The Great Thief

Chapter 1058: Lu Li is Going to School

Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations

There had to be a tent that was shared by a man and a woman...

Lu Li was a little annoyed. When Remulos was giving them these tents, why didn’t he think of this situation?

Everyone else was looking at him to make a decision. After all, he was the party leader of the team.

Lu Li’s eyes looked around before finally fixating on Lonesome Flower. He and March Rain were siblings, so they shouldn’t mind sharing the same tent. Lu Li had already checked out the tents. Although they didn’t look too promising from the outside, they were actually quite spacious. Moreover, after everyone logged out, it would just be the avatar left in game.

The System would force them to go offline anyway, so there was nothing they could do about that.

“Flower, let’s go before the System forces us offline. Us brothers have some things to talk about anyway,” Azure Sea Breeze said as he picked up a tent and dragged him off.

As Lonesome Flower was being pulled away, he kept looking back until he saw that Kitty Likes Meat had been paired up with his sister March Rain.

Hachi Chan and Remnant Dream were obviously going to share a tent; they were already standing hand in hand. The two girls did many things together, particularly Remnant Dream’s Pet quests and Hachi Chan’s chain quests.

Unforgettable Maple and Elevenless sneered as they looked at Lu Li and grabbed a tent together.

There was now one tent left on the ground, with Lu Li standing next to Water Fairy. All they could think of now was the cry of the crows flying overhead.

The group of players must have done this intentionally to set them up.

“How about...” Lu Li wanted to say that he could just go offline outside, but he wasn’t sure if that was a good idea. Who knew what would happen if he left his body in the wild? What if something attacked him and destroyed his equipment?

“If you don’t mind, let’s just share one together. We’re just going offline anyway,” Water Fairy’s mumbled, her voice getting softer and softer.

This girl was usually cold and arrogant, and she hadn’t even had a boyfriend before, so it was quite impressive that she would take the initiative. If it weren’t for her bandana, he would have already seen her blushing.

If there was nothing between these two players, then whether they were men or women made no difference.

Dawn was very effective in preventing players from being intimate. Even if two players voluntarily wanted it to happen, it was impossible to do so in the current game.

In the future, a System where more accurate sensations could be felt would be designed.

If two players wanted to start a relationship, they needed to spend a year together to gain that status in game. Few players were willing to do this just for virtual intimacy, so this didn’t happen very much in game. (The designer who made this system was quite conservative in this regard)

The two of them struggled for a little bit before finally getting into the tent.

Lu Li had chosen the double sleeping bag mode in the tent, which placed two separate sleeping bags where the players were supposed to lie.

There was still a little bit of time before the end of the day.

Neither of them were in a hurry to go offline as that would make them look even guiltier.

“How is Xin Xin doing?’ Water Fairy asked. This was quite a safe topic. She was concerned about Xin Xin’s health and had helped her over this process.

“Pretty good; she will be going back to school in the next few days.”

When his sister was mentioned, Lu Li couldn’t help but reveal a bit of a smile.

“She shouldn’t go if it will tire her out. It would be best if she completely recovered before going,” Water Fairy said hurriedly. She had some knowledge about this, but she had also asked about it through her private family contacts.

Lu Li was touched and gently responded, “Relax, she won’t be doing any early morning and late night studies. I will also go into the university town in future to accompany her after school.”

“Ah, so you are going to the university town?” Water Fairy was a bit confused.

Given his tone, it didn’t seem to be as simple as just taking Lu Xin to school.

“I plan to study myself and learn something,” Lu Li explained. He couldn’t start from scratch and take the college entrance examination exam; that wasn’t feasible as he didn’t have that much energy to study.

But as for whether the university would accept someone who grew up in the Common District and had never been educated, he had resolved that issue.

After Ruling Sword entered the quarter finals, the competition system had undergone significant changes.

The three games were divided into away games, home games and random areas. Under normal circumstances, the two clubs had to bring their helmets to three cities to complete the competition. The games were supposed to be tied back to real life.

Although this increased the costs of running the competition, there were other benefits.

Take Drizzle Court in Jinling City for example – if they had a grand ceremony in a few days, announcing that Drizzle Court had become the representatives of the city, then some of the costs of the Club would be subsidized by the municipal government.

After hundreds of years of ups and downs, Jiangnan city wasn’t even a second-tier city yet.

Although it was often selected as the most livable city in the country, that was the extent of its fame. Its economy was not that great, and it didn’t take center-stage for cultural or political events. A considerable portion of Chinese people didn’t even know there was a city here, and naturally, this meant that it couldn’t attract any major clubs.

The city had been in contact with the Star Moon Guild for a long time, and had helped the establishment and development of the guild.

It was a pity that the fruits of their investment died before they could even harvest them.

Fortunately, there was another way. Even though the Star Moon Guild was gone, the rising Ruling Sword was a guild that was disrupting the gaming industry.

Even the top leaders in the cities were paying attention to them. After the new rules of the First professional league were confirmed, the municipal government immediately contacted Ruling Sword.

Lu Li had been busy since the start of the year and had no time for this. It had always been Square Root 3 following these things up.

He had told Square Root 3 that he felt like his level of education was too low and he wanted to learn something in college.

If an ordinary unemployed person asked for this same thing, they would definitely be shunned for it. How could someone with a low education level enter university? What would that say about the university and the people who had worked so hard for the entrance exams?

However, Lu Li was different.

He was the leader of Ruling Sword and the most sought-after figure by the municipal government.

Lu Li had established the Xin Xin Mercenary Group and then established Ruling Sword. This guild had become one of the strongest guilds within a six-month period. No one would think that Lu Li was just some unemployed person.

If there was anything bad to say about Lu Li, it would only be his origins.

He was someone who had come out of the Common District. His story was quite a mythical one to the

general public, and was a bit of a slap to the face of the municipal government.

Even so, Lu Li was able to enroll in Jiangnan University with almost no problems.

Even Jiangnan University wasn’t irritated by the addition of this unqualified person. They actually looked forward to having this gaming legend attend their university and welcomed him with open arms.

Water Fairy laughed as she listened to Lu Li until the System began to count down, prompting them that it was now the end of the day.
