The Great Thief - Chapter 1157

Chapter 1157




After all, the game was still a game . No matter how realistic the visuals were, there was still a voice that reminded you that it was virtual . This was just human instinct that was rooted deep in their subconscious – otherwise, the players would likely start becoming schizophrenic .

Although you could wear some fashionable clothing in the game, you weren't able to achieve the same effect as you could in real life .

Water Fairy was wearing a short white coat with fluffy white fur at the collar, as well as white trousers and a pair of white boots on her feet . She was completely white from head to toe .

Her fashion in the game was almost mostly white; it seemed that this was her favorite color . Meanwhile, Lu Li's clothing was closer to the rest of the people inside, who were wearing darker colors .

"I thought you weren't coming," Water Fairy said stood up from the sofa in the restaurant . Lu Li greeted her flatly but didn't explain the reason for his late arrival .

In the eyes of the others, the leader of Ruling Sword was interacting with the leader of Peerless City . It was indeed a very business-like procedure .

Only the more sensitive people were able to discern that Water Fairy was giving off a slightly different air . The previous atmosphere that warned players against bothering her had completely dissipated .



Lu Li's expression was even more difficult to decipher, but he demonstrated his attitude by chatting with Water Fairy alone while in public .

It was possible that there was truly something between these two now . Even Square Root 3 didn't know if he should give his blessings or advise him to get out while he still could . Square Root 3 was getting older now and could be said to be quite well-informed . He had long since passed the age of innocence .

Finding a suitable partner was not only about family status and materialism, but also about values and living habits .

Lu Li and Water Fairy were so far apart even in those regards . One was once a poor person struggling to find a way to survive while the other was a lady of high status that had received an elite education . If Water Fairy brought up a luxury brand, it was likely to bewilder Lu Li . If Lu Li talked about fighting someone for a few dollars, he would be met with incomprehension from Water Fairy . Lu Li tried to make a bit of money in everything he did, even if he was fighting .

But now, they were talking about matters within the game .

It vaguely sounded like Lu Li had made a weapon for Water Fairy which she was very satisfied with . She even ran into Wood Fearing in the arena and managed to defeat him . At that time, Water Fairy's smiles and laughter made her no different from an ordinary girl .

Square Root 3 suddenly decided not to bother with them . Funnily enough, he was taking care of the guild, but he was becoming more and more like an old mother . He even wanted to take care of his Boss' emotional life .




Perhaps that was what other people did .

Lu Li did not expect Water Fairy to defeat Wood Fearing . If she had defeated Blood Dagger, Lu Li wouldn't be surprised . Blood Dagger was strong in the beginning of the game, but would eventually be overtaken by Water Fairy . However, Wood Fearing was different . Lu Li had met so many Thieves, but none were like him – he really was like a block of wood in terms of his tenacity .

It could be said that Wood Fearing was Water Fairy's nemesis .

This defeat actually seemed like quite a heavy blow to the veteran .

Most other people saw the professional circle as quite a glamorous thing to be a part of, especially since Dawn was so popular . However, this viewpoint neglected the sadness that most professional players had to face . After all, there could only be one player at the top spot .

After sighing deeply, Water Fairy finally complained, "You guys really are ruthless – I can't believe this happened to Peerless City . "

Peerless City had developed beyond Water Fairy's imagination in the recent years . Their population wasn't worse than Drizzle Court's guild numbers . She thought that even if Peerless City lost to Ruling Sword, it wouldn't be by much . She didn't expect these results . After two games, the outcome of the match had already been decided .

"If we didn't go all out, we might have actually lost by a little bit," Lu Li said fearfully .

He didn't say anything more . He didn't talk about how during the team round, he had told March Rain to use her crowd-control skill to interrupt their opponents . There were very view healers in the entire game who had crowd-control like that .

If March Rain didn't use it, then she might have died earlier which would have allowed Peerless City to keep their healer . At that point, Lu Li wouldn't be of much use .

"I really want to meet you in the finals, so I can beat you down," Water Fairy said casually . If other players heard her say that, they would have thought she was spoiled . If Lu Li said anything to anyone else, she wouldn't be too happy either .

"It's not impossible . You have a pretty good chance of getting there," Lu Li said as he smiled .

Drizzle Court's opponent was Seventh Heaven . They had their first battle the day before yesterday in Jinling City and had won by exploiting a weakness . The day after tomorrow, they were travelling to Lingnan for the second game . The chances of winning this second game was not great, so the pressure was on Water Fairy .

"Hey, let's not talk about this heavy topic . I have been to Jiangnan City a few times, but it's always in passing . Since you live here, tell me what there is to do for fun . "

She had received an elite education from an early age . While others were still suffering to study for the college entrance examination, not only had she acquired a diploma of higher education, but she was even running the family business at home .

Jiangnan city was famous for its tourism, but she had come here often for business and it was always rushed .

Now that she had a falling with her father, who was trying to take things from her, the now unemployed Water Fairy had realized that she had missed out on a lot of things .

"Actually, I don't really know much about this city," Lu Li said calmly . "I lived in a relatively remote and backwards place for more than twenty years . People here call it the Common District that is west of the city . Recently, I have been busy playing games and never really got to visit anything . "

Square Root 3 leaned over while chatting casually with Soul Eater and listened to what the two were talking about . When he tuned in, he almost turned around to slap Lu Li . He shouldn't have mentioned where he was born .

It was not a glamorous thing!

How could his emotional intelligence be so low that he didn't know how to impress a girl by presenting the best side of himself? Water Fairy had just given him a chance to impress her, and all he needed to do was take her to a place where they could have a walk . Instead, Lu Li decided to tell her that he didn't know the city very well .

However, what shocked Square Root 3 even more was Water Fairy's reaction .

"The Common District … I don't think I've seen it before . How about you take me when you're free?"

He had no choice but to conclude that perhaps he was just too old for this .
