The Great Thief

“Snowy, careful of the people on your left. When I increase your movement speed, you should sprint straight away,” Lu Li said from the sky.

“Didn’t you say not to sprint too fast at the start?”

The tactic they discussed beforehand didn’t seem to be like this. Water Fairy’s character tended to be more independent; she definitely needed to know why. Even if she looked submissive, she definitely wasn’t one to stupidly follow the guy along.

“No time to explain, just get on the ram,” Lu Li urged as the gun was fired. Without hesitation, Water Fairy got on the ram and rushed out.

One moment, he was rubbing shoulders with her and the next she was gone. The person on her left wasn’t going forward, but was tilting towards Water Fairy. It was only because of Water Fairy suddenly increasing her speed that he lost his target. He could only watch helplessly as she rushed ahead.

Others didn’t have this sort of luck that Water Fairy had. Their rams had been struck from every direction.

At this, there was a confused war going on in the group, but they couldn’t use skills to fight. They could only control the rams to bump into each other.

Those with the restraining ropes down in the darkness were happy like this. Everyone had a lot of fun.

Those who were more clever immediately realised what these people were doing. They immediately controlled their rams to try and avoid these people, running straight ahead. However, the people at the rear persisted in bothering them, which greatly affected the speed of those at the front.

Only about a dozen people escaped unscathed.

Water Fairy was one of them. She was originally one of the targets of those restraining ropes, but Lu Li had commanded her to hide from that disaster.

There was someone behind Water Fairy trying to stop her, but they had been flung away behind her. Lu Li commanded Water Fairy again to change lanes twice. Very soon, there were two people between Water Fairy and the restraining rope. There was no way to impede her in such a short amount of time.

“What happened? Is there someone causing trouble?”

Water Fairy should have been able to realise what was going on even if she wasn’t so intelligent.

“Yeah, I couldn’t confirm who benefited in the end. I only have a suspect target,” Lu Li said as he observed from above, trying to look for as many clues as he could. After all, no less than a dozen people could have benefited.

“Capital Beauty?” Water Fairy guessed.

“Yeah, I think it’s probably her,” Lu Li agreed. He had previously seen two restraining ropes next to her, but she hadn’t been targeted by them.

“Hehe, she’s really asking for it,” Water Fairy said coldly.

The Female Tycoon was feeling a little annoyed at this point. How dare these people mess with her?!

Water Fairy was never one to repay evil with kindness.

Almost the entire gaming circle knew that if you crossed Water Fairy in the arena, then it would be a nightmare for you off the arena,.

When Water Fairy had just entered the gaming circle, she was a beautiful girl that even the blind recognized. Because of this, there were often people annoying her, but they were harshly dealt with in the arena. This gradually led to the Female Tycoon becoming infamous for being not someone to mess with.

This so-called Capital Beauty, who everyone was originally crowding around, was likely the principle offender.

He wouldn’t be one to sympathise with this sort of people. Even if Water Fairy didn’t do anything, Lu Li himself would still think about exacting revenge on her guild.

HE and Water Fairy had similar personalities – they were not people you would like to mess with. It was just that their methods were different. Water Fairy was more direct. She would probably go back and directly declare war on this club. If a major guild like Drizzle Court declared war on them, it would probably scare them out of their wits.

It was savage tactic; you could even call it rude and unreasonable.

However, Lu Li would probably be a bit more low key about it. For example, he could fabricate some evidence and give it to Glory Capital to confirm that this mid-sized guild was linked to the Longspear Valley war. Lu Li always had a way to make something that looked suspicious t into something that was completely undoubtable.

Glory Capital would take the bait. They would question closely and investigate, but in any case, they certainly wouldn’t make life easy for this mid-sized guild.

Actually, this guild would rather face Glory Capital, rather than just closing their eyes and letting the Female Tycoon trample over them. After all, the Female Tycoon didn’t even let them off on this ram race.

Very soon, Lu Li confirmed that Capital Beauty was up to no good.

After the first apple crate came out, the first dozen people at the front appeared again with restraining ropes. They were up to their old tricks again, still trying to annoy the players by snatching their apples.

Lu Li really didn’t understand how these people thought. If they really wanted to let Capital Beauty take first place, couldn’t they just use themselves as cannon fodder? Why did they have to oppress others?

“What do we do?” Water Fairy asked.

“Give up this apple and change onto the left road. Your opponent in front of you to your left farmed a new apple crate. Your fatigue bar isn’t full yet, right? Rush right at it at full speed – after all, when you eat an apple your fatigue bar will reset,” Lu Li said.

Since there was now a better option, there was no need to compete with Capital Beauty. What was more, Lu Li believed that Water Fairy would be faster than Capital Beauty. After all, her manoeuvres were simply not as agile as Water Fairy’s.

“Go block up that girl at the front,” Capital Beauty commanded in a gruff voice. On top of the fact that her appearance was above average at best, she had to be incredibly thick-skinned to call herself Capital Beauty.

These people were probably from Capital Beauty’s guild. As soon as they heard her command, they rushed over without saying another word.

It was a shame that Water Fairy was already too far in the lead. Rushing forward at full speed towards the apple crate, her soon-to-be-full fatigue bar was immediately cleared. The people at the back were left behind in her tracks. The only one who could stop her from getting to the end was that one who had gotten the apple crate, Capital Beauty.

Water Fairy grunted coldly as she steered her ram into Capital Beauty.

The Female Tycoon was really like how her colleagues described her – always seeking revenge, even for the small things.

In men’s hearts, beautiful girls who were kind, considerate, cute and clever were more popular.

Capital Beauty probably was a noob. At the least, she had no way of competing with professional-level players. Upon seeing Water Fairy crash into her, she let out a strange cry and covered her head. She was actually leading Water Fairy by a fraction. All that was needed was to avoid this hit and zoom forward towards the end.

Without her players driving her on, the ram’s speed would slowly decrease by itself.

So what other bit of suspense was there about the result?
