Chapter 891
Lu Li didn't care that much about the appearance that he would reject an item because it didn't match his aesthetic .


In Dawn, the same piece of equipment would automatically change its appearance when worn by a male or female . When transforming into the female form, it could even gain some extra features like flowers .
Of course, Lu Li paid more attention to the Attributes of the equipment than its looks .
Phantom Cloak (Dark Gold): Armor 65, Agility +40, Strength +20, Constitution +10, Movement Speed +15% . Special Effect 1: Phantom Swiftness . Increases movement speed by 200% for 30 seconds after use . 2-minute cooldown . Can only be used out of combat . Special Effect 2: Phantom Assault . Three illusions appear behind a target . Each phantom has 40% Attack power and lasts for 20 seconds . 30-minute cooldown . Special Effect 3: Hidden Mirage . Enter Stealth upon use . Stealth effect is increased by 200% and movement speed increased by 300% . Equipment Requirement: Level 45 . Exclusive for Thieves . Durability 150/150 .
After seeing its Attributes, Lu Li couldn't help but take a deep breath . He had seen this cloak before .
This kind of cloak wasn't unique, and the last time he had seen one was during his previous life in an Instance Dungeon run .
At the beginning, the leader said that everyone had the opportunity to roll for an item they wanted . However, when this cloak was dropped, he completed abandoned all his morals . This single item completely corrupted him .
This was the nature of wild parties . The leader of the party had the right to all the items, and he could shamelessly take them all if he wanted to .
This was why Lu Li valued his team so much in this life, even at the expense of his own interests . He had managed to convince some players to join him, and he had never been greedy because of equipment .


Lu Li's current cloak was far worse than this one .
Voodoo Cloak (Superior Gold): Amour 45, Agility +30, Strength +16, Movement Speed +6% . Special Effect 1: Stealth increased by 18% . Special Effect 2: Instant Cast . Increases movement speed by 40% when running towards a target, and increases the damage of the first skill to the target by 30% . Lasts for 3 seconds . 2-minute cooldown . Equipment Requirement: 40 . Durability 115/115 .
The reason Lu Li held onto it was because it was part of a set . Unless he could find an item that could replace not only its Attributes, but also the bonus Attributes of the Voodoo set, he had no other option . Without the set effects, the Voodoo items were fairly average .
One of the biggest benefits of the Phantom Cloak was its increase in movement speed .
The fact that it couldn't be used in combat would normally limit the effect's usefulness, but that didn't matter for Lu Li's participation in the marathon .
"Thank you . This equipment is quite exquisite . How did you get it?" Lu Li asked in curiousity .
"I killed someone who dropped it," Water Fairy said arrogantly . As an expert female player, she had naturally received much skepticism . Many believed that her reputation was solely due to her appearance .
"Did that poor guy delete his character and restart?" Lu Li suddenly felt some sympathy for the murdered man .


"It was Peacetime Dynasty's Song of Sorrow . I don't what happened, but I was levelling and he used Cheap Shot on me . Eventually, I ended up killing him and he dropped this cloak . I don't know what kind of star player he is," Water Fairy explained proudly .
Song of Sorrow from Peacetime Dynasty was a highly regarded Thief player . His rise to fame was a bloodstained one; the bodies of numerous players paved his way .
"Did he not ask you to return it?' Lu Li asked jokingly .
"He probably wouldn't; he wouldn't be able to bear the shame . When he was coming up, I was still a novice," Water Fairy grinned and continued to gloat .
"When we get back, I'll give you a copy of Stratholme's strategy," Lu Li offered . He hesitated for a moment before deciding that sharing the strategy wouldn't really affect him anyway . The two following Bosses were even more difficult to deal with, and they were already several Bosses ahead .
"Alright . "
Water Fairy's lips smiled slightly and she did not refuse .
The two then went their separate ways; it was almost the end of the day . Before leaving, they agreed to do another quest next time .
What was supposed to be a very difficult quest turned out to be fairly easy when Lu Li joined .
The next day, Lu Li completed his daily quests within the Plaguelands, and prepared himself to participate in the marathon qualifiers . If he could stand out in the three rounds of qualifiers, he would be chosen as a part of the top 100 from which the three final winners were chosen .
Lu Li was aiming for one of the top two positions . Even if he couldn't get the Epic equipment, he would at least rise a level .
The third place reward was said to be a combination of EXP and equipment . The amount of EXP was nothing like the amount received in second place and the equipment was a far cry from what was offered in first place . Lu Li wasn't really interested in any of it .
Everyone was standing at the start of the track . After the loud bang of the gun, all of the players rushed out from the starting line .
The distance was 26 miles and 385 yards, which was equivalent to 42 kilometers . The length of the track in the game was even longer, and the terrain was also extremely complex .
There were rugged mountain roads, muddy swamps, deep waters…
For the marathon, the game also specifically included a stamina bar . Each participant had a stamina
value of 100 points .
The faster they ran, the quicker the stamina fell, with leopards and horses consuming more stamina than staying in humanoid form . If you flew, this would also consume more stamina . Otherwise, Lu Li could just become a crow and cross the finish line .
The stamina value wouldn't just run out after it was used either . Depending on your Attributes, your stamina value would constantly regenerate .
The fastest way to regenerate stamina was by standing . If you flew, there would be almost no regeneration . As such, the challenge for the players was to allocate the correct timing for moving
and resting .
However, the players were quite intelligent . In the first round, by the time they had finished, most had slowly formed a set of feasible strategies .
Of course, none of these strategies that were figured out in such a short time could compare with Lu Li's . He did not participate in these competitions in his previous life, nor did he specifically study them, but he had heard more than enough from other players talking about it .
