A Genius in a Second to Remember Love? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
More than two hours had passed by the time they returned to Fahrad's manor. Fahrad was still the same beautiful woman, but her expression had changed completely.
"I really didn't expect that I would misjudge you. You actually only came back now!"
The two Level 55 players each went to steal 50 Heavy Trash Bins. They were given an hour to do so. As long as they worked diligently, they definitely wouldn't need to spend two hours doing so.
"Master, please give me a chance to explain. Even my teacher, Lady Garona, wouldn't convict me without a trial. I have my reasons for coming back now, and I believe you won't blame me for it," Lu Li said with a serious face.
"Alright, you've got the chance." Perhaps Lu Li's words had really intimidated Fahrad, or perhaps Garona's name had intimidated Fahrad. Either way, Fahrad's anger had finally subsided.
Although they were both Grandmaster-level Thieves, Fahrad was obviously no match for Garona in terms of strength and reputation. In the internal ranking of the Union of Assassins, Fahrad was only a high-ranking member who was qualified to know of Garona's existence.
"We've heard you talk about Theft and Stealth before, and we've learned a lot from you. Although it's a little different from what my teacher said, I think it makes a lot of sense," Lu Li said with a straight face.
He then described the problems he encountered during his research, and sincerely asked Fahrad for advice.
Fahrad's anger was only because of Lu Li's delay, which wouldn't even lead to the failure of the mission. Therefore, his anger subsided even faster. Now that Garona's disciple thought that some of her techniques were useful, the beautiful Thief Guru was obviously pleased. Therefore, she patiently explained some of her opinions on Thief techniques.
If an ordinary Thief came to ask for advice, they would most likely be rejected.
This kind of teaching was actually very useful. Lu Li wasn't lying when he said that he had learned a lot. In the process of listening, his and Water Fairy's related skills increased rapidly.
"Well then, give me the heavy dustbin you stole." After a while, Grand Master Fahrad finally returned to the task itself.
The first fifty trash bins were successfully cleared as quest items. The quest reward was some copper coins. Ravenholdt Manor had been dealing in assassins for many years and was extremely wealthy. However, when it came to money, they always followed the principle of only taking in and not giving out.
Fortunately, Ravenholdt's reputation wasn't ambiguous at all.
Even though a lot of reputation points had been deducted due to the late completion of the mission, the reputation points gained from these fifty heavy trash cans were still more than a few normal missions. Moreover, Ravenholdt Manor's missions were not easy to accept. Even for someone of Lu Li's level, it was like walking on thin ice.
"Thank you for your generosity, but I don't think that these heavy dustbins will be enough to produce any results." Lu Li handed over 20 gold coins and said enthusiastically, "I'm willing to contribute a little to your research, and this friend of mine is also willing …"
The quest required 20 gold coins. The scam quest really lived up to its name.
At this stage, the price of gold fluctuated, but 20 gold coins was at least a thousand dollars in real life.
Fahrad reluctantly agreed to Lu Li's request and asked them to hand in 20 heavy dustbins within an hour.
Lu Li was overjoyed. He thought that the next mission would still be 50 heavy dustbins when he saw how angry Fahrad was. Although it wasn't impossible, it wouldn't be as comfortable as 20 heavy dustbins.
In fact, no matter how many heavy dustbins were requested, the reputation points gained were fixed.
Those who were extremely lucky might only need 20, or even 10, while those who were unlucky could only carry 50 heavy dustbins to hand in the mission.
There were more than a hundred backpack compartments, which couldn't hold that many heavy dustbins. It was extremely annoying to run back and forth.
Because some of the dustbins had been opened for the first time, the time was slowly extended. Every time, they could always hand in 20 dustbins that had already been checked. Lu Li and Water Fairy happily kept the good stuff from the treasure chest while exchanging the dustbins for reputation points.
"What's this?" Water Fairy habitually opened a dustbin and was suddenly attracted by the item inside.
"What's it called?" Lu Li asked.
"Night Walker Emblem … It doesn't look like a piece of equipment." Water Fairy read out the name of the item.
"Night Walker Emblem!" There were all kinds of items in the heavy dustbins. Lu Li couldn't possibly know all of them, but he was definitely familiar with the Night Walker Emblem. It was the most popular item in the Thief's field of theft.
Water Fairy took out the item. The Night Walker Emblem was a silver-white gem-like item. As a special item, it had its own properties: After use, it increased the success rate of theft by 20%, and at the same time, increased the movement speed of Stealth by 20% for three hours.
Theft had a certain success rate. The success rate was determined by the skill and level.
There was no need to talk about the skill. Almost every Thief would have their own experience. Fahrad had also imparted a lot of knowledge to them. In terms of level, the success rate of stealing from monsters that were lower than their own level was higher. However, when it reached a certain level, they could only steal trash. The success rate of stealing from monsters that were higher than their own level dropped sharply. When it reached a certain level, it was almost impossible to steal successfully.
For example, Lu Li and Water Fairy, the failure rate of stealing from monsters that were at their own level was quite high.
With this emblem, it would greatly reduce the failure rate of their theft.
"You can use it," Water Fairy said as she gave the Night Walker Emblem to Lu Li. She pursed her lips and smiled, "Your luck is too bad. You're always unable to steal treasure chests. You might be able to do it faster with this."
Am I being pitied? Lu Li smiled bitterly as he took the item and put it in his backpack.
He really couldn't compare to the speed at which Water Fairy obtained the heavy dustbins. With this emblem, he could steal a few more monsters, and the gap between the two of them wouldn't get too big.
They spent the whole day stealing and killing monsters. It wasn't tiring for a man and a woman to work together, so they didn't experience the boredom of stealing and the passage of time. Occasionally, they could also pick up some Syndicate Emblems, which could be exchanged for a certain amount of Ravenholdt Manor Reputation.
By nightfall, the two of them had finally reached their goal of Reputation.
