The Great Thief

There wasn’t really much to say about this whole process. Basically, everyone just made it through by doing all sorts of random things. It was like a casual guild activity that everyone happened to take part in.

 Actually, some people had snuck onto this island and were investigating what Ruling Sword was doing.

 But at that time, the Boss was already on his last legs, so even if others came to interfere, the outcome wouldn’t change. All in all, this Boss wasn’t hard at all to defeat.

 With Remnant Dream looting, the Boss put on a commendable performance and dropped a piece of Epic equipment.

 Lu Li and his team who were mostly wearing Epic equipment didn’t compete for it. One ordinary player from the Elite Group tried his best to take all of the equipment, and thus became the target of everyone’s envy.

 Actually, major guilds divided up things like this.

 To the rest of the elite players, there were a select few people who were freely able to receive Epic equipment, completely oblivious to the fact that the rest of the guild members were only compensated with a pitiful amount of DKP.

 A powerful, major guild like Ruling Sword would often fight Bosses, no matter if it was in Instance Dungeons or in the Wild. If they could just gain a little bit of DKP each time, they would have a good opportunity when it came time to sharing the loot.

 However, when ordinary guilds organized events, they didn’t always receive anything, so their DKP wasn’t worth it.

 With so many people here, obtaining the 20 Chimaera tenderloins was likewise an easy task.

 “My God, please don’t tell me you’ve already brought back what I wanted,” Dirge Quikcleave gasped in amazement. “Look at these pieces of meat! The quality is just incredible! I haven’t seen this kind of Chimaera meat for years.”

 “Once it’s roasted, can I try some?” Hachi Chan asked eagerly, looking from behind Lu Li.

 “Oh, of course, of course, it’s no problem. Oh, such a cute child! Is this your child?” he asked Lu Li, pointing at Hachi Chan.

 Lu Li was completely dumbstruck. Trying his best to hold himself back, he replied impulsively, “It’s with great regret to tell you that I am still unable to produce such a cute child. Now that the quest is completed, are you gonna give us that 500 pound chicken?”

 “Really is such a weird formula,” Lu Li whispered quietly, as the ingredient that he needed quickly arrived.

 After getting all the cooking ingredients, the goblin head chef finally roasted up the whole chicken to make an unmatchable feast. At the same time, he also taught Hachi Chan how to make those delicious tenderloins.

 Recipe: Dirge’s Delicious Sliced Chimaera!

 The extra reward of a cookbook, though it was unlikely to be more precious than Dirge’s original 30 pieces of sliced Chimaera, was still a welcome thing. The sliced meat made by following this cookbook was delicious.

It was definitely a smart idea to bring little Hachi Chan along on the quest.

 Lu Li took the 500 pound chicken and brought it over to hand it to Narain. The dwarf technician was happy and began eating in front of everyone.

 “Now that I’ve thought of how I can read this account book, I’m really so forgetful. Damn me, I remember I have a book. It’s called Draconic for Dummies…”

 “Didn’t you say you could understand it with divining glasses?” Lu Li couldn’t help ask.

 “Are you stupid? Divining glasses aren’t translating tools. How can you use them to read Draconic>” Narain said with disdain.

 “So why did you need me to get them back?”

 “Of course I need them. You’re all coming up to order me around. Why do I need to be polite or anything?” Narain said matter-of-factly.

 Finally, they knew how this guy could be good friends with Azuregos. He was just like him – full of crap!

 “And the 500 pound chicken?” Lu Li asked listlessly.

 “Haven’t eaten it in ages, but I still remember the rich taste,” Narain said in great satisfaction. They didn’t know his little body could hold so much food.

 “Haha, as long as you’re happy eating it sir.”

What more could Lu Li say?

 “Quickly, get my Draconic for Dummies over here, elf,” Narain urged.

 “Where is it?” Lu Li asked.

 “I knew this book would come in handy one day. Luckily, I’ve learnt to be clever and I’ve stored it up!” Narain said smugly. “No need to worry – it’s been hidden somewhere where no one can find it. Ah, I need to take a helicopter to find where it is. Unfortunately, on the way back, the plane crashed. It was only because of the incident that I was able to get super dwarf spirit power! Elf, go to Land’s End Beach to find the crashed helicopter. Keep heading south along the coast, and when you get there, you’ll see it!”

 Lu Li didn’t have anything more to say. He turned and went.

 Since the quest needed to be completed, there was no use for more talk. If they had a chance in the future, he would need to bring people over to teach this Dwarf a lesson!

 Arriving at Land’s End Beach, the southernmost point of Tanaris, Lu Li immediately found Meridith the Mermaiden on the shore. This young mermaid, whose appearance was very unusual, was singing a pleasant song. She had once saved Narain’s life, and fell in love with him at first sight.

 She hoped Lu Li could give one of Meridith’s love letters to Narain.

 This was part of the quest. Otherwise, Lu Li couldn’t be bothered to serve as a messenger like this. Of course, he needed to admit that he had an evil intention of taking advantage of Narain.

 “What is it? A love letter? Give it to me. Who would write a love letter to me? Why’s it her! She’s a fish! I tell you, she’s a fish! And I’m a dwarf! There’s no chance things will work between us. Dammit, I still can’t forget it,” Narain cried with a painful expression.

 “Actually, I feel like true love is found in interracial relationships. Master, you should seriously consider it,” Lu Li suggested with a straight face, trying his best not to laugh.

 “Elf, you don’t understand, you don’t understand. You simply have no way of understanding what love between a dwarf and a fish feels like,” Narain sighed sadly. It was like he had taken off all his pretense.

 Lu Li curled up his lips in delight, and went back to report on what he had done with great satisfaction.

 Meridith the Mermaiden’s expectant eyes slowly vanished, but she still smiled kindly as she thanked Lu Li. Then, Lu Li and those with him had their swimming speed increased by 500%.
