The Great Thief Chapter 1711 - Lu Li Apologises

Chapter 1711: Lu Li Apologises

The new Instance Dungeon squad was successfully composed. Of course, it wouldn’t just be fighting Ouro, but the other Bosses as well. This meant that the First Clear for the Temple of Ahn’Qiraj would be given to this squad.
The hope of a First Clear wasn’t the only thing that drove people mad. The prospects of skill points and equipment was also another attractive point.
Lu Li couldn’t gain anything out of it, and the way that Sorrowless rallied the people also rendered him unable to do or say anything else. After all, Glory Capital was the initiator and was also the strongest club out of all the Chinese clubs.
The remaining 37 clubs were largely left to be replacements, waiting outside the Instance Dungeon.
The Super First Clear squad was quickly assembled. Lu Li watched on as he salivated. As someone who had been reborn, he was utterly useless here. If he were a stronger player, he would have been the one who formed a team of this calibre.
For example, he would immediately convince Sorrowless to be the team Mage, and then scare the living daylights out of Elevenless and tell him to just fight the monsters.
Water Fairy might as well change her class too. It was weird for females to be playing a Thief anyway, so she could swap to a Priest and just focus on healing. Then, when it came to night-time, they could have some fun…
Sorrowless didn’t have any spare time to understand how Lu Li felt. He already started researching into what would be beneficial in their fight against Ouro.
“There are people who can enchant Nature Resistance in our guild!”
“We’re willing to donate a few Fusion stones for those players who need them.”
“How about Paracelsus’ Elixir? It can recover 3000 HP instantly, but we only have 10 of them. Haha, it’s nothing much. It’s just that we were lucky…”
“We have an Epic item. We’ll send over the properties of the item and you guys can have a look. We’re only a small guild, so this is all that we can lend. I’m not sure if it’s up to your standards.”
At the moment, everyone was trying to show off what they had. They were all afraid that their resources weren’t good enough for the major guilds.
Meanwhile, Lu Li wiped away his tears and swallowed the fire that was blazing in his heart. Frankly, he was angry. While it was true that without Azure Sea Breeze and March Rain, Ruling Sword’s overall strength was reduced, it wasn’t to the level where they were completely stunted.
He planned to start the Instance Dungeon as soon as he got back. What if they managed to clear the Boss quicker than them?
Hehe…
While he was fantasising about his success, Lu Li’s message box rang.
He didn’t know who was calling him. They might not know that Sorrowless was about to take all the glory for Ouro’s First Clear.
“Hehe…”
It was Sky Moon.
“Hehe? Sorrowless is gonna be the one doing all the ‘hehe-ing’ later.”
Lu Li was not in a good mood at all.
“There’s bad news,” he said.
“Hehe. I also have news. Who goes first?”
Sky Moon seemed to be overly excited. He usually wasn’t this hyped and was usually quite reserved as he saw Lu Li as an older brother, so he was often careful with his words around him.
“You go first.”
Lu Li was thinking that the news he had was going to make him cry.
“We passed. Haha! We defeated him! Ouro is dead! Haha!” Sky Moon was laughing at loud at this point. He was like a different person.
“Stop playing around. Do you know what’s happening here?” Lu Li didn’t believe Sky Moon at all.
Lu Li was with 800 other players that he saw in his previous life as veterans and elders of the game who were all far above him. These people were now discussing on forming a Chinese alliance.
And now, Sky Moon was telling him that they had killed Ouro already? If that was so, then there was no need for this.
Therefore, he thought that Sky Moon knew that these hardships would befall Lu Li, so he decided to try and make himfeel better.
“Why don’t you believe me? I’ll take a screenshot for you,” Sky Moon said, then continued. “You’re not the only one in disbelief. Even I myself am in disbelief. I didn’t know what happened, but I just knew that the runs got better and better, until we accidentally killed the Boss.”
“Pft!” Lu Li immediately felt like he had taken 10000 damage.
He was only here for a little over an hour, which meant that there were only one or two tries that Sky Moon and his team could fit in. Unexpectedly, they had actually managed to defeat the Boss in this timeframe.
Didn’t this also mean that Lu Li was ultimately an anchor? They dropped him from the squad and managed to defeat Ouro in such a short time!
The screenshot was clear and verified what Sky Moon reported. Everyone was posing while surrounding Ouro’s corpse.
“Lu Li, why aren’t you saying anything? Does Ruling Sword have nothing to offer to the table?”
Some people were beginning to be frustrated.
Most of the people here were all Lu Li’s seniors in gaming. Some had been playing games for more than a decade, while some had been leading guilds for more than a decade as well. Now, Ruling Sword had emerged and become a new frontrunner, so naturally, everyone was uncomfortable with him to a degree.
“Hm…I think there’s something.”
Lu Li was still in complete shock.
He didn’t want to tell them about what had just happened. The only things that ran through his mind was that firstly, he didn’t need to follow Sorrowless anymore, and secondly, that Sky Moon had actually managed to kill the Boss.
Well, he was planning on nurturing a successor. However, if the successor’s performance was outrageously excellent, then the mentor’s mood would naturally be dampened.
“What do you mean by that? Are you not going to contribute these things then? Defeating Ouro this time isn’t for any particular club’s benefit, but for the benefit of the whole Chinese region. Are you still planning on hiding things?”
The atmosphere immediately quieted down. Everyone was gleefully watching how Lu Li would respond to this.
Of course, Falling Star, an ally of Ruling Sword, wouldn’t be like the rest of them. However, she didn’t know what Lu Li was thinking, so she couldn’t help at all.
“There’s something, and it’s quite good too.”
Lu Li thought about Remnant Dream’s disgusting pet and thought about vomiting.
“Well, are you not going to take it out? Don’t forget, if we really manage to get the First Clear this time, then Ruling Sword wouldn’t be exempted from the benefits. If the First Clear is taken by the other region, are you willing to bear the consequences?”
“Hehe…”
Lu Li suddenly understood.
Sky Moon had just taken the First Clear for Ouro, so he obviously wouldn’t be disappointed. After all, he much rather preferred to see these people who didn’t like him become even angrier at him. As a result, he was now much happier.
“Lu Li, do you have something to say?”
Sorrowless felt that Lu Li’s small chuckle was a little out of place.
“No, I have nothing to say. Actually, I need to apologise to everyone. I’m really sorry, guys. Everyone here is busy, and in an effort to raise up the Chinese region, you dropped everything that you had and came here to discuss this. It was going really well, but something unexpected has happened.” Lu Li said, in a slightly playful tone.
“I gave this naïve kid in my club my commanding rights, and he just went right ahead and killed Ouro! Who would have thought? This stupid boy…We’ve all just wasted our efforts because of him! I’ll punish him when I get back…”
