Chapter 1528: 1528
Many people received skill points . This was like the System gifting everyone a present .

However, Lu Li was not among the receivers; he could only watch on as other people celebrated . Fortunately for him, the System had rewarded him with the recipe to craft a Bloodfang Chestpiece . This was something that he could use . He had only just recently received the Nightslayer Chestpiece, so he didn’t need to upgrade that soon .
The Bloodfang Chestpiece was on a whole different level compared to the Nightslayer Chestpiece . The stats and the special effects were all much better than the Nightslayer Chestpiece . Lu Li could also throw the Nightslayer Chestpiece into the guild storage for others to use after equipping the other Chestpiece . The room for improvement was no longer as much as pre-level 60 equipment, but even the smallest upgrade was still welcome .
Everyone else also received rewards for the First Clear .
Skill points, Rare Materials, Skill Books, equipment – all of these were distributed accordingly . These were the benefits of running Instance Dungeons . These were distributed however they wanted to, but the items that dropped would be the ones that players would compete over .
There was a stone that added Evasion, so Lu Li immediately took it for himself .
This Stone had come at the right time; he had open slots in his new Chestpiece . Although other people ridiculed him for doing so, they knew that it was fair . They had struggled before Lu Li’s intervention, and he managed to clear it after three times .
After the Stones were distributed, the Skill Books were next . Surprisingly, there was a Warrior Enhanced Charge skill book .
Charge was one of the most important skills for Warriors, so naturally, an Enhanced Charge Skill Book would be extremely popular . Everyone’s attention was now on this Skill Book .
Lu Li had a small problem – he wanted to give this to Moonlight, but Moonlight didn’t have many guild points . They couldn’t go overboard with under-the-table manipulation after all .
“Let’s auction it . We can come and clear it once every week anyway . This Skill Book will probably appear frequently,” Lu Li announced, trying to comfort all the excited Warriors present . He wasn’t lying . Bosses of this calibre were truly quite likely for to drop Enhanced skill books . The only thing was that Enhanced Charge was not a guaranteed drop every time .
An intense auction proceeded to break out . The bids did not stay at double digits for long and price rapidly shot up to 200 .
“220 . ”
World’s Best Friend felt rather nervous as this was one of the most important skills for Warriors . Any type of Warrior would be able to use this skill . The bid at 220 should have been the highest – after all, the other Warriors were latecomers compared to him, or they had already received items from before .

World’s Best Friend hadn’t received anything significant thus far . After all, there were two huge obstacles in Azure Sea Breeze and Moonlight in front of him .
As for the other players, they just looked at each other, then helplessly sighed in disappointment .
“Alright, it’s World’s,” Lu Li declared as he proceeded to give the Skill Book to World’s Best Friend . World’s Best Friend had been saving up his guild points for a long time, yet this one book had nearly emptied his wallet .
What Lu Li did not know was that World’s Best Friend did not learn Enhanced Charge, but gave it to Wandering instead . Furthermore, Wandering also gave the skill book to Moonlight . As for why World’s Best Friend agreed to the trade between him and Wandering, no one knew .
Next were the rare materials, of which there were six . Lu Li took a Black Dragon’s Blood, then allowed Drizzle Court and Peerless City to each take two .
As for the rest of the items, the Gold equips were just distributed randomly, while the Dark Gold equips were distributed according to needs . The atmosphere when dealing with these items was amicable, as the excitement from the Enhanced Charge had all but washed over .
However, this amicable atmosphere disappeared the moment Epic items appeared .
It couldn’t be helped . This was the day that everyone looked forward to after toiling in the dungeon for many days . Who in their right mind would not want an exquisite item to make themselves more powerful? Elite squad members who didn’t want powerful items would not be able to last in their position . There would naturally be players that were now stronger than them, despite being behind them before .
Mis’undare, Circlet of the Mind Flayer!
This was an Epic hat . Based on the unique effects, it seemed like it was for Healer Priests . Everyone immediately looked at the two main Priests in the squad – March Rain and Star Baby . However, neither of them seemed interested .
Lu Li suddenly understood their disinterest . This was because they were waiting on getting T2 set equipment instead of wasting their guild points on these .
Set equipment were usually forgeable via recipes . It was quite likely that the crafted item would be exquisite, and much stronger than these individual Epic items . Furthermore, set equipment was something that all Priests wanted, so naturally, the costs would be high as well . They needed to save every last guild point they earned .
Both of them weren’t willing to bid for it, so it would go to one of the other Priests .

