Chapter 471: Not Short On Money
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On this day, Li Yi got out of bed very late.
Lin Qian has come and caused havoc in his life. However, he did not go to Lin Qian directly. Instead, he logged on the game as usual.
The scene was still the same. He was at Wind-gazing Cape, but there was no one around him. Sister Windcloud Nine has waited for him for more than 20 hours, but she could not fight her exhaustion and has finally fell sleep.
Li Yi stood up and after he resurrected, his inbox started pinging non-stop.
The fact that he was being spawn camped has caused so big of an impact that all players on the Invincible Continent had known about it. The entire Iron Alliance was enraged and has launched a sudden attack at the Western Continent last night.
More than a million people had joined in the fight, and nine of the major cities under the Windcloud Clan of the Western Continent was snatched away. The Windcloud Clan has suffered major losses.
When he finally understood what was going on, Li Yi had no idea whether he should laugh or cry. He never knew that this incident would have such big repercussions.
When he checked the messages in his inbox, Li Yi found a message from Brother Windcloud Nine.
“Why did you deliberately lose the fight?”
Brother Windcloud Nine was not the same as Sister Windcloud Nine. When he was PKing Li Yi, he had already guessed that Li Yi was deliberately trying to lose. When Li Yi dropped Brother Nine’s item after he died, Brother Nine’s suspicions were further confirmed.
It was normal that things in a character’s bag will drop once they die. However, would there be an instance where a whole set of equipment would drop all at once? It was impossible that they had dropped due to a kill. Instead, it was obvious that they were dropped by Li Yi himself before he died...
Once he had seen through Li Yi’s intentions, how would Brother Windcloud Nine have any pride in spawn camping him? Only Sister Windcloud Nine was kept in the dark, and only she stayed to foolishly camp for Li Yi.
When he saw Brother Windcloud Nine’s message, Li Yi smiled and replied, “You’ve must’ve seen wrongly. I’m just too unlucky, and you’ve won this time around.”
“Tell me the truth, or I, Old Nine, will not do anything but nag you about it every day!” Brother Windcloud Nine’s reply came back quickly.
“The truth is, all of this was just a misunderstanding. I never intended to kill your wife, and it was pure coincidence that your wife had died by my hands multiple times. I didn’t have a choice too...”
Li Yi sent Brother Windcloud Nine the video that he recorded of Sister Windcloud Nine running into a leap of clouded leopards when she saw him.
“We’re from different factions, so it’s normal for us to fight each other. I returned your equipment because I don’t want to have any misunderstandings between us. If you are unwilling to accept that, we could go at each other any time you want.”
Brother Windcloud Nine was silent and did not reply for a long time after that.
Li Yi summoned the Automated Repairs Vending Robot. This engineered product is very powerful because it could be used to repair, purchase ordinary medicine, and use mail at any time, anywhere. Only Engineers above Master Level could summon it, and it could be used by any players that could see it, including enemy players.
“Hello, my dear friend, I’ll only be around for ten minutes.”
The little robot with a light appearance chirped at Li Yi, turning in circles with a red light blinking on its head.
Li Yi opened the portable mail system, keyed in Brother Mooncloud Nine’s name and sent 100 million Gold Coins over.
“What are you doing?” Brother Windcloud Nine sent him a message. He further added,
“I will take full responsibility for my loss. I, Old Nine will never readily accept this instance where you have deliberately lost to me. I’ll give you the money, and I’ll add on some to buy my equipment back from you.”
Ding Ding Ding!
The mail chimed once more, and Brother Windcloud Nine has returned the 100 million Gold Coins to Li Yi and added another 30 million on top of it.
This person... really was not short on money huh.
Li Yi was speechless for a long moment.
“No matter if this issue was a misunderstanding, I, Old Nine, will be willing to trust you this time based on your previous actions. However, your Iron Alliance has destroyed nine of our major cities, and there was no way that I’m going to let this go. I’ll get all of them back from you sooner or later.”
“I’ll always welcome your challenge!”
Li Yi took the money out of the portable mail system. This time, it was not that he did not want to give the money. Instead, it was the other party that refused to take it.
