Pioneering was a very boring process, and this process couldn't be given up halfway. This was because Instance Dungeons needed to be in a special state. The first few times a day, the team would actually get wiped very easily. This was mainly because they were in this state of Instance Dungeon.
If they did something else in the middle of the process, everyone would need to enter the state of mind again after they returned.
Only when they relaxed a little during the process of First Clears wouldn't affect everyone's feel for the Instance Dungeon, and it could also allow everyone to relax. Sky Moon really had his own unique skills in some areas, and these small details were exactly what Lu Li didn't have. This was because his worldview didn't have such emotions.
There was a game to play, so why be picky?
You could enter the elite group, so why be picky?
You could participate in the First Clears, so why be picky?
Look at those who couldn't afford a helmet and had to work hard just to fill their stomachs. Look at those who played the game all day long and didn't even have a fixed team. Look at those who were substitutes from start to finish, but couldn't get in …
What was there to be unsatisfied about? They actually dared to be annoyed!
If anyone dared to say this to Lu Li, saying that he was tired of repeatedly getting wiped, Lu Li would definitely let them know what it meant to be a perpetual substitute!
Sky Moon was a bit more down to earth, so he could do things that Lu Li couldn't.
It was probably the second day of the three-guild alliance's joke meeting that Lu Li discovered to his surprise that they could actually steadily enter the third stage.
This was a very impressive achievement!
Now that they could steadily enter the second stage, which was the Boss' HP at 60%, this was an incredible thing in the eyes of other clubs that were trying to defeat Ouro at the same time.
Ouro had become the nightmare of high-end players in Dawnlight.
If the little Red Dragon was said to have caused many ordinary guilds to disband, then Ouro had the charm to make high-end clubs doubt their lives.
Another week passed, and the Donghua Cup was completely settled. The Gangnam Royals obviously weren't a match for The Capital of Glory. In the end, the Capital of Glory was the champion, the Gangnam Royals were the runner-up, and Ruling Sword was the third. They received prizes of 10 million dollars, 8 million dollars and 5 million dollars respectively.
In addition to the other ticket revenue, most of it fell into Ruling Sword's hands. They actually had 20 million dollars in real money.
The influence of Dawnlight was increasing at a frightening rate. If it was the Shadow Cup last year, the third place would not even be able to earn five million dollars. Now, a competition that was far less influential than the Shadow Cup could actually generate such a huge profit.
It was no wonder that the Capital of Glory had created a Glory Cup.
If everything went according to plan, after the Shadow Cup in the second half of the year, the Capital of Glory would organize the Glory Cup Invitational Tournament. This was a tournament that didn't care about the Clubs. It was a tournament that only focused on the individual's charisma.
In the words of some experts, the Capital of Glory was poaching its own people.
The competitors and the organizers of the tournament would both earn money. Skipping over the clubs, everyone would receive more money. The big clubs didn't want to see this happen. If the competitors were too full, they wouldn't be able to fight back.
However, the competitors didn't leave the clubs. The clubs were the soil that the competitors lived on. Even if there was no soil, the flowers would still bloom, but their vitality would be short-lived.
Lu Li really wanted to be one step ahead of Xiao Mo and create a Ruling Cup, but he didn't have the prestige to do so.
Moreover, Lu Li was someone who had experienced two Glory Cups. He knew better than anyone how successful the Glory Cup was. It was likely that in the future, besides the professional league, there would be no other competition that could compare to it.
The first Glory Cup was considered to be quite average. It was just a group of competitors performing, and the majority of fans were willing to pay for it.
For the second Glory Cup, Xiao Mo invited the top players of Dawnlight to participate. This pushed the competition to become an international event. Even the relevant departments showed great interest. If Lu Li was reborn at that time, he wouldn't have the courage to challenge the Capital of Glory no matter how strong he was.
Glory wasn't just for one person!
After the sublimation of the Glory Cup, the Capital of Glory also became the most representative club in the China region. No one could shake their position.
Lu Li always had a sense of crisis. In other people's eyes, Ruling Sword was developing rapidly, and it seemed like one day they would approach the position of the Capital of Glory, or even replace them. However, only he knew what kind of gaming empire Xiao Mo was brewing.
If it was Lu Li, he would create a Ruling Cup Professional Invitational Tournament, invite players from all over the world to form a team, and first conduct an internal screening of each country. Then, each country would participate in the competition …
Perhaps there was a slight possibility in China, but the big players overseas would just laugh at it.
When he failed, there would be a large group of people imitating this model. However, it was very likely that everyone wouldn't be a match for the Capital of Glory. Xiao Mo had a lot of money, and he also had a great influence in the international gaming circle. What did Lu Li have to compete with him?
