The Great Thief

Judgement Spear had been established. Everyone looked over.

Lu Li had also entered into this branch. He was like a living sign – he long as he was there, he would be on everyone’s lips.

Whoever said that branching off wasn’t a good idea wasn’t respected.

“Organise some activities or something. How often can we get everyone together like this?”

Wandering actually didn’t want to be the leader of this branch, but Lu Li eventually persuaded him. Now, Wandering had a taste of what it felt like to have all this chatter directed at him.

“Why not go fight some Headless Paladin Steeds?” Lu Li suggested.

When Ruling Sword was only just established, the first activity organized was going to fight Headless Paladin Steeds. It could be considered an anniversary event now.

“That’s not that interesting. I don’t even have any cooldowns left today,” Her Tears said.

He was also loaned from the head guild, spending some time at the branch guild then going back after everything was stabilized.

“If you don’t have cooldowns, it doesn’t mean others don’t. There are quite a few people who want to fight Headless Paladin Steeds.”

Lu Li really didn’t have much to say. To this kind of PVP fanatic, nothing was as exciting as killing other players. Wouldn’t these people be concerned that this long-term interest would turn into their personality?

“Then give us some killing related things to do,” Her Tears said quietly.

Recently, Ruling Sword’s reputation had gone through the roof. They almost didn’t have any power at this key moment to incite anything. People like Her Tears were quickly getting bored to death.

“How about this? Go and find someone called Chase You Hehe – he’s a Night Elf druid. I’m not sure exactly what level he’s at, but they might be from the Gangnam guild…” Lu Li said, thinking back a bit. At this time, this person should be entering the game.

“And after we find him?” Her Tears asked as he looked expectantly at Lu Li.

“Kill him,” Lu Li said.

“And after we kill him?”

There was clearly something wrong with Her Tears’ morals. The first thing he cared about wasn’t why Lu Li had to kill this person, but he was concerned with what to do after killing them. This was especially concerning since this guy was still part of a club.

“Keep killing,” Lu Li answered matter-of-factly. There was clearly something wrong with his morals here too.

Actually, it wasn’t that there was something wrong with Lu Li’s morals, but it was that he had no choice but to kill this person. He was even dying to kill this person in real life.

If his little sister didn’t get sick in his past life, which would grant Lu Li continued willpower and intellect in his character, then maybe he wouldn’t have entered the game one year later.

There were two turning points in his life. One was when his sister got sick, and the other was when he was tricked of everything he had in the game.

Because his sister was sick, he could do nothing else but to sell everything he had in the game.

Chase You Hehe just happened to look like a frank and generous buyer. He more or less entered the game at about the same time as Lu Li, about one year after it had been released. This person was incredibly wealthy. Lu Li’s first earnings were from a rare material dropped by an Elite monster that he sold to Chase You Hehe.

Chase You Hehe was relatively generous. At the time, it was selling on the market for 85 gold, but he bought it straight from Lu Li for 100 gold.

From then on, whenever Lu Li had anything good, he would tend to ask Chase You Hehe first. As long as it was something he wanted, Lu Li would sell it to him. As such, he didn’t waste time in selling things, and he could fetch a pretty good price for it.

Their way of doing trade was giving the cash first before the goods. Since Chase You Hehe always said that he didn’t have enough gold to use, they always used real money to complete the trade.

Chase You Hehe didn’t lack money. He had a disposable income of several million every month.

Lu Li sold all of his things for one million dollars, which was just enough to save his sister.

It was right at this time that Chase You Hehe trapped him.

Lu Li really did receive this payment, same as with all the countless trades before. However, when he went to the bank to cash-in, he realized that this account number actually didn’t contain this amount of money.

He reported this to the police, who determined that a virus had been planted on his phone in a sophisticated way. There was no evidence that Chase You Hehe had done this. Chase You Hehe definitely did transfer money into Lu Li’s account, but it had been robbed away somewhere along the way.

Aside from this, the game company never encouraged players to trade offline, and also didn’t take responsibility for things that happened offline.

The practically illiterate Lu Li simple couldn’t find a way to recover his losses.

Chase You Hehe also truly turned against and fell out with Lu Li. He was from the Gangnam Royals and he had close ties with some top people in the guild. By flexing a bit of his power, he could make Lu Li wish that he had never been born.

Why exactly this rich kid who simply didn’t care about money targeted him, Lu Li never found out.

Now, this thing wouldn’t happen again.

He would not experience this sort of hopelessness, and Chase You Hehe wouldn’t have a chance to rob him again.

So, how should he get rid of that sort of hostility etched in his memory? Perpahs someone would say that nothing like this could happen in this world, and it wouldn’t happen again in the future, so he should just forgive and forget all about it.

Damn all this forgive and forget stuff!

Her Tears called the PVP fanatics in the new guild, looking for anyone wherever he could.

Thousands, even tens of thousands of people all went hunting for one person and the results came very quickly. This person was just at the Scarlet Monastery levelling up with a Gangnam Royals Mage.

Even if the level 60 players were simply armed with a couple of watermelon cutting knives, they could still dispatch of him with no effort.

The Mage who was with him was scared to death.

If there weren’t many people, he could still fight back without hesitation. The thing was that the opponents came in dozens, fighting and clambering over each other, trying to kill off a level 30 sock-puppet. The whole scene was chaotic. The Mage anxiously acted as though he didn’t know who this Hehe guy was, trying to avoid his death.

Chase You Hehe was completely dumbstruck. He just couldn’t understand why he had been killed.

A mistake, there must be a mistake.

“Have they gone?” Chase You Hehe asked as he stood next to his corpse.

“They’ve gone, or it looks like it anyway. I heard a Paladin quietly say that they killed the wrong person. Hehe, bro, what do we do?” the mage asked for instructions. He had been sent here to bring Chase You Hehe to level. With this command from up above, it was clear that the one whom he brought was pretty important.

“The most important thing now is to level up. I have to get to level 60 first,” Catch You Hehe said with hatred.

After making sure that no one was there watching the corpse, Chase You Hehe respawned. He was going to go into an Instance Dungeon before he again saw a group of people rushing over. They either had increased movement speed or they had some sort of skill that let them appear in a flash. In any case, they were so quick that there wouldn’t be any time to react.

Poor Hehe, he had no idea why he would be killed like that.

“I definitely just saw them leave.”

The mage was really embarrassed. Unfortunately, it looked like he was taking his anger out on himself.

“Then you have a look now…” Catch You Hehe said, holding back his temper. He was always accustomed to keeping a smiling face since he was a child, so he never lost his temper easily.

“They’ve gone. It really looks like they’ve gone. That Paladin said that they think they killed the wrong person,” the Mage said as he carefully followed behind at a distance, despite being sure that the mob of people had left.
