The Great Thief

“What do you want?!” Water Fairy was done with it. She could tell that Lu Li wasn’t bullying the smaller monsters for no reason. He had already killed six of them; Was there any need to continue?

“Huh…” Lu Li felt a bit embarrassed. He didn’t know how to explain it. Was his face really that upset?

He knew the chances were low, but he didn’t expect them to be that low. He had already killed six smaller monsters, and they were killed only after removing several pieces of equipment. The number of strikes he had dealt were already quite high. In theory, this should have already triggered the special effects of these two equips.

That’s right – he was trying to trigger the special effect of these particular Fist Weapons.

Thekal’s Grasp was from the High Priest Thekal and was considered as the Main Weapon. Arlokk’s Grasp was from the High Priestess Arlokk and was considered as an Off-Hand Weapon. If you considered these two equips, you wouldn’t notice anything special about them. However, if they were used together, they would form the Transmog Set.

The Transmog Set Special Effects were described as: “Gives caster a smaller chance of receiving blessings from the ancient gods. Increases range and melee attack by 30% for 30 seconds when dealing damage to enemies.”

These were two special effects that made this Transmog Set even more powerful.

Hence, there were many people who collected these weapons just for the special effect, and they would often come up with excuses to compare them. In reality, those who obtain this Transmog Set equipment never looked at their attributes. No matter how superb the quality was, they were all the same.

“Let me have a try,” Water Fairy said.

“No need to take off your clothes. There’s too many people here.”

Lu Li listened to her and took off his fist weapons and gave them to Water Fairy. He then stood on the side and watched her fight monsters.

“Not everyone’s like you… taking off your clothes whenever.”

Water Fairy rolled her eyes at him. She had only taken off some of her accessories, unlike Lu Li who had even taken off his pants.

“Oi! Are you guys done? Enhanced Skill Book, a Thief one – which one of you two wants it?””Since they’re so busy being all over each other, how about we just sell this Enhanced Skill Books and split the money amongst us all?” Azure Sea Breeze angrily yelled.

“Yeah! Yeah!”

Everyone approved of this decision, even the players of Peerless City and Drizzle Court.

Suddenly, the System announced, “Dear Players, Lu Li is using his Commander authority. You will be asked to leave the team in T minus 10, 9, 8, 7…”

“Crap! Big Bro! Lu Li, you’re my big bro! I’m your long-lost younger brother! You can’t do this to me! Cancel it quickly! Quickly! I’m sorry!”

Azure Sea Breeze was suddenly on his knees. They hadn’t even split the equipment; he was hoping to receive some valuable items.

Of course, Lu Li wasn’t going to really kick him out – it was merely a joke.

“Far out,” Azure Sea Breeze sighed in relief, then was suddenly in a state of shock at the sight in front of him. Other people around him were equally shocked as they watched Water Fairy and Lu Li.

The Water Fairy in their sight had disappeared, and a large tiger, or Tiger Human, was in place of her. It looked the same as High Priest Thekal in stage two.

Scary?

Cool?

Trendy?

These were the kind of thoughts floating in everyone’s minds. People had even lost focus on the Enhanced Skill Book. It wasn’t that they had not seen transformations, but never one of this type before.

“Fist Weapon!”

“Fist Weapon!”

Moonlight and Wandering shouted in sync. The former was knowledgeable while the latter was intelligent, and both of them discovered the reason for Water Fairy’s transformation in the first minute. Both Fists had originated in the hands of Sakura Memories and Moonlight separately. Then, they were in the hands of Lu Li, and lastly in the hands of Water Fairy. Clearly, the Fists were not just two mere Epic weapons.

“Pretty awesome,” Water Fairy commented as she recovered to her original form 30 seconds later.

“How did you do it?” Azure Seas Breeze asked as he moved closer and stared at Water Fairy. The pair of Fist Weapons was making him drool.

“Did you want it? I just won’t give it to you! Ha!” Water Fairy laughed. She rarely pranked people.

“Broooo I want it…”

He felt so upset. Was he no longer the core of this team? Was he no longer the treasured one in everyone’s hearts? Azure Sea Breeze searched frantically for Lu Li for proof. He remembered that Lu Li always took care of him. He would prioritise him whenever there was anything for Main Tanks.

“If you and Water Fairy fell into the water, who do you think I would save?” Lu Li asked him.

“You’re a bastard! Neglecting your friends with your new love…”

Azure Sea Breeze finally realised how stupid his question was. In this bastard’s heart, there was probably nothing that could surpass Water Fairy. Plus, if one had to think about it in detail now, did Lu Li gain the Fist Weapons from Moonlight and Sakura Memories for himself? He had given them to Water Fairy in the end still. There was no doubt in the answer to that question.

“Water Sis, can I borrow it for a play?” Hachi Chan was also growing envious.

“Of course, but can you use Fist Weapons?” Water Fairy asked.

“Waaaaah…” Hachi Chan burst into tears and left. The known biological daughter of the System had finally fallen from grace. System Daddy probably couldn’t predict that his biological daughter would also love this pair of Fist Weapons. Otherwise, Druids would definitely be able to use them.

This game of Dawn made weapons corresponding to professions. Even though there were similarities, there were also restrictions.

Only Shamans, Thieves, Hunters could use Fist Weapons. Druids could as well technically, but could only hold one as the main weapon. They wouldn’t be able to hold the second Off-Hand Fist, but the special effects could only be triggered by using them together. Hachi Chan had no chance whatsoever to experience it.

“Can I try and play with it?”

Remnant Dream thought it was quite interesting to transform into a tiger. It would look especially trendy with her also riding on a tiger.

“Of course! You can go and play with it whenever you want to.”

Water Fairy wasn’t a stingy person. In reality, if this Fist Weapon wasn’t given to her by Lu Li, she would have given them to Remnant Dream. She really did like this lucky and very clever girl.

“Dreamy quickly go and loot equipment,” Lu Li hurried. “Also, give me the Strengthening Stone and Enhanced Skills Book.”

“Hmph, I don’t understand what Water Sis sees in you. Stupid Lu…” Remnant Dream muttered as she angrily split the Strengthening Stone with Lu Li and showed him the Enhanced Skills Book.

“I think this Enhanced Skills Book is most suited for Water Sis. Stupid Lu, don’t tell me you would fight for it from her?”

She gave it to Water Fairy as she was talking.

“Dreamy, other than those pets, do you even care about other people?

Lu Li already knew Strengthened Shadowstrike; he would have given it to Water Fairy even without her saying anything.

“Now that’s great. No points were even deducted,” Wandering sighed at his teammates’ low IQ.

Luckily, he himself had high IQ and improved the average of the team. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to get a First Clear.
