Chapter 558
There was nothing in the world that didn’t require effort to obtain, and if you wanted more, you would have to take some risks . This was true, even for someone like Lu Li had experienced Rebirth .
However, it didn’t actually end up costing Lu Li anything to open this chest . He was walking a tightrope the whole time and could have easily died at any moment . What was worse was that if he died without achieving his goal, this truly wouldn’t have been worth it .
In reality, the main difference between experts and regular players was that experts rarely operated at a loss . Quite often, this happened only because of bad luck .
Now that he was safe in the city, Lu Li was free to see what he acquired after his narrow escape .
It definitely wasn’t the skill book that he wanted . Although he didn’t see what item he had looted, he could feel that it wasn’t a book .
Darkmoon Card: Void (Special): Instant Use . Has a 50% chance of Revive . Upon a successful Revive, HP and Mana regen increased by 20%, EXP increased by -5%-10% . Number of uses remaining: 5/5 . Effective when item is placed in backpack . Equipment requirement: Level 10 .
Lu Li looked over this small and light card again and again . He couldn’t believe that this was the legendary revive card .
The Darkmoon set of cards were very famous . They were a set of eight cards that could be combined into one card . Each of them had a different effect . The Revive card was one of the special ones, and could only be dropped by monsters that were level 40 or higher . Its main function was to revive, but the players were more concerned with the strange EXP gain .
-5% to 10% was quite an unusual range
The -5% was understandable . Although you could be successfully revived, you would still lose 5% EXP, which was still better than the usual 10% .
But what about the 10%?
That’s right, you could potentially be rewarded with 10% EXP, which was quite the substantial amount . It was even more EXP than you could gain by killing a Boss .
Of course, the actual value could be anywhere between -5% and 10% .
This was simply a Fate card that was abnormally strong for this world .
Lu Li hadn’t acquired a Revive Card in his previous life, but he had killed someone who had one . The memory was still fresh in his mind . After he killed that person, he suddenly jumped up again .
Cheater!
At the time he was so shocked that his heart started beating frantically, and he was about to run away .
Although he didn’t find the skill book he wanted, this was definitely worth far more . If he sold it…
Why did he always think about Water Fairy when he was considering selling something?
This item was very valuable – it could easily for somewhere between 100,000 to 200,000 dollars . Most players were willing to bet on this kind of thing .
Although Lu Li needed money, this amount wasn’t going to solve his problem . As such, after a moment of hesitation, he decided to keep this card for this own use .
10% was a long time of farming for him . He looked at his EXP bar and saw that he could reach level 37 in less than 10% .
The competition was getting quite fierce and it was getting difficult to hold rank 1 in levels .
His next goal wasn’t to unlock more chests, and there was basically no danger in this one . He just wanted to burn some time on it, so Lu Li gave himself a time limit – 3 hours . If he didn’t fin
anything in 3 hours, he would give up .
There was one part of the Thief profession that was often overlooked: Pick Pocket .
Dawn had made this skill really bad, at least from the perspective of the Thieves .
First of all, you couldn’t Pick Pocket other players or Bosses, which was already quite a restriction .
Moreover, you couldn’t Pick Pocket targets that were too high of a level . The greater the level difference, the higher the probability of failure . If your target was more than 3 levels higher, you simply couldn’t Pick Pocket them .
As such, Lu Li chose the level 35 monsters in Stranglethorn Vale . If he successfully used Cheap Shot, he could easily kill them, but the EXP gained was almost negligible .
Three hours was the maximum amount of time Lu Li was willing to spend – anymore and it wouldn’t be worth it .
The Stranglethorn Vale was probably the largest area of Azeroth, so naturally, it was filled with all sorts of monsters . The level of the monsters widely varied, from level 10, all the way until level 50 .
It was also rich in herbs and mineral resources . The endless beasts that could be found in the forest convinced some players who invested in the Skinning Trade Skill to make this place their temporary home .
Lu Li had been here several times, but he didn’t really like it .
The first reason was because the confrontation between camps here was unlike Gray Valley . It was very chaotic and killings weren’t always justified .
The whole quality of life was quite low .
The second was the regular rainfall which created an unbearably humid environment .
Thieves generally didn’t like a climate like this . When Lu Li came out of the Teleportation Channel in Booty Bay, he ignored a businessman goblin’s enthusiastic attempt to sell him an umbrella .
That item was impressive, but useless . It probably couldn’t even resist a Voodoo Potion .
Lu Li’s goal was a group of trolls who specialized in espionage and assassinations – Troll Assassins and Troll Scouts . These were Trolls with the Thief Profession .
No one ever approached these monsters because they were just too hard to kill .
Lu Li slowly approached a troll who was crouched by a tree and saw the Pick Pocket prompt appear .
System: Pick Pocket succeeded, obtained Sinister Rogue Leggings .
The name sounded impressive, but it was just a common equip . No monster would produce Gold equipment .
Lu Li had actually managed to steal this monster’s pants as the green skin underneath was revealed to him . Fortunately, he couldn’t steal the underwear, otherwise, the monster would be walking about completely exposed .
Without any pants, the troll suddenly stood up .
Lu Li quickly reacted and stunned him with Cheap Shot before he could turn around . He then went through a rotation of his skills and quickly dealt with this level 35 monster .
It was almost no trouble at all .
The drop was even worse – it was a dozen of copper coins . If it weren’t for the habits that had been drilled into him in his previous life, he probably wouldn’t have even taken the time to bend over and pick it up .
After picking up the coins, he looked for his next target .
This was Lu Li’s simple and boring Pick Pocket Skill .
There was a decent chance of pick-pocketing a Skill Book from these Trolls . However, it was almost impossible for them to drop one .
In fact, when it was widely known that these skill books could be pick-pocketed from these trolls, this place would become a common destination for Thieves .
Regardless of how bad the attack was, it was still an area-of-effect attack .
Fighting in the rainforest was quite difficult, and Lu Li spent most of the time drenched . He could even feel his mind becoming numbed by his environment .
He hoped that something would happen so he wouldn’t need to deal with this boredom and loneliness, even if it was a group of mercenaries sent to kill him .
