Chapter 1007: A Tough Spot

Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations

Lu Li knew better than anyone else that Shang Guan Yun Luo only appeared to be tough.

He had no clue about the game content and couldn’t possibly influence anything that the company decided. Even if he went and reported Ruling Sword, it most likely wouldn’t be enough for the gaming company to do something about them.

The organization behind Dawn was probably the most determined to not abuse their power as the managers of the game.

In a speech about two years later, something that an executive had said really made an impression on Lu Li. If the game company interfered on its own to pressure someone with special tactics, then the end of the game would be near.

This was what gave Lu Li his confidence that Shang Guan Yun Luo wouldn’t play dirty.

Not to mention, he wasn’t really that determined to play against the Blackrock Spire Celebrity Group. He just wanted a fair and square chance.

Why was the commanding position passed to someone else in silence?

Lu Li didn’t agree to this. His only weakness was that he had risen to his fame at a later point compared to everyone else. However, this shouldn’t have been a reason why he was excluded from being a commander.

Shang Guan Yun Luo didn’t know what Lu Li was thinking. He wasn’t familiar with Lu Li and in his eyes, he was a typical man of luck and arrogance who dared to question his decisions.

From another perspective, this was possibly a man who knew nothing at all.

If Lu Li took the other players and completed the Blackrock Spire first...

A cold shiver went down Shang Guan Yun Luo’s spine. He couldn’t imagine the consequence that would follow if that happened. He would definitely be the scapegoat for the game company.

This wasn’t the first time a celebrity group had been formed. Similar teams had been formed in the past in many different games. The focus was to advertise the concept of celebrity competitors, to raise their value and to attract more players and industries into the game.

The situation has never gone wrong before; all those who were selected were the best after all.

The gaming company had invested a lot for this and just the reward of the Legendary equips alone was enough to make everyone go crazy.

If an event with such great investments failed, the celebrity group would definitely be a joke.

If possible, Shang Guan Yun Luo wanted to seal away the accounts of everyone on Ruling Sword, but unfortunately, he didn’t have this kind of authority. In fact, he might even lose his job for bringing up these kinds of suggestions. He had no information on Blackrock Spire and couldn’t help the celebrity group with the dungeon either.

After he remained silent for a while, he sent a message to someone in the game that he was familiar with.

Shang Guan Yun Luo: Maple, you there?

Unforgettable Maple: Yo, Shang Guan! Can’t believe you still have the face to hit me up?

Shang Guan Yun Luo: Hmm, don’t be mad. I can’t help it; there were only two slots for Mages. One was definitely Sorrowless and I’ve tried to help you with the other one, but my bosses wanted Lucky Southern Persian.

Unforgettable Maple: Don’t worry about it; I never had my hopes up anyway. What do you want?

Shang Guan Yun Luo: I’m talking to Lu Li right now; I’m inviting him to join the celebrity group...

Unforgettable Maple: This shouldn’t be a problem; he won’t decline it. The celebrity group is the best kind of advertisement for both the player and their clubs.

Shang Guan Yun Luo: But he wants the commander’s position.

Unforgettable Maple: You guys are planning to give that spot to Sorrowless, right? This is tough. Based on what I understand about you guys, you’ve probably already turned him down, right? What did he say?”

Shang Guan Yun Luo: He threatened me, saying that he might take the First Clear with others first.

Unforgettable Maple: This guy... so crazy.

Shang Guan Yun Luo: What are the chances?

Unforgettable Maple: 80% or above.

Shang Guan Yun Luo: How...How is this even possible? Aren’t you overestimating him a little? I’ve got a celebrity team here, filled with the best of the best from the game.

Unforgettable Maple: My goodness, are you silly? You’re taking a bunch of competitors to a dungeon. This wasn’t the best situation in the first place, and now you’re comparing this messy team to the Xin Xin Mercenary Group.

Shang Guan Yun Luo: Isn’t he the slightest bit worried about the consequences?

Unforgettable Maple: Lu Li was born in poverty. He had nothing to begin with and they’re at the peak of their popularity right now. There isn’t a single guild who will fight them just because they lost the dungeon First Clear.

Shang Guan Yun Luo: Are you unimpressed about the celebrity group?

Unforgettable Maple: Not a single player from Majin Temple has been selected; of course I’m unimpressed. I’m not gonna lie, if Lu Li takes the First Clear and you guys gang up on him, I’ll definitely be on his side. You can only choose 15 players, so think about how many guilds are willing to side with you.

Shang Guan Yun Luo: So I can only say yes to him?

Unforgettable Maple: Say yes? What are you going to tell Sorrowless? Sorrowless isn’t a particularly agreeable person either.

Shang Guan Yun Luo went quiet; all he could do was sigh.

He finally felt like he was nothing but a joke. He couldn’t offend either parties but there was only one seat for the commander position. He had to offend one party for it regardless.

Lu Li watched as Shang Guan Yun Luo went stiff and quiet. He immediately knew who Shang Guan Yun Luo was contacting and he could also tell that things weren’t going well.

This was good news to Lu Li, it meant that Shang Guan Yun Luo was worried about his threat.

“So, Mr. Shang Guan, what do you think so far? Are we continuing this tea session, or...” Lu Li asked as he watched the performance of the dancers on the side.

Shang Guan Yun Luo looked deeply at Lu Li, then finally decided to walk back and sit down.

He still wasn’t sure, so apart from Unforgettable Maple, he also asked a few other old friends. They all shared the same conclusion – to not have the celebrity team match up against the Xin Xin Mercenary Group.

The Xin Xin Mercenary Group had always taken the First Clears. Lu LI was definitely a very talented commander.

They also had the best Main Tank, the best healer and almost all of the top 10 players in the level ranking was on their team.

Celebrity groups had been around the gaming industry for about a hundred years. If they lost to Ruling Sword, then it also meant the end of his career.

“To be honest, I have no intentions of making it hard,” Lu Li said with a smile.

“...” Damn you, that’s the most shameless thing I’ve heard. If this isn’t making it hard, then what do you have to do to make things hard? Push me to the edge?”

In the beginning, he had come with so much determination and arrogance, and now all he could do was sit back down. The tides had turned so quickly.

Shang Guan Yun Luo wanted to cry!

Lu Li saw that the timing was right, so he began to take the initiative.

“The commander problem is actually really easy to solve...”
