e would be able to kill him in a few hits.
But he first needed to find a way to get close to him.
Lu Li dared to estimate that there was probably no less than 50-60 Thieves just in the surrounding area.
If Sorrowless stood completely still, Lu Li knew he could rush up to kill him because he had the Detection Badge. He would likely bump into quite a few Thieves - that’s how tightly packed they were.
This was a game after all, so there wasn’t the high-tech security that was available in real life.
Another player just turned up; he seemed to have reported good news as Sorrowless’ normally solemn face had a smile. He turned to pat the player on the shoulder before letting him go.
This player seemed to be flattered and was really excited when he was walking away.
Lu Li stared at the player’s face before breaking into a smile.
Deception Orb.
Undead, Thief, ID Blank Thief.
At this point it is worth mentioning that the Deception Orb can change a player’s identity but not their appearance. You also couldn’t use an ID that was already taken, like Ninja Turtle or Blood Dagger.
But, was there a certain appearance that Undead players had?
Lu Li moved his jaw uncomfortably, trying to make sure that the effect wouldn’t just wear off. He then revealed himself at a distance and walked towards Sorrowless.
He could feel several Thieves surrounding him as he approached.
If he made any unusual movements, he would definitely be attacked.
“I’ve never seen you before.” It was impossible for Sorrowless to know everyone, but it wasn’t enough that he was an Evil Faction player. Regardless of whether it was Glory Capital, Blood Red War Flag, or a smaller guild, they would all be wary of undercover players posing as another faction.
Lu Li stopped moving – continuing to move would have meant death. He then spoke in a hoarse voice that spirits normally use, “The Chrysanthemum Blossom Brigade greets you. My brother is stuck in battle and couldn’t leave.”
Chrysanthemum Blossom Brigade was a medium sized guild. But it was only medium for now, as it was one of the secret branches the Glory Capital had nurtured.
Only Glory Capital’s few trusted players had the opportunity to know about this guild, so the ordinary players had no idea.
Lu Li knew about them because a player called Nightedge had killed Azure Sea Breeze over and over with a few other players.
But of course, that happened in his previous life.
Even whilst they had a hostile relationship, Nightedge was one of the few people that Lu Li admired.
Gossip spread when Nightedge and Sorrowless had a falling out. As Lu Li paid some attention to what had happened, it seemed like he was getting on good terms with Sorrowless.
This effect worked better than Lu Li had anticipated. It was likely that Sorrowless didn’t ask anyone too much about Nightedge, so he just waved Lu Li through. Lu Li could sense the ambushing Thieves slowly back away.
“My brother found a piece of equipment and he would like to give it to you. He told me to bring it over.” Lu Li reached into his bag and pulled out a piece of equipment – he had killed so many players today, so he had an abundance of equipment.
“Are you his sibling?” Sorrowless’ suspicions had mostly dissipated, but he couldn’t help but ask a few questions.
“No, he only has sisters in his family; I’m his cousin. He calls me Blank Thief,” Lu Li said. He found himself drawing closer to Sorrowless as he tried to give Sorrowless the equipment.
The gossip spoke of Sorrowless liking Nightedge’s younger sister, but she unfortunately chose the Light Faction…
How could they get into a relationship if they were different genders? Keke, sorry that was a slip of the tongue, I meant if they were different factions.
In short, it was a very melodramatic and complex situation.
“I see, have you seen Darkness recently? Did she really run away from home?” Sorrowless now had complete trust. Someone who knew that Nightedge only had sisters was definitely a friend or a relative in real life.
“Hehe…” Lu Li retracted his hands and replaced the equipment with a shining dagger.
Gouge!
Backstab!
Ambush!
Shadowstrike!
Slit Throat!
He didn’t get to use Cheap Shot. Despite the target being the president of Glory Capital, Lu Li didn’t even get through a single rotation of his skills before he killed him.
A level 18 player, especially one that was light armored, was going to be vulnerable regardless of whether they were a president of anything.
Lu Li quickly picked up the equipment and cast Gale Steps to vanish before the group of Thieves approached.
