The Great Thief - Chapter 255

Chapter 255
“Come on, let’s go get the stragglers . ”


Moonlight rested his axe on his shoulder and rushed towards Lu Li .
Initially, there were a few Imperial Secret Service players farming in the area . However, after their Main Tank died, most of them had their sights set on Lu Li and were chasing after him .
Moonlight didn’t really come into contact with anyone; he ended up going around to loot equipment . There would be some stragglers left behind, but there were probably only a few of them . Moreover, these stragglers were probably already scared and were unlikely to cause any trouble .
As for those that had died, even if they had the nerve to come back, it would still take quite some time to travel .
“Quickly pick up the equipment; we’ll meet up at our old spot in ten minutes . I’ll be back,” Lu Li said as he dragged the monsters away from them .
In Dawn, there was a chance that players would drop a piece of equipped gear upon death . Addtionally, there was also a smaller chance that they would drop items from within their backpacks . However, there was another even smaller chance that they would drop nothing at all .
Of the 600 people, over 500 had scattered the area with their corpses .
Nine players could be seen working like bees, cheerfully picking up all the equipment .
“A little girl with mushrooms, carrying a big bamboo basket…” Remnant Dream and Hachi Chan looted the corpses while happily singing a song .
Having played the game for over a month now, they no longer cared about the fact that hundreds of players had just died in this area .
After all, it was just a game and these weren’t real deaths .
In about five to six minutes, they had picked up all the items . There were 219 pieces in total .


The players present weren’t poor either – they all had the bag that gave them 12 additional item slots, on top of their 20 normal item slots . As they all used four extra bags, each of them could carry up to 68 items . So, it was actually quite a simple task for nine players to carry 200 items .
Of the 219 items, there were 116 Steel equips . The remaining portion was partially made up of rare materials and other miscellaneous items . There were also 52 Silver equips .
Of the 52 Silver equips, 38 of them were level 15, 12 of them were level 20 and 2 of them were level 10 .
It was difficult to quickly assess how much all of this was worth . However, with so much Silver equipment, it would certainly sell for thousands of gold .
Steel equipment was now worth very little and couldn’t be sold for gold coins anymore . However, this equipment was worn by the Imperial Secret Services’ elite . How could equipment that came from their elite be worthless?
Good Steel equipment could still be sold for 2-5 gold . It was hard to say how much level 10 Silvers could be sold for, but level 15 Silvers were worth at least 10 gold . If they had good attributes, then they could even be sold for 30 gold . A level 20 Silver equip with a useless effect could still be sold for 20 gold, but if it had a good effect, it would be priceless .
“This is so much money . We should just wait here for them to come again,” shamelessly said the cold Lonesome Flower . However, he knew that this thought was on everyone’s minds .
“They probably won’t come back,” responded, who had a deep understanding of guilds
Although they were one entity, a guild needed to balance many different interests while also considering the mood of its members . A large-scale operation like this wasn’t simply decided by one person on a whim .
They would have lost tens of thousands of dollars after what had just happened with Lu Li .
Even the President Emperor might not have the power to make an executive decision like that, let alone Raging Wolf Blood .
After ten minutes, Lu Li began to deal with the crowd of mobs he had been dragging around .
However, there were too many mobs this time and he had to use four bombs to successfully clear them out .


If it weren’t for the fact that he needed to hide his ability to transform into a leopard, he could have easily pulled even more monsters, which meant that he would have needed to use even more bombs .
After clearing out the mobs, he sat down to recover his Stamina .

