The Great Thief - Chapter 1006

Chapter 1006
Lu Li wasn't clueless about Water Fairy's concern .


The commander position probably wouldn't land on him this time, unless Sorrowless didn't choose to participate in the Blackrock Spire Celebrity Group .
However, there was no way that Sorrowless would give up the spot . A commander was equivalent to having another position, and the reward was sixteen Legendary equips . After the equips were divided amongst the fifteen players, the commander could obtain the last piece .
Not to mention, the commander position helped to raise the personal reputation of a player .
Based on the history of the gaming industry, any legendary figure needed to at least have some sort of ability to direct others .
For a while now, Lu Li had been focusing on making Goblin Jumper Cables .
Despite the chances of failure, these items still allowed anyone to revive others and helped prevent some experience lost when Healers weren't around .
Besides the small number that were supplied to the guild storage, most of the items were given to Shen Wansan .
Upon entering March, Lu Li had earned around 6 million dollars in term of real money . Some of this was the profit made by the Noggenfogger Elixir .
Lu Li had finished paying the sum he owed to Water Fairy .
It felt freeing to not have any debts . His next target now was to save enough money to buy a bigger house; it wasn't ideal to keep renting .


The players in the elite group kept saying that Lu Li was lucky to be renting a house with so many beauties .
However, Lu Li wasn't interested in all these girls at all . He felt that it was inappropriate for him to keep living with them, so moving out became the next most important thing for him .
Besides this, the rest of the money was invested into the game .
The club was like a bottomless pit . After Lu Li had discovered his ambition, he needed a large sum of money to support it .
All men had ambition hidden within them; they all wanted to stand on a peak and be admired . No matter where he ended up, he refused to be judged by others and didn't want to beg others either .
"I'm Shang Guan Yun Luo . You can just call me Shang Guan . "
The man that had come was traditional and arrogant, and sat down opposite to Lu Li
They were at a location in the game with some dancers nearby . It was hard to tell if these dancers were real players or NPCs . The customers sat across from each other, drinking their tea with waiters beside them to serve them .
Unfortunately, none of this mattered .
Lu Li had never received any proper education; it was hard for him to understand these cultures .


He had a mask on and there was barely any emotion in his eyes . If he kept quiet, no one would be able to tell that he didn't understand anything .

"Mr . Shang Guan, what brings you to me?" Lu Li asked .
He didn't really like people from the gaming company – they were like the police force in real life . They never had anything friendly with lowlifes like himself .

"I'm sure you would have heard about the recent forming of the Blackrock Spire Celebrity Group," Shang Guan Yun Luo said .
"I've heard about it from some, but what does this have to do with me . I'm not a celebrity competitor yet . " Lu Li sat tensely on the tatami; he didn't seem as happy as Shang Guan Yun Luo had anticipated .
"This is just a matter of process, haha . . . "
"If you want me to go, I want to have the commanding position . " Lu Li wasn't laughing at all .
Up until this point, he had never begged anyone, not even at his most difficult times . There was no way that he would try and befriend Shang Guan Yun Luo and find ways to obtain the commanding position .
Shang Guan Yun Luo originally thought that he had misheard, but he realized that he saw nothing but determination in Lu Li's eyes . This was when he asked in shock, "Do you have a clue what you're saying?"
"The commanding position…" Lu Li emphasized his point again .
"Nonsense!" Shang Guan Yun Luo shouted as he stood up, then laughed coldly, "You're just a newbie in the gaming industry and earned your position by being lucky . How dare you ask for this position . . . "
"There's no need to be angry," Lu Li said calmly . "It's only a simple answer of yes or no . "
"Impossible! I think things are going too well for you lately – you're too arrogant . I didn't expect you to be someone like this . Let's wait and see," Shang Guan Fun Luo dismissed as he waved his hands and turned to leave . He didn't feel like he had anything else to say with Lu Li .
"In that case, let's hope the Blackrock Spire Celebrity Group can finish the dungeon quickly," Lu Li said slowly .
"What do you mean?" Shang Guan Yun Luo asked and couldn't help but halt his steps .
He had sensed some sort of threat from Lu LI's words, in the exact same tone as his own .
"Spider's Lair, Death Mines, Howling Caves, Scarlet Monastery, Zul'Farrk . . . " Lu Li listed all of the public dungeons since the game had been released, then continued, "These dungeons were all completed first under my command . . . "
"So what? The best players from the game are all participating this time . " Shang Guan Yun Luo wasn't too concerned .
"There are currently twelve level 50 players in the China area, and nine of them are in Ruling Sword . I honestly cannot understand what threat those top players can pose to me . This isn't a match," Lu Li said in a confused tone .
He had been locked away these days, focusing on making Goblin Jumper Cables . The top position of the chart had been stolen by Lonesome Flower and even Azure Sea Breeze had rushed past him .
Lu Li was currently ranked third, and number four to twelve were all level 50 players . Most of them were from Ruling Sword .
"Their techniques are the best of the best," Shang Guan Yun Luo said, but he wasn't so sure anymore .
He had only just discovered that Lu Li wasn't only arrogant, but he had evidence for his claims .
But was he going to play against the gaming company just because of this?
That was too irrational . The main job of Shang Guan Yun Luo was to sort out gaming-related issues . He often represented the gaming company and all the people that he came in contact with were either top players or club owners like Lu Li .
However, each and every one of them paid him full respect . None dared to treat him like Lu Li .
"If you're so certain, then do as you say . We'll see," Lu Li said, not bothering to debate with him . This was clearly someone who looked down on him and didn't want to set down his position as a representative for the gaming company . His words were full of intentions for Lu Li to give in .
Giving in?
Lu Li wasn't someone who acted on impulse, and neither was he someone of greed . This whole time, he had been waiting for the gaming company to step down while everything was under his control .
There was no way he would give in on his own!
