The Great Thief

Chapter 1556: Awkward Questions

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

If Lu Li immediately stood up and just left, it would seem cool to many teenagers.

These things didn’t happen often in reality. However, people with average EQ and IQ wouldn’t do something like that, since no one would interact with such a boring person. No one acted like that in the gaming industry anyway.

But what was the problem?

“Have you eaten breakfast?”

This question was also problematic, but if Water Fairy did ask something like that, then it would be quite meaningless.

“Do you not know what to ask?” Dark Wind laughed cunningly.

Water Fairy thought hard about what to ask. In the end, she nodded her head. Perhaps there were too many questions, but she couldn’t ask them in public. She didn’t want to broadcast their love in front of the world.

“That’s fine.”

Dark Wind was smiling from eye to eye. Then, he took out a bunch of cards and pointed at them, saying, “These are all the questions from our audience. You can take out three cards, then choose one of them to ask Lu Li. How’s that? I think that’s not a bad arrangement at all. After all, being able to pick one question from three questions is already quite generous.”

Lu Li and Water Fairy both looked at the cards and wanted to kill this person.

This hole had already been dug quite early on; all that was left was for them to jump in it. Both of them felt rather uneasy about the situation, but they still had to cooperate. All of their fans were watching this.

Water Fairy randomly picked three cards.

She looked at the first card, and immediately started smiling.

The question on the card was directed to Lu Li.

“When was the last time you peed in your sleep?”

Water Fairy felt that this question shouldn’t be asked; it would hurt a man’s dignity.

The second question on the card asked when Lu Li had his first kiss.

This question wasn’t tactful either – what if he hadn’t had his first kiss? If he hadn’t, then it would also hurt his dignity, but if he had, then Water Fairy wouldn’t be too happy. All in all, she didn’t want to know the answer to this question, so she skipped over it.

The last card read, “Have you ever thought about doing the deed with the person you like? You can only answer with yes or no!”

Water Fairy didn’t know what to do. She couldn’t ask this question either.

If she did ask this question, then it would make her seem unreserved.

Which question should she choose?

Lu Li closely examined Water Fairy’s expressions. Originally, he didn’t care that much, but that gradually changed. Which question was she going to ask? It didn’t seem like any of them were favourable.

“I choose this one,” Water Fairy declared, then handed the card to Dark Wind. She couldn’t ask it herself.

Since she couldn’t even read out the question, Lu Li began to panic.

“Haha, then I’ll gladly take it! Water Fairy wants to ask you this question. Since it’s something that she wants to ask, then I won’t hold back,” Dark Wind said with an innocent look on his face.

“What a load of BS. You said that she wanted to ask this, but it was clearly you guys who forced her to ask this,” Lu Li thought to himself.

“When was the last time you peed in your sleep?”

Dark Wind had a completely serious expression on his face, which was in juxtaposition to the question.

“...” Water Fairy had to cover her mouth as she laughed.

“...” Lu Li was speechless. Completely speechless.

“You need to answer! This was a question chosen by Water Fairy herself!” Dark Wind emphasised.

“Probably when I was 7 or 8 months old,” Lu Li answered as he took a deep breath in his heart. Any adult when asked a question like this would feel ashamed. Fortunately, he was quite thick-skinned.

“That’s pretty good! Normally, little children stop peeing their beds when they reach 1 year old or 1 and a half years old. Lu Li was already proficient at self-control when he was that young! Hahaha~” Dark Wind had to calm Lu Li down since he seemed rather angry at that time. If he didn’t laugh that loud, perhaps that would’ve helped even more.

“Let’s continue analysing the competition,” Lu Li said, trying his best to redirect everyone’s attention.

Water Fairy slipped the remaining cards to Lu Li, which were the two that didn’t get asked. After seeing both cards, Lu Li was extremely grateful that she hadn’t chosen either. He used the back of his hand to wipe away the sweat on his forehead. This was even more draining than commanding a battle.

“This is the end of the stage battles. Team Screen Protector has won!” Dark Wind announced, realising that he had neglected his actual role in the match.

However, no one in the audience complained, since most of them weren’t here to watch the match. This level of play was not that interesting compared to watching this couple together on-screen.

Unfortunately, they missed out on a chance to let the couple choose the winner and loser. Otherwise, they could have had a second round of questions.

“Actually, the gap between them weren’t that big. It was only the first match where the skill level of both Mages mattered the most. Something that can be taken away from this is that regular practice and training is important, as well as having PvP experience under your belt,” Lu Li commented, deciding to take the lead this time. He was afraid of jumping into another trap.

“What will happen in the team battles after seeing what went down in the stage battles?” Dark Wind asked, then cunningly smiled again and suggested, “How about we have these two guests pick the winner and loser from the team battles?”

Lu Li took a deep breath. From what he saw from these two teams, he couldn’t tell who would win.

Both him and Water Fairy didn’t know anyone from either teams.

How could he choose?

“Oh, that’s right. If you’re both incorrect, then both of you need to ask the other person a question. If you are both right, then you’ll still need to ask the other person a question.”

Dark Wind had an evil grin on his face; this was clearly not his first rodeo. Lu Li and Water Fairy hadn’t experienced something like this. They hadn’t been played to this extent before.

“Team Screen Protector!” Water Fairy made a decision first.

“Then I’ll pick Team Ursae Majoris.”

Lu Li thought about his answer. If he chose the same answer as Water Fairy, then it didn’t matter who won and who lost. They would still need to answer two questions. If they went the route of having different choices, then there would at most be one question waiting for them.

“Alright. No take-backs. We’ll wait and see.”

Dark Wind was like a dealer. He was having quite a bit of fun.

Team Screen Protector sent out five players – a Thief, Warrior, Mage, Priest and a Paladin. This was a standard team composition. The Paladin had chosen the Retribution DPS route, so this was known as the Three Knives team composition. The Mage was there to crowd-control with Ice magic. Looking at the team composition, Lu Li already felt that he had lost.

Being an amateur battle, the advantages that the classes brought were important.

However, Team Ursae Majoris’ team composition was abnormal. They had three healing classes – a Priest, Druid and a healing-specialised Paladin. The last two players were Mages.

Were they planning on fighting a long-lasting battle? Once again, Lu Li was not sure of the victors and losers.

If Team Ursae Majoris could take out the healer on the opposing side, then they were guaranteed a win. After all, one Mage wouldn’t be able to do anything against a whole team of players.
