Chapter 1792: I Have Money

“I’ll have people go and try and find out as much as possible and report back on the position of the remains of this sunken ship soon.”

Wandering didn’t dare to slack off either.

This time, it was Blood Red War Flag who survived against Ruling Sword. What could they do next time? Blood Red War Flag had been beaten until they were scarred, so next time, it would be difficult to gather such a group of allied forces.

“If you can get some info, that would be great, but if you can’t, don’t force it. Glory Capital’s City Smoke is no idiot,” Lu Li reminded. City Smoke was Glory Capital’s main messenger. It was said that in real life he was a detective, so his reporting skills in the game were among the best.

If you always played with fire, you were bound to get burnt. In the process of investigating, it was easy to expose yourself.

Although Glory Capital had the Infernal, they couldn’t have had much left. From the video, their few Strongholds were defended with great difficulty, and there were very few opportunities to use the Infernal. If things were going well for them, it would probably not be so risky.

The level 70s would be opened up in the following weeks. Soon, there wouldn’t be any more Stronghold battles.

By the level 70s, the Azeroth mainland would be joined to the Outland, and after travelling to the new map, Lu Li would have a way to deal with this sort of Infernal.

An Infernal’s natural enemy was the Fel Reaver!

Of course, the quest for the Fel Reaver wasn’t easy to complete.

“What we have to do now is to integrate those who are strong enough to participate in the Stronghold battle. We need at least three Elite teams, and as for Core Elite teams, we’ll need at least three more,” Lu Li said seriously.

No external forces could be relied on. The truly reliable way to go forward was still to use military power.

Glory Capital defended four Strongholds and they were actively attacking another one. It wasn’t that Sorrowless was powerful, but that over many years, they had developed an army of top level players.

Although there wasn’t an Infernal, Lu Li still didn’t think that Blood Red War Flag was able to defeat three Strongholds. If Glory Capital didn’t have enough power, it didn’t matter if they had an Infernal.

“Three Elite groups?! This will be more difficult than normal.”

Wandering thought Lu Li was crazy.

In recent times, Ruling Sword had been flourishing greatly. They had set up the branch guild Judgement Spear, crafted a vault of Elite teams and had money flowing like water. There were ten Elite groups here in the main guild, and in the branch guild, there were two. In total, they had raised up 12 Elite teams.

However, because they had developed too quickly, the level of the Elite groups was very low.

Of the 12 Elite teams of Ruling Sword, apart from the Core Elite group in the main guild, the rest were no match for the Elite teams of any other of the top clubs.

If you disregarded factors like morale and enthusiasm, the individuals of the Gangnam Royals’ Elite team were stronger than Ruling Sword’s.

With 365 days in a year and 3650 days in 10 years, their screening and refining process had been completed over a course of many long years and months.

However, there was also no team on earth like Ruling Sword’s First Clear team, which had completely dominated Glory Capital and Blood Red War Flag.

Beginning with just one Core Elite team at the start, then having expanded to three now, Wandering thought Lu Li was crazy. Either that or things had developed too smoothly recently, and he was becoming full of himself, no longer content with the slow, wretched growth they had experienced so far.

“I’m not crazy.”

Lu Li knew what his eyes were saying, then continued in a smug voice, “I have money now – a lot of money.”

“Money?”

“Grand Hegemony paid me damages of 200 million dollars. Isn’t that strange? Haha, they actively gave it to me. I didn’t have any choice but to accept,” Lu Li laughed, expressing how polite he was.

Wandering would be an idiot to believe him. It was only after he listened to Lu Li’s full description that he felt he had underestimated Lu Li.

When this sort of thing was spoken from Lu Li’s mouth, of course it would bring with it his subjective views. In his story, he was the tragic figure, being betrayed by his closest ally. He had been hurt so terribly badly, and in the end, Grand Hegemony had to beg him before he would receive the money.

“This was your own money,” Wandering emphasized. He couldn’t even be bother to complain about Lu Li anymore. To say that he was shameless was simply praise to him.

“At this time, what’s the point of speaking about if it’s my own money or not my own? There’s still the prize from the competition – take that all out too. There’s just too much of a difference between us and Glory Capital. If we don’t go faster, Blood Red War Flag’s exit is going to be our future, and we will suffer even more.”

Actually, Blood Red War Flag’s loss was just a single Stronghold.

If Glory Capital used their Infernal army, Ruling Sword would lose at least two Strongholds, with a possibility of losing a third. No matter how rich their alliance was, they would still be hung out to dry by Glory Capital.

“Since it’s like that, let’s all get some money together. There’s no problem for us to raise 300 million dollars. Then, we can discuss how to manage it and use this money where it’s needed most,” Wandering said.

Sometimes, Wandering really looked up to Lu Li. Now, this guy could be considered a massive multimillionaire, but he never had any thought of enjoying it.

A typical person would have spent that money on all sorts of cheap pleasures ages ago. However, Lu Li lived in a room where they had to make regular payments. Jiangnan City sold it to him cheaply. To get in and out, he took a taxi. He didn’t even have a scooter. What he wore were those cheap clothes that were just a little better than what was sold on the side of the street, and he ate the simple food that Lu Yin cooked.

He never had more than a million in his bank account. Wandering really suspected that Lu Li was absolutely obsessed with this number – one million. He didn’t have more or less than this amount of money, but just kept one million.

The only time he spent money was on his sister, but Lu Xin was also such a smart, frugal child, so their expenses never reached a thousand in a month.

All the money that Lu Li had earnt over these past two years was all reinvested in the club.

The other players had earned their fair share through prizes from competitions, and endorsements for products. Advertising companies had been chasing Lu Li’s people for a long time already. Even Hachi Chan and Remnant dream were rich kids from multimillionaire families too. Wandering felt that he couldn’t let this one person, Lu Li, give so much of his money. If everyone gathered some money together, then it would look more like a team effort.

However, the Core Elite team wasn’t the same as normal Elite teams. You couldn’t just create one with a bit of money.

Otherwise, Sorrowless could have just put together a few hundred Core Elite teams and he would be the undisputed king.

After some discussion, under Cat’s dad’s advice, Ruling Sword would hold their own internal competition, and hopefully, they could sort out their members.

One type they would look for were top players who had been overlooked. After all, in a large-scale guild with tens of thousands of players, it was very normal to have talent fall through the cracks. Another type of person was someone who had a lot of untapped potential. This type of people were the ones that Cat’s dad was aiming for in this competition. Spending time and money on this group of people, equipping them with items and skills, then finding a few top players to train them would make them the cream of the crop in no time.
