Chapter 1646: Giant-Teethed Shoulderpads

He already had Improved Shield Wall. If he had Improved Shield Block as well, the top position would be undoubtedly his.

Enhanced skill books were still in extremely high demand. Only the main Tank of major clubs would have enhanced skills. These enhanced skills might not even be the core skills either.

If World’s Best Friend received this skill book on top of his original enhanced skill, he would be able to contend with Azure Sea Breeze as the number one Tank.

“Elementium Ores…”

These words seemed to slip out of Lu Li’s mouth by accident.

“Don’t want it. I’d rather contribute to the club instead of receiving some crappy stones.”

At that moment, Azure Sea Breeze wanted to slap Lu Li, but he had to present himself as someone generous and noble.

“Really?” Lu Li actually wasn’t planning on not giving Azure Sea Breeze’s stones back.

Lu Li had two lives’ worth of friendship with Azure Sea Breeze. Out of everyone in the club, Azure Sea Breeze was the closest one to him.

This was only one of their sillier days.

“It’s even realer than gold, I’m telling you! Are you giving it to me or not?” Azure Sea Breeze asked, beginning to grow angry.

“Call him daddy,” Hachi Chan chimed in, jumping onto the opportunity.

“Hachi, has your conscience been eaten away by Lu Li? I’m always so nice to you. Am I not always the first one to respond to your requests to help with quests? I also bring all of you guys out to eat in real life as well. All my income is used on bringing you guys out to eat. Hmph! I won’t bring you along next time,” Azure Sea Breeze huffed, expressing his hurt.

“Brother Breezy! Don’t!” Hachi Chan cried out, immediately going quiet.

“Alright, stop fighting. Keep looting,” Lu Li said as he gave the book to Azure Sea Breeze.

He wasn’t the type of person to play fair, so he wouldn’t split the Enhancing skill books. Although it was indeed unfair, it was much better to focus on nurturing a top-tier Main Tank than 100 second-tier Main Tanks.

After all, Boss fights were all about top offensive and defensive power.

The Main Tank’s role was to absorb all of the damage from the Boss while the Main Healer’s role was to replenish the Tank’s HP. Multiple second-rate Tanks wouldn’t be able to tank the damage if the first-rate Tank couldn’t.

“Rubbish.”

Remnant Dream glanced over the item and threw it to the side.

Lu Li picked it up and shook his head while smiling bitterly. He still stored it away to see if anyone else in the club could use it.

It was a Gold Armor for Druids. It wasn’t a great item, but it was still an item dropped by the Megalodon. This reminded him of his previous life when he had just reached level 60.

After three Gold items dropping, five Dark Gold items dropped.

No one needed or wanted Gold items in the elite squads, while Dark Gold items still had a decent market with many buyers. The Dark Gold items quickly found their new owners.

“Giant-Teethed Shoulderpads. They’re leather. I think this is Brother Lu Li’s equipment.”

The first Epic item that Remnant Dream looted was a Thief item. It was as if it was consolation for not seeing any of his items drop for a long time.

Lu Li was not reserved at all in taking them. After all, his Shoulderpads were still level 55.

Death’s Clutch (Epic): Armor +55. Agility +50. Strength +35. Critical Strike +20%. Unique Effect 1: Backstab +1. Unique Effect 2: After being ambushed, there is a chance of activating a shield that mitigates 50% damage received. Shield lasts for 3 skills. Unique Effect 3: Banishment. Prevents target’s actions for 2 seconds. Unable to attack the target during the effect of the skill. Affects one target at a time. Only able to be used on same or lower-levelled targets. Level required: 55. Durability 268/268.

This item was extremely powerful, which was why Lu Li never swapped it out.

Now, there was finally an item worthy of replacing the Death’s Clutch.

Giant-Teethed Shoulderpads (Epic): Armor +150. Agility +160. Constitution +100. Dodge +20. Slots (2). Unique Effect 1: Backhand Backstab skill +1. Unique Effect 2: Fatal Wound. Chance of delivering a fatal wound when attacking the target face on. Causes Paralysis and Bleeding damage to the target. Unique Effect 3: Chance of reflection of status effects or damage. Level requirement: 60. Durability: 360/360.

At first glance, this item was much simpler. The stats added were like comparing heaven and earth. After swapping the items, Lu Li’s HP immediately skyrocketed.

Backhand Backstab was better than Backstab. This was the truth. After all, Backhand Backstab was a final killing move.

Fatal Wound could give two status effects, which were the Bleeding effect and Paralysis. It was even stronger than Banishment. He hoped that the chance of activation wasn’t too low.

As for the last effect, this was why Lu Li decided to change items.

In his previous life, Lu Li had an item that had the same effect which brought him many benefits. His level 50-something item was used for a long time. He would even take it out and occasionally use it in his current life.

Reflecting damage wasn’t something rare.

Many people liked the effect. This was because the reflected damage was according to what the player had received. To greatly increase the reflected damage, some players would intentionally drop their defence.

Hachi Chan had a helmet before which reflected 200% damage. This effect had turned the tables during battle many times.

Lu Li wasn’t that reckless, so he didn’t necessarily pursue the effect. The one that he had been eyeing was reflecting status ailments. This meant that he could reflect knockback, stun, and freeze, among other effects. On top of this, he could also reflect damage. For example, in a battle, if he was Hexed and the reflection activated, he would be okay. Instead, it was his attacker who would be Hexed.

After equipping the new Shoulderpads, Lu Li’s shoulders looked like they were equipped with the Megalodon’s own gigantic teeth. He looked quite terrifying.

This was the typical teenage dream. However, it was a little too much for Lu Li.

The second item was an Epic Mould – the Fish Skin Robe. The properties were unviewable, but looking at Mould, they could see that it was quite a powerful item.

Everyone fought over it. In the end, Lonesome Flower was the one who took the item.

This guy was smart with his spending. He wouldn’t bid for the less-than spectacular items, but as soon as he saw a worthy item, he immediately went for it.

Now came the third and final item. It would also be an Epic item.

It was an eye-catching Azure Crystal Staff.

This staff reminded Lu Li of the legendary Apostle of Argus. It was also a staff that could blind others just from its appearance.

The Azure Crystal Staff’s properties were excellent. There wasn’t any class-requirements, so it didn’t matter if the player was a Healer or DPS, Warlock or Mage. Any magic-based class would be able to use it, so the competition for this staff was enormous.

March Rain didn’t want to bid for it. This was because she was already doing a quest for a class-specific weapon, and she was nearly done with it.

Actually, all the Priests rushed to complete the class-specific weapon quest. Besides the aesthetic features of the staff, no one was willing to fork out that much guild points to buy it.

In the end, it was Half A Cigarette from Peerless City who received this item.

This was an activity which involved all three guilds. Therefore, if all three Epic items were taken by Ruling Sword, it wouldn’t be the best. From a properties-perspective, Lu Li felt that the Fish Skin Robe was a major win, so Ruling Sword didn’t lose out at all.

Lastly, there was the quest item for Lu Li.

As such, the large-scale battle finally came to an end. Everyone was satisfied now. The Megalodon corpse was sliced up by players who had the appropriate professions, so its flesh and bones all turned into materials.