What the f*ck even happened. This time, he actually wanted to be the kid that delivers money to others. He ended up with an additional 30 million instead...
Li Yi rode on the Black-feathered Golden Eagle and flew away.
Right after Li Yi has just left, Sister Windcloud Nine had come online and continued to spawn camp the spot he fell while hugging her staff.
Li Yi took out the Divine Looking Glass and typed in the name Gongsun Chuqian. With a light tap on it, he saw the System Notification.
[The player does not exist...]
Lin Qian still have not logged on the game. There was a three-month gap between now and when she was supposed log on in his past life.
When Li Yi was rushing back, he issued an order for all of Iron Alliance to stop attacking the major cities of the Windcloud Clan.
Currently, most of the guilds were focusing their efforts onto levelling up their characters to prepare for the Glory dungeons. It was obvious that having a war at this point in time was extremely inappropriate, and would only serve to allow other guilds to overtake them during a time of weakness.
Even though Arthur of the Southern Continent was less influential than before, the players in the Southern Continent were greatly skilled in individual combat that if the extremely powerful Li Yi was not around for the Eastern Continent this time, the Eastern Continent would have fallen to the two other continents.
Becoming the king of the continent was just the first step to success. The second step was to become the emperor that was recognized across three continents and to reign over them!
The Iron Alliance was developing well now, and it was more than enough for them to maintain their country’s ruling status within the continent. However, it was still miles away from the ultimate goal of ruling the entire world...
Li Yi remembered how Jiaojiao would question him repeatedly, “You don’t care about your equipment nor your money. Now, you barely pay attention to your title as the king! What are you actually chasing after in this game?”
“I’m chasing after you.”
“F*ck off, I’m being serious here.”
Li Yi would always stop the line of questioning with a smile here. He would look annoyingly gleeful, and would always piss off Miss Jiao so bad that she would always lunge and bite him a few times.
Confused Fox has asked him similar questions before too. Even Flower Underpants has asked him about it during the Celebrity Interview. However, he had never said the truth no matter who was asking.
Everyone has a dream, and Li Yi was not much different from everyone else.
Once Li Yi has returned to the Celestial Capital, two women came to him at the same time.
The first one was Autumn Love. Since this lady has bought herself a piece of land in the Celestial Capital to open a System-certified casino, she has faced nothing but utter tragedy.
She has spent quite a sum on marketing fees, but only a small amount of players would come to her casino and play. Her identity as a closed beta tester has caused other players to entirely shun her.
Basically, none of them was willing to be conned by her anymore.
A business without customers meant that it was a money-losing proposition. Autumn Love was finally broke.
“Brother Dark Wing, you must help me, your good sister has suffered immense losses... Boohoohoo...”
Autumn Love’s cries were not pretty, her tears were all over the place and looking absolutely pathetic. She tugged tightly at Li Yi’s arm, and she was a hair away from kneeling before him.
The other woman that came to Li Yi was Milk Dipper Solitary’s ex-wife, Hua Feihua. She was also here to seek help from Li Yi.
After the devastating annihilation in the Glory dungeons, the alliance between Brother Windcloud Nine and Defiantly Tyrannical has been entirely broken. Once both parties were transported out of the dungeon, they had taken to fight each other without mercy. In the end, it was the Windcloud Clan that crushed the Three Major Guild Alliance by outnumbering them.
Defiantly Tyrannical was frustrated and insulted at the same time, but he had no chance to prevail against Brother Windcloud Nine. In the end, he has issued a kill order within the Three Major Guild Alliance towards the Huashan Guild in an attempt to vent his anger.
A lean camel will still be bigger than a horse. Even if the Three Major Guild Alliance was not doing great currently, the Huashan Guild was still incomparable to them.
Defiantly Tyrannical led the people himself to slaughter Scumbag Wang and his men in the hiding place of the Pinewood Brigands.
This time, all was lost for Leader Scum. He had fallen time and time again after he was repeatedly killed, and the set of equipment that Defiant Mountain Gun has dropped before he ‘died’ was all lost after the repeated deaths. His losses were immeasurable.
