The Great Thief

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

There were still two left. Sorrowless was on the verge of turning his head and leaving.

“Hahaha, Sorrowless, I’m your admirer…”

Finally, there was no ‘hehe’ this time, but this ‘hahaha’ made Sorrowless even more angry.

He could recognize this guy even if he turned to ashes.

Azure Sea Breeze!

A defensive warrior had taken 2nd place in his Glory Cup! Was there even any point to keep hosting this competition?

Ten million dollars and two pieces of Epic equipment!

Azure Sea Breeze nearly wanted to hug Sorrowless’ leg and call him his daddy. It was a good thing he held back, otherwise, it would definitely be the top story in all the gaming news the next day.

The last one was finally not a Ruling Sword member.

Sorrowless didn’t care about the 30 million, as long as this 30 million didn’t land into the hands of Ruling Sword. Instead of giving money to Ruling Sword. He would rather build 100 shelters for pet cats across the whole country.

The champion’s ID was Blue White Ghost Wings.

He was a Berserker, but was not like other Berserkers. Blue White Ghost Wings looked delicate and pretty. If he wasn’t wearing his role’s equipment, he would look even more like a Priest. Only those who had seen him compete would know how extreme and crazy his fighting was.

His final battle was against Azure Sea Breeze.

Azure Sea Breeze was simply like a glitch – no one could match with his equipment, and he had quite a few Strengthened Skills. When normal players were fighting him, they could barely scratch him, and he still had equipment that was able to convert damage into HP.

The longer you dragged on fighting with Azure Sea Breeze, the more you would lose.

Blue White Ghost Wings was well aware of this point, so he held down Azure Sea Breeze and beat him.

Actually, most competitors were easily able to drive Azure Sea Breeze to death.

After all, the players in Glory Cup weren’t as powerful as competitors. Even those who were close were grouped with Azure Sea Breeze and ended up losing.

“Blue White Ghost Wings, right? Congratulations on winning the championship of the Glory Cup. On behalf of the 600,000 brothers and sisters of Glory Capital, I invite you to join. Are you willing to join Glory Capital?” Sorrowless asked solemnly.

“I am willing to!”

Blue White Ghost Wings was very excited.

“Actually, I’m kind of willing too – why didn’t you ask me?” Azure Sea Breeze, who was standing to the side, asked, giving them a bit of a fright.

Sorrowless’ perfect handsome face turned green, then white. He almost died from frustration on the stage.

Damn, he had to arrange for people to go after this guy and kill him.

“I kinda want to as well. Lu Li’s a bit of an idiot – he shows public displays of affection whenever he like., I feel like Glory Capital’s better, and you’ve given me so much money too.”

The minstrel Big Dog Li thought he should try to attract a bit of attention too.

Sorrowless told himself as firmly as he could to keep smiling. There were a lot of people watching down beneath him.

Fortunately for him, the host came over and changed the topic at the right time. The awards ceremony had entered into the next stage.

“Wow, Sorrowless is really treating that money like nothing,” Lu Li sighed. Compared to Sorrowless, he was like a coal miner who had come from the country to the city.

“But you’re making him angry to death,” Water Fairy said as she her little hand in Lu Li’s large one and gave him a bit of encouragement.

“*Cough*, not me, it’s got nothing to do with me. Actually, I didn’t know they entered the Glory Cup. These people really are over the top. When they get back, I’ll cut their pay.”

Lu Li took the opportunity to hold Water Fairy’s hand. Every time, he would be taken aback at how gentle and soft it was.

“Why would they even care about your little bit of money?” Water Fairy laughed as she covered her mouth, but she didn’t break off her other hand.

This level of intimacy was all too normal for couples.

“Hey, that’s right – they’re getting distracted. The team’s not doing well. I’ve got to think of a way to get them to hand their money over. If people have too much money, they become lazy,” Lu Li said. He firmly believed that this was for the good of Azure Sea Breeze and them all.

“I’d be crazy to believe you.”

Actually, Water Fairy really admired Lu Li.

Although Lu Li had experienced all kinds of emotions with her, when things were turned against her, he would do all he could. However, he didn’t seem at all worried that those few people on the stage would be taken away by Glory Capital, and he even dared to think about such a shameless thing as taking away their hard-earned money.

On the 1st of October, 2217, Dawn officially opened up the level 70s. Lots of information was posted online, along with a video clip.

The new map was called the Outland and was located on the other side of The Dark Portal. In the ruins of this world, after suffering catastrophe, the survivors worked hard to rebuild their home, and in the other areas of the Outland, life was still thriving.

The adventurers who would cross over through The Dark Portal would discover new allies, enemies and countless risky opportunities in this primitive but immense world.

But evidently, it wasn’t a particularly easy thing to do to enter into a new map.

There were lots of ways to enter into a new map – so many that even the reborn Lu Li could barely remember them all. It was just that at the moment, the only thing the players could use was probably the Dark Portal.

Currently, the Dark Portal was still located in some ruins, surrounded by a deathly stillness like it was a graveyard.

All players who came here were met with this sort of scene. After they completed a related quest, only then would they see a giant portal. On the other side of the portal was the new map – the legendary Outland.

Of the few NPCs that Lu Li knew, not many were actually able to issue quests.

If your charisma was too low, there was nothing you could do. Even if he had a whole string of First Clears behind him, in the eyes of an NPC, they would consider it more reliable to go with an idiot who wouldn’t even get into a fight.

It was a good thing there was someone who didn’t mind his low Charisma.

“My friend, I think you must be coming to ask for my help. Otherwise, you never would have thought of me.”

Like before, Remulos was sprawled over the floor.

“I’m extremely sorry, your excellency. Remulos, the continent is facing imminent danger at this moment. As the leader of a group of adventurers, I need to be vigilant at this time,” Lu Li said, trying hard to defend himself.

Wasn’t this nonsense? If someone had free time, who would be so bored as to go and chat with an NPC? (Hachi Chan: “Go to hell, Lu Li.”)

Lu Li was so busy recently that he didn’t even have time to see his teacher.

He suddenly thought that he needed to go pay a visit regularly to his own teacher. The level 70s would contain the Karazhan Instance Dungeon, which was Medivh’s old lair. As someone who had lived there before, and who had a really close relationship with Medivh, Garona could definitely benefit him.

“You’re an outstanding leader. I can see a lot of familiar faces with you,” Remulos said as he nodded with satisfaction.

“So, why are you actually coming to look for me this time anyway?”
