Chapter 1653: 1653
“What good stuff did you give him?” Wandering was very calm and certain .
Unforgettable Maple was a crafty old scoundrel, with no moral principles . As long as you gave him enough, he would even be fine with running a lap around Stormwind City stark naked . If you didn’t give him enough, it was basically impossible to get him to speak for Ruling Sword .
Previously, he had introduced Innocent Child to Ruling Sword . That was because Innocent Child’s definite target was Ruling Sword . He couldn’t change Innocent Child’s own decision .
It was just a little favour .
“Not much, just an Instance Dungeon walkthrough . We only have to defeat a Boss here . Then, we’ll give the walkthrough to him straight away,” Lu Li said indifferently .
“You’re really giving it to him?” Sky Moon questioned .
“Yeah, why not? If it was Glory Capital or Blood Red Flag, I’d be a little worried, but Majin Temple’s just at a beginner level . It’s simply not worth worrying about,” Lu Li said without even a hint of worry .
“I’m just afraid that he’ll go and sell it,” Wandering reminded Lu Li .
“He won’t; I get Maple sis . Even though he knows Majin Temple can’t get the First Clear, he wouldn’t happily give away the walkthrough, and even if they got the walkthrough, who can guarantee that they would definitely have the chance to get the First Clear? Don’t forget that the walkthrough will be developed by us, after we finish the battle,” Lu Li said .
Under the same circumstances, if they were facing the same unknown Boss, he believed that it would be the same for anyone else .
However, he wasn’t facing an unknown Boss . He was reborn, so he knew something about this Instance Dungeon .
Now he had Unforgettable Maple’s voice in wartime .
There were definitely less players who ran away . After all, this guy had a sharp tongue, directly calling them cowards and turtles . As long as someone had a little self-respect, they wouldn’t run away immediately after hearing him speak .

Of course, there was no lack of inattentive, heartless people saying that he was just spewing nonsense .
Generally speaking, the players had an advantage on the field . Lu Li had already spread the word about the setup of having to fight two types of Elite monsters, and he also told everyone that the Anubisaths and Obsidian Destroyers dropped equipment
Not long after, there were two people loudly calling out that they had found Epic equipment .
The first person was the minstrel Big Dog Li . His loud voice attracted a lot of attention from those all around him, and before he entered Ruling Sword, he was more or less considered one of the best amateur players, so a lot of people believed him .
There was even Epic equipment! Everyone suddenly felt motivated .
However, there were a few people who had their doubts . They thought that they were the clever ones and that Ruling Sword was just putting on a show so that more people would help them defeat the monsters .
“Here, have a look . Poverty has limited your imagination . It’s Epic equipment! What’s the point of faking it?”
Big Dog Li immediately broadcast the equipment on the local video stream so the players could see the quality of it for themselves .
However, there were still some people who didn’t believe .
“Did Big Dog really get it himself?” Azure Sea Breeze asked Wandering in a low voice .
“Lu Li just said that Epic equipment would be dropped, and he picked up some Epic equipment . Do you think he’s dreaming? This guy’s not a minstrel; he’s an actor,” Wandering said .
Since it turned out that he was an actor, he even made those in Ruling Sword think that he had picked up some Epic equipment .
Most players preferred to believe him . That way, they would have hope themselves .
Not long after Big Dog said he had found Epic equipment, another ordinary player announced that he had found some as well . He was extremely excited, at least a hundred times more excited than Big Dog Li .

After all, for ordinary players, finding Epic equipment was even more shocking .
Unfortunately, his luck soon ran out . The two small teams next to him focused on him and instantly killed him . Before he knew it, the equipment he had was snatched away .
“Damn, it’s a piece of Steel equipment!”
Actually, the player had too much equipment on himself . He had a whole heap in his backpack that looked like it was in danger of bursting out .
The teammates of the guy who was just killed were a little skeptical, but in the end, they didn’t do anything .
In this world, there were some friends who weren’t afraid of making major sacrifices . It was just that they didn’t exist in this particular friendship .
However, no one doubted the news about the Epic equipment anymore .
After this, there were often many shouts from people saying that they had gotten Epic equipment . Some were real and some were fake, and some said so just for the attention .
After Wandering received the revelation about the minstrel Big Dog Li, he sent some people to go around to spread the fake rumor about the Epic equipment . The most perfect lie was 30% true and 70% false . It was true that there really was a piece of Epic equipment, but it was just that no one had heard of how poor quality it was .
With Epic equipment as the bait, the number of players in Silithus actually increased .
The rumors spreading outside became more and more outrageous .
Some said that there was Legendary equipment, which was clearly too exaggerated .
Others reasoned that Elite monsters had to drop Epic equipment, which was unequivocally incorrect .
However, no matter what was dropped, everyone knew that Silithus was filled with monsters dropping equipment . They just needed to take part and they would be raking it in .
Everyone who joined in was there for the money .
The situation was much better than what Lu Li imagined .
He remembered in his last life, this battle had taken him nine hours .
Although everyone played the game for over nine hours a day, there were breaks between those intense periods . Even if you went into an Instance Dungeon, there was still time to rest when your team died .
However, no one had any time to rest today . If there was any at all, then it was just a brief moment when you went out to replenish mana or repair equipment .
If they knew how long the monsters attacked for, then all the major clubs wouldn’t have joined this battle . They underestimated the power of these monsters and thought that Ruling Sword would be able to deal with them by themselves, let alone with the help of the ordinary players .
By the time more than six hours had passed, they realized things weren’t going to their liking .
However, leaving now was too provocative, especially as this damn Unforgettable Maple continued to pop up every now and then . He seemed to be addicted to whatever he was doing .
Anyway, it had already been more than six hours, so it would probably end sooner or later .
7 hours…
By this point, the ordinary players were too tired to continue, a lot of people had already died multiple times, and not all that many pieces of equipment had been dropped .
However, the profit was still huge, all the same .
After the fact, some people said that those players who participated in this opening battle wouldn’t be worried about their Reputation for a long time .
