It was impossible not to die in a Berserk state.
It was said that even a low-level Instance Dungeon Boss could deal a lot of damage to high-level players when it went Berserk.
Out of the 40 players, more than 20 had died. Fortunately, the players were the final victors.
"The game is ending soon. Let's loot the equipment and get out of here," Lu Li urged after looking at the time. The game company did not care whether the players picked up the equipment or not. The Boss' corpse would respawn after a certain amount of time. No one had tested it yet, but it would definitely not be left for the players to wait until the next day.
"I actually got a Skill Point. I'm so happy," Canmeng said happily.
Whenever she was happy, the items she looted were exquisite. The Synthetic Stone was a stone that increased movement speed by 15. For classes with short legs like Priests, this stone was like charcoal in a snowstorm.
Exquisite boots only increased movement speed by 30. Lu Li's Champion's Boots were exquisite. He had been wearing it for a few months and it only increased movement speed by 25.
Although there were no Enhanced Skill Books, there were many ordinary Skill Books in the game that weren't easy to obtain. These Skill Books from large-scale Instance Dungeons were very good for ordinary players. Lu Li put these Skill Books that weren't needed by the First Clear teams into the guild warehouse. There would be many people fighting for them.
Here, another type of worker was born.
Lu Li had been a worker for a period of time in his previous life. He used materials and other things to exchange for Guild Points and then used the points to exchange for Skill Books and equipment.
Frankly speaking, in the Guild that he was in, or in almost all Guilds, these items that were rare to ordinary players were relatively expensive and difficult to obtain. No matter what, ordinary players couldn't escape the fate of being exploited. The strong made the rules, and the rules exploited the ordinary.
Lu Li had become a strong person in this life. He was destined to exploit ordinary people. This was the law of society, and it was not something he could change.
The only thing he could do was to exploit less and let more people get what they deserved.
Stellin's Beetle Shell was a Legendary shield. It was not a bad item and was good for pulling aggro. It was bought by World's Best Friend.
Shadow Wings was a Legendary staff. It was bought by a Mage from Peerless City.
Sanyue Yu bought the Excellent Gauntlets and T2 Priest Gloves at a high price. There wasn't much left for the others to share. In the remaining time, those who needed to do quests would do so, and those who had nothing to do would return to the city to rest. They still had to continue clearing this dungeon tomorrow.
Although there were only two Bosses left, the Dragon Slayer's Roar buff was gone.
The next day, Lu Li heard that Innocent Child had terminated his contract with the Gangnam Royals. In other words, both Dancing Star Dream and Innocent Child had requested to terminate their contract.
The penalty fee wasn't a small amount, but Heart of War was ambitious but not talented. When he signed the contract, he signed a special contract with a penalty fee of one yuan. Currently, there were some contracts in the gaming circle that belonged to this special contract.
Both sides agreed to part on good terms, and the penalty fee was only a symbolic one yuan.
The transfer of two star players shocked the entire gaming circle. Almost everyone was paying attention to the Gangnam Royals. The Gangnam Royals reacted quickly. They contacted media outlets that they were familiar with and held a press conference. The press conference was released almost at the same time as the news of the contract termination.
Heart of War's tone had lost its usual calmness. He was very serious and pointed out the club's star player's failure.
They had lost the competition and caused the club to suffer a huge loss. Not only did the club not pursue them, but they also comforted them. However, this generosity did not earn the gratitude of some of the star players. In order to get better treatment, they became the lackeys of the rival club.
Even so, no matter what he said, it couldn't change the fact that the Gangnam Royals' strength had been greatly reduced.
However, when the reporter raised this concern, Heart of War calmly announced a new piece of news. They would use this press conference to sign a new contract with seven top mercenary groups. These mercenary groups would provide various materials and equipment to the Gangnam Royals, and one of the mercenary groups would be responsible for training professional players to compete in competitions.
From Heart of War's point of view, the Gangnam Royals had used a special method to swallow up the seven largest mercenary groups in the industry.
Whether it was in Lu Li's previous life or this life, the Gangnam Royals had used this method to solve their club's crisis. However, in this life, Lu Li and Heart of War had clashed several times, forcing him to introduce this method at least a year earlier.
The emergence of this method could be said to have changed the way the game was professionalized to a certain extent.
Many clubs began to outsource certain tasks to mercenary groups, such as collecting materials, setting dungeon records, training professional players, and even participating in competitions.
Some clubs began to have multiple teams under their name, but they didn't have a direct relationship with these teams. The teams would compete in the name of these clubs, and the clubs would provide the teams with financial support and various resources.
