Chapter 1688: 1688
“Soulman bro, why did you have to come here bringing these others, and bringing them for free too?” Lu Li asked curiously .

“Um, my name in Soulhun . It’s like a doppleganger . In Shadow Realm there’s a type of weapon called the doppleganger weapon . Those with this weapon are called the doppel lords . It’s the top weapon of the last patch and I have three,” the blue-robed mage said, thinking he should show off his own glory .
As a failure in life – failing in business and having no choice but to go back home and continue the family business – Soulhun always thought he was to use another way to protect his own dignity .
“Ok, ok, I thought you and Soul Eater had some connection,” Lu Li said in a dumbstruck way .
“That previous boss of Peerless City before, right? I saw him a few times way back then, but we couldn’t get along, so we lost contact . I heard he’s really not been going well recently…”
“Alright, alright, you still haven’t said why you ran over here to boost . You’re not lacking money . Oh no, you’re bringing someone along for free,” Lu Li hastily said, cutting him off .
This person really practically had nothing on him .
“Haven’t I been taken along for free for a long time already? I just want to give back to society, so I ran over here to bring someone for free . I just didn’t think I’d bump into these evil people . These days, the problem of bullying is so serious in games,” Soulhun lamented .
“You’re coming for free . What about those people who do this for a living?” Lu Li asked .
“Rubbish . They say they have to make a living and need to raise a family . I gave them a bit of gold, but they went back on what they said . They said I had to pay them every Instance Dungeon, Soulhun said indignantly .
Lu Li could do nothing better than sigh at these local despots .
“The two leaders inside, they’ve all been respawned,” the messenger outside reported timely .
“Soulhun, brother, you game to go out together?” Lu Li asked .

“No reason not to be, but you haven’t even been game enough to reveal your name . Isn’t that a bit chicken?”
Soulhun had already seen Lu Li’s information ages ago . Though they were in the same team, Lu Li had hidden his own name .
“Me? Lu Li . You follow behind now,” Lu Li said, no longer continuing to cover anything up . He told him his own ID, then took the lead in heading out of the Instance Dungeon .
Lu Li was dead silent when heading out, but as soon as they were out, he entered Stealth straight away .
Enhanced Stealth wasn’t just more effective, but it also increased the effectiveness of Lu Li’s other skills . Especially since Lu Li was such a high-level thief, the shortened time it took to do things had an immediate effect .
After Lu Li went out, he quickly appeared next to the leader .
Soulhun was still digesting the ID info that Lu Li gave him . He had played Dawn for a short time, but Lu Li’s famous name had spread well beyond the game, and most people in the entire gaming circle knew about him .
This feeling was like seeing a legendary character .
Perhaps, in some people’s eyes, Lu Li was on the same level as the old boss of Peerless City, Soul Eater, but in the second-generation-eyes of Soulhun, it wasn’t like that .
Soulhun couldn’t look up to someone like Soul Eater – he felt like he was simply playing around with such a big club . Soul Eater was no different to himself, who had failed in business .
However, Lu Li wasn’t the same . He was a true high-level player that Soulhun aspired to be but could never reach .
Lu Li’s identity as the boss of Ruling Sword wasn’t enough to shake Soulhun . What Soulhun focused on was Lu Li’s talent . There was no Thief who was a match for him, and he had taken many more victories than losses against fellow high-level players .

“Hey, come out faster! Help me attract attention!” Lu Li called out .
“Oh, right, right . I’m coming out now,” Soulhun said right away .
At this, the Mages guarding outside saw the figure of a blue-robed Mage exit the Instance Dungeon . They immediate surrounded him and the Thief, determined to show these guys who wanted to challenge their authority what power really meant .
Lu Li was very pleased with the behavior of this rabble .
If it were elite players encountering this situation, they certainly wouldn’t just surround a target as soon as they saw them . It wasn’t necessary at all .
Even that that pitiful guy leading them was left alone again .
He stood outside the circle holding his arms, watching the battle scene with a cold laugh . At least from appearances, they had already solidly taken the advantage . The blue-robed Mage would be killed and couldn’t be saved unless he was frozen!
Lu Li stood behind him, stretching out a pair of evil hands .
And again!
The guy leading them was nothing more than a corpse, lying down on the scene .
The blue-robed mage Soulhun slid back into the Instance Dungeon again, and the Thief commander who was attacking them disappeared without a trace . They didn’t even know if this Thief was inside or outside the Instance Dungeon .
Life was meant to be messy . It was just that today was a bit too messy .
Standing in front of the angel, the guy leading them felt that this dark world was filled with malice towards him . For the first time, he realized that though he thought he had strength in numbers, it could be said that too many chefs spoiled the broth .
Once ambitious and filled with aspiration, these feelings slowly faded into thin air .
He laughed at himself, then went back on the road home . Surely nothing bad could happen three times in a row, he reassured himself . He needed to finish off these two people, putting a full stop to his squandering .
Just as he was respawning, he met with a new wave of attacks .
Poverty limited his imagination, or perhaps, low-level playing skills meant that he had no way of understanding how a real high-level player fought . Lu Li was standing next to his corpse, waiting till the moment he respawned before decisively attacking .
It definitely wasn’t what he imagine Lu Li would do, as he thought that Lu Li would’ve already escaped .
Only after killing the guy leading them again did Lu Li flash back into the Instance Dungeon . He even was able to pick up what the guy dropped for free . Perhaps it was because he had same PK points on him, but every time he died, he dropped the equipment he had on him .
Now, he looked extremely pitiful . He had been stripped of his clothes by Lu Li . The corpse that lay on the ground looked like it had been humiliated .
Collecting Corpses!
This phrase was on the minds of all the players there . There was no other word that could describe what it was like at the scene .
Most people would only collect from corpses when they had the advantage, like when they were repeatedly winning against a weaker target .
The guy leading the group hadn’t respawned in a long time .
The Thieves helping Lu Li watch were staring at the corpse turn back into computer code . This mean that the leader chose not to respawn where his corpse was, but rather respawn back where the city was .
“So weak-minded! What’s the point!”
Lu Li was really not happy .
“Sometimes it’s better to forgive and forget as they say . You’ve already killed them so many times,” Soulhun said, speaking up for the guy . Lu Li still couldn’t figure out if he was a natural at acting, or if he really did have a good heart .
“Screw it, I’m gonna go do my own thing . Do you want to come to my guild?” Lu Li asked .
He didn’t give out this request just to be nice . If the club had a few more of these rich second-generation kids, they would be better off .
It was just like with Her Tears; they contributed much more to the clubs .
Also, Soulhun seemed to be a decent character .
“Really? That’s sounds good, but I’ve got these three other guys here, see…”
Like before, he had such a strong sense of righteousness . Even in his overjoyed state, he wouldn’t forget his sworn brothers .
Lu Li stared at them for a moment, but couldn’t tell if they were being serious or not .
Regardless, if one extra person joined or four more joined, it didn’t make much difference . The other three looked to be relatively sharp and had a strong sense of justice too, so Lu Li didn’t really mind taking them in .
