Chapter 108: Why Not Carry a Wu Hook

Hearing Wu Yu's words, the young man also said with a depressed look, "Sigh, who's to say otherwise? I thought a big listed company's factory would be so good, but this is it?"

"I chatted with some colleagues from the Garment factory yesterday. They all moved into the staff dormitory en masse yesterday."

"They even video-called me to show off that big LCD TV and the air conditioning. It's infuriating."

An older brother on the upper bunk chimed in, "Exactly. I can't stay in this place anymore. With food like that, they dare to claim it's the best? I really don't know what they're thinking."

"I really want to eat a piece of the Garment factory's braised pork."

"Day sixteen of missing the Garment factory cafeteria!" the young man added.

"Day sixteen of missing the Garment factory staff dormitory. I really want to move in!"

Wu Yu sneezed again and joined the chant, "Day sixteen of missing President Chen."

I really want to go back to sales. That's my home turf. Sigh! Sigh! Sigh! Several consecutive sighs echoed in the dormitory. …

Late at night, in a rented apartment, Jiang Jiu sat in front of his computer, holding a cup of instant noodles, his eyes fixed intently on the screen.

It had been over half a month. Logically, the third piece of equipment should have dropped by now, but it still hadn't.

He had a feeling that the equipment drop rate had been lowered again. But so what if it was lowered? Jiang Jiu smiled confidently. "Do you really think the name Lord Gan Jiu is just for show?"

He slurped up the rest of the instant noodles and prepared to continue grinding for equipment. Ring, ring, ring! The phone beside him suddenly rang. It was from Brother Hao; he hurriedly answered. "Brother Hao, what's up?"

"What are you doing? Do you have time?" "Grinding for equipment. I feel like the drop rate has been lowered again."

"Don't doubt it, it has definitely been lowered," Chen Cong said with certainty. He had acquired 8 pieces of equipment in less than a month before, but in these past two weeks, he had only managed to acquire 4 pieces. And two of them were duplicates.

So, up to now, he had only managed to collect eight pieces of the Dragon Slaying Set; he was still missing two pieces.

"Stop talking nonsense. Stop grinding for equipment and come over here to lead the World Boss raid. From now on, guild wars and World Boss raids will all be under your command. Fifty thousand a month. As for the Dragon Slaying Set, I'll just pay someone else to grind for it."

Chen Cong spoke quickly. Jiang Jiu was a hardcore gamer and extremely talented, with a deep understanding of game class roles and skill mechanics.

In the past, whenever Jiang Jiu led the guild in team battles, as long as the strength gap between the two sides wasn't too large, the winning side was always theirs.

That was why he valued Jiang Jiu so much, and why he was willing to pay a higher price to buy equipment from him. He had just organized guild members to take on the World Boss twice, and both times they failed. There was no other choice; he had to get Jiang Jiu to come over.

"Alright, Brother Hao." Jiang Jiu agreed immediately. He had known Brother Hao for many years. Because he was obsessed with games and didn't have a job, Brother Hao had helped him a lot. Even if he wasn't paid, he would still go if asked to lead the World Boss raid.

Moreover, by occasionally browsing forums and game chat channels, he had some understanding of the World Boss. The biggest difficulty with this boss was its extremely high attack power. A single shield warrior couldn't withstand it at all; it required multiple shield warriors to rotate and hold aggro. However, during the process of holding aggro, the slightest mistake could result in the boss's attacks instantly killing the backline.

Therefore, the key to leading this time was the timing of holding aggro. …

[World Announcement: The (Rich to the Heavens) guild has achieved the first kill of the World Boss, Black Armor Turtle. All participating members have received the (Black Armor Turtle First Kill) title.] A banner slowly drifted across the top of the game interface. Over and over again.

Huh! The Rich to the Heavens guild, World Boss first kill. Interesting. I didn't expect that on my first day back to Tianlong, I'd run into an old rival showing off.

Inside a luxury presidential suite, Du Ziteng watched the banner announcement drifting across the game interface and smiled slightly. He seemed a bit nostalgic. But since I'm back, I can't let you steal the spotlight all by yourself.

He immediately opened the guild interface; the guild's name was (Lingyan Pavilion). He was stunned to suddenly find that quite a few of his former guild members were online.

He had only downloaded the game again out of curiosity after accidentally seeing news about Tianlong's reforms on a forum. He didn't expect that upon entering, he would see his old rival getting the World Boss first kill, and also see that many of his former guild members were still online.

A familiar feeling instantly washed over him; this scene felt just like when Tianlong was at its peak. He quickly typed a message in the guild chat room, "Brothers, your King has returned."

Very quickly, the guild chat room exploded. "Holy crap, Brother Teng is back." "Brother Teng, you've finally returned. That (Rich to the Heavens) guild has been acting so arrogant lately."

"Exactly, in the last few days, our Brothers have often been hunted down in the wild by people from (Rich to the Heavens)." "Brother Teng, if you hadn't come back, I was planning to spam your phone." "Welcome back, King Teng." "Welcome back, King Teng." "…"

Du Ziteng looked at the chat room with some emotion. King Teng was his gaming ID. His favorite dynasty was the Tang Dynasty, which was why the guild was named Lingyan Pavilion. Because Lingyan Pavilion was built by the Tang Dynasty to honor meritorious officials. And King Teng was a fantasy from his younger, edgier days.

At the time, his favorite poem was one by Li He: "Why not carry a Wu Hook, to conquer fifty states of the frontier? If you ascend the Lingyan Pavilion for a moment, which scholar among them is not a marquis of ten thousand households?"

With nostalgia in his eyes, he typed a message in the chat room, "You all keep playing for now. I'll familiarize myself with the game, and then I'll lead you… to fight back."

After sending the message, he closed the guild interface. He began to slowly familiarize himself with the changes in Tianlong. When he quit the game, the level cap was 150; now it was 160. It looks like I still need to level up!

He clicked around the game interface again, and finally, his gaze settled on the equipment with a 100,000 guaranteed value. To fight back, having inferior equipment definitely wouldn't work. He had just learned that the best equipment was the Dragon Slaying Set, but the Dragon Slaying Set had to be dropped from wild monsters, and the drop rate was extremely low.

He looked at the combat power ranking; only one ID, (Xue Luo), possessed the full Dragon Slaying Set. He didn't know if this (Xue Luo) was an old rival who had changed their name, or a new big shot.

The second highest combat power was his old rival (I am a Local Tyrant), who only had eight pieces of the Dragon Slaying Set. Even he hadn't managed to collect the full Dragon Slaying Set by now; it was clearly impossible for him to collect the equipment in a short time.

As for the equipment one tier below the Dragon Slaying Set, that would be this equipment with a 100,000 guaranteed value and another substitute piece that was free but required grinding. Grinding for equipment was too much of a waste of time. Why waste time on things that could be solved with money? Especially when it was only 100,000 yuan. Thinking of this, Du Ziteng directly opened the game's recharge interface.
