The Great Thief - Chapter 220

Chapter 220
“Haha, I was almost LV22, while someone else was still stuck on LV 22 . ”


Azure Sea Breeze felt like the cloud that had been hanging around his head had almost been lifted .
As a levelling maniac, how could he let an idle thief out-level him?
“Oh, little insecure one,” spat Wandering .
“If I could farm at night, I think I could reach LV23 . ” Azure Sea Breeze disregarded him; he was completely immersed in his own world .
“Oh,” sneered Lu Li coldly, “I just asked Blood Red War Flag and Seventh Heaven for quite a bit of Starwood . I’ll be turning these into bombs, but if a certain warrior is levelling so quickly, he doesn’t need to come with us . ”
“Lu Li, oh Great Lu, I… . I… . ” Azure Sea Breeze was dumbfounded .
“You just got hacked…” Wandering maliciously attacked Sea Breeze, who was already down .
“You were tempted by the Rice-Ball-demon’s magic and said some things you shouldn’t have . ”
Hachi Chan was legitimately attempting to help Azure Sea Breeze .
In the Protect the Meisnera Outpost Chatroom:
Dancing Star Dream: I found Sorrowless, but I died .
Jade Flower Lover: Where? How many people?


Dancing Star Dream: The coordinates are 78594, 56311, 56 . There were so many people who were probably PVP experts just like us . Given the direction they were taking, they are probably rushing towards us .
Lucky Southern Persian: Is it just a few dozen of them? What about their main force?
Dancing Star Dream: They have probably been deployed . I did a big loop around them, but I didn’t see any of them . They have quite a few thieves scouting around in Stealth; I got caught because I bumped into one of them .
Hornet’s Nest: What good comes from talking about you? You’re just one Mage who wanted to do something on your own . I hope you’ve learnt your lesson now .
Jade Flower Lover: Is everyone hearing this? Sorrowless is coming and we need to unite to fight this war .
Sorrowless wasn’t the most skilled among this group, but he still had quite the reputation . Not only was he the president of Glory Capital, but he was also on the top of the Horde’s PVP ladder .
Moreover, the Glory Capital’s wasn’t made up like the other big guilds . They didn’t have some big behind-the-scenes financial backer or supporter . Sorrowless himself was a rich second-generation child and thus, was able to effectively speak for Glory Capital .
In other words, he truly was the leader of Glory Capital .
Killing Blood Dagger was a happy occasion that had greatly increased the group morale . However, it would be nothing compared to killing Sorrowless .
If they were able to kill Sorrowless, today’s showdown at this camp would be over .
Jade Flower Lover: Our main forces are defending the Meisnera Outpost, so there will be a great difference in strength between us and the Horde . If we let them surround us, we won’t be able to stop them . We need to fight them now .
Empty: That is probably Sorrowless’ plan . That’s why he’s only brought a few people . He wants to fight a decisive, high-stakes battle .
Jade Flower Lover: He’s too arrogant then . We’ll see who wins this fight .


Wild: Actually, nothing bad will happen if we don’t fight them . Remember, our goal is just to lead them into the Warsong Canyon .
Empty: The Silverwing Output is not that easy to break into – the NPC there is stronger than we can imagine .

Jade Flower Lover: I’m aware that an open conflict has its risks . But if we, as the top players of the Light Faction, are unwilling to fight now, when will we ever fight? Wild, what do you think?
Wild: Let’s do it . It’s the Blood Red War Flag’s turn to place the bounty right?
Lu Li was curious about this and privately messaged Moonlight about the bounty .
Moonlight vaguely explained, “It’s just a way for these big guilds to gamble and show off how much money they have . When doing things like this, they will offer a large monetary reward for the player who successfully completes the quest . This is also how prestige is developed . ”
Lu Li responded, “Isn’t this just bribing the people?”
No wonder people said that guilds were not for poor people – they seemed to find all sorts of ways to spend money .
Moonlight grunted with disagreement, “It’s also a display of strength . To be able to pull out such a big bounty and complete the Bounty Quest is a display of strength . You should just consider it as a competition . ”
While this was going on, Jade Flower Lover had already reached an agreement about Blood Red War Flag’s bounty .
Objective: Sorrowless and the other Evil Faction elite players . Prize Money: 200,000 real money for Sorrowless . 100,000 for a Centurion . Prizes for Sergeants are calculated according to their rank .
Moonlight then asked, “Lu Li just killed Blood Dagger . What about that?”
Wild responded after a brief pause, “After the event is over, one hundred thousand dollars will be transferred to brother Lu Li’s account . Blood Red War Flag always keeps its word . ”
Blood Dagger had been killed before the event started, so technically, Blood Red War Flag didn’t need to pay him anything . However, the large guilds usually either had a big tolerance for this, or just felt embarrassed for not recognizing it . As such, Lu Li managed to earn a bonus sum of money .
It also likely had to do with Moonlight asking about it .
Moonlight was a seasoned expert, so whatever he said was unlikely to be opposed . Even the left and right eye brothers didn’t dare to oppose him .
Jade Flower Lover: Alright everyone, the hunt begins . At the very least, you should kill one other person before you die .
Hornet’s Nest: Just fight them one at a time . Remember to take screenshots of any equipment that you drop . Then, you can ask little Jade for compensation . We couldn’t properly compensate everyone last time .
Jade Flower Lover: Relax, it’s not just for equipment either . If you lose EXP, the Blood Red War Flag will compensate you with gold . This fight is for the glory of the whole faction, so we can’t hesitate at all .
The next few messages were just messages of encouragement .
However, Lu Li maintained an uncommitted attitude to all of this . He wasn’t a guild player, nor did he care too much about the glory of the factions . In actuality, these faction wars were actually just something coordinated and pushed for by the large guilds . It was something that the ordinary players quickly took on board .
Swirling Left Eye: My brother and I will be assassinating Sorrowless . I hope everyone will cooperate with us .
Normally, they wouldn’t aim so high, but their image had taken yet another beating today . After Lu Li had killed Blood Dagger, the Imperial Secret Service was once again put to shame . The little reputation that the left and right eye brothers once had was now a joke . They had to do whatever they could to regain their image .
Hornet’s Nest: You two…
Jade Flower Lover: Sure, we’ll give you a chance to do it . But the risk is quite high, so make sure you’ve thought this through .
Swirling Left Eye: We brothers aren’t cowards .
Jade Flower Lover: Everyone gather together; let’s head towards Sorrowless’ coordinates . Send people ahead to scout out the situation . If a large force appears, we’ll all have to retreat .
Lu Li didn’t rush ahead in an attempt to kill Sorrowless . He had experienced rebirth and knew better than everyone as to how scary Sorrowless truly was . He was a schemer – how could he put himself in danger like this for no reason?
There were a dozen players on each side and a hundred others who had entered the forest .
When Lu Li first started, he got a few easy kills due to the element of surprise .
However, the Evil Faction players were quite conservative, so they didn’t suffer too many losses . Soon, they responded with their own attacks .
Both sides had now engaged in a fierce battle in the forest’s open area .
In this situation, technique played a smaller role, as anyone could become the target of an attack and die .
Swirling Left Eye, Staring Right Eye and several other thieves slowly crept towards the centre of the Evil Faction players’ camp under cover .
Sorrowless – he was a Mage who was responsible for directing the Evil Faction players in combat .
As for Lu Li, he continued to play conservatively as usual . He always stayed close to Lucky Southern Persian and the rest .
He didn’t attack unless it was almost guaranteed that he would complete the kill . For example, he would only attack a player who had been left alone, was on critical HP, or was capable of being one-shot .
