The Great Thief

Chapter 1423: The Most Shameless

“Are you sure you want this one?” The supervisor felt a headache coming on.

The speed of the phoenix transformation wasn’t particularly fast, and neither was its flying speed. Even though Lu Li had learned the Crow Transformation from Medivh, he wouldn’t be able to fly faster than Hachi Chan’s Butterfly Transformation.

However, the key aspect was that the Phoenix can be reborn. Once Water Fairy learned this skill, she would gain the ability to regenerate once a day.

The other two options didn’t have this ability.

Of course, since this transformation had been revealed, it meant that this was possible within the System’s rules. All three of these transformations were unique, and were only granted once by the System in special circumstances.

“Yes, I’ll take this one,” Water Fairy said without hesitation.

This was barely a choice – there was the ugly green parrot, a grey owl and a phoenix. One of them was clearly better than the rest.

“I should remind you that if you choose the Phoenix, you will have to wait a while because the step of the quest involves a new map.”

There was nothing else that the supervisor could do now.

The Phoenix was better than the other two options, but the process for acquiring it was more troublesome. Water Fairy had to go to a new map to get it, which meant that she couldn’t acquire it quickly.

“That’s fine. If its late then its late,” Water Fairy insisted.

“As for your ring... this is a coincidence, but you will also have to wait until a new map is opened before you can upgrade it further,” the supervisor said. “However, I can give you a hint. Go to the Throne of the Elements to try your luck. You have killed quite a few Bosses, so your next upgrade will definitely be very impressive.”

This was a frustrating response. Even though he had a better understanding of the game than most, he still wouldn’t be able to upgrade the Supreme Ring to the fourth level.

“That’s it?” Lu Li was dissatisfied.

“My hands are tied. You should know that I don’t have control over every aspect of the game. At most, I can only provide a little bit of information. If something goes wrong, I will be held responsible,” the supervisor sighed bitterly.

From a business operations perspective, the transaction that was happening between him and this couple was fine, but public opinion was a completely different matter.

“You can rest assured that everything will be kept confidential, but I do have one more request,” Lu Li the exploiter said.

The supervisor looked at Lu Li’s mouth as it moved. He felt like the person in front of him was trying to take advantage of him.

“I can only fulfil three requests, no more. It’s not just me either; my boss will say the same thing.”

I know that the Couple System will come with a pair of rings. Is that right?” Lu Li asked, not bothering to address his concerns.

“Yes, as long as the relationship status is confirmed, you will get the pair of rings.”

The supervisor had a bad feeling about this.

“We already have the pocket watches, so what can the rings do for us?” Lu Li asked.

“Oh... there is nothing we can do about it. You got the pocket watches yourselves.”

The supervisor was about to cry.

“My request is not that demanding. Why are you giving me that look?” Lu Li was speechless.

Water Fairy let out a grin.

“Okay, what is it?”

The supervisor relaxed his shoulders. He understood that Lu Li was synonymous with shamelessness. The Goddess Water Fairy was complicit too; she was smiling in the face of this shamelessness.

“Replace the ring with something else. I don’t believe that the couples are only given rings. Such items that have no form of advancement are boring,” Lu Li said confidently.

“How about the double Mount?” the supervisor suggested.

Lu Li and Water Fairy looked at each other and shook their heads. What use would they have for a double Mount? It was totally useless. If Lu Li wasn’t playing with Water Fairy, then Lu Li would just be riding it alone. The double Mount was the most popular item among couples, because it was quite romantic.

“What about a True Orange Heart?” the supervisor continued, then went on to explain, “This is a must have item. If you don’t have it, you will have to get it from the store for 100 gold coins. Ms. Shen could wear it, and she might even want to wear 999 of these.”

Lu Li just stared at him.

“Haha, that was just a joke. What about some fashion items for couples?”

Before Lu Li responded, the supervisor already knew the answer.

“Seems like you aren’t interested. Just tell me what you want.”

In fact, the supervisor wanted to just turn around and leave.

Unfortunately, he still had to grant the requests.

This guy was the most shameless of them all. They had already agreed on three requests, but now he was trying to get even more.

However, Lu Li was right. The biggest reward for the Couple System was the ring, and it was useless for Lu Li and Water Fairy. If you didn’t compensate for this crucial part of the System, you were simply asking for it.

“It’s quite simple. Just let us combine the Pocket Watch and a Badge,” Lu Li said, revealing his true intentions for the first time.

The pocket watch was a type of badge, so if you used it, you had to replace your current badge. If he and Water Fairy wanted to get the Regeneration effect, they had to equip the pocket watch which was equivalent to having one less item equipped.

Although Stamina could be regenerated, it came at the cost of Strength. It was a trade-off.

Of course, Lu Li wanted better than that. If he could combine it into a piece of equipment, it would be much better.

“I can’t do that. I don’t have the ability to mess with items,” the supervisor refused.

“I don’t think my request is too demanding. I think you will find a way to do it.”

Lu Li had made such a bold request, so naturally, he would try to insist on it.

In fact, Dawn’s Game Company generally didn’t interfere with equipment. For combining two pieces of equipment, there was a special item that could do this. However, this could also be achieved with a scroll. The problem was that Lu Li didn’t know where to obtain such a scroll.

After calming down, the supervisor seriously considered ways to talk Lu Li out of this, or... to find a way to fulfil this request.

He negotiated with Water Fairy and Lu Li, and contacted some staff in the conference room.

Soon, an answer was returned. A team member of the design department had found a way to combine equipment – there was indeed such a scroll. Once this scroll was obtained from the quest, it could be used to combine two badges into one.

This item was actually not that valuable.

The most common item among the players was the camp badge, or the Adventurer’s Exploration Badge.

But apart from this, it was difficult for ordinary players to find special equipment, let alone special equipment from the same category. As such, there were few people that had the opportunity to use it.

When picking out quest awards, almost no one would choose this scroll.
