Virtual World - The Legendary Thief (网游之盗版神话) by Shi Luo Ye (失落叶)

[Lingson]

Sorry guys, but I have to postpone the release of the next chapter to tomorrow. Due to my throat infection, I can't concentrate today so it's hard for me to do the translation, and I can't finish the translation today. But by tomorrow it should be done (also in the evening since I still have to work on Saturday).

If there are readers from Indonesia in this forum, I've added a new section for the Indonesian translation of this novel on my site (since this is an English forum, I won't post it here). So please visit my site if you wish to read the Indonesian version (currently only chapter 1).

This will not disturb my translation schedule. Translations in other languages (I also plan to do a German translation in the future) will be done in my spare time. I consider it as a language and writing learning process for me.

[HasNoLove]

Chapter 19 (So Many Missions!)

After repairing all my equipment at the weapons shop, I went to the armor shop. Before, when I talked to a boy on the street, I heard that the owner of the armor shop needed some help.

Having said a few words, I got the mission:

<Mission: The Blacksmith's Distress>

Mission Statement: Recently, when Xiu Si the Blacksmith was forging armor for the military, he realized that he lacked an ore to complete his job. This rare copper ore can only be mined at the mountain on the east side of the city. Because of the recent epidemic in the city, the blacksmith apprentice had to help to contain the spreading of the epidemic. So currently, there is no one available to mine the ore. You need to go to the mountain and bring 20 pieces of this rare ore back. But the mining site was usually guarded by monoclaw werewolves. So you should be extra careful!

...

I looked up the information about the monoclaw werewolf. It was a monster of level 18 to 20. With my present level, it might be difficult, but I accepted the mission!

"Ding~!"

System Notification: You get the [Miner's Shovel]! You learned the [Excavation] skill!

I examined the shovel. It was an iron shovel for mining purpose only, no other special attributes, and its attack was also only 1-1!

As I got out of the armor shop, an old Bard singing an ancient ballad in front of the cathedral across the shop, was driven away by a soldier.

I immediately went over and talk to the soldier. He gave me a miserable look and said, "That Bard is singing a ballad prohibited by the Holy Church. If we have to keep driving him away, the Holy Church of the Kingdom might have to burn him to death as punishment!"

When I asked about the prohibited ballad, the soldier immediately went silent. He didn't want to say anything anymore. No matter how I asked, he just told me to quickly go away.

Damn, this is definitely a secret mission!

The Bard packed up his musical instrument and soon disappeared into a small alley. I hurriedly went over to follow him, and asked, "Excuse me, may I ask why the Holy Church prohibited the ballad you were reciting before?"

The Bard raised his face which was wrinkled and dirty. He looked at me with his empty-spirited eyes and said, "Young man, this is a matter from two years ago which many people are already starting to forget about. But Princess Misha is currently still alive and suffering. I used to think that I could save her, but now, it's probably too late."

"Could you tell me more about it? Perhaps I could help in some way!"

"Well, it's like this. Three years ago, an unknown disease had spread through the continent. The kingdom hired many famous healers but was still unable to find a cure for the illness. Even beast shamans were helpless in the face of the crisis. The heir of the kingdom, Princess Misha, also personally went to investigate the source of this disease. But she found nothing. Not only that, two years after her return, she was also infected by a strange disease. Afraid that this disease would spread, the king reluctantly imprisoned the princess in a catacomb on the city's west side. Even worse, recently in the catacomb, a group of evil necromancer had shown up there. Only God knows how long the princess can still be alive!"

The Bard finished his story, but he kept whispering to himself, "If only someone could find the Dailily Grass, the princess might be cured. Why is the king so cruel?"

I immediately replied, "Where can I find that grass? I should be able to help!"

The Bard's eyes was suddenly filled up with hopes, "Really? Young man, are you willing to help me?"

"Ding~!"

System Notification: Will you accept the plea of the Master Healer?

