The Great Thief

Chapter 616: Voodoo Set

The items that dropped were quite ordinary.

There was Gahz’rilla’s Tooth, which was a Gold dagger. This belonged to Lu Li, but after making some comparisons, he decided to give up on it.

In addition to the Shard of the Defiler, he now had the perfect silver dagger – the Corrupted Fang. Although its damage wasn’t as high as Gahz’rilla’s Tooth, its special effects were far more powerful.

The Armor Pierce on it triggered quite often, which was a good effect regardless of whether he was attacking a monster or a person.

The Phantom didn’t trigger as often, but it was also extremely effective when it did. The main value of Gahz’rilla’s Tooth was in its critical hit effect, but Lu Li had no shortage of that at the moment.

Furthermore, levels had a big part to play when it came to determining how much critical damage was dealt.

The second item was Gahz’rilla’s Scale Armor. This was Chain Mail Armor designed for DPS players, and could be used by Hunters or Shamans. However, Lu Li decided to give this item to Sakura Memories, partially because she was part of the professional team, but also because it didn’t give any benefit to pets.

The rare material that dropped was a Threshadon Fang. It was an exquisite material used for daggers and one-handed swords.

Finally, Gahz’rilla’s Scales also dropped. This wasn’t a rare material, but just a quest item.

When they had just entered the Instance Dungeon, there was a goblin that had given them a quest to bring him the Abyss Crown and the Gahz’rilla’s Scales. There was no point in just bringing back one of the items; they needed both items to complete the quest.

But at this point, they had already completed the Zul’Farrak Instance Dungeon.

Since the Hydromancer Velratha didn’t drop the Abyss Crown, they had missed out on their opportunity to receive 5 pieces of Gold equipment. However, Lu Li’s only regret was that he only got three parts of the Voodoo Set – the Voodoo Breastplate, Voodoo Shoulderplates and a Voodoo mask. All he was missing was the Voodoo Cloak.

The special effect of the Voodoo Set was +1 to Shadow Cloak and an increased spell duration. This was very useful for Magic Professions, but Lu Li also liked another one of the set’s effects.

If he acquired the four pieces of equipment and used Cheap Shot, he could gain an extra combo point and increase his first attack’s damage by 100%.

This was a very powerful effect as Thieves would often cast Premeditation before Cheap shot to gain 4 combo points. With an additional combo point, he could double his damage.

Thieves were the strongest when they had five combo points, as their next skill had a 100% chance of being a critical hit.

Killing things in one shot could be a reality!

It was truly a pity – the cloak was already one of the harder pieces to acquire and his luck was below average. Lu Li could only hope that the Elite Group that was behind them would find it.

Moreover, for a Boss to ask for equipment like this was a little shameful.

"Go, go and keep levelling," Lu Li instructed his teammates after the Instance Dungeon had finished. He had special equipment for farming and could deal with elite monsters within 30 seconds.

"Is there any equipment?" Azure Sea Breeze couldn’t help but remind Lu Li.

The Instance Dungeon run had been unlucky for him this time. He didn’t receive anything, but he still held onto the dream of finding a Dark Gold Shield.

"Oh, yes."

Lu Li remembered that the items dropped on Water Fairy’s side would also be theirs. He quickly contacted her, hoping that a female tycoon like her wouldn’t go back on her word.

"You weren’t so fixated on the equipment. I doubt you would have been the first to congratulate me on our First Clear," Water Fairy said with a detectable wry smile on her face.

Although it was because of his own strategy, Lu Li still wholeheartedly congratulated her. "Congratulations on getting the First Clear."

Drizzle Court’s core elite group was quite skilled. They weren’t as good as the Ruling Sword’s, but after they received Lu Li’s strategy, it was only a matter of time before they defeated the Boss.

"Although it was only at Heroic Difficulty, the First Clear really does give quite a few good items," Water Fairy’s remarked, her voice filled with emotion.

Teams that had never received the First Clear reward before knew about it, but they couldn’t appreciate the extent of the reward until they received it.

It was one thing to get a First Clear on the Boss, but if you achieved a First Clear on an Instance Dungeon, everyone would receive a reward.

It could be Skill Points, Skill books, or perhaps some exquisite equipment.

"Keep working hard for next time," Lu Li said a little insincerely. He fully intended to take the next First Clear. Ruling Sword wasn’t lacking in First Clears, but there was no reason for him to let them go.

"As for the next Instance Dungeon’s First Clear, if I were to pay for it, how much would you sell it for?" Water Fairy asked directly.

For this woman, any problem could be solved as long as enough money was thrown at it.

Drizzle Court’s gains for taking the First Clear was not limited to the Instance Dungeon rewards. The most important thing was their fame as a guild. Their value must have at least doubled as there was a noticeable increase in the number of times that their name was mentioned in the community forums.

"I’m not selling it. I’m not short of money," Lu Li responded decisively.

"What a blunt rejection; you’re really something else." Water Fairy wanted to throw up.

Lu Li didn’t respond to her and revealed his true intentions.

"Where is the equipment? How do we get it?"

"Wait and you’ll get it in the mail. I wanted to invite you to have some drinks, but now…" Water Fairy wasn’t in the mood anymore. She had wanted to try and pry at Lu Li to see if he would open up.

"Well, that’s fine then. Bye," Lu Li said before quickly hanging up.

After this, they all returned to Gadgetzan. Lu Li and the others followed Hachi Chan and handed in their quests together.

After picking up the Divino-matic Rod, Hachi Chan asked the Goblins and quickly discovered that it belonged to Bilgewhizzle – Gadgetzan’s Chief Engineer.

Bilgewhizzle, a senior at the Gadgatzan Water Company, was in an unusual place on the map.

He handed out quite a few quests. For example, he asked the players to deal with the Wasteland Nomads and recapture the wells that had been occupied or destroyed by robbers. However, it was players who did Engineering that were especially unable to avoid him.

Gadgetzan Water Company’s number 1 Engineer was not a title that was given lightly.

He had a few rare engineering blueprints which attracted many players to him.

"Uncle, did you drop this?" Hachi Chan asked as she handed the item to him directly.

Not all NPCs in Dawn were good. Some races like the Goblins were quite mischievous.

Most players would try to bargain for a payment before handing over a quest item. Hachi Chanm, on the other hand, just handed the item over without saying anything.

Who else had charisma like her? The NPCs treated her like their own daughter.