With more people splitting the profits, the clubs and mercenary groups would have to split the profits together, which seemed to increase the financial pressure on the clubs.
In reality, after these trivial tasks were outsourced, not only would the clubs not reduce their profits, but they would also save a lot of trivial expenses.
Large clubs with hundreds of thousands of members seemed to have the advantage in numbers, but in reality, there weren't many people who could actually contribute to the club. Many players were in a state where they couldn't make ends meet, but in order to win over the hearts of the people, the clubs had to support these idle people.
Even if each person only needed a few dozen dollars a day from the club, they could still save a lot of money.
Therefore, starting from Heart of War, the major clubs began to reduce the number of people in their guilds. Under normal circumstances, they would maintain the size of the main guild at less than 100,000 people, and the number of people in the branch guilds would be even smaller. This directly led to the major clubs' recruitment standards continuously increasing.
Mercenary groups responsible for serving the clubs appeared like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Dawnlight further promoted the professionalization of the game and the professionalization of competitions.
When Lu Li had first been reborn, he had only wanted to create a mercenary group like this.
In the beginning, he would pull a group of people to fight Instance Dungeons for First Clears. In the future, he would take orders from the major clubs to help them get First Clears. Once he had a certain financial foundation, he would use the advantage of his rebirth to discover some of the potential players in his memory and gather them together to help those clubs compete.
It was just that his plans couldn't keep up with the changes. He didn't think that his mercenary group would develop so well that it would directly become a club with the ability to take First Clears.
Lu Li had Genhao San contact Innocent Child.
The two of them reached an agreement for Innocent Child to join Ruling Sword and become a Druid competitor.
This new contract was also a special one. Under the circumstances that it didn't directly harm Ruling Sword's interests, Innocent Child could choose to leave at any time. Lu Li didn't have any objections to this request. He still didn't believe that a contract could really bind someone.
The only thing that could keep someone was the person themselves.
If he felt that the club atmosphere was good, that he was happy playing the game, that he could play the competition, and that he could gain both fame and fortune, he wouldn't leave even if you kicked him out.
Genhao San quickly released the news that Innocent Child had joined Ruling Sword.
All of a sudden, Ruling Sword completely overshadowed the Gangnam Royals.
This was without a doubt. A star player left the Gangnam Royals and joined Ruling Sword, but his signing fee didn't increase. Instead, it just remained the same.
What did this mean?
It meant that Ruling Sword was more attractive to Innocent Child than the Gangnam Royals. This kind of transfer was more immediate than advertising. As such, many clubs were keen to poach players from rival clubs, even if they had to pay a higher price.
Dancing Star Dream also announced his departure along with Innocent Child.
Unfortunately, this person had already discussed where he would go. Even Innocent Child couldn't influence his decision.
Dancing Star Dream was going to Grand Hegemony. He was different from Innocent Child. Innocent Child's value didn't increase at all. What he cared about was his future, and he didn't want to be with a stupid club leader like Heart of War.
However, Dancing Star Dream was different. Once he left, his value would almost double.
Grand Hegemony had money, but they just didn't have a place to spend it.
As for his future, Dancing Star Dream wasn't a short-sighted person. Dancing Star Dream would become the captain of Grand Hegemony and build a Grand Hegemony team that he could single-handedly control.
In order to welcome Dancing Star Dream, Grand Hegemony also held a very lively press conference.
Lu Li and Ruling Sword didn't have that much money to treat their friends to tea. The so-called welcome ceremony was just a meal at a hotel. If there was anything else, it would be that Lu Li, the boss of the club, personally played Survival and Escape with Innocent Child and the others.
This chaos slowly calmed down. The Gangnam Royals didn't go bankrupt even though they had two star players gone. In fact, they seemed to be living quite comfortably.
On the surface, the winners were Ruling Sword and Grand Hegemony. They had both gained new blood, and if everything went smoothly, the lineups of these two teams would change quite a bit.
Lu Li's current focus was still on the Instance Dungeon.
On this day, Innocent Child joined the strategy team as a Healer Druid to participate in the strategy for Blackwing's Nest. He integrated very quickly, and Lu Li didn't seem to suspect that Innocent Child was sent by Heart of War to steal the strategy for the Instance Dungeon.
The seventh Boss of Blackwing's Nest was called Chromaggus.
This thing wasn't like the previous three Wyverns. It was an incomparably deformed two-headed dragon – it looked like a dog!
Chromaggus was the Black Dragon Prince's ultimate bio-experimental product. It was pieced together from countless dragon corpses. Its body material included parts of dragons with five different attributes, so it had the terrifying power of five attributes and ten types of area of effect magic.
