The Legendary Thief Vol 5 Chapter 140

Chapter 140 (Should We Wipe Them Out?)

While we were eating, Xu Lin asked me, “Now that Blood Sky and Romantic World have been established, does Murong Shan Shan have any plans?”

“What plans could she have? Since she has already started a fight with Romantic World, she can only resort to recruiting more people. The situation doesn’t look optimistic.”

Lu Xue Han smiled and said, “Do you guys know who Romantic World get their Guild Creation Certificate?”

Xu Lin asked in surprise, “What? Do you know something about it?”

“Yes,” Lu Xue Han nodded and continued, “Romantic Master bought that Guild Creation Certificate from Release that Girl for 30 million RMB. His prestige was already enough, so he immediately established the guild. Coincidentally, Red Blood had also gotten enough prestige by that time, so both of them established the guild at the same time.”

I suddenly came to a realization, “No wonder. I previously thought that these two guys were wearing the same pants.”

Xin Yu covered her mouth while laughing, “Whether or not they’re wearing the same pants, that we don’t know. Anyway, now everyone thinks that you and Murong Shan Shan are wearing the same pants.”

“What do you mean?”

Lu Xue Han explained, “These two days, the people who teamed up with us had been asking us if you have already betrayed our family when you joined the Swords and Roses.”

I got a bit frustrated, “What kind of logic is that? What’s the relation between me being a member of the Green Veggies family with me joining other guilds? By the way, what people are you teaming up with for leveling?”

“A lot of people…” Xin Yu gave a grinning look.

Guo Zi also nodded and said, “Yes, the people who are in pursuit of Xin Yu have grown even more. That way, we could always find people to team up.”

“What? The people wooing Xin Yu?” I couldn’t help but call out loud in surprise.

Xin Yu seemed to be very satisfied seeing me behaving like that and chuckled, “That’s right, while you were accompanying Murong Shan Shan. There are several of them who are quite very handsome…”

I was startled, however, I smiled and said, “That’s good then. I was worried that our Xin Yu won’t find a suitor. It seems that I was worrying for nothing!”

Xin Yu’s face became cold, “If I belong to the family, then you should care more about me!”

I didn’t what’s best to say. However, Guo Zi added more oil to the fire and said, “Xin Yu, you shouldn’t waste the opportunity. Didn’t that handsome Swordsman called ‘Justice Defender’ say that his house in Shanghai has three rooms? You were indifferent toward him, but if it were me… hmm…”

Xin Yu unhappily said, “Don’t make waves, that idiot is only a second generation inheritor, what’s good about that? Besides, last time, Lin Fan gave each of us a bonus of five million, that should be more than enough for living. There won’t be a need to find someone like that. If I had to choose, I’d rather keep a gigolo.”

Guo Zi pouted and said unhappily, “The more money, the better…”

“You!” Xin Yu gritted her teeth, but didn’t say anything further. She seemed to be very unsatisfied with Guo Zi’s character.

I patted Xin Yu’s shoulder and smiled, “Take it easy. Xin Yu, what level are you guys at right now? Accompanied by Xue Han, the leveling should be quite fast.”

Xin Yu glanced at me, her mood seemed to be slightly better, “Both sister Lin and I are at level 40, Xue Han is already at level 42.”

“Oh, so fast?”

“c.r.a.p, when you were fighting together with Murong Shan Shan, all of us were training like crazy, and no one was interfering us, so how could it not be fast?”

“Looks like I also need to level again, otherwise, I won’t be able to keep my first position any longer.”

Xin Yu immediately said bitterly, “Who knows if Murong Shan Shan will let you leveling?”

I was speechless and couldn’t help but dig into my meal. Instead, Lu Xue Han said, “Did you all notice the system update?”

Xu Lin and Xin Yu both shook their heads, Lu Xue Han couldn’t help but sigh, “It seems that I’m soon going to become our intel officer. After the system updates, the penalty for players who dropped in level after getting PKed will be reduced. Someone who is maliciously getting PKed will only drop equipment and will only lose 25% of the current level’s Experience. Only when the Experience is less than 25% then he will lose one level, but the Experience will then be at 99%. However, if the one who’s doing the PK is killed, he will lose one level. If a person in red gets killed, he will lose 3 levels, 25% chance of dropping equipment, excluding G.o.d’s and Divine’s level artifacts.”

