The Great Thief - Chapter 271

Chapter 271
His feelings of injustice were in vain; the angry Shaman didn’t even have a chance to heal himself before he died .


The Mage speechlessly stopped walking .
He initially thought that this Thief was in a similar predicament to him .
It seem to him that the both of them were struggling the kill each other’s healers . Who would have thought that he had been faking it the entire time? He just slaughtered their teammate like a chicken .
His mental state was a mess as he helplessly watched the Thief run towards him . He really wished that he could take off this Thief’s bandana and find out who this was .
Unfortunately for him, he didn’t get a chance to; the combined attacks of Lu Li and March Rain quickly eliminated him .
The Warrior’s response to all of this was as expected; he quickly conceded and left the match .
“That was really good,” Moonlight sincerely complemented March Rain . “The Priest should aim to circle a pillar and use it to interrupt any Mage’s channeled skills . This is a high-level technique that every Healer should master . ”
March Rain smiled happily; her previous grievances had been replaced with joy .
Discovering a new technique in the midst of battle was far more satisfying than having it told to you . It created a sense of achievement that made you feel like you could do anything .
Now she could confidently say that she loved this feeling .
Although she felt a similar way when they cleared Instance Dungeons, it was nothing compared to PVP .
“Don’t get too proud,” Lu Li said bluntly . “You are still a long way away from becoming a professional healer . A strong affinity for keeping yourself and others alive is a basic requirement for that . ”
“This guy… just let me be happy for a second . ” March Rain usually had a good temper, but she couldn’t help but wrinkle her nose at this .


“You’ll get it in a few more games,” Moonlight comforted .
“Don’t go out and fight mobs; find a place to rest instead . The coming fights will only get harder . ”
Lu Li and Moonlight hadn’t put in much effort, but March Rain had been completely focused in these matches .
Lu Li wasn’t an unreasonable person; he was just very strict on himself, which sometimes reflected in the way he treated others .
The three of them sat under a big tree and laid out a white cloth that they piled an assortment of food, drink and wild fruits upon .
Most of the wild fruits that could be found in the game were edible .
“I don’t know how my brother is doing,” March Rain worriedly said as she nibbled on some bread .
While they were eating, Wandering’s party was arrogantly and relentlessly crushing their opponents .
Although Wandering was a Defensive player, he had actually put quite a few points into Strength . He had also secretly been collecting a set of offensive equipment . With the two skill books gained from bomb farming, he wasn’t lacking in this department either .
He had the skills and the levels, so he definitely could do quite a bit of damage .
Sesame Rice Ball and Sakura Memories could go without explaining; these two just tried to deal as much damage as they could .
Moreover, Sakura Memories could also drop totems .
At the start of every match, they would rush straight at the opponent’s healer .
No one else would ever understand what it felt like to be rushed by three level 25 players .


Of the four matches they had competed in so far, they had always managed to successfully burst down the healer . After they had killed the healer, the remaining DPS professions didn’t stand a chance .
“These players are simply no challenge to us,” Wandering said as he shook his head with a proud expression on his face .
“Our levels are pretty high,” Sesame Rice Ball replied shyly .

“I think it’s because you’re too good looking, so they always give us a chance . ”
Sakura Memories didn’t pay attention to Wandering’s expression instantly turning dark .
This guy always mentioned his good looks, but would feel insulted if someone else did .
Azure Sea Breeze, Lonesome Flower and Hachi Chan, on the other hand, didn’t have such a radically aggressive lineup .
However, they had adopted another shameless strategy .
Azure Sea Breeze would stand in the front of Hachi Chan and Lonesome Flower .
This ‘turtle strategy’ ensured that no two players could be crowd controlled at once and that Lonesome Flower could easily help out Hachi Chan .
It created a seamless defense that prevented the opposing players from finding any openings .
If they focused Azure Sea Breeze, then that would be the optimal outcome . Azure Sea Breeze was so tanky that even a Boss couldn’t kill him, let alone these ordinary players .
If they started to attack Azure Sea Breeze, then Lonesome Flower would rain his fury down upon them .
Lonesome Flower’s damage was second only to Lu Li . However, Lu Li was so overpowered that no one could compare to him . In all of Dawn, there weren’t many people who could compare to Lonesome Flower .
Even if they had really strong Healer, they didn’t stand a chance against his and Hachi Chan’s combined attacks .
Once the Healer was gone, the match would be decided .
If you tried to kill Hachi Chan, that was truly a death sentence . This was the System’s daughter; she wasn’t that easy to kill .
She had good equipment and was a high level . However, she would also mysteriously get buffs like a Shield, Rebound, Reduce Damage, Dodge… and even Invincibility .
It was likely that one of the players who attacked Hachi Chan had ended up with some mental trauma .
The poor guy knew that he had just faced someone who was particularly strong but he was also convinced that all other Druids were just as overpowered . As such, he avoided Druids from that point onwards .
If you wanted to kill Lonesome Flower, you would need to be able to quickly break through his shield .
Before going into the fourth match, Lu Li quickly checked out what was happening with the other two teams .
Wandering’s team had already fought seven times, as their aggressive style quickly ended matches . Azure Sea Breeze’s team wasn’t far behind either – they had just finished their sixth match .
“Should we finish the matches faster?” March Rain asked .
For the sake of training her, Lu Li’s team had wasted quite a bit of time . Otherwise, the combined strength of Lu Li and Moonlight would have quickly eradicated most teams .
“There’s no need . Speed won’t win us the grand prize . We can only play ten matches every day anyway, so we can take it slowly,” Lu Li responded .
There was only one opposing player in this match .
As soon as the match began, he immediately gestured to stop .
“Hold on, please wait!”
There was only one person that was visible, but the other two players could still be in Stealth . Lu Li couldn’t risk lowering his guard .
“What do you want to say?” Lu Li asked as he stepped forward .
“Give me your bank account details . ”
It was a hunter who had a Ringed Bear by his side . It wasn’t an ordinary Ringed Bear either – it was a rare pet like Remnant Dream’s .
“Why do you want my bank details?” Lu Li was bewildered .
“I’ll give you $100,000 if you concede,” the Hunter offered gracefully .
“Dammit . Can I ask how many matches you have won?” Lu Li asked .
It turned out that he was only tycoon . Although Lu Li immediately lost respect for him, he realized that this probably wasn’t a rare occurrence .
It wasn’t just the Shadow Cup – almost all the tournaments had some kind of shady dealings . Most players were willing to accept this and as long as it didn’t create too much of a hassle, the organizers didn’t bother dealing with it either .
However, $100,000 real was no small amount .
“I’ve been through eight games so far; you are the ninth . Don’t be ashamed to take it – you do what you can to get rich . Moreover, there are eight teams before you who have already accepted our friendship . ”
The Hunter’s perspective was a little strange – he believed that any rational person would accept his offer .
