Basically, it was the old man who asked questions and Lu Li who answered.
The old man was very good at communication. He didn't make Lu Li feel like he was being interrogated. He didn't ask whether Lu Li had a car, a house, or how much money he had. Most of the conversation was about trivial things. Especially when he knew that Lu Li often listened in at the university, they found a common topic.
As for the question about when Lu Li planned to marry his granddaughter, it was more like a joke.
It wasn't easy to marry his granddaughter.
Lu Li talked about some of the things that he had learned from listening in at the university. There were also some things that he didn't quite understand. What surprised him was that no matter what subject it was, this old man could always give a concise and easy to understand answer.
In fact, the old man was also surprised.
Lu Li, who had no foundation, went to the university to listen in, and it was good enough that he could understand. He didn't expect that he could also ask questions, and these questions were not superficial.
He was a young man with a strong learning ability.
But because of the hardships in life, his way of learning was hindered. Now he was making up for the lost time with his own efforts.
Overall, this meeting was very harmonious.
Lu Li and the old man left a good impression on each other.
Especially Lu Li, he deliberately hid his dark side, and it was very successful. The old man only felt that he had suffered since he was a child and survived with his strong will. Later, he got the opportunity of the game and rose to the sky.
He didn't know that Lu Li became a gangster when he was very young.
He had faced all kinds of darkness and created a lot of darkness. In order to survive, he was really not a good person.
If the old man knew his darkness, they wouldn't be able to talk so happily.
At noon, Lu Li and Water Fairy accompanied the old man to eat porridge, which was the kind of food that old people liked. It couldn't add any energy, but it was more healthy.
Somehow, the topic turned to the management of the club.
It was like poking a hornet's nest.
In the following time, the old man began to analyze Lu Li's situation with his eyes shining, and then gave all kinds of suggestions. This topic was very tenacious, and it went on from noon to night.
Apart from going to the toilet a few times, he spent his time drinking cup after cup of tea.
What a good teacher!
Lu Li finally knew the biggest characteristic of this old man who was said to be the former headmaster.
However, Lu Li had to admit that he had benefited a lot from this process. Many of the questions that had puzzled him previously had been answered.
In the end, it was Water Fairy who dragged her grandfather away. Old people should not be too tired.
Overall, this meeting was very harmonious.
The old man felt that Lu Li was very studious, and Lu Li felt that the old man was worth learning from. They even made an appointment to meet again. After all, they lived in the same neighborhood.
This seemed to be a kind of strategy.
A few days later, when the System announced on the World Channel that The Capital of Glory had taken the First Clear of the Ruins of Ahn 'Qiraj, Lu Li woke up from his sweet dream.
Shameless!
A certain someone who was used to being shameless directly flipped the table. He cursed the people from The Capital of Glory angrily. He felt that these people did not have any samurai spirit at all.
They had already said that everyone would enter the Instance Dungeon together.
"You said it. No one else said it," Wander said without any angry expression. It was just one of the two major Instance Dungeons, and it was the one that wasn't that important.
"Let's go, let's go." Lu Li immediately tore up the agreement and issued the order to march into the Temple of Ahn 'Qiraj.
The 40 players were basically all familiar faces, and they were the strongest players from the three guilds alliance.
The Main Tank was Weilan Haifeng. There was no doubt about this. Lu Li usually raised him so that he could be slaughtered at critical moments. There were two secondary tanks – Wander and Deep Watersong. World's Best Friend was on standby outside.
The healers were Sanyue Yu, Star Baby, Darkness, Xiaoba Jiang and others.
The other players were the core elites of the three guilds. It was still mainly Ruling Sword's players, with Drizzle Court and Peerless City's players as support.
In terms of team composition, Ahn 'Qiraj was more demanding and extreme than Blackwing's Nest. Some Bosses focused on crazy DPS output, some Bosses focused on extremely high resistance, and there were even some Bosses that Warriors couldn't tank. Basically, they needed around seven Warriors, fifteen or sixteen Healers, and four or five Warlocks, Thieves, Mages and Hunters each to meet most of the time.
As for the specific composition of the professions, it might be different at each stage, so Lu Li arranged for as many as 20 people to be on standby in the Instance Dungeon.
At this time, Ahn 'Qiraj was already overcrowded. The Capital of Glory's First Clear had completely ignited the popularity of this area. Countless people poured in, but they found that they could only enter the Ruins of Ahn' Qiraj Instance Dungeon. The more advanced Temple of Ahn 'Qiraj required them to participate in the Opening Quest before they could enter.