Xu Lin laughed, “Don’t talk about G.o.d or Divine artifacts. Until now, we haven’t even seen any orange equipment. I wonder when those Divine Artifacts would show up. G.o.d Artifacts… it’s probably only a myth.”

I agreed, “Yes, G.o.d Artifacts might be as rare as someone born by a virgin, virtually nonexistence!”

“Don’t talk like that, Xue Han is still here…” Xin Yu gave me an awkward look.

Lu Xue Han couldn’t help but smile, “Please, don’t treat me like a child.”

Xin Yu immediately added more insult to the injury, “So to say, can you understand the joke we’re talking?”

Lu Xue Han was quite helpless. She could only give Xin Yu a glance and didn’t say anything further. Xu Lin quickly smoothed the things over, “Okay, okay. Let’s eat. Aren’t you guys taking Lin Fan for shopping tomorrow? If you’re still so noisy outside, aren’t you afraid that people might joke on you?”

…

After Xu Lin’s word, everyone immediately quieted down and only the sounds of chopsticks. .h.i.tting the plate were heard for a while.

A while later, after everyone was almost done eating, I suddenly remembered the equipment in my inventory, so I said, “I’ve gotten more than a hundred pieces of equipment, there’s something for each of you. All of you come to Silvermoon Mountain’s valley. There are currently not many people there, only Murong Shan Shan and I are training there. There are many monsters and also quite concentrated. Together with Lu Xue Han, we can all leveling together.”

“Oh, equipment? What level?” Xin Yu’s eyes glowed, her long eyelashes moved up and down like a small brush, really breathtakingly beautiful.

“I picked them up while clearing the field after the battle with Romantic World. All of them are level 30 and above blue equipment. I certainly won’t keep an eye on any trash equipment!”

“Great, I’m going to collect the equipment!”

Guo Zi laughed. Next to her, Li Qing and Joly also seemed to be excited. Their equipment weren’t very good. After getting those high-level blue equipment, it would certainly be very helpful for them. After all, currently, most of the players were still equipped with green equipment. As for blue equipment, only rich people or experts would be able to get their hands on it.

“Okay, you should all quickly go to Silvermoon Mountain’s valley. Murong Shan Shan and I are in the depth of the forest, at that time, contact me!”

So we quickly finished the meal. Lu Xue Han didn’t even clean the dishes, instead, she hurriedly got back into the game.

After getting online, Murong Shan Shan hadn’t come back yet. It would take some time before Lu Xue Han, Xin Yu, and the others arrived. So I simply looked at the situation around.

Beyond the forest was a large empty field. The type of monsters had also changed from those forest grizzly bears into a kind of plain monsters – Prairie Elves. It was a level 46 monster. Their sizes weren’t big, and they had a bark-green skin. Their movement speed was slow, but had a very high Attack power. The way they attacked was also quite bizarre, using their branch-like arms to throw out stones, which they pulled out from who knows where.

I continuously killed off a couple of those Prairie Elves. Although the Experience gained was quite impressive, but the potions’ consumption was also big. Their attack’s frequency was too high. Without a Cleric who healed the party, it was quite impossible to stand them.

Not long after, Murong Shan Shan went online and sent me a text. I told her my coordinates, and a few minutes later, I could see her waving her Night Elf Sword coming out from the forest.

“So, what did you eat for dinner?”

“I ate something at KFC…”

I suddenly sweat, “Don’t eat junk food too much. Later, buy more food at the groceries. It shouldn’t take too much time to heat the food.”

Murong Shan Shan smiled sweetly, “I know. Don’t nag like a woman. Let’s start leveling!”

“No rush. Several members from my studio will soon arrive. I’ll let you see the leveling speed of a Cleric…”

“What Cleric leveling speed?” Murong Shan Shan gaped widely in surprise.

“You’ll know later!”

I didn’t want to explain since Lu Xue Han, Xin Yu, and the others would arrive soon in a few minutes.

Murong Shan Shan blinked her eyes and asked, “Green Veggies Temptation and Green Veggies Cocoa are both coming too?”

“Yes,” I nodded and continued, “Green Veggies Temptation is Xin Yu, Green Veggies Cocoa is Lu Xue Han, and that Green Veggies Flying Feather is my Boss – Xu Lin. As for the others, you will slowly get familiar with them, I’m not too close with them either.”

“Oh, you only focus on the best ones. The rest of them aren’t that pretty, so you have no interest in them?” Murong Shan Shan asked, smiling.

“No, it’s just that I can get along better with Xin Yu, Xu Lin, and Lu Xue Han.”

