The Great Thief

Chapter 1530: Kneel on the Washing Board

“Are there more items?” Lu Li asked Remnant Dream.

This time Remnant Dream just stared straight at Lu Li and immediately shook her head. The shameless Lu Li was so greedy.

“We want this item,” Lu Li told Water Fairy. He examined Green Flag Wine and Deadly Gold Underpants’ expressions and saw that they weren’t especially excited. These two weren’t young and inexperienced players after all. Then, he continued to say, “Mu Qiu is planning on going down the path of DPS Paladin. I plan to give this weapon to him. He has the most points out of all the specialised classes and is also a professional player...”

If it were anyone else, he wouldn’t even bother to explain this much.

Even though Drizzle Court and Peerless City had contributed at least half of the members and resources to the team, if Lu Li didn’t include them in gaining the Dragon Slayer’s Roar and didn’t bring them to the Instance Dungeon, they would not even have a chance at taking a glimpse at this weapon. Even Glory Capital, who was much more powerful than Drizzle Court, was unable to take down the little Red Dragon.

If he didn’t bring them along, they wouldn’t have this chance.

However, they were allies, so he couldn’t be that imposing.

Furthermore, the relationship between Lu Li and Water Fairy was no longer a normal boy-girl relationship, so he couldn’t be that harsh. Otherwise, he would surely be single for life.

“If it’s like this, then you can take it,” Water Fairy said as she scrunched up her forehead. Although she didn’t think that this item was a must-have, she also didn’t expect Lu Li to propose something like this.

“Everyone’s already gotten something from this First Clear. We’re satisfied.”

“Thank you. We’ll talk later,” Lu Li promised as he squeezed her hand tightly, indicating that he was going to give her something.

“Lu Li, you’re impeccable. I hope that you won’t be abused by your wife when you get home later. I know an old doctor. He has medicine for bruises. If you need it, I’ll help you buy it.”

Azure Sea Breeze was not afraid and was pouring oil into the fire. However, his thoughts were the same as everyone else’s. No one expected Lu Li to make a proposal like this.

Her Tears didn’t object as he wasn’t a pro player. Unless Lu Li supported him, he wouldn’t be receiving items.

If Lu Li gave the item to Moonlight, Deadly Gold Underpants and Green Flag Wine probably would have been unhappy. They were allies after all, so he couldn’t act too out of line. If they really wanted to, they could have burst into rage and left them hanging.

However, Lu Li planned to give this item to Mu Qiu.

After the update, Mu Qiu chose the Retribution talent branch. He had reset his stats and focused them into DPS. He also switched his items to a whole set of Retribution Paladin equipment. Now, his role in the team was a DPS, so wanting Ashkandi: Greatsword of the Brotherhood was not out of line.

It was a difficult task for pro players to change styles of play. They all understood this, as professional players themselves.

The difficulty did not only come from changing old battling habits and the effects of items. For example, Mu Qiu, as a pro player, had less DPS than even Her Tears. It wasn’t that his mechanics were bad, but that his skill points could not be reset and invested into DPS skills.

Knowing this, Mu Qiu could only improve his mechanics and equipment.

Lu Li had fought him a few times recently and was extremely satisfied with his fighting mechanics. He felt that Mu Qiu was much more suited to going down the DPS route instead. Truthfully speaking, in Lu Li’s previous life, he recalled that Mu Qiu had chosen the DPS side. In the end, he was even recognised as the second ‘Tire Killer’.

With this, it was clear that his items were lacking. His whole body was equipped with items from the guild storage. They couldn’t even compare to the items that Her Tears was wearing.

This was why Lu Li wanted to give the sword to him.

For the next Donghua Cup, Mu Qiu was going to be bringing Fat Monkey along to compete. As for whether he could successfully change styles of play and allow his supporters to accept this new style, it would depend on this competition.

Moonlight didn’t have any objections. He only lightly slapped Lu Li on the shoulder, expressing his sympathy.

Lu Li sighed heavily, then gave the item to Mu Qiu. Then, he told Mu Qiu to give 500 gold to Remnant Dream for looting this item. To be able to make this item drop was so incredible that even Lu Li was amazed. Although this was the First Clear at Nightmare difficulty, her little lucky hand also made a huge contribution.

“Thank you, Boss,” Mu Qiu said as he quietly equipped this weapon, then gave a red packet to Remnant Dream.

He wasn’t a talkative person. However, his slightly-red eyes were definitely not from giving the 500 gold to Remnant Dream.

This was his dream – to walk the path of DPS. In reality, he was forced to go the healing route, because it was what the guild needed. Otherwise, he would have just been on the reserves.

He submitted because it was also his dream to be on the big stage.

After a while, he finally transferred. Rejecting all offers from other guilds, he decided to join Ruling Sword.

This was because Ruling Sword was a new club, which meant that there were more opportunities.

However, he didn’t think that his dream would be realised this soon. He received Lu Li’s promise that he would be able to try changing to the DPS route.

This type of trust and hope made him think that he was dreaming. He couldn’t understand as to why Lu Li recognised that he had a future going down the DPS route. He couldn’t even compare to a second-rate pro player. It seemed more sensible for Lu Li to give up on him and invite another Paladin into the guild.

To fill up the hole of a Healer left behind, Lu Li even paid a large price to acquire Innocent Child from the Gangnam Royals.

How could he not be touched?

However, he wasn’t someone who showed large displays of gratitude. The only thing that he could do was to work hard to realise his dreams, as well as realise the hope that Lu Li had in him.

As for skill points, he had a few left over. After all, he wasn’t the main healer in Dawn. His role was limited to a back-up Healer, which he didn’t need to try his best to achieve. As for the differences in skill points with the main pro players, he could work hard at completing quests and then joining every Instance Dungeon run possible after every cooldown to catch up to them.

He was a hard worker and would grind endlessly to improve his skills.

Now that his dream as a DPS was realised, the next goal was to defeat the ‘Tire Killer’ and become Dawn’s number one Paladin.

Since the Instance Dungeon was finished, everyone left, besides those who were completing quests inside.

After exiting the Instance Dungeon, Lu Li immediately went to look for Water Fairy.

They were in a relationship in the game system, so they were able to see each other’s position on the map.

In the streets of Stormwind City, a masked female Thief was walking, while another masked male Thief was following behind her every step of the way.

As the female Thief entered an accessory store, he would follow. The female Thief would enter a clothing store, and he would too. The female Thief strolled along the stores, and so did the male Thief. He maintained his distance but kept following even when the streets were crowded. He never lost her. Not even once.

Lu Li sharply realised that Water Fairy was unhappy; she was a little different to normal.
