The Great Thief

Chapter 856 - 860

Chapter 856 Level 47

On the last day of the Christmas Double EXP event, Lu Li let out a long sigh as he watched the Lv50 Experience Reindeer fall.

Level 47!

This was the result of their hard work; they had been grinding non-stop for the past few days. Besides sleeping, eating and tournaments, all their time was spent on the Christmas event. Ever since they were raided by a group of players, Lu Li even went as far as organizing some players in the area to protect their kills.

In other words, they had reserved the whole area for themselves.

"Ruling Sword has reserved this area; if you don't want to die, then leave immediately."

"This Boss belongs to Ruling Sword, so don't loiter around. If we accidentally attacked you, then that's your fault!"

"That's just how cool Ruling Sword is – if you don't follow our rules, we'll organize people to kill-steal you. I doubt any other guild would dare to try and protect you."

"Law, what is the law? Go ask Heart of War – he'd know a lot about this topic."

As an educated scholar, Square Root Three would never allow his subordinates to utter such rude statements as those above. However, it didn't matter how they said it – it was about what they were saying.

Power. Whether in real life or in a virtual game, human beings craved power over others.

No.1 on the Level Rankings! Level 47!

Based on this t.i.tle alone, Square Root Three wasn't afraid to show off their dominance.

The level rankings were still dominated by the members of Ruling Sword, who were all around Lv47 and Lv46. There were very few players from the other guilds that had reached Lv46, and the majority of celebrity players were around Lv45.

The Gaming Company was pleased with the outcome.

They had managed to even out the playing field in a fair and reasonable way. Although they still weren't sure how balanced the upcoming tournaments would be, at least Ruling Sword's advantage had been slightly decreased.

Both Ruling Sword and the players from the other guilds would be wearing Lv45 equipment. Even if Ruling Sword had a slight advantage in levels, this wasn't enough to be the determining factor.

While they would have a few more Attribute points, in the setting of a professional tournament, these differences were minute and not enough to give one side a greater advantage.

"Too bad. No more free wins for us." Square Root Three said bitterly.

"What did you expect?" Lu Li laughed.

"Brother Three, don't be angry. I think it'll be fine," Shen Wan San said as he sat down beside Lu Li. The three were having a drink together and discussing the current changes that had been introduced into the game.

"What's fine about this? I thought Dawn said that they wouldn't interrupt with the progression in the game? Isn't this what they said they wouldn't do? Screw this," Square Root Three couldn't help but swear.

They had spent 17,000 gold in-game to place themselves in a favorable position to win the Professional League. Additionally, with their previous accolades, including the Champions.h.i.+p of the Shadow cup, Ruling Sword would have definitely made it into the top 10 Guild Rankings.

Top 10 did not sound all that impressive, but it wasn't to be underestimated.

Peerless City took many years to break the Top 10, but had to completely rely on Drizzling Court now to survive. Who knew how many unfair contracts they had been forced to sign with Water Fairy? On the other hand, Ruling Sword took 3 to 4 months, which was almost a tenth of a normal guild's progression. This was completely unheard of in the history of gaming and could quite possibly be a record for the quickest rise to power.
