The Great Thief - Chapter 513

Chapter 513: Critical Strike and Burning Effect Playstyle
After a brief chat, the hostess finally got rid of a bunch of other players . She saw that Lu Li and Water Fairy were sitting together and was quite surprised, but she immediately returned to her normal expression before anyone caught her .


As an assassin of a higher-level, Water Fairy’s mask was non-existent to her .
There was also a common skill in the game called Detection that could be learned by any class . This skill gave a certain chance of detecting masked, transformed and Stealthed targets .
Of course, the drop rate for the skill book was ridiculously low; Lu Li had only heard of it in legends .
"What would you like?" the hostess asked .
"Wine . "
"Wine . "
They both chose wine and responded at the same time .
The hostess’ gloomy expression finally lifted a little; she was the one who made the wine .
She liked the choice made by these two players and the tiny bit of unhappiness from being tricked completely disappeared .
A man who liked drinking wouldn’t choose wine as it wasn’t strong enough . A classy girl wouldn’t choose wine either as it wasn’t classy enough, and also had a strange, grassy taste to it .


"What was wrong her?" Water Fairy asked softly after the hostess left to pour the drinks .
"She’s a bit upset . She probably noticed that I was the one who brought you into Assassin League . " Lu Li was paying close attention . After all, the hostess was the one who gave him his quests . Any details of their interaction could be linked with an important quest .
"No way, she… she’s just a-" Water Fairy was surprised .
"Yeah, there’s plenty of them like that in Dawn . " Lu Li didn’t think there was anything wrong with Water Fairy’s way of thinking . At this stage, all of the players were still stuck on the same level of thinking .
After they come into contact with more of these NPC, they would begin to discover that the design of these NPCs was sometimes even more complex than a human .
"Now what?" Water Fairy wasn’t afraid of any players, but she was afraid of upsetting an NPC .
"Say thanks for the wine . How come you like this wine too?" Lu Li figured that their threat had already passed .
The hostess wouldn’t take revenge on them, and they could find some accessories to regain their reputation .
"Because it has the taste of grass . No one played with me when I was a kid, so I liked to lie down in the garden and sometimes fell asleep there . Mum and dad spoke to me about it multiple times, but I couldn’t get rid of the habit . " Water Fairy seemed a bit lost as she recalled her childhood .
The wine was quickly served and Lu Li picked up the wood cup, gently running his fingers under it . A note was in his hands .


Water Fairy picked up on his action, but was stopped by Lu Li before she made a sound .

"What’s this?" Water Fairy followed Lu Li’s actions and also received a small note .
"Have you received any quests from Assassin League?" Lu Li asked .
"No… the hostess never bothered to talk to me . After I completed the entrance quest, she ignored me . " Water Fairy was a smart person and quickly realized, "Was this how we were supposed to receive quests?"
This was worse than not being given any quests at all .
"Sh . This is a secret, so don’t let other people notice . Look at the quest after you leave," Lu Li said as she placed the note inside his bag and began to drink his wine .
"You know so much . " Water Fairy’s wasn’t judging; she was impressed .
In rising to her current position, her background was only one aspect . Otherwise, she would be no different from any other rich, second-generation child . What was most important were her abilities as an individual .
Lu Li was one of the rare people who impressed her . At some point during their interaction, her subconscious had told her that this was someone with abilities . He was like her, and was worth her time as a friend .
"There’s barely any time left; let’s talk some other time . If the quest is hard, you can consider my help," Lu Li paused, then added, "but my price isn’t low, so be prepared . "
Water Fairy was stunned as she watched Lu Li walk out, most likely returning to Darnassus .
After a while, she held her forehead and sighed; he just never stopped thinking about money . She began to question if she had become uglier and even spent more time in the morning looking in her mirror .
However, Lu Li’s persistence for money wasn’t the kind that people would hate .
He didn’t steal, rob, or trick others for money, and followed the rules of the game and society .
A man with a goal was always attractive .
There was still some game time left, so most players were still leveling up or battling in dungeons . Players who were tired spent their time improving their trade skills . Lu Li, on the other hand, just wanted to sit outside his sister’s hospital ward .
He left the game and sat quietly on the couch outside the ward .
He had spent millions, so the location that the hospital had provided him was quite decent . Lu Li could see what was going on inside from the small window .
Lu Xin lay on a giant bed, her fragile face pale and with different kinds of tubes attached to her .
Lu Li felt like there were two kinds of unbearable pain in this world .
One was hunger, and the other was watching his sister suffer .
Unfortunately, there were just some things in life that couldn’t be avoided .
There was an extra five million dollars in his account which was from the loan money . Lu Li was worried that something might happen and that he wouldn’t have the time to borrow money . With this extra sum, he wouldn’t have any worries .
On the second day, there was another small surgery that was required to take place . Lu Li was worried and didn’t go online for the whole day .
According to his landlords, Ruling Sword had lost another round in the morning to Seventh Heaven . Lucky Southern Persian led the team and showed off his famous, but shameless planning .
He used Fat Monkey’s impatience and baited him to dive deeper into the enemy team’s line, then killed him when he was too far away from his team members .
They didn’t lose the other round in the afternoon, mostly because their opponents were quite average . Most people didn’t understand how The Great Qin Empire Union had made it into the round of 16 .
However, after this, their luck ran out . Fat Monkey, who was quite upset, forged a name for himself in this match .
His positioning and lineup of skills caused a lot of trouble for the Warrior and Thief that he was facing . They became a target for Fat Monkey to show off his technique .
Fat Monkey’s Critical Strike and burning-effect playstyle consisted of a few burning skills with high damage, a pair of shoes with high movement speed, a set of equipment with high Critical Strike chance, and if possible, a special effect that could create distance . Apparently, all of the fire Mages on the stage were very emotional because they had finally found their position in PVP .
Lu Li wasn’t surprised by this result; gold was bound to shine wherever it went .
