1276 Sneakily (1/2)

In trying to discover the second poison, Lu Li continued using the Dragon Claw Grass but chose a higher level herb for its complement. Unfortunately, the process failed in the last moment.

Trial and error didn't seem to be particularly reliable. It seemed that the best way to learn about poisons was to read the books that Garona had given him, rather than to blindly try his luck. His first success could now be clearly attributed to sheer chance.

With a pile of books, Lu Li left the castle.

He was going to find a team of Mages to farm for him before finding a place to sit down and read. This wasn't unusual in Dawn; there were some people who would scan documents to read in-game.

For example, an accountant could write his report and a network administrator could have his notes next to him. Even Sorrowless could handle his guild's affairs while letting a group of Mages farm for him.

Because of this, there were many professional players that specialized in doing this.

There were a few star players that did this, but many would just train, farm and sell equipment.

However, Lu Li had to see Water Fairy first. It had cost her quite a bit of time and effort for this last quest. Although any Thief could have done what she did, he really would end up a bachelor for life if he kept on thinking like that.

Lu Li thought that Garona would summon Water Fairy, but she didn't.

However, Garona still gave Water Fairy a reward through Lu Li. The first was the 'Dawn of All Beings' Pocket Watch and the book that strengthened the Gouge skill.

Enhanced Gouge was quite a valuable reward. They had just completed a quest that took one day, and they didn't have to die hundreds of times. Gouge was a very important skill in a Thief's repertoire, so it would have been worthwhile to receive this Skill Book regardless.

Presumably, Water Fairy would be very satisfied.

The more troublesome thing was the Dawn of All Beings Pocket Watch, as Lu Li was more hesitant to give it to Water Fairy.

He might have had a lower EQ, which was likely brought on by the environment that he was raised in, but he wasn't an idiot. He knew exactly what people would think if both of them wore an accessory like this.

Previously, when they said that they were dating, he could explain that they were just in a cooperative relationship. However, after wearing this pair of pocket watches, that explanation wouldn't cut it anymore.

The common thing was to say that this pocket watch would make doing quests together in future more convenient…

In general, boys that were chasing a girl would use this excuse. If the girl refused, that would

mean that she knew about this strategy, but if she accepted, then the boy would have succeeded. Regardless of whether this girl had feelings for him, there would be a great opportunity.

Although he didn't mind getting involved, Lu Li wasn't a particularly sensitive person.

He contacted Water Fairy directly and met at the Hyacinth Tavern in Stormwind city. This location had been recommended by Square Root 3 as it was very quiet and suitable for talking when they didn't want to be disturbed.

Most of the players' taverns had their own style, otherwise, it was impossible to compete with the System's taverns.

When Lu Li walked in, he found that the environment of the tavern was very warm and welcoming – it felt more like a café. However, Lu Li wasn't sure as he had never stepped into a café in his life.

In terms of colour, there was more white and orange, which were Lu Xin's favourite colours.
