Chapter 47: Equipment Score
Fire Beast was a 50-person Large-sized Party-level Instance Dungeon. Regarding its difficulty, it was far from a five-person Instance Dungeon when compared. The level of equipment that was produced there would naturally greatly surpass that of the five-person Small Instance Dungeons.
In King of Pantheon, every piece of equipment had a certain score. For instance, the Frost Longbow that Li Yi had obtained was given a score of 37 by the system.
When the scores of all his equipped gear were totaled, it served as a criterion to judge whether an individual was a great force. This score was known as “GS” which was short for the “Gear Score”.
During the initial stages when everyone did not have much equipment, the importance of the GS would not be manifested yet. Only as they died from being killed countless times would the importance of the GS gradually surface to light.
The current Li Yi, for example, had a GS that had already reached 177. Thus, he was considered as one of the stronger forces during the initial stages.
The guild system was launched long ago and Li Yi had entered it as well. However, since his equipment’s GS appeared at a pitiful score of 66 (because of the Trickery Ring’s special effect), he had always been arranged at the ranks of the party’s alternate members.
Yet Delicately Cute never looked at the performance records of actual strength when she judged or selected individuals. She would only look at their GS; if it met the standard, that would be OK.
Naturally, there was a reason as to why she had taken the initiative to seek GS66 Li Yi this time.
Delicately Cute was looking at the number of people in place at the dungeon entrance of Fire Beast. Though this time, Dark Empire was barely able to gather twenty-five people for the Party-level Instance Dungeon while another guild was responsible for the other twenty-five people.
Century Flower Guild!
Century Flower Guild’s Guild Master Hua Feiwu was standing before Delicately Cute. He was currently pulling things out of thin air just to strike up a conversation with her.
Hua Feiwu did not look like a bad person at all. However, when his refined nature was combined with everything that he had done in his previous life, the four words of the idiom “wolf in sheep’s clothing” truly suited him.
Every time Hua Feiwu said something to hit on her, Delicately Cute would turn her head towards the side. She would not reply him but simply treat his words as air instead.
Everyone could see that Hua Feiwu was interested in Delicately Cute but they could also tell that Delicately Cute disliked this person.
Li Yi was the last one to rush here. Century Flower Guild’s Old Green recognized him at first glance and energetically cast a sarcastic smile towards him immediately.
There was no doubt that Delicately Cute only sought Li Yi because it was entirely Century Flower Guild’s demands. Moreover, both sides had secretly come to an agreement that as long as Li Yi joined the party, Delicately Cute would have the priority and right to divide the equipment that came out of it.
Delicately Cute had never asked for the reason because it would not be an issue whether they had one more or one less person in a fifty-person party anyway. Obtaining the priority and right to divide the equipment was the most important matter.
Due to this, Delicately Cute purposely made her tone extremely polite because she was worried that Li Yi would not come.
Li Yi understood everything immediately when he saw the situation before him at first glance. However, he did not say anything but stood with the other members while waiting for Delicately’s assignments.
“Both of our guilds have decided to cooperate this time but first, I’ll briefly discuss the equipment division issues.” Delicately Cute scanned the crowd and said, “This time, the dungeon will launch the game’s internal calculation system. The amount of damage that you deal inside the dungeon or the HP that you heal will all be displayed on the Virtual Panel so you can check it yourselves. Of course, since the MTs are in charge of pulling Aggro, the damage that they can deal from fighting will not be counted.”
“For the equipment division, the MTs and healers will get priority. If it’s simultaneously required, it will be determined by roll points. As for the others, it’ll be divided according to the amount of damage that’s dealt. In other words, the probability of you obtaining equipment will be greater when the damage you deal with is higher. Conversely, your leeching (low damage) will be lower.”
“Alright, I’m done speaking. Does anyone have any objections?”
No one spoke.
The division plan that Delicately Cute used was a mainstream scheme. Many guilds, especially lawless parties that were formed at the last minute would use this plan to divide the equipment that was produced.
