkey wouldn't be tempted so easily," Fat Monkey proudly said puffed out his chest . "I will defeat you sooner or later . "
The next few days were spent completing their matches, but after that first round, Moonlight was reluctant to participate .
Lu Li didn't really want to fight those newbies that had gone down after his first few attacks either . As such, Fat Monkey and Carnivorous Cat ended up representing them .
Fat Monkey would take out two or three players and was followed by Carnivorous Cat after he died .
This Warlock really demonstrated her strength here as she would wipe the remaining players without fail .
Carnivorous Cat and Fat Monkey's fighting styles were completely differently . Fat Monkey was like a rash little kid, while Carnivorous Cat was a slow old man .
She took her time and made calculated decisions, which made it seem like she was moving in slow motion .
Of course, her casual movements and her cute expression reinforced the illusion .
There was no doubt that she had been trained very well by her father, who was both a coach and a star player .
Lu Li's rebirth had caused some changes in this timeline . The clubs discovered the strength of Warlocks in these kinds of battles much earlier and quickly poured in more research to devise new strategies .
Meanwhile, the war between Ruling Sword and Gangnam Royals continued .
Both sides were fully engaged in the war and even the professional players were involved . After their matches, they would participate in PVP and would kill up to a dozen players every day . Fat Monkey and Moonlight had killed so many players that they were basically permanently bloodstained .
Even Lu Li couldn't sit still and would occasionally go out to assassinate some important figures of the Gangnam Royals . However, most of the time, he would spend levelling himself .
"My Trade Skill EXP won't go up anymore . Lu Li, how do I get the last point of EXP? Am I almost at Expert level?" Sesame Rice Ball asked in a message that updated Lu Li about his latest development in training his Trade Skill .
Lu Li needed his Alchemy to complete the Worgen Quest .
"Yep, I'll help you complete the quest for it . It's a bit difficult," Lu Li said .
Before reaching Expert level, the Trade Skill tasks were quite easy . However, once you reached Expert level, a lot more was involved in acquiring the new skills .
Alchemy was a popular profession, and its Expert level not only added new potions, but even more branches to specialize into .
Alchemy branched into Potions, Medicine and Items .
The potion specialization allowed the alchemist to make additional kinds of Healing or Mana Potions .
Many Trade Skill Experts chose this specialization as it could make a lot of money . The recipes required for those potions were generally cheaper and made for a quick turnover . While the margins of individual sales were smaller, it was the most profitable of the three branches .
The Medicine specialization allowed the alchemist to create additional products that increased attributes like Agility or Strength .
In addition to upgrading attributes, they could also buff damage, movement speed and defense, among others . This specialization was very popular and in high-demand by most guilds . Almost all guilds would deliberately train this branch .
As for the items specialization, this allowed the alchemist to produce additional bonus items when performing alchemy .
This specialization was also very popular for its luck element . If a player was lucky, they could become rich overnight . But it was hard for something to happen twice, so this branch didn't really make piles of money like the other two .
