Back at the activity management division of Stormwind City, Water Fairy exchanged for 65 gift boxes all at once.

“We can go half-half?” Water Fairy asked.

“You go for it. I’m okay just watching on the side.”

Lu Li noticed that Water Fairy was itching to have a go. He didn’t mind sacrificing his opportunity to give her this moment of happiness.

“Rose perfume…” Water Fairy said as she opened the first one.

This was the most rubbish item in Lu Li’s eyes, yet it had captured Water Fairy’s heart. She had even opened the bottle for a sniff.

“It smells really nice; it’s quite light. Do you wanna try?”

“No thanks. You can keep it,” Lu Li hurriedly refused.

He was a rough man; perfume was way too girly for him. Moreover, these perfumes and cosmetic items didn’t provide any additional attributes.

“Okay then.”

Water Fairy packed up the perfume and continued opening boxes. In her heart, she thought that if the opportunity came in the future, she would teach Lu Li a lesson. By that time, it wouldn’t just be trying on perfumes, but wearing female clothing as well.

Valentine’s Day sweets!

This small bag contained about 10 or so sweets.

“This is good stuff!”

Lu Li’s eyes lit up. It wasn’t that he liked sweets, but rather because they could regenerate HP. They were more potent than most healing medicines on the market at the moment.

What was more fascinating was that the same sweet would have different effects depending on its use.

If a player used it on himself, a certain amount of HP or Mana would be regenerated. However, if he used it on his romantic partner, it would regenerate double the amount of HP or Mana.

Red sweets regenerated HP, blue sweets regenerated Mana, and rainbow sweets could regenerate either, albeit a lower amount.

As for the method, it just had to be physically fed to the other person.

The next item was jewellery. This wasn’t the same as equipment; it was just for decoration. The style was rather elegant, but there had been too many Valentine’s Boxes opened already so it wasn’t as valuable anymore.

Water Fairy opened the box with excitement, while Lu Li read the forums out of boredom.

The recent few matches weren’t very challenging, including today’s one. Moonlight and Mu Qiu alone were enough to leave their opponents unable to do anything.

Meanwhile, Judgement Spear were unfortunate and continued to encounter clubs in the top 100. They lost three rounds straight and would have great difficulty progressing onwards.

“Wow~ fashion! Such pretty, antiquely-styled clothes!”

It seemed like Water Fairy had opened something noteworthy again.

Lu Li took one glance and gave a big compliment.

“This…” Water Fairy had opened something strange; it looked like a piece of cloth.

“A red veil for your head,” Lu Li said, recognizing it straight away.

“Oh…”

Now she was a little embarrassed to have opened a red veil. It was as if she was in a hurry to get married off.

For the balance of the game, this type of gift box would at most reward Dark Gold items. A majority of the items were for the sake of contributing to the atmosphere of Valentine’s Day.

For example, there was perfume, little decorations, roses, fashionable clothes…

Lu Li had expected this early on, so he wasn’t very disappointed, while Water Fairy seemed happy from start to end. She was not only not disappointed, but rather satisfied with the game’s activities.

In the coming days, Lu Li started to lead people to try and fight Magtheridon’s Lair.

He had completely given up after two tries.

The difficulty of this Instance Dungeon had far exceeded his imagination. The Instance Dungeon from his past life evidently had been weakened several times already.

After level 70, even Elite Difficulty couldn’t be passed by everyone. To this day, there had not even been a single club which had completed Magtheridon’s Lair on Elite Difficulty.

Lu Li quietly led a team to Gruul’s Lair, which was a level 70 Instance Dungeon. In the description given by the officials, Kargrul’s Lair’s position was higher than that of Magtheridon’s Lair, and was even higher than that of Serpentshrine Cavern.

Even if players wanted to try it, they would be tortured to death by the small monsters. Hence, it then became a place where no one came.

Gruul’s Lair was situated in the Blade’s Edge Mountains.

The Gronn originated from the Outlands and were demi-god Ogres. Legends said that the Gronn raised Ogres, yet used force to control them. The Gronn race possessed massive power, like that of Diablo.

They were the sons of the Gronn leader, Gruul. The real master of the Gronn race was Gruul, who was known as the Dragon Slayer.

Many people had seen the Blade’s Edge Mountain’s Dragon’s End and were in shock. The dragons placed on the edge of the cliffs were killed by Gruul himself, which was why he was known as the “Dragon Slayer”.

He lived in the depths of Gruul’s Lair, and had an iron fist that would one-shot anyone who dared to invade.

In the Instance Dungeon of Gruul’s lair, there two Bosses altogether. Gruul was considered the second Boss, which was the final Boss.

The first Boss was called High King Maulgar, a cyclopian Ogre leader of Blade’s Edge Mountain. The entourage that followed him usually stayed by his side in order to guard the Blade’s Edge Mountain’s true leader, Gruul’s Lair.

The difficulty of Maulgar was actually quite high.

This further confirmed that the difficulty of Gruul’s Lair was higher than that of Magtheridon’s Lair.

High King Maulgar’s melee attack dealt 5000-6000 damage. Just these numbers alone were enough to make any Main Tank stop in their tracks. After all, if they could be one-shot in a second, then there was no hope of killing Boss.

Not to mention, he also had a number of skills.

The most often-used Arcing Smash could eliminate 8000 HP of a Main Tank. Other professions would pretty much be instantly killed.

Arcing Smash was a 180-degree attack, but he could also spin like a tornado. Other than Tanky Healers, none of the other healing professions could sustain this type of damage.

It was easy to be killed by the tornado in melee range. The safest way was to wait for Maulgar to finish his tornado, then step up and attack, but this was very dangerous. Perhaps the best way was to stand afar and use long-ranged weapons.

As such, Lu Li only brought six melee professions.

They would be required to defeat the four followers of High King Maulgar, who used magic.
