Water Fairy was overjoyed with her first win on Survival and Escape .
"Oh, there are so many people . "
Lu Li was on edge . When it came to Survival and Escape, Lu Li was definitely not content with coming second . He felt as if he were a boss, one hit away from death .
"The aphorism is true – that when a man and woman duo together, no task is burdensome," Unforgettable Maple asserted with a hint of jealousy .
"This game is actually pretty fun," Lu Li decided in a sincere manner .
"I don't want to live anymore," Hornet's Nest despaired . Everyone was human, so it didn't make sense that there was such a significant difference in talent between Lu Li and him .
If it was Dawn, then he would be prepared to challenge Lu Li . However, when it came to Survival and Escape, there was no chance of competing . He was already eating chicken by his second game and it wasn't because of luck . He had successfully killed 13 players, and regardless of their skill level, they had to admit that Lu Li's shooting abilities were remarkable .

Lu Li and Water Fairy rejected the requests made by many others who also wanted to queue up with them .
For this game, they could queue up alone, in twos, in threes, in fours … and so on . Even though they believed in the saying, the more the merrier, Lu Li and Water Fairy were not the kind of people who desired crowded environments . It was rare for them to find an opportunity for them to be alone . A new round was beginning, so Water Fairy closed the live stream and continued to just play with Lu Li .
A new day had arrived, and Onyxia's Lair was being run . Lu Li had gamed for longer than he anticipated yesterday, so he came online at a slightly later time than usual today . Wandering gathered everyone and they all sat by the entrance of the Dungeon .
"Why hasn't Lu Li arrived yet?" Azure Sea Breeze asked while stroking Remnant Dream's pet out of boredom . The pet was mildly annoyed but it's face showed a sense of resignation .
"Yesterday, Lu Li and Water Fairy played Survival and Escape together," Moonlight said softly .
"There were still people willing to go play the game of Foggy Grass, how miserable," Azure Sea Breeze mocked . He reflected back on the time he entered that game and laughed at the memory of Lu Li's suffering .
"No, it actually wasn't . They managed to land a few kills and it seems that they ate chicken twice . "

Moonlight had also played Survival and Escape yesterday . Additionally, he was in Unforgettable Maple's squad . It was only yesterday that he, Unforgettable Maple, Innocent Child, and Hornet's Nest, all queued up together a few times . He was familiar with the details .
"Have you carried him yet?" Azure Sea Breeze thought that Moonlight had queued with Lu Li . Moonlight often ranked in the top three . He was also infamously called the King of Cars and had a shooting accuracy rate that was above average . Carrying random players for some chicken dinner was common and easy for him .
"No, I don't want to be fed dog food," Moonlight said as he shook his head . He admired not only Lu Li's capacity to win only on his second attempt, but also his ability to kill ten or so players each time . He did not think Lu Li needed his help to win . Of course, if he queued up with him, Lu Li would be eating chicken dinners more consistently .
Unforgettable Maple's squad had carried Hornet's Nest to victory; they played seven games and managed to bring home a chicken dinner five times . The players each earned two sets of Level 60 Dark Gold Armor for carrying Hornet's Nest .
This actually belonged to the class of prices known as "friendship prices" . If it was someone they knew, you would definitely have to bring legendary equipment from Dawn . Dark Gold Armor would be necessary . However, five sets of chicken dinner for six sets of Dark Gold Armour was not profitable . It was difficult to get equipment . Unforgetful Maple, Moonlight, Innocent child – the trio – decided to go find targets in the Dawn's wilderness to easily obtain more Dark Gold Armor .
Lu Li and Water Fairy went online at the same exact time . Lu Li swore that this was just coincidence . However, everyone else thought otherwise – they were clearly in love with each other but were just in denial .

Both Lu Li and Water Fairy felt embarrassed . Water Fairy gave Lu Li a quick, angry stare . She wondered why Lu Li started playing half an hour later than usual .
"Did you have a good time gaming yesterday?" Wandering cheekily poked . He subtly messaged Lu Li to take it easy with Water Fairy since the Club needed him .
It was unfortunate that Lu Li was not emotionally intelligent enough to receive the message . He replied matter of factly, "The game was actually pretty fun . It's just that some layouts seemed imbalanced, and my luck with the bombing area was outrageous . "
He had encountered five explosion zones yesterday and had been hit twice . He learned later on to either run away as soon as he saw explosion zones, or to enter a house . However, a house was not necessarily always a safe haven . There was one time he had entered a house, and just as he closed the door, a bomb exploded at the entrance which resulted in his death .
Lu Li was always able to discover others before they discovered him . As long as he discovered the other party first, he would quickly rush in to assassinate them . Water Fairy rarely had the chance to save Lu Li within the game .
The Clearing Contest for the day had begun after small talk was briefly exchanged . Lu Li had become more serious . Even though everyone was talking, no one dared to make fun of Lu Li . The difficulty of Onyxia was much higher than winning around of Survival and Escape . After all, you could carry yourself in Survival and Escape, whereas in Dawn, Instance Dungeons required group cooperation to succeed .
They had already spent two weeks clearing out Onyxia's Lair . Everyone was familiar with every single one of the Boss's battle techniques . The question was how they would enter the last stage with enough members of the team still alive . Although Ruling Sword could consistently make it to the later stages of the dungeon, there was a problem – by then, most of the team would be dead . In fact, Lu Li already thought that his team was already reducing too rapidly before reaching the later stages .
After swapping in two Druids, they had a chance of continuing their battle . A Warlock's Revival Stone could be used on a Main Tank and they had also found two Darkmoon Cards . Lu Li would be prepared to use them as long as there was a significant chance of succeeding .
They would be able to eliminate the Boss if, by the Boss's berserk stage, they still had enough Main Tanks and healing capacity . Other guilds were essentially in the same situation .
Ruling Sword's advantage was already heavily reduced . After all, the game was not created by Lu Li's family . The knowledge Lu Li possessed was gradually being deciphered by other Clubs . The only difference was that they had to pay a higher price for it . Lu Li's advantage was rebirth . As for the other clubs, their advantage was that they were extremely wealthy . Glory Capital could, in one go, pull out ten First Clearing Teams . They had managed to spend 30 times more than Ruling Sword on their First Clearing Team . Their wealth proved an exceptional advantage when it came to the purchase of rare and expensive potions . The price of these exceeded what an average person could earn over weeks, or even months .
A successful economist once said, "When one reaches an elite level, economic profit is not the only thing that is considered . When one corporation buys a failing company, it is true that it is at a loss – it will never be able to make back the money spent through profits . However, whilst such a transaction appears as a significant loss, it is in fact an opportunistic gain . This is because one has to consider the pressure that would otherwise occur if one's opponents got their hands on that exact company . "
Regardless of who was clearing the field, regardless of how many items they could win after eliminating the Boss, the net result was that they would lose money . However, they were willing to do so in order to deny their main competition .
It was another unproductive morning; the last few attempts were even worse than their initial attempts . Lu Li was forced to declare a one-hour rest . He felt frustrated but had nowhere to vent his frustrations . He therefore decided to join three others – Water Fairy, Star Baby, and Moonlight – for a few games of Survival and Escape .
Although Water Fairy and Star Baby were below average players, Moonlight and Lu Li were skilled . As such, they all managed to claim victory .
Lu Li killed over ten people that game and after doing so, he became distinctively more relaxed . His mood had improved to the point that he had begun joking with others and his fighting success improved significantly afterwards . It seemed that coming first in a game of Survival and Escape had a direct impact on his mental state .
