The Great Thief - Chapter 453

Chapter 453
The siblings began discussing about their dream house in the game .


Lu Li wanted to give his sister some hope in life, a hope that their future would only get better and that they would only become richer . He wanted her to know that they would be living in big, clean houses and that they would be able to purchase whatever they liked .
Lu Xin had a more pessimist perspective in mind; she hoped that her brother would remain happy in the game if anything was to happen to her .
This was a sad topic and didn’t match up with the festive atmosphere around them .
The two of them came across a roulette, so they decided to test their luck .
This was a design by the gaming company and all rights belonged to Dawn . If anyone was to make this design on their own, they would be charged with a crime and persecuted by the internet police .
A silver coin was required to participate in the event .
Each player was limited to ten spins, and each spin after that would cost a gold coin . Based on the rewards that the roulette offered, any player that played more than ten times was either a hardcore gambler a or a millionaire .
"Me first! Me first!" Lu Xin was very interested .
She snatched over the joystick and turned her excited face to Lu Li, who obediently tossed a silver coin into the machine .
The joystick moved slightly and the roulette began to spin as Lu Xin stomped her foot . The roulette had begun to spin before she even tried to use any strength; she was certain that she wasn’t going to get anything good .
Her strength honestly had nothing to do with the results .
The needle on the roulette landed on the bar for experience, and a white light covered over Lu Xin as she leveled up on the spot .


This only happened because her level was too low; she was only level eleven .
On the second time, she received a twelve-space bag .
On the third time, she received a level 15 Steel equip .
Her fourth try rewarded her with nothing .
On the fifth time . . .
After ten tries, Lu Xin still hadn’t received anything decent . Of course, she wasn’t impressed – there was a bar on the roulette with the text "Dark Gold Equipment" .
That bar was extremely small; it was almost as thin as a hair .
However, there was nothing more she could do about it; there was no way that Lu Xin would spend another gold coin to continue spinning .
Now, it was Lu Li’s turn, but he wasn’t particularly lucky – he received an experience reward three times . With the experience received from the Headless Paladin event, he was currently half way to level 34 .
The only surprise was probably the Halloween Magic Wand – Squirrel . This was an item that was only available during Halloween and had a seven-day time limit .
Lu Li used the item on his sister, and Lu Xin began to see her world grow bigger . Under the effect of the wand, she had been transformed into a squirrel with a nut in her hand .
Lu Li bent over to pick her up and placed her on his shoulders .


This was the amazing part about virtual gaming; it was what made games attractive . This was a world that was entirely beyond imagination .
There were plenty other games like the roulette – for example, riddles, chess and whack-a-mole . The variety of the games aimed to ensure that everyone could find something that they were good at .

The squirrel only lasted for two minutes, and after this, Lu Xin returned to normal . It was a strange feeling to sit on her brother’s shoulder, but she refused to transform again .
Of course, Lu Li refused to transform into a squirrel too; he was used to being the protector .
Soon, they received another Halloween Magic Wand from the event, which was capable of turning its target into an ogre .
Under the request of Lu Xin, Lu Li transformed into a tall ogre .
His body was more than two meters tall and he had two heads .
This was a strange feeling; Lu Li was even able to make his two heads converse with each other, as long as he didn’t make the two heads speak at the same time . After all, he wasn’t a real ogre .
Hence, everyone saw a little girl seat herself between the heads of an ogre with each of her hands placed on a head as she chuckled .
If his sister was happy, Lu Li was happy too . Maintaining an image meant nothing to him .
Their new combination attracted even more attention than before, as the people around them discovered a new way to play with the Halloween Magic Wand .
Of course, Lu Xin also received more candy than before .
Without even realizing, they had already amassed more than 700 candies .
This meant that there were around 700 people who had given candy to Lu Xin .
The amount of candy they had almost allowed them to trade for a cat pet, which was Lu Xin’s ultimate goal . Lu Li had originally planned to ask his guild members to help him .
Halloween was a festival that produced a lot of pets . These pets couldn’t do any damage and had little value, but they were deeply loved by their owners .
The pet system was a good strategy by Dawn that helped their game rise in popularity .
If you kept a pet in the game and you really liked it, you would come online daily to see it .
Besides the entertainment, the Halloween event also offered a great amount of experience . Since Lu Li’s level was too high, the experience rewards didn’t affect him too much, but Lu Xin had already become level 18 after some minor participation .
They went with the flow of the festival for a day . Not only did they relax, but they also received more experience from the event than leveling up in the wild .
Lu Li’s goal was to take his sister around; he wasn’t trying to achieve anything .
He had barely spent any time with his sister in the past two months and the surgery wasn’t entirely without its risks . As such, the siblings treasured the time they had with each other .
"I want to eat this . " Like a little Queen enjoying her ride, the little girl pointed at the barbecue on a player’s stall .
It was rare for Lu Xin, who was mostly obedient, to show this side .
"Alright, alright, we’ll eat this . I’ll get it for you," Lu Li said as he went over and bought the item without a single bit of complaint .
"This flower is so pretty; I’ve never seen it before . . . " You couldn’t blame her for her reaction – these flowers didn’t exist in real life . Apparently, they had gone extinct around 200 years ago .
"These flowers are only found around Feralas," Lu Li explained .
"Since you’re so knowledgeable, I’ll give them to you for a silver coin each . " The player who sold these flowers was impressed; it wasn’t easy for someone to recognize them at such a quick glance . After all, the game had only been out for two months .
"Profit lies everywhere; there’s so many ways to make money . " Lu Li himself was impressed by the other player too . He took out a few silver coins to purchase a small bouquet of flowers .
A silver coin was worth around a dollar . It wasn’t much, but Lu Li could guarantee that this player had at least thousands of these flowers in his bag . These plants had no value and one space in the bag could contain around a hundred units of these flowers .
"I want to tie them on your horns . " Lu Xin had too many things in her hands, so she wasn’t able to hold onto the flowers . As she quickly glanced around, she came up with a new idea .
There was a sharp horn on each head of the ogre .
Lu Li was speechless; he was definitely a shame to the ogre race . If other ogres were to find out, there would be no way out for him .
However, since his sister had made a request, he had to do whatever he could to fulfill it .
Without even hesitating, he nodded his head and said, "Sure . Do you want me to transform again before you tie it? The item only lasts for two minutes . "
If the players found out who he was, Ruling Sword would probably be the biggest joke of Halloween this time .