The boss drop rates in Party-level Instance Dungeons greatly surpassed that of the five-person Small Instance Dungeons. However, not every person would be allocated with equipment here. Those with actual strength would rely on their abilities to obtain these items and would naturally not lead to any disputes.
“Also, although the dungeon is a collaboration between both guilds this time, our guild will still adhere to our old rules. 2 Guild Points will be recorded just for attendance while 50-1000 Guild Points will be awarded based on the circumstances on if your DPS (damage) is attacked well.”
The members of Dark Empire became restless as excited expressions appeared on all of their faces. The accumulated Guild Points of Dark Empire were unlike the points of the other guilds as theirs could be converted directly into money!
1 Guild Point was equivalent to 100 bucks!
Even the members of Century Flower Guild looked on enviously. This was the situation that Delicately Cute had truly desired to witness. She could already foresee that the number of Dark Empire members would probably increase again after the dungeon this time.
Delicately Cute flashed a sweet smile in Hua Feiwu’s direction and said, “Guild Master Hua, you can solve the problem of assigning the party allocations.”
Hua Feiwu was stunned and only returned to his senses after a long time. He coughed a few times softly before saying, “Friends with GS values of 100 and above, please stand on the left.”
More than thirty people began to move and stood on the left.
“Friends with GS values above 80, please stand on the right.”
All of the remaining people moved towards the right except for Li Yi who stayed in his spot.
Dumbfounded, Hua Feiwu said, “Friend, your GS…”
At this moment, Old Green walked towards his side and whispered a few sentences to his ears. Hua Feiwu made a few noises and looked Li Yi up and down once carefully before he stopped asking altogether.
“If there’s anyone with a GS over 160, come over to me.”
Hua Feiwu yelled again while simultaneously illuminating his own GS marks of 161.
“Wow—”
Numerous cries of shock rang out in all four directions. When no one walked over, Hua Feiwu became even more pleased. He stared at Delicately Cute interestedly and looked at her reaction.
Delicately Cute’s expression was still normal as there was no hint of a special reaction at all. This was not surprising as the GS of the Head Guild Leader of Dark Empire, Chu Tiange had already reached 249 now.
‘Can 161 be compared with 249? What’s surprising about that?’
Li Yi was faintly shocked but when he could clearly see the equipment on Hua Feiwu’s body, he suddenly laughed.
Since Hua Feiwu belonged to the Wizard Class, there was only one type of cloth armor equipment that he was suited to wear. However, King of Pantheon was a hyper-realistic game, there were no limits to the equipment that could be worn. The only difference was that the players would suffer system penalties if they wore equipment that was not suited to their own class.
Take Hua Feiwu for instance — he was a Wizard who actually wore three pieces of Warrior Path plate armor equipment on his body to gather points for his GS. Although his GS points had increased because of this, he suffered the penalties of 200% ATK SPD delay, 200% SPD delay, and 200% decrease of HP and MP restoration speed.
If he fought the monsters, there would be no prospect of him dealing damage because while others had attacked five times, he could only attack once…
Both guilds sent out five MTs and 10 healers each. All of them were selected and discussed over beforehand. Meanwhile, it was not surprising that Li Yi was assigned with Old Green.
“Alright, we don’t have to pay much attention to the little monsters. Everyone can simply roll for the trashy green-colored equipment that appears while the gold-colored equipment that is produced by the boss will be divided by Miss Delicately.”
Hua Feiwu’s manner could be as gentlemanly as he desired. By looking at his behavior, it was truly difficult to relate him to the degenerate scumbag who had sent his girlfriend away in his previous life.
Li Yi had yet to ask clearly until now on whether Hua Feiwu and Fire Ice currently knew each other. However, he felt relieved after he pondered for a while. Chen Yang and Fire Ice were currently just normal friends and it would be a long time before they reached developments of the boy-girl relationship. His own worries were clearly unnecessary…
Delicately Cute nodded and said, “If no one has any objections, everyone can enter the dungeon then!”
The fifty-person party entered the dungeon majestically.
Old Green approached Li Yi and sneered before whispering, “You’ll definitely die terribly later.”
