The Great Thief Chapter 1276 – Sneakily

Chapter 1276: Sneakily

In trying to discover the second poison, Lu Li continued using the Dragon Claw Grass but chose a higher level herb for its complement. Unfortunately, the process failed in the last moment.

Trial and error didn’t seem to be particularly reliable. It seemed that the best way to learn about poisons was to read the books that Garona had given him, rather than to blindly try his luck. His first success could now be clearly attributed to sheer chance.

With a pile of books, Lu Li left the castle.

He was going to find a team of Mages to farm for him before finding a place to sit down and read. This wasn’t unusual in Dawn; there were some people who would scan documents to read in-game.

For example, an accountant could write his report and a network administrator could have his notes next to him. Even Sorrowless could handle his guild’s affairs while letting a group of Mages farm for him.

Because of this, there were many professional players that specialized in doing this.

There were a few star players that did this, but many would just train, farm and sell equipment.

However, Lu Li had to see Water Fairy first. It had cost her quite a bit of time and effort for this last quest. Although any Thief could have done what she did, he really would end up a bachelor for life if he kept on thinking like that.

Lu Li thought that Garona would summon Water Fairy, but she didn’t.

However, Garona still gave Water Fairy a reward through Lu Li. The first was the ‘Dawn of All Beings’ Pocket Watch and the book that strengthened the Gouge skill.

Enhanced Gouge was quite a valuable reward. They had just completed a quest that took one day, and they didn’t have to die hundreds of times. Gouge was a very important skill in a Thief’s repertoire, so it would have been worthwhile to receive this Skill Book regardless.

Presumably, Water Fairy would be very satisfied.

The more troublesome thing was the Dawn of All Beings Pocket Watch, as Lu Li was more hesitant to give it to Water Fairy.

He might have had a lower EQ, which was likely brought on by the environment that he was raised in, but he wasn’t an idiot. He knew exactly what people would think if both of them wore an accessory like this.

Previously, when they said that they were dating, he could explain that they were just in a cooperative relationship. However, after wearing this pair of pocket watches, that explanation wouldn’t cut it anymore.

The common thing was to say that this pocket watch would make doing quests together in future more convenient…

In general, boys that were chasing a girl would use this excuse. If the girl refused, that would

mean that she knew about this strategy, but if she accepted, then the boy would have succeeded. Regardless of whether this girl had feelings for him, there would be a great opportunity.

Although he didn’t mind getting involved, Lu Li wasn’t a particularly sensitive person.

He contacted Water Fairy directly and met at the Hyacinth Tavern in Stormwind city. This location had been recommended by Square Root 3 as it was very quiet and suitable for talking when they didn’t want to be disturbed.

Most of the players’ taverns had their own style, otherwise, it was impossible to compete with the System’s taverns.

When Lu Li walked in, he found that the environment of the tavern was very warm and welcoming – it felt more like a café. However, Lu Li wasn’t sure as he had never stepped into a café in his life.

In terms of colour, there was more white and orange, which were Lu Xin’s favourite colours.

If Lu Li was alone, he might have turned around and left, but Water Fairy was a girl, so she might enjoy it.

“How many?”

The hosts were obviously not NPCs; you could tell that they were players right away.

“Two,” Lu Li answered as he touched the mask the hid his face. In addition to this cloak, it was impossible for anyone to recognize him.

“Please come with me,” the waiter said as he smiled politely. He didn’t ask Lu Li to remove the mask or his weapons. Although most people liked wearing casual clothing when they were here, there was actually a smaller selection of casual clothes and only the rich could afford them.

Equipment that hid one’s identity was usually worn by celebrities or a woman that was in hiding.

In order to keep it professional, the waiter didn’t pry into the identity of the guests and took Lu Li to a small booth.

It looked like a small enclosed booth, but it was not completely sealed. The designer had cleverly separated this small area into a private location so it wouldn’t be easy for someone from the outside to intrude on these guests.

There was a transparent fish tank on the table with two, small, lightly-colored fish inside. It was amazing that when the two fish met, their mouths would lock into place. They were like lovers kissing and would not separate for a long time.

Lu Li felt like he had been tricked again.

This was definitely not just some ‘quiet place suitable for talking about things’. Square Root 3 had definitely tricked him.

Unfortunately, he had already sent out the information and Lu Li heard the voice of the waiter outside. He was obviously leading Water Fairy here, so it was too late to leave.

Moreover, it was just two fish. This wasn’t obviously a tavern for couples, so Lu Li tried to calm down.

Water Fairy had also completely covered herself, but she wasn’t covered in equipment. Instead, she had a long light blue dress which showed off her charming figure, along with a small white veil on her face which had a flower on it. She looked quite lovely.

When the waiter saw these two players who had hidden their identities, he immediately started thinking about who they could be.

He couldn’t see anything on Lu Li’s body, because Lu Li appeared quite calm. Although he couldn’t see his person, the equipment that was on his body didn’t seem ordinary. The waiter had once received a special item from a quest that allowed him to see some insignificant information about a player that was within 10 levels of him. However, he was told that Lu Li had exceeded this limit.

He was currently level 48, which meant that Lu Li was a master at level 59.

At present, the highest level reached on the rankings was level 59. Although there were already hundreds of players who had reached level 59, there were tens of millions of people in the Huaxia District. Being in the top 100 was definitely a significant achievement.

He was a super master!

When he looked at Water Fairy again, more information about her was clear.

This kind of fashion was something that only a master NPC Tailor could produce in Stormwind City. Moreover, this NPC only sold a limited stock each week, so there were many copies of those items in the game.

Water Fairy’s temperament seemed quite refined, and even the Waiter couldn’t seem to take his eyes off her.
