A dungeon at last! Apparently, lucky Paladins could obtain the portrait through other methods . As for Lu Li, it appeared that he didn't have such luck .
Stratholme was probably level 50, based off the level of the boss .
Despite this, the levels of the monsters didn't average out to be level 50 – they were around level 47 to level 48 . Stratholme was also a dungeon well-known for its difficulty and was nothing like Zul'Farrak .
It was located on the Northwest side of Eastern Plagueland, and there were two entrances . The first entrance, known as the front door, was located in the blood zone . On the Eastern walls in the Undead zone was the other entrance, known as the back door . Those with the city keys, or a Thief with the Unlock skill would be able to open them .
For Lu Li, it was more convenient for him to take the back door . His Unlock was fully capable of opening it as well .
All sorts of monsters gathered at the outer ring of the dungeon . When Lu Li had previously practiced Stealth, he didn't dare to get close because there were too many of them .
Even until now, when everyone was preparing to explore Stratholme, a standard team of ten was the basic requirement to pass through the area .
At the same time, they had to be cautious of players from the opposing faction . They were more frightening than monsters, but Thieves usually weren't seen as a threat because there were Scourge Bats everywhere . It was best for Thieves to hide themselves and stay low .
Lu Li looked at the Scourge Bats that covered the entire road towards the dungeon and felt a headache brewing .
The term 'Scourge Bats' was just a common name – there were actually many different types of them . They ranged from level 40 to level 50 and could either be Magic or Physical type . However, all of them shared one common characteristic – great Detection skills .
The design team of the Plaguelands and Stratholme had no mercy on Thieves .
Lu Li had no choice but to persevere through . He couldn't try to take a detour either, since there would be even more bats . If he was unlucky, he might even run himself into a nest .
All that he could do was to be more cautious than ever .
He hesitated briefly and took out his Empowerment skill book, then confirmed to learn it .
System: Discovered Advanced Stealth . Would you like to learn it? Costs 1 . 2 million EXP, 120 gold coins and 4000 points of Faction Reputation .
When Lu Li checked his experience bar, reputation and the gold coins in his bag, he shook his head and laughed bitterly . No wonder why everyone said that only the rich could afford to learn Empowerment skills .
1 . 2 million EXP would almost cause him to drop a level . A player below level 40 might even be forced to drop more than one level .
A hundred and twenty gold coins was equivalent to ten thousand dollars in reality, which was more than some people could earn in a few months . However, most major guilds would usually pay for their members to learn Empowerment skills .
This encouraged players to go and collect Empowerment skills, which were a determining factor in the future of the guild .
Of course, if you weren't part of a guild, you would have to come up with your own funds .
As for the 4000 points of reputation, this was the limiting factor to how many empowerment skills could a player learn .
There were only so many ways to obtain faction reputation . Besides completing faction quests, the only other method was to participate in influential events, such as First Clears .
Lu Li's current faction reputation was a little more than ten thousand, so he could only afford to learn one more skill .
After he confirmed the System's prompt, Lu Li's experience bar heavily dropped again . This was what hurt him the most .
Empowerment Stealth: Instant cast . Hides a Thief until Stealth mode disappears . Increases effect of stealth . In shadowy environments, the Stealth effect receives further improvement . Random special effect: Bat Transformation . After the use of this special effect, the caster will turn into a bat to fly to a designated location within a certain range . Cooldown 2 minutes .
Bat Transformation! Lu Li was stunned .
He knew that Empowerment skills sometimes came with a special effect, just like equipment, but this was not certain .
He had two Empowerment skills in his previous life, but one of them had nothing .
The reason why Lu Li was left in astonishment was because his random special effect was Bat Transformation .
This would become one of Unforgettable Maple's signature moves in the future . It was the skill that made all the little girls scream every time it was used .
What Unforgettable Maple had learned to obtain this was the Empowerment: Flash skill .
Not only were the visuals impressive, but this special effect was actually very useful too .
Unforgettable Maple's Mage God title was heavily supported by his incredible mobility .
Being surrounded by monsters would no longer be an issue – as a bat, you can pass through obstacles . Moreover, the Bat Transformation could even Dispel Frozen and Snare effects .
Since it wasn't an actual skill, it had no mana cost, so even a Thief like Lu Li could use it .
Either way, Lu Li was completely satisfied; the experience that he had lost was definitely worth it .
Of course, he had chosen to learn this Empowerment because he felt like his Stealth had been practiced enough . At the same time, he also needed to deal with these Scourge Bats before him .
With an Empowerment on Stealth, he had a better chance of hiding from the Detection of these bats .
The results were even greater than he had anticipated, mainly because the effects were further enhanced in shadows . The Plaguelands were perpetually shrouded in mist, so it was categorized as a shadowy environment .
Unless these bats physically bumped into Lu Li, they would not be able to Detect him .
Eventually, Lu Li approached the back door to the dungeon .
Unlock!
If someone else was here, they would be surprised by his bravery since he was entering a level 50 dungeon by himself .
Some had already entered the dungeon to explore it, hoping that the Bosses inside would be like those in Zul'Farrak .
