The Great Thief

From Lu Li’s memory, there were indeed three pieces of Legendary equipment.

No matter how difficult the mission, three pieces of Legendary equipment rewarded in one go would indicate a quest that had significant ramifications for Dawn’s storyline.

There was a difference between his memories and reality. Something must have happened in between for there to be five items.

In fact, Lu Li wasn’t wrong in his thinking.

Why were there five pieces? One aspect was due to his military rank. Initially, when Lu Li defeated the Blackrock Monster in Burning Steppes, Marshal Windsor saved hundreds of soldiers from the Alliance, which earned him his rank of Lieutenant. This was the lowest military rank. At first it felt like it wasn’t much use, but this military rank represented Lu Li’s success in being accepted by Stormwind City’s military HQ and aristocracy.

This had nothing to do with Charm. No matter how Charming Lu Li was, he was still an adventurer. Lieutenant officers were still considered as their own. This military ranking in itself was worth at least one Legendary equipment.

Another aspect was naturally due to Marshal Windsor. Bolvar Fordragon still felt guilty, and this guilt had been eating him up as Windsor had already passed away and he didn’t have any family left behind. His guilt had accumulated over time, but could not be dispelled.

As he struggled to find a way to resolve his guilt, Lu Li made his appearance. Lu Li was the Marshal’s friend, so Bolvar Fordragon naturally projected his guilt onto Lu Li.

Hence, there were five Legendary equips, which seemed absurd to Lu Li.

Yes, ridiculously absurd!

This type of absurdity was the good kind; Lu Li hoped it would happen more often.

Bolvar Fordragon gave Lu Li a detailed list of equipment in Stormwind City’s inventory. There were thousands of equipment, from low to high grades. Overall there wasn’t any equipment beyond level 60 – evidently, they had all been screened.

Lu Li only looked at the Legendary ones. No matter how good the attributes, you couldn’t beat Legendary equipment.

Altogether there were 40-50 Legendaries, Lu Li believed that this was only one part of Stormwind City’s inventory. There wasn’t going to be anything overpowered as the System uses AI to control the game balance.

Lu Li was not considered selfish, but he definitely was not someone who was selfless.

As such, he needed to first choose the equipment that he would use himself.

Thieves could use eight of these items, two of which belonged to Warrior Thief, so those could be eliminated first.

Of the remaining six pieces, two of were average and a lot worse than what Lu Li had now, so he wouldn’t choose them either.

Of the last of pieces, one of them was a level 60 Legendary Ring and worth plenty of money, but Lu Li didn’t really want it because it didn’t suit his battle style.

Quick Strike Ring (Legendary): Damage 64-82. Agility+120, Strength+80. Slot 2. Special Effect 1: When attacking a vital area, there is a certain chance of a Pierce effect. Special effect 2: When used, instantly hit the target three consecutive times in the same position. Cooldown 6 minutes. Special Effect 3: Shift Transposition. Instantly selects a target within 40 yards and swaps position with them. Cooldown 6 hours. Level Requirement: 60, Durability: 360/360.

This equipment was eliminated, along with a Dagger that was not as good as what he already had.

The last two pieces were a Cloak and a Bracer part that belonged to the T2 set.

Lu Li compared the two and decided on the Bracer, mainly because his original one didn’t suit his style.

Nightslayer Bracer (Fine Legendary): Damage 120. Agility+180, Strength+60. Slot 2. Attack Speed+10%. Special Effect 1: Cutting skill level +1. Special Effect 2: Certain chance of fearing the target when attacking. Special Effect 3: Repulse, casts a curse on the target, reducing their movement speed by 60% for 20 seconds. Cooldown 6 minutes. Level Requirement: 60, Durability: 250/250.

In principle, any level 60 Legendary equipment would be worthwhile.

However, this equipment really didn’t suit Lu Li. The first effect was average, while the second effect was based on chance. The trigger chance was rather small, and would be even less effective when fighting a Boss.

As for the last effect of Repulse, it might be a valuable thing to others, but Lu Li did not like this. It meant that he needed to chase after the target even if he had hit it. As such, this T2 equipment should be eliminated too.

With the four pieces of equipment left, Lu Li chose for people in his team separately. These people had followed him from the beginning so it was natural for him to prioritise them.

There was one piece for Lonesome Flower, one for Azure Sea Breeze, one for Moonlight, and the last would be given to March Rain.

There was not a piece for Water Fairy out of the five equipment, but not because he had a low EQ. He had already thought about this issue – he could send a piece of equipment over in the spirit of Drizzle Court and Peerless City’s participation in the battle. However, he decided against it since Water Fairy didn’t lack equipment.

After Lu Li finished choosing, the soldiers seemed to have successfully hung Onxyia’s head on the top of Stormwind City’s gates.

The System announced, “Congratulations to Lu Li in becoming the first player of Ruling Sword to complete the “Killing Onxyia” Bounty Quest. Guild Level+1. Guild members awarded the title of “Dragon Slayer”. Members of Stormwind City awarded Dragon Slayer’s Roar Status for 3 days.

“What happened? Why have I suddenly been given a Dragon Slayer’s Roar Status?” Blue Crystal asked.

“Don’t know; I have it too. Wait. Everyone in our small team has it too,” Heavenly Dumpling responded.

“Didn’t you see the world channel? Apparently, Lu Li handed in some mission, so everyone in Stormwind City has it. Heck this mission was completed so elegantly. I need to use the effect from these three days to level up to 60!” Flying King Kong exclaimed.

“Hey Foggy Grass, I’m at Steal Stove Castle and I want to die… How good is the status?” Empty Gum asked.

“Lu Li you’re amazing! Ruling Sword, you’re amazing! Come at me Moonlight!” Lunar Waltz shouted.

“Didn’t anyone realise? Stormwind City gathered so many people from Ruling Sword, Drizzle Court and Peerless City just within this moment. In my humble opinion, this is clearly a premeditated operation – Lu Li is such an evil spirit!” Old Master observed.

Unforgettable Maple added, “Haha Thank you! Thank you, Lu Li! Our guild just happens to be reshuffling at Stormwind City. We haven’t even had the time to go to the Instance Dungeon! We’ll shout you drinks next time!”

“Sister Maple must be Lu Li’s mistress, must be…must be…must be…” Red Rock muttered.

Dust Dragon angrily responded, “Lu Li bro, you’re not being fair man. You notify Majin Temple, Drizzle Court and Peerless City, but just not little guilds like ours. Clearly, you’re looking down on us, and not considering us as part of the Alliance. There’s so many of us in the Alliance; you’ve got to give us an explanation.”
