The Great Thief - Chapter 499

Chapter 499: Wirt’s Third Leg
Would it be Gold equipment?


For most Treasure Hunters, the thing they probably didn’t want to see the most was equipment .
Equipment like bracelets and earrings were very rare and highly sought after . Some players had opened hundreds or thousands of chests without even finding a single one .
However, they would still prefer rare materials or Trade Skill Blueprints to appear in treasure chests . They would also take Skill Books as well, although Skill Books like the Warrior’s Charge were already worthless .
If it was a Steel Treasure Chest, the equipment dropped would only be Steel grade . Right now, even exquisite Steel equipment was not worth much money .
As such, the Gold Treasure Chest would drop a Gold Treasure Chest . As long as the attributes weren’t too bad, the item would be worth a decent amount of money . Gold equipment was still in short supply at the moment .
Lu Li only had a few pieces, let alone the ordinary players .
However, if there were other items in the chest, they would probably be more expensive .
The skill channel didn’t actually take that long; it soon completed and a ‘kacha’ sound could be heard . The Gold Treasure Chest slowly opened .
Lu Li took a breath and reached into the chest .
The item that he touched felt cold and a little tough . When he took it out, he realised that it was a pair of shoes .


Lu Li sighed internally; his current shoes were the Tempest Leather Boots .
Tempest Leather Boots (Silver): 25 Armour, All Stats+10, Movement Speed+5%, Special Effect: Escape . After activating, you instantly appear at a location within 15 feet . Cooldown Time: 180 seconds, Equipment Requirement: LV25 . Durability: 50/50 .
They increased all attributes, gave a 5% move speed buff and even had an escape effect .
They were simply perfect .
Even though they were only a level 25 Silver, Lu Li could probably use them until level 35 . Of all the level 30 Silver or Gold equipment, he had not seen any boots that were better .
He had many reasons to love them – they had a beautiful appearance and were comfortable…
Now, he had received another pair of shoes, but they were just leather shoes . Lu Li was quite disappointed .
Rebirth hadn’t changed his luck; he was still very unlucky . After all, he was just an ordinary person and didn’t have supernatural luck like the System’s daughter Hachi Chan .
His equipment wasn’t that Heaven-Defying either . It was just a little better than that of the top players, so there was much room for improvement .
If a player always found great items, but they were always shoes, then their strength would be limited . Even if they traded, they wouldn’t be able to get the best items .

Regardless, he had a look at the items properties .
Wirt’s Third Leg (Gold): Armor 35, Agility +20, Constitution +12, Movement Speed +8% . Special Effect 1: Fade into the shadows and appear behind a target . Increases movement speed by 80% for 3 seconds and increases damage done by the next spell by 20% . Reduces Threat by 50% . 120 second cooldown . Special Effect 2: Wirt’s Fake Leg, Instant Cast, bound forward or backward by 8 yards . 120 second cooldown . Equipment Requirement level 35 . Durability 82/82 .
There was also a long inscription on the boots which described Wirt’s unhappy childhood . When he was young, he and a group of other villagers were kidnapped by a Dark Mage and experimented on .
After a few years, he was fortunately rescued by a passing hero . However, Wirt had already suffered a lot of torture and had lost the ability to walk . As such, the hero gave him a pair of magical boots which were called Wirt’s Third Leg, otherwise known as Wirt’s Fake Leg .
After his ability to walk was restored, he followed this hero and gradually became an Epic Thief . He then successfully killed the Dark Mage that had gone into hiding .
Lu Li decided to take back what he had thought previously .
The Tempest Leather Boots weren’t perfect . They were a little weaker than Wirt’s Third Leg .
The Tempest Leather Boots added 10 to all attributes, but the only useful attributes were Agility, Strength and Constitution, in that order . Wirt’s Third Leg added 20 points to the most important attribute, Agility . As such, it clearly had the best properties .
Wirt’s Third Leg also had 3% more Movespeed .
As for the special effect, the Tempest Leather Boots only had one escape . It was very useful, but it was a bit awkward because it sent you 15 yards in a random direction .
If the environment was complex, Lu Li wouldn’t dare to use the effect, especially if he was near a cliff edge, a deep ravine or a volcano . If it placed him in a bad spot, the effects could be disastrous .
Similarly, Wirt’s Third Leg also had an effect called Wirt’s Fake Leg .
This only moved him by 8 yards, but he could control whether he wanted to move forwards or backwards . It was useful for both chasing and escaping .
Additionally, Lu Li also thought that its first effect was very strong .
It was almost the same as Shadow Cloak, and perhaps was even stronger .
It included a 10% speed buff for 1 second, increase damage and decreased Threat by 50% . That was really good for Bosses, no matter how high your Threat was .
He should have retired the Shadow Cloak a long time ago, but Lu Li had been reluctant to because of its effect . However, with Wirt’s Third Leg, he could now find a new cloak . The clear increase in strength when changing from Tempest Leather Boots to Wirt’s Third Leg made it easy .
The only issue was the equipment level requirement . Suddenly, Lu Li felt motivated to level again .
Unless if they were levelling maniacs like Sakura Memories, most players were like Lu Li . They couldn’t just keep on levelling forever; the human psyche just couldn’t stand it .
However, with a goal in mind, anyone could enjoy the boring levelling process .
Tanaris was not suitable for levelling, as the lowest-levelled monster was level 40 .
Before Lu Li left, he intended to take a look at the Southshore Sea Pirates .
In his previous life, that place had quickly become a contested land and turned into a bloodbath between competing guilds . Later, negotiations arose and the decision was made by the strongest .
He didn’t know the specifics; an average player like Lu Li wouldn’t know about this kind of thing .
He had always heard about the Southshore Sea Pirates, but he hadn’t killed a single pirate from there before .
Right now, no one knew about the Southshore Sea pirates, so there was no one stopping him from farming .
There were several camps of Southshore Sea Pirates, but the most important one was called the Lost Rigger Cove . This was the pirate’s base camp, and was the filled with elite monsters .
Lu Li spent a tremendous amount effort just to get to this place .
However, he didn’t have a choice; his level was low, so any monsters he fought would take a long time to kill . If he ran into any groups of monsters, he would have no choice but to run away .
