Chapter 810: Teleportal

"Let's go back and drink," Lu Li suggested after seeing that everyone was in a good mood. No one was upset because of their deaths, so he didn't feel as guilty.
He wasn't the type to feel nothing towards the death of others.
Even if they were part of a business, they didn't need to sell their pride and life either. Lu Li didn't think highly of bosses like that and he didn't want to become one either.
"Haha, boss is shouting! Now we have to go!" everyone laughed.
It was normal to die in the game. What the average players were concerned about the most with their deaths was if they were worth it. Considering today's events, even if they died again they wouldn't have minded.
That was not to say that they enjoyed dying, but they did it in the name of friendship.
What was more interesting than friendship in a game?
The boss was shouting, which was a rare occasion, regardless if it was Ruling Sword. It didn't seem like Lu Li was going to buy cheap alcohol either, so everyone was in luck.
In a rowdy line led by Lu Li, they headed straight for the famous Pirate Bar in Stormwind City.
Dozens of tables were set in a big private booth, while drinks and alcohol were served. Lu Li spent thousands of gold coins without hesitating. He didn't even bat an eye, which was rare for someone who loved money as much as he did.
The relationship between these hundreds of players had strengthened after today.
They had fought side by side, died side by side and were now celebrating at the Pirate Bar.
Those players who missed this event were disappointed after. Many of them were sad as they asked, "Why couldn't we be the ones to die?"
This event organized by Ruling Sword concluded successfully. They had taken down Jintha'Alor, a level 50 wild boss, the Evil Priestess Hex, saved the Troll Elder, opened a Gold treasure box and obtained the Vol'Jin War Flag.
While the War Flag was not allowed in competitions, it was useful in the battlegrounds, in the wild, in dungeons and in secret zones.
Its effect was almost equivalent a Shaman using Bloodlust while a Druid casted Tranquility. The only thing they had to worry about was losing the war flag after dying.
However, it Lu Li dying was a rare occurrence, and if by some unfortunate circumstance he did, he still had the Dark Moon Card.
The chances of him losing the war flag were incredibly low.
Of course, when they didn't need it, Lu Li would leave it in storage. After all, it wasn't possible for someone to not die at all unless they never left the safe zone.
This had been a long day, but it was bound to come to an end. Seeing that there wasn't a lot of time left, Lu Li didn't bother going out to level up either.
It was two days before Christmas and the atmosphere had begun to grow festive.
The customers of the Southshore inn continued to increase, and there were always performances from the players and NPCs. These entertainers were guaranteed to profit if they were halfway decent.
Those who could afford to drink at this time probably had money to spare.
As an epic ballad came to a climatic end, the inn erupted in cheering. No one notice that a masked person had slowly entered the room.
The ordinary players that entered the inn would stop and look around first, but this person didn't. He headed straight to the corner.
After he sat down, he didn't remove his mask either.
This forgotten corner had caught the attention of the beautiful hostess. She placed down her barrel and scanned around, then walked towards the forgotten corner with a plate in her hand.
"It's been a while since you last came," the hostess said as she placed a wine cup in front of Lu Li.
Lu Li picked up the cup and finished it, then placed it back down and replied, "I simply cannot understand why you would waste your time in a bar like this on these boring people."
"This is my job," the hostess said with a smile, then added, "and I like this kind of lifestyle."
Lu Li was speechless. Everyone had their own values and beliefs in life; he couldn't just force his own on someone else. Not to mention, this was just an NPC.
"You're here to ask about it, right? I cannot answer you," the hostess said.
Lu Li's heart sank. If this didn't work, he wouldn't know how to find Garona. The other possible teachers were even harder to find than Garona, who was a part of Ravenholdt Manor.
There weren't many teachers in Dawn, and most players hadn't contacted one.
However, those who wanted to be one of the top players needed to have a teacher. The chances of an Empowerment spell dropping were way too low, not to mention that there were so many different skills for different classes.
Lu Li currently wanted an Empowerment: Shadowstrike, but even if he killed ten thousand bosses, he wasn't guaranteed to find one.
"But, since your quest completion rate is 100%, the higher ups in the organization are willing to see you. I'm only here to pass on some words and this item to you. I have no clue who this belongs to," the hostess said, pushing a round-shaped item in front of Lu Li.
Lu Li let out a long breath. Others might have been confused, but Lu Li immediately understood what this was.
This was a classic situation; perhaps even Garona was passing him a message. The hostess was left clueless, or at least she seemed clueless.
Lu Li picked up a round plate and discovered that this was a teleportal.
K13 Goblin Location Teleportal (Special): Use, teleports the user to a designated location. Goblin product, designated user Lu Li, usage 1/1.
There were many items out there like this, but what was in common about them was that their settings could be predetermined by the owner. This was cutting-edge technology developed by Goblins. Each of these items were expensive, and players were currently unable to craft them.
Those who could afford these items weren't ordinary people.
Not every higher up in Ravenholdt Manor could afford them either.
Lu Li put the Teleportal in his bag and thanked the hostess. Even if she was just passing words on, there were still risks involved. After all, she was just a contactor and her job was limited to giving out quests.
"I have a few quests on hand. If you have time to spare, you can consider them," the hostess reminded Lu Li before he left.
It had been a few days since he had sorted out quests here.
The Boss, competition, trading skills, leveling and other side quests had taken up a lot of Lu Li's time.
