Chapter 1750: A Proposal for an Alliance

Claymore of Unholy Might – this was a two-handed broadsword that was purchased at a low price by Her Tears .

Actually, he had a better weapon . However, as someone who was crazy about PVP and often charged headfirst into battle, dropping items was a frequent occurrence for him . This would be his backup weapon, and one that was quite powerful .

Next, there were two T3 Belts, one pair of shoes and one set of shoulders . There were four T3 items in total .

The item drop rates for First Clears were boosted . If it wasn’t for it being a First Clear, then it was likely that there would only be four T3 items, despite it being a top-tier level 60 Instance Dungeon .

“There’s something that I want to talk to you about,” Square Root Three said to Lu Li . “It’s about this afternoon’s competition . ”

“What’s up? There shouldn’t be problems with the competition in the afternoon, right?”

Lu Li didn’t understand what Square Root Three meant by that . The match was against Grand Hegemony . Although they were developing at a rapid rate, Ruling Sword had never been worried about losing to them .

“It’s Drinking Alone . They might be planning to do some underhanded stuff,” Square Root Three explained .

“I’m friends with him . Why didn’t he just approach me?”

Lu Li frowned a little . If it was someone else offering them cash to throw the match, then they could just immediately reject them . However, Drinking Alone was his friend, albeit not one that was very close with him .

“If he approached you right away, then there would be no turning back . He probably approached me to test the waters,” Square Root Three chuckled .

“What does that mean?” Lu Li asked .

“In the end, it’s still your decision . Based on how Grand Hegemony is now, it would be too cruel to kick them out of the top 100 . ”

Square Root Three clearly was not objecting against the idea of throwing the match . It wouldn’t be favourable for them if they just trampled on others either .

Lu Li didn’t know Grand Hegemony’s battle history, so he did a little bit of research to understand the situation .

They were once a top 20 club . However, they were knocked down by a number of other guilds, so their points were lagging behind . Now that they had matched up against Ruling Sword, if they lost, then it was likely that they were going to drop out of the top 100 .

To avoid this, they looked for Square Root Three to ask if they could get Ruling Sword to give them a chance .

“How about this? I’ll discuss this with Drinking Alone,” Lu Li said .

They arranged for a meeting in a tavern in Stormwind City . This tavern was an establishment founded by a player . Lush and verdant vines snaked up the walls of the tavern, but the design aesthetic was also quite modern . It was well-suited to having meetings . Furthermore, the costs were rather high here, so it was not too crowded .

“Long time no see, Lu Li . ”

Drinking Alone’s smile was a little forced .

After all, the purpose of this meeting wasn’t a casual hangout with friends . To think that the first time that they met, Lu Li seemed like a normal player who was just a little luckier than the others while he himself was in charge of a megclub…

How things had changed with time . Lu Li was now one of the key figures in the whole of Dawn and the gaming industry, while his megclub needed players to join them .

“Hope that you have been well, Drinking Alone bro . ”

Lu Li didn’t know how to start the conversation, so he just went with the go-to response .

“Well, I’ll be blunt with you . Grand Hegemony has been very hardworking, but effort alone does not determine success . Sometimes, it also depends on luck . If we lose this time, then we won’t have another chance . I hope that in the upcoming match, you will go easy on us . Of course, we won’t make things difficult for you,” Drinking Alone said .

“I had a look at your match history . It was not pretty at all . I understand your situation, but this match doesn’t only affect you guys . If we lose to you, how will our reputation be affected? I hope you guys can understand this . ”

Lu Li wasn’t going to budge easily, although he was making the decision for Ruling Sword .

“We don’t need you to lose . Lu Li, we’re not behind by that much . We only need to get three more points to enter the top 100 . If we enter the competition and still are unlucky, then that’s on us . ”

“Three points?” Lu Li was surprised .

“Well, Drinking Alone bro, are you not confident enough to get a mere three points fighting fairly?”

If they were an average club facing off against so many of the top clubs, then they would have already been eliminated . However, looking at their match history, Grand Hegemony was able to earn quite a few points and even hoped to join the top 100 . This meant that they were currently quite powerful .

“If we were faced with another club, then we would at least have hope, but we’re facing you . ” Drinking Alone’s tone was depressed .

According to the current competition’s rules, winning the Arena rewarded 3 points, while the group battle rewarded 6 points . As such, there were 9 points up for grabs . Ties were unlikely, so there was always one side with higher points and the other with lower points . Therefore, it was quite difficult for Grand Hegemony to take 3 points away from Ruling Sword .

From the selection of players that they had, Grand Hegemony lacked real star players .

As such, they only had a small chance at taking an Arena battle . This was assuming that Lu Li didn’t enter . However, if Lu Li was the one that they had to fight against, then it was likely that they weren’t even going to earn a single point .

As for group battles, it was hopeless . Ruling Sword’s team of Lu Li, Moonlight, March Rain, Fat Monkey, Kitty Likes Meat and Mu Qiu was too much for them to handle . These players were all the cream of the crop . It was futile to try and break their defences and kill someone .

“Don’t worry about it, Brother Lu Li,” Drinking Alone said . He observed Lu Li’s expression and realised that Lu Li wasn’t objected to the idea, then quickly added, “I won’t let things be difficult for you . If we can just get three points from this match, we will be more than satisfied already . ”

As he was saying this, Drinking Alone slid over a piece of paper .

Were they not going to pay with money? Lu Li was confused and read the paper . He found that it was a contract for an alliance . This contract stipulated that Grand Hegemony would give Ruling Sword 5% of their stocks .

This type of alliance was frequently seen in the gaming industry . Although a 5% stake wasn’t enough to do anything with, the money involved was quite a large sum .

This alliance would ensure that neither side would betray the other .

Normally, an alliance like this would involve the stronger side giving less, while the weaker side would give more . All in all, both sides would be gaining something . However, in this contract, Ruling Sword didn’t need to give a portion of their stocks to Grand Hegemony .

This was a one-sided contract, which would be tough to reject .
