The Great Thief

”No matter what the equipment is, I hope everyone can calm down a little.” Lu Li was also becoming a little excited. He couldn’t help but have a selfish mentality, hoping that it was a Thief equip.

The others weren’t saints either – they were likely thinking of the same thing. It was just human nature; morality had nothing to do with it.

Although it was hard to contain his excitement, he didn’t want his teammates to turn on each other. There weren’t many overlaps with the professions, and even two warriors like Azure Sea Breeze and Moonlight had taken completely different paths.

”Relax, it’s just a game. If it’s a defensive equip, then give it to World’s Best Friend. His equipment is so bad,” Azure Sea Breeze unhesitatingly declared.

He was quite a generous guy, which was why Lu Li had thought about him when he first formed a team.

He was one who would never betray their teammates for the sake of profit, even for things that were worth more than an Epic equip. With that, everyone slowly recovered from the initial excitement and looked a lot calmer.

Widowmaker (Epic): Damage 54-72, Agility +40, Strength +20, Constitution +10, Critical Strike +15%. Two slots. Special Effect 1: Disarm. 50% chance to steal an enemy weapon so it cannot be used to attack for 3 seconds. Special Effect 2: Bleed. There is a certain chance to cause a target to bleed for 50% of the damage taken for 6 seconds. Special Effect 3: Escape. Blink to a designation location within 15 yards in line of sight. 3 minute cooldown. Equipment Requirement: level 45. Durability 150/150.

It was a dagger!

Moreover, it was a dagger that specialized in physical attack. Scarlet New Moon, Cain’s Left Hand and Lu Li all started to become anxious.

This dagger couldn’t be considered as overpowered, but it was definitely worthy of its Epic classification.

The first thing was its high damage – of the two daggers that Lu Li had, one was 24-36 while the other was 42-56. The Widowmaker’s damage would double his current damage, which was at 54-72. Even the Gold level 35 two-handed Archeus only had 40-62 damage. Generally, two-handed weapons would at least have more damage than a dagger. After all, a Thief could equip two daggers.

However, there were also the bonus attributes. The Epic equipment gave quite a lot of the full range of attributes, including Agility, Strength and Constitution.

The total value of this dagger was already more than the combination of his two current ones.

Any equip that had Critical Strike +15% would already be considered exquisite, regardless of the other properties. This was also the first time that Lu Li had seen an equip with two slots.

It even had three special effects on top of all that. This dagger really was something else.

Lu Li thought that Disarm was the most powerful of the three effects. Although the target still kept the bonus attributes given by their weapon, they couldn’t use it to attack or cast skills. They were basically fighting bare-handed. After disarming a target, they could basically be considered as harmless.

To be unable to attack for three seconds was the same as being stunned.

As for the Bleed, although the damage was only 50%, the effect would last for 6 seconds which was a total of 300% damage!

Additionally, the target wouldn’t be able to use skills that were interrupted by damage.

This was an obvious advantage in a Thief mirror-match and the reason why Thieves were afraid of Warriors. They could prevent them from going into Stealth with a bleed that couldn’t be removed by Shadow Cloak.

With this special effect, Lu Li would likely take more Thief matchups in the future.

The last effect was an escape ability that any player would be jealous of. There were countless times when a player wished they could escape, especially when being chased.

Lu Li previously had a shoe with a similar effect.

Tempest Leather Boots (Silver): 25 Armor, All Stats+10, Movement Speed+5%, Special Effect: Escape, after activating, you instantly appear at a location within 15 feet. Cooldown Time: 180 seconds, Equipment Requirement: LV25. Durability: 50/50.

This item was now in the Guild Warehouse but was always being borrowed.

The Tempest Leather Boot’s Special Effect sent the player to a random location. However, the designated location being within line of sight was a much stronger effect.

Whether it was to escape or to chase, Lu Li could use this to take further control of a battle.

”Let’s talk about how we can allocate this equipment,” Lu Li said as he sighed internally. In the end, he still couldn’t get over the obstacles placed by himself. In fact, most of the major guilds’ commanders had the right to designate one item as theirs.

But where would be the closeness that they had developed as a group?

Lu Li couldn’t do it. Everyone had worked so hard, and if he were to take this item with a command, that would be totally irresponsible.

”I’m willing to let it go, but I have a request. Give me the dagger that you’re replacing it with,” Scarlet New Moon suggested.

His equipment was slightly worse, and he usually played the role of a scout. His damage output wasn’t particularly high because he was actually a high-level treasure hunter.

”I’m willing to let it go as well. Boss Lu Li, you should take it and go compete with it,” Cain’s Left Hand offered with a shrug. ”I don’t have any requests for the time being; I just hope that Boss Lu Li will pick me for things like this more often. Also, this item is level 45 and we are only level 39. The gap is just too big.”

Lu L was currently level 42, followed closely by Lonesome Flower at level 41. The others were level 40. It was quite an achievement to be at level 39, but there was a long way to go before they could use the dagger.

Lu Li hesitated before turning to Wandering and saying, ”Split up my points and give the two of them 100 each. Also, give everyone else 30 points each.”

By doing this, he had given up 800 points. Lu Li initially had 1100 points.

Ruling Sword’s points weren’t so easily given out. Even a secret area activity like this only yielded anpit 10 points. They usually needed trade-in their equipment or a potion material…

A normal guild member who had gathered 100 points could consider themselves as a very important member.

The reason why Lu Li had so many points was firstly because he was a professional player, and secondly because he was always the commander for Instance Dungeon First Clears. He had taken quite a few large payments because of that.

But now, he had suddenly given out 800 points. Even if you deducted the value of the Epic equipment, it still wasn’t that much less in value.

In particular, the two Thieves had suddenly received a 100 points could likely save this and their original points up to purchase a Dark Gold equipment some time in the future.
