Chapter 819: Game Beliefs

"Thank you for your kindness. I came here to practice my Stealth," Lu Li said in a friendly tone.

The Paladins looked at each other and thought that he was joking.

"You're kidding. Even the Lich couldn't detect you; I didn't know you could practice Stealth."

This Thief undoubtedly had the highest level of Stealth they had ever seen.

There were no other Thieves in the Plaguelands at the moment, but all who did come usually had a bad experience. They would often be reduced to attacking directly, just like a Warrior.

"Wasn't I discovered just then? I had to rush ahead and attack sooner than I would have liked. That should prove that my Stealth ability is not good enough yet," Lu Li said as he shook his head.

"How do you plan of practicing it?" one Paladin asked curiously, then quickly added, "It's okay if you don't want to tell me."

"Since I'm practicing Stealth, I was looking for the strongest Anti-Stealth monsters to fight," Lu Li explained matter-of-factly.

"Anti-Stealth monsters…"

"The Lich is one of these Anti-Stealth monsters, but I managed to get past it. Dawn doesn't have any true Anti-Stealth monsters, even among the Bosses. As long as your Stealth is strong enough, you can deceive the senses of any monster."

The official description of this skill was very clear. It didn't cause the user to disappear – instead, it tricked the senses of the target.

"That's so cool!" The Paladins were clearly impressed.

"You can do it too. As long as you focus on your training, you can always improve."

The difference between an expert and an average player was that they constantly set goals and knew how to train for them.

"We'll try it in a few days. We'll be signing up for the games tomorrow," one of the Paladins mentioned.

It was rare to find someone who didn't want to improve themselves. Players who received such an offer from a master would be unlikely to reject it.

Lu Li suddenly remembered the games that they were talking about – there were some Christmas activities that were about to begin. Registration would take place on the day after tomorrow and the event would formally begin three days after that.

There was a lot of content during these festive activities, the main events were the festival games and the festival Boss.

The festival games included fishing competitions, cooking competitions, horse races, marathons and other traditional sports like virtual basketball, football, table tennis and so on.

These activities were great for everyone.

Take the marathon as an example – even if a person was a cripple in real life, they still had an opportunity to come first.

While events like traditional football did not use any equipment Attributes, virtual technology enabled a player's in game ability to reflect their physical capabilities. This meant there was no difference between playing in the game and playing in real life.

There were also some artistic competitions, like painting and singing.

As long as you had some skill, you would be able to capitalize on it. The game would either reward you with some gold coins and a medal, or at least some EXP.

If Lu Li was not mistaken, the grand prize for the marathon was a pair of Epic Boots. The grand prize for the fishing competition was also an Epic equipment…

Of course, not all events produced Epic equipment. In that case, Epic equipment would flood the game every holiday season and break the balance of the game.

There were several events that Lu Li had to attend, which included the marathons.

"Brother, can we add you as a friend?" one of the Paladins straightforwardly asked.

"Sure, but I often block random requests for things," Lu Li said, not hesitating to accept. He had a natural goodwill towards those that were innocently good and had no problem adding them as friends.

"Don't worry, we aren't the kind to ask for things for no reason," the Paladin assured as he sent his friend

request.

This was the ordinary player's life. They would do quests, then complete an Instance Dungeon and level. In doing so, they would regularly run into new players, and potentially add them as friends. Then, they could play together and enjoy themselves.

This was also Lu Li's experience in his previous life, but ever since his rebirth, things had been wildly different.

The Paladin who had been added was pulled aside by his team, who was whispering excitedly to him.

"If we need help in future… what should we do?" he asked.

"Lu Li – it's Lu Li. Look at the name," another said in cold sweat.

Even though they might not have had big dreams, most players fantasized about being friends with a top player.

"Lu Li!"

"A great God!"

"I'm just another player; don't be so polite," Lu Li said as he waved his hand and began to leave. In reality, his status put him far above an ordinary player.

He didn't come online every day to have a drink and attempt Instance Dungeons, nor did he have to go looking for players to team up with.

If their friends asked for help, most players to immediately set out to help them, regardless of what they were doing.

Fortunately, Lu Li wasn't that kind of sentimental person.

"Great God, can we join Ruling Sword? We are all level 40," the Paladins quickly called out to Lu Li as he was leaving.

Ruling Sword hadn't been upgraded recently and had begun to restrict its player intake.

Unless there was a member with authority who personally guaranteed a position, it was even more difficult for ordinary players to get into Ruling Sword than any other big guild. After all, everyone knew the great potential that Ruling Sword had.

"Sure, find a Paladin called Drifting Rain and you should be okay," Lu Li responded.

By now, Drifting Rain was almost no different from one of the Darkshire NPCs. He had been promoted to a Darkshire Vindicator and would travel with a group of Paladins to kill Undead monsters around the town.

When Lu Li met him, he was patrolling the street with several other players. Some players thought he was an NPC and was chasing him for a quest.

Each person had their own beliefs and playstyle with the game, but Lu Li neither encouraged nor condemned this. Occasionally, you could meet very respectable person like these Paladins. This was why Lu Li agreed to adding them.

These Paladins felt that their responsibility was to kill the Undead monsters of the Plaguelands, which was exactly the same as Drifting Rain's.

Moreover, they were likely very close to other Paladins of the Plaguelands. This relationship would likely be helpful for Ruling Sword in future.

Paladins who were active here had to be at least level 40.

If there was a war, Paladins would actually be more useful than Warriors. It would be very beneficial if Ruling Sword had its own huge group of them.