At least one member of the guild who had completed the Opening Quest had to bring you in.
According to Lu Li's knowledge, there shouldn't be more than 10 guilds that had completed the Opening Quest.
After entering the Door of Ahn 'Qiraj, there were two paths. The green door on the left was the Ruins, while the green door on the right was the Temple.
In Lu Li's eyes, the shameless Capital of Glory had broken the gentleman's agreement that everyone had made to clear the First Clear together, and had shamelessly taken the Ruins of Ahn 'Qiraj. They were only slightly better than the shameless Blood Red War Flag because they had honestly cleared the Instance Dungeon on Nightmare difficulty, while Blood Red War Flag had already achieved the First Clear on Elite difficulty, and had been nailed to the pillar of shame in the annals of Azeroth's history.
Hopefully, these shameless people would never be forgotten.
"Now, you can start to collect the potions that you need. Teams one to eight will enter the Instance Dungeon, and the others will be on standby outside. You guys can farm Reputation around here. Our Enforcers will be around, and they will protect you from other players."
Ruling Sword's Enforcers, under the leadership of Her Tears, were PVP fanatics who lived for the sake of fighting.
After choosing Nightmare difficulty, the 40 people successfully entered the Temple of Ahn 'Qiraj Instance Dungeon.
The Ruins of Ahn 'Qiraj that the Capital of Glory had taken was only a 20 person Instance Dungeon, and had six Bosses. However, the Instance Dungeon that Lu Li and the others were about to take was a 40 person Instance Dungeon, and had nine Bosses.
This Instance Dungeon mainly produced T2.5 sets, as well as some other items.
The Instance Dungeon related quests basically all had to be accepted. Since it was shared, there wasn't a need for everyone to accept the quests.
Similar to the Ruins, each profession's five-piece set of quests would be accepted and completed within Ahn 'Qiraj. The specific location was behind Skeram's room, which would be mentioned later. The shoulders and feet of the set required "Children of Nozdormu" to have Neutral Reputation, the head and legs required Friendly Reputation, and the clothes required Respectful Reputation.
The people who entered the Instance Dungeon this time had basically been fighting for at least 10 hours under the attack of the Qiraj Insects.
Reputation was no longer a problem.
However, no one would complain about having too much Reputation. In this Instance Dungeon, it wasn't difficult to obtain Reputation.
In the Instance Dungeon, every time a Boss was killed, a "Qiraj Lord's Emblem" would be dropped. If this item was given to "Candorstraz", one of the three NPCs behind Skeram's room, it would be possible to obtain 500 "Children of Nozdormu" Reputation, which was always valid.
Any small monsters in the Instance Dungeon could also drop "Ancient Qiraj Artifacts", which could be taken repeatedly without limit. If the quest "Secrets of Qiraj" was given to "Andugos", one of the three NPCs, it would be possible to obtain 1000 "Children of Nozdormu" Reputation, which was always valid.
Every Boss could also drop "Emperor Qiraj Weapons" and "Emperor Qiraj Emblem". On the left side of C 'Thun's room, there were three imprisoned dragons (of course they looked like humans, just like the three NPCs who made the five-piece set). They were Merinthra, Kerestraz, and Arrigos, who had gone missing during the Battle of the Shifting Sands.
The Emperor Qiraj Weapon, Emblem, and three Elemental Ores could be exchanged here for excellent weapons.
These quests were all completed in the process of conquering the Instance Dungeon.
After entering the Instance Dungeon, they would see a patrolling Obsidian Cleaner. Based on the current situation of the Dawnlight Instance Dungeon, no one would underestimate the gatekeeper monster.
The gatekeeper monster of the Molten Core had taught everyone what it meant to be on the brink of death.
Under normal circumstances, after players entered the Temple of Ahn 'Qiraj, they would die at least once or twice against the Obsidian Cleaner.
Don't underestimate these stupid looking monsters.
As an elemental creature – the magic type – they would run out of mana as soon as they appeared. This was the first time in the game.
Weilan Haifeng immediately couldn't hold back his contempt, laughing at the weakness of this gatekeeper monster. The damage it dealt to Weilan Haifeng was not even comparable to the Chongzi monsters outside. According to this progress, there might not even be a need for healers to heal the Main Tank.
Lu Li could have prevented the tragedy from happening, but Weilan Haifeng's contempt made him give up on this idea.
He might as well just kill them once, in case they didn't know their place.
After a dozen or so seconds, a wave of energy swept through the whole area. Except for a few people, everyone else was killed.
