‘Chaos’ was the only word that could describe what was happening. Even a Commander like Lu Li wasn’t able to take care of everything. As such, the players had to use their own judgment for some parts of the fight. Although the fireballs were quite powerful, the attack didn’t lock on so they had the opportunity to dodge them.
Your soul is mine,
the Dean said sinisterly as he pointed at Moonlight.
The consequences of such an aggressive declaration was not to be underestimated. The Warrior, who had just been dealing damage to the Boss, immediately stopped attacking and turned to cast Whirlwind at the ranged Magic players.
Dammit, we have a traitor among us!
Fat Monkey cried out.
His HP was already quite low, and now he was caught within Moonlight’s Whirlwind. He managed to use Ice Block just in time, but he was left with very little HP.
The other ranged players didn’t fare much better.
After all, most of the ranged players were Magic Professions and were most afraid of Physical damage, especially since it was coming from a professional Warrior player.
Moonlight would only be released from the crowd control after fifteen seconds. During this period, Lu Li needed to find a way to control him – otherwise, he would just cut down all their teammates. Moonlight also had some crowd-control skills that would make the Boss’ attacks even more potent.
March Rain, make sure you heal faster. Keep Hachi Chan and Wandering at full HP,
Lu Li said suddenly.
March Rain didn’t quite understand, but did it anyway. When someone was controlled again, it happened to be Wandering. At the same time, his HP was higher than everyone else’s.
This was a minor tactic. After a long time of observation and experimentation by the players, Gandling’s choice of who he controlled was found to generally be the one with the most HP. Even if he didn’t pick that player, he would go for the second healthiest. That meant they could choose ahead of time which player would get controlled.
Hachi Chan and Wandering both had relatively low damage output. Even if they attacked their teammates, neither of them had the ability to kill anyone.
At this time, Glory Capital had finally reached Martin.
They had bought three strategies from Ruling Sword and spent over eight million dollars. More than five million dollars went straight into Lu Li’s pocket while the rest was added into the guild’s development fund.
Sorrowless hadn’t participated in the sale of the strategy at all, but he had obviously allowed Chopsticks to buy it.
He was never a particularly principled person, and had no qualms with any means of ascending.
However, if it weren’t for the fact that they were in a competition with Ruling Sword to complete this Instance Dungeon, Lu Li would only be able to sell the strategy to the entire Dungeon for only 5 million. In fact, he would be hard-pressed to even sell it for 1 million.
Although the First Clear did result in significant bonuses in equipment and materials produced by the Boss, using the strategy to complete the Instance Dungeon wasn’t completely worthless.
Lu Li and Sorrowless’ long-range confrontation had attracted the attention of many players. Almost all players in the gaming circle had their eyes on it. They were all paying attention to the progress of the two Instance Dungeons, waiting for the final result.
Of course, this included much of the gaming media.
Many celebrities in the circle also expressed their opinions to the reporters that were around.
Lucky Southern Persian: I don’t think it is necessary to place too much importance on this competition. It is just a competition between individuals, and whoever wins won’t have much effect on the big picture. Regardless of who are the commander and players are, it doesn’t matter that much.
This was characteristic of Southern Persian. His old-fashioned remarks avoided the subject and diminished the impact of the results.
Gaze: Although Lu Li has managed a number of miracles, don’t forget that Sorrowless’ name is synonymous with miracles. If they both started competing at the same time, Sorrowless’ win percentage might even be higher.
Unforgetful Maple: I support Sorrowless. After all, he has rarely been defeated in so many years.
Green Flag Wine: Perhaps everyone has forgotten the despair of the Sorrowless era. If Sorrowless hadn’t gone to work behind the scenes, Lu Li wouldn’t have stood a chance. Now, Sorrowless has newly reentered the game and is working to reenter the gaming circle.
Lone Smoker Long: Let me tell you who will win. I think Sorrowless will win. I don’t have any reasons, but I just think so.
There were some others who held an opposing opinion, and felt like Sorrowless had been completely washed up.
Most of these players were more casual players, and were just happy seeing Sorrowless losing. They were spectators who relished in the moments when Sorrowless’ team was on the brink of death.
Deadly Gold Underpants: Sorrowless has overestimated himself and underestimated Lu Li.
Cut Me 72 Times: If you take something you aren’t good at and combine it with another thing you’re not good at, what do you think the outcome will be? This is what Sorrowless has done.
Innocent Child: A new generation has come to replace the old. Although seeing Lu Li makes me unhappy, I know he is really strong. Sorrowless can’t maintain the top position forever and one day will be driven away.
Jade Flower Lover: Even if he loses, it doesn’t affect Sorrowless’ status. However, the same can’t be said about his influence – it would show that he is not invincible. Now that his status as an Instance Dungeon commander has been subverted, next time it could be his status as a Field Commander. As for Ruling Sword, the impact of Lu Li’s victory over Sorrowless would be great, since they are in desperate need of glory like this.
Stellar Union Silver Radiant: This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The fierce competitive environment is conducive to the development of the gaming industry. In recent years, the gaming circle has been the same for some time, so it is good that the pot is being stirred.
In addition to the star players, there were also some industrial analysts who were given an opportunity to express their opinions.
Of course, they had a different focus than the star players. While the star players mainly discussed the outcomes, the industrial analysts were interested in Ruling Sword, a guild without any supporting capital.
Some of them even helped Ruling Sword by laying out a so-called development plan.
Shanguan Yunluo, a PR manager of the game company, had a word with the media. Although this wasn’t a big issue, many people seemed to be interested in it.
He first emphasized that he himself knew nothing about Ruling Sword’s situation. The game company did not have any ability to monitor the players’ progress in that way. He then emphasized that both sides were very strong, and this would be a tight match-up.
In fact, the words he spoke revealed that they were waiting in anticipation of the results. The game company didn’t want Sorrowless to remain in the top position anymore, even if it had to be taken by Ruling Sword, a group they weren’t particularly fond of.
