Chapter 999: Calling Him a Teacher

Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations

Even though this was an unfair fight, Lu Li frankly didn’t care very much about this Warrior.

After that one encounter, Lu Li already knew the level difference between them. The Warrior was a level 46 Berserker while Lu Li was a level 50 Thief. Even if Lu Li was wearing Silver equipment, he would win.

“What if I lose?” Lu Li wondered curiously.

“Lose...? If you lose, then you lose,” the Warrior snorted.

“Alright then, let’s get started. You’re fighting a Thief as a Warrior, and you’ve even got a group of Hunters to use Flare.”

Lu Li had attempted to go into the Stealth but was immediately revealed under the Flares that had already been cast.

This obviously wasn’t the first time that this Warrior had done this sort of thing. There were also onlookers, pointing and watching.

“Ruined Jimo really is shameless; look at that poor Thief.”

“Don’t talk nonsense – Ruined Jimo is the child of a rich family but he still likes to play PVP. The only problem is that his strength and skills are quite weak, so he has to do this.”

“But this Thief looks quite calm... Maybe there is some hope.”

“Why does it matter whether the Thief is calm or not? It’s not like he is going to beg for mercy; it’s just a game after all. The main question is whether he is going to drop an item.”

“He doesn’t even need to worry about dropping equipment. Ruined Jimo is actually kind enough to return any items that are dropped. Sigh, I don’t really understand the thought process of these rich people. They have it so good in real life, but they come into this game looking for trouble anyway.”

With all these players surrounding them, the battle had begun.

Ruined Jimo opened with a direct Charge. He could clearly see Lu Li and the circle of players around them wasn’t that large. He was sure that he could land this ability.

Despite the fact that everyone thought this was a foolproof move, he managed to miss it

Lu Li didn’t even react at the moment he started the Charge – this was an advanced technique. From the start of the game until now, 80% of all Berserkers chose to start every fight with Charge. The skill had been practiced by countless players for countless hours. Masters of this skill were actually able to change direction midway, so if you evaded too quickly, they would be able to re-adjust to hit you.

Lu Li waited until his window to escape almost closed before moving.

By taking just half a step, Ruined Jimo’s Charge flew right past Lu Li.

Well, he didn’t really fly past, because he was stunned nearly immediately after. Lu Li had cast Sap at just the right time upon dodging the Charge.

The Charge didn’t hit Lu Li, so naturally, he hadn’t entered battle yet and Sap was still available.

Ruined Jimo stood there for a long time, patiently waiting for Sap’s duration to expire. The Warrior wasn’t afraid of Lu Li making the first attack. The moment Sap’s effect came to an end, he would launch his counterattack.

It was almost time!

Ruined Jimo was counting down; Lu Li didn’t have much time left to make his move.

It seemed like Lu Li was going to attack at the very last second, but Ruined Jimo almost vomited blood at what happened. He had been hit with another Sap.

This Thief was taking it too far!

Technically speaking, the role of Sap was to guarantee the first attack. Why was he continuously using Sap? It was such a dumb thing to do.

Lu Li had deliberately cast Sap again and intended to continue playing like this. Under the scrutiny of the players around him, Ruined Jimo must have wanted to die than to face this humiliation.

The Warrior had started to become angry!

Ruined Jimo simply used his Badge and immediately cast Trample. When Berserkers wanted to catch a Thief, this was generally the trick that they would use. All he had to do was stomp his foot on the ground.

But was Lu Li going to give him the chance to use Trample?

Just as he lifted his foot, Lu Li cast Cheap Shot and kept Ruined Jimo stunned.

Ever since the start of the fight, he hadn’t had the chance to turn around to face Lu Li.

Lu Li then quickly emptied out his HP and defeated him, after which he was quickly revived by a nearby Healer.

Lu Li could see that these Hunters were well trained. It was likely that these players were trained for this kind of role. It didn’t seem like Ruined Jimo was an unreasonable person, so Lu Li didn’t immediately leave.

After Ruined Jimo got up, he looked at Lu Li like they were still in battle.

It was clear that he was angry at Lu Li; he had been humiliated by the back-to-back Saps.

In fact, Ruined Jimo’s anger had already boiled over within him.

He didn’t lose a single point of HP! Lu Li didn’t lose even a single point of HP!

Ruined Jimo was speechless. Over the course of the whole battle, he didn’t have a chance to hit Lu Li even once.

This was not just a slight difference in strength; they were in completely different leagues.

“Uh...” Ruined Jimo’s gaze began to look more eager as he said in a flattering tone, “Master, can I call you teacher?”

“Call me teacher?” Lu Li was a little moved, but didn’t show it on his face. “What teacher? I don’t think there is such a function in this game, right?”

“Hehe,” Ruined Jimo laughed,”Just because it’s not there, doesn’t mean it won’t be there.”

Lu Li just stared at him. He knew that it would appear later from his past experience, but he didn’t remember when. However, it was definitely not something that was coming soon. How did this person know that the teacher system would come out?”

But after he thought about it, he came to a realization.

Everything in this game, including the strategies, were created by people. As such, there was no such thing as a true secret.

Nevertheless, information that came from Dawn’s company was bound to eventually leak out.

“Don’t look at me like that. I know that there will be a teacher system too,” Ruined Jimo said as he smiled bitterly.

“Forget it.” Lu Li shook his head.

“Forget what?”

“Forget about calling me teacher.”

“Why?” Ruined Jimo was dumbfounded. Although he wasn’t very strong, he knew about the teacher system ahead of time. Even a Master would want to know more about this information. Why would he still not want to be friends with him?

Why would Lu Li reject his offer?

In fact, it was even better to be a teacher than a friend; Ruined Jimo was basically giving Lu Li control over him...

This wasn’t something that he would do casually!

In Ruined Jimo’s heart, he sneered at Lu Li. Not only did he know that there was going to be a teacher system, but also a husband and wife system in future.

Ruined Jimo watched dumbly as Lu Li took the two items from the pot and left. He soon realized that he had just been abandoned. He was the son of a high-ranking family in China, a president of a large group of companies who managed thousands of people, but someone had just turned their back on him.
