The Great Thief - Chapter 561

Chapter 561: Strange Terms
It couldn’t be helped; he had to add him to his friend list . It was rare for Lu Li to add anyone to his friend list, so even up until this day, he only had a few players on it .


Celebrity players sometimes contacted each other, but everyone mostly talked in chat rooms, so there was no need to add each other . The last friend request he had accepted was from Unforgettable Maple two days ago .
Some people played games to socialize, but Lu Li never felt like he was good with his social abilities . He trusted these issues to Square Root 3; all he needed to do was constantly improve his strength .
The other player immediately accepted .
"I heard you have an Ancient Magical Eye?" Lu Li asked, getting straight to the point .
"Yes, I have one . You must be the one who placed the quest up in the Mercenary Hall . Wait…you’re Lu Li – the Lu Li who is ranked number one on the level rankings!" Laugh Into the Heavens exclaimed, realizing who had added him as a friend .
"Yes, I’m Lu Li," Lu Li confirmed .
Players who were friends could check each other’s level and online status; there wasn’t a way to fool anyone else with this .
"Oh goodness, it’s you! No wonder why you needed this Ancient Magical Eye . " Laugh into the Heavens took a while to calm himself down; his voice was still high pitched .
"I don’t feel like I’m any different to anyone else . "
Lu Li spent most of his time in an isolated state . Due to his upbringing, he had also become used to ignoring the negative attention of others around him . He still hadn’t realized that no one looked down on him and his sister anymore . At least, in the game, no one could ignore his presence .
"Let’s meet up, master gamer," Laugh into the Heavens sugggested .


"I feel like… you talk a lot like Shen Wansan . "
Lu Li always had accurate instincts, which were especially helped by the way that this player talked to him . He sounded a lot like Shen Wansan .
"You know Shen Wansan? Then that’s even more reason for us to sit down and have a good talk . I’ve known Shen Wansan for many years…"
"You’re in sales," Lu Li realized . If there was anyone who owned an Ancient Magical Eye at this stage of the game, it was either a lucky player who had received it from a quest, a mercenary group or a businessman .
"Half, only half-a-businessman," Laugh into the Heavens explained .
"Sure, I’ll be in the Elf City . There’s a Elven tea bar there that’s quite decent . Come over, I’ll pay," Lu Li said before finally adding, "Might as well bring the Ancient Magical Eye too . "
"Of course, there’s no way I’d lie to you," Laugh into the Heavens laughed .
Elf City was a business district in Darnassus . It wasn’t as rowdy as Stormwind City, but it was special in its own way . The shadows under the green trees danced with a magical color, and many players liked this area .
Stormwind City and Ironforge had the best bars . Those who enjoyed drinking didn’t like the fruit wine made by the Elves . However, the Elves made good tea .
The servers in the tea bar were all players . When Lu Li entered, he thought that he had entered into a restaurant in the real world .
"Someone else is coming . Find me a quiet spot and bring us two cups of tea with four random desserts," Lu Li said as he followed the waiter into a booth .


He waited for a while and saw a buff man enter .

"Hi, I’m Laugh into the Heavens . "
The man was a human, but he had the figure of a Tauren . It was hard to tell if he was buff in real life, or if he had used some kind of item .
This was someone who was completely different from Shen Wansan . Shen Wansan’s style was rather deliberate – people could easily tell he was a businessman .
Laugh Into the Heavens, on the other hand, was dressed like a battle-class player .
"Nice to meet you . Do you have the goods?" Lu Li shook his head, but he was most concerned about the Magical Ancient Eye .
"Of course . Look, this is the real deal," Laugh Into the Heavens said as he showed Lu Li the item . Light moved around within it, making it seem as if the eyeball was still alive .
"This is the real one indeed . How did you get it?" Lu Li was confused .
"Hehe, it was a very complex quest…" It was hard to tell what Laugh Into the Heavens was thinking, but he described the entire process of the quest in detail . He wasn’t the least concerned that Lu Li would ditch the transaction and do the quest himself .
"So it really is a quest…" Lu Li took some time to slow down his racing heart beat and asked, "how much?"
"I don’t want money!" Laugh Into the Heavens waved his hands .
"Brother, if you don’t want money, then what do you want?" Lu Li asked calmly as he relaxed himself into the chair .
"Talking about money damages our relationships," Laugh into the Heavens slapped his thigh and sighed . "I was going to give this to you for free as a gift for our meeting . I don’t think it’s good enough as a meeting gift though . "
"Cut to the point…" Lu Li found it hard to put up with aimless talk .
"Hehe, I have a small request for you if that’s possible . It’s about a quest…" Laugh Into the Heavens explained the trigger of the quest, the process and what he needed Lu Li to do for him .
"Sounds like a strange quest, but is it worth this rare material that you can only get from a level 35 dungeon?" Lu Li didn’t quite understand .
"Oh, so this is a rare material from a level 35 dungeon . I’d expect nothing less from a master gamer . If you feel like this material is worth something more, then can I ask for another request?" Laugh Into the Heavens didn’t hold back at all .
Lu Li wanted to slap himself in the face for talking too much .
"I’ll just tell you, but if you feel like it’s inappropriate, you can refuse . It definitely won’t affect our current agreement," Laugh Into the Heavens quickly added after seeing that Lu Li’s expression had changed .
"Yes?" Lu Li could only have a listen to what he wanted to say .
The Ancient Magical Eye was too important to him . Even though the quest that Laugh Into the Heavens had shared with him was quite difficult, it wasn’t impossible for him .
"It’s so hard to make friends with a master gamer," Laugh into the Heavens smiled bitterly and sighed . "It’s my first time adding a master gamer as a friend . "
Lu Li pulled the corner of his lips slightly, unsure where this player was trying to get at .
"Hmph, my request is very simple . I only ask that you don’t delete me off the friend list . If there’s any chance in the future for any sort of business, place me on a higher priority . Perhaps no one can beat you in terms of battle, but when it comes to business, I can guarantee that I can do everything that Shen Wansan can do . In fact, I can even do the things that he cannot do…"
"I thought you were friends . " Lu Li was speechless; this was a strange request .
However, he also had to admit that he had underestimated this businessman . He wasn’t any worse than Shen Wansan .
"Of course we’re friends, but unfortunately, Shen Wansan doesn’t share any resources with me, so we’re also competitors," Laugh into the Heavens said calmly .
"Sure, I’ll agree to this too . " Lu Li nodded his head and agreed to this term which barely had any restrictions for him .
It had been a long time since Lu Li had come into contact with Shen Wansan . It was now Square Root 3 who was in charge of contacting him . Shen Wansan could already make enough money from the guild .
As for the player in front of him, he didn’t mind working with him in the future if the chance arose .
If he really could achieve the things that Shen Wansan could not, then this was a player who was an expert at his job .
"This is the Ancient Magical Eye that you wanted . " Laugh into the Heavens was very generous; he was about to trade in the rare material .
"Not yet . We’ll do your quest first," Lu Li refused, turning down his kind offer . They didn’t know each other well yet, so there wasn’t a need for them to be too close for now .
