Chapter 1932: Snowball

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

In the end, Moonlight was still unable to defeat Twilight. Mages remained number one in solo PvP, with Berserkers ranked below Hunters.

Thieves were ranked around sixth, close to the bottom.

The main part about Thieves was the difficulty. It required great mechanical skill to use a Thief properly. Besides a small portion of elite players, most Thieves were mediocre and pulled down the win rate.

After Moonlight exited the arena, Lu Li personally entered the battlefield.

Twilight, although a veteran, was still extremely skilled, and would be a formidable opponent even without that much HP.

Stellar Union’s third competitor, Purple Heart Sea, was defeated by Lu Li. In the current update, the Hunters’ Flash Bomb was buffed, and Quivers had their own properties. This meant that Hunters essentially had one more item compared to other players. This was why Hunters jumped to second place in the PvP rankings.

However, although Hunters were strong against Thieves, it still depended on who the Thief was.

The results from the Team Battle were expected. The more notable players were Twilight and Hit Me 72 Times, but since the Team Battle consisted of five players, they weren’t good enough to best Ruling Sword.

After defeating them, Lu Li heard that they were eliminated.

They were eliminated in the Top 32.

Stellar Union were once a Top 10 club who stood toe to toe with Glory Capital, battling for the top spot. Now, they were declining and disappearing into irrelevancy.

If they were lucky, then they would preserve some of their potential players and slowly develop themselves. Perhaps, one day, they would rise again.

If they were unlucky, then they would disappear into the depths of time.

“Monkey is buying everyone dinner tonight. Anyone who goes will have their meals paid for. The venue is Rich Blessings Palace!” As the end of the day approached, Lu Li announced this in the Guild Channel.

“Boss, you can’t do that!” Fat Monkey cried out, his face immediately turning as pale as a ghost.

If these hundred thousand people showed up, he might need to give his life.

The Guild Channel was completely flooded with messages of gratitude. It was the result of a snowball effect.

Once a single person heard about something, it would spread to another person, and then another. In this case, it was buying dinner.

Fat Monkey originally only planned to buy one girl dinner. In the end, countless people showed up to the gathering.

It was frightening.

The result of the snowball effect was simply unimaginable. Fat Monkey would possibly be bankrupt after this.

At night, only a few tables were left in Rich Blessings Palace. The rest were completely booked by Ruling Sword.

A normal company wanting to completely book out Rich Blessings Palace would be a dream.

It wasn’t a money problem. Rather, there were limited seatings and they needed to take care of other customers as well.

However, Ruling Sword was different. After Ruling Sword was established in Jiangnan and because its building was close to the restaurant, Rich Blessings Palace’s business immediately doubled.

All of the elite team players from Ruling Sword were young adults and they didn’t know how to save money either. Moreover, they didn’t need to pay for bills or other utilities. They could give any amount to their parents and their parents would be overjoyed and moved to tears.

Since they had money, they would want to eat good food. Therefore, Rich Blessings Palace virtually became Ruling Sword’s caterers.

As night descended on the city, the people nearby the restaurant saw groups of young people enter Rich Blessings Palace.

In reality, there were only a few hundred people who came. It wasn’t nearly as many as Fat Monkey thought there would be.

After all, everyone had their own lives. Not every member was in Jiangnan either, so they weren’t going to fly over just to eat a meal. Even so, there were a few who did, just to eat food bought by their big brother.

Fat Monkey was a in daze.

How much money would this cost him?

However, he quickly comforted himself. If he was able to buy so many people dinner, didn’t that mean that he was extremely cool and capable?

Not many people would be this generous and this able!

Lu Li brought along Water Fairy and Lu Xin. He was a little late.

It was impossible to estimate how long a lady would take to get ready, but if there were two? That was even more impossible. It wasn’t without a great blessing though. Lu Li got to see Water Fairy with makeup on.

She didn’t usually have makeup on, but now, there was a different aura to her.

“Hi Boss! Hi sister-in-law! Hi little princess!”

The players from the elite teams would greet them if they saw them. Lu Li wasn’t egotistical, so anyone would be able to talk trash to him.

Of course, it was another matter as to whether or not he would retaliate if you pushed him too far.

On the other hand, Water Fairy was how she usually was – calm, elegant, seemingly cold. She was slightly smiling and would respond lightly if people greeted her.

This was her personality. She was able to be completely free and smile widely in front of Lu Li, but no one else had a right to see that side of her.

“Qiqi is also here! How did the chasing of that girl go? Did you get her?” Lu Li’s memory was very good. He seemed like he could remember everyone’s names.

“Sigh, I don’t want to talk about it anymore. She didn’t want me because my income was too low,” the player answered in deep sorrow.

“She’s a girl who only looks at your bank account? You don’t need her! Also, she probably doesn’t know that you are one of the elite team members for us. If all goes well, you’ll be able to be promoted to a small squad leader next month, right?

“Boss, I can be promoted once the results come out at the end of this month! Brother Three says that I’m likely to get it!”

“Hey! That’s quicker than I expected. What did you do?”

“I took a group of players and stole a Wild Boss from Glory Capital. Hehe...”

“Wow! That’s impressive. I can’t even do that.”

“Boss, don’t joke around with me. It was only a small Wild Boss. We were just passing by when they were nearly done with the Boss, so we just killed them and then took the Boss.”

“Nice work!”

They were walking while talking. Although Lu Li was constantly being labelled as a very unlucky

person by the Instance Dungeon team, he was undoubtedly everyone’s leader and was revered and admired by the whole club.

There were a few members of the elite teams who had recently moved to Jiangnan to settle down. After they met Lu Li in real life and talked with him, they were very excited and couldn’t stop talking.

Many tables were laid out in the large hall. This was like a banquet.

Everyone was here.

Lu Li’s place was at the same table as Square Root Three. This was also the same table as the other higher ups in the club.

Remnant Dream was here, and so was Hachi Chan. These two usually went hand-in-hand.

Now, there was also Lu Xin.

There was another girl of a similar age to these three, called Princely Beauty. She was always chasing after Wandering. Since Wandering wasn’t here, she wasn’t either. It was rumoured that they were both in the club building, living in their own world.

The world that they were in consisted of Wandering sleeping in his own dorm, while Princely Beauty was in the living room, watching anime.

She considered this as romantic.
