The Great Thief

What?

First Clear!

Ruling Sword got the First Clear?

Correct!

Lu Li again?

No!

It was Sky Moon this time!

Sky Moon? When did he become so good? Wasn’t he just someone who Lu Li was nurturing as a rookie commander? How could he already get a First Clear for Ruling Sword? There were so many other top commanders in the game. Even if they couldn’t compete with Lu Li, they weren’t even able to compete with his student?

This world was too illogical! This game was simply unplayable.

Normal players weren’t the only ones reconsidering their lives.

It was not easy to become a commander who was in charge of a club with more than 100,000 members. At the very least, they needed to have confidence. Even the least bit of confidence was better than none.

Now, these commanders were also reconsidering their own lives.

“Maybe it was Lu Li who took charge for most of the battle, but then he transferred the leader position to Sky Moon at the very end…”

“Listening to you makes my brain cells die. Do you think that it’s that easy and that the System is that stupid? Do you really think that the System doesn’t know who is in charge? This has already long been fixed in the world of gaming!”

“I already said that Sky Moon is a genius. You guys just didn’t believe me.”

“I also think Sky Moon is very capable. I remember when he faced off against Sorrowless in the Stronghold Battles. He didn’t shy away from it at all and instead held his ground.”

“It’s already obvious that Sky Moon isn’t the average player. He already was able to take down Gale Legion’s defense. Furthermore, it was Wendelian who was responsible for Gale Legion’s defense. Next time, don’t put him and Lu Li together. Sky Moon is Sky Moon.”

Many pro players debuted during the second season of competitions and many of them had built a reputation for themselves.

This was a player who wasn’t a pro player. Sky Moon had ‘debuted’ as a commander and immediately stole everyone else’s thunder.

The large corpse of the great demon leader appeared in the middle of the battlefield in the depths of Magtheridon’s Lair.

Everyone congratulated Sky Moon on his achievement.

Lu Li slapped his shoulder and said, “I’ve already said this before. You have the greatest potential. You need to believe in yourself. I hope that you won’t disappoint me in the future.”

Sky Moon was shaking out of pure excitement.

“Boss! Don’t worry! I will take care of it!”

“As long as you’re happy!”

Sky Moon’s line of vision landed on Wandering. As the team’s right hand man, what else could Wandering say? It wasn’t him who was going to be commanding in the future anyway.

Furthermore, if Sky Moon ever decided that he didn’t want to do it anymore, it was likely that Wandering would need to pick up the slack.

“I have high hopes for you, Little Moon! You must believe in yourself,” Wandering encouraged as he used his sincere gaze to convey his support. Sky Moon was even more dazed.

“Haha! Little Moon, next time, you command, I’ll tank and then we’ll bring Hachi Chan and Dreamy and we’ll clear every Boss out there and take all the First Clears!” Azure Sea Breeze laughed. “Oh, that’s right. We need to kick this cursed man Lu Li off our team. If that happens, I guarantee that Dreamy will be looting much, much better items.

After this was said, these few scumbags were discussing who they would take to future dungeons.

It didn’t matter who was chosen. Lu Li seemed to be the one being left behind.

“Dreamy! Come loot the items!”

“Oh! I’m coming.”

Remnant Dream didn’t care about who was chosen. She just wanted to loot.

Furthermore, she felt that it was not bad bringing Lu Li along either. There was a sense of satisfaction when looting great items in the presence of such an unlucky person.

“So many gems for Mages, Warriors…and mine…”

“There’s only one Boss in this dungeon! Naturally there are going to be a lot of things. Where’d you learn this behaviour from? How shameless. It’s not yours; it’s for Hunters!”

Lu Li was completely taken aback. This was no longer the innocent young girl from before.

“Rubbish. It was obviously learnt from you,” Azure Sea Breeze sneered.

Gems were easier to distribute, unless they were especially good. Otherwise, no one would want to spend their points, so there was not much competition over it.

As for the gems that were more suited to PVP, the professional competitors took priority.

“Wow! Enhanced skill book. Not mine…”

“Oh, so now she’s become a bad child. She doesn’t even need to say which class anymore – just whether it’s hers or not.”

Lu Li took the book in his hands and examined it. It was a Druid’s skill book and neither Innocent Child nor Hachi Chan had it. However, since it wasn’t a skill that was for PVP purposes, Lu Li himself made the decision to give it to Hachi Chan.

Karaborian Talisman, Dark Gold, secondary weapon.

Unfortunately, although the properties were not bad, no one wanted it.

Lu Li didn’t mind that since he could just put it into the guild storage and leave it for other ordinary players to claim it.

The purpose for joining mega clubs despite being at the bottom of the food chain was not all for the sake of glory. There were also great benefits from making this decision. The items that slipped through the top players’ hands would fall into the hands of the regular players. This was the advantage that members had over independent players.

Thundering Greathelm, Dark Gold, Plate Helmet.

Unlike the last item, this item would be claimed. This was because Moonlight claimed every suitable equip that no one else wanted.

He often lost items when playing PVP. Although these items were rubbish in his eyes, normal players wouldn’t think so. However, Moonlight’s existence in the club wasn’t annoying to the other members. Instead, he was a motivational figure and had many fans in the club.

Moonlight liked to fight alone; he didn’t want to bring anyone.

Crystalheart Pulse-Staff!

An Epic item finally dropped. It was suited for DPS magic-based classes. Properties aside, the aesthetics of this staff were also rather eye-catching.

Naturally, there was a huge bidding war that ensued.

In the end, it was a Shadow Priest who took it away. He had to spend most of his points to do so.

Glaive of the Pit!

This was a polearm, so it was usable for Druids, Paladins or Hunters.

Lu Li decided to take it and place it in the guild storage to help the ordinary players who were levelling with their friends.

The most special part of this weapon was its Lifesteal. Druids who equipped this weapon alongside a full set of Feral items would not need for external healing in Instance Dungeon monster grinds because of the amount of Lifesteal from the items.

Chestguard of the Fallen Champion, Chestguard of the Fallen Defender, Chestguard of the Fallen Hero!

Three set items dropped at once. This was well and truly fair.

Lu Li, Fat Monkey and March Rain each took one.

One Boss dropped five Epic items. Even if this was a First Clear, this was more than enough to reward everyone’s efforts.

Pit Lord’s Satchel!

There were also other quest-related drops.

A 20-slot bag was decent and Lu Li decided to give it to Azure Sea Breeze. As a Tank, he had to bring many types of potions and elixirs and needed to have different sets of resistance-based Armor. Therefore, more slots would always be advantageous for him.

There were also other First Clear rewards.

Lu Li received a Cloak of the Pit Stalker, which was a level 70 Epic item. Although it wasn’t a particularly exquisite item, it was still better than the Dark Gold cloak that he had, so he immediately changed it.

Everyone dispersed while Lu Li arranged for some people to help Hachi Chan complete quests.

After clearing Magtheridon’s Lair, The Eye and Serpentshrine Cavern were opened to Ruling Sword.

This was Sky Moon’s time to show off now.

As for Lu Li, he was preparing to go to Water Fairy’s house to eat dinner.
