The Great Thief Chapter 473
Lu Li didn’t have to wait for too long. After two to three minutes, someone called Old Kidney Pain asked to join his party.
Lu Li had heard of this guy; he was a typical Treasure Hunter. His level wasn’t very high – he was currently only level 28 – but he was definitely Dawn’s most unpredictable Thief.
“I’ve brought 50 stacks of the best bread. Someone else has also entrusted me with 20 bottles of Advance Healing Potion. You haven’t died yet, so shall I inform the person that I don’t need to use Revive?” Old Kidney Pain stood in front of Lu Li, who was sitting cross-legged between some bushes, and curiously looked at him.
Lu Li was not in Stealth, but Old Kidney Pain had strong enough detection that he had found the legendary Lu Li on his first try.
However, it was a bit of long shot to call Lu Li ‘legendary’ at the moment. He was surrounded by a morbid, dark red mist, and because Old Kidney Pain was in Lu Li’s party, he could see a -300 appear over his head.
Even so, Lu Li seemed to be in high spirits. His calm and deep eyes looked at Old Kidney Pain as he walked close by.
“I am only level 28; I can’t fight you,” Old Kidney Pain reassured him.
“Just give me the bread. How much money do I owe you?” Lu Li asked, confirming the details of the transaction.
“The employer has already paid for it,” Old Kidney Pain said, then, unable to resist his curiosity asked, “What happened to you? It looks quite serious. Do you need another service?”
“Oh, what can you do?”
“Kill, destroy, write a love letter, pretend to be a boyfriend or girlfriend. If you can conceive it, we can do it,” Old Kidney Pain proudly said.
Mercenary Groups were not the same as a small group of 3 to 5 players. There were some Mercenary Groups that had tens of thousands of players. They did extensive business, but did not participate in the interests of competitions between guilds – they just worked for whoever paid better.

“Hrm. Will you be able to find someone who can remove curses?” Lu Li tore a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth.
“Can you reveal who hurt you like this?” Old Kidney Pain probed.
“You’re quite curious, aren’t you?” Lu Li frowned but continued, “I’ll give you a warning. Don’t hang around Silverpine Forest in your free time; the Son of Arugal is not fun to deal with.”
“Son of Arugal?” Old Kidney Pain instantly tensed up. “Did he appear here? Wait, how are you alive?”
“I’m alive because he’s dead. How long will it take for someone to remove this curse?” Lu Li really didn’t like the feeling of this curse on his body. Not only could he die at any moment, but his equipment was also being damaged. This was estimated to be the longest curse a player had experienced so far.
Old Kidney Pain had just seen the body of a huge Worgen not far behind.
“Did you actually kill it?”
“I got lucky,” Lu Li modestly answered.
Old Kidney Pain didn’t think that it was a fluke. Among his social circle, many of them had received requests for Mercenary Soldiers to kill Hogg or the Son of Arugal out of anger.
Just because those players seeking revenge were weak didn’t mean they were poor. They were rich second-generation kids who were unhappy after being killed and were eager to spend money to get revenge.
At first, they weren’t aware of the dangers, and many Mercenary Groups accepted the quest. Although they had organized quite a few fights again the Son of Arugal, the outcome was obvious. Since then, the Son of Arugal has been a Mercenary Group taboo.
Old Kidney Pain was an Alliance member, so he didn’t come to the Silverpine Forest often, but he knew about its dangers.
He then realized that Lu Li was incredibly strong. He also regretted not arriving a little earlier – perhaps he could have caught Lu Li in the middle of the fight. They were both Thieves, so he could have learned something.

After leaving all his bread behind, Old Kidney Pain left.
Lu Li had to find a way to defend himself, so he periodically moved from place to place to ensure that his coordinates changed. He endured the curse and finally survived after an hour’s time.
During this time, he also got to look at what the Son of Arugal dropped.
The Son of Arugal only dropped two items. One was an Engineering blueprint – an Aquadynamic Fish Attractor which increased the fishing attribute by 100 points and increased the probability of catching rare fish by 20%.
It was quite a good item.
More and more seniors had started to join Dawn. They were seldom willing to join the fighting and mainly engaged in relaxing or recuperative activities.
However, as they explored more of Dawn, more and more old people discovered that they liked fishing. They couldn’t experience this same kind of fishing in real life.
Although this item could only be used for 2 hours, it would sell for almost 70 gold on the market.
The second was a piece of equipment. Unfortunately, the rare material that Lu Li was looking forward to had not appeared.
However, when he saw the properties of this equipment, his disappointment immediately disappeared.
Raider’s Leather Pants (Gold): Armor 32, Agility +16, Constitution +12, Special Effect 1: Critical Hit +10%. Special Effect 2: Son of Arugal’s Arrest: attacks have a chance of stunning the target for 1 second. Special Effect 3: Son of Arugal’s Curse: Curse a target causing it to lose 100 HP every 5 seconds for 300 seconds. 30 minute cooldown. Equipment Requirement: level 35. Durability 64/64.
There was a small inscription on the pants: You are a small fry killer.
These pants combined two of the Son of Arugal’s most disgusting skills.
The first effect was bonus critical hit, which was normal for exquisite equipment. The second effect was just like son of Arugal’s stun, but the probability of activating it wasn’t as high. Lu Li still had a lingering fear of that ability. As for the third effect, that was clearly much worse than the Son of Arugal’s version.
Even though it was worse, the effect itself was still very strong.
If a player didn’t do anything about the curse, they could lose a total of 6000 HP. There wasn’t a single player with that kind of HP at the moment.
Lu Li’s current pants were already quite good, but they were nothing compared to the Raider’s Leather Pants.
Although it was a dire situation, the items that were dropped brightened Lu Li’s mood. Even so, if he encountered the Son of Arugal again, he would always choose to run first.
He had managed to kill he son of Arugal this time, but he couldn’t discount the fact that some luck was involved.
After the curse on Lu Li ended, he quickly arrived at the South Stream Coast. This was a very quiet place; there was the Burning Wood Village on one side and the Shadowfang Keep wasn’t far away.
There was nothing unusual about this place, nor was there anything special about it.
Lu Li came here to fish, as he wanted to catch a Southern Grouper. If he cooked that, his sister would probably like to have some.
Additionally, there was also a sick squirrel that spawned here and was a rare pet.
Most wild monsters couldn’t be tamed without the Hunter’s Tame Beast. However, these squirrels, which were on the verge of dying, could be tamed by bringing them to a veterinarian.

