After all, Marin Noggenfogger was a Goblin and understood many business principles better than Lu Li. He quickly figured out this situation and saw the capability of this little group that Lu Li had gathered.


    White Bread was responsible for collecting and transporting the raw resources. Shen Wansan was responsible for maintaining the various channels of selling and advertising, among other business aspects.


    Marin Noggenfogger was the manufacturing machine. He would continually produce the Noggenfogger Elixir from his workshop, which would be sent off to the market.


    As for Lu Li, his biggest contribution was tricking Marin.


    This despicable Elf had done nothing. Marin had reliedpletely on White Bread, yet Lu Li was going to receive 40% of the total profit.


    "Demon, he’s a demon..." was what Marin Noggenfogger said to himself in the days that followed, cursing Lu Li every morning and every evening.


    Unfortunately, Lu Li waspletely oblivious to all of this. He had gone offline to apany his sister.


    The reason why he had so desperately levelled himself up wasn’t to maintain the top position in the rankings. He knew that there would be a time when someone would eventually overtake him; he just wanted to give himself more time to be able to spend with his sister.


    Lu Xin was always very happy when these opportunities came.


    She was like a puppy waiting at home every day. Other than her brother, it seemed like she didn’t have any other meaning in life. Although Lu Li didn’t want her to be like this, he simply didn’t have the time right now and didn’t trust her to expand her circle of friends on her own.


    The next day, Lu Li went back online, mainly for the finals of the marathonpetition.


    No one could resist the appeal of receiving an Epic equip, so the number of participants had reached an all-time high. With the sheer number ofpetitors, most yers had little hope of winning.


    After two elimination rounds, there were only 100 yers left who had qualified for the finals.


    The live rey was broadcasted to all the yers with two well-known professional marathonmentators. Of course, they were also yers within Dawn – otherwise, they wouldn’t understand the rules of the game.


    A marathon in reality was still vastly different from a marathon in-game.


    Lu Li didn’t know how to react to yers that had a coach with them. The scene around him was no different from a marathon in reality.


    "This is my first experience inmentating a marathon in a game, but I must thank Dawn for this game. Some real-life sports that were in decline have now found a second life because of this game." The name of this yer was Little Quincy. In reality, he was Li Yidong, a well-known marathonmentator.


    There were many activities that urred at the end of the year, which often took inspiration from reality.


    Could you imagine a group of Orcs and Tauren ying football together? That rampage was the way one of the Dawn Cup finals had ended the day before. It was a match between a team of Orcs called ’Saar’s Football Club’ and a team of Tauren who were called the ’Mavericks’.


    Theirpetition was a huge sess.


    After the game, both the Mavericks, who were the winners, and Saar’s Football Club, who were the runners-up, received massive advertising endorsement deals.


    Today’s marathon had also received a great deal of attention. Everyone was looking forward to seeing yers from all races running through the mountains and the ins. It was an unusually cheerful asion.


    "Actually, I think this marathon has incorporated too many game elements, which makes thepetition less interesting."


    The other yer was older, and was an internationally renownedmentator called Jiang Guzhen.


    In fact, he was quite right. The number of rounds had trivialized thepetition to some extent.


    "There are many yers participating in thispetition. There are even 2 star yers among them."


    Li Yidong didn’t continue on, otherwise, the audience was bound to lose interest.


    "That can’t be right. I only saw one star yer enter thepetition. I believe his name was Innocent Child..." Jiang Guzhen said in confusion. Although he was only a Trade Skill yer, how could he not know Lu Li’s name? In fact, the reason he was doing this was for dramatic effect.


    "Among our marathon runners, there is a yer who has not be officially certified as a star. However, he has definitely be a top yer. He is..."


    Even without this exnation, there were countless yers who already knew.


    "That’s right, it is Lu Li – the dark horse of the professional circle this year," Jiang Guzhen confirmed with a nod. "He is also the most promising yer to take the championship, despite not being a Druid."


    "Druids have ounted for 83% of the 100 yers who have entered the finals. There were only 17 non-Druid yers and 12 of them are Thieves. This shows how ruthless thispetition is for the other professions and races," Li Yidong said just as thepetition began.


    Lu Li kept the same strategy as before and maintained his level of Stamina.


    The other yers had also reached this stage in their strategizing and knew the importance of this. As such, there weren’t many yers who took the lead at the beginning.


    When there was no great burst of speed at the beginning, Lu Li’s advantage could clearly be seen. His normal speed wasparable to the speed of a Druid Transformation, which eventually took him towards the leading group of yers.


    "Lu Li is currently in sixth ce. Is he already speeding up right at the beginning? That doesn’t seem to be a wise choice," Jiang Guyumented.


    "It doesn’t look like it, but that is his normal speed which is quite terrifying. Let’s have a look at Innocent Child; he is actually in fifth ce. Amazing!" Li Yidong had yed the game and had a deeper understanding of it. This meant that he knew what was and wasn’t difficult to achieve.


    "He has maintained this speed for 1 minute and 37 seconds already. It really does seem like this is his normal speed," Jiang Guzhen said emotionally. "How can there be such a big gap between the yers?"


    This was the feeling that most older-generation gamers felt.


    "The rise of Lu Li truly is amazing. Let us look at the second stage of the mountain road. Will he be able to maintain his superior position?" Lu Yidong spoke with passion, which evoked the enthusiasm of the audience.


    If there were yers running at full speed before the second stage, everyone knew that their Stamina


    wouldn’tst for much longer.


    The advantage that Druids had was that when they reached the mountain roads, they could transform into Leopards, which had great jumping power. This allowed them to ovee the rugged surface with ease, and put distance between them and the other yers.


    "Look at Innocent Child!" amentator shouted.


    When Lu Li was running wildly in the form of the Child of the Forest, he also took the time to observe the other yers’ transformations. He had finally realized why Water Fairy said that Innocent Child would be a formidable opponent in taking the championship.