What Lu Li could do now was take advantage of the fact that the Capital of Glory hadn't risen to the top yet, and try to stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
Lu Li didn't take a single cent of the prize money from the Donghua Cup. Other than giving it to the competitors, the rest was used to clear the Instance Dungeon. This time, all the high-end clubs were clearing Ouro, including the foreign clubs. Although everyone wasn't competing for the First Clear, once Ruling Sword got the First Clear, then the foreign clubs would inevitably recognize the fact that Ruling Sword was unbeatable in terms of Instance Dungeons.
In the previous Instance Dungeons, there wasn't much interaction between the foreign and domestic clubs.
Anyway, the clubs that got the First Clear wouldn't publish the strategy, so there was no point in paying attention. Moreover, there were some strong foreign clubs that had even gotten the First Clear of some Instance Dungeons earlier than Lu Li.
However, since the Battle of Okuyama could be played across borders, everyone wasn't limited to their own territory.
Ouro just happened to be the most typical and difficult Boss of this period.
As a result, everyone's eyes were all focused on this Boss. Many people raised Ouro to the level of national glory, and the club that could kill this Boss was like a national hero.
The third week gradually came to an end. Lu Li was slightly ahead, and for the first time, he sent the Boss into the Berserk Stage.
Sky Moon painfully discovered that he seemed to be wrong. There was no way a Bear Tank could last into the Berserk Stage, because its role in the third stage couldn't replace a Warrior. Even Deep Watersong had to admit that his endurance wasn't good.
As Weilan Haifeng's side became more and more skilled, everyone's coordination became more and more tacit. The gap between the two Tanks would only grow.
"Maybe we can try combining the two Tanks, with Weilan Haifeng as the main Tank and Deep Watersong as the secondary. He alone can replace two or three Warrior Tanks. That way, we can change the remaining Warrior Tanks to Berserkers. These Berserkers only need to know a little bit of pulling skills, and they can pull Chongzi from behind the mound. If Chongzi doesn't damage the healers and DPS, we naturally don't have to worry about not having enough DPS in the third stage."
A new strategy was proposed, one that didn't even exist in Lu Li's memory. It could be said that it was a new strategy that he and Sky Moon had painstakingly researched and explored during this period of time.
There was only one week left until everyone's estimated time of four cooldowns. Was it really appropriate to change the plan now?
It was good to have the courage to try, but changing the plan at the beginning was definitely a big taboo in Instance Dungeons.
Fortunately, this new strategy was actually a supplement to the previous two strategies. There was no complicated relationship between restarting from scratch, and Deep Watersong and Weilan Haifeng were very familiar with each other's positions. The two of them could be said to be seamless.
Ouro was a Boss that had many difficulties. For a high-level team, there were only a few main points.
One was that if there was no one within five yards, they had to dig into the ground. This had stumped countless heroes. There was also the lack of Natural Resistance in the second stage, followed by the Earth Spikes in the third stage, and finally, the various problems of the Berserk stage.
The first and second problems could both be solved with a Bear Tank.
The third stage was switched to a Warrior Tank. The Bear Tank continued to complete his advantage in solving the previous two problems. As for the problems of the Berserk stage, they could only continue to explore.
Before, Lu Li had said that they couldn't just focus on whether Weilan Haifeng or Deep Watersong was the main or the secondary. In other words, whether it was a Warrior Tank or a Bear Tank, they actually couldn't perfectly carry the heavy responsibility of tanking Ouro.
At least in the current patch, no defensive profession could deal with Ouro alone.
The fourth week was the deadline that Lu Li gave everyone.
It was said that the other clubs had also made new progress in their research on Ouro. Many Bear Tanks had begun to enter the Instance Dungeon. High-end Bear Tank equipment had been ignored at the start, but now it had become more popular than common equipment for Mages.
Even some low-end Bear Tank equipment had been affected. It was as if Bear Tanks had suddenly become a popular profession.
The game developers also made a timely statement. The general idea was that there was no such thing as the strongest class, only the strongest player. Every class had its merits.
Equipment with Natural Resistance was even better. It was said that there was an Enchanter who had mastered a formula that could enchant pants with Natural Resistance. As a result, he suddenly received an olive branch from dozens of clubs, giving him a salary of 100,000 a month.
If this had happened a few hundred years ago, everyone would have thought it was a joke.
Playing games had no future, but after a few hundred years of development, everyone had long gotten used to it. There were many examples of people who became rich from playing games, and even accumulated wealth in the early stages to develop a huge business empire.
"There are only two days left. If anyone has any good things hidden away, you can take them out now. From now on, you can eat Natural Resistance potions whenever you want. The guild will reimburse you. As long as we get the First Clear, everyone who participated in the First Clear will be rewarded with points and DKP. In addition, the club will take out two million dollars as a celebration fund for this First Clear victory. Whether it's giving out money or going out to have fun, it's all fine …"
Lu Li began to mobilize everyone before the battle. Everything was going smoothly. If they still couldn't take down Ouro, it wouldn't be a problem that time could solve.
