The Great Thief Chapter 1199 – If You Don’t Call Me Daddy I’ll Kill Myself
Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations
“It is not very efficient to play like this,” Lu Li said.
“I think this is okay. It feels cool – unless you have a better way of playing?” Her Tears didn’t think this was slow. In fact, this was much faster than when he was playing alone.
“The first option is to exploit a small bug, and the second is to split the team,” Lu said, offering two choices.
Lu Li thought that Her Tears would jump at the mention of a bug. After all, a bug generally produced results that had never been seen before. But unexpectedly, Her Tears responded calmly by saying, “Let’s not use the bug. We shouldn’t trouble ourselves in the battlefield, and we should also keep it a fair fight.”
Lu Li didn’t really mind either way.
The so called Arathi bug was actually quite simple. There was an area in the Alliance base where you could force your way out during the one-minute preparation time. In that time, you could gain a significant amount of points and it would take a very strong opposing team to pull off a
The Alliance players in the Arathi battlefield who exploited this bug were called jumpers. From the Horde’s point of view, the Alliance players could somehow jump to the flag before they could reach them.
However, if they didn’t use the bug, then the number of players needed to be changed. Currently, the team of fifteen players was a bit much. The System would try to match opponents of the same size. Even if they were weaker than Lu Li’s team, it could be very difficult if they were well coordinated.
As for the number of players for each new group? It was simple – the optimal number was four players per group.

If they were in groups of five, they might get matched together. If they wanted to avoid this, it was best to be in groups of four.
The final teams were determined to be Her Tears, Lu Li, March Rain and Moonlight. This was quite a strong team to fight newbies with. The other teams were also quite strong, but there were some players who didn’t want to continue playing on the battlefield and chose to quit and farm instead. These players were Lonesome Flower and Sakura Memories.
With the team now organized in groups of four, Lu Li gave the party leader to Her Tears and waited for the match to start while looking through the Exchange Hall.
In fact, he didn’t have much time to see anything. By the time he opened the window, he was prompted to enter the battlefield. With fewer players, the matching was faster. After entering the match, the opposing team wasn’t nearly as skilled because they were a random team as well.
Arthur was a streamer, a career that had long since been established. However, this Arthur wasn’t doing very well. It was a very competitive industry, he wasn’t a woman and nor did he act cute. What’s more, he only ever streamed the battlefields. Instance Dungeons, Arenas or any other battle usually gathered much more attention.
Today, he was up to his sixth match. The five previous ones had all gone badly; he and his teammates were just being farmed as they revived.
If you looked at the chat, you could see the barrage of messages to get a sense of the situation.
“Oh, Arthur, this is going badly…”
“Arthur, you should get your cousin to carry you again. I’ve never seen such an embarrassing streamer before.”
“Just close the stream and go home. Are you even a gamer? You seemed like you could do it before…”

