The Great Thief - Chapter 1036

Chapter 1036: 1036
He wasn't expecting anything Legendary out of the chests, but he still had a tiny glimmer of hope within .


This was how gaming was – everyone would dream about looting something extraordinary . All those who dared to look down on them would be lining up to pay their price .
It was rare for Lu Li to have these kinds of issues, but he was still slightly disappointed when he saw the item that he looted .
Dismantle Armor!
It wasn't that this skill book was horrible – in fact, it was one of the most popular skill books amongst Thieves . It was even more popular than some of the Enhancement skills out there .
Only a handful of players had this skill in the China server, but one of them happened to be Lu Li!
"Damn you, Nameless Old Sailor; why couldn't you just slightly adjust your loot? Even if you changed it to something less valuable, it would still be more worthwhile for me .
Most classes didn't mind having a wide variety of skills . No matter how useless a skill seemed, it would prove to be of use under certain circumstances . The game wouldn't design anything completely pointless .
Unfortunately, this dilemma he was in had no solution .
Lu Li packed away the valuable skill book and continued to loot the chest .
Given that the first item was Dismantle Armor, the second item mightn't be so bad after all .
The sunken sea chests didn't have any levels, or key requirements . They were one of the easiest chests to open, but the rewards were also lower than most treasure chests in the same level map . Usually, it would be good enough for these boxes to drop one good item . For example, all the chests that Lu Li had opened before gave mostly nothing but trash .


Ding!
It was the sound effect for a gemstone . For Lu Li, this was like heavenly music to his ears .
He would probably even dream about this beautiful sound later when he went to bed after his game time .
He clasped the gem tightly in his hands and opened his eyes slowly to check out the attributes . This was like a game that he had played before in the past . The game had a system where you could gamble and pay for a gem which came with all sorts of stats . Countless players who wanted to try their luck went broke from this .
Equipment Level Requirement -10% .
Lu Li was relieved to see that this was exactly what he was looking for .
The Nameless Old Sailor was too kind to him .
What Lu Li didn't know was that these sunken ships had different tiers . The smallest ship would have one or two chests and a medium one would have given around ten, while a large ship might have had a dozen or more .
The ship that he was on was definitely a large ship .
All large ships had special rooms and these rooms were only available for players who explored the ship first . If Lu Li came again next time, he wouldn't see the Nameless Old Sailor anymore .
This was an incentive that the game provided for adventurous players .


As for the losses that these players experienced in the process of their adventure, the gaming company had no comment .

There was nothing else left besides a book called "Old Sailor's Travel Dairy" . Lu Li picked it up and packed it away carefully .
Those who were uneducated often paid a lot more respect to books . This was the same both in real life and in game .
There was most likely some surprise hidden by the gaming company in this diary to add to the lore of the game .
The fourth room opened, revealing a chest called 'Plyfit's Luggage' . When Lu Li opened it, a Mage-type ghost appeared . It seemed like the System was going to increase the difficulty for Lu Li .
The monster was level 55 with ninety thousand health points and was equivalent to a semi-boss .
Lu Li felt troubled, but he had to at least give it a shot .
The two engaged in a few rounds of attacks and Lu Li lost 300 points of health while only dealing around 100 points to the ghost .
Fortunately, control effects still applied or else Lu Li would've turned and ran .
He performed a normal attack first, just to calculate the difference in power between him and Plyfit . Plyfit lost around 1/3 of his health while Lu Li was almost about to die .
He first moved away from Plyfit and went into Stealth mode .
Although the detection ability of ghost type monsters was great, as long as Lu Li went into Stealth a little further away, he wouldn't get caught .
Just as Garona Halforcen had said, there was no such thing as definite detection . The only reason you got caught was because you were unskilled, and the same rule applied on the opposite end . There was no absolute Stealth – only inadequate detection . .
When Plyfit recovered his health from 2/3 to full, Lu Li watched, but wasn't too annoyed about it .
When you left battle mode, Plyfit's health would return to full . This was a solid rule in Dawn, so players couldn't fight monsters, then run to heal and come back to battle again .
However, he managed to take down thirty thousand points of Plyfit's health which gave him some hope .
Although Plyfit had high stats, he didn't have any powerful skills .
Besides Shadow Bolt, he only had two others .
One was Decadent Music, which was similar to a Bard skill . It reduced the movement speed of players and dealt no damage . The purpose of this skill was to pave the way for the other skill .
The other skill created a puddle of poison that spread into the waters . Players needed to quickly escape the range of the poison to minimize the damage taken .
Even if Lu Li lost 40% of his movement speed, he was still too fast for the poison . As suchm his damage taken remained consistent .
Some said that players could use items, while under normal circumstances, monsters couldn't drink potions .
Others said that players had intelligence while the intelligence of monsters was capped .
This was where Lu Li's source of hope came from – he was a player and could drink potions . He was also a Thief with control skills and his necklace also recovered health . He didn't even use any special effects in his last fight .
With the thought that he could still escape even if he lost, Lu Li began the fight again .
Right before he was about to reach critical health, Plyfit was defeated .
Without skills, magic type monsters were nothing but a piece of cake .
Unfortunately, Plyfit wasn't as generous as the Nameless Old Sailor . He only donated a Gold tier crossbow, which was worse than what Lu Li had anticipated .
He thought that the deeper he entered, the better the rewards would be . The monsters that appeared seemed to support this, so he didn't expect Plyfit to be so stingy .
Next, he would probably be matched up against semi-bosses or even Bosses with a hundred thousand points of health .
Lu Li didn't feel like he could take down the next coming semi-Boss . He had almost given up on Plyfit .
