It was much faster with four players – at least three times faster. They didn’t encounter any skilled players in the matches after, since there were only so many players in the game and only players from the China server could be matched with.
Lu Li took Her Tears around for the entire day. Not only did he manage to get him to first place, but he also helped him create a sizeable lead from the second place.
It was also the end of the Glory rankings at night, and Her Tears finally had his wish granted. He was placed first on the Arathi rank for the first week. Not only did he receive a Flaming Warhorse, but his achievements had also been recorded into gaming history.
The Flaming Warhorse was a mount that looked similar to the class-restricted mount that Warlocks had, except it was a brighter red that represented death and battle.
The movement speed of the two mounts were equal; almost all the current mounts had a 30% movement speed boost. It was rare to find something with a 100% speed boost like Lu Li’s Crow Transformation. Crow Transformation was classed as a flying skill, and was therefore banned from the Battlegrounds.
After they re-entered the game on Monday, the matchups for the top four had finally been announced.
Ruling Sword was matched up against Gale Legion!
Drizzle Court was matched up against Glory Capital!
This wasn’t a surprising result to anyone, since there were only four teams anyway and there weren’t many combinations available for people to guess. Only some were disappointed that they weren’t able to see Drizzle Court and Ruling Sword fight amongst themselves.
Lu Li had already thought about battling all three guilds.
Even if he was to actually match up against Drizzle Court, he wouldn’t back down. It had nothing to do with his relationship – Ruling Sword really needed this victory to set their foundation down.
Ruling Sword had no money and Lu Li didn’t want to be controlled by anyone else.
The formation of Ruling Sword had been too rapid; they didn’t have much time to develop. Almost all the major clubs were afraid of them. Fortunately, Water Fairy wasn’t someone who played mind games, and Drizzle Court was also in a similar position without much support from other clubs. This was what brought about the formation of their alliance.
However, this wasn’t enough to solve the fundamental problem that Ruling Sword had.
It would only take one major event to take down Ruling Sword in an instant.
If Lu Li was to suddenly die in reality, would this club still exist? None of the executives at this point would be able to control the situation. The best result would be for the club to wait around for someone who could actually take up the responsibility, but the most likely result would be the disappearance of Ruling Sword.
Without Lu Li, there would be no Ruling Sword!
Glory Capital would at least be able to survive without Sorrowless. White Westhill would be able to maintain order while Blood Dagger and the others could still serve as morale support to the club. They would still be able to compete, and all the major clubs in the gaming industry were capable of the same thing.
After all, they had a history to support them. It made their members feel a sense of pride and belonging to the club. Even if the leader was to change, everything else would remain the same.
If Lu Li wanted Ruling Sword to be passed on, he had to win!
Anyone who lived had to leave a mark at some point.
Gale Legion was strong; none of the clubs were guaranteed to win against them. Apparently, in the friendly matches they held against Glory Capital, the wins and losses were quite even.
As such, Lu Li wasn’t going to be so silly as to underestimate them.
When they entered the game, they didn’t head over to the Battlegrounds. Her Tears only wanted the mount, so now that he had it, he reverted to his usual schedule – playing the Battleground by himself. He expressed that it would be too boring if he played all the time, knowing that he would win anyway.
Lu Li left the city alone and headed towards the Blasted Lands.
There were no teleports available, and the closest spot to it was Stonard. This was the first-developed city of the Tauren upon their arrival in Azeroth.
It was also the largest basement of the East Kingdom for the New Horde. If Stonard was to disappear, then the Horde would be losing their closest base to the Door of Darkness in the East Kingdom. This location had been established for many years, not to mention that it was an important line of supply. It was no different to a scout point.
On the other hand, there were NPCs who could open a portal to Stonard for a short period of time at the exorbitant cost of 20 gold coins.
In reality, the ordinary players wouldn’t spend 20 gold coins to teleport to a strange spot like this.
However, in the future, a portal wouldn’t even be possible, regardless of the price. If it wasn’t for the fact that both the Alliance and Horde were preparing to fight against the Undead army, the Horde definitely wouldn’t have let the Alliance set a portal up here.
The Horde players would be able to complete a quest in the future which would teach them how to open a portal to Stonard. They would be able to teleport themselves with the help of a Mage.
Lu Li quickly left the unstable portal.
There were two rows of heavily-armored Tauren Warriors that stood nearby the portal. They all held giant axes as they stood menacingly with intense gazes.
Lu Li was no coward, but even he was quite frightened.
By the time he entered the game, this portal had already been removed and Alliance players had to find other ways to reach Stonard.
Leave here Elf. You’re not welcome,
a Tauren Warrior with red prints on his armor said.
Lu Li had to play weak; these level 60 Warriors were very powerful and he probably wouldn’t even be able to win against the weakest one amongst them.
The leader might even be a Boss, and it would be a simple matter of lifting a finger for them to kill him in their territory.
I’m planning to search for the tracks of the Scourge in the Blasted Lands. I was wondering if it was possible to rent a Wind Wielder as a mount,
Lu Li requested.
It was as if the leader of the troops had heard some kind of joke as he began laughing with his underlings.
Haha, Wind Wielder? Elf, just give up. Wind Wielders won’t let anyone like a Dark Elf near them. Your kind should only be jumping around on trees.
Lu Li didn’t get upset. There was no point in being upset with NPCs; he wasn’t a crazy person. Perhaps in the future, when he is strong enough, he wouldn’t mind visiting this place again.
The Wind Wielder was a very strong flying mount. It was similar to Wyvern and had a giant pair of wings that grew claws. It also had two strong back legs which helped propel it into the high air.
The flying speed of a Wind Wielder was a 280% bonus, so things would be much easier for Lu Li at Blasted Lands if he had one. Unfortunately, he couldn’t rent one right now, so he would have to fly over there by himself.
