The Great Thief - Chapter 559

Chapter 559

As Lu Li numbly continued to Pick Pocket the Trolls, he would manage to steal their clothes or their weapons from time to time . He would then have to quickly kill those trolls .

Suddenly, a Frostbolt exploded on his chest, dealing over 100 damage . At first, he didn’t react at all; it was difficult to remain vigilant in this rain while doing this really monotonous task .

It was only when the second Frostbolt hit him that he reacted .

Was there someone attacking him?

Who could it be? Unforgettable Maple, Lucky Southern Persian, Wild, Sorrowless…

It couldn’t be any of those guys; his attacker only dealt 100 damage to him . His HP pool of 2800 was only being reduced by a little bit .

Lu Li turned around to find a Mage behind a tree, whose body was half exposed, charging another Frostbolt . Lu Li wondered who this person was and how they were brave enough to attack him .

The Mage hadn’t stopped . After firing the second Frostbolt, they were already channeling the third one .

Frostbolt was one of the most common Mage skills . It was like an icebolt, but it needed a channel period and did much more damage . If his attacker’s equipment was at the same level as his, it could easily deal 300 damage .

"Why are you attacking me?" Lu Li asked .

"Do I need a reason to fight?’ the Undead Mage said mysteriously, not seeming to notice that Lu Li wasn’t actually taking that much damage from his attacks .

It was said that when a PVP maniac was wildly fighting, their blood boiled, and they stopped caring about anything else .

Lu Li increased his speed as he approached this Mage with the intent to kill him . He then smiled at this Undead Mage as he was walking and asked, "Do you think you can kill me in a few attacks? Don’t you have a stronger skill?"

Judging from his damage, this Mage couldn’t be at his level . This was obvious, as Lu Li was currently first in the Level Rankings .

His equipment was bad as well; he was wearing level 30 equipment that was quite common .

"You…" The Undead Mage’s hands started shaking a little .

"I think you’d need at least 15 hits before you can kill me, assuming I don’t fight back . "

Lu Li turned over his Shard of the Defiler and was ready to go .

He wasn’t but a PVP maniac, but he wasn’t bad at it either .

He also knew that this person was rather unlucky . They had unfortunately run into someone who was more powerful than they were .

"Your equipment…" Lu Li paused, then shook his head . "You’re not worth my time . What level are you?"

"Level 33 . I could have been higher levelled . " The Undead Mage put away his Magic Staff to show he was friendly .

The Thief before him had the ability to kill him, but didn’t seem to have plans to do so . The Mage liked killing, but he wasn’t dumb . He wasn’t going to do something pointless that would lead to EXP loss .

"Looks like you’ve died quite a few times," Lu Li observed .

With all the killing that happened here, players in Stranglethorn Valley took a longer time to level up . They were lucky that Dawn didn’t allow players to demote; once they were on 0 EXP, they wouldn’t keep losing EXP . Otherwise, it would be very difficult to stay at level 33 .

"I’ve been playing since the opening of the game, and I’m in the top 100," the Undead Mage said with a smile . "Oh yeah, who are you?"

"How about you tell me your name?" Lu Li asked .

"Three Season Rice," said the Mage after a moment of hesitation . He didn’t seem to want to, but he wasn’t distressed about it either . It was just like they were meeting for the first time .

Three Season Rice!

Lu Li immediately knew where he had heard this name from .

He was one of the three noob killers – Son of Arugal, Hogg and Three Season Rice . This was the legend that was spread among the players . To some, these three names were even more dangerous than the rank 1 player in the game .

Lu Li didn’t appreciate this player’s behavior, but now that he had committed to not fighting, it would be hypocritical for him to attack .

"I’m Lu Li," the masked Thief said quietly .

"Lu…Lu Li . " Three Season Rice’s lip became a little dry . He had killed countless players, but he had never run into a professional one before .

He didn’t realize that the first one he would meet would be the best one .

"It was fortunate to meet you; we’re both considered celebrities,’ Lu Li joked as he got up to leave .

It had already been quite generous of him that he hadn’t killed this noob killer . However, there was no way to him to become friends with him . If players found out that he was close with Three Season Rice, they would misunderstand Three Season Rice’s actions as part of Lu Li’s intentions .

Three Season Rice watched as Lu Li headed back to the monsters . He paused and shouted, "Thank you . "

It would take days for him to farm 10% of his EXP . After all, there wasn’t really a stable levelling environment here . Those who had been killed by him were always trying to gather a group to kill him .

"The rain is just too heavy . " Lu Li waved his hand and ended the conversation .

"I will not kill Ruling Sword players in the future," Three Season Rice muttered . He didn’t mean to say that to Lu Li as he spoke very quietly .

"I’d be very thankful for that . " Lu Li’s hearing clearly wasn’t affected by the rain .

It would be best if he didn’t further provoke this lunatic .

Three Season Rice killed noobs regardless of who they were . Lu Li didn’t fight him, so he couldn’t be sure, but he seemed like he had good technique .

Lu Li continued to steal from the Trolls with Pick Pocket and Three Season Rice turned away to continue his murderous undertaking .

With the interruption of Three Season Rice, Lu Li felt reinvigorated . He never really understood those PVP maniacs – they didn’t gain a reward from PVP and yet they still enjoyed it .

In comparison, he decided that perhaps Pick Pocketing wasn’t that boring after all .

Good equipment couldn’t be stolen from ordinary level 35 monsters, but he could obtain all kinds of ordinary materials and skill books that were worth a small amount of money . These skill books were mostly for Thieves, Shamans or Warriors .

Two hours passed as Lu Li continued to mechanically Pick Pocket and kill monsters .

He would occasionally open up his backpack to have a look, but he found something that he didn’t expect .

Fan of Knives: Instant Cast, consume some energy and throw countless blades at all targets within 10 yards, dealing 10% weapon damage . Proficiency 1/5 .

It only dealt 10% of weapon damage, so the damage was quite pitiful .

It also consumed a small amount of Energy . With 100 Energy, Lu Li could only use this skill three times at the very most . It also costed more than many of his other skills .

However, it was said that upgrading Fan of Knives was quite worthwhile . The damage could be greatly improved, and the countless blades could trigger a poison effect .

To learn and upgrade Fan of Knives, you needed the skill book and 4 Skill Points . Lu Li didn’t have that many Skill Points to spare .
