The Great Thief Chapter 1423 – The Most Shameless
Chapter 1423: The Most Shameless
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“Are you sure you want this one?” The supervisor felt a headache coming on.
The speed of the phoenix transformation wasn’t particularly fast, and neither was its flying speed. Even though Lu Li had learned the Crow Transformation from Medivh, he wouldn’t be able to fly faster than Hachi Chan’s Butterfly Transformation.
However, the key aspect was that the Phoenix can be reborn. Once Water Fairy learned this skill, she would gain the ability to regenerate once a day.
The other two options didn’t have this ability.
Of course, since this transformation had been revealed, it meant that this was possible within the System’s rules. All three of these transformations were unique, and were only granted once by the System in special circumstances.
“Yes, I’ll take this one,” Water Fairy said without hesitation.
This was barely a choice – there was the ugly green parrot, a grey owl and a phoenix. One of them was clearly better than the rest.
“I should remind you that if you choose the Phoenix, you will have to wait a while because the step of the quest involves a new map.”
There was nothing else that the supervisor could do now.
The Phoenix was better than the other two options, but the process for acquiring it was more troublesome. Water Fairy had to go to a new map to get it, which meant that she couldn’t acquire it quickly.
“That’s fine. If its late then its late,” Water Fairy insisted.
“As for your ring… this is a coincidence, but you will also have to wait until a new map is opened before you can upgrade it further,” the supervisor said. “However, I can give you a hint. Go to the Throne of the Elements to try your luck. You have killed quite a few Bosses, so your next upgrade will definitely be very impressive.”

This was a frustrating response. Even though he had a better understanding of the game than most, he still wouldn’t be able to upgrade the Supreme Ring to the fourth level.
“That’s it?” Lu Li was dissatisfied.
“My hands are tied. You should know that I don’t have control over every aspect of the game. At most, I can only provide a little bit of information. If something goes wrong, I will be held responsible,” the supervisor sighed bitterly.
From a business operations perspective, the transaction that was happening between him and this couple was fine, but public opinion was a completely different matter.
“You can rest assured that everything will be kept confidential, but I do have one more request,” Lu Li the exploiter said.
The supervisor looked at Lu Li’s mouth as it moved. He felt like the person in front of him was trying to take advantage of him.
“I can only fulfil three requests, no more. It’s not just me either; my boss will say the same thing.”
I know that the Couple System will come with a pair of rings. Is that right?” Lu Li asked, not bothering to address his concerns.
“Yes, as long as the relationship status is confirmed, you will get the pair of rings.”
The supervisor had a bad feeling about this.
“We already have the pocket watches, so what can the rings do for us?” Lu Li asked.
“Oh… there is nothing we can do about it. You got the pocket watches yourselves.”
The supervisor was about to cry.
“My request is not that demanding. Why are you giving me that look?” Lu Li was speechless.
Water Fairy let out a grin.
“Okay, what is it?”
The supervisor relaxed his shoulders. He understood that Lu Li was synonymous with shamelessness. The Goddess Water Fairy was complicit too; she was smiling in the face of this shamelessness.

“Replace the ring with something else. I don’t believe that the couples are only given rings. Such items that have no form of advancement are boring,” Lu Li said confidently.
“How about the double Mount?” the supervisor suggested.
Lu Li and Water Fairy looked at each other and shook their heads. What use would they have for a double Mount? It was totally useless. If Lu Li wasn’t playing with Water Fairy, then Lu Li would just be riding it alone. The double Mount was the most popular item among couples, because it was quite romantic.
“What about a True Orange Heart?” the supervisor continued, then went on to explain, “This is a must have item. If you don’t have it, you will have to get it from the store for 100 gold coins. Ms. Shen could wear it, and she might even want to wear 999 of these.”
Lu Li just stared at him.
“Haha, that was just a joke. What about some fashion items for couples?”
Before Lu Li responded, the supervisor already knew the answer.
“Seems like you aren’t interested. Just tell me what you want.”
In fact, the supervisor wanted to just turn around and leave.
Unfortunately, he still had to grant the requests.
This guy was the most shameless of them all. They had already agreed on three requests, but now he was trying to get even more.
However, Lu Li was right. The biggest reward for the Couple System was the ring, and it was useless for Lu Li and Water Fairy. If you didn’t compensate for this crucial part of the System, you were simply asking for it.
“It’s quite simple. Just let us combine the Pocket Watch and a Badge,” Lu Li said, revealing his true intentions for the first time.
The pocket watch was a type of badge, so if you used it, you had to replace your current badge. If he and Water Fairy wanted to get the Regeneration effect, they had to equip the pocket watch which was equivalent to having one less item equipped.
Although Stamina could be regenerated, it came at the cost of Strength. It was a trade-off.
Of course, Lu Li wanted better than that. If he could combine it into a piece of equipment, it would be much better.
“I can’t do that. I don’t have the ability to mess with items,” the supervisor refused.
“I don’t think my request is too demanding. I think you will find a way to do it.”
Lu Li had made such a bold request, so naturally, he would try to insist on it.
In fact, Dawn’s Game Company generally didn’t interfere with equipment. For combining two pieces of equipment, there was a special item that could do this. However, this could also be achieved with a scroll. The problem was that Lu Li didn’t know where to obtain such a scroll.
After calming down, the supervisor seriously considered ways to talk Lu Li out of this, or… to find a way to fulfil this request.
He negotiated with Water Fairy and Lu Li, and contacted some staff in the conference room.
Soon, an answer was returned. A team member of the design department had found a way to combine equipment – there was indeed such a scroll. Once this scroll was obtained from the quest, it could be used to combine two badges into one.
This item was actually not that valuable.
The most common item among the players was the camp badge, or the Adventurer’s Exploration Badge.
But apart from this, it was difficult for ordinary players to find special equipment, let alone special equipment from the same category. As such, there were few people that had the opportunity to use it.
When picking out quest awards, almost no one would choose this scroll.

Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown.
