"It doesn’t matter . I doubt you would choose to join a bad faction anyway . Say it, what’s your price?" Water Fairy said without hesitation . She didn’t place her confidence in Ravenholdt Manor, but instead, she placed her confidence in Lu Li’s choice .
"Do you solve everything with money?" Lu Li suddenly felt like he didn’t like the way she spoke .
This was something that was hard for him to imagine; he didn’t really understand why either . Indeed, he did like money, and as long as money was involved, everything was negotiable .
Besides Lu Xin, what could possibly be more important in this world than money?
However, he quickly dismissed his feelings . Before Water Fairy got to speak, he gestured with his hands and said, "500,000 first . No refunds, no matter what happens, and another 500,000 on top after it’s done .
A million dollars for a guide – other people probably would’ve thought that he was crazy .
In 2015, the entire gaming industry raked in a total of 900 billion USD . After two hundred years had passed, this number had multiplied and the gaming industry had become the largest contributor to the entertainment industry . However, only a small amount of the rich people would be willing to pay a million dollars to play a game .
"Okay . "
Water Fairy happened to be one of those rich people; she didn’t even try to lower the price .
"We’ll talk while doing the quest . "
Lu Li had just sealed a big deal, but he barely felt happy .
In order not to attract unnecessary attention, they played the game safely and only engaged when they ran into a good chance . They spent most of the time in Stealth mode as they waited for their chance, and only killed three Syndicates after an hour .
"In order to join the Assassin League . . . " Lu Li began to explain his strategies to Water Fairy .
"What’s the Assassin League?" Water Fairy asked .
"The Assassin League refers to the Ravenholdt Manor, or perhaps the Ravenholdt Manor is a part of the Assassin League, but this is only my guess . " Since they couldn’t rush the quest, Lu Li was patient .
Messages were sent with their consciousness . It was silent and wasn’t troublesome either .
"Assassin League…The name sounds pretty cool; it feels like it’s suitable for Thieves . You even told me it’s not good . " Water Fairy immediately liked it as soon as she heard the name .
"Thieves are the same as Assassins . " Lu Li felt tired talking to girls – they were already off topic .
"Continue . How do I join?" Water Fairy asked .
"You need a Ravenholdt Emblem first . Something like this," Lu Li said as he waved the Syndicate Emblem in his hands .
"So I need to kill recruits from Ravenholdt Manor to loot the emblem?"
It sounded simple and the guide didn’t sound like it was worth a million, but Water Fairy didn’t think that Lu Li would lie for his money . Gaming masters had their own pride .
"We’re only getting these emblems because we have a quest, and these are quest items too . Once you attack someone from the Ravenholdt Manor, you’d instantly become an enemy . How would you join the faction then," Lu Li said, shaking his head .
"Then what should I do instead? I’ll listen to you . " Water Fairy responded .
"All of the compulsory quests to join the Ravenholdt Manor are in Southshore . The hostess of the Southshore is in charge of the Alliance players, while the Thief Skills Trainer in Tarren Mill is for the Horde faction . . . "
He didn’t bother suggesting to Water Fairy to find Doan . Doan didn’t have a good chance to drop the emblem and the average teams weren't capable of completing the dungeon in Nightmare mode either .
"Do you mean we’ll send people to keep an eye on these two?" Water Fairy asked, her eyes glistening .
"Do you want me to talk, or do you want to do the talking?" Lu Li felt a little weak; the girl was too smart .
He spent the majority of his time with girls like Hachi Chan and Remnant Dream, who were both cute, but not too smart . It was hard for him to adjust to talking to someone like Water Fairy, who always managed to finish his sentences for him .
"You do the talking . " Water Fairy secretly rolled her eyes .
And he claims that he wasn’t chauvinistic .
"Send someone to keep watch all the time . As soon as the target is found, we’ll both act on it . " Lu Li coughed for a bit before he continued, "You have some people in the Horde faction too, right? Keeping watch shouldn’t be too hard for you . "
"No problem at all . What’s after?"
"You’ll have to wait for news . The emblem is an item that will definitely drop . We just have to wait for the target; there’s no where they’d be able to escape," Lu Li said .
Even Sorrowless wouldn’t be able to make it out alive with two of the best Thieves targeting him .
As he explained the guide for Ravenholdt Manor to Water Fairy, they also harvested the lives of the Syndicates . One by one, these unlucky characters turned into experience for the two Thieves .
Eventually, there were only two Syndicate Emblems left until the quest was completed .
"There’s about half an hour left until the game time for today is over . Should we get closer," Water Fairy asked Lu Li as she hid in the bushes .
"Be patient . "
They had killed almost everything in the outer circle, but the monsters were closer together in the inner circle . They had encountered a Syndicate Thief previously, and had only managed to stay hidden because Lu Li was quick enough and used a Cheap Shot on his target with his cape .
Water Fairy turned her head to look at the calm face of Lu Li; she felt like he wasn’t brave at all .
Most guys would try to act brave and make themselves look good in front of girls .
The firewood wasn’t dry enough and the campfires made a constant crackling noise . Quite a few Syndicate recruits had already entered the tent to rest and night patrols had started to take action . They didn’t notice that they had lost eight comrades .
"Kill the one beside the campfire," Lu Li whispered .
"Isn’t it too dangerous to get near the campfire?" Water Fairy disagreed .
Just when she thought he was conservative, he had suddenly become radical .
"His comrades are all patrolling now . That position is the blind spot for the others . The distance is further too . If we be careful, we should fine . " Lu Li didn’t care if he was conservative or radical – all he saw was his chance .
Water Fairy nodded her head and successfully used Cheap Shot after she snuck closer .
There was only the sound of a dagger entering flesh that echoed in the air . The Syndicate Guard was entirely controlled by the two Thieves .
Kidney Strike proved its worth in this situation .
Poof!
Lu Li didn’t expect the guard to drop his sword and make such a big noise .
Shouldn’t the guard have been holding onto his sword tightly even after his death?
"Who’s there?" Following a loud shout, the entire Syndicate camp erupted into activity .
"Run!"
Water Fairy jumped into the ruins on the side and quickly left her original spot .
Magic and arrows flew by, and people ran around frantically . Although these Syndicate characters weren’t strong as individuals, they were all experienced . They tracked them down based on their scent and voices .
Water Fairy ran fast, not daring to stay in her spot and let herself be surrounded by level 35 monsters .
After a few turns, she finally got rid of her pursuers . When she turned around, she realized that Lu Li wasn’t following behind her like usual .
"Did he die?" Water Fairy scratched her head in confusion .
