Chapter 975: Farming In the Arena

Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations
Since he had decided to fight in the arena, he needed to be as efficient as possible.
It was usually better for ordinary players to earn Glory by fighting on the battlefield. Even if you died, the battlefield handed out rewards and Glory based on kills. On the other hand, the arena calculated its rewards by matches, and you wouldn’t receive anything for losing.
However, for an expert, this wasn’t a good solution.
If a real expert wanted to earn Glory, they would go to the arena. It was as quick and easy as mowing the lawn!
Fighting in the battlefield was also a 1v1, but it took longer to find an opponent. Who knew how long it would take before Lu Li would gain enough Glory?
This time, Lu Li didn’t set up his own room, but opted to randomly match against other players. As his win percentage increased, his room would become more attractive to other experts, but Lu Li didn’t want that. Fighting an expert meant an increase in the duration.
Since it had been a long time since he last went into the arena, Lu Li’s arena level had also dropped by quite a lot.
At first, he was actually matched with a level 43 newbie.
Fortunately, he had hidden his name and rank. Otherwise, this newbie would have been terrified at the sight of him. Regardless, he dealt with the player in three attacks, which must have been a traumatic experience for him.
The second match was against a level 46 Warrior. It wasn’t a difficult fight, but it wasn’t over as quickly as the first.
As such, Lu Li set up a filter which screened out Warriors, Thieves, Paladins and Druids. These four professions were annoying to deal with. Warriors and Paladins had tough Plate Armor, Thieves could go into Stealth, and Druids could also go into Stealth in addition to healing themselves.
He also reduced the preparation time to 1 second. This way, things would be much more efficient.
There were many Dawn players and matchmaking was quite fast; Lu Li would receive a match in a few seconds. It would take 1-2 seconds for the other player to confirm, followed by 1 second of preparation time and 10 seconds of battle time. Lu Li had reduced the whole process down to about half a minute.
Lu Li’s rank was Centurion (14290) at the start of the day, but he rapidly rose to Centurion (20000) with a total of 5710 Glory gained.
The arena calculated the Glory reward based on the equipment, level and battle time. If a match was won, he would gain a little less than 10 points, but sometimes he could it would be more. It was impossible for Lu Li to earn hundreds of Glory points with his level and equipment. On average, he gained about 20 points, which meant that Lu Li had to fight almost 285 matches to complete his goal.
If a match took less than a minute, he would become a Senior Centurion in another 3 hours.
However, an average person trying to do this would probably take a week. After all, not everyone could dispatch their opponents as quickly as he was, and not everyone would win every match.
After earning the Senior Centurion rank, Lu Li immediately went to the quartermaster to get the Level Reducing Gem.
Stormwind City’s Quartermaster was a bald muscular man, with a thick beard, but more closely resembled a Dwarf.
Lu Li didn’t really understand why his hair was falling out when his beard was so luscious.
“Oh, a new Senior Centurion. Would you like a Cheetah Mount? It’s only 20,000 Glory – very cheap. You know…” Captain Captopril rambled on. He was very active in promoting his items.
Currently, there were few players in Dawn who were able to attain first place in the Warsong Canyon each week, so the black warhorses were a rare sight.
Although the Cheetah was not as good as the black warhorse, there were quite a Senior Centurions around and 20,000 Glory was well within reach for them. It was much easier to obtain than the black warhorse.
“Sorry sir, I would like to get a gem,” Lu Li said. He was too lazy to have a drawn-out conversation with this NPC.
Captain Captopril couldn’t give out any quests, so even if a player invested in talking to him, they would have nothing to show for it. To make matters worse, his dialog options often gave players a sense of false hope.
“Really…” the bald Captopril sighed, “let me tell you…”
“Uncle, please hurry!” Lu Li interrupted him helplessly.
“Young people these days…” the uncle muttered as he shook his head, opened the jewel bag and let Lu Li reach into it. “Don’t take more than you should; Captopril’s eyes are very keen…”
“Uh, Uncle, can I go and wash my hands first?”
Upon seeing that this was the way he would get the item, Lu Li was suddenly inspired.
“Haha, all it takes is one look and I already know what you’re up to. Do you want to buy a ring that will help you get more items? Hahahahaha….” Captopril laughed and looked at Lu Li like he was an idiot.
Lu Li almost swore at this old man.
Anyone else would have gone red with embarrassment, buut Lu Li had thick skin and shook his head like nothing had happened.
“Uncle, you misunderstand me, but since you’ve brought it up, I’ll go without it and just accept my fate.”
Quartermaster Captain Captopril just sneered at him.
After getting the gem and deducting his Glory, Lu Li turned and left without saying a word. If he had time, he was going to start a thread complaining about this old guy.
He later took out the gem and looked at its properties.
It reduced Level Requirement by 5% and would only reduce a level 55 item to level 53, which wasn’t good enough. He was still only at level 50.
Even if he used the -7% gem that the Boss dropped, he would still have to wait till level 52. However, Lu Li simply couldn’t wait, so he just continued to farm more Glory.
He refused to believe that his luck would be so bad the next time.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t get anyone else to do this for him – otherwise, he would have employed Hachi Chan’s services. That little girl would finish two matches in the arena before becoming exhausted.
After arriving back at the arena, Lu Li took a deep breath and got back into the rhythm of fighting players.
At this time, there was another expert who was also farming for Glory in the arena.
Glory Capital’s number 1 Thief, Blood Dagger, was already level 48. He was carrying an Epic level 50 dagger that he couldn’t wait for, so he was planning to use a Level Reducing Gem on it.
Unfortunately, there were no such gems in his guild, and none of his friends in could find them in the market. As such, he had taken up the same strategy as Lu Li.
However, his technique was still not as good as Lu Li’s. Lu Li was always efficient in his actions, no matter how boring and exhausting it was. After Blood Dagger had fought a hundred newbies, things were starting to become intolerable for him. All these players were just objects to him, and he was gradually becoming desensitized.
