The Great Thief

The Female Tycoon, charging with her momentum, rushed across the finish line. This made all those cheering people on the outside who thought that Capital Beauty would win fall silent.

The System had already confirmed that Water Fairy was the Ram Race champion.

She sent the ram outside, but halfway along, it was blocked. Lu Li, flapping his wings, came down from the sky. After making a loop, he landed on Water Fairy’s shoulder. The field of vision here was still alright. The most important thing was being able to smell Water Fairy’s wafting fragrance.

Lu Li shuffled around very intimately.

Because she needed to deal with those troublemakers ahead, Water Fairy didn’t really pay attention to the transformed Lu Li. She just let him stay perched on his shoulder.

“Do you know who you’ve messed with?”

Confrontations always started with cliché lines like this. It was like these people could never come up with anything new, or perhaps their IQ only allowed them to command this sort of language.

“Well, do you know who you’ve messed with?” Lu Li asked in response.

“We’re from the Great Wave guild. What guild are you from?”

Their Great Wave guild had recently received an injection of funds. They had absorbed up a few smaller guilds and were now more than twice the size they were previously.

At least in terms of the size of their numbers, they had already met the requirements for being a large guild. Ninety-nine percent of players in the game couldn’t pose a threat to them. If they bullied a random player, they wouldn’t have to worry about payback at all.

That was why the way the Great Wave guild conducted themselves as loftier than before.

“Hit her – she’s just one person. There’s nothing to be afraid of. If she really does have backup, then how come she doesn’t have anyone following her?” Capital Beauty cried out, running over. She had already received the comfort of her flatterers, so she finally decided to come over and take back her pride.

At that time, she had been given a shock, so she covered her head and didn’t dare move.

On one hand, she felt she was acting delicately, like a beautiful girl who was sick. On the other hand, she felt like she had lost face.

She wasn’t a complete idiot either. Capital Beauty was flat-chested, so she didn’t conform to the ‘big breasts and no brain’ stereotype. At the very least, she could infer a little bit about Water Fairy’s background from her appearance.

Actually, the competitors were basically all like Water Fairy. There was barely anyone who brought a whole group of people with them.

The players who had an entourage were the guild leaders or other important people. They paid more attention to their personal safety, but they couldn’t protect themselves. They could only take people from their own guilds, and these players often took turns in shifts.

Or perhaps they were other people with connections, hiring mercenaries to protect themselves.

However, of the over one billion players worldwide, not a single one of the real competitors were usually seen. No one would think that they would bump into a legendary player in a ram race, let alone a celebrity player.

“Hit me?”

Water Fairy initially didn’t want to bother with these people, but hearing that they wanted to hit her, she immediately stopped.

This was outside the city, so it was originally not a safe zone. PVP battles occurred all the time. It was only because of Brewfest that this area had all been cordoned off as a safe zone. Within the safe zone, you couldn’t engage in PVP, but it was still fine to hit people.

“That’s right, hit her! Let her know what happens after she takes my championship,” Capital Beauty called out.

Lu Li sighed at the bottom of his heart. What sort of problem was this?

If he hadn’t been reborn, then Water Fairy wouldn’t have sent people out to buy a hangover cure at this time, and she’d still be a beautiful drunk girl. In that state, she naturally wouldn’t have come over to participate in a Ram Race, and she wouldn’t have had a conflict with the Great Wave guild.

The Great Wave guild would naturally just continue their smooth development.

There were many more aggressive people in this gaming circle. If Lu Li hadn’t been reborn, this lazy young girl, Capital Beauty, would just keep up her behaviour, unless she encountered someone that she couldn’t afford to offend. However, along with Great Wave’s development, the tiny odds of this happening grew even more miniscule.

What a shame that Lu Li was reborn.

The main offender all along was Lu Li!

However, he certainly wasn’t planning to apologise for this. He knew right from the beginning that this matter wouldn’t be solved peacefully. So, if at this time, Great Wave’s people were smart enough, they would realise that the number of people coming in from Water Fairy’s were far greater than the number of people they had brought today.

“What are you waiting for!” The first one to do anything was a Paladin who was affectionately known as Lil’ Soft Big Bro.

This feminine name often misled people who met him. From when he joined Dawn, he was the one who got himself involved in all sorts of trouble for no reason. He wasn’t really interested in Instance Dungeons, but rather, was keen on using all sorts of different ways to fight. He had a special preference for the cunning style of chaotic warfare.

Today, he wasn’t looking for trouble just for the sake of it. This was a rare case where he had a reason for doing things.

When he heard that this odd couple was going to be in a fight, he wasn’t like the others, taking joy in their suffering. He wanted to be an observer, and at the same time, sell out his front row seat, grab some snacks and make the front page the next day. Lil’ Soft Big Bro knew his chance had come.

He used his artistic licence to spice up how the whole story happened.

“Ruling Sword’s big boss and his girl had been besieged by a group of enemies. These tight-knit brotherhood leaders resolutely brought a band of brothers with them. Braving a great downpour, they rushed down to the scene to save them.

In this battle, you could say they were slaughtered until the rivers ran red. Lil’ Soft Big Bro had 36 cuts on him…”

“Damn, leave one for me!” Her Tears cried out, dazed at all of his effort and work. He suddenly realized that all his targets had already gotten away.

As soon as he had received Lu Li’s notice they raced over like a hurricane. The Great Wave guild only had a few dozen people. They were simply not enough to deal with the fierce hired thugs of Ruling Sword.

This was simply too different to what Her Tears imagined.

Great Wave guild’s people were originally planning to call people over for backup when they suddenly recognized the Paladin player leading the charge.

Ruling Sword!

Why was it Ruling Sword!?

Capital Beauty was also dumbstruck. She was a young girl, so no one raised a hand against her. But she felt that in front of her, there were already thousands of curses being thrown at her.
