The Great Thief
chapter-1028

However, the difficulty in this Instance Dungeon was quite relative. Compared to Ras Frostwhisper, Illucia Barov was nothing. Ruling Sword quickly discovered the Boss' attack rhythm after two tries and defeated her.

After the eleventh Boss, Lu Li had reached 50% of level 52.

"Glory Capital has finally defeated it."

Square Root 3 brought the news two and a half hours after Lu Li and the others had defeated Ras Frostshisper.

"They're quite lucky; they managed to do it faster than I expected," Lu Li responded.

"It was indeed a stroke of luck. When they beat it, the Boss almost never cast Frost Nova and the positions of the Ice Pucks were quite scattered. They changed their team composition a number of times and still barely beat the Boss," Square Root 3 agreed with Lu Li.

If they went back to Ras Frostwhisper again, Ruling Sword would have a 50% chance of defeating it, but Glory Capital probably wouldn't stand a chance.

"Are they going to rest?' Lu Li asked.

After Ras Frostwhisper, Ruling Sword rested for half an hour before defeating five Bosses in a row.

Before facing the final Boss Dean Martin, Lu Li let everyone rest again. They had rested for a little over half an hour when Square Root 3 sent the message.

"How could they not rest? Their players are almost completely exhausted. I don't think they will even continue today," Square Root 3 said with some sympathy for Glory Capital. They all looked like they were about to collapse, and lacked their usual elegant demeanor.

The most important thing was that all of this had been broadcasted live.

Many viewers who watched them repeatedly typed "give up" into the chat, because they couldn't stand Glory Capital. However, the number of people watching the live broadcast didn't decrease. When Glory Capital finally defeated Ras Frostwhisper, the audience watching the live broadcast had exceeded two million.

After all, this was the earliest broadcast for Scholomance in China and even in the world. It was very important for the guild to have.

Glory Capital wasn't to be underestimated just because they were losing to Ruling Sword. In fact, if they were swapped for any other guild, they would probably do worse. There was nothing wrong with Sorrowless' commanding ability;it just couldn't match Lu Li's with his rebirth advantage.

The final Boss was Darkmaster Gandling. Gandling used to be a Dalaran Mage, but in pursuit of more power, he betrayed the Dalaran to join the Undead Scourge. He was actually quite proud of his Undead body.

Because he shared the same passion as Kel'Thuzad, he was assigned to be the Dean of Scholomance.

However, Kel'Thuzad didn't fully trust his colleague. Later, he sent Ras Frostwhipser to the school to help run it, but was really there to provide supervision. Gandling obviously understood what was happening, but remained willing to do whatever was necessary for the Scourge.

All those who graduated from his teaching travelled to Stratholme, the capital of the Scourge in the Eastern Plaguelands.

The recent defeat in Andorhal made Darkmaster Gandling feel terrible. Students in Scholomance were expected to give their all, and anyone who made the principal unhappy would be sent out of the classroom, either to work in the labs… or to be experimented on.

For the players, Gandling wasn't a difficult Boss as long as their levels weren't too low.

However, this was a difficult premise to meet as the highest-level players were still three levels lower than Gandling. If there was more than a three-level difference in Dawn, a debuff would be applied.

Fortunately, the Darkmaster could still be dealt with a strategy.

Ras Frostwhisper required players to have absolute strength and combat awareness, but Gandling was different. As long as they knew his abilities and the corresponding strategies, he was a much easier Boss than Ras Frostwhisper.

"Lu Li, they want to buy a strategy again," Square Root 3 sent a message.

"It's not going well for us either," Lu Li laughed.

"Don't pretend – it would be weird if things really were not going well for you. Just tell me what it would cost them this time."

Square Root 3 didn't believe that Lu Li would refuse, especially since Ruling Sword was so close to

winning anyway.

"Of course, the more expensive you can sell it for, the better", Lu Li said.

"Are you not afraid of their revenge later?" Square Root 3 was a bit worried. It was good that Lu Li was ambitious, but this was a matter of whether he was biting off more than he could chew.

"They're obviously willing to pay for whatever they're asking for. Anyway, I think they are less concerned about the strategy and more concerned with using the transaction to get into contact with one of us." Lu Li had seen tricks like this before.

The ordinary players who couldn't imagine any other way to climb to the top had all seen tactics like this being attempted.

"Who do you think it'll be?" Square Root 3 wasn't smiling anymore.

"Xiaorou or Jaweika. If it was me, I would go for Xiaorou," Lu Li said while clearing out the mobs. The team didn't really need his instructions for the time being.

"What would they use to win him over? Money?" Square Root 3 didn't think that that would work. Her Tears obviously wasn't the kind of person who would sell himself for money.

"Opportunity – the opportunity to take center stage," Lu Li answered with certainty.

According to normal players, all players who liked PVP yearned the spotlight and looked forward to becoming stars one day. Since Her Tears was a player who liked PVP, everyone would naturally assume the same for him.

But in fact…

"Don't worry about it; he's not interested at all. This guy prefers to fight freely rather than be limited by the various rules and regulations of the arena." Square Root 3 immediately assured.

"It all depends on you. At least let them believe that Xiao Rou is dissatisfied with us. You and Xiao Rou can discuss it, and then all you have to do is wait for them to take the bait," Lu Li said.

"This is pretty grim. We're resorting such lows just to take someone's money." Square Root 3 felt a little sympathetic for their opponents.

"Oh yeah, don't sell the strategies for all five Bosses at once," Lu Li quickly realized. If he didn't guess wrong, they probably thought that they would sell the strategies for all five Bosses as a package.

"Why not?" Square Root 3 didn't understand.

"If you tell Glory Capital that we're on the last Boss, do you think they'll buy our strategies?" Lu Li was speechless. Square Root 3 was usually savvier than this; how could he get confused by something like

this?

If they knew that Ruling Sword was down to the last Boss and there was no way for Glory Capital to keep up, then they would buy their strategies.

Square Root 3 was a smart man, and quickly understood the point that Lu Li was making.

He quickly handled this matter and, in a few days, Lu Li had more than two million dollars in his account.
