The Great Thief - Chapter 849

Chapter 849
The little turtle was cute, had big eyes, and could be mounted . It appeared quite awkward and slow, but when moving in water, it was faster than any other mount .


If you wanted to upgrade it so that it could move faster on land, that was possible too .
You just needed dangle a carrot it in front of its head while sitting on it . The little turtle would then desperately run forwards, trying to eat the carrot .
But of course, it was still a turtle at the end of the day . This meant that speed would always be its greatest disadvantage .
Remnant Dream didn't need a mount, so she would probably just treat it was a pet .
After the awards were handed out, Lu Li set up a stall at Booty Bay, attempting to buy the Scrumptious Fish at a high price .
The Scrumptious Fish couldn't be traded during the event, but became tradable after it ended . However, they had a time limit of seven days, after which they would vanish .
The Scrumptious Fish couldn't be used for anything – they couldn't be cooked or used in Alchemy .
NPCs also didn't accept them both during and after the event, no matter how low of a price was offered .
As such, it was rational to get rid of them as quickly as possible . Even if they weren't worth much money, it was still something . However, Lu Li wanted to buy them at a high price . Before long, there were hundreds of players around him clamoring to sell their fish .
This so called 'high price' was actually just one Silver coin, but it was indeed quite expensive compared to the Common Squid that usually cost 50 Copper .
The Ruling Sword Trade Skill players were tasked with buying up all the fish; Lu Li didn't bother to stay there himself .


It was obvious that anyone who would buy the fish at this price was going to be considered stupid . If Lu Li was present, they would certainly think that there was something wrong with him .
For a player like Lu Li to do something like this, it would be analyzed to no end .
Lu Li took Water Fairy and his sister to a secluded place, and asked Water Fairy to take out Mr . Claws .
After the event, Mr . Claws became an item as well .
Mr . Claws – Use: Talk to Mr . Claws and you might be able to make a wish! You might be granted good luck… or bad luck… Even Mr . Claws doesn't know!
The number of Uses were 3/3, and they had a 2-minute cooldown .
In other words, it was an item that could be activated . As for what happened, Lu Li had no intention of explaining it .
"Can I do it?" Lu Xin was eager to try .
"No," Lu Li resolutely refused . The poor girl couldn't persuade her brother and had no choice but to move back to a safe distance .
Water Fairy used the item, and after the cloud of smoke dissipated, a giant lobster appeared .
"What's this?" Water Fairy was puzzled .


"Careful, it's a monster," Lu Li warned after quickly determining that it was an enemy . He rushed forwards and cast Gouge at the lobster .

This reliable skill somehow failed, probably because the lobster's claws were too long . It then countered with its own attack and sent him flying .
The fact that it had sent Lu Li flying did not bode well .
Fortunately, the frightened Water Fairy reacted and began to fight off the lobster whose attacks were still cooling down . Even Lu Xin took out her bow and arrows and began to fire at it .
This big lobster was probably the highest-level creature around; it was three levels higher than the next player at level 48 .
Even if Water Fairy was on her own, it would be a little dangerous, but she still had a chance of beating this elite monster . With Lu Li there, it wasn't even a suspenseful encounter .
After the battle, Water Fairy didn't receive any loot .
On the second use, there was the same flash of smoke which gave Water Fairy a scare as she took a few steps back .
This time, there wasn't a large lobster, but a small box . After opening it, she found four bottles of potent HP potions and five bottles of potent MP potions . Both of these restored more than the potions that were currently available .
As for why there weren't five HP potions like there were MP potions, this remained an unsolved mystery .
"Ah, these are good items – they regenerate 2000HP . Xin Xin, do you want them? I'll give you two to protect yourself," Water Fairy offered .
Lu Xin shook her head . She was only level 10, and had no use for such an item .
"How about we split it between us," Water Fairy suggested to Lu Li .
"You caught this item yourself . Why would you split it with me?" Lu Li refused, but took one HP potion and two MP potions in case of an emergency .
If he didn't take any, the female tycoon wouldn't be happy .
Now, they were down to their last try . Everyone understood what was going to happen, but unfortunately the outcome was completely random . Anything that it produced just came down to luck .
There was the same cloud of smoke on the third activation .
After it disappeared, there was a small crayfish on the ground . Water Fairy was disappointed as she picked it up and prepared to kill this 'monster' .
"Hey show it some mercy," Lu Li said in surprise .
"Why?" Water Fairy asked .
"Don't you see how cute it is?" Lu Li responded .
"Oh, what do you know about being cute?" Water Fairy mocked him . Of course, anyone could tell what was and wasn't cute, but calling this crawfish cute was too much .
It didn't have the dark red shell of the previous lobster . Instead, it was pink and very small .
It even spat bubbles from its mouth that floated through the air and popped . This made it even more appealing, and Water Fairy held back .
"You don't seem convinced . Does this seem like a monster to you?" Lu Li asked .
"Sure, it doesn't seem like one . It didn't attack us…unless…" Water Fairy nodded and suddenly realized why it looked the way it did .
"That's right – it's a pet . "
Lu Li was glad that Remnant Dream wasn't here . Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to sleep or eat, knowing that there was a lobster pet and that she didn't have one .
"It's pretty cute, eh Xin Xin? Come catch it and you can have it," Water Fairy said .
"Oh, Water Sister, don't you want it?" Lu Xin asked in astonishment .
"Me? I've never kept any pets; they don't really mean much to me…" Water Fairy mumbled as she shook her head .
How could a woman not like keeping pets?
"It's just a game, so it doesn't really matter," she added as the Lu siblings listened in admiration .
