Chapter 1907: Battle for Reputation
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
In more recent times, it was the equipment crafters that were the most busy . Although Ruling Sword had many people who specialised in this field and also had a stable relationship with the Life Alliance, some high-tier equipment still required the skills of particular people .
For example, Tailoring was March Rain’s field of expertise and Forging was Lu Li’s . Special tools were not easily obtained .
The aim of making all of these equips was to prepare for battle against other megclubs .
This was the final battle in the Top 100 . Ruling Sword was met with Blood Red War Flag, a powerful opponent . After the Gangnam Royals slipped down in the rankings, Blood Red War Flag proceeded to surpass them and became a powerhouse club .
As for Ruling Sword, although they had managed to emerge as champions twice, their rank did not reflect this . This was because there were many factors that were taken into account when considering the rankings .
Blood Red War Flag had many First Clear records for Instance Dungeons . Although they couldn’t compare with Ruling Sword, they weren’t very far behind Glory Capital . As for Wild Bosses, they couldn’t compare with the numbers of Glory Capital, but the quality of the Bosses that they had killed were rather decent as well .
Only Blood Red War Flag was brave enough to directly compete with Glory Capital for Wild Bosses .
Other clubs like Seventh Heaven and Wings of Dawn would avoid fighting Glory Capital alone, unless they were in a multi-club alliance . As for Ruling Sword, Lu Li didn’t dare to confront Glory Capital either . One clash would result in at least a 3-month negative regression for the club .
Blood Red War Flag had a reputation of being strict, impartial and fearless .
During Wild Boss battles, their players were like military soldiers . They were completely obedient to orders from the commander . Lu Li dreamt of having teammates like this . However, this was something that wouldn’t be possible in a game . Everyone was here to play the game and there was no hierarchy or superiority . Only fair treatment was able to keep the club going .
This time, the arrangement of these two clubs meeting together in the Top 100 was like the last battle .
“This is the information on their new members . ”
Wandering had done some investigation into Blood Red War Flag prior to the battle, so he took out some papers and handed them to everyone .
Lu Li looked over the information and did not feel the slightest bit of panic .
He had known these people from his previous life . They had appeared during the second season of the Professional League . There was a particularly skilled player whose potential was not any less than Fat Monkey’s . However, Lu Li never tried to reach out to him and recruit him to Ruling Sword .
This wasn’t a case of price, but rather, it was a tricky situation .
This player was a Thief called Biting Youth . He would have been the most popular up and coming Thief superstar if it wasn’t for Lu Li . He was a player who won against Wood Fearing and Floral Paralysis .
It was rumoured that his annual salary was $300,000 . This was even lower than what Lu Li gave those newbies at Judgment Spear!
This wasn’t just a low price – it was a bargain .

As for why Ruling Sword couldn’t recruit him, it was because he only wanted to join Blood Red War Flag . His dedication to joining Blood Red War Flag was so strong that he would complete free labour for them, instead of accepting any amount of money from other clubs .
This was extremely rare in the gaming industry .
Biting Youth didn’t have any mental problems . He was an ex-military soldier .
He had retired from the military in August . Before entering the military, he was known as a young prodigy who had some reputation . He was highly scouted by many megclubs, who waited for him to become an adult to snag him for themselves . In the end, everyone failed as he became a soldier .
After retiring, he immediately announced that he was joining Blood Red War Flag .
He was destined to become one of Blood Red War Flag’s members . No one was able to change that, especially someone of his calibre .
Drunken Agar and Poison Stream were all in similar situations . Therefore, Blood Red War Flag had three new top players join their ranks . This was the main discussion point in the Ruling Sword camp . They gathered together and analysed each player’s tendencies and abilities in detail . Then, they listed out what they needed to watch out for from these players .
Ruling Sword didn’t need more points to advance into the next round, but this match was fought for the sake of reputation . If they lost, it wouldn’t look too good .
Blood Red War Flag didn’t need it either, but they didn’t mind using this battle to debut their three new players . They wanted the world to know these three new recruits .
Jade Flower Lover had already replaced Dust Dragon as Blood Red War Flag’s manager . Dust Dragon was only in charge of managing the club’s activities .

If Dust Dragon was a soldier, then Jade Flower Lover would be a combination of a businessman and a soldier . He was born into a business family and studied finance in university, but instead of entering this field, he went and worked as a soldier for many years . After returning from military service, he immersed himself into the world of gaming and joined Blood Red War Flag . He progressed to where he was now one step at a time .
He had the toughness of a soldier and the cunningness of a businessman .
It was said that Blood Red War Flag’s founder was also someone who was born into a business family and became a soldier afterwards . Then, once he had built up enough power, he established the guild . It was then that Blood Red War Flag grew and grew to become a fearsome power .
Everyone didn’t have much information on these three new players, although they had fought a few times in the public eye .
“Blood Red War Flag’s Biting Youth is challenging you . Are you going to accept the challenge?” Cat Dad asked .
“What’s your suggestion?” Lu Li wanted a second opinion . He didn’t want to accept this challenge because he didn’t need to accept it to grow his reputation anymore . Winning wouldn’t bring him any benefit, and if he lost, then he would become Biting Youth’s stepping stone .
“My suggestion is for you to accept it . It doesn’t look good on your part if you avoid his challenge . Are you confident?” Cat Dad asked .
No one knew about the properties of the Supreme Ring .
“I won’t lose,” Lu Li answered as he nodded his head .
“Then let’s accept it . We’ll count it as giving Blood Red War Flag a favour . If he can’t defeat you, then that’s their problem,” Cat Dad laughed, then continued, “There’s also this Prison Stream . If he can meet Moonlight on the arena, they would be even more satisfied . ”

“What can this favour get us?” Lu Li didn’t understand Cat Dad’s words .
“We can just hold onto it for now and use it at a later date . They won’t forget this . Not even Jade Flower Lover . They are too prideful to forget a favour . ”
Cat Dad was someone highly experienced with the gaming industry and had decades of know-how in this industry . He was extremely familiar with how these clubs were .
“I’ll be the first one, then Moonlight second . If they want to meet Moonlight, then they’ll have to get through me,” Lu Li decided .
Realistically, even if Lu Li didn’t accept the challenge, Ruling Sword would also need to send out other people . All of their competitors were well-known players, so any defeat on their part would inflate Blood Red War Flag’s players’ reputations .
There was another way . Lu Li could accept Biting Youth’s challenge, then shamelessly send out Moonlight as the first fighter .
There were no Thieves who could face Moonlight in a one-on-one battle .
