The Great Thief Chapter 1592 - We’ll Take It No Matter What

Chapter 1592: We’ll Take It No Matter What

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Wandering didn’t ask Lu Li what to do.
In Lu Li’s opinion, Wandering was the kind of person who didn’t have any boundaries. Wandering had always believed that when compared to Lu Li, he at least possessed the beauty and goodness of the human race. Lu Li, on the other hand, was like a broken angel.
However, it seemed like that had always been a part of Lu Li’s character, in this life and in the previous one.
City Smoke and Eagle Cutesie were finally waiting for the person who they thought had the high Charisma. If you followed their line of reasoning, they thought that this person must be a relative of Hachi Chan. Even if they weren’t the System’s son, he would at least be a distant relative.
Lu Li hated people who had this kind of Charisma, so he didn’t feel the slightest guilt in doing this.
Eagle Cutesie provided steps for the whole process, so Whinging Hollow could simply come before Lu Li and trigger the quest.
“Hello, how is it going?”
City Smoke didn’t look too comfortable as he waited by the wayside. He couldn’t participate, so he had to anxiously wait for the outcome. If the quest triggering process went wrong, then Eagle Cutesie was a liar and the names he had provided naturally wouldn’t have any credibility.
“It looks like there are no problems. I handed in a Rare Material, and was rewarded with a Gold equipment. There was then a follow-up quest prompting me to look for Yeh’Kinya. Everything is going according to what your contact said,” Whinging Hollow said, confirming the truth of the quest triggering strategy.
“Haha, I told you that I wouldn’t lie to you.”
Eagle Cutesie could finally wipe the sweat off his face. It was one thing to be confident about the theory, but it was always different in
practice.
“Once I get back, I’ll test the two people you mentioned. After that, I’ll credit the reward to your account.”
City Smoke held back his disdain and continued on in a business-like manner. Although Eagle Cutesie probably wouldn’t be satisfied with his delay in transferring the amount, he was very confident that those two players were traitors, so he didn’t care.
“Wait a moment, my Dwarf friend,” Lu Li called out to Whinging Hollow.
It was impossible for Lu Li not to issue the quest, because it would reveal the fact that he wasn’t an actual NPC. This identity would be of great use to him in the future, so he had no choice but to honestly give it.
However, he also had no intentions of just taking a loss.
When he told Wandering that he would put City Smoke in a world of pain, those were not empty words. He had concocted an intricate plan, and Whinging Hollow was the perfect person to start it on.
Whinging Hollow was the Dwarf that Lu Li was referring to. He immediately stopped walking away, and calmly turned around.
This kind of thing had happened before. At the beginning he was always nervous, but now he just calmly responded. As a person with a high Charisma value, he had a much easier time triggering quests, but he also found that quests would sometimes come to him.
With this ability, he had become a core elite of Glory Capital.
He had heard that Ruling Sword had a similar player called Hachi Chan. He had always been curious as to whether his or Hachi Chan’s Charisma was higher. Unfortunately, Ruling Sword and Glory Capital were hostile towards each other.
“O esteemed teacher, is there anything I can do for you?” Whinging Hollow asked respectfully.
“I have encountered some bottlenecks in my production of potions. I need a more advanced herb to break through it. This kind of herb is only available in Desolace, and the souls of the Mok’Nathal tribe protect it. I hope to find someone to help me fight off these strong enemies,” Lu Li explained. As an NPC, he had the freedom and flexibility to give quests as he pleased.
“Accept the quest.”
City Smoke had finally managed to hear that Lu Li was saying. Obviously, Lu Li was saying this in the process of triggering a quest.
“Are you sure?” Whinging Smoke was obedient to City Smoke, but he didn’t necessarily like how the Intelligence Chief was dealing with the overall situation. He bluntly asked, “Do you know that the Mok’Nathal tribe’s Ogres are very powerful?”
“How strong could they be. How many players are out there fighting Wild Bosses?” City Smoke was surprised that he was questioned.
“When I was level 50, I went levelling in that area and I got one-shot,” Whinging Hollow said with some lingering fear. He didn’t wait for City Smoke to refute that claim, and quickly added, “I went again at max level, and the monsters were still terribly strong. I brought several squads to help out, and I barely killed two of the spirit Ogres.”
“Ask for what the quest reward would be,” City Smoke said, not willing to take no for an answer.
If the information provided by Eagle Cutesie was correct, Glory Capital could soon acquire the strategy to Zul’gurub. This was indeed a great achievement, but it still wouldn’t make up for the bad impression that had been left on Sorrowless’ bosses after the previous mistakes. This time, when Her Tears screwed them over, the loss was not just the four million, but the loss of reputation.
If you could obtain a rare reward from this quest, then that could change.
“Respected Master,” Whinging Hollow had no choice but to turn back to Lu Li and ask, “I do want to work for you, and I am unafraid to do so, but the Ogres of the Mok’Nathal tribe are very strong, and they will defend their territory viciously. May I understand what kind of compensation I will receive?”
“Of course, you are allowed to know what your reward will be,” Lu Li smiled and said in a sly tone. “In fact, there is nothing more precious than this. If you complete this quest, you will receive a newly-invented poison formula, two Epic Thief equipment and a copy of the Enhanced Shadowstrike skill book…”
When it came to the poison formula, Whinging Hollow knew that it would be exquisite, but he didn’t know its precise attributes so he was indifferent towards it.
When it came to the Epic Thief equipment, there was no way to be indifferent towards it. This was equipment to be rewarded by the Thief trainer after all. Whinging Hollow ranked among the core elites of Glory Capital not because of his fighting power, but because of his Charisma value. As such, when they were completing Instance Dungeons, he would not usually receive a share in the equipment. The same was true with Wild Boss kills.
Most of his equipment came from quests, but there were too few quests that rewarded Epic equipment. His current equipment levels were barely enough to keep him in the core Elite group circle.
Now, there were two Epic equips beckoning to him.
When Lu Li said ‘Enhanced Shadowstrike’, his mind was thrown into a mess. He thought he had heard wrongly.
As City Smoke opened his mouth, Whinging Hollow screamed, “We’ll take it no matter what!”
