The Great Thief - Chapter 564

Chapter 564

Since this was a game, fixing a ship wasn’t as troublesome as it would be in real life . Elvis did some knocking around with his few apprentices for a few dozen minutes before the ship was fixed .

"This ship is so pretty!" Hachi Chan exclaimed as she pounced onto it and refused to leave .

It was no wonder why she liked the ship so much . Elvis was clearly a perfectionist – the ship was now a piece of art .

Lu Li’s biased opinion towards Elvis had been shook once again .

Although what he did was a heavy and dirty job, his appearance was tidy . He wasn’t greedy – he had perfected the broken ship to this extent, but only charged 130 gold . This was definitely only the cost price of the materials . He was skilled as well – Lu Li noticed that his apprentices showed great respect to him .

It was hard to imagine why such a well-mannered artisan would be a gambler who hid from his debts .

Was there a story hidden in the dark? Perhaps players from Lu Li’s previous life had misunderstood the quest .

With this confusion in mind, Lu Li paid the sum and left the dock .

He still needed Hachi Chan to heal him, so he agreed to take this curious little girl to save the princess in return for her service .

"Why isn’t it a prince that’s saving her?" Clearly, she had been reading too many fairytales .

"You should be the one captured by an evil dragon, waiting for the prince to come and save you," Lu Li said in annoyance . When his sister was young, she often nagged him to tell her bedtime stories, so Lu Li was quite familiar with these .

"Never mind then . I honestly don’t understand why the dragons don’t eat the princesses, but instead lock them up in castles so someone can save them," Hachi Chan said .

When they arrived at the meet up point, they found that Laugh Into the Heavens had already been waiting there .

"Seems like the single eyed pirate didn’t go to the toilet . You’ve got the telescope, right?" Lu Li asked after briefly introducing Hachi Chan .

"I got it . " Laugh Into the Heavens nodded and was enlightened by Lu Li’s words . "So he’s a pirate – no wonder why he sold telescopes . If I report him to the general hall, would there be a bounty for him?"

"Pirates are bad people, right?" Hachi Chan said as she nodded her head quickly . "Let the policemen catch him . "

"That’s enough of the silly talk," Lu Li interrupted . "He’s a character that sells products that pirates loot . Players can buy goods that the system doesn’t sell . Why would you report him when he provides so many benefits? Even if you reported him, pirates would send out others to sell the items . It won’t be easy to find them again next time . "

"Such a small ship . Can we sail in this?" Laugh Into the Heavens watched as Lu Li placed the ship into the waters . This wasn’t as bad as a raft, but it was better to set sail with a big ship like the pirates .

"Take this . Llet’s go . " Lu Li tossed a bottle at him and pushed the ship into the water .

He didn’t know how to paddle in real life, but since this was a game, he only had to look like he was paddling . The ship moved in the direction of the paddle and the sail .

Laugh Into the Heavens looked at what Lu Li had tossed to him and was at a loss . It was an Underwater Breathing Potion . What was the point of this item? Even if you went into the water, the monsters nearby would instantly shred you into pieces .

It seemed as if Hachi Chan rarely went sailing – she was very happy and jumped around a lot .

She wasn’t the least concerned about the chances of the ship being sunk .

"We’re not going too deep into the ocean . What could possibly happen? Use your telescope to find the island; I’ll look after the directions of the ship," Lu Li instructed as he controlled the ship, trying not to steer too far away from the shore .

Although Lu Li was in a hurry to upgrade his ring, he had taken up a deal, so he had to search patiently .

The search ended after two hours of finding nothing .

"What are you two looking for?" No matter how interesting the quest sounded, it had lost its fun after two hours . Hachi Chan finally stopped jumping around .

"An island . " Lu Li hesitated for a bit then suggested that Laugh Into the Heavens t show the slip to Hachi Chan . After all, she was good at quest . Perhaps she could solve the situation .

Hachi Chan took the slip and looked at it for some time . It was rare to see so much concentration on her face . After some time, she pointed in a direction and said, "Try there . "

Lu Li and Laugh Into the Heavens followed her request .

Laugh Into the Heavens wasn’t too sure about trusting Hachi Chan – this little girl didn’t seem reliable at all . However, Lu Li nodded his head and pulled the sails, steering the ship towards the direction that Hachi Chan had pointed in .

The surface of the sea was filled with mist, which greatly impacted their vision . Even the telescope wasn’t of much use .

However, this wasn’t a quest that could wait until the weather was better .

Dawn’s quests had always been like this . If the quest wasn’t triggered, the Gnome princess could stay there for months and nothing would happen to her . However, once the quest was accepted and you arrived too late, the gorilla may have already cooked the princess .

Although they didn’t find anything at first, after half-an-hour, Laugh Into the Heavens jumped in excitement with the telescope in his hands . He pointed in a direction along the surface of the sea like a madman .

"Look, over there!"

Lu Li and Hachi Chan turned in the direction that he pointed but they saw nothing .

Without the telescope, there was only so much that they could see . The ship sailed for a little longer and the black outline of an island began to appear on the horizon .

They were located about three to four thousand yards away from the shore and the air was thick with moisture . Lu Li had passed by this location before, but they didn’t venture out far enough to see the island . Laugh Into the Heavens also wasn’t paying much attention .

"This is all me," Hachi Chan reminded after seeing that the two men were too busy being happy . They didn’t even bother to thank her .

"Yup, yup, yup, all you . I’ll buy you a lollipop when we get back," Lu Li replied without much care in his voice .

He thought that this was unfair . He had analyzed the situation again and again with Laugh Into the Heavens, looked around together for more than two hours and found nothing . Then, this little girl — a little girl who was dumb – only took half-an-hour to find it .

Laugh Into the Heavens was truly grateful to Hachi Chan; he almost thought that he was going to fail the quest .

He complimented her in different ways and promised her great things to finally satisfy her . Laugh Into the Heavens then looked at Lu Li and asked, "What now? Do we directly approach it?"

"Wait for a bit first . After we reach the shore, I’ll go and scout around . You can wait on the ship for a bit with Hachi Chan," Lu Li said as he began to slowly steer the ship towards the island .

There were some reefs around the island, but fortunately, their ship was quite small . Otherwise, it would have been difficult for them to approach the island .