“Haha, you Alliance pigs are so stupid. We Horde players love seeing weaklings like you, so we can slaughter them.”
“Not this again. You haven’t even run into a full team of 15 yet. Dammit, some guy next to Arthur just ran out without their equipment. This is very grim.”
Lu Li thought it was quite grim too. This man wasn’t completely naked, as Dawn wouldn’t let you do that, so he was just running around in his underwear in the desert yelling, “Brothers, you probably know what I’m doing already. Call me daddy, or I’ll kill myself.”
“…”
The Alliance players were speechless.
Every game had its fair share of eccentric characters. These people existed in real life, but only manifested their strangeness in games.
There were some players that did this for money. They would try to force others to pay them by holding the match hostage. Most players could pay a few silver coins for this player to leave, but the worst kind was someone who did this for no reason.
If someone killed themselves, it wouldn’t have a direct impact, but it did mean that the Alliance’s side had less to work with.
In addition, with a teammate always dying, it was a blow to their morale.
Were they really going to have to call him daddy?
“Buddy, I am streaming. Please give me a break!” Arthur cried out. He really wanted to just call him daddy, but he knew that if he did that, he would lose his viewers. He only had 500-600 viewers left, and he would probably be left with fewer than 100.
“Haha, you’re streaming? That’s great,” this guy laughed, seeming to get even more excited.
“I’m not going to call you anything.”
Once they heard that this was being streamed, everyone became even more anxious. If you lost a match in front of a dozen players, who cares? But who knew how many people was watching that stream. There could be 100,000 people and some of them could be friends in real life.
“Should we split up or go together?” Her Tears asked, not even bothering with this person.
“Let’s go together to the Gold Mines first. We’ll kill them and then heard onto the Farms,” Lu Li said as he summoned his Headless Paladin’s Steed and rushed out almost immediately.
The other players were stunned.
They didn’t know who this player was, but they were stunned because of the Headless Paladin’s Steed.
This mount could only be obtained through the Halloween events and was a rare combat drop. There were no more than 100 produced in a sea of millions of players.
They had not expected to see the Headless Paladin in this place.
Some of them were quite frustrated because they had to run on foot.
When they saw Lu Li’s three friends also summon their mounts, they became even more restless.
March Rain and Her Tears were both riding mounts from their own races, but these were mounts that they had seen walk through the street before. The effect of finding out Moonlight was there was not much different from Lu Li. He had acquired the first place on the Warsong Canyon’s Glory Rankings.
In such a random group of players, the gap between the players was immediately obvious.
“Moonlight!”
“Dammit, it’s Great God Moonlight!’
In the minds of the battlefield players, Moonlight and Blood Dagger were the top players. Although Moonlight had not fought in a battlefield for a long time, his reputation was still well known.

The Many Blades of Wuxia
Hundreds of years after the Heretic wars ended, life has returned to its blissful ignorant state that only peace could bring. Whilst the never-ending war between Man, Beast and Mutant rages on, most are not even aware of a war that happened between men. Its prophecies shattered, their remnants surviving only in obscure bard tales. One is about to grow. On the cracked face of the world, Essence storms and Beast Waves keep the citizenry locked atop the Emperor city of Qaelang. Knowledge of the past is as rare as the metals that flow into the hands of Sacred Artists and at the root of it all are whispers of a malignant force, ancient and terrible. Holding humanity back from achieving greatness, but hiding too are secrets best left untouched. Balance, discipline and order have held Qaelang secure since time immemorial, the powers within claiming to adhere to them. None are more fearful of change than the ones with the most to lose, but change is coming. Blade of Wuxia is a long character-focused epic fantasy with progression and growth. It's about a boy's quest to become powerful enough to save those he cares most for and give them a better life. It's set in a world of hidden pasts and uncovering them will set him on a path that shakes the Empire. As this is a rewrite that took on a wildly different spin, reviews are most welcome and help me do better. What can the reader expect? A Wuxia society set in a High fantasy world. People are only doing what they know and may have mistaken beliefs. A clever resourceful protagonist with human flaws A far-reaching hidden fantasy world, rich in history. Multiple points of view are used to follow the story to its natural conclusions, not every NPC has all the answers, but there is one MC in this book. Progression will take time and sometimes even unknowingly. MC is not trained in the ways and knowledge must be tempered against experimentation. Release Schedule. 2 chapters a week, family and work permitting. Only if I'm happy with the chapter will I release it. That being said I am open to revision should an articulated critical response show merit. This story is not completed yet but I do have a general idea of what the end looks like for both MC's (yes both) Ultimately feedback will be most influential on the progression of release as it's you guys I'm looking to entertain. Expected Changes None really, I'm writing as I go and have a path planned for 6 books Chapter release rate might change if we take off and feedback starts flowing, but for now, it is just about making sure Arcs flow smoothly onto the next. Cover, yes absolutely! If there is enough interest I will open a Patreon account and use the first proceeds to commission an EPIC cover and hopefully a few scary artworks of our brave Cultivators and the foes they face.
