The Great Thief - Chapter 404

Chapter 404

This acting was just way too exaggerated .

Lu Li could hear the crunching sounds through the voice comms . How busy could she really be if she was eating a Spirit Fruit while doing something?

Spirit Fruits were one of the best fruits in Dawn, and combined the best aspects of all the other fruits . Many players really liked the virtual taste that it created .

Players who took up Herbalism could make quite a bit of money this way because of the large demand . Many players wanted them and Lu Li had even tried his hand at it in his past life . However, because there were so many other people collecting them too, he didn’t make much money .

"I have something to discuss with you . When are you free?" Lu Li asked, playing along .

"What do you want to discuss? Do you finally want to sell the strategy?" Water Fairy responded incredulously, pretending to be surprised .

"Haha…" Lu Li laughed dryly, "I hadn’t finished preparing it yesterday but after thinking about it, I have organized the strategy for Herod . Oh, and I also have the strategy for Vishas . We had gotten wiped quite a few times before we could beat him . "

"Lu Li," Water Fairy said, then paused for a long time and ominously continued, "Where is your integrity?"

"Aren’t we friends? Have you forgotten that if it weren’t for you, I might not have won the championship?" Lu Li was sucking up to her, acting shamelessly for this Synthetic Stone .

After all, the purpose of this Synthetic Stone was to enable the usage of level 40 or higher equipment .

This could increase his strength further than if he upgraded from Gold to Dark Gold equipment .

However, the critical point was that you couldn’t acquire this item even if you had money . Square Root 3 had inquired with countless Mercenary Groups and only one of them had it . They had sold it to Water Fairy .

The transaction totaled $150,000 in real money .

Spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to get a piece of equipment seemed ridiculous to an ordinary player .

However, a club that won a competition would receive at least a million dollars in prize money . It was estimated that some of the top clubs had an even higher income .

"You’ve refused me twice and you haven’t even Forged the equipment that you promised . "

Water Fairy felt like she had been hurt . There weren’t many people who could be her friend, and Lu Li had the audacity to play that card .

"Sorry, I’ve been quite busy lately . When I finish the Scarlet Instance Dungeons in two days, I will compensate you for all the equipment that I’ve promised . " Lu Li also felt like he had crossed the line .

Of course, due to this upbringing, he wasn’t really affected by the allure of a woman .

"Let’s form an alliance," Water Fairy said after some silence .

With regards to forming an alliance, there was currently no such system for it . Later when the game company optimized the guild system, guilds in alliances would be able to share a part of their warehouse . Even so, most guild alliances would choose not to do this .

"An alliance? Between Drizzle Court and Ruling Sword?" Lu Li frowned .

The commitment of forming an Alliance was too large . In Lu Li’s eyes, an alliance meant becoming total and complete allies .

His ideal alliance partner would be Peerless City, as both Ruling Sword and Peerless City were young guilds that had a strong momentum and were being targeted by the bigger guilds .

The members of Peerless City weren’t necessarily as strong as Blood Red War Flag, but they had the enthusiasm to make up for it .

As for Drizzle Court, Lu Li hadn’t have much of an impression with them other than the fact that they were all women . They hadn’t done anything particularly notable and definitely weren’t as strong as Peerless City .

"What, do you not like Drizzle Court?" Water Fairy sounded a little shy .

He didn’t know how many guilds had tried to form an alliance with Drizzle Court, but guilds like Blood Red War Flag definitely would have . She had never taken the initiative to make the offer and she also didn’t expect the answer that she was going to receive .

"Of course that’s not it," Lu Li quickly responded as he remembered that Drizzle Court was quite rich .

He never thought that he would dominate the gaming circle as this wasn’t something that could be done overnight . Players had been trying to do so for 200 hundred years . His only purpose in this game was to make money .

He then had second thoughts about Drizzle Court . They didn’t just recruit female players as the strength of their elite group was not that bad .

"If we form an alliance, we want to have a part in the Instance Dungeon Strategy for our elite group . " This was Water Fairy’s goal . If she could achieve this, she could show that she was not to be messed around with .

"Okay, but you have to pay for the strategies," Lu Li said bluntly .

"That’s so stingy; I’m already giving you the Synthetic Stone," Water Fairy complained, but she didn’t push it . A single stone wasn’t enough to form an alliance .

She just wanted Lu Li to understand its value .

"Alright then . If you want to know the strategy, talk to Square Root 3," Lu Li said with a sigh of relief before disconnecting from the call .

This alliance wasn’t the result of coercion . In the future, when everyone had settled and there were outbreaks of war over territories, there would be countless alliances between guilds, big and small . It was simply unavoidable .

As Lu Li put the equipment that they had recently received into the guild warehouse, he considered some other means of income, as the one with Shen Wansan had come to an end .

Recently, he had decided that he wanted to buy a house and have a real home of his own .

The money that they would make from the strategies didn’t belong to the whole guild, but to the Xin Xin Mercenary Group players .

As for the contribution points, Lu Li wasn’t taking them for himself . The strategies were all formulated by him after all . As such, no one would dare to ask for a split . Besides, they wouldn’t agree in the first place .

He didn’t go to get the Synthetic Stone, as even if he had it, he wouldn’t be able to use it .

If a level 40 equipment had its level requirement reduced by 20%, it would be level 32 . He still needed more than 80% EXP to get there .

Now that they had defeated Vishas, they needed to advance . There were a dense group of mobs ahead and they needed to clear a path through them .

It wasn’t long before news of the alliance with Drizzle Court spread through the guild .

Most players couldn’t believe it . If it weren’t the guild president Square Root 3 giving the news, the players would have thought that it was a joke .

Ordinary players thought that Drizzle Court were group of beautiful ladies; this was the common observation .

However, they were also a super guild . They ranked seventh on the national rankings, and this wasn’t acquired by a popular vote . This position was acquired by a variety of measures and a guild was unlikely to make this list even after a year of rapid growth .

And what did Ruling Sword have? They had won a championship, but they didn’t even have 10,000 players . Most of them weren’t even ranked and didn’t have much equipment . These kinds of players wouldn’t necessarily be accepted to the other guilds, even as cannon fodder .

The group that was most capable of representing their strength was the Elite Group . Even so, there were only 100 players in that . Without mentioning Glory Capital or Blood Red War Flag, even the Imperial Secret Service had seven to eight Elite Groups which were made up of a dozen parties each .

Drizzle Court had 26 Elite Groups and two core groups, which meant that they almost had 3000 elite players .

"Boss Lu Li must have given himself up . "

The idea was heard and soon, it was copied all across the channel .

Lu Li had given himself up so that Drizzle Court would accept them .

How touching~
