Chapter 627: Gaining EXP Even After Dying

Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations

Darkmoon Card: Void (Special): Instant Use. Has a 50% chance of Revive. Upon a successful Revive, HP and Mana regen increased by 20%, EXP gain increased by -5%-10%. Number of uses remaining: 5/5. Effective when item is placed in backpack. Equipment requirement: Level 10.

Lu Li was floating through the sea, his body being carried through the tides when he opted to use his Darkmoon Card.

There wasn't a 100% chance for him to revive with it, and there was another matter he needed to deal with if he did.

Would he gain or lose EXP after this?

As he confirmed its use, a card appeared in Lu Li's mind. It was white on one side and black on the other, and it was spinning rapidly.

Lu Li had heard about the Darkmoon Card and knew that if it stopped on the white side, the revive would be successful. If it stopped on the black side, the revive would be unsuccessful.

This process took some time and it felt like an eternity to Lu Li.

As the card slowed down, he nervously stopped breathing. The Darkmoon Card could only be used five times, so if it was unsuccessful, it would be quite a big loss. Aggro'Gosh's arrow had been completely unexpected.

He was a Warrior, yet he used a bow and arrow?

While his mind wandered, the card had stopped spinning. Lu Li felt his vision fill with an endless white light as he woke up from the darkness.

He then felt the water in his nostrils.

Cough Cough…

Lu Li turned over and quickly transformed into a Seal.

His first instinct upon reviving wasn't to leave the area, but to check his EXP…

Did he lose or gain EXP!?

He clearly remembered that he was originally at level 40 and 6.5% EXP. He knew that he could only lose 5% from the Darkmoon Card at most, but who would want that when they could gain up to 10% EXP?

13.8% EXP!

He had gained 7.3% EXP! Lu Li let out a long and relieved sigh.

Gaining 7.3% EXP was already quite a bonus, considering that he had died and should have lost 5% EXP.

Lu Li felt a weight lift off his shoulders and he swam to the coastline as quickly as he could.

The creatures in this area of the sea were not ones he could provoke. Although nothing had come looking for trouble in the last half-an-hour, that didn't mean he was safe. However, he was a little curious to see what would happen if he tried to aggro a few monsters.

The sounds of fighting at the Gorgrom Camp could be heard all along the coast!

The angry Ogres had already been pushed right up against the shabby walls. Countless Alliance players could be seen flooding in and outflanking the entire north side.

The Ogres and the Horde were locked in a devastating battle.

Numerous white lights lit up as players died and their corpses fell to the ground. There were wild colors shining all over as a myriad of skills were cast. There were no guilds or parties any more – there were only enemies!

Anyone who could hurt you was an enemy!

Lu Li couldn't see much beyond that, but as he rushed to try and get through the gates, he lost half of his HP and casted Gale Steps in a panic to quickly get away.

When he thought about the distressing idea of losing any of his equipment, Lu Li thought it was probably better to just wait outside.

In terms of contribution, had anyone done more than him? The Ogres had now let Lu Li go and were charging at the Gorgom Camp. This charge had clearly been sent by Lu Li.

He messaged Square Root 3, who was remotely commanding the forces from outside the camp.

This situation didn't require much commanding; they were free to fight however they liked. The Gorgrom Camp was like a large city, but with tens of thousands of players flooding in, there would definitely be some congestion.

When Lu Li found Square Root 3, he discovered that he wasn't the only one there.

In addition to Square Root 3's escort, there were other high-level members from the other major guilds. There were also many experts like Hornet's Nest, Innocent Child and Unforgettable Maple.

Majin Temple was run by their president, but most things were handled by Unforgettable Maple.

"Lu Li, did you pull these monsters? Why didn't you say anything? We lost quite a few players to them," asked Heart of War, the President of the Gangnam Royals. It wasn't clear as to whether he really did lose many players, or if he was just trying to find a fault with Lu Li, but he had an ugly look on his face.

"Why? Do you want to take revenge on me?" Lu Li turned and retorted aggressively.

"I…" Heart of War shut his mouth and didn't continue speaking. He was a level 30 Paladin, so no matter how good his equipment was, he wouldn't stand a chance against the level 40 Lu Li. He would be lucky to be killed in one hit.

"Don't you think it's a bit shameful to challenge a non-combatant? How about we fight," the Thief expert Innocent Child scolded as he stepped forwards.

Everyone knew that there was some tension between this star racer and the president of the Gangnam Royals. Even though Innocent Child didn't like Heart of War, he couldn't stand by and allow Lu Li to publicly insult the Gangnam Royals like that.

"Oh. I don't fight sissies," Lu Li bluntly said.

"Damn you – you're a sissy. Your whole family are sissies!" Innocent Child yelled as he charged at Lu Li and didn't even bother going into Stealth.

The thing that he hated most was being called a sissy. No one really knew for sure, but whether he was actually gay was a matter continually discussed by the public.

He didn't have to fight back, but with so many players around he couldn't just give up.

Lu Li didn't go into Stealth either. He took out his daggers and the two Thieves just went at it. In a short amount of time, both players demonstrated a remarkable amount of skill.

Innocent Child was a dagger expert. In previous games, he wouldn't always play a Thief, but he would always use a dagger if the option was available. If a game didn't have a dagger, he would refuse to play it.

As for Lu Li, he had actually used daggers in real life before.

Being a child from a poor home, he lived in a kind of environment where he needed to know how to defend himself.

From a technical point of view, the two players were quite similar. However, this was a game, and the balance of a game was different.

Lu Li's gear was undoubtedly better than Innocent Child's. He had a few pieces of Dark Gold equipment and an Epic Ring. His Skill Completions were also higher than Innocent Child's overall. As such, when Lu Li had reached half HP, Innocent Child was already at 30% HP.

"Let's stop here," Lu Li said as he pulled back and put his daggers away.

"Come on! Why don't you want to fight?" Innocent Child seemed to be unable to accept that he had lost.

He had a skill that dealt more damage the lower his HP was and he was still waiting to cast it.

"If I transformed into a Worgen, do you think you would still be able to one-shot me?" Lu Li asked with a laugh. Innocent Child was two levels below him and less-equipped; he didn't stand a chance.

Of course, for Innocent Child to get this far was already a demonstration of his strength.
