"Actually, even if we can't get into the top 100, it's not like we won't have a chance in the future. The Shadow Cup's top 100 isn't worth these things, right?" Lu Li never believed in free lunches, so he wasn't blinded by the benefits in front of him. He needed to know the other party's intentions.
"You have to buy a ticket to get on the train," Drinking Alone said meaningfully.
"The First Clear team is already an alliance of three clubs, so it's not suitable to add another club. I think you might be disappointed," Lu Li rejected without hesitation. It wasn't that he didn't want 5% of Grand Hegemony's shares.
Grand Hegemony's scale wasn't any smaller than Ruling Sword's, and might even be larger. As a large, established guild, they had many partners. If you didn't count the money that Ruling Sword earned from various competitions, and even if you included the Strongholds, Grand Hegemony's annual revenue was at least a few times that of Ruling Sword.
However, Grand Hegemony and Drizzle Court were different. They could work together, but they couldn't become a family.
Rather than guarding against each other, it was better not to accept new First Clear team members in the first place.
"I don't dare dream of joining your First Clear team. All we need is a strong ally. We can help each other out, and we can participate in any activities together. As long as you give us the authority to buy the strategy, that's all." Drinking Alone was very sincere. "That's enough.
The reason why Drizzle Court and Ruling Sword were so close was because the two club bosses were almost a family.
How could Grand Hegemony compete with Drizzle Court?
"How about this, I agree to 30% of the shares. We can discuss the rest later." At this point, if Lu Li still rejected him, it would be too cold of him.
Dawnlight wasn't a game, and it wasn't a game that could be dominated by just one club. With the increasing competition between clubs, and the existence of The Capital of Glory, there was bound to be a situation where everyone would join forces to fight.
Ruling Sword was no longer fighting alone, but Lu Li didn't mind having another ally.
"Haha, then let's make a trip to Jiangnan later. We'll all drink until we're drunk." Drinking Alone was overjoyed. He had long since known that Lu Li wouldn't refuse, but he was still a bit excited when he actually got an affirmative answer.
Grand Hegemony wasn't because they had too much money and had nowhere to spend it. They weren't because they were born to give up their profits to others.
Ever since they received the support of large consortiums in the real world, their development seemed to be progressing at a rapid pace, but in fact, everyone was well aware of the hidden dangers within, whether it was the club's senior management or the financial backers behind the scenes. With money, you could do whatever you wanted, but there was no way to reach the top.
In terms of PVP, they lacked true top players, and in the wild, they were a pile of loose sand, easily beaten by any of the top clubs.
In terms of PVE, while others were exploring the Naxxramas Necropolis, they were still waving wads of cash and looking for people to buy guides to the Ahn 'Qiraj Temple. No matter how much money they invested, it seemed like they wouldn't be able to get past Ouro's defense line.
Without any achievements in either field, the investors would eventually give up on the grand hegemony.
If they could form an alliance with Ruling Sword, it wouldn't be a problem to buy the guide first. After all, they were all allies. Even if they couldn't do the First Clear together, they would at least be able to sell the guide.
After forming an alliance, the next time they met Ruling Sword, they wouldn't be killed so miserably. Moreover, it wasn't just Ruling Sword. Even if they met Drizzle Court or Peerless City, they would be able to trade offline with each other.
"Come, let's discuss this afternoon's match," Lu Li said as he gathered a few players together. He had to let everyone know that he was going easy on them, otherwise, people would think that he had been transported to another world.
"No way, are we going to lose the match on purpose?" Fei Houzi asked in surprise.
"Not really. Grand Hegemony is missing three points to enter the top 100. We just need to give up three points," Lu Li explained.
"I'll be participating in today's match," Moonlight said calmly.
He had been in this circle for more than 10 years, but he still couldn't accept using the competition as a trade. However, he didn't like it, but he wouldn't quit Ruling Sword just because Lu Li was making a trade with someone else.
"Alright, you can go and fight the Instance Dungeon with Little Moon Moon," Lu Li said.
No one else had such a personality, or rather, they weren't qualified to talk about personality in front of Lu Li. Fei Houzi, in particular, had a look of excitement on his face. It was obvious that he was very interested in this new thing.
"Monkey, you go up and defeat the first opponent in the arena. At the end of the match, you'll only have one-third of your HP left. The opponent will be a Thief, so make a mistake and let them control you first," Lu Li said as he began to arrange his strategy.
In this match against Grand Hegemony, if they wanted to lose naturally, it would be much more difficult than if they wanted to win.
"The second time, I didn't have much HP left, so I was a little impatient. I made a small mistake and used up my Blink skill. In the end, I had to leave the stage in tears when the Berserker cast Whirlwind." When it came to making up a script, Fei Houzi was clearly better than Lu Li.
"Mhmm, go on," Lu Li said, not bothering to continue.
"Who's the second player? Kitty Kitty, right? Boss probably won't have the face to lose," Fei Houzi said. He was smart enough to quickly come up with a plot.
Everyone just had to follow the script. They would give up two points in the arena and one point in the team competition. Three points would be enough for Grand Hegemony to enter the top 100. The points would be reset in the top 100, and if Grand Hegemony still couldn't make it, then they could only say that this was their fate.
The top 100 was a symbol of a super club. If they couldn't even make it into the top 100, how could they call themselves a super club?
The tickets for the match in the afternoon sold very well. The tickets were sold out in just a few seconds. After all, outside of the top 100, Ruling Sword had finally met a decent opponent, even if this opponent's strength wasn't on par with theirs.
Grand Hegemony had met one super club after another, but Ruling Sword was different. From start to finish, they were bullied.
"This Grand Hegemony is too miserable. They just fought against Wings of Dawn in the morning, and now they're up against Ruling Sword in the afternoon. I remember two days ago, they were defeated by The Capital of Glory (0 points)," some people began to gloat.
"Blood Dagger got three kills in the arena and didn't even get a single point in the team competition. If they're not defeated, then what are they?"
