The Great Thief - Chapter 512

Chapter 512

"It’s already in your account," Water Fairy said as she sat down from across Lu Li . She didn’t seem to come to this place often and also had a veil on to ensure that no one recognized her .

Lu Li hadn’t brought his bandana . He kept a lower profile so not as many people recognized him .

It was probably also because he was a male and wasn’t handsome enough, so he wasn’t that popular .

This was the Southshore Tavern and it was always more relaxed as the day was getting late . Dawn had become a normal part of life, so most players treated it as such .

Those players that levelled crazily from morning till night weren’t normal people .

"You didn’t even give me any conditions before sending the money . " Lu Li had to admit that this female tycoon really knew how to win the hearts of people .

"If you don’t pay it back, I’ll let everyone know," Water Fairy said with a faint smile .

"How much did you send?" Lu Li couldn’t remember how much he said that he wanted . He wanted to borrow money from Water Fairy because it seemed like she wanted to grow closer to him .

If she was so rich, then lending some of her wealth wouldn’t be a problem .

Come to think of it, if he had known this female tycoon in his previous life…

When Lu Li thought about that he couldn’t help but shake his head . At that time, Water Fairy was still Water Fairy, but he was just some ordinary Gold Miner .

"5 million . That should be enough . " Water Fairy wasn’t worried about this money . Firstly, she trusted that Lu Li could pay it back and secondly, she believed that this would be a profitable long-term investment .

"Thank you, that is enough . I’ll return it as soon as I can," Lu Li nodded .

"You don’t have to be so polite; we’re friends . " Water Fairy had never felt so relieved about lending some money . It felt quite nice to be Lu Li’s creditor .

She was the creditor of the number one player in the game .

It wasn’t much different normally, but if he couldn’t pay when the time came…

"Players will soon start to play in Zul’Farrak . What are you plans?" Tanaris currently struck fear into the players’ hearts, but as long as they kept levelling, they would eventually come to this part of the map .

Zul’Farrak was a little boring for an Instance Dungeon; the players would mainly fight Trolls there . It was moderately difficult, but Lu Li hadn’t spent much time there in his previous life so he didn’t pay too much attention to its strategies either .

As such, when they decided to try and take the First Clear, it would be no easy task .

"We have to wait until the Advanced Healing Potion gets more popular . There is only one person in our guild that can make them, so if something happened, we would use them up very quickly," Water Fairy said .

"True . We fought a Boss today, but it’s been a long time since we’ve done an inventory check," Lu Li agreed .

"Why did you ask about this? Is Ruling Sword going to take the First Clear?" Water Fairy asked .

"We might have to wait a bit more – at least until the Magic Cup is almost over . I’m still not in a great condition…" Lu Li shook his head .

"Tch, if Nonsense heard that you’re in bad shape, he would be pretty offended," Water Fairy immediately laughed out loud .

"Who’s Nonsense?" Lu Li thought that this name was very strange .

"Oh him," Water Fairy explained, "He’s a hideous guy who leads a Mercenary Group . He is often hired by guilds to deal with things and he has some leading ability . He was the one that led the coalition’s forces this time, but he didn’t even see your players before his entire army was lost . "

"You say he didn’t even see me, but I can’t take credit for that . " Lu Li didn’t dare to claim that he was completely familiar with the map .

"Oh, so everything is a coincidence . I don’t really understand – most people wish they had abilities to be envied by others . You, on the other hand, have it the other way . You’re obviously a very strong person, but you pretend to be weak," Water Fairy said, unable to wrap her head around this .

"I grew up in the Common District . " Lu Li wasn’t his normal calm self and suddenly felt like pouring out his embarrassing origins .

Water Fairy was surprised to hear that Lu Li had been born in the Common District .

However, there was absolutely no feeling of contempt . Anyone who could get to where Lu Li was would be respected too .

His distraught past clearly showed that his life had not been easy, so most people would think that his rise was an epic story .

"The police don’t care about things there, but in order to suppress the people, a certain ranking would be released periodically . Those who were the loudest and most aggressive made it high on the rankings . These people would then be sent to labor camps, and when they came back a few months later, they would only be a shell of their original selves . But that wasn’t all – those who they offended in the past would come knocking and seeking retribution . "

"So the reason you keep a low profile is because of this?" The truth seemed too simple to Water Fairy .

"Yes . The principle is simple, but most people don’t understand it," Lu Li said as he swiped the Shard of the Defiler with his index finger and felt its sharpness .

"Rubbish . " Water Fairy rolled her eyes .

She was wearing a veil, so only her eyebrows were visible, yet the sight of her was still quite picturesque .

However, Lu Li couldn’t see her, so he finally moved onto the purpose of this conversation . "Do you think we could try this? We’ll put our potions together and form three teams of ten . We’ll then alternate teams . This way, we’ll definitely get the First Clear . "

"Oh, that’s quite an idea, but in that case, who gets the First Clear?" Water Fairy had to admit that Lu Li’s idea was good .

After the fourth system update, Profession Skills became harder . Skill cooldowns were no longer visible and there was also the introduction of Stamina, which required eating to regenerate . HP regen also became a more complicated process…

With two players making the potions, they could produce enough for a big guild to consume while getting a First Clear .

"You can have it if you want, as long as we split the rewards . " Lu Li knew what this tycoon wanted .

"Hrm . " Water Fairy didn’t want to refuse; equipment could be bought, but First Clears couldn’t . Drizzle Court currently did not have a First Clear on the record yet . If they did get one, their popularity would be greatly improved .

Regardless, Lu Li had the disadvantage here .

Even without Drizzle Court’s help with the potions, Water Fairy estimated that Ruling Sword was likely to get the First Clear anyway . They would probably take more time, but they would ultimately get the items .

However, Water Fairy wasn’t without integrity either . Although she hadn’t payed for the Kodo, she immediately tried to help Ruling Sword with their crisis .

The same was true of Lu Li . In recognition of her goodwill and trust, he wanted to give her a chance to get a First Clear .