Machine Bro thought that he wouldn’t have a chance to receive equipment this time, but he managed to win the item . He immediately equipped it and laughed loudly as he looked at its properties . With these two main Priests here, he never had the opportunity to compete for T2 set equipment . However, he managed to snag this very decent item for less than 100 guild points .
For Priests from other guilds, opportunities to pick up items like these were close to zero .
This was a part of gaming . Some people wanted to be the big fish in a small pond, while some were satisfied being a small fish in a big pond . The key difference here was the pond . Machine Bro’s new item was the only one in the whole of Dawn .
Neltharion’s Tear!
All the magic-based classes were excited upon the appearance of this item .
Lu Li sighed in his heart . With the drop of such an exquisite item, it was unlikely for the even more exquisite Ashkandi: Greatsword of the Brotherhood to drop today . However, there was a positive side to it . He didn’t want to see everyone fight over it .
However, the truth was that he had overthought .
This level 60 accessory had already led to fierce competition over its ownership . These magic-based players were all making trades with each other . Some were amicable exchanges, some were selling favours and others were just downright stubborn .
“Alright . This is already the end of the Instance Dungeon . We’ll have more chances in the future . There’s no minimum bid . Everyone, you are all free to bid for the item now . ”
“250!”
A voice pierced through the air . Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, and found that it was none other than Deadly Green Orange, Drizzle Court’s professional Mage player . Red-faced, she stared back at everyone and said, “What are you guys looking at? That’s my bid . 250 . Anyone who goes higher than my price can take the item . ”
This was the second item that exceeded 200 points today .
Truthfully, there weren’t any other magic-based players who could afford to pay any higher than her price . After all, she had already fought in many other previous Instance Dungeons with them and had taken a Mana Igniting Cord and a Fusion Stone at minimum price . Other players who could compete with her had already taken other decent items, while some had their guild points emptied by Lu Li . Naturally, even those who didn’t take any items wouldn’t have the amount that she had .

She did this in the heat of the moment . No matter how many points other people had, she immediately threw out all she had .
“Alright then . If there aren’t any more bids, this item is going to Deadly Green Orange,” Lu Li said, then proceeded to hand the item to her . He didn’t feel any disappointment, since they were allies anyway . Ruling Sword would eventually become much closer to Drizzle Court and Peerless City .
“Let’s see if there are any other items . There’s no way that a Boss of this calibre would only drop two Epic items, right?”
“Shaman T2 Chestpiece…”
Everyone was speechless . This was too strange! Sakura Memories was the only Shaman in the whole team .
“Why is everyone looking at me? I…I’m going to be shy…”
This tomboy dared to put on an embarrassed expression, as if people were ganging up on her in a corner .
“You’re always taking the items at the minimum price . Are you cooking with the guild points that you’ve saved up?” Lu Li was also quite speechless .
Now the ones with the most guild points saved up were Hachi Chan and Sakura Memories . Hachi Chan didn’t take many items, while Sakura Memories always took items at the minimum price .
“It’s not like it’s on purpose…” Sakura Memories mumbled, expressing her innocence .
“I’ll take 50 guild points from you, since you have a lot anyway,” Lu Li said, earning the praises of the crowd .
“50 points . Alright then . Take it . ” Sakura Memories didn’t care .
As long as they didn’t bring more Shamans into the team, she would always have the opportunity to obtain items . Furthermore, since Shamans were underpowered at this current point in time, it was unlikely for more to join the team .
“Seems like…seems like there’s one more,” Remnant Dream announced weakly .
After looting the Shaman set item, the System indicated that there was more to be looted .
At this time, the items that usually dropped were mounts, pets or equipment .
The difficulty of this final Boss in Blackwing’s Lair had far surpassed the Molten Core . It was one of the final Instance Dungeons in this version of the game . To take the First Clear on Nightmare Difficulty and have four Epic items drop was something that wasn’t too unexpected .
“What is it?” Lu Li quickly asked .
If it wasn’t for his horrendous luck, he would have stepped forward and looted the item himself .
“Ashkandi: Greatsword of the Brotherhood . I think it’s a two-handed sword . Why is it a two-handed sword? Ugh . I can’t use it . ”
Remnant Dream just kept talking, not realising that Lu Li was already stunned to the point of absolute speechlessness .