Truck-kun Gets Sacrificed
Driscoll is my own version of a world with a game-like "system" of endless possibilities. MC has his own status, classes, skills, magic, and a living greatswordstaff in a world of monsters, demi-humans of all kinds, and even the supernatural. Sound good? Well, at first for Tru, it was a dream come true(I'm sorry). At least until reality hits him again and again. His quest from God is vague and must be discovered by him along the way. Hopefully, he can figure that out someday but for now, this new world's threats and his potential for power are motivation aplenty. With His new partner by his side, he's ready to embark on his mission of infinite sacrifice, however many lives it takes. The setting is pretty standard for fantasy, with my beginner attempts at writing. Litrpg elements are definitely involved here but It'll calm down as the story progresses and the world's foundation is laid. Judeo/Christian themes and principles take a major role and will be a backbone for much of the story. The fights will paint a picture in the mind rather than just be a bunch of number crunching. While he is meant to be a sacrifice to save all of Driscoll, he needs to gain enough power and influence to be a worthwhile sacrifice, or so he thinks. And so carnage will ensue as he avoids death as best he can while at the same time sacking himself for others. Truck Coon is your average determined, jiu-jitsu practitioner, tax associate that just started his new career. He dies to save kids from a semi-truck(Truck Coon got truck-kun'd, making him Truck-kun) and is transported to another world rather conventionally by God. Upon his arrival, he is quickly confronted with his first conflicts in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Chapters are currently between 2300 and 4000 words and I try to post weekly, but also deal with severe limitations that cause late posts often. I have zero actual experience with writing stories and only recently started reading web novels in 2020. If you end up hating it, let me know your thoughts in a detailed comment or review, especially if you love it though :D I want to get better and welcome the feedback, so expect changes to be made with any flaws that y'all point out which I don't already have plans to address in future chapters. That being said, keep it constructive in nature, please. I have no Idea how the formatting and such will go, so if you like or dislike some techniques I try, give me that well-appreciated feedback! Thank you for reading.

The Rocky Shore
This is a LitRPG series. Every story you read here takes place in the same virtual world, with the same rules and limitations. Characters will travel, explore vast and dangerous realms, overcome obstacles, meet one another, enter into conflicts with one another, forge alliances, make horrible mistakes, and occasionally just die. A technological singularity has been achieved, and humanity has been trapped in a virtual world by a super-intelligent, self-improving artificial intelligence. This program is not malicious at all. In fact, it desires nothing except the happiness and fulfillment of every human it has copied into itself. If its decisions seem strange to you, that's only because its reasoning is far beyond ours. It recognizes that humans cannot be happy without enemies to overcome and goals to achieve, as well as the possibility of failure and death. The world it has created may be heaven or hell, depending on the free choices of the people it contains. The non-player characters who live in this realm have no idea that they are part of a vast computer system. They seem real enough, but there is no way to tell if they are truly self-aware. Even the system that created them isn't certain. This is world in which all the things that humans are used to dealing with in the abstract: skills, talents, knowledge, reputation, social status, morality, even love, exist as readable statistics that players can see and interact with objectively. This has many curious and complex effects on how people perceive themselves and the world around them. A few quick notes on the system: -Death is permanent -The system interface can only be accessed at certain locations. -Magic of diverse kinds is available and useful, but is not a good substitute for skills, physicallity, or mental prowess. Non-magical characters are common and competitive. -There is no inventory system. Characters must physically carry everything they wish to have on their person. -Healing is slow and difficult. Magical Healing is all but unheard of. Protagonists: Raymond Garrison- A man in his late twenties who used to work as a forklift operator in Idaho. His path leads him to work as a mercenary, protecting a small community of humans and goblins from the Seelie Fae who wish to exterminate them. Patricia Chandler- A elderly British woman who arrives in this new world with her grandson Kyle and her granddaughter Elizabeth. Never having dealt with rpg game mechanics before, she is in for a rough time, but she is determined to keep her grandkids alive in a world full of danger and evil. Jamil Mesbah- An Egyptian woman who once worked as a technical writer. Her path leads into a vast and hostile forest, where she must master both her magical abilities and her survival skills in order to succeed. Enjoy your travels, friends.
