The Great Thief

Chapter 1757 - Shameless Leader


Chapter 1757: Shameless Leader

If they couldn’t gain any points in the arena, then Sakura Straw had even less of a chance in the group stage. This didn’t mean that Sakura Straw wasn’t as good as Grand Hegemony. The fact was that members of Sakura Straw had over 100 years of history. Just being able to survive for so long was a miracle.

This Shadow Cup, Ruling Sword looked like they cheated. They never encountered an opponent of equal strength. Even the audience became angry and began to demand a ticket refund.

“We came to watch a competition filled with excitement and uncertainty, not this sort of brutal killing with no suspense!”

After spending a little over 3 weeks, Ruling Sword finished up with the Harvester, taking a bit longer than expected. This couldn’t be helped. After every cooldown reset, they’d have to fight from the beginning again. Even if they didn’t go and fight Bosses from other zones, they had to defeat the instructor in the Death Knight zone yet again.

But then again, they couldn’t pass up the other zones. Even if the First Clear had been taken, every Boss would still contribute two or three pieces of Epic equipment.

While Lu Li was strategizing against the Harvester, he was alternating with killing the previous Boss. Occasionally, he would also have to lead the competition team, which was why they took so many days to finish off the Harvester.

The Harvester deserved to be called the Harvester as he gave 2 Skills Points. Even though these Skills Points weren’t taken by Lu Li, he was still satisfied with this result. The stones were average and there was no Enhanced Skill Book. They could only rest their hopes on the equipment.

Sadist’s Collar was a necklace for physical roles. Its attributes were decent and it was modelled exquisitely. When worn on a female player’s neck, it would definitely add at least a point to their physical attractiveness, and if a male player wore it, it would even be enough to attract other male players.

“This equipment is really suitable for Thieves,” Lu Li said.

“Damn, what the hell?”

“What’s he on about?”

“Damn, the boss wants to cheat us of the equipment.”

“We’re done for, the club’s done for. What sort of leader can wear this and lead us?”

“We’ve gotta abandon him! Choose me! Hey, choose me as the leader! Who says I can’t lead? At least I’m prettier than him.”

“Haha, if you’re talkin’ about looks…”

Everyone was talking in whispers.

As time passed, the dark side of Lu Li’s growth had been watered down a lot. Especially with all these girls jumping around him all the time, his personality had changed a bit too.

Days like this when they were joking around were actually great.

“*Cough*, time to start bidding. Thieves can start bidding,” Lu Li announced, not hearing all these whispers around him at all.

“50 points.”

The one who bid first was Water Fairy. The necklace she had to begin with didn’t have great qualities. However, the main thing was that it wasn’t as elegant as this one.

“Anyone else bidding? No one’s bidding? If no one’s bidding, this necklace is Water Fairy’s. Congrats,” Lu Li said speedily, not even counting down from three as he usually did. The equipment was passed over to Water Fairy’s hands.

The few Thieves looked at each other with blank faces, gripping their weapons tightly in their hands.

Damn, he had just stolen away the item, and there was even a public display of affection. It was just too much to bear.

“Thanks everyone. When the game’s over today let me treat you to dinner. You can all choose the place.”

Water Fairy smiled very happily. It wasn’t just the equipment, but there were also Lu Li’s thoughts for her. Before, she had taken a few pieces of equipment in a row, so she didn’t have much DKP. If someone fought her for it, she really wouldn’t be able to compete.

As for bidding for equipment for someone else, this was already clearly prohibited.

The equipment you were bidding for had to be most suited for you. Otherwise, the leader had the authority to simply disallow you from bidding, and the points you bid would just be taken, just like that.

The first piece of Epic equipment that the Boss gave had average attributes and wasn’t particularly amazing. The main thing was that the design was too feminine, but all the Thieves there were male.

Glacial Headdress was a piece of headgear. It looked like a crown and was of great quality. Moreover, it provided Ice resistance.

Soul Harvester was a Thief’s Leather Armor. This was truly a piece of equipment just for Thieves, otherwise, it wouldn’t add one point to the Shadow Cloak skill.

Soul Harvester (Epic): Armour 180, Agility +120, Strength +100, Defence +80, 2 Slots, Special Effect 1: Shadow Cloak +1. Special Effect 2: When the wearer incurs damage, there is a 20% chance that 50% of the damage will be reflected back onto the opponent, and 8% of the wearer’s HP will be recovered. Special Effect 3: Soul Harvest. For every death of an enemy fighting against a teammate, the wearer gains a layer of protection that can absorb 60 damage. Maximum of 60 layers. Effective for 24 hours. Level Requirement: 60, Durability 365/365.

This really was an excellent piece of Thief clothing, better than what Lu Li wore.

Nightslayer Chestpiece (Epic): Armour 150, Agility +100, Defence +80, 2 Slots, Special Effect 1: After wearing this equipment, armor is increased by 10%. Special Effect 2: After use, the wearer’s damage is reduced by 40, and teammates within 30 yards enjoy half of this damage reduction effect. Cooldown time of 60 seconds, Special Effect 3: Remulos’ Protection. Natural spells cast with this equipment will have magic embedded. When the wearer’s HP reaches 20%, they will gain a shield, which will stop the wearer from incurring total damage that goes above 50% of the wearer’s total HP. Cooldown time of 60 seconds. Level Requirement: 60, Durability 300/300.

Armor tended to provide some damage reduction or defense, and this Soul Harvester was no exception. A 3600-damage shield made it a very satisfactory piece of defensive equipment.

There were other shileds which had more than 3600HP, Dawn was a balanced game. A 5000 HP shield would have weaknesses in other areas. The Nightslayer Chestpiece provided a 50% HP shield, so if Azure Sea Breeze used it, he could gain 5000 HP, but Lu Li would only have an extra 2000 or so.

What Lu Li valued most was the second Special Effect, or in other words, he thought it was where this piece of equipment really shone.

It was common to be critically hit in the arena, especially against Magic roles. However, when the wearer received critical hit damage, there was a 20% chance that 50% of the damage would be reflected back to the opponent, and it would also let the wearer recover 8% of their HP. It could attack the opponent and heal oneself – there was nothing better.

Moreover, a 20% chance wasn’t low. For someone like Lu Li who wasn’t so lucky, he thought that this was rather reasonable.
