Chapter 1628: Half-Life Crystal

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Ahn’Qiraj had always been there. It had been there since before the patch. There were even monsters around there. It was just that players couldn’t go into it.

So, there must be a starting quest.

Ahn’Qirah’s starting quest was the first big quest in Dawn where only a large-scale team could accomplish.

It was different from other Instance Dungeons. When the patch came on line, Ahn’Qirah didn’t open its doors to players easily. Instead, it required many players to work together to open it.

Only a certain group of players could get this quest.

Even though individual players complained, the developers had already made their decision. Was there any other choice for the players other than to accept?

In fact, majority of quests were single player or small team quests. There was nothing wrong for the system to occasionally set up a group quest. The game was more interesting with diversity. A lot of individual players could actually group together and form a team. It didn’t matter if it was a guild or mercenary group. There were tens of thousands of guilds and clubs in Dawn by the time the requirements of a group quest was released.

Even though this incident did cause many teams to suffer damages, every veteran player who partic.i.p.ated would look back on this fondly.

The quest of Ahn’Qiraj was split into two parts. The first part was the delivery of various materials to teams as a unit. The amount need to be delivered was rather astounding.

But every exchange of material was rewarded with a badge, as well as rewards of different equipment. On top of this was also the enhancement of each main city’s prestige of the Cenarion Circle.

Only after the quest has been completed can they enter the area around the Instance Dungeon. There were many elite monsters that had pretty good drop; they were the best of the best no matter for training or for looting equipment. So, a lot of people hoped to get ahead by gaining access to this region first. For clubs and guilds, they just want to jump in earlier in hopes of getting a First Clear.

The clubs who had the ability to get the First Clear were even more desperate in gathering materials. Even if everyone knew that they couldn’t beat Glory Capital, who had a big business and collected materials quickly, everyone wasn’t going to admit defeat so easily.

Once the quest mode came out, everyone’s eyes immediately fell on Ruling Sword.

It had always been Ruling Sword who got the First Clears of Instance Dungeons. Everyone thought they would perform a miracle and do it again since it was a standard occurrence now, however the requirements for entry was different this time. This time it felt like the developers purposely made it hard for Ruling Sword.

Any other large-scale club, let alone a ma.s.sive club like Glory Capital, had the confidence in surpa.s.sing Ruling Sword when it came to collecting materials.

Poor b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! Now they’ll know how it feels to be left behind.

Was Lu Li scared? He didn’t even know himself. He was busy discussing important matters with the leaders of the Life Profession Alliance. Half-Life Crystal!

When Lu Li first met this little dwarf, she and a few life professional friends were being chased by a player. Lu Li received a reward from the Hunter, so he indirectly saved Half-Life Crystal and the others.

Half-Life Crystal was scared of being bullied again and asked Lu Li to protect them.

Of course, Lu Li had no time to be the nanny of a life professional, so he naturally declined her offer. However, he did agree that as long as they had a bounty for killing someone, he would help them. As long as they put down a price, even if it meant destroying a whole guild, he would help them.

During this period of time, Lu Li did fulfil his promise.

There was a specialist team that was in charge of this in Ruling Sword. The very violent guilds that had been targeted by them were now suppressed in various ways. Many players who knew that they would be hunted down by Ruling Sword if they stayed in these guilds now no longer had people joining. All the people within these guilds had withdrawn and they were basically destroyed in name and activities.

Under the inspiration of Lu Li, Half-life Crystal started establis.h.i.+ng the by gathering these players.

Now this organisation had over 300,000 players, which was more than the total number of members in Lu Li’s Ruling Sword. If you didn’t consider fighting abilities, it was comparable to a large-scale club or guild.

In addition to using force to protect the alliance, Lu Li also provided them with some Instance Dungeons or raw materials from fighting monsters; He would also buy the goods they made.

His former three landlord ladies, as representatives of Ruling Sword, entered into the leaders.h.i.+p of Life Professional Alliance to ensure the organisation wouldn’t abruptly abandon Ruling Sword one day. Now this organisation’s leaders.h.i.+p model was that Half-Life Crystal was the leader of the alliance and made all major decisions. There were five chief executives below her. All three landlord ladies were chief executives.

“Recent developments have been pretty smooth hey?” Lu Li asked as he had tea handed over to him.

“Very smooth. Not many people would put much focus on a group of Life Professional players. The large-scale clubs all have their own. I just wanted to make money and expand, while they were busy trying to take over the world,” Half-Life Crystal was still that little dwarf with a pet.i.te figure but had long lost the youth and timidity. Calm. Powerful!

Even Lu Li had to look straight at the Life Professional who had once been easily chased by an ordinary player.

She had over 300,000 people under her hands, as well as a special guard squad.

What was more frightening was her amazing financial resources. You could even say, she had started later than Lu Li but acc.u.mulated far more wealth than Lu Li.

“When would the things I want be ready?” Lu Li handed over a detailed list to her.

“These are all common things, no need for special preparation. I’ll ask someone to send it over to you in a bit,” Half-Life Crystal glanced through it and replied calmly. She was well-informed and knew what was needed for the Ahn’Qiraj starting quest.

She also knew that Lu Li would need these materials, so she had already confirmed the inventory early on.

“Thanks, I’ll let my guys send you the money later. Price-wise let’s increase by 20% according to the current market price,” Lu Li want to act as if he was loaded. These materials were about to face a trend of rampant growth because of the surging demand.

“No need. I don’t want money,” Half-Life Crystal shook her head.

“Hmmm so what do you want?” he saw his counterpart staring at him which made Lu Li suddenly start to sweat.

Or maybe it was because he had saved her out of nowhere that day when she was in crisis, so this chick had some sort of feelings of admiration. And as her thoughts became deeper, Lu Li was worried she might suddenly have some sort of crazy demand.

“What? You have a strange expression,” Half-Life Crystal nearly laughed at his face, “Don’t worry, I don’t have the courage to face Water Fairy Sis. I want a stronghold.”

“Stronghold?” Lu Li’s eyes widened.
