Chapter 419
Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations
There was no way that Lu Li had died; he just didn’t run with Water Fairy . While Water Fairy ran away, he found a discreet place to hide by himself .
The campsite was in a mess; they had only just noticed that nine people were missing .
They actually didn’t need to count who was missing one-by-one – there would be people who reported on the missing members from their team . What followed was fear and rage .
Around a hundred people had become prey and nine of them were actually killed .
"Ravenholdt – it must be them . Find them! I’m going to break every single one of their bones!"
The commander, who was a semi-boss, instructed the Syndicate recruits to find the killers from their opposing faction .
The system gave them wisdom . In their heads, this was the Ravenholdt Manor provoking them .
The time when everything had begun remained unknown, but Ravenholdt and the Syndicate had been enemies for a long time, and players from these factions often fought against each other .
The loss of rational thinking and their tracking gave Lu Li a chance .
Their team formation had been broken, as most of them went to chase down Water Fairy . The few Syndicate Hunters were all sent out to cast Flare along the way .
Lu Li was once again happy for himself that he had chosen a good place to hide .
The heavy wall and the trees along the wall provided him a good hiding place, a place that wouldn’t expose him under the Flares .
As the crowd left, Lu Li came out from his hiding place .
The entire camp had settled and only a few recruits remained on guard .
Lu Li walked around the camp and actually managed to find a few weaklings . There were a few injured recruits in the barracks . This was when he finally realized the shortcut to the ques – the easiest targets were these injured recruits .
They only had half of a health bar and were mostly asleep or unconscious .
Lu Li spent an entire seven minutes to carefully kill five injured recruits . Soon, a dark red raven rose into the night and drew a dark light across the night sky .
Chances are, when the Syndicate Commander returned, he would be very cranky .
Lu Li landed close to Water Fairy . He had already seen the message that Water Fairy sent; he just didn’t have time to reply .
"Who . . . who’s there?" Any movement in the middle of the night seemed frightening, not to mention Water Fairy had just been pursued by a pack of level 35 monsters .
"It’s me," Lu Li said as he walked out from the dark . The moonlight was dim, so his appearance seemed extra-eerie .
"You didn’t die?" Water Fairy asked as she examined Lu Li .
"Of course not," Lu Li shook his head .
"So, you left a girl and ran on your own . "
Water Fairy decided to look down on Lu Li, but she discovered that Lu Li was too shameless to even recognize this . He didn’t think there was anything wrong with his actions .
"I didn’t run, you did," Lu Li corrected her calmly .
" . . . " as expected from a smart person, Water Fairy immediately understood . "You used me as a bait?"
"Yeah, you run pretty fast," Lu Li complimented .
"Damn you!" Why did she feel like this guy was being spiteful? Water Fairy wasn’t impressed .
"Mission completed . I have to thank you for your help," Lu Li thanked her sincerely, then checked the time . "It’s late now . Let’s go offline and rest . "
Under the shocked gaze of Water Fairy, Lu Li teleported back to the city and his team portrait immediately dimmed out .
If she had a mirror by her side, she would have checked herself out, just to see if the Syndicate had poured sulfuric acid on her face .
After he went offline, Lu Li immediately went to his sister’s room .
Ding, ding, ding . . .
Lu Li pressed the doorbell again and again, which was connected to the virtual device .
This was the action that he had to repeat constantly over the past few days to send his sister to bed . She was a trading-skill player, so she had an extra two hours of game time compared to Lu Li, who was a combat player .
The gaming device kept the players in a light sleep, but combat players would use a little more energy .
"I had already slept . You woke me up," Lu Xin said as she opened her door with a sleepy look on her face .
"Stop pretending . You were still online when I went offline . " Lu Li was speechless – it had only been a short amount of time and she had already learned how to lie to him .
"Bro…" Lu Xin felt slightly awkward .
"Hand over your helmet," Lu Li commanded as he extended his hands .
"No! I’m about to reach advanced level in Alchemy . Just another hour…" Lu Xin begged as she batted her watery eyes .
Lu Li’s eyes were slightly longer than hers, and they were black and deep . Lu Xin’s eyes were quite round, so she seemed extra cute when she batted them .
"Xin Xin…" Lu Li bent forwards so that he was staring at his sister in her face . "If you don’t listen, we’re moving out . "
"Ah! You’re threatening me!" Lu Xin exclaimed in shock .
A long time ago, when they moved out from the old house, she had wanted a home of her own . But now, her thoughts had begun to change . She was scared when she first moved into an unfamiliar place, but the three big sisters here had been extra nice to her and she had grown to like them .
"We have money now . We can afford to rent an entire house like this . " Lu Li didn’t feel ashamed to threaten a little girl at all . He patted his sister’s head and said, "Pass over your helmet . I’ll give it back to you after I wake up . "
" . . . " Lu Xin pouted her lips, then ran back and brought out her helmet . "Bro, can you get me a recipe for an Advanced Healing Potion?"
"Nope," Lu Li declined without a second thought . "Even if I have it, I won’t give it to you . "
"Why?" Lu Xin was envious of the alchemist who had learned the Advanced Healing Potion recipe . The alchemist was treated like a celebrity in the guild .
"If you learn that now, you’re going to have to make a lot of potions . It’s too tiring," Lu Li comforted .
Lu Xin wasn’t an unreasonable child; she understood that she needed good rest too . As such, she was only slightly disappointed and didn’t press on the topic .
"The hospital called me yesterday; there’s good news . I think we’ll be asked for a re-examination within these few days," Lu Li said gently as she pressed on his sister’s shoulders .
Lu Xin’s face was slightly pale . "Do I have to go through surgery?"
In an advanced age like this, it was easy for a little girl to search and learn about heart transplants .
"Don’t worry, I’ll find the best doctor for you . "
A sour taste rested at the tip of his tongue, but he didn’t give in on this topic . There were no escape for some things .
