The Great Thief

“Aiya. Hello, Water Fairy. I haven’t seen you since the last fight.”

Elevenless’ eyes lit up when he saw Water Fairy. All men would probably like such a beauty, and Elevenless happened to be someone who had zero immunity to beautiful women.

Water Fairy looked over and waved.

Elevenless was very passionate, but he wasn’t someone who was rude or too clingy. As such, all the female competitors had a good impression of him.

“Water Fairy! Didn’t know you were coming too,” Elevenless laughed.

“Am I so invisible that you can’t even see me anymore?” Unforgettable Maple couldn’t help but feel a little disgruntled.

“Aiya, Maple girl, you’re here too,” Elevenless said as he scratched his hair and smiled.

“I received a quest. Can’t help it…” Unforgettable Maple sighed and quickly changed his expression. “My ***, Elevenless, what did you call me? Do you want to die?”

“Water Fairy, I heard your guild has been going around head hunting. You guys are developing really fast.” Elevenless had already moved his attention back onto Water Fairy. Although Unforgettable Maple was affectionately known as ‘Maple Girl’, he was still a man. It wasn’t interesting for Elevenless to talk to him at all.

“Right. We’re going to fall behind if we still don’t develop,” Water Fairy said.

Lu Li watched the three of them approach from afar. Seeing that Elevenless was standing so close to Water Fairy, he suddenly felt uncomfortable. He was uncertain if it would be bad to kill Elevenless right now.

“You’re… on the quest too?” Water Fairy hadn’t been paying much attention, but was the first to see Lu Li.

Lu Li couldn’t wear his mask now, and his equipment was also unique so everyone could recognize him easily.

“Lu…Lu Li…” Elevenless was surprised.

He was truly scared of Lu Li; this was a known truth. Every time Elevenless ran into Lu Li, he was bound to die. Even when he was wearing a level 50 Gold set, he still suffered from the same fate.

There had never been someone who countered him so much; Elevenless was subconsciously going to run away.

“Hehe, Elevenless, how’s it going? It seems like you haven’t changed equipment lately,” Lu Li said as he rubbed his fingers along Shard of the Defiler and stared at Elevenless’ neck. Elevenless felt a cold shudder shoot down his spine.

When Elevenless had previously fought Lu Li, Lu Li could barely damage him. Lu Li had to use his mobility skills to tire him out. However, it was a different story now – Elevenless was still wearing the same thing, but Lu Li had already leveled to 53 and had upgraded his gear.

“I…I’m not afraid of you…”

Elevenless was about to cry; was it too late to drop the quest now?

“Elevenless, you’re an embarrassment to competitors,” Unforgettable Maple said. He had been in the industry for ten years and it was the first time he had seen a competitor be so afraid of another. Not to mention, this was a Warrior who was afraid of a Thief.

“Just us four?” Water Fairy asked as she stood beside Lu Li and gave Remulos a curious glance.

“No, there’s six more. They’re on the way,” Lu Li answered, then paused and continued, “They’re all my usual team members, so you can rest assured.”

This time, there were seven Ruling Sword players out of the ten, so he was worried that that the others will have objections. He didn’t really mind the others, but he cared about how Water Fairy felt. They were in an alliance after all.

Soon, the players from Ruling Sword arrived.

The two Warriors were Azure Sea Breeze and Elevenless, while the two Mages were Unforgettable Maple and Lonesome Flower. Lu Li and Water Fairy represented the Thieves, while there was one Warlock, Kitty Likes Meat, a Priest, March Rain, along with Remnant Dream and Hachi Chan.

This meant that 50% of the team were girls.

“Hehe, hi guys. I’m Unforgettable Maple.”

Unforgettable Maple wasn’t interested in Water Fairy, but his eyes immediately lit up when he saw Remnant Dream and Hachi Chan who had approached. Everyone couldn’t help but glare at this pedophile; Lu Li even went ahead and stood himself between the girls and Maple.

He viewed these two girls as sisters; he couldn’t have pedophiles taking interest in them.

“Hehe, don’t misunderstand me,” Unforgettable Maple’s said as his face blushed. This was a great misunderstanding; he had been famous for a while, but he has never been seen as a pervert before.

“Then you should stay away from them. They’re still underaged.”

Lu Li quickly understood what was going on, but he didn’t plan on helping him at all. Lu Li realized that Unforgettable Maple wanted to steal their guild’s luck charm. One of them was a master at quests and the other had a pair of lucky hands. Over the long run, their value was even greater than March Rain, who was a skilled competitor. Unforgettable Maple probably forgot that Lu Li was still here.

“I sure am aging. It took me a while just to draw such a simple magic circle, and it’s imperfect too.”

Remulos had finally finished the magic inscriptions that he was working with. He lifted his hand to wipe the sweat off his head and walked over slowly.

All of the newcomers quickly greeted this powerful existence.

Most of them were meeting Remulos for the first time, but Lu Li had already described his strength to everyone else, so they were truly respectful towards the NPC.

Remulos smiled in return; he wasn’t pressuring at all for someone of his status.

However, when it was Hachi Chan’s turn, Remulos immediately turned his head in anger. It seemed like he had a grudge against her.

The others gazed on in surprise.

Hachi Chan was famous in the game, as famous as Remnant Dream. She was known as the daughter of the System, and there was a long footage reel of NPCs taking revenge for her against players who crossed her. Almost everyone knew that she was close with the NPCs.

It was as if the sun had risen from the wrong side of the earth.