Lu Li used Gale Steps to save his own life.
He was someone who had been reborn, so he naturally knew what was going to happen and when to use Gale Steps.
As for the others, he didn't know.
Even though everyone's equipment was better now, and enchantments could also increase their HP, there were still only a few people who had more than 6000 HP. Even the berserker Moonlight only had 5000 HP.
With less than 6000 HP, the Obsidian Cleaner's area-of-effect attack was a dead end.
This elemental creature started out with no mana, but it would constantly draw energy from the players to replenish its mana. Once its mana was full, it would deal 6500 + Nature damage. This monster was similar to the Obsidian Destroyer in the Ruins, except that it had a lot more attack, defense, and HP.
However, Weilan Haifeng and the others hadn't even entered the Ruins of Ahn 'Qiraj, so of course they didn't know about this new attack mechanism.
In fact, it was very simple to deal with it. Before killing it, they just had to make sure that its mana didn't recover to full. Warlocks and Priests both had skills to draw mana. The Obsidian Cleaner drew mana from the players, so why couldn't the players draw mana from it?
If they knew how to play, this kind of goalkeeper was very weak.
After killing the Obsidian Cleaner, everyone faced a group of four Anubisath Sentinels.
Anubisath Sentinels!
When everyone saw this thing, they subconsciously shivered. The war with the Zerg a few days ago was still a shadow that shrouded everyone's hearts. In recent days, some people were still dreaming of fighting the Zerg.
The Anubisath soldiers had appeared as elite monsters in the war against the insects, and their strength had left a deep impression on everyone.
"Don't be afraid. Be brave and attack," Lu Li pushed Weilan Haifeng forward.
It wasn't that these monsters had become weaker. In reality, these four Anubisath Sentinels were stronger than the ones outside. It would only take a few minutes for them to wipe out the players.
However, just staring at them wasn't a solution. They couldn't kill the monsters.
Everyone killed the first monster. This monster knew a group Shadow Arrow. The attacks were as dense as rain. If they didn't kill it first, the pressure on the Healers would be too great.
This monster was killed very quickly. After all, it was just a normal monster.
However, its death didn't make everyone relax. Instead, it made everyone feel despair. This was because after it died, the remaining three monsters all began to use group Shadow Arrows.
Could you imagine the scene of three monsters using group Shadow Arrows together?
After that, they wiped out many times. Under Lu Li's guidance, everyone gradually understood the pattern of these monsters.
The Anubisath Sentinels were in groups of four. Every one of them had a unique skill that could be detected by Mages' magic. When the first Sentinel died, it would share its HP and skill with the remaining three, and so on. When the last Sentinel was left, it would have at least four skills – meaning that it knew all four of the Sentinels' skills.
Every time a battle started, the four monsters would have a different skill than the previous one.
Just now, the first monster that everyone had killed had an AoE Shadow Arrow. After it died, the remaining three had learned the AoE Shadow Arrow. Moreover, the remaining three's HP had doubled.
Group Shadow Arrow wasn't used every time. Sometimes, it could be another skill.
Therefore, if a skill was the most difficult, then the Sentinel with that skill shouldn't be attacked first. Instead, it should be attacked last. This was because if it was attacked first, all four Sentinels would have the most difficult skill.
After summarizing, the order of the Sentinels' skills was as follows:
First was Fire/Arcane Reflex, Ice/Dark Reflex, and Periodic Knockback.
Among these, Fire/Arcane Reflex couldn't be detected by magic (because it was an arcane spell). Therefore, the skill that couldn't be detected was definitely Fire/Arcane Reflex. Obviously, Magic Reflex couldn't be attacked with the Reflect skill. Periodic Knockback couldn't be taunted, so they had to be careful of OT. These three skills were relatively easy, so they were prioritized.
Next was Mortal Strike, Mana Burn, and Thorns.
Mortal Strike wasn't difficult either. After all, there were so many healers watching. Mana Burn had to be dealt with by the melee classes. Thorns had to be dealt with by the ranged classes.
Next was Heal.
The more troublesome skills had a higher amount of self-healing, so they were left to the end.
Finally, there was Thunderous Strike and Group Shadow Arrow.
These two AoE skills, Thunderous Strike's effective range was 0-15 yards, while Group Shadow Arrow's effective range was 15-45 yards. Therefore, players had to pay attention to their positions. Dealing with them correctly would reduce the number of casualties. Even so, they were still left to the end. If two of them had such AoE skills, the players wouldn't be able to choose their positions, resulting in a party wipe.
