The Great Thief - Chapter 223

Chapter 223
70 to 80 Thieves – Lu Li estimated that there probably were more who helplessly watched as Lu Li killed their Boss . They couldn’t do anything to save him, even though they were only a dozen yards away .


Before the Priests learnt Mass Dispel, there was nothing they could to stop a Thief’s Gale Steps .
The Thieves did try to rush towards him and surround him so that his movement was limited . They were trying to wait for the Stealth to run out and kill him when he appears .
But Lu Li’s Detection Badge helped him in this situation as he weaved through the Thieves who were just running around and left the circle .
Lu Li: Pass a video around, Sorrowless is dead .
Lu Li’s voice echoed in the noisy chatroom . His tone was calm, like he had just killed some ordinary monsters .
At this moment, everyone was preparing a defence outside of the Warsong Canyon . They expected to be able to hold this location for a little while .
The guild leaders also realised at this point that they didn’t have that much commanding power . In the whole game, there were 10 million Light Faction players, but they could barely command 1 million .
Lu Li’s voice was being transmitted through this mess of voices .
The chat room then quickly went quiet, not only in voice chat but also in text chat . Those that didn’t hear him quickly looked through the chat logs .
Unexpectedly, the first person to respond didn’t question the authenticity of Lu Li’s claim . After all, he had just killed Blood Dagger not long ago . However, he was unable to accept Lu Li’s indifference .
This was Sorrowless, someone who had spent so much effort in games but still lost .
How could he describe it; like he had just killed a chicken!
Hornet’s Nest: Sorrowless is dead, haha . Sorrowless is dead!
Jade Flower Lover: The video, the video of him dying - quickly post it onto the forums .


Stellar Union Silver Radiant: Hahaha, it really happened, you really killed Sorrowless .
Lu Li: It was all thanks to your item . Otherwise I wouldn’t even have had the opportunity .
Everyone in the chatroom then started talking at once; most of them were just repeated messages .
The Regional Channel also contained these same messages .
The video post also contained the same messages .
Sorrowless died!
It didn’t actually mean anything that he died; dying in the Warsong Canyon didn’t cost any EXP .

The equipment that he dropped wasn’t anything good either .
It was just a level 15 Silver equipment that would cause an ordinary player to jump for joy but was not good enough for a top-level player .
But if someone said something like that, he definitely would be hated .
Because this was Sorrowless .
The Glory Capital God .
It’s said that he had been playing games since he was 16 and after a decade of gaming, he was now a legend .


In the game he played, Death Maiden, he had a huge impact on players of both factions .
When the Evil Faction players who were furiously fighting in the war saw the World Announcement, they were dumbfounded . When they turned their heads, they saw him, looking over all the living things, standing where their leader was standing .
Now, this Meisnera fight and the Silvering Outpost destruction quests had both been sidelined .

This day would be written onto the history books .
The legend who had never been killed before had just died .
No one would remember that Sorrowless was only level 18 whilst Lu Li the bounty hunter was level 22 . Nor would they care the method used involved tricking Sorrowless into letting his guard down .
But Lu Li didn’t care about any of this . After he passed the video to Jade Flower Lover, he immediately went to the Meisnera Outpost .
Lu Li requested an invite . “Add me into the party . ”
“Didn’t you go with Moonlight to PVP? Why did you come back to farm again?” Azure Sea Breeze was once again running his mouth .
“Looks like I won’t need to take you to the Revenant Lands then,” Lu Li grunted .
Azure Sea Breeze immediately changed his tune . “Sisters, everyone, welcome Lu Li into the party . Our rank 1 player, oh sorry, our former rank 1 player . The rank 1 position has been stolen away . ”
Lu Li checked the rankings . Although he hadn’t fallen far behind, he was now outside of the top ten .
The first ten players were all level 23 . Azure Sea Breeze and Lonesome Flower were rank four and six respectively . The first player was Blood Red War Flag’s Not An Elementary Student whilst the second and third were players from Seventh Heaven .
Whilst Azure Sea Breeze and the group were farming the whole time, they just couldn’t compare to those players who brought along several groups of mages for focused farming .
But now that Lu Li had gotten the materials, he could make a whole bunch of bombs . So the level rankings were not yet set in stone .
The party didn’t just contain members from their group . Lu Li had also asked some Drizzle Court players to help them . There was Little Bear Huan Huan, Willow, and Don’t Hit Dou Dou . Additionally, there was also Lin, Ling, and Beautiful Moonlight .
These were three Mages that Lu Li had worked with before . When Lu Li was helping Drizzle Court break the record for an Instance Dungeon, he did it with these players .
“How is the tactical situation?” Wandering asked .
“Not bad, we have the perfect number of players . How about we just go back to levelling here,” Lu Li’s hands were constantly moving, dealing with one Water Elemental after another .
“Has Sorrowless really been killed?” Sesame Rice Ball couldn’t bear not to ask .
Lu Li paused before responding calmly, “Should be . ”
The Evil Faction players likely thought it was an undercover player who had assassinated Sorrowless . It could not have been a Light Faction player .
In the Light Faction, there was just news that Sorrowless had been killed, but there was no indication as to who did it . Hornet’s Nest and the others were all backed by guilds with top players; none of them would be willing to advertise that a non-guild player did it .
Guilds usually put in a large amount of resources to create a super expert that would represent the guild . These experts would then help the guild build up more fame .
This kind of game has existed for many years and so it was an interest to countless people .
Even Swirling Left Eye and Staring Right Eye wouldn’t reveal this secret, even though they hoped that Lu Li would run into some bad luck . They too were products of this system .
If they left the Imperial Secret Service, they would be left with nothing .
He didn’t want to put himself on center stage, so naturally Lu Li must not have any opinion about it .
Before long, the system notified him that he had received 500,000 dollars .
Sorrowless was worth 200,000, Blood Dagger was worth 100,000 and the remaining 200,000 was probably money for him to stay quiet .
He was the one who should be called the legendary gamer because he made 500,000 in one day .
If he wasn’t a person of ordinary status, he would have received the title of the game’s first assassin .
Instead, Lu Li just farmed and chatted away freely with his friends .
Soon the news came that the Evil Faction troops had retreated . Glory Capital and its dependency’s forces had all pulled back, leaving the other scattered players and the smaller guilds . These remaining players stood no chance in breaking the defence line .
There was also news that Sorrowless just revived in their base camp .
Someone who saw him said that his complexion was indifferent . He didn’t have the breathless expression like someone who had just been completely destroyed .
Someone heard that…
This was Azeroth, a world of adventure . It was also a world full of hearsay .
System: The quest “Defend the Meisnera Outpost” is complete . EXP has been awarded . Equipment has been awarded . Glory has been awarded .
It wasn’t much EXP, but it was enough to take Lu Li to level 23 .
The equipment was a level 20 Silver Dagger . Its attributes were decent, but the effect was quite mediocre . It wasn’t good enough to replace either one of Lu Li’s exquisite daggers .
The Water Elements retreated and returned to the sea . High Disciple Anzelin of the Twillight Hammer was nowhere to be found .
The “Defend the Meisnera Outpost” was over but there were still two hours left in the day; Lu Li was physically and mentally exhausted . He logged off really early to get some rest, not even bothering to count the amount of Starwood he had in his mailbox .
