Chapter 1693: Product of the Twins

As the saying went, attributes were a matter of updates, but outer appearances were a matter of a lifetime.

No matter how good the attributes were, they would become nothing in the next update. On the other hand, the appearance would allow players to show off to no end. In the future, the game would also create an illusion system. This meant that under the condition that there were two types of the same equipment, one of them could be illusioned into the other one.

Once the time came, many people would probably go and collect their favourite equipment models. Then each and every one of them would become very trendy.

After this Berserker equipped his new weapon, he immediately won the eyes of everyone. Many regretted not placing down a bid before.

“Mate, don’t ever sell this weapon casually okay?” Fat Monkey said, grabbing the Berserker’s shoulder, then continued in a serious tone, “Once you get eliminated, how about you sell it cheap to me??”

The first half of the sentence depicted genuine concern, then the second half of the sentence revealed his evil intentions.

The Berserker was so happy he couldn’t stop his mouth smiling. Luckily, he hadn’t lost his voice of reason, and fallen into Fat Monkey’s trap.

Vek’linash’s Charm!

This Magic necklace’s attributes were incredible. The auction was doomed to be another bloody storm. It was taken by Fat Monkey in the end. He had pretty much cleared all of his accumulated guild points – more than 200! He ground his teeth at how much that hurt.

There would only be pain if there was comparison. He had a look at what equipment other professions received, then had a look at his Mage items.

Even Shadow Priests could participate for this type of interchangeable Magic equipment. It was incredibly difficult to obtain. Even Lu Li couldn’t say much so he just plugged it to the contestants, since there weren’t any important competitions coming up.

The Donghua Cup was in the middle of determining its top 3.

There was only Ruling Sword, Glory Capital, and the Gangnam Royals remaining. Out of the three clubs, Ruling Sword’s ability was the least impressive. They had dumb luck to get into the top 3. There was only Fat Monkey, Mu Qiu and Short Road who stood out when they took the stage. The rest of the newbies fought rather ordinarily, since they were quite young still.

Those like Azure Sea Breeze purely took the stage to disgust other people. While he fought a few rounds, he really couldn’t kill others so he couldn’t be bothered going on anymore.

If all went to plan, then Glory Capital would win the Donghua Cup fair and square. In reality, Glory Capital had been the champions for the past few years.

Lu Li saw their competitions, and was shocked to find that almost all their so-called newbies already had the abilities of the professionals.

Rome wasn’t built in one day. Even Heaven Trees were grown inch by inch. A thriving club that had survived for centuries would inevitably have built up quite the reputation.

Even if they lost the competition or didn’t get their Instance Dungeon First Clear, the status of Glory Capital’s would remain standing.

The Gangnam Royals had pretty much already gone mad. Apparently, Heart of War’s family had many competitors trying to get rid of him, so he was anxious to prove his achievements. He had paid a lot of money in form a new team of competitors and bought a lot of equipment, no matter the cost.

Heart of War would not have ended up where he was now if he hadn’t gone looking for trouble and managed the club well.

Back when Lu Li first entered the game, the Gangnam Royals was synonymous with the local tyrant’s concentration camps in the gaming circles. There were also many powerful, God-like competitors right up until Heart of wart began to show his domineering side. He drove away a lot of talent until eventually, the guild fell of the altar.

Perhaps, this was a type of growing up for Heart of War.

Regenerating Belt of Vek’linash!

A belt again. Was this guy a belt trader? This belonged to Plate armor and healer professions.

“I...” Hachi Chan opened her mouth.

“You’re getting it whether you want it or not. 50 points,” Lu Li said, cutting her off rudely. It was necessary to cut in, otherwise the bids would become more and more exaggerated.

“...” Hachi Chan was stunned.

“Hachi Chan, if you don’t use it, we can go and sell it? This is Epic equipment, so it can be sold for a LOT of gold coins,” Remnant Dream suggested.

This girl was usually slower than everyone else. Only when it came to making gold coins did her intelligence turn on.

“That sounds reasonable. But why are you so happy for me to sell it?”

Little Hachi Chan had her hand over her bag, and retreated two steps back with a defensive expression.

“I’m helping you with this idea, so wouldn’t you feel embarrassed to take it whole? Wouldn’t you feel ashamed to see me starve?”

Remnant Dream’s way of acting cute was lethal. Even the people watching on the side had the urge to bury her in money out of their pockets.

“You guys can go sell it, but only in our own club okay?” Lu Li reminded them.

“Imperial Qiraji Armaments!”

“Vek’linash’s Circlet!”

There had already been eight pieces of Epic equipment!

There seemed to be too much stuff, to a point where it was abnormal. Everyone was staring at Remnant Dream’s hand to see what else she could loot.

“There were two Bosses. This much stuff is pretty normal.”

Lu Li was very calm as he spoke. Even though defeating the Twin Emperors was achieved in only a single battle, this was different from the previous three Bosses.

“Don’t distribute it yet. Quickly come have a look and see if there’s more!”

Others were staring at Remnant Dream’s little hand with eagerness.

“Anubisath Idol pet!”

Remnant Dream was ecstatic. According to her and Lu Li’s agreement, all the pets dropped during the First Clearing period belonged to her unconditionally. She knew it was a pet as soon as she saw the name.

“Any more?” Lu Li asked.

“Still another recipe, then nothing else,” Remnant Dream said as she her head.

The recipe was for “Enchant Gloves-Strength”, a kind of enchantment for glove parts. The person equipped with it would gain a 2% increase in aggro to monsters.

This recipe was not bad.

There were many sources for enchantment recipes. Ordinarily, they could be dropped when killing smaller monsters. There were many for completing quests too.

Truly good recipes came from only two sources. One was relics, including treasure boxes, and the other was Bosses.

The popular recipes on the market largely came from Instance Dungeons. This recipe came from the Twin Emperors and as such, was both powerful and valuable.

The ability of a Main Tank was mainly determined by two aspects.

One aspect was their own ability to resist monsters. If they couldn’t resist them then it would all be for nothing. They would kill off the whole team in no time. The other aspect was how well they could hold on to the Boss. No matter how high your defense was, it was no use if you couldn’t maintain aggro on a monster, especially if your blocking was not great.

This enchantment added 2% to aggro, which didn’t seem like much, but was more significant than it seemed.
