The Great Thief

Chapter 1165: Levelling

Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations

“You’re planning on becoming a Master Alchemist?” Sesame Rice Ball asked as he handed seventeen rare recipes to Cold Chill.

“Yeah. I’m not great at training levels or PVP anyway,” Cold Chill sadly sighed.

Cold Chill wasn’t too surprised at these seventeen recipes. After all, she knew nothing of their values. In this situation, Lu Li should have signed a contract with Cold Chill, so that if she ever betrayed Ruling Sword, she would have to pay a tremendous fee for going back on it. From Lu Li’s previous life as a Gold Farmer, his contract fee was already extremely large. This had to be worth even more.

However, Lu Li had a good impression of Cold Chill.

In his previous life, he recalled that even after Cold Chill became the greatest Alchemist in Dawn, she did not forget about those who helped her. Although many large organisations gave her tempting offers to leave her small guild, she remained loyal in the end.

She was most well-known for not being greedy and being easily satisfied, as long as her needs were met.

Therefore, large binding contracts would do no good to pull her to their side. Lu Li planned to earn her trust by not signing a contract at all.

“Hey Lu Li, what’s your Alchemy level now?”

Sesame Rice Ball was a straightforward person. He was only different when he was in the labour squads, but after becoming more acquainted with Lu Li, he was now his normal self.

This effect could only be given if the mentor was a Master-level in a Profession.

If Lu Li took a student for Forging, then there would be a similar effect. However, Lu Li prioritised normal EXP over Profession EXP, so now that he had freed up a slot for a student, he would not waste this opportunity.

Lu Li’s rank on the Level Rankings was drastically dropping. He was now barely in the Top 30. Many players were now level 56, and some were even nearly at level 57, while Lu Li was still at level 55.

“You guys can keep talking. I’ll go and train first,” Lu Li said as he waved goodbye and left.

He planned on going to Sardor Island, which was an island off the southwest coast of Kalimdor. The eastern part of the island was much higher than the western part. The southeast part was where the cliffs were, while the southwestern part of the island had a sandbar near the shore.

On the shore, there was dense vegetation and trees. Many active plants lived around this area. In the northeast area of the island stood a large fortress – the Feathermoon Stronghold.

This was an obscure stronghold in an equally obscure area. Many players would not touch this place in their lifetime. However, for elite players, this was the best levelling area for players before level 60.

The level 55-59 Naga didn’t have much HP, so a few hits were enough to kill them. Furthermore, the experience given from these Naga were a few times more than normal monsters.

Feathermoon Stronghold’s backstory made Lu Li deeply afraid. Shandris Feathermoon’s parents were killed in the War of the Ancients while battling against the Burning Legion. Tyrande Whisperwind met the then Shandris Feathermoon, who was not even a Priestess, and joined the battle.

Today, Shandris Feathermoon was the commander of many warriors. She built the Feathermoon Stronghold in the Southern area and controlled many territories in the Feralas area.

Lu Li recalled that the Horde and Alliance players loved to attack each other’s’ territories. A normal sentry or stronghold would not be able to withstand battles between players.

One day, a massive group of Horde players decided to invade Sardor Island and storm into the Feathermoon Stronghold.

However, it was unfortunate that they angered the Commander of this stronghold – Shandris Feathermoon. Shandris, the Dark Elf, was unexpectedly powerful. She was so powerful that she completely wiped out these players.

This battle led to the immortalisation of Shandris Feathermoon, who was acknowledged as an undefeatable Alliance NPC.

Lu Li went straight to the Ruins of Solarsal, planning to stay for a long time to train.

“Stop!”

Lu Li halted as he watched two players jump down from the trees. Lu Li then grabbed the hilt of his dagger which sat on his waist.

It was two players from the Horde!

Sardor Island was in the territory of the Alliance, so why were there players from the Horde in here?

“Sorry for the inconvenience, but this island is a training ground reserved for Glory Capital. You can choose other areas to train in. If you are willing to leave, I can transport you to the portal area.” Although the tone wasn’t arrogant-sounding, the words themselves definitely were.

“Glory Capital?”

Lu Li paused for a bit. He finally knew how Glory Capital had managed to level their members up so quickly.

One-third of the Top 30 players in Level Rankings were players from Glory Capital. A large majority of were their professional players and their Mage players. Sorrowless was already level 56, which was even higher than Lu Li. On one hand, Lu Li had a lot to do, outside and inside the game, so he didn’t have time to train. On the other hand, it was Glory Capital who had taken control of this area as their training ground.