However, to Defiantly Tyrannical, this slaughter was just the beginning. He had given his word to kill Scumbag Wang so much that Scumbag Wang would drop all the way back to Level 0 and to entirely disband the Huashan Guild.
The slaughter carried on. The meager battle powers that Huashan Guild could muster up was nothing against the Three Major Guild Alliance. They would die right after they stood up, and it only took a dozen more kills for Scumbag Wang and the others to lie unmoving on the ground.
“Scumbag Wang, you’re a f*cking scumbag aren’t you? Stand up, then. Stand up and act like a scum now, why don’t you?”
“I, Leader Scum, will not stand up if your mom doesn’t do so too.”
“You motherf*cking c*nt, I’ll take your surname if I fail to kill you until you’re Level 0.”
“Oh, shouldn’t that be a given? What else would your surname be?”
“Godd*mn it you son of a b*tch!”
Scumbag Wang lied down on the floor but still refused to bend to the wills of the aggressors. His potty mouth was at full blast, and it was true that any player that decided to go against him would need to first defend themselves against that mouth of his.
“This freaking idiotic System and its senseless changes. Why would dead people be allowed to speak? It’s so despicable!” Defiantly Tyrannical roared in anger.
“I’ll pay anyone who could f*ck this guy up all the way 10,000 Gold Coins!”
Since the scumbag was not afraid of being killed and would carry on with his insults, Defiantly Tyrannical could only use the final card hidden in his sleeves.
Money was always the best motivator. Someone voiced out an idea – since Scumbag Wang was most smitten with Hua Feihua, he would definitely be depressed if Hua Feihua was killed.
“Who is Hua Feihua?”
“She’s the sister of Hua Feiwu, the Guild Master of the Century Flower Guild. She’s also the ex-wife of Milk Dipper Solitary from the Savage Tribe.”
“Let’s kill her!”
Just like that, bad luck has befallen Hua Feihua. With the kill order from the Three Major Guild Alliances, she was killed seven times and has dropped three pieces of equipment...
“Brother Dark Wing, only you could help me now. Please, you must help me...”
Hua Feihua tugged at Li Yi’s other arm and pleaded non-stop.
Two women tugged at him from both sides, and the scene was almost writing itself into a scandal.
Thankfully, not many people were looking at him.
Li Yi managed to escape using Teleport.
He had no intentions to intervene with the issues that both Autumn Love and Hua Feihua were stuck in.
He was a mere player, not a hero that would right any injustice he laid eyes upon. He still had so many problems of his own that he needed to solve, there was no time for him to stick his nose in another person’s business.
Issues that were none of his concerns should just get out of his way!
“O handsome passerby, do you need any special services?”
A tempting and seductive voice was heard. Only then did Li Yi realized that he has Teleported himself into Shattered Frost City.
The sexy Kelly was still calling out to attract more customers. Countless of people swarmed the dozens of reinforcement furnaces in the area. Her business was booming.
Voice messages from Autumn Love and Hua Feihua pinged in his inbox. Li Yi immediately blocked them, entirely uninterested.
“Sir Military Advisor, don’t you want to come and give it a try?”
Li Yi smiled and shook his head. Just as he wanted to take his leave, he suddenly realized a scantily-clad female Wizard was standing behind Kelly.
That was Katrana, the human form of the Black Dragon Princess, no?
Li Yi widened his eyes and brightened up.
Last time, the Black Dragon Princess has escaped at Low Health. Li Yi had searched far and wide for her but to no avail.
Why would the Black Dragon Princess appear in Scattered Frost City again?
Was it the same Black Dragon Princess as before?
“Yo, Sir Military Advisor, you’re really coming for a taste hmm?”
Kelly came up to him seductively.
“I’ll get to you later.”
Li Yi reached to pinch Kelly’s soft cheeks before stepping towards the Black Dragon Princess.
Even though Kelly was merely an intelligent NPC, the touch and feel of her were exactly the same as any other human players. The King of Pantheon’s High Realism has lived up to its reputation.
“Katrana!”
Li Yi yelled at the Black Dragon Princess, standing right in front of her.
