Chapter 1892: Chapter 1892 – Lovebirds

After two days had passed, Ruling Sword finally killed Nightbane .

There were two Skill Points, one Enhanced Skill Book and two exquisite gems that completely made up for all the trouble that had been caused over these last two days .

Lu Li took one of the exquisite gems, which was a pure attack increase . He hoped to put it into a slot of a weapon in future, since the weapons he currently had weren’t worthy of such a gem . He also hoped that they would be able to achieve the First Clear of the Black Temple .

Ideally, the Warglaive of Azzinoth would be dropped . If two of them could drop at the same time, that would be even better .

There was a Dark Gold leather armor called Stonebough Jerkin . The attributes of this item were not bad, so Lu Li assigned it to Water Fairy . After all, Water Fairy had yet to receive any T4 items .

The Nightstaff of the Everliving was a Dark Gold Magic Staff that was given to Fat Monkey . He could use this weapon for now .

There was also an Epic Shield – Shield of Impenetrable Darkness . This increased the Main Tank’s strength by a little bit .

The Epic Cloth robe, Robe of the Elder Scribes, was given to Lonesome Flower as this item was biased towards Ice Mages . Lonesome Flower hadn’t taken many things so far, so this was also to compensate him .

Then there was the Badge of Justice and quest items .

Nightbane’s quest was related to the Serpentshrine Cavern’s large Instance Dungeon . If they didn’t complete the quest, they couldn’t enter Serpentshrine Cavern .

However, the next events were a Stronghold War and the competition .

They didn’t run into any experts in the competition, so that wasn’t worth mentioning .

The most shocking thing was the upcoming Stronghold War . The game officials had finally greatly reduced the defender’s advantage, which meant that Strongholds would now change hands more frequently .

The first Stronghold War after the changes was also the seventeenth Stronghold War overall .

There were two new Strongholds to be officially released .

The first was the Barrenlands’ second Stronghold and the other was for the Tirisfal Woodland .

The fighting this time was very fierce . Ruling Sword’s three-guild alliance and the existing Fel Reavers was enough to defend their Strongholds, even though they hadn’t managed to produce any more Fel Reavers .

However, it wasn’t just Ruling Sword that had Fel Reavers anymore .

Seventh Heaven also had Fel Reavers . Lu Li didn’t know exactly how many they had, but it

seemed that they currently had a total of four in circulation .

Of the four Fel Reavers, two helped them defend the Un’Goro Crater and one helped them win a second Stronghold in the Hillsbrad Hills which was being defended by Gale Legion . Another was sent to attack the first Tanaris Stronghold which was defended by Glory Capital, but unfortunately, that attack failed .

The Fel Reavers had apparently also been weakened in terms of their durability and destructive power .

Glory Capital’s three Infernals had managed to stop Seventh Heaven’s Fel Reaver from taking a Stronghold .

Although Gale Legion had lost the Hillsbrad Hills, they had successfully won the Barrenlands’ second Stronghold . This meant that Glory Capital’s conglomerate was neither winning nor losing a Stronghold this time .

At this point, the Hillsbrad Hills that had originally belonged to Glory Capital were now occupied by Seventh Heaven and Blood Red War Flag, with one Stronghold each .

Blood Red War Flag originally had Hillsbrad Hills’ first Stronghold and Desolace’s Stronghold, but they underestimated the difficulty of defending them . As such, their Desolace Stronghold was taken by a coalition of Majin Temple and Gods of Dusk .

The owner of Tirisfal Woodlands’ new Stronghold was Brotherhood .

They were a relatively low-profile Club that ranked 13th on the latest rankings . They had recently received many fresh recruits and had regained some of their former glory .

Lu Li was quite satisfied with the current situation and had no intention of taking a new Stronghold for the time being .

He secretly released some information that Ruling Sword could help others fight for Strongholds, as long as the right price was paid .

It was one thing to capture a Stronghold, but holding onto it was another matter . If you were able to take it, but unable to defend it, you couldn’t blame Ruling Sword for that .

It wasn’t that Lu Li was trying to do good deeds, but he saw this as a way to make money .

This was probably the gaming circle’s current high priority .

Once this information had been released, many clubs got into contact with them . The prices that they got were quite varied – there were some offering hundreds of thousands and some offering millions . However, there were some laughable offers in the tens of thousands .

Their requests were written quite formally . They would first describe what their ambitions were before characterising Ruling Sword as heroic . They would then say something like how the money was trivial, but the future potential was infinite . They would finally close up with something about how the comrades that fought together today would become unshakeable allies in future .

However, Shameless Lu didn’t buy any of this at all . He hadn’t accepted any of the offers .

A normal price would have been 10 million at the minimum . If you included the costs of the attack, Lu Li felt like a minimum price would have been 50 million . There were not many Fel Reavers around and the game officials had not yet dealt with them, so there was still some time to profit off them .

These arrangements had been thought up by Ruling Sword’s financier, Shen Wansan . He was a proficient businessman who knew how to maximise profits .

Lu Li intended to collect level 70 equipment . Even if there was no Epic equipment, level 70 Dark Gold equipment was still better than level 60 equipment . Even the equipment that was currently being dropped was not guaranteed to be level 70 .

Presently, in addition to the Bosses, there were several large quest chains which were very difficult to trigger . However, most of the attention was currently focused on the Chinese Valentines events .

Since the official launch of the couple system, it seemed that the game officials would not overlook the traditional Chinese Valentines festival . The activities wouldn’t just be for romance, but would also provide many benefits for the players .

Everyday, the players would receive a decent potion and would have an opportunity to complete quests for equipment .

Lu Li was a sad single person in his previous life, so he couldn’t do anything more than watch other players engage in the activities . He could only activate the small quests that had been set by the officials for poor singles .

The main quest was only available for couples and the best quest was called the Love Red Wire .

From the low-level Instance Dungeons like Ragefire Chasm to any other Instance Dungeon below level 70 and the major maps in the Wild, there would be Lovebirds to farm . The level of these Lovebirds was dependent on the location where they were found .

For example, the Lovebirds in Ragefire Chasm would only be level 10 . However, if you found them in the Outland Instance Dungeon, they would probably be level 70 .

These Lovebirds had a certain probability dropping a Love Red Wire . This item could be exchanged for various items at a capital city’s Chinese Valentines special envoys . Among them was a Chinese Valentines gift box that could contain a level 70 Dark Gold equipment .

It was worth mentioning that a player needed to be at a certain level of intimacy with another player to deal damage to the Lovebirds .

The game officials had basically designed this event exclusively for couples .

Lu Li and Water Fairy joined up and began to enter various Instance Dungeons . Although there were many Lovebirds in the Wild, there were also many players trying to steal the drops . Since they were in a team of two and could only fight in melee, there was no advantage to being in the Wild . Playing in the Instance Dungeons gave them a private space to farm the Lovebirds .