I naturally chose to accept it. The mission then showed up:

[The Healer Master's Entrustment] (Unique)

Mission Statement: Help Lance the Healer to find the Dailily Grass. Dailily grass is a type of plant that grows in the neighbor mountain's valley. It is guarded by Nicholas, the exiled Beastman Shaman. Defeat Nicholas and bring the Dailily Grass to Lance.

...

It turned out that the Bard was actually the famous healer Lance. No wonder he was still so determined to save the princess since he had already found a cure for the princess's illness! This mission should have a follow-up mission afterward. Gauging Lance's character, I didn't think that he had the ability to go against the necromancers to rescue the princess.

After getting those three missions, I keep wandering around in the city for nearly half an hour, but couldn't find missions anymore. It seemed that the missions in the city were also not that much.

I opened the communication option and directly contacted Lu Xue Han, "Have you found any missions already?"

Lu Xue Han said excitedly, "I received a mission to clean up a farm. What about you?"

"I have also received that mission. Let's do it together. Wait for me at the city's east gate!"

"Okay."

Lu Xue Han arrived soon after showing a sweet smile on her beautiful face. So happy just for receiving a mission?

Without saying much, we immediately went to Matthew's farm following the direction indicated in the mission's info. It was getting dark already, and a thick layer of fog also fluttered over the deserted field.

At a place not far away, several shabby wood cabins could be seen scattered on the deserted field. Some strange lizardmen were pacing back and forth through the weeds that were growing vastly all over the place.

"I'll take care of the healing and casting curses, you can focus on the attack!" Lu Xue Han said calmly. It seemed that this girl did have some understanding of the game.

Lu Xue Hand gently waved her small white hand, and a gloomy dark fume began to engulf the nearest lizardman.

[Lizardman]

Level: 13

Attack: ???

Defense: ???

...

I immediately rushed toward it activating the [Heavy Strike] skill, followed by a [Combo]. '142' '52' '58' three numbers popped up above the monster's head. The fast continuous hit had pushed the lizardman body a little backward.

With a Level 1 [Combo] skill, I could only do two continuous attack, and sometimes even only attack once. I was wondering if later on this skill could do a 7 or 8 continuous hits. Since the [Combo] speed was fast, it would also cause a stunned effect on the enemy. This was probably the biggest benefit of the [Combo] skill. A chance for a pre-emptive strike was certainly a good thing.

With Lu Xue Han's curse, I killed the monster quite easily. Sometimes, after I killed 7 or 8 monsters, she would cast [Big Heal] on me. Level 1 [Big Heal] could add +120 HP, quite good, but the activation time of the skill was long. It would take 5 seconds to cast.

We killed the monsters from one field to another. By the time Lu Xue Han and I had cleared the farm from the monsters, we both managed to get all the mission required Lizardmen eyes.

Looking at the time, it was already 9 AM in the morning. It looked like that Xu Lin knew we both were doing a mission, so she didn't call us to eat breakfast. I could still bear it, just didn't know if Lu Xue Han could also bear it or not.

"Are you hungry?" Lu Xue Han asked.

I secretly smiled and answered, "Let's get offline. We'll play again after we eat!"

"Okay."

[KyleSteward]

Thank you for understanding.

All my translations are done by myself. I'm still working solo, no team yet.

Even Indonesian translation?? are you from Indonesia??

[Elsa Lee]

I wonder if a unique mission will give something special

[KyleSteward]

I wonder if a unique mission will give something special

Yup special mission will give MC special skill or special item (like high tier equipment) but mission difficulty will really high and to access duty you need to trigger some conditions

It won't be any soon though. His level still not enough to do high difficulty mission

[Lingson]

Even Indonesian translation?? are you from Indonesia??

Currently I reside in Indonesia. But will be moving to Germany in a few months.

[Leehar]

Can Kyle also not help translate?
Either split chapters or even just assisting in real time while it's being translated? Just thought he can be a great help(or even more so) since he knows what's going on?

