The Great Thief

The disadvantage from their difference in numbers soon manifested itself. Although Green Flag Wine was able to heal some HP, the fans of Peerless City were obviously feeling down.

Even their fans knew that Peerless City was going to lose again. These professional players obviously wouldn’t lie to themselves, but Green Flag Wine, Deadly Gold Underpants and Vegetarian Mosquito didn’t seem to care and did not intend to admit defeat.

So what was the strategy in a four on three?

Fight however you liked!

It was so simple that Lu Li broke away from his team and pressed forwards. Now that there were fewer players in the fight, a Thief’s advantage began to grow.

Vegetarian Mosquito quickly threw out a Flare to prevent Lu Li from appearing behind him.

Peerless City had a Chain Mail Armor player and two Plate Armor players, but among these, everyone knew that the Hunter would be targeted first.

Vegetarian Mosquito was about to cry. He had just gotten onto the field; why couldn’t they let him catch his breath?

Obviously, the four Ruling Sword players wouldn’t do that. Without a single word, all four of them targeted him. To make matters worse, Lu Li was part of the four, and he had an arsenal of crowd control Skills.

Green Flag Wine was trying to take on the responsibility of a healer, but his healing was insufficient. Even if no one was trying to interrupt him, he couldn’t keep Vegetarian Mosquito alive.

At this time, the team rounds were quickly coming to an end and Peerless City was almost defeated. Ruling Sword had six points and Peerless City had two points.

In addition to the points from the current match, the total score between Ruling Sword and Peerless City had reached 22:12. There was a distinct gap between the two sides.

Unless Peerless City could win all five of the individual rounds and the team round without losing a single member…

“Peerless City is defeated!”

Jiu Feng couldn’t help but feel sympathetic. The guild that she was a part of had been defeated.

Those who were in the professional circle could no longer dream of taking the championship.

“There is still one more game, so they can keep on playing, “Four Seas Dragon said emotionally. “The next game might be insignificant for Ruling Sword, but it will be Peerless City’s last game for the season.”

“What do you think the result of the next game will be?” Jiu Feng asked.

Before Four Seas Dragon spoke, she would have thought that Ruling Sword would win. After all, Ruling Sword had won twice and Peerless City had lost completely. If they wanted to, they could apply to the league for the third game to be cancelled.

However, as Four Seas Dragon said, the next game was Peerless City’s final match of the season.

There was a story about a hound that drove a rabbit out of its nest and kept chasing it, but it couldn’t catch it for a long time. The hunter saw this scene and said to the hound with a smirk, “That rabbit is so small and you should be able to run faster,” but the hound replied, “But don’t you know that we are running for completely different reasons? I am running for a meal, but it is running for its life.”

For one team, the amount of effort that they put in didn’t matter when they were going to win no matter what. For the other, they were already destined to lose, so perhaps this was the time to give it their all.

As such, the result of the third game was actually quite uncertain.

Ruling Sword was still the host and ally of Peerless City, so they had to entertain their guests after the match. Having a meal together was the most appropriate activity to celebrate this.

Ruling Sword had about 10-20 high level players while Peerless City had 30-40 players. They had to be divided into the tables where they would sit. Chinese people paid attention to this, and it was easy to offend someone if done incorrectly.

Ruling Sword had booked out a medium-sized restaurant that served a Chinese buffet with many options. There were also drinks available and the atmosphere was quite lively.

Most of them were professional players, and there were some guild executives. The guild executives sat in a corner to exchange their views on the current professional circle, while players were much freer to go around chatting with old friends.

The professional circle was actually not that small, but many of them were already familiar with each other.

Peerless City’s Warlock Immortal was quite innocent, but this added to her appeal as many otakus thought she was cute.

The only girl that had no one around her was March Rain. Her brother Lonesome Flower was very diligent in standing next to her and giving death stares to anyone who dared to talk to her. This was enough to scare away the Peerless City players.

Lonesome Flower was actually the person who had overtaken Lu Li on the Level Rankings. After all, he didn’t compete in the professional matches, and had all the time in the world to go levelling.

As he was ranked number one, he had an equal right to be there even though he wasn’t a professional player.

Kitty Likes Meat was eating the entire time, and would keep up with all the food that was being served. Whenever sometime greeted her, she would respond with her mouth full.

As for Sakura Memories, faces of those who ran over to talk to her would quickly turn green.

Falling Smile came over to say hello politely, originally wanted to talk about the Shaman Profession. After all, there were not more than ten Shaman players in the entire professional circle. However, after greeting her, Sakura Memories brought up the topic of Deadly Gold Underpants and Green Flag Wine being in a relationship. Was that true? Who knew…?

Peer Falling Smile took a half step back in shock. He didn’t know her well and had no idea that she was such a mischievous woman.

Of course, Water fairy had appeared together with Peerless City in Jiangnan City and naturally couldn’t move about without being surrounded.

Most players didn’t ignore her, but they were still limited to saying hello.

After all, Water Fairy’s reputation of being cold had no come out of thin air. She wasn’t very enthusiastic when she greeted people and would respond almost emotionlessly. Her expression wasn’t completely cold, but most people felt like she wasn’t really smiling.

Moreover, she had a status that most players didn’t dare to violate. It was probably temperament of the kind of person that would be able to lead the guild.

However, after Lu Li came in, she suddenly became more lively.

“Sorry, something came up and I’m late,” Lu Li apologized to everyone.

“Did something happen?” Square Root 3 asked softly as he greeted him.

“It should be okay; I contacted her family,” Lu Li replied. After the game, he had learned that White Bread, the Logistics Manager, had fainted in the game. As such, he quickly logged out and called her family to confirm her situation.

“It might have been too hard for her recently; I will help her more,” Square Root 3 said. “There are people there waiting for you. Go and say hi.”
