The Great Thief - Chapter 542

Chapter 542

Water Fairy went about her way merrily and Lu Li went back to sleep .

By the time Square Root Three contacted him, his days of fatigue had disappeared . Before this, his lack of sleep made his body feel slow and unresponsive .

When he woke up, he went into his sister’s room .

There was some makeup on her table that Lu Xin had bought from other players for cosplaying .

Lu Li had an urge to put on some makeup . There had to be someone that liked this look .

"Our next match is Majin Temple; they managed to pull off a massive comeback this morning and defeated Gale Legion," Square Root Three laughed bitterly .

"Tsk, there’s going to be some rivalry between our guilds," Lu Li sighed .

In the Magic Cup alone, Ruling Sword and Majin Temple has faced off three times already . Each match was an important decider match as well .

In the first match, Majin Temple had lost to Ruling Sword, ending their winning streak in this tournament .

In the second match, Majin Temple had lost again and was almost eliminated from the Quarter-Finals .

If they lost the third match, they wouldn’t qualify for the semi-finals .

"Poor guy . " Lu Li felt sorry for the famous Unforgettable Maple who had already establish his name as one of the top shot callers . He probably had nightmares about Lu Li at this point .

"Don’t underestimate Majin; all their players are famous star players as well . " Square Root Three wasn’t sure whether he should feel happy or sad .

Majin Temple’s only losses were against Ruling Sword . Their team was very formidable, and they had even managed to defeat Gale Legion .

Gale Legion was consisted of Gaze, Cloudy Left, Wendelian and three rookie players . Despite their solid lineup, Unforgettable Maple had an excellent performance, completely outplaying them and killing Gaze right in front of Cloudy Leaf .

"Don’t worry, we can deal with Majin Temple . Oh yeah, who’s up against Peerless City?" Lu Li asked .

"Gangnam Royals…" Square Root Three answered .

"Interesting, a match-up between different generations of top guilds . What was the outcome?" Lu Li laughed .

He despised Gangnam Royals and looked down upon them because of their past differences and disagreements .

"Gangnam Royals lost convincingly and were immediately eliminated from the competition . I predict that Gangnam Royals won’t be able to secure their No . 2 ranking and might drop below the Top 5 . Heart of War is too arrogant . He managed to ruin such an established guild in a couple of years . I doubt he would be able to stay as the Guild Leader…" Square Root Three rambled on about Heart of War’s incompetence .

Lu Li did not tell him, but he knew that Heart of War would continue to stay as the Guild Leader .

The gaming society wasn’t as simple as it seemed . There were many factors that contributed to Gangnam Royals’ regression . Even though Heart of War was incompetent, he was able to push the blames onto others and convince their sponsors to continue supporting him as their guild leader .

Lu Li knew that Old Man Power was going to carry all the blame this time

This drove him to quit the guild and join Blood Red War Flag .

In order to fit in with his new team, he switched Specializations from a Restoration Druid to a DPS druid . Although he wasn’t the top player in the game, he made a name for himself amongst the Druid community .

Lu Li had played Druid in his past life and read many guides that were written by him .

"How many teams are left?" Lu Li asked .

"We eliminated Azure Guard, Peerless City eliminated Gangnam Royals, Seventh Heaven eliminated Blue Universe and Gale Legion lost to Majin Temple . However, Gale Legion has enough points to prevent them from being eliminated . The remaining teams in order of points collected is currently Peerless City, Gale Legion, Seventh Heaven, Majin Temple and us," Square Root Three explained .

Peerless City had yet to lose a single match, so they ranked first in points . Gale Legion and Seventh Heaven had both lost a single match . Ruling Sword and Majin Temple were the only teams with two losses .

As such, there were five teams that would want to qualify for the semi-finals .

In other words, the match between Ruling Swords and Majin Temple was a must win .

"Everyone’s here already?" When Lu Li had arrived, the other starters were already waiting for him . His chilled and relaxed attitude contrasted with his teammates’ intensity and concentration .

"Sorry, if it weren’t for my screw-ups, we wouldn’t have to play this match," Fat Monkey apologized guiltily .

The champions of the Shadow Cup, having to crawl their way into the semi-finals and barely making it to the quarter finals… .

This was quite embarrassing, and many of the Ruling Swords fans were were directing the blame to the rookie Fat Monkey on the community forums .

They thought that it his extreme and risky playstyle that had caused the ‘Lu Li-less Ruling Sword" to fall .

In reality, there were no reasons for them to have lost those matches because their opponents were relatively weak .

"Monkey, what are you talking about?" Lu Li was between laughter and tears, interrupting his self-criticism . He then said in a joking tone, "Do you not know who our opponent is? It’s crazy girl; we completely counter them…"

"Who’s sorry?"

Lu Li turned around to see Unforgettable Maple’s dark face right in front of him and laughed, "Oh, what a coincidence! Are you guys about to enter as well?"

"Look at your dark circles," Unforgettable Maple laughed coldly . "Winning with cunning strategies and cheap shots is unreliable . I’m not as dumb as Floral Paralysis, so don’t think you can trick me so easily . "

"Same goes for you . My relationship with Floral Paralysis is pretty good . So what if I tricked him?" Lu Li had a face of innocence .

"How long has it been since you’ve had proper rest? If your performance is going to be as bad as this morning, then I suggest that you come of the bench as a sub," Unforgettable Maple mocked him as he led his teammates into the arena .

As he walked away, he continued to stare at Lu Li .

"Crazy sister…" a confused teammate began to say .

"Sister, sister your ass . " Unforgettable Maple was furious and threw a punch towards him . Did they all call him crazy sister behind his back? He even treated them so well .

"Brother Fong, Brother Fong, my bad . " The poor guy had made a simple mistake but was beaten up for it .

"Go on, what did you want to ask?" Unforgettable Maple felt refreshed after he punched him a couple times .

"Why do you always stare at Lu Li’s face… . ? Brother Fong, I’m not trying to suggest anything . " The teammate shrivelled up when he received a cold stare from Unforgettable Maple .

"His eyes were really dark," Unforgettable Maple said with a mysterious tone .

The same conversation was happening over within the Xin Xin Mercenary group .

"Big boss, your dark circles are pretty bad," Sakura Memories said worriedly .

"It’s worse than this morning," March Rain agreed . She hesitated but then asked, "Should you sit this match out?"

The others were worried as well . The game had created the perfect facial details for Lu Li – pale face, lifeless eyes and extremely dark eye bags .

"Sh, I’m tricking them," Lu Li laughed with a wink .