Surprisingly, no one asked Lu Li about his leopard transformation . In reality, Lu Li also wasn’t sure how to address it . Eventually, he just raised his hand and said, “I accidentally found a ring that allows me to learn a few Druid skills . It’s nothing special . ”
Azure Sea Breeze had already seen Lu Li transform into a Leopard to help Drizzle Court break the Spider Lair dungeon record .
At the time, Lu Li had explained that it was a quest reward scroll .
Azure Sea Breeze didn’t think too much about it, but now that he knew the truth, he didn’t feel much better either . On the contrary, he was even more concerned about Lu Li .
“Now that those people know, will there be trouble in future?”
“Yeah, but we’ll deal with that later . ” Lu Li didn’t think that he would run into two thieves patrolling the mountain either .
“It’s not that bad,” Wandering said whilst caressing his face . “I’m constantly being hunted because of how handsome I am, but I am still able to keep on living . ”
“Narcissist . ” Everyone gave him the middle finger .
After he cracked that joke, the mood was lightened .
It was time to split up the loot .
The 52 Silver and 116 Steel equipment was more than enough for everyone to use . The amount of equipment was plentiful .
Actually, it should have been 54 Silver equipment . Swirling Left Eye and Staring Right Eye both had PVP points, so they should have dropped more than one item .
There was a helmet that was pretty good, which was kept by Lu Li .
Dormant Leather Headgear (Silver): Armor 22, Agility +15, Constitution +6 . Special Effect: Crowd control effects are reduced by 30% . Equipment Requirement: Level 20 . Durability 50/50 .
His previous Berserker’s Horned Helmet had a good effect, but it gave too few bonus attributes . As such, it was mercilessly thrown into the corner in of bag .
It could be used in a future occasion, but the level 20 Silver helmet was simply too cost effective .
“I’ll go and pull more monsters . You guys can take some equipment . Just take it if you can use it; there’s no need to be polite . After you guys are done, I’ll give the rest to my merchant friend who will sell them . We can split up the profits later . ” Lu Li had already carefully picked his items, but he was still carrying more than 20 bombs on him . He decided that it would be best to use them up quickly, just in case the Imperial Secret Service shamelessly decided to attack them again .
“We’ll just split up the profits . We didn’t do much to get this equipment and we still need to account for the cost of the bombs,” Wandering said, quickly stopping Lu Li .
“In that case, just forget about the cost of the bombs . It’s not much anyway . ”
Lu Li wasn’t an idiot – he just cherished friendship . He never wanted to be alone .
“What do you mean it’s not much? You probably spent over a thousand gold to make these bombs! That’s 10,000 in real currency!” Wandering laughed .
“…” Lu Li was speechless .
“We’ll just take anything from here – it’s still worth quite a bit of money anyway . We also can’t just let you take a loss, so listen to Wandering . Regardless, we all make quite a bit of money,” Moonlight said as he picked up a level 15 Silver Plate Amour and equipped it . He wasn’t shy about it at all .
The cost of making the bombs was incredibly high, and the only thing that could really make up for it was if the ghosts dropped skill books .
These little mobs could not drop Silver equipment and rarely dropped Steel equipment, but they often dropped skill books .
Even if these were just common skills, they could still be sold for handsome a sum of money . These books were split evenly, along with the miscellaneous items .
After Lu Li gave it some thought, he felt like he was taking this money for granted . As he absentmindedly pulled the monsters, he started to really consider how much money they had made .
Fortunately, this was ingrained in his muscle memory . Otherwise, he could have been killed because he was preoccupied with his thoughts .
Water Fairy had given him 800 Gold and seven materials . Those materials would be used for his teammates to create equipment . Even if those equips were sold at the lowest market price, it would still add up to around 1200 gold .
As the cost of the bombs was 1000 gold, everyone had decided to return that portion to him . Now that he had broken even, the skill books that had been assigned to him was pure profit .
With regards to the equipment that was delivered by the Imperial Secret Service, even after everyone took what they wanted, it would still be worth at least 1000 gold .
In one day, they had made over 3000 gold, which was the equivalent of $300,000 .
All of this was made in just one day .
In fact, Lu Li could make money really quickly . After this encounter, he would give the equipment to Shen Wansan, who would deal with the sales and deposit the gold in his mailbox . After accumulating the money and apportioning it to his teammates, he would still be left with hundreds of gold .
On average, he would make over ten thousand dollars in a day . Once he set up his business of crafting equipment for other players, he would be able to make even more money . To him, the most important thing was a stable income .
