The Thistle Village covered a wide area with monsters that refreshed quickly. Additionally, there was a chance for the monsters to drop some Alchemy recipes. This was the reason that the Imperial Secret Service wanted to take over the area.
However, this large area had quickly become a nightmare for them.
There was a ghostlike Thief, whose whereabouts were unknown.
âDammit, thatâs the seventh one. Brightly has been killed as well. This guy only picks people with good equipment to kill. How shameless.â
The Imperial Secret Service members were angry, but they couldnât find the target of their anger.
âDid you guys grow up eating feces? How can a few hundred of you be afraid of one Thief? Those who were killed, who killed you?â
âIt didnât show a name. Maybe he has a special item. Maybe its Lu LiâŠâ
âLu Li? We arenât even hunting him anymore! How dare he show his face here!â
Lu Li obviously didnât know what these people were talking about. Even if he did, he wouldnât care. He was too immersed in killing people and taking their equipment.
He now had a PVP value of nine, and would be finished after ten.
He had to stop⊠He definitely had to stopâŠ
Realizing that he had just gained another 5 PVP points, he solemnly vowed to stop.
âLu Li, I ran into Drizzle Court players. Haha, Iâm pretty lucky right.â
Azure Sea Breezeâs unique laughter filled his brain, allowing him to sober-up from his killing frenzy.
âOh.â
Lu Li picked up his speed, as he quickly finished off the people in front of him. He gathered up the dropped equipment and immediately casted Gale Steps, before a group of long-ranged professions could attack him.
âIf you stick around with Drizzle Court, youâll have no problems with your Profession Upgrade Quest. Your mapâs point of difficulty is the Boss, but with the rank 1 Main Tank, it should be a piece of cake,â Lu Li elaborated.
He opened up his character attributes and saw an impressive PVP value of 14.
It seemed as though Lu Li had a demon in his heart, just like in his previous life. The demon had enticed him into indulging himself in the pleasure of killing, and he couldnât seem to break free.
He suspected that he might have some kind of mental disease.
Moonlight was probably even more afflicted by this mental disease.
Some of the players on the Glory Rankings had over 1700 Glory points. There were a large number of people who placed before Lu Li on this list.
It was probably time to go and practice his Trade Skill.
âLighty, what are you doing?â Lu Li rented a laboratory and began to make âThe world is so bigâ. His Engineering was almost at the Intermediate (80) level, which led him one step closer to making the Foolâs Bomb.
âKilling some people.â
Lu Li knew that only Moonlight could say something like that so casually.
âThe PVP rules have changed and youâre still killing people.â Lu Li was bored, so he decided to talk to Moonlight. However, he was also curious about his mentality when he PVPed.
âI donât have a single PVP point. Whatâs there to be afraid of?â Moonlight disagreed.
âAre you PVPing in Warsong Canyon?â
Lu Li remembered that game had certain areas that were specifically made for PVP. Killing players in these areas wouldnât increase a playerâs PVP value.
âWhy? Do you have a PVP value?â Moonlight asked.
âYeah, 14 points. There were some people trying to take over an area, so I killed a dozen or so of them,â Lu Li sighed.
âThe solution is simple. Go to the Mercenary Hall and take a few Bounty Quests to clear out your PVP value. With your level of skill, it shouldnât be a problem right?â Moonlight didnât really understand Lu Liâs predicament.
âItâs not about the PVP value. Have you ever felt like you go into a killing frenzy when you start killing players?â Lu Li asked.
âOf course. Thereâs no pleasure in killing monsters. I play games for the pleasure,â Moonlight said and continued impatiently, âAlright, I gotta go. Thereâs someone coming. I want to try and use Whirlwind to kill multiple people at once.â
âRemember to do your Profession Upgrade Quest if youâre free,â Lu Li quickly added.
âNah, thatâs too troublesome. You can buy a Profession Upgrade scroll with 2000 glory.â
Moonlight didnât appreciate Lu Liâs reminder.
âAlright⊠byeâŠâ
He really was a simple, PVP madman.
Playing games for his pleasure!
Lu Li thought about this phrase. He had mixed feelings about it and was unsure what that felt like.
He would have liked to indulge in his pleasures, but his sisterâs issue has always been on his mind. He also needed to plan for the future; he wanted his sister to enjoy a wealthy life.
Lu Li reminded himself that he was a professional player. It was best that he didnât offend other people.
Realistically, not everyone would be friendly to him, even if he was patient. There were also some things that he simply couldnât be patient about. People taking over areas were an example; the feeling of being told to go away was unbearable.
But he had experienced rebirth!
Before he had experienced rebirth, he wasnât this affected by this. For some reason, rebirth had made him more susceptible to it.
Lu Li spent his entire afternoon working in the lab. At first, his emotions were in a mess, but he slowly calmed down as he refined his items. During this period, Azure Sea Breeze and sixteen other players completed their Profession Upgrade Quest. This caused quite the commotion among the players, which was different to when Lu Li had succeeded. He was alone and his name had been concealed.
It was a great achievement for sixteen people to complete the quest together.
All the members of the core party had succeeded, even if they didnât end up taking Lu Liâs advice.
In reality, Azure Sea Breeze had actually only narrowly completed the quest. There were initially two to three hundred Light Faction players, but after a battle with the Evil Faction players, their numbers had been reduced by 50%. Out of the hundred remaining players that fought the boss, only sixteen actually completed the quest.
The EXP that he gained was also a lot less. Azure Sea Breeze and Lu Li were originally not too far apart, but he was now a whole level behind.
Although this quest was available to LV15 players, it was recommended to wait until LV20 to attempt it.
After LV20, most players would be able to complete their Profession Upgrade Quest.
When the evening came, Lu Li met up with Hornetâs Nest.
Hornetâs Nest was dumbfounded when saw Lu Liâs level.
âYouâre already level 20!â
âWell.â
Lu Li looked at his opponent, who was only LV18. How weak.
âI worked myself to death with a team of a dozen players from the morning until now so that I could gain a single level. But youâre already level 20. You must be cheating!â
âYou can report me to the System if you want.â
Lu Li didnât express any opinion. Did Hornetâs Nest want an apology for levelling up too quickly?
âYou must be the first person to successfully complete the Profession Upgrade then?â
Hornetâs Nest didnât want to fight anymore, and he sat on the ground. This was a common acknowledgement of defeat; the outcome didnât necessarily need to be decided by the death of a participant.
âYeah.â
Lu Li put away his daggers.
âDid you get reward skills?â
âYeah.â
Lu Li also sat down.
âAre they good?â
âGale StepsâŠâ
âMy God!â
âDid you get some Skill Points as well?â
âQuite a few.â
Lu Li wasnât so open as to tell him everything.
The skills didnât matter, as they would be revealed sooner or later. However, Skill Points couldnât visibly be seen.
âWell, Sesame Rice Ball is one of you now. There wonât be anyone looking for trouble with him, at least, no one from Seventh Heaven.â
Hornetâs Nest wasnât angry; he knew that he had lost the bet. Although he would become very aggressive when provoked, he was still an open and honest person.
