The Great Thief - Chapter 847

Chapter 847: 847
Lu Xin was a little scared, but she wasn't completely afraid because she knew that her brother wouldn't let her get hurt .


Even though he needed to find the right fish, Lu Li couldn't completely relax because he needed to keep an eye on Lu Xin .
"I think you're crossing a line . "
There once was a time when a child bullied Lu Xin, so Lu Li went to school to teach him a lesson .
Lu Li needed to work to support them, so he couldn't just spend his time watching out for her at school . As such, he decided to deal with the problem permanently, and broke both the legs of that kid . By doing this, he dealt with anyone else that thought they could cross them .
Lu Li really appreciated a line in an old move, "You must protect your family at all costs, even if it means killing again . If I had to do this, I would destroy the world in exchange for my family . "
"Who are you? Don't you see I'm busy?" the tall gentleman asked as his expression changed . I
"I am her brother . Xin Xin, you turn around and catch your fish," Lu Li said slowly .
"Big bro, I'm not scared," Lu Xin boldly declared as she stared at him . She had been born in a poor world and had seen it all . She liked watching her brother beat people up; it gave her a sense of security .
Sap!


As the taller gentleman was frozen, he watched as his partner was hit by a Cheap Shot . Even though Lu Li didn't use an Ultimate Skill, he still killed him in one hit .
After this event, both of them would think back and wonder how they managed to make someone so angry . If this had happened in real life, they probably would have been killed as well .
The taller gentleman didn't escape death either and was quickly dealt with .
For taking advantage of Lu Xin, Lu Li was forced to draw arms and take extreme measures . Even the spectators around them didn't dare to voice any objections .
Most of them were Trade Skill players or ordinary players .
When considering Dawn's huge player base, the number of elite and star players was negligible . When they saw Lu Li kill the two men in three attacks, they felt a cold shiver down their spines and forgot for a moment that this was just a game .
When Water Fairy came over, she saw the two bodies that hadn't disappeared yet .
"What happened?"
"There were two people who seemed like they had nothing better to do . I'll help you find more fishing spots, and I'll stay with Lu Xin," Lu Li explained as he threw a hook into the water that Lu Xin was standing in front of .


"It's okay if we fish together . It doesn't really matter if we don't get anything out of a Trade Skill event like this," Water Fairy said, obviously understanding what had happened .

"Alright then," Lu Li agreed .
He was starting to consider the possibility of hiring a few bodyguards, like many of the major guild leaders did .
Of course, this couldn't be done in an ordinary game, as everyone was just messing around .
But why would a guild member waste their time greeting a nobody? As such, with the rise of virtual games, what was impossible had become commonplace .
If a guild leader was assassinated, it wasn't just a matter of losing equipment or EXP – it was a slap to the guild's face . Assassinating a guild leader was like slapping the board of directors of a top-500 company in the face .
Normally, the most common profession chosen as a bodyguard was a Thief or Assassin .
They would hide in the shadows and follow their employers to protect them if necessary . Most of the time, they would be divided into several teams and would rotate between being a bodyguard and playing casually .
It was said that Sorrowless had more than 100 bodyguards, and it cost a fortune to pay them .
However, given their infamy, this amount of money spent was worth it .
As a new guild leader, Lu Li hadn't set up anything like this so far . Lu Li did not want bodyguards for himself, but to protect his sister .
To him, his younger sister was more important than the guild's image .
Fishing as a group of three was actually quite enjoyable and they happily chatted away .
Two hours quickly passed and the small goblin's voice sounded throughout Stranglethorn Value – the first fishing competition was over .
Players flocked to the NPC that had appeared in Stranglethorn Vale, and after they registered their items they would be entered into the rankings . The reason they were rushing was because a tie was decided by whoever registered first .
Fortunately, there were plenty of NPCs that spawned, so there wasn't a stampede .
Lu Li counted his own fish – he had caught a total of 46 Scrumptious Fish, but that probably wasn't enough for a high ranking .
Over the duration of the competition, he had also acquired some thorny algae, which was an Alchemy material, along with some fur, cloth, ore and other types of fish .
These types of fish didn't have any effects and couldn't be cooked, but they could be sold in stores for money . Some could sell for up to hundreds of gold coins .
Of course, the few that Lu Li had were ordinary and weren't worth much .
He hadn't managed to find any Saddles for mounts; it seemed like the drop rate was too low . However, he had found two Fishing equips . Neither were better than what he already had so he gave them to Lu Xin .
Water Fairy was in a similar situation, but she had Mr . Claws .
Lu Xin's luck was a little better – she had acquired a box that had a 'White Beach Ball' . It came with a note: Prepare to play on the sunny beach .
Lu Li knew that this could be played with like a real beach ball .
Soon after, all the players had registered and the results of the fishing competition were announced . The outcome was exactly as Lu Li had remembered – the winner was an old man .
He had won the championship with 245 Scrumptious Fish . Lu Li couldn't even imagine how he had achieved this .
There were only 120 minutes in 2 hours, so he had to catch at least two fish every minute . Surely that was impossible, but part of Dawn's slogan was that 'miracles could happen anywhere', and this old man received the System's recognition .
The second-place player was very surprising, or at least Lu Li was shocked .
It was Remnant Dream!
