Chapter 1898: Awkward and Embarrassed
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
There was going to be an award ceremony for the championship prize, beginning from the consolation prize and moving on the champion .
The consolation prize was originally just going to be an ordinary award . Two pieces of Gold equipment wasn’t much to boast about . At most, the pretty design of the equipment would complement the few words they spoke on stage about their success .
This was the plan until a guy expressed his love towards his female partner in front of such a large audience .
After this, a couple others expressed their love too . This included the runner-ups . What made people speechless was that the runner-ups’ expression of love was a success .
Finally, it came to the champions . It was time for the two masked people .
The one responsible for the awards was the gaming celebrity, Su Guliang . In real life, she was the model, singer, and actress Su Mei . Lu Li had seen her once . Previously, at the marathon, she was responsible for awarding the prizes too . Later, as Dawn became more and more popular, she signed a set contract with Dawn .
This time, Lu Li decided not to speak, in case he would be recognized .
Water Fairy had the same idea . The two decided to just take their things and leave .
“Hey, Snowy, long time no see,” Su Mei said smilingly .
Water Fairy looked at her with a daze . She was so perplexed as to how she could recognize her . Apart from her pair of eyes, nothing else was showing . If she could tell who she was just by looking at her eyes, then Su Mei must have been ridiculously vain .
“Oh, and Lu Li, long time no see too,” Su Mei continued .
“It must be Lu Li who exposed us,” Water Fairy muttered, immediately shifting the blame .
“You must be so surprised I can recognize you two, right?” Su Mei asked, as if she seemed to know what Water Fairy was thinking . “It’s not just me who knows – the whole world knows . It’s just you 2 who think everyone doesn’t know…”
Lu Li and Water Fairy were straight out ruined .
They didn’t even know how they managed to get the award as they dejectedly escaped this difficult situation .
Only after they got back did they see that all the world’s news had been focused on them, including various livestreams, the major forums and even their club channel .
“I’m blaming you . Who told you to only wear this set of clothes?” Water Fairy complained .

“It was clearly your wrap that gave it away . The clothes I’m wearing have been worn hundreds of thousands of times . No one could just tell by looking at the clothes,” Lu Li protested .
“You’re still not admitting it! Still not admitting it!” Water Fairy cried as she held Lu Li’s arm, found a sensitive area, and twisted it strongly a few times with malice .
Lu Li’s head was covered in cold sweat . Fortunately, this was a game . If Lu Li was attacked like this in real life, he would be done for .
However, he still pretended like it really hurt .
The two pieces of Epic equipment were both clothing . Apart from being equipment, they were also quite fashionable . The final piece of equipment had the Bind effect, which meant that as soon as you put it on, you had no way of selling it .
In his past life, Lu Li at this time would be at a stage where he lacked money, and he would definitely sell it for his sister’s treatment .
But naturally, he wouldn’t do that now . Lu Li had no doubt about where this equipment was going to end up . Of course, he was going to wear it .
In just two short years, his circumstances had gone through groundbreaking changes .
Venus’ Protection (Epic) Armour 160, Constitution +270, HP +450, Special Effect 1: The amount of time the wearer is controlled by magic is reduced by 20% . Special Effect 2, Venus’ Protection . Activated when the wearer’s HP is below 10% . Provides a shield for the wearer that is able to absorb 5000 damage . While the shield is present, movement speed increases by 50% . Activation cooldown 2 hours . Level Requirement: 70, Durability 450/450 .

Naturally, the attributes were excellent . Either of the special effects would make it an Exquisite equip . If you had to speak about weaknesses, then you could only say that it did not strongly favor a profession . In terms of attributes, it increased Constitution and HP, but what Lu Li needed more was Agility and Strength . However, the Constitution wasn’t bad either . The following Instance Dungeon demanded a lot of Constitution, and increased Constitution also increased survivability in the arena .
Water Fairy’s equipment was better than Lu Li’s . There was no choice – the female tycoon had driven the last two stages and surpassed the final 100 to take the championship .
Water Fairy’s equipment was close to being Legendary . It surpassed Lu Li’s in every single way, and there were three special effects too . The last special effect gave Water Fairy the skill to sprout wings and fly for a short time . The key was that it could be used in battle . That way, no matter if she was escaping or chasing, she would become her opponent’s nightmare .
There wasn’t much point for Lu Li to be jealous . She was his own partner, so no matter how powerful she was, it was fine . Anyway, with the Supreme Ring on his hand, he was on solid ground when it came to Thief battles, so there was no chance of getting dominated by his girl .
After the couples’ horserace was over, Lu Li and Water Fairy went back to the Instance Dungeon together to farm Lovebirds . Regardless of what level the Instance Dungeon was, the lone Lovebirds had no way to defend against the attack of two top Thieves . The total number of their red wires had reached over 200 . They could already exchange for 20 of the giftboxes .
Twenty gift boxes was already quite a lot . Most couples would reach this level after playing for 1 day, but Lu Li and Water Fairy could farm this in half a day, and they had even won the racehorse championship in the meantime . There weren’t any other events they wanted to join in the afternoon, so they spent their whole time on farming those wires .
It wasn’t that there weren’t any other activities on Valentine’s Day . As a large-scale celebration in the game, there were at least a dozen or so events like the ‘couples’ horserace . It was just that the events and the prizes weren’t attractive to Lu Li and Water Fairy, and after just experiencing such awkward embarrassment in front of so many spectators, they were itching to bury themselves up with sand . Of course they couldn’t go out and join in public events again .
As the Instance Dungeon levels got higher, the lovebirds became harder and harder to kill .
They had already defeated the Instance Dungeon in Karazhan this week, and as for the Boss inside, they could only farm it from next week after the Instance Dungeon was updated . Although they would still occasionally farm a few new monsters, it was nothing compared to the masses and masses of smaller monsters originally in Karazhan . If you were farming lovebirds inside, it was very lonely business . Although it was hard to farm, it wasn’t hard to deal with it . After all, you didn’t have to clean up the smaller monsters .

This was until Lu Li met a matchmaker on the Karazhan platform .
The matchmaker’s hair was all white, with a kind expression . He wore a very festive red robe and held a long cane in his hand . Then, the originally dark and gloomy capital of Karazhan became filled with great color . In short, it looked like a scene from a Chinese-style wedding .
What if he met a Boss? There was no doubt that unless you were romantic and sentimental, you would go and fight it .
Lu Li and Water Fairy weren’t romantic people . They were even more curious as to see what the Boss could give them .
One lovebird took 2 minutes to kill . How would they farm the level 70 matchmaker boss?
