The Great Thief
chapter-1105

Barman Shanker was the easiest Legendary weapon to obtain before level 60, despite the drop rate being low and the dungeon run needing to be on Nightmare mode. For most players, even a low drop rate still gave them hope.

In the future, it was possible to see many wielding the Barman Shanker.

The appearance of the dagger was like a broken beer bottle, the kind that people used to fight in bars. However, while it looked plain, it was made with Black Iron and Mithril. The broken edges were sharp and the damage it dealt was so high that even the best healers found it troublesome to deal with.

One of the special effects provided a chance to reduce received healing by half, along with other special effects like bleeding and poison.

Lu Li had the Felstriker and also planned to upgrade Shard of the Defiler, so he wasn't short on weapons. However, he didn't mind rolling it for his guild members.

"What alcohol is this? It tastes horrible; let's go."

Hornet's Nest, who was in charge of acting, smashed the wine cup on the floor and left angrily. It seemed like he wasn't planning to pay up.

No matter how kind Plugger was, he couldn't simply watch on.

Someone had insulted his alcohol, broke his glass and wasn't going to pay. As such, Plugger chased after him, but was met with Azure Sea Breeze shamelessly slamming his shield into him from above and was nearly buried into the ground. The difference in height between Dark Elves and Gnomes made Azure Sea Breeze feel much more confident about himself.

"Be careful Breezy," Lu Li warned.

"Don't worry, his attack speed is so slow. He must be a joke," Azure Sea Breeze dismissed. He had never such a small Boss in a long time.

Some said that you couldn't be too full of yourself, because bad karma was right around the corner. Even before Azure Sea Breeze could stop laughing, the angry little Warlock Gnome had banished him. Banish was a skill that rendered the enemy target unable to move, but unable take damage either. The effect lasted for 15 seconds.

It wasn't an issue to Banish anyone else, but it was problematic for Azure Sea Breeze.

"Badge. Don't let the Boss attack others," Lu Li instructed. He wasn't concerned about the future; he was worried more about now.

To be honest, it was rare for Bosses to banish the main tank straight away. All that could be said was that Azure Sea Breeze was too good at pulling aggression onto himself.

Azure Sea Breeze was very obedient; he did exactly as he was told. He used his Badge without the slightest hesitation and instantly pulled back the Boss. From then onwards, Banish was used often, but not on the main tank.

In phase two, Plugger began to use his Warlock area of effect spells, while in phase three, he casted Demon Armor himself. This ability boosted the Armor of the caster and also increased their health regeneration speed. However, this was far from the end of it all – he also began to use Curse of Tongues.

Curse of Tongues: forces nearby enemies to speak in the Demonic language, reducing their casting speed by 50% for 15 sec.

This was a nightmare for magic classes and hence, the main damage output for this fight came from the melee players.

Some teams chose to have less melee players for the sake of the fire elementals beforehand. This would be the time when they had to switch out members from the outside team.

Lu Li had no issues with their melee players – both him and Water Fairy were powerful sources of damage. There was also Elevenless and Old Man Power, along with Green Flag Wine and Sea Breaker to some degree.

In the end, the Boss went Berserk. The berserk mode of a Magic class couldn't be underestimated – even with the little health that he had, he still took a few players down with him. However, the ones who ultimately won were the players, because they had the number advantage and could use items.

Just like how the Hollywood movies depicted it, the police always arrived late to the event.

Phalanx, who was hired by Plugger to protect the bar, came late.

He was usually very useful, because the bar always had issues every day. Phalanx was a Golem bodyguard, responsible for maintaining the order in the bar and evicting guests by force.

"What do?" Everyone looked at Lu Li.

They hadn't even looted the body yet or had the chance to regenerate their health and mana.

"Regenerate on the spot," Lu Li said as he sat down and began to eat his bread.

The others did the same, ignoring the War Golem that kept rambling on.

Fortunately, it really did speak a lot. If it had engaged the moment it appeared, Lu Li and the others would have been in trouble. However, they managed to recover most of their health and mana.

The Boss had high Attack and Defense Attributes, but it barely had any skills.

Lu Li and the others had the strongest tank in Dawn, so these types of Bosses were the least of their concerns. They just had to be wary of the Boss' chained Fireball.

Upon entering phase two, Phalanx would choose a random player and cast a chain of ten Fireballs in total. The player would have to try their best to survive, but at the very worst, they would miss out on the Experience.

As long as they didn't lose too many damage dealers, Lu Li was confident that they could finish off this Boss.

The last ones standing were still the players, but they had lost three members this time. Wendelian began looting the two Bosses after everyone had been resurrected. Everyone else sat on the floor and ate bread pre-emptively, in case another Boss unexpectedly showed up.

"Legendary dagger!" Wendelian shouted. Lu Li knew that the Barman Shanker had dropped. He and Water Fairy exchanged glances and they both smiled.

"That's enough you two; stop showing off your relationship. Are you two going to sort this out by yourselves or roll numbers like usual?" Unforgettable Maple was impatient about these situations; he felt sorry for himself.

"This is too low. Should we let her reroll?" Wendelian asked.

Water Fairy had rolled 42 points and seemed to be surprised by the low number. Her expression must have been priceless, but unfortunately, it was hidden behind a mask.

Lu Li laughed and rolled too.

9 points!

Everyone was stunned for a moment before they all began to laugh.

"You guys need to rename your guild. Instead of Ruling Sword, it should be name Black Hand Team. You're the team leader; no one can fight over the position with you."

They had finally found something that Lu Li wasn't great at, so this was their chance to crack some jokes.

After the Barman Shanker, a precious recipe dropped – Goblin Jumper Cables.

Even those who didn't practice Engineering knew of its value. Of course, they all wanted to roll for the recipe together, but after Lu Li showed everyone his Engineering level, the other distribution rule in the game took effect.

Needs come first!

He wasn't just a fake Engineer – he was a real Artisan Engineer.

The others probably tried out some trading skills for fun, but none of them had even reached Journeyman Engineering, so it wasn't a proper proof for needing this recipe.

Hence, the recipe fell into Lu Li's pocket.

Then, Lu Li saw Water Fairy smiling at him, to which he replied with a blinking expression. Some things were better off unspoken.
