Lu Li

About.
Lu Li is the protagonist in The Great Thief.

He reincarnated after not being able to save his sister, Lu Xin. In his new life, he'll stand at the top of the game Dawn in order to be able to pay for his sister's treatment.

Appearance.
 Beginning: 

Lu Li’s looks were extremely ordinary, and his face was a yellowish-black colour. But, he had a silent and calm air about him, which attracted the attention of girls. He has a muscular and scar-ridden chest. The scars on his body seemed quite cool and mysterious.

Only his eyes stood out amongst his facial features. People would probably remember his eyes in their first encounter with him.

 Later stages: 

His gaunt face had already grown rounder. It no longer reflected the dark complexion of when he was within the slums, struggling to survive. His life had improved, his mannerisms no longer seemed so aggressive, and he was no longer troubled or cold. As of late, there were no new scars and the scars that existed before were less pronounced. On the contrary, they had a special appeal, and would lead some to feel as if they represented a man with an interesting story.

Upon wearing the clothes that were picked for him, he immediately separated himself from the youthful, rebellious vibe. His new attire matched his hair style well and conveyed a sense of stability and reliability. Although Lu Li was not the most attractive man out there, he definitely complemented Water Fairy. In fact, they looked very much like a couple – this was the conclusion of the chatter amongst the store assistants.

Personality.
Though Lu Li isn't particularly handsome, he is described to be an intelligent, temperate, and calm person. His personality appears to have matured early due to the sense of responsibility over raising his younger sister by himself.

Lu Li's lack of luck is often mentioned throughout the novel. At his first instance dungeon, his partymates complained about his unluckiness, saying that "all this time, your roll points have never exceeded 20."

History.
He was born to two unnamed parents in the Common District. Around the age of eight or nine, he stopped attending school so that he could take care of Lu Xin after their parents' deaths.

He experienced a "sort of rebirth" after failing to save his sister, Lu Xin, from an unspecified illness.

After his rebirth, the first thing he did was join Star Moon Union as a Gold Collection member, swearing that he could "earn 20 gold per week," where 20 gold was equivalent to nearly 200,000 dollars at that time. Though he often mentions that "Dawn" is not a game to be played solo, he also expresses his wishes to leave the guild as soon as possible. This along with his "doubtful" and "disobedient" actions leads to tense relations with the rest of the guild. Soon after, he left the guild properly by paying the double penalty for gaming helmet he had obtained for free.

During his period in Dawn as a Star Moon Union Gold Collection member, he meets various players who would eventually become the first half of the Xin Xin Mercenary Group, including Azure Sea Breeze, March Rain and Lonesome Flower, Moonlight, and Remnant Dream. He also develops relations with Grand Hegemony's Drinking Alone, Northern Tang Kitty, and Northern Tang Dream, as well as receive his first 1 vs. 1 challenge from Water Fairy. In addition, he obtains the Supreme One Ring.

In Chapter 20: Kill Stealing, when he first runs into Lonesome Flower and March Rain, he also runs into several Imperial Secret Service members, who attempts to steal their almost dead Wolf-type Elite monster that was needed for a quest. In retaliation, Lu Li kills all five of the members who attempted to steal his kill despite their surrender. In fact, when the Imperial Secret Service members mentioned their guild, he only became more motivated to kill them. His post-commentary:"What those unfortunate eggheads didn't know, was that once they spoke the words Imperial Secret Service, they had sealed their fates. As long as a person was part of the Imperial Secret Service, Lu Li was determined to immediately kill them."The truth is Lu Li had bad blood with the Imperial Secret Service in his previous life. Back then, one of the unions hunting him was the Imperial Secret Service. For the sake of treating his sister's illness, he attempted to apologize to a high level member, both personally and publicly. However, he was ambushed by Imperial Secret Service and killed without reason.

Craftsman Trade Profession
"Lu Li had planned on learning the Craftsman Trade Profession to make jewelry. (Chapter 14)"

Because jewelry, especially gender-specific jewelry, sold at a high price, Lu Li planned on learning the Craftsman profession to create jewelry. It is mentioned that he requires a total of 2 Jade Spider Webs to level up to an intermediate level. He mentions that he requires 12 Jade Spider Webs total.

Garona could summon him whenever she wanted to, but there was a long cooldown time for Lu Li making a request to see her, which was 1 week.

Attack Style.
Lu Li's attack style can be described as a "single movement." Though it appears that his high skill completion is what sets him apart, it is foreshadowed intermittently that a high skill completion (maybe not as high as Lu Li's) will be achieved other experts. However, unlike others players were there is a slight delay between each attack, Lu Li practices his attacks in a way to allow absolutely no delays between each skill.

In comparison, the continuous string of attacks generally stun-locks the opponent till Lu Li whittles the opponent down.