[Jateng]

Raw Chapter 97 up is VIP. There are Another site that no VIP.

[Lingson]

Can Kyle also not help translate?

I'll be happy if Kyle would help

[Lingson]

I'm having problem posting the chapter on my site since last night. It's starting to behave strangely again

So I'll post it here first.


Chapter 20 (Precious Ore)

Putting two dropped white equipment into my backpack, Lu Xue Han and I both logged off.

The food was already available on the table. Besides milk and bread, there were also two plates of small fried dishes. Quite surprised, but I immediately warmed up the fried dishes in a microwave oven. Lu Xue Han and I quickly had our meals afterward.

"Lin Fan, I'm almost at Level 11. What about you?" Lu Xue Han asked while chewing the bread.

"Level 13 and a half. Our leveling speed isn't too slow."

"Yes. I don't have any more missions. Do you?"

I thought for a moment before answering, "I still have two missions to do, one of them is a unique one. I think you should practiced alone first. After I finished my missions, I'll go with you again."

Lu Xue Han pouted her lips, unhappily said, "Are you afraid I will be holding you back?"

I explained in a hurry, "That's not it. I'm just afraid that you helping me will slow down your own training."

"No way. Slaying monsters with you, I can level up very quickly. Besides, you want me, a cleric, to train just by myself?"

I agreed with her words, so I nodded and said, "Then, let's do the mission together. When the monsters drop equipment, you can have it."

"How could you say that. You are the one helping me with leveling up. I don't want the equipment!"

"Let's make it this way. If it's an item that you can use, then you'll take it."

"Okay."

After a few minutes of the small debate, Lu Xue Han and I went back into our room to log in back to the game immediately.

The lizardmen had not re-spawned yet, so we continued to walk to the east. In a distance, we could see the outline of the neighbor mountain.

We encountered several types of monsters along the way, Level 14 Carrion Vultures, Level 16 Savage Werewolves, Level 17 Mutated Gray Wolves... Clearing all the monsters along our path, half an hour later, we arrived at the foothills of Half Side Mountain. I had leveled up to Level 11, while Lu Xue Han was still at Level 11 which she had reached 20 minutes ago. Looking at the other girls' status, I noticed Lin sister and Xin Yu were still struggling to reach Level 10, while the others were still at Level 8. And the friend that I had never met in real, Murong Shan Shan, had reached Level 11. Apparently, after getting the green sword, her leveling speed had increased significantly.

Lu Xue Han pointed at the front, said excitedly, "Look, it's the monoclaw werewolf. I can't see its level. Can we succeed?"

"It's a Level 18 monster. Let's lure one to find out."

Lu Xue Han used a curse right away on the nearest monoclaw werewolf to aggro it, while I also stand in front of her to tank. A beautiful arc appeared in the air as I activated [Heavy Strike] on the werewolf. '123'. The damage dealt wasn't disappointing at all, but Lu Xue Han was in awe when the werewolf only hit me with 34 damages. She promptly used her [Big Heal] to restore my health. But still, when I finally killed the werewolf, I only had less than half health left.

Giving Lu Xue Han a few small blue potions that the werewolf just dropped, still panting, I said, "We don't need to kill all the monsters. We should head directly to the mountain's foothill and just kill the monsters on our path. The ore should be on the hillside."

"Okay. I'll lure the monsters, you just focus on killing them. Our stock of blue potions should be sufficient for us to clear the path."

I nodded. For safety's sake, I also drank a bottle of ketchup, ready for the next fight.

Both of us walked along the rocks carefully, avoiding a group of monoclaw werewolves that were sitting in front of a bonfire. We had no clue what they were talking about. After practicing for 2 days, Lu Xue Han already seemed to adapt to this fast pace game, as she was able to control her movement flawlessly. Twice we encountered some monsters, and each time she expertly used her curse to lure the monsters towards me so I could finish them. But there were also times when she would make me worried leaving me with low health on distress situations. Heaven knows if I would be safe in her hands this way.

