The Great Thief - Chapter 978

Chapter 978: 978



Lu Li was known as the best teacher in the gaming industry, but that didn't mean that Ms . Su would be the best student .
She was wild and playful, and also didn't have much talent for the game . She probably couldn't even remember 10% of what Lu Li had taught her, but he never expected much from her anyway .
To be fair, Ms . Su was the one who was really playing the game .
She would stop somewhere because the scene was too beautiful, and become distracted by a pretty flower when she fought monsters . If the monsters were too cute, she would even refuse to battle them .
Fortunately, her charm level seemed to be as high as Hachi Chan's and so was her luck .
This was a normal thing – she wasn't an average player, but the spokesperson for the game . The gaming company was already being fair by not instantly making her level 50 and giving her a god-tier set to wear .
Her Charm level not only determined how well she could get along with NPCs, but also allowed her to possibly gain more experience from quests .
This was also why Hachi Chan could spend less time leveling, but still be more highly-leveled than the majority of players . She was currently ranked tenth, in comparison to the other players who did nothing but train all day .
"Can I not have this shield? You asked me to kill 12 Kobold Miners, but I killed 15 for you," Ms . Su said seriously .
She didn't play this like a game at all; she was seriously bargaining with the NPC .


Marshal McBride, who handed out the quest, held his breath at what he had just heard . His intelligence level wasn't set to be too high, so this bargain wasn't something that he could process quickly . Perhaps it was Ms . Su's Charm that took effect, but he exchanged another shield for her, one that was petite and with better Attributes .
After a few times, Lu Li grew numb to this . He wasn't playing the same game as these players with high Charm levels .
He walked ahead and didn't fight monsters either – all he did was to protect Ms . Su from dying to the Defias Brotherhood . This was a clearing type of quest, one that was more dangerous amongst all the quests handed out from the beginner village . The monsters here were known to have a wide aggression range and refreshed quickly .
"What's your relationship with Water Fairy?" Ms . Su asked curiously . This was also the reason why she had chosen Lu Li to train her .
"Nothing . Our guild works with her's sometimes," Lu Li explained calmly .
"Do you think I'd believe that?" Ms . Su said as she batted her eyes .
"If you want to play a Paladin, I'd suggest you to take the healing path . They're easier to learn in terms of technique . You'd probably do well, and you don't have to worry about fighting monsters . You just need to learn a few damaging skills and have a set for damage . It'll still be efficient . "
"Has anyone told you that you're really bad at changing topics?" Ms . Su sighed .
"I'm just trying to tell you that I don't want to talk about it . This was something that never existed in the first place, so what did you want me to admit to? Ms . Su, if you don't want a trainer anymore, I'm going first . "



Lu Li pulled the corners of his lips; he felt extra tired today being someone else's nanny .

"Wait, I've called a friend . They're coming soon," Ms . Su said with a crafty smile on her face .
"I'm already here, Su Mei . Why aren't you doing your celebrity job, but here to play games instead?" a cold voice rang out behind Ms . Su . It caught her by surprise and she screamed as her face paled .
She had just started the game and it seemed like she wasn't familiar with Thieves who always appeared from nowhere .
"What are you screaming about?"
Water Fairy came out from the shadows and looked helplessly at Su Mei who was about to cry from being so frightened .
Although half of her face was covered and only her eyes were showing, Water Fairy was nothing less compared to Su Mei in terms of beauty . However, her popularity in the game was nothing compared to Su Mei, who was a real famous celebrity .
"You . . . You frightened me," Su Mei cried as he pointed at Water Fairy, so furious that she was almost speechless .
"I'm sorry I frightened you," Water Fairy apologized without much sincerity . "You still haven't told me why you're playing games, or has everyone finally figured that you're just a fake *****, and they've all stopped liking you?"
"You're a fake ***** . Hmph, pretending all day and covering up your face as if you look good," Su Mei replied coldly .
"Just a bit prettier than you," Water Fairy shot back .
Lu Li stood on the side, a little stunned . He thought that these two were best friends and didn't expect them to be so sarcastic to each other .
"Don't forget I was the top beauty of the university . You were just the top beauty of the course," Su Mei said proudly .
"I can't be bothered to talk about this with you . Why did you ask me to come here?" Water Fairy sighed . She really didn't want to fight with someone else in front of Lu Li . It seemed like it would ruin her image, but Su Mei and her had been enemies from the day they entered university . This wasn't something that would be solved within a short period time .
"Help me level up! With two gaming masters helping me, I'd look so cool," Su Mei recovered quickly .
"For someone like you, even if a hundred people trained you, you wouldn't become a master . "
Water Fairy was still being sarcastic out of habit, but at least she didn't turn around and walk away . Supposedly, she was more than just enemies with Su Mei .
"I know," Su Mei said as she turned her gaze . "Ai, let me ask, what's with you two? Why do all the people on the forums call you a damn couple?"
"What does that have to do with you?" Water Fairy retorted . "Don't ask someone to help you level up just because you're bored . Don't you know how precious time is for people like us? If you want someone to train you, just spend some money to find a trainer . "
"But I want him!" Su Mei ran over in an attempt to hold Lu Li's arms, but he dodged her just in time .
"If the two of you know each other, then I'm going first," Lu Li said as he looked deeply at Water Fairy, not wanting to be a part of this drama . He finally understood the situation – it seemed like although these two girls knew each other, they most likely didn't get along .
"Ai, don't go! You promised me," Su Mei panicked .
She had fun in teasing the two . From what she knew about her old classmate, Lu Li definitely had to be someone different for Water Fairy .
"Goodbye . "
Lu Li had already gone into Stealth and disappeared; he had no interest in staying to be a joke . Before he left, he also added, "I'll try and level up my Engineering after two days . I'll mail you the Arcanite Rifle after it's done . "
"Eh . . . he really left . Is he really a man!" Su Mei was extremely angry .
"I'll train you, but don't expect me to be your nanny . "
Water Fairy wasn't surprised at all by what had just happened . This was how Lu Li was; he did things his own way and was never impacted by someone's looks .
"Why would you like this kind of person? Don't tell me you really like him," Su Mei teased, keen for some gossip .
"Trust me, I'll kill you," Water Fairy coldly said as she squinted her eyes .
"So you like him, or else you would've denied it! My God, I thought you'd never like a man in your entire life!" Su Mei squealed and shouted .
