Chapter 830: Chapter 830: Scheming

Li Yao’s decision truly caught everyone by surprise, as many guild leaders understood that while one piece of Golden Dress might be important for a player, it was of little significance to a guild.

They created a ruckus for a simple reason—to make life difficult for Starfire, especially the guilds that bore grudges against Starfire, who were especially active in fanning the flames.

They didn’t even want Starfire to distribute the Golden Dress, not to start a war with Starfire, but merely to make other players and guilds dislike Starfire, which was their goal.

So when Li Yao said he would distribute the equipment, some people didn’t stop, but rather continued with various insults and slanders.

Criticisms were loud, such as “Starfire is trash, who gives them the right to distribute only eight pieces?” and “We all worked on the boss; the loot should be distributed to everyone.”

Li Yao ignored them and simply stated, “Fairly speaking, we did kill this boss, and the spoils of the battle were grabbed based on each person’s ability. Our willingness to offer eight pieces already shows our generosity and righteousness. But, well, I am a man who holds a grudge, so I will put the ugly words up front. When I was fighting the boss, hundreds of weaklings ambushed me. Though these people have left their Legions and guilds, everyone is no fool; tracing their former guilds through their names is not difficult.”

“So I will speak frankly, I am willing to distribute this equipment, but I will not allow those guilds that ambushed me to participate in the distribution. If everyone accepts this condition, I will immediately start the distribution of eight pieces of equipment. If not, well then, I am sorry.”

The guild leaders who had ambushed Starfire changed their expressions right away. As they had initially thought, missing out on one or two pieces of Golden Dress was not a big deal to their guild, but personally, it was a priceless treasure.

Hearing Li Yao’s words, most people expressed their agreement, as the guilds that had attacked Li Yao were in the minority, and their voices were quickly drowned out.

Everyone had a share, and in such moments, no player could resist the temptation of a piece of Golden Dress. Among the people present, apart from Li Yao the anomaly, those who owned a piece of Golden Dress were extremely rare.

“It seems that everyone agrees, then I shall declare the exclusion from distribution eligibility of the following guilds: Brilliant Guild, Tong Shan Guild, Mo Sang Guild, Ailente Guild, Lion King Guild…” Li Yao listed the names of over thirty guilds.

The members of these guilds immediately erupted in curses. The guild leaders’ faces changed, knowing core players would not be affected, but ordinary members were bound to have heavy complaints against them.

“Now I will announce the distribution rules—I will initiate a system-wide roll, everyone can participate one at a time. Additionally, members of the previously mentioned guilds are allowed to participate if they leave their guilds,” Li Yao declared.

All players were thrilled by this method, which meant everyone had a chance, and thanks to the system’s mechanism, no one could cheat. This was a principle of fair distribution.

The excluded guilds were in turmoil.

Flaming Red Lips took a deep breath and said, “This Prairie Fire is really too cunning, coming up with such a scheme.”

Her companion, You You, expressed her confusion, “I don’t see much issue; couldn’t they just leave the guild, roll, and then rejoin after the game?”

Flaming Red Lips shook her head and replied, “Silly sister, it’s not that simple. Those who leave the guild, even if they rejoin later, are probably going to be sidelined and won’t be part of the main team. This will create divisions between the guild members and them, but the guild has no choice but to act in this way. However, if they aren’t readmitted, that would mean direct loss. He’s really malevolent.”

“The guild leader could simply order not to let anyone leave, right?” another female player suggested.

“This is Golden Dress we are talking about. It’s a lot of money even if not sold, and when it comes to gaming, who doesn’t trust their luck? Certainly, many will leave the guild,” replied Flaming Red Lips.

As Flaming Red Lips anticipated, many players left their guilds, and various channels experienced a brief period of insulting each other. But as soon as Li Yao brought out the first piece of Golden Dress, the arguments stopped, and everyone focused on the Golden Dress, preparing to roll.

Red Flame Armor

Quality: Golden Legend

Craft: Plate Armor

Location: Chest Armor

Armor: 15%

Stamina: 55

Strength: 54

Agility: 53

Force: 5%

Burning, the body burns with red flames, dealing damage equal to 10% of the wearer’s health every two seconds to enemies within 25 yards.

Red Flame Armor, initiates a shield of 100% of the wearer’s total health for 5 seconds. After five seconds, the remaining shield’s value is subtracted from the wearer’s health. Cooldown time: 1 minute.

Equipment requirement: Stamina 300

Everyone’s eyes bulged with desire, for this was an excellent mt dress, not to mention its attributes: the armor provided a percentage boost and a 5% increase to strength.

The effect, you must know, was critical for a good tank primarily measured by health. If it’s a super health buff, a 10% damage value is quite phenomenal, moreover being of an AoE nature, it could greatly elevate an mt’s output.

The second effect might seem foolhardy as it deducts health, but from another angle, it was a lifesaving shield, akin to a holy healing, particularly effective against powerful bosses. The key is precisely because it has a drawback, making this skill’s cooldown very short, a mere minute’s use each time, which is simply incredible.

All players’ eyes turned red. This equipment, even if not used personally, could make one fabulously rich overnight, as Golden Dress was now priceless.

“Enough talk, the countdown starts now in the war channel to roll, whether killed or present, as long as in the Legion, one can roll, limited to one roll, and must be done within ten seconds.”

321…10.9.8…

Li Yao started the countdown, and the entire Legion channel boiled over.

More than ten million participated in the roll, and several hundred thousand rolled the maximum score of a thousand.

Then Li Yao had these high rollers roll again, after several rounds of competition, ultimately a player from a small guild won.

Li Yao, in front of everyone, transferred the equipment to this player, who was ecstatic. As countless people watched in envy, some wealthy players had already started making offers.

“Everyone, stay calm; there’s another piece of Red Flame Armor. Let’s start the second roll now.”

This fair format drove everyone wild, giving everyone a chance, which is truly the most attractive opportunity.

It’s a lottery that tests one’s character, one of the biggest charms of gaming, once humorously remarked that ‘some lottery is fair.’

When the second piece of equipment was once again rolled to by an ordinary player from a small guild, quite a few players from the previously banned guilds left their guilds.

The guild leaders were somber, finding Li Yao’s methods utterly repugnant, yet they were not directly in the wrong and couldn’t erupt in anger.

After all, the temptation of Golden Dress was simply too great…
