The Great Thief

If this was a normal couple, even with healing, it was likely that they would be unable to defeat the event Boss.

“Is it going to drop some good items?” Water Fairy asked.

“If we’re unlucky, then it’ll probably only drop Love Red Wires. If we’re lucky though, then equipment or mounts could drop.”

If Lu Li recalled correctly, then the mount that the Cupid dropped was a Pegasus, Venus’ drop should be a Unicorn, Matchmaker’s drop should be a Big Bridal Chair and the Cowherd and the Maid would drop a Golden Bull.

The best looking mounts were the Pegasus and Unicorn. The one with the most meaning would be the Big Bridal Chair. Naturally, the ugliest one was the Golden Bull.

However, some players chose the Golden Bull as they were against riding horses.

“Who’s looting?” Water Fairy asked.

Lu Li looked at her, absolutely speechless. Why was her face full of innocence and seriousness, yet her eyes were full of mischief?

“Of course it’s you. I don’t like to loot,” Lu Li said, with a darkened expression.

After killing the Boss, Water Fairy went up to loot the corpse.

There were 11 Love Red Wires. This yield was equivalent to multiple Lovebirds, but this wasn’t enough. If Love Red Wires were all that dropped from the Boss, then there would be at least 16 of them. This meant that…

The Cupid not only dropped Love Red Wires, but more items!

After realising this, Water Fairy was also excited.

She immediately continued to loot and pulled something else out.

“Cupid’s Love Pegasus!”

“Wow! A mount! Snowy’s pretty good!” Lu Li immediately praised her. It was already rare enough to see a Boss in this low-levelled Instance Dungeon, let alone a mount. Even if Lu Li was confident in his luck, he couldn’t guarantee that the mount would drop.

“Do you want it?” Water Fairy squinted her eyes as she asked him.

“No. I can fly by myself, so it’s going to you, of course,” Lu Li answered. Water Fairy proceeded to happily put away the mount into her own storage.

The Pegasus was a pure-white stallion. Besides its sapphire-coloured eyes, it was white everywhere else, including its wings. This complemented Water Fairy’s charm and aesthetic well.

Cupid’s Love Pegasus (Unique). Level Requirement: 70. Riding Requirement: 300. Summons or Recalls a Pegasus. This is a fast mount. Ground speed: 100%. Flying speed: 280%. Able to carry two players.

This was the standard of a level 70 mount. It could be ridden on the ground and in the air, and was a truly versatile mount.

Furthermore, its flying speed was 280. At this level, only the Phoenix was faster at 310%. It was as fast as Lu Li’s crow.

There was also the ability to carry two players; Valentine’s Day mounts were all dual-seated.

“Do you like it?” Lu Li asked softly.

“Uh huh!” Water Fairy nodded her head furiously.

“Treat it as a Valentines Day gift then!” Lu Li generously said.

“You’re so thick-skinned. It was me who looted it, okay?” Water Fairy couldn’t hold in her laugh. After getting to know Lu Li, she found that he had a playful side to him as well.

“Haha. What is yours is also mine. What is mine is also yours,” Lu Li chuckled.

Water Fairy rolled her eyes at him and decided to leave it at that.

During the event, they could only fight a single Lovebird in each Instance Dungeon, so Lu Li and

Water Fairy had to move on to higher-levelled Dungeons.

Otherwise, grinding Stratholme would be ideal. At the very least, the Bosses here were easy to kill. As for higher-levelled Instance Dungeons like the Black Dragon Princess or Molten Core, clearing them with ten members would be a challenge, let alone just the two of them.

After clearing Stratholme, they decided to go to Blackrock Spires.

This time, Lu Li and Water Fairy couldn’t completely clear out everything like they did before, as this would take too much time

Fortunately, both of them were Thieves. After entering Stealth, they were able to avoid the monsters and quickly traversed the grounds.

Although they were looking for Lovebirds, they were talking to each other the whole time.

There were more Lovebirds allocated in Blackrock Spires compared to the lower-levelled Instance Dungeons. The Lovebirds’ levels were also higher, which meant that more Love Red Wires would drop. There was also a chance of dropping rare materials, but it wasn’t high.

After defeating two levels of the Blackrock Spires, they didn’t encounter any event Bosses. However, it was coincidentally the time for Couple Horseracing, so Lu Li decided to go.

This was one of the activities in the Valentines Day event.

From its name, it was obvious that they needed to have a two-person mount. The grand prize was two class-specific Epic items and two Skill Points. The runner-up prize was two class-specific Dark Gold items and two Skill Points. As for third place, the prize was just two Skill Points, while consolation prizes were two Dark Gold items. Every participating player would receive two Gold items as a reward.

This was the first Valentine’s Day event in Dawn and not many people had a two-person mount. As a result of this, the chances of winning the grand prize were generally quite favorable.

These rewards were also very generous. There were Skill Points, which were more valuable than any Epic item. However, Epic items were also in high demand. Since these were System-based rewards, they would be quite decent as well.

Previously, Lu Li had participated and won first place in a marathon in game. He received an Epic item called Champion’s Boots.

Champion’s Boots (Epic): Armor: 80. Agility +100. Constitution +50. Movement speed +25%. Slots (2). Special Effect 1: Kick +1. Chance to silence Magic-based targets. Special Effect 2: Shadowstep. Enter the shadows and appear behind the target. In the next 10 seconds, the next Ambush or Garrote deals an extra 30% damage and also increases movement speed by 80%. Duration: 5 seconds. Cooldown: 2 minutes. Unique Effect 3: Lunge. Active skill. Instantly moves forward 15 metres and deals 200% damage to all targets in a straight line. When this skill is active, the caster is invulnerable. Cooldown: 3 minutes. Level requirement: 60. Durability: 375/375.

If it weren’t for the level penalties, this item would still be considered an exquisite item. These three unique effects alone completely outclassed most level 70 items.

The grand prize for the Couple Horseracing was two Epic items, so Lu Li definitely did not want to miss out.

In his previous life, Lu Li had also experienced a Valentine’s Day event. However, he was single then, and didn’t have a couple mount. He could only watch as others hugged their significant others tightly and reaped the rewards.

Water Fairy was also excited. Although she was wealthy, Epic items weren’t easily bought. Furthermore, Skill Points could not be bought with money either.
