The Great Thief - Chapter 514

Chapter 514

Lu Li hadn’t been participating in the competition, until the third day of his sister’s surgery . Her condition was now stable and he was notified in the morning that he could visit her .

Since the surgery was very successful, her cardiac pacing device had already been removed .

Of course, the tubes and testing equipment still continued to function .

Lu Li wore a protective suit as he carefully approached her . With an isolation shield between them, his voice didn’t sound real, but it was still clear .

"Xin Xin, the doctor said you’ll get better soon . "

Lu Xin’s mouth moved and Lu Li had to get closer to hear her .

"Don’t worry about me . Play your game and earn money . " There weren’t many emotional words; Lu Xin was used to the harshness of reality .

To prevent infection, Lu Li was soon requested to leave the ward .

After Lu Xin’s condition fully stabilized, she would be moved from the isolation ward to the transplant ward before leaving the hospital . During this month, she needed to remain isolated, and even her food had to be sterilized .

If not for the consideration of the patient’s mental state, it would have been best to turn down all visitors .

The three lady landlords watched over Lu Xin behind the glass .

Water Fairy said that she wanted to visit and Lu Li couldn’t turn her down, but he suggested that she visit after a month .

By then, Lu Xin would be in a completely healthy state . All that she would need is continuous treatment for her immune system and the regular check-ups .

To be prepared for all kinds of accidents that may occur, the three best nurses in Jinling looked after Lu Xin . They took different shifts so that there was someone on watch every single moment of the day .

After Lu Xin left the hospital, Lu Li also decided to hire a nurse to accompany her .

At the same time, he would most likely rent a place in Jinling near the hospital . If anything was to go wrong, it could be solved as quickly as possible .

Of course, the expenses weren’t cheap either .

The hospital was located in the wealthy section and Jinling was more urbanized compared to Jiangnan, so all of the living expenses were much higher .

Lu Li took out his gaming helmet and linked it with the internet in the lounge outside the ward . He decided to play Dawn on the couch . Since he was an important customer, the hospital didn’t restrict him .

"It’s impossible without you," Square Root 3 complained over the phone, venting out his frustrations .

"We’ve only lost two games; what are you worried about? Monkey did well and Mu Qiu did too . Everything is going in a good direction," Lu Li replied after he went online and continued to level up .

"What do you mean we only lost two matches? If we lose another one, we won’t even be able to make it into the top eight," Square Root 3 said .

"Alright, I’ll go on next match . There’s another half an hour before that; I should be able to reach level 35 . " Lu Li picked up the copper coins that the monsters dropped and looked at his experience bar .

Leveling up at his level was so hard for him .

Besides the fact that a lot of experience was required, he was also affected by what was happening in real life .

Lonesome Flower, who was currently second place, was already level 34 with half of his experience bar filled . There were also a few people who had reached level 34 . Sorrowless was now ranked at the twelfth position, and had just reached level 34 this morning .

When a level difference no longer existed and these celebrity players had all gotten used to the game mechanics, Lu Li could excel by working harder .

However, Square Root 3 wasn’t expecting him to attend the match .

"How about you just rest up . "

Any mistake, even a small mistake, would be critical to the match’s outcome . As such, the competitors needed to be intensely focused, but it seemed like Lu Li wasn’t in his best state .

"You’re the one who claimed it was impossible without me," Lu Li sighed and was quite speechless .

"You can stay as a substitute . " Square Root 3 was rather worried; he subconsciously thought that this was the best decision .

The next match was too important for Ruling Sword . If they lost, they wouldn’t even make it to the top eight .

Square Root 3 couldn’t accept a result like this – the Magic Cup was a medium-sized competition that only some major guilds participated in .

"Sure, I might even be able to act as a surprise . " Lu Li also couldn’t accept the same result . He thought about what his fragile sister had said to him in the morning and was determined to work even harder .

There’s still about an hour until the match starts; be prepared . " The weight on Square Root 3’s chest had been lifted; he felt much easier with Lu Li .

It seemed as if nothing would be a problem as long as Lu Li was there .

"Oh, and who are we up against?" Lu Li asked .

The most unfair part of Magic Cup was that they picked matchups in a random draw . If you were lucky, you might never run into a single strong team at all .

"Majin Temple . They’re pretty strong right now, so don’t look down on them," Square Root 3 advised .

There were two experienced players in the gaming industry that people often looked down on, one of them being Unforgettable Maple from Majin Temple . He was a cunning player who was capable of leading a guild that mainly consisted of middle-aged, casual players . It was not hard to imagine how smart he actually was .

The other one was Wood Fearing from Gods of Dusk; he was a player who never gave up .

Ruling Sword had fought Majin Temple before in the past, but Lu Li hadn’t participated in that match . However, Unforgettable Maple didn’t think that way . He was certain that Lu Li was sitting in the substitute section, waiting to beat him up when he wasn’t expecting it . As such, he was very careful and restricted himself a lot with his playstyle . The results were imaginable – Moonlight and the others won a strange victory .

This time, they ran into each other on the match ground again .

Unforgettable Maple laughed loudly after he received his draw results .

His team members asked him what he was laughing about, to which he replied, "Last time I was tricked by them, but this time, I’ll definitely beat them . "

"But we can’t be sure if Lu Li will participate," his underlings said as they blinked their eyes in confusion .

Unforgettable Maple patted his underlings on the head and laughed, "There’s nothing to be worried about with Lu Li . From what I see, this is not training their new players . There’s no reason for them to lose so many matches to train new players . There has to be a reason why Lu Li can’t play in the matches . It’s either because he received a chain quest that he can’t leave, or something happened in reality . "

"But boss…" The little underling looked at Unforgettable Maple in admiration, but he was even more confused at this point . "Lu Li just levelled up . "

"Levelled up?" Unforgettable Maple looked at the level ranking and saw that Lu Li had just reached level 35 .

"Is he doing a quest? That’s a lot of experience," the underling asked .

"Yes, he must be doing a quest . I’m going to destroy that Monkey; how dare he play a Mage class in front of me," Unforgettable Maple said with a look of determination on his face .
