Chapter 1687: 1687
Lu Li would never become that kind of person .
However, this didn’t prevent him from admiring such a person . If the opportunity arose, and it wouldn’t affect him too greatly, he wouldn’t helping that person out .
What else could this Mage possibly do anyway?
“Looks like you won’t be able to do this . You must be quite capable, and you must not forget that we outnumber you,” the leader had no choice but to say . After all, he couldn’t kneel before Lu Li to beg for mercy .
Instead, he threatened Lu Li and messaged his accomplices at the same time .
These players had taken over the Scarlet Monastery, and obviously didn’t only have a few Mages . There were quite a few others, but they were either in Instance Dungeons or oppressing other weak players .
As a result, Lu Li soon found that he was being surrounded by players sneaking around . He immediately knew that he needed to do something .
Yet, the people surrounding Lu Li were acting overconfidently .
His opponent’s plan was to keep stalling Lu Li, but Lu Li saw through that . He immediately vanished and reappeared behind his opponent before casting Cheap Shot, Backstab and Backhand Backstab . He managed to defeat his opponent with one rotation of skills .
This player might have been the brains of the group, but his strength was just average .
From start to finish, he didn’t survive Lu Li’s attacks for longer than half a second . When he saw Lu Li previously, he saw that he managed to kill two players quite quickly . He thought that Lu Li was powerful, but he still underestimated the extent of Lu Li’s strength . Now that he had experienced it himself, he came to understand what it meant to feel completely helpless .
Originally, he had thought that it would be easier after finding some people to help him .
But now, he was suddenly unsure .
Taking out the leader first made sense . Without him, the rest felt agitated and began their counterattack .
The blue-robed Mage Soulhun who was nice to everyone had regenerated almost all of his HP while the boss and Lu Li were talking .
However, this was when the action began .
Lu Li found that this Mages’ technique was above average, albeit a little unrefined . It seemed like he had just started playing recently, but how did he get to level 60 and acquire such a good set of equipment?

“Let me into the Instance Dungeon group!” Lu Li shouted as he picked up the equipment that the Mage dropped after killing him .
There were more and more people gathering outside . He still had a few more Mages to get through and was almost stopped by their crowd control . Lu Li felt like he was being bitten to death by ants .
However, once he entered the Instance Dungeon, they wouldn’t able to reach him anymore .
Under normal circumstances, an Instance Dungeon could be split into a number of different Instances . The people within the same Instance Dungeon had to be in the same team .
There were five people in this team – the party leader, Lu Li and three other normal players .
“What should we do?” Soulhun asked .
“You tell me . ”
Lu Li didn’t really mind . If he wanted to, he could take over and just call thousands of players over to clear out the Scarlet Monastery .
Fortunately, Lu Li wasn’t someone looking for fame . He felt that it wasn’t necessary for him to deal with these insignificant players .
“Their boss has been revived . We can rush over and lead them away so you can leave,” someone in the team suddenly spoke up . It was one of the three players that the blue-robed Mage had brought in .
“No, you guys can go first . Let’s avoid attracting attention . Tomorrow, I will take you to farm monsters in the wild . Then, we can go to Zul’Farrak,” the blue-robed Mage interjected, stopping them from taking that risk .
“Excuse me,” Lu Li interrupted them . “Are you two from the Beijing Film Academy or the Central Drama Academy? Are you guys practicing your acting?”
Soulhun: …
The three players: …
“Ahem, do you have any other suggestions? We aren’t from a film school, but we do have loyalty and are willing to die together…” one of the players responded .
“Okay, alright, just tell me where the leader is,” Lu Li said .
“At the pillar on the left side of the Instance Dungeon door . Let me ask again . Do you want me to sneak ahead? I am a Thief and they haven’t noticed me yet . ”
A Thief’s Stealth was affected by a number of factors .
Common sense would dictate that a level 30 player had no chance of being hidden from level 60 players . However, since the two sides were far enough and there were obstacles in the way, he had not yet been found .

“Stop bluffing . You’re just looking for a place to hide,” Lu Li said, seeing right through these people’s plans .
He recalled the terrain of the Instance Dungeon door and worked out the location of the Thief . He then stepped out of the Instance Dungeon and entered Stealth at the same time .
The moment Lu Li came out of the Instance Dungeon, he was a visible figure, but he moved quickly so no one noticed that he had come out .
Most people didn’t think that he would dare to come out at this time since there were so many people waiting for him .
Lu Li went straight to the pillar that the little Thief was talking about . The leader was currently sitting down and eating some bread to regenerate his HP . When a player was revived in Dawn, they would only revive with a small amount of HP . They had to use food or potions to regenerate the remaining lost HP .
Not to mention, he was also a Mage, so he needed to regenerate his Mana as well .
Lu Li couldn’t be bothered to actually gain the leader’s attention .
He just carefully snuck behind him, flashed his dagger and killed him .
Whether this player was at half HP or full HP made no difference to Lu Li because he was such a weak Mage with so little protection .
Once again, the leader was humiliated as he turned into a corpse .
However, Lu Li had now been discovered and soon experienced a barrage of attacks . There were area of effect skills being flung everywhere . It didn’t matter that Gale Steps provided one second of invulnerability . Even if he had 10 seconds of Invulnerability, it wouldn’t be enough time to run away safely .
Fortunately, Lu Li did not intend to run out of range .
He just needed to escape back into the Instance Dungeon .
Once he was back in the Instance Dungeon, he didn’t need to fear the people outside as it provided him with a natural safe haven .
“Wow, you’re strong,” Soulhun commented in admiration . Although he was a kind old man, even he wanted to get some revenge after being killed by these bullies for no reason .
Lu Li had just helped avenge him .
“So, you must be new to this game . ”
Lu Li took advantage of the fact that the leader was being revived to satisfy his curiosity .
“Yeah, I just started playing this game 10 days ago . I used to play Shadow Realm,” the blue-robed Mage responded as he and Lu Li sat together at the entrance of the Instance Dungeon . There was no point in hiding this kind of information .
“But you managed to reach level 60 in 10 days, and you have a Transmog set?” Lu Li couldn’t believe it .
Was this person like Remnant Dream or Hachi Chan? His luck or Charisma had to be particularly high to have all this equipment on his body .
“Well, I just met a friend when I entered the game . He levelled me all the way to level 60 . I then bought some equipment in the Exchange Hall to assemble a set…”
He was a tycoon!
This man in front of Lu Li who was so helpless was actually someone like Water Fairy . To him, acquiring all that equipment must have been no issue at all .
If he had purchased that Transmog Set, it must have cost at least tens of millions of dollars .
There were even several pieces of Epic equipment that Lu Li recognised .
“Tycoon bro, what kind of business do you do in real life?” Lu Li asked curiously . Other than Water Fairy, Lu Li didn’t really have much contact with rich people .
“I have tried venturing into business in the past, but I have always failed,” the blue-robed Mage said sheepishly .
“Then how did you buy so many pieces of exquisite equipment?” Lu Li questioned .
“After my businesses failed, I had no choice but to listen to my dad and inherit his business,” Soulhun answered sadly .
“Hey…” Lu Li was about to vomit blood .
He felt like he had not been mistaken; this person was a natural drama queen .