“Humph, do you think you can fool me easily?”

“…”

Right then, Xu Lin had brought the group of girls from the forest path and walked over. Xin Yu had already greeted me from far away. Xu Lin nodded friendly to Murong Shan Shan. According to her words, we should absolutely be kind and not ignoring toward someone who might become our allies.

Murong Shan Shan was also very courteous and let out a very sweet smile, letting Xu Lin stared in awe.

Xin Yu quickly came over, looked straight at Murong Shan Shan and said, “Hi, I’m Xin Yu. How do you do?”

“How do you do…” Murong Shan Shan was somewhat cramped.

s.h.i.t, I could actually somehow smell a trace of gunpowder in the air!

Xu Lin sharply sensed the possibility of the situation turning bad and immediately said, “Okay, let’s form a party and start training.”

Murong Shan Shan immediately opened the party function and added us one by one to the party. Although Xin Yu was somewhat dissatisfied with Murong Shan Shan becoming the leader, but she just had to endure silently for the greater good.

“Right, what about our equipment?” Lu Xue Han walked over and asked me, grinning.

I glanced at her unhappily. If I remembered correctly, she should already have three pieces of purple equipment. It wouldn’t make too much a difference whether or not she changed these blue equipment.

Xin Yu and the other girls also quickly surrounded me. I had no choice but to share the content of my inventory in the party channel and let everyone pick by themselves. For a moment, all kind of noises were heard.

“Wow, a blue shield with 120 of Defense. I want this. No one is allowed to grab it!”

“Boots with 30 points of Agility. Xin Yu, this one you let me have it!”

“Hey, there’s a purple ring. Lin Fan, didn’t you say they’re all blue equipment?”

“Idiot, that’s mine, don’t touch it!”

…

Murong Shan Shan was quite speechless. She tugged my arm from behind and whispered, “How come I feel like they are the j.a.panese raiding a small village?”

“Get used to it…”

“…”

After finishing distributing the loot, we finally began today’s training journey. As everyone agreed, Murong Shan Shan and I would act as the meat shield and try to lure the monster crowd. Afterward, Lu Xue Han would release high-intensity fire from a distance. The Prairie Elves that originally were of wood attributes so they were burnt very fast with this type of fire. The level 46 monsters with nearly 5,000 points of Health would be dead in about a minute under the fire, leaving a pile of silver coins.

Normally, it was Xin Yu’s task to lure the monsters. With me and Murong Shan Shan acting as the lure now, she became quite idle. Thereupon, she would happily pick up the coins and equipment from the fire.

Xu Lin wasn’t idle either. She constantly threw fireb.a.l.l.s to kill those already low-health monsters. It was said that whenever you killed a monster with a level higher than yours, there would be a chance to gain one or two points of Prestige. That was why Lu Xue Han’s Prestige was already close to 10,000 points. She didn’t need to especially kill monsters like Murong Shan Shan and I did.

Thereupon, the situation at the Silvermoon Plain began to liven up. The nine-person team of us caused a great stir in this prairie. The monsters on the large area of the map had been led toward Lu Xue Han by Murong Shan Shan and me. Everyone’s Experience also soared up quickly. In just a short time of two hours, Guo Zi, Joly, Li Qing, and Liu Yun had already risen up a level, surpa.s.sing the level 36. Now, they could really be considered high-level players.

I opened my own properties panel to take a look. Without me realizing it, my Experience had actually been close to 90% already. It seemed that tonight I would be able to reach level 44. Hold on! 44 would be too ominous. It would be better to get offline when I reached 99% and wait until tomorrow to rise to level 44 and then continue to level 45! (TL Note: Many Chinese people tend to avoid the number 4 because the sound of it is similar to the sound of the character ‘Death’ if you change the intonation.)

As I was pondering, suddenly, Guo Zi shouted loudly in the party channel, “Look, on the north side from us, there are actually other people leveling. It seemed their number isn’t small either…”

Murong Shan Shan slashed her sword to kill the last monster and then looked over. Sure enough, in a place not too far away from us, there really was a party with a lot of people that were training level.

“They aren’t from our guild,” I said after taking a look.

Murong Shan Shan leaned to me and asked, “Should we wipe them out?”

I gave her a stern look, “You rascal, are you treating us the same type as Mad Warrior?”

Murong Shan Shan immediately let out an innocent expression, letting me become helpless.

At this moment, that group of people slowly moved closer toward us.

What were they intending to do?
