Chapter 183: Causing Jealousy (Additional chapter for 1200 monthly votes)
The equipment obtained from the same instance usually has the same name.
Take the Corpse King Shield for example, it can be dropped in normal instances, elite mode, and certainly in master mode.
But while they all carry the same name, Corpse King Shield, their properties differ greatly.
Therefore, there is a note attached to the name of the Corpse King Shield. If it’s from normal mode it simply called Corpse King Shield, whereas if it’s from elite mode, it would be marked Elite.
Though the name is the same, its quality and properties can vary greatly.
The main-line instances drop rare equipment main-line instances are quite popular because they are relatively easy to obtain and very effective, making them highly sought after by players.
Li Yao took a deep breath and said, “We are like a semi-formal team, we divide the loot according to need. Fruit Knight and Big Stone can roll for it. But, I would like everyone in the live broadcast to bear witness. For the sake of clearing the instance, if Big Stone gets the Corpse King Shield, during this exploratory period he will let Fruit Knight use it first, and then return it to him after the instance.”
In Li Yao’s heart, he naturally leans in favor of his own team’s Fruit Knight. If Big Stone were also part of his team, he would’ve already given the shield to Fruit Knight without saying a word.
But that’s not possible now, which is the downside of borrowing from others. This makes Li Yao more eager to form his own team.
“Big Stone.” Sky and Sea raised his eyebrows slightly.
Big Stone’s eyes glinted with a hint of struggle, and he took a deep breath before speaking, “Since the commander has mentioned that even though we are a non-regular team, we strive to be formal, we should follow the regular team’s rules. DPS gear can be rolled for using guild points, but the main healer and main tank have priority. I’m not eligible to roll for the Corpse King Shield. However, if there’s more general tank gear, I do have the right to roll for that.”
Li Yao was taken aback and said, “That doesn’t seem appropriate.”
Sky and Sea shook his head and said, “Brother, in front of so many viewers, you can’t go back on your words. Getting invited by you to this instance exploration, I’m already taking advantage. I didn’t even get to say thank you. Might as well contribute something to express my gratitude. You’re trying to form a guild too, let’s follow the guild rules. But, if there’s DPS-specific heavy armor dropping, I won’t hold back either.”
“Alright, let’s follow the guild rules.” Li Yao let out a breath of relief. The biggest enemy in a team is usually disagreements on loot division. Who knows how many good teams have disbanded over these disputes. Sky and Sea really endorses fair play.”
“Fruit, your shield is far better than Big Stone’s. Change to this one, and let Big Stone use yours for now.” Li Yao gave the shield to Fruit Knight.
“No problem, I might as well give it to him.” Fruit Knight directly traded the shield to Big Stone.
“I’m not going to be polite then.” Big Stone switched to the new shield too.
“Pupil-pupil, next one.” Li Yao said.
“Boss Ocean is indeed living up to his fame.”
“Ocean God really upholds integrity, I’m speechless.”
The atmosphere in the live chat room was affected too, many have had friends falling out over in-game gear, touching the hearts of many viewers.

Another piece of epic-level gear has made the viewers jealous. It’s truly worthy of the master level.
“Leather armor, this goes to Shadow Dance.” Li Yao directly gave the gear to Shadow Dance.
“T-this, boss, its effects would be much greater if you use it.” Shadow Dance’s hands were trembling as he held the epic-level gear. This was the most valuable gear he had ever owned.
“My helmet’s attributes are better than this. It’s only fair that you have this.” Li Yao stated the fact. He already received a valuable skill earlier.
“Thank you, boss.” This was the first time Shadow Dance had experienced the benefits of being in a team, which further solidified his decision to join Li Yao’s guild.

“This is a DPS-oriented mage robe. Except for the two healers, all who wear cloth armor can roll.” Li Yao said, considering that the primary attribute for healers is spirit, and intelligence is secondary.
In addition to Ice Mage Li Jie and Necromancer Qin Feng Yi, Pupil-pupil also insisted she could roll. In the previous life, elemental shamans wearing cloth armor were quite common.
This robe has a strong special effect. It effectively increases the maximum health by 15%, very rare. For squishy mage classes, it can be a life-saver in critical moments.
Li Jie and Qin Feng Yi rolled, and the result was Li Jie rolling ninety-five points, beating Qin Feng Yi’s sixty-six points.
“Well then, I won’t stand on ceremony.” Li Jie received the robe.
“Pupil-pupil, is there more?” Li Yao asked.
“There is more.” Cute Pupil-pupil took something out.
Immediately, everyone’s eyes lit up, especially Guardian Angel’s. He almost popped his eyes out.
Then his eyes turned green, and he wished he could hug Pupil-pupil and give her a peck on the cheek.

“Pupil-pupil, no doubt about it, loot-master extraordinaire.” Even Sky and Sea gave her a thumbs up.
“But, why is there no equipment for me.” naive Pupil-pupil said with a pouting face.
The crowd burst into laughter, Li Yao distributed the loot to Guardian Angel.
“Damn it, I shouldn’t have dedicated myself to being a bard.” Da Vinci also had red eyes.
Leaving the top-tier attributes of this piece of equipment aside, the final special effect is like a divine skill. It could prove extremely helpful during battle or instance explorations.
For example, in the earlier situation, if Fruit Knight was instantly killed, with this effect, Fruit Knight could get up and fight for another five minutes. The situation wouldn’t have been so perilous then.
“There’re also two gold coins and a gemstone bag, I will keep these.” Li Yao took the money and the gemstone bag for himself, typically these would be confiscated by the guild.
“Our team has become much stronger. Let’s go, onto the second boss.” Sky and Sea was also drooling. Especially for the weapon, he yearned for it extremely, otherwise, he wouldn’t be bragging all day carrying a low-level epic weapon around.
“Master level difficulty, oh how refreshing.”
“So many great drops, I just checked the loot from others’ elite-level instance explorations, the properties are worse by more than one grade.”
“Well, isn’t that an understatement? Elite mode can’t compare with Master mode. Those poor souls are overjoyed thinking they’ve got top-tier gear, however…”
“Don’t say any more, I can’t wait to see their faces with their false hope of boasting turned into utter shock.”…
