The Great Thief

Both of them weren’t dead yet, so the matchmaker wouldn’t disappear.

“I’ll go back and pick up some equipment. I think we’ll still need you to help in that department, because it’s not that easy to find Life-stealing Leather Armor. The quality can’t be too bad either.”

Lu Li took a moment to rest and reorganized himself, planning to keep Water Fairy here before he went to find equipment.

Square Root 3 had been busy recently, so his contact was White Bread.

White Bread had quite a bit on her plate too. It was just that now, it was her turn to take a holiday, and she had already returned back home now. Even so, she had to make sure she was online for a certain amount of time every day.

“Leather Armor with Life-steal…does it have to be level 70? If so, there’s nothing really that stands out. I’ll see if I can get a set together,” White Bread reported.

The last few days were a free-for-all period in Karazhan.

Regardless of whether they were clubs, ordinary guilds or unaffiliated players, as long as they could assemble together some blue and green equipment, they all flooded into Karazhan. Even if they were at a complete loss when it came to Nightmare Boss, that didn’t stop them from being able to try it out on Heroic Difficulty. Of course, there was Normal Difficulty, which didn’t need to be brought up.

On Normal Difficulty in Karazhan, there was very little chance of even dropping Dark Gold equipment.

There was a small chance of dropping Epic equipment on Heroic difficulty, but Dark Gold and Gold items would be dropped at a normal rate. However, on Nightmare Difficulty, Epic equipment would definitely be dropped, although not from every Boss.

The storehouse didn’t have much equipment accumulated. After all, everyone didn’t even have completed sets of equipment, so how could they have extra equipment that they could throw in the storehouse? White Bread had to call up club members on short notice, asking if those who had Life-stealing Leather Armor on them could offer it up for the boss to use it first.

Although people didn’t usually care about Lu Li, when it really came down to it, they supported him as a leader.

Very soon, three pieces of Life-steal equipment were collected – two Dark Gold and one Epic.

This still was far from enough. They needed to have enough Life-steal sustain themselves through the fight, and they needed equipment for two people.

At about the same time, those from Peerless City sent 11 pieces of Life-steal equipment over, and not a single piece was the same item either.

This made Lu Li relax a little; his girlfriend was too powerful.

So much for being equal – she had constantly been bearing their burdens for a long time.

Going back to the Instance Dungeon, the two of them divided up the equipment among themselves.

Life-steal couldn’t be stacked up without limit. Otherwise, if you wore a whole suit of Life-steal equipment to the arena, it wouldn’t take any effort to win.

They started the battle with the matchmaker again. They weren’t in such a difficult position as they were the first time, and since Lu Li’s partner was more educated than himself, he gave her the authority to command. Whatever his partner wanted him to attack, he would attack. However she wanted him to attack, he would attack in that way.

Someone was already well on the path to living off his wife.

It didn’t need to be said that Life-steal equipment was powerful. The two Thieves took turns to resist the Boss. Combined with the massive adaptability that Thieves had by default, the matchmaker was at a loss for what to do.

The only thing that stopped it from being perfect was that the battle time had dragged on for too long.

It was only after spending two hours that they had finally ground the Boss to death. All the Chinese Valentine’s Day’s events were about to end.

“Quickly loot the equipment. Then, we’ll go exchange gift boxes,” Lu Li urged. He didn’t bring up that he himself wanted to loot it. If he found anything noteworthy, it wouldn’t be due to his hard work, and if it wasn’t valuable, he would definitely be complained about. Even if Water Fairy didn’t say anything, just by seeing the strong hidden bitterness in her eyes, Lu Li felt he was the most evil person on the planet.

The red love wires had to be exchanged on the day itself, otherwise, they would have to wait till next year.

However, the gift boxes could be opened on any other day.

The boxes couldn’t be sold, nor could the things inside, but they could be exchanged between the couple.

If a couple in the game split up, then all their equipment, tools, mounts, and everything that they earned in the couples’ events would all be gone. It was evident how resistant the game designers were to the idea of splitting up. However, if the split-up couple got together again, everything disappeared would all come back again.

According to the game’s definition, love was something that could be recovered.

“12 red love wires for a…Chinese bridal chair? What does this mean?” Water Fairy was shocked.

“It’s good – the two hours were worth it.” On the contrary, Lu Li was very happy.

The bridal chair was the mount that the matchmaker dropped. The rate of the drop was in theory, miniscule. In all the events of Chinese Valentine’s Day, there wouldn’t be more than 10 dropped.

There were quite a few ways to play around with the bridal chair.

One was that the husband could lift up the wife. The girl would use it first, and after using it, she would sit inside. After that, the guy would use the mount. At this time, he would split into four identical chair carriers.

Another way was to have the wife carry the husband, which was basically the same with the roles reversed.

Another way of using it was to get married.

The bridal chair was the most popular marriage tool in Dawn. After it was used, the chair would be surrounded by flying flowers.

This bridal chair tool could only be used by the couple together, but it could be lent out. If someone else wanted to use it, they could find someone who had one to borrow it from. The borrowing time was limited to one day, and the owner had the right to take it back whenever they wanted.

Lu Li’s impression was that to rent a bridal chair for a day would cost at least over 100,000 dollars, which was why it was a valuable drop.

The chances of encountering two Bosses and finding two mounts were ridiculous.

Could it be that his own girl would suddenly turn into that lucky red hunter?

Actually, Lu Li had made a slight mistake in his thinking. The chance of mounts being dropped on Valentine’s Day wasn’t small. The reason he didn’t see many of them was because most couples couldn’t defeat the Boss when they saw one.

Not all couples were as valiant and fierce as they were.

The game encouraged top players to be couples. These players set a very clear example of power, and they were even more effective than having to hire celebrities for endorsements. That was why when the game officials watched over and encouraged Water Fairy and Lu Li to be a couple, they promised them lots of valuable stuff.

However, top players were focused on the competition and Instance Dungeons. They simply didn’t bother with the relationship system.

Wasn’t the game fun enough? What was the point of finding a girlfriend to boss you around?
