Scraping Materials Together
Scraping Materials Together
"Yep, so they still belong to Death Waltz. But in a few days, they'll belong to us," Half-Life Crystal nodded her head.
"How did you convince them?" Lu Li was puzzled.
"Money of course," Half-Life Crystal said in a matter of fact tone.
Alright, there wasn't anything wrong with that. Money could make devils grind, so long as more money is given, players could also turn into fighters.
Empty Forest was also a hunter. He used to train in a club's training camp for newcomers. Apparently, his results were excellent at the time. But he was jaded before he even debuted and since then became a long-term scattered player.
He frequented the Glory Ranking. He had long-term PVP value. He also did arrest quests from day to night.
Midnight Chorus was the enemy of the famous club Imperial Secret Service. Both sides held a grudge for many years – a scattered player that made an enemy of a large guild for many years and still live happily showed how strong his abilities must be.
Holy Thunder was a famous Mage master. He was also a well-known rich second gen and was known for owning many limited-edition luxury cars. He had bought equipment from Lu Li in the early days of the game.
The rest were also a majority of well-known masters.
No wonder Half-Life Crystal was so confident they could hold the stronghold.
"No matter if it will work or not, we have to try. The voices of the people below are pretty loud. I can't hold it down much longer," Half-Life Crystal explained.
"It's not only the people below who are pretty loud right?" Lu Li smiled.
"So, is it yes or no from you?" Half-Life Crystal felt embarrassed after being exposed. The little girl who used to be shy when making small demands had now grown into a hegemon.
"I'll say yes. Within three months, I'll get you a stronghold. Your people still aren't strong enough," Lu Li thought about it and suggested, "With someone like Chu Shi around, don't go messing around. Stronghold battles aren't easy to handle."
"No worries, Chu Shi is the absolute commander, I won't poke my nose in stuff regarding the stronghold battle," Half-Life Crystal knew what Lu Li was worried about.
The materials that Lu Li wanted were brought over by people very quickly.
Just medicines alone were a very large amount. Of which were 330 000 Stranglekelp, 260 000 Purple Lotus, 200 000 Arthes Tears.
Stranglekelp sounded like it only existed on Strangle Island, but it could be found beyond Strangle Island. Any ordinary shallow seashore had it, it just needed to be looted at a regular time. For example, the seashores near Rattan City and the seashores near Wetlands. There wasn't as much compared to Strangle Island.
However, to ask for 330000 at once was impossible to be prepared in a short amount of time. In fact, there wasn't much on the market either. This type of medicine was widely used in making magic potions, defensive agents, agility medicines, breathing agents and so on. Basically, the amount that is available is usually all used up.
Purple Lotus was even rarer to find in distribution. In comparison, only places with massive monsters like Strangle Valley, Hinterlands, Tanaris and Azshara had some. Zul'gurub had a lot too, but all the monsters in there were pretty dangerous so it wouldn't be easy to gather it there.
Arthes' Tears was even rarer.
Back then, Arthes led an army to Stratholme and found that the inhabitant of the city were already infected by the plague. Under the circumstance where they couldn't be cured, Arthes had no choice but to slaughter the whole city. But Uther the Lightbringer clearly opposed. In order to keep Uther's army to fight against the Dreadlord, Arthes used his position as the kingdom's heir to dismiss Uther. However, the Silverhand left with Uther and even Jaina left Arthes too. He wept tears of sadness because no one understood his pain and he then commanded the army to slaughter the people he had once sworn to protect.
These tears, along with the tears from Andorhal, became small purple flowers and was known was Arthes Tears today.
It is precisely because of this, you could only loot it from Andorhal and Straholme. The amount of 220,000 would be a headache for any force.
There were also three types of ores: 900,000 copper ores, 280,000 iron ores and 240,000 thorium. Even though it seemed as if there was a higher demand for ores from just the amount. This was not as hard to get as the medicines. There were ore mines everywhere. 900,000 wasn't that much, even 9,000,000 could be easily found. Only Thorium was considered a bit rare. The rest of the other groups could be gathered within a few minutes.
Leather was pretty much the same. There was a demand of 1,800,000 light leather, 1,100,000 medium leather, 800,000 thick leather. Don't be scared by these numbers! In fact, they weren't even worth much added altogether. As long as everyone got their own hunters to participate, these materials could be collected very quickly.
The materials for fishing and cooking were put together, 140,000 Rainbow Fin Albacores, 200,000 Raptor Flesh, 170,000 Spotted Yellowtails. These were all the requirements of the Alliance. The difficulty of collecting was pretty much the same. Each major club should all have stock. There were many small branch clubs that didn't have many people. But the guild warehouse had stacked all sorts of materials. Maybe not all of it could be brought out at once, but it was much easier to gather.
In theory, Ruling Sword couldn't have too many materials in its reserves. However, Lu Li was someone who was reborn so there was no need for any explanation. He had begun collecting these materials a long time ago. There were also special material collection quests in Ruling Sword's guild quests. These materials were valid all year round.
In addition, the Life Professional Alliance provided a portion of the required materials. Lu Li had brought people to go straight to Steel Stove Castle's military zone to hand in the quest.
Everyone then saw the group of people from Ruling Sword coming in great strength.
The materials required wasn't an amount that one or two people could just put together. There were rewards for submitting the materials. There was no way that Lu Li would keep all of the reward for himself.
In terms of one person: the first donation was rewarded ten badges and one treasure box. Then the later donation rewards were decided by the grade of donation materials - one badge and one treasure box for each low-grade material, five badges and one treasure box for each intermediate material, and ten badges and one treasure box for each high-grade material. The donations were in terms of groups. The treasure box had a chance to unlock Dark Gold equipment. Badges could be used to exchange prestige, prestige could be used to learn enhanced skills, or exchange to prestige or equipment.
There was a certain chance of uncovering Dark GolD equipment, so you shouldn't have too much hope. This was especially so for someone like Lu Li who had such bad luck.
