Chapter 1893: Cupid
There was something similar that occurred twice in one year . One was the western Valentine’s Day, while the other was the eastern Valentine’s day .
Other smaller countries might also have their own similar traditions, but their influence was limited . Furthermore, games could not have the same event too many times, since that would spoil its meaning .
The Valentine’s Day within the game was designed quite well and there were many things to do .
Many people would find a fake partner to spend Valentine’s Day in game . After all, there was no way for the game masters to know that they were real or fake couples anyway . However, many players who found fake partners slowly became a real couple as well .
They found the NPC in charge to send them into the Instance Dungeon, and after paying the fee, they entered .
The first dungeon was the Spider Nest, which was the lowest-levelled instance dungeon in Dawn . Lu Li and Water Fairy could both one-shot the mobs with a normal attack .
Lu Li recalled this as being the first step that he had taken in his newly-reborn life . This dungeon was also his very first First Clear .
Lu Li was responsible for killing the mobs, while Water Fairy was responsible for looting . Although the loot was all low-levelled, worthless materials, this feeling of working together was very couple-like .
On the way to the first Boss, they finally saw the first Lovebird .
The game supersized the designs of these Lovebirds from their real-world counterparts . They were approximately half a metre long each and had a brownish black head . There was a yellow collar around their necks and their breast was coloured green . Their back and wings were light-green with the tips of the wings being black, their tails being green and their feet being grey .
In the real world, these birds were also called lovebirds . This was because they did not leave their partners for as long as they lived .
Since the Spider Nest was a level 10 Instance Dungeon, the Lovebirds here were all level 10 as well .
Although the Dungeon was on Elite difficulty, it was still unable to withstand Lu Li’s normal attack .
“I’ll loot,” Water Fairy said as she immediately teleported to the side of the Lovebird .
“Are you saying that I have bad luck?”
Lu Li’s expression was one that was extremely unimpressed .
“How can that be?” Water Fairy felt awkward but managed to keep her smile and composure and continued, “I’ve been the one looting this whole time . Furthermore, look at my hands, then look at yours . Are your hands any whiter than mine?”
These were all fleeting thoughts, but Lu Li’s attention was instantly diverted to Water Fairy’s little white hands .
There were two Love Red Wires from the first Lovebird . Both of them were transferred into Water Fairy’s storage . Lu Li didn’t care about it . There were two people that he was generous with . One was his own sister and the other was probably this woman in front of him .
This tandem of Lu Li and Water Fairy quickly progressed to Stratholme’s Instance Dungeon . By this time, they had accumulated quite a few Love Red Wires .
After arriving at Stratholme, Lu Li couldn’t be the only one fighting . Even if these were small mobs, he was unable to one-shot them any longer . They couldn’t relax when it came to the Boss either, otherwise, they were in danger of being wiped .

“Let’s go grind the Rivendare’s Deathcharger . It might drop,” Water Fairy suggested .
The two of them proceeded to go and grind for Rivendare’s Deathcharger .
Although it was difficult, Water Fairy and Lu Li were able to purchase this mount with a small price . After all, there was no mount-locking system in place yet .
For the sake of limiting the number of items floating in the market and encouraging everyone to play the game whole-heartedly, the gaming company decided to implement an equipment and tool locking system . This system locked most mounts, some items and a few special tools .
This implementation meant that an item that a rewarded item would become untradeable after 30 minutes of trading it .
Even if there was a 30 minute window to trade it, only party members who were in the battle were able to receive it . This caused a wave of complaints from many players, but it was futile .
As a result, Lu Li began to stockpile and hoard as many mounts as he could now and opened a special storage area for them .
When the locking system was implemented, there would be a great inflation in the prices of the mounts . At that time, mounts would be extremely profitable . This was probably the last thing that Lu Li was able to use his knowledge on to be able to profit from buying and selling .
The two of them entered Baron Rivendare’s room, but they didn’t find Rivendare .
Instead, they found a Boss that was not typical of what a Stratholme Boss would look like . From its appearance, it just looked like a naked little boy with a pair of wings on his back . In his hands, there was a short bow that was enveloped in a soft light .

“This is…” Water Fairy was shocked .
“This is the Boss, huh?” Lu Li sighed .
“This is a cupid, you uncultured swine,” Water Fairy scolded, unable to help herself . She sighed and looked at the Boss with beaming eyes . “The game designers have earned their money . This Boss is so cute .
“Kill him! Quick! Surely he’ll drop something good!” Lu Li cried out, nearly drooling .
This was a complete surprise . After all, they just expected there to be another Lovebird . They did not expect to see the event’s Boss .
There were four Bosses for the Valentine’s Day event – Cupid, Nice, Matchmaker, Cowherd and the Weaving Maid . The Cowherd and Weaving Maid had the same cooldown times, so these two Bosses were counted as one Boss . These Bosses’ levels were affected by the map that they spawned in
The Cupid in front of them was substituting for Baron Rivendare . As such, his level was the same as the Baron’s .
However, event Bosses were not difficult . After all, there were only two people fighting them . Some people even went as far as to find Healing classes, especially Paladins, to be their partners . After all, Paladins were capable of a little DPS and could tank well .
As for these two Thieves, they could only try their best to maintain crowd control on the Cupid .
Fortunately for them, Bosses were susceptible to crowd-control skills . However, they were unable to control the Cupid like they did other players .

Water Fairy was a little reluctant to fight the Cupid . After all, he was a cute little boy .
Lu Li didn’t think that Water Fairy was being unreasonable . After all, he thought that a girl like Water Fairy didn’t like children, but that clearly wasn’t the case . He felt warm inside knowing this .
Fortunately, the Cupid transformed into a sinister monster after the battle commenced .
From a class standpoint, he was likely to be a combination of a Hunter and Priest . He would use a healing skill on himself every 10% decrease in HP . Therefore, they needed to interrupt the skill animation each time .
With two Thieves here, it was not a problem at all . In fact, it was probably overkill .
Hunters fired arrows as their DPS method . The Cupid’s normal attacks did not deal much damage . The damage was less than 100 per hit on a level 70 player . However, his magic arrows dealt a lot of damage . Each arrow dealt at least 300 damage . In a situation without a healer, this was extremely lethal .
Lu Li and Water Fairy rotated as they each fought the Boss and tanked the damage . Once their HP reached a certain threshold, they would retreat and heal themselves with bandages .
