The Great Thief
chapter-1356

“He’s gone Berserk! That’s good – keep it up,” Lu Li said, starting to become excited.

It wasn’t that he preferred that the Boss had gone Berserk. Although Lucifron didn’t have particularly strong attacks, he had a chance of killing Azure Sea Breeze when he went Berserk. Even if he didn’t, they could still suffer heavy casualties.

The reason Lu Li was excited was because once Lucifron entered Berserk, he would no longer cast the curse skill or the Doomsday skill.

Instead, there was an Area of Effect skills called Shadow Shock. Its damage wasn’t low and it covered a wide range, but when compared to the curses and Doomsday, it was a much more reasonable skill to deal with.

“Breezy, make sure you maintain aggro. World, get ready. You need to be able to take over at a moment’s notice. Everyone else, don’t worry about anything and just attack with all you’ve got,” Lu Li instructed. He hoped that nothing would go wrong. The most crucial thing here was that the Main Tanks could keep tanking and the Healers could sustain them.

Now that all three Main Tanks were still alive, and the Healers had been supported, if they failed again, they would really lose hope.

Everyone knew this when they got to the final moments, and they were very cautious.

“The flame will dominate the world!”

With this boring line, Lucifron – the monster that had wiped Ruling Sword and Drizzle Court’s joint team nearly 10 times – had finally fallen.

The Boss was very powerful and the solution was team-oriented. The Molten Core would be a classic example of a difficult Instance Dungeon for a few years to come. Lu Li had finally taken down the First Boss. He didn’t know how he did it in his previous life, but his name would be forever remembered in this world.

The thought of being born again was something close to his heart. It was only with these changes that Lu Li could assure himself that he was living in the real world.

“Do you want to Dreamy to take all the gold?” Wandering asked, interrupting Lu Li’s daydream.

It should be said that right from when they had 15 players in a party, they had already implemented the gold confiscation system. That is, the player who looted the equipment would also be the one who picked up all the gold dropped by the Boss and monsters. This person would then give the gold to the head of team. Sometimes, the head of the team would loot it themselves, but since Lu Li was so unlucky, no one wanted to him to loot the body.

“Yeah, let’s take it all,” Lu Li said.

He had been thinking about this problem for some time, and had specifically asked some older people like Cat Dad and Mu Qiu about depriving everyone the fun of collecting their own gold coins.

Here, Mu Qiu’s reasoning made a lot of sense to Lu Li – don’t let them take your kindness for granted.

If you collected all the gold coins together and handed them out for people to repair their equipment, then at the beginning, the players might be grateful for this distribution. However, as they got used to it over time, they would start to take these distributions for granted.

In Lucifron’s case, they had received 2000 gold, so each person could receive a few dozen.

If Lu Li took this gold and gave everyone what they needed to repair their equipment, those players would be grateful. However, those who didn’t receive anything would inevitably feel some grievances, and this would affect the guild’s reputation.

Most importantly, Lu Li had to consider the teams from other guilds.

In some First Clear groups, the gold they received was also filtered down to the elite group. If Lu Li insisted that the gold was to be split among them and the elite groups, then the effect would snowball into an even bigger problem.

Of course, everyone was disappointed when they heard Lu Li announce that.

However, no one here really cared about the dozens of gold coins, as their attention was quickly diverted to the next thing.

“Little lucky girl, please begin your performance!”

“Here is the gold.”

The little girl’s watery eyes were reluctant, but she still gave the gold coins to Lu Li. She decided to wait till she looted some exquisite equipment. Then, she would ask for her red packets.

Lu Li took them straightforwardly; it wasn’t like he was keeping these for himself.

Next time they did an Instance Dungeon where they had died so many times that they needed their equipment to be repaired, he could set his Maintenance Robots out to roam freely. That way, no one would need any money to repair their equipment.

Of course, this would still cost money, but it would be deducted from Lu Li’s wallet.

“Three gems and 22 Strengthening Stones. Wow, there are so many gems, but they aren’t that valuable,” the little Hunter announced. Her standards were now quite high, and even an exquisite gem that gave 15% critical damage wasn’t that powerful in her eyes.

If this gem was inserted into a Magic Staff of a player who didn’t have low critical rate, then the increased damage would be felt immediately.

When they saw this stone, the Magic Professions all yearned for it. The distribution method here was simple.

Lu Li asked them to take out their level 60 weapons and compare their attributes with any gems that were already inserted. If their weapon wasn’t good enough, then it wouldn’t be wise to waste this gem. In the end, it was given to Kitty Likes Meat. The current gem she had was really bad, but she could get it replaced at a Blacksmith.

Of course, when distributing in such a large Instance Dungeon, you had to pay for items in points. This gem wasn’t actually worth much less than equipment.

As for the other two gems, they really as worthless as Remnant Dream said.

“Three Skill Books. Two of them are for fire Mages. Haha, there are no fire Mages here,” Remnant Dream said.

There were two fire Mage skills and one Warlock Skill. The Warlock skill was given to Sesame Rice Ball and the fire Mage skills were left with Lu Li to be given to those in need.

In fact, Lu Li’s method of distribution was different when he was outside.

When an item was dropped in the Wild, the people who needed it would ask for it with a price. Those who really wanted it would then compete for who could pay the most for it.

Here, Lu Li picked based on who needed it the most before considering the number of people who wanted it. The point value of the item was something decided solely by Lu Li. The prices he listed were not that low, so everyone was usually convinced that his prices were fair.

There were a few rare materials, but they were similar to those they had received from previous monsters. These were all given to Lu Li.

These items were the property of Ruling Sword. The three players from Drizzle Court couldn’t participate in this distribution. They could only have items assigned to them if they had special needs and no one on Lu Li’s side had asked for it.

Now, it was time for the most exciting moment.

Dawn was a game where equipment was everything. In the imaginations of the ordinary players, if they acquired the best equipment, they would not be much worse than players like Sorrowless or Lu Li.