A few minutes later, Lu Xue Han suddenly stopped, "Lin Fan, look over there, behind the monsters. Those glowing yellow lights, isn't it the ore you are looking for?"

I immediately open the mission info. That's correct, that was the rare copper that I needed!

Lu Xue Han started to lure the monsters at once, and with her help, I killed 4 Level 18 monsters one after another. This time the luck was good as Heaven has finally opened its eyes. After 8 hours of nothing of worth, at last we got a piece of green equipment again!

[Werewolf's Guardian] (Shield - Green equipment)

Defense: 42

Stamina: +2

Strength: +1

Others: Increase the wearer's Dodge rate by +2%

Required Level: 12

...

A shield. Unfortunately, as a Swordsman I couldn't equip a shield. Only Knights that pursuit the path of defense could use it. But a shield that add 42 Defense was too overpowered. A knight with this kind of shield in the early stages would be like an iron tank.

Lu Xue Han laughingly said, "This equipment is quite good. We should be able to sell it for quite some money, right?"

"Yes. In three more days, the price of the shield will reach the peak. There will be a large number of Knights since the players would already have changed class. Such a high-quality shield will surely become a best seller item. After we sell it, we'll split the commission half-half."

Lu Xue Han chuckled, "We'll do as you say. Ah, you should hurry mine the ore, otherwise the monsters will respawn again."

I nodded and walked over, replaced my sword with the iron shovel, then used it to mine the ore. It turned out that the progress bar also began to fill slowly.

"Ding~!"

System Notification: You get [Rare Copper] x5!

The copper ore began to disappear, but I had only 5 pieces of ore in my inventory. It seemed that this mission could not be finished with mining only once.

"Let's continue to search for the ore. I haven't gotten enough for the mission. Think of it as a practice to level up."

Lu Xue Han nodded while saying, "Alright. By the way, about the dinner you're inviting us all to, have you talked to Lin sister about the time? I'm really looking forward to it!"

Girls were always gluttonous. I glanced at Lu Xue Han's flat belly, smiled and said, "Don't be too excited. You will get a fat belly!"

"Hmph, that won't happen!"

...

As we keep slaying Level 18 monsters, the experiences that the Level 11 Lu Xue Han and the Level 14 me gained were really impressive. Especially for Lu Xue Han. She had a 7 level difference with the monsters where she couldn't even see the monster's level. The experience she gained must be enormous, it could be seen from her happy appearance.

After searching for almost 7 hours at the foothill, we cleared monsters at several sites. I finally got enough ore to complete the mission. While Lu Xue Han had risen her level from Level 11 to Level 13, I was also already at Level 15 and a half. Too bad, we never got another equipment beside the shield, even though we had risen our level that much and killed so many monsters all afternoon. This was clearly evidence of <Moon Monochrome>'s low drop rate. Only in rare occasions would players get a green equipment drop if they were only fighting monsters with the same level with them.

Soon after, our stomach began to rebel, and it was also already 5:00 PM. With my current level, I could not complete the rest of the missions. So I told Lu Xue Han to go offline, and then notify the others to log off to drink wine together.

Would you mind to post a screen shot of it? Or perhaps posting the report from your antivirus?

My Avast didn't report anything, and I also try using online scanner to scan the site but they reported no problems. I also use several plugins to check for malware or threat on my site which all reported nothing.

Could it be a false-positive from your antivirus?

Thanks for the chapter!

[Lingson]

This link is suspicious. We tested it and found potential security risks. Be careful this is wht it said and redirects it to virus warning site when try to access the site

I also tested it again with wordfence, and other anti malware plugins. Still nothing (That's why I never use McAfee anymore since ages.. Too often false positives)

All the plugins that I used are free ones and downloaded directly from the repository, not from other places. So it should be safe.
