The Great Thief - Chapter 940

Chapter 940
After Lu Li hung up, Square Root Three called him again and told him to go to Hyacinth Bar .


The name of the bar made it obvious that it run ran by a player . It was located in the Ironforge and Lu Li rarely stepped foot there .
Ironforge was the main city of the Dwarves and Gnomes, built upon the snowy mountain of Don Morough in the center of the surrounding mountain ranges . It housed an ancient race of strange Dwarves and friendly Gnomes .
Countless blacksmiths, adventurers, miners and warriors gathered here .
While it wasn't quite as busy as Stormwind, it wasn't as quiet as Darnassus . Many players enjoyed the banging sounds of the iron, the sweet Dwarven fine wine and the picturesque snowy scenery .
Elves would rarely appear in a town like this because they disliked the environment .
Lu Li didn't particularly enjoy being here either; he would much rather be drowned in the busy crowds of Stormwind .
Hyacinth Bar was located between two blacksmiths which was considered quite a good location . There were countless blacksmiths in Ironforge, but very few would offer their services to players as most of them were NPCs working for the Alliance Army .
When he entered, he saw a crowd of short people in the bar .
There were more Gnomes than Dwarves and barely any Humans, Elves or Draenei .
Square Root Three led Lu Li to a Gnome, more specifically, a female Gnome . She wasn't exactly attractive, but she was quite cute . Female Gnomes were considered cutest class in the game and most of the players who chose this class were creepy middle-aged men who were obsessed with lolis .
If a little girl held onto your legs, called you older brother and begged you to train with her, most people would happily agree .


However, the Gnomish race were not to be underestimated .
The No . 17 ranked guild on the Guild Rankings called "Jump to Hit Your Knees" was a Gnome/Dwarf exclusive guild . This guild was newly established and had only been in the gaming scene for around two years . In every game
that they played, they would always choose races that were shorter than others, despite any advantage or disadvantages .
It was difficult for a guild to thrive if they had so little variety as their versatility and flexibility would be much lower than the other guilds . The fact that they reached the No . 17 rank said a lot about their individual skills and team work .
As most of the players from this guild were from Ironforge, in Dawn, they would refer themselves as "The Ironforge . "
There were perhaps less than a million people in Ironforge, but most of them were solo players or minor guilds that could never compete with Jump to Hit Your Knees .
Lu Li nodded at the female Gnome and ordered a rye wine .
"That's her – she has a stone that can decrease equipment level by 20%, but she won't sell it and I've tried everything to persuade her . You can go and have a try," Square Root Three said with a shrug .
"If you want this stone, then I want you to kill someone for me . "

The Gnome's voice was very sweet, but the words that came out of her mouth were very conflicting .

"If it's possible, I'd much rather buy it off you for a high price," Lu Li said, not wanting to waste his time .
From his past experiences, he would much rather solve problems with money .
"No, I don't need money," the Gnome refused .
Lu Li knew that she was a hard one to crack and so he decided to accept her offer and said, "Fine, we accept . Who do you want us to kill and how many times do you want us to kill them?"
Killing someone wasn't as simple as it sounds .
"Drunken Heart from Ironforge . He…"
The Gnome's expressions were filled with worry; she stared into Lu Li's eyes as the rest of his face was hidden behind her mask .
The rest of the story explained why she wanted Drunken Heart to be killed and how much he deserved to die .
It was quite simple – Drunken Heart was attracted to the Gnome's older sister and began chasing after her .
However, unlike in Korean dramas where the handsome thug chased after the main actress, the Gnome's older sister did not reciprocate his interests . Drunken Heart became frustrated and angry, so he began sending people out to harass her while she was playing . Eventually, she decided to quit .
"Drunken Heart…"
She was expecting Lu Li to have an expression of fear, but all he did was repeat the name and nodded to show that he accepted .
"It's Drunken Heart," the Gnome repeated again .
"I know him – he's in charge of the Warrior squad in Jump to Hit Your Knees . Level 47 Warrior tank that likes to use a one-handed hammer and shield . He's a primary tank and secondary DPS, right?" Lu Li said calmly .
"You're not scared of him?" The little Gnome thought she was dreaming .
Drunken Heart was one of the top members of Jump to Hit Your Knees; his level was high and he had powerful equips . Wherever he walked, he would always be escorted by ten players .
Jump to Hit Your Knees were the most powerful guild in Ironforge and would often abuse their powers to do whatever they wanted . As such, they had offended quite a number of people in the city . There were probably a lot of people that wanted revenge on Drunken Heart, but no one had the power or resources to take him down .
Lu Li decided to contact someone that he hadn't talked to for a long time .
"Blacky, you there?"
"Brother Li . It's been a while . " Blacky's voice sounded pleasantly surprised .
Blacky and Buggy were all old friends of Lu Li's in real life . When Buggy was in trouble, Blacky sought out Lu Li for assistance . Lu Li had bought them gaming helmets so that they could play the game with him .
When they heard that Lu Li was making a name for himself playing as a Thief, they all decided to choose the same class .
Thieves weren't as popular in dungeons and unless they recruited a party of their own, others usually wouldn't invite them .
Under Lu Li's guidance, they entered the Grim Reaper faction, which consisted of mainly Thieves . The difference between Ravenholdt Manor and Grim Reaper was that they were a more underground assassination association .
Many people know them as mercenaries that specialized in assassinating people .
After they joined, they stopped attempting dungeons and began focusing on levelling up and accepting hitman missions for money and rewards .
Besides Lu Li and Square Root Three in Ruling Sword, no one else knew about their existence .
"Do you know Drunken Heart from Ironforge?" Lu Li asked, getting straight to the point . He didn't really like to catch up with old friends . This was just giving them an opportunity to repay him back .
Gang members heavily emphasized loyalty and they would do anything to return a favor from a past friend .
"I know him – a defensive warrior . He's extremely arrogant; did he offend you in any way?" Blacky was always good at gathering information .
"Not me, but I need you guys to kill him and send me the recordings of you doing so," Lu Li said .
