1750 A Proposal for an Alliance (1/2)

Claymore of Unholy Might – this was a two-handed broadsword that was purchased at a low price by Her Tears.

Actually, he had a better weapon. However, as someone who was crazy about PVP and often charged headfirst into battle, dropping items was a frequent occurrence for him. This would be his backup weapon, and one that was quite powerful.

Next, there were two T3 Belts, one pair of shoes and one set of shoulders. There were four T3 items in total.

The item drop rates for First Clears were boosted. If it wasn't for it being a First Clear, then it was likely that there would only be four T3 items, despite it being a top-tier level 60 Instance Dungeon.

”There's something that I want to talk to you about,” Square Root Three said to Lu Li. ”It's about this afternoon's competition.”

”What's up? There shouldn't be problems with the competition in the afternoon, right?”

Lu Li didn't understand what Square Root Three meant by that. The match was against Grand Hegemony. Although they were developing at a rapid rate, Ruling Sword had never been worried about losing to them.

”It's Drinking Alone. They might be planning to do some underhanded stuff,” Square Root Three explained.

”I'm friends with him. Why didn't he just approach me?”

Lu Li frowned a little. If it was someone else offering them cash to throw the match, then they could just immediately reject them. However, Drinking Alone was his friend, albeit not one that was very close with him.

”If he approached you right away, then there would be no turning back. He probably approached me to test the waters,” Square Root Three chuckled.

”What does that mean?” Lu Li asked.

”In the end, it's still your decision. Based on how Grand Hegemony is now, it would be too cruel to kick them out of the top 100.”

Square Root Three clearly was not objecting against the idea of throwing the match. It wouldn't be favourable for them if they just trampled on others either.

Lu Li didn't know Grand Hegemony's battle history, so he did a little bit of research to understand the situation.

They were once a top 20 club. However, they were knocked down by a number of other guilds, so their points were lagging behind. Now that they had matched up against Ruling Sword, if they lost, then it was likely that they were going to drop out of the top 100.

To avoid this, they looked for Square Root Three to ask if they could get Ruling Sword to give them a chance.

”How about this? I'll discuss this with Drinking Alone,” Lu Li said.

They arranged for a meeting in a tavern in Stormwind City. This tavern was an establishment founded by a player. Lush and verdant vines snaked up the walls of the tavern, but the design aesthetic was also quite modern. It was well-suited to having meetings. Furthermore, the costs were rather high here, so it was not too crowded.

Drinking Alone's smile was a little forced.

After all, the purpose of this meeting wasn't a casual hangout with friends. To think that the first time that they met, Lu Li seemed like a normal player who was just a little luckier than the others while he himself was in charge of a mega-club…

How things had changed with time. Lu Li was now one of the key figures in the whole of Dawn and the gaming industry, while his mega-club needed players to join them.
