Chapter 119: That Word
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Consolidating Little Drunk Cat Guild was Li Yi’s plan all along.
The guild members were divided from level 1 to level 9, and Guild Points could be earned from participating in guild activities. Once their Guild Points had fulfilled a certain requirement, they could be promoted. The higher they were promoted, the more benefits they enjoyed. Then once they get promoted to level 9, they could enjoy guild benefits and proceed to enter Legion of Honor. The highest of them all was Main Legion, and they would enjoy the highest tier of benefits.
This applied to Li Yi as well as they would all be demoted to level 1 members. This time, nobody’s ranking was better than anyone’s — how one ranked up would depend solely on the individual.
As all previous Guild Points and Honor Value were reset to zero, this garnered many complaints. However, Li Yi was adamant on the change so naturally, he turned a deaf ear.
More so, over 2000 people quit the guild by reason of the lack of security.
Yet it was the least of Li Yi’s worries. Instead, he wanted comrades who could lay siege to a city and kill enemies, but not a rabble of riff-raffs who would get themselves killed.
It was fine if one did not like PK. The guild had specially set up a pure lifestyle class with Snickersnee as the leader and One Big Bun as deputy. As long as there were accomplishments upon joining, they too could enjoy the guild benefits.
Snickersnee, who hammered all day long was quite the man. He could forge over 300 weapons a day, and the materials were mostly self-prepared so there was no additional cost. He sold a portion to earn and keep while the rest were donated into the guild’s vault as a contribution.
Little Drunk Cat Guild currently has over 6,000 members and at least 2,000 of them were using the weapons that were forged by him...
The guild took this period of time to develop and had upgraded to a level 2 guild. The EXP buff was now 1.75 times from 1.5 times.
In actuality, the guild could upgrade to level 3 but as they were faced with an incoming guild war, they could become an easy target to others at a time like this. Hence, Li Yi had chosen not to upgrade and had Fire Ice level up the buildings first instead.
The movement of Savage Tribe was at a halt but there were a few guilds that were still at it. Unfortunately, this could not be helped as friction was already sparked; there was no stopping them now.
Li Yi became famous, no matter for killing Yu Xuan instantly or the fact that he single-handedly challenged Milk Dipper Solitary. All the battle videos related to him were posted on the official website and together with the post titled “Dark Wing domineeringly steered away the Savage”, Li Yi became the limelight in the game.
The Archer class was at a disadvantage once they came to Level 30 because they did not have AoE skill nor did they level up faster than the Warrior class. Though once Li Yi’s videos made its appearance, many players who were at the verge of giving up on playing an Archer immediately regained confidence to continue on.
Moreover, that golden bear was simply too eye-catching!
The image of Violent Bear King was posted on the web and had stirred up many Archers. There were posts seeking info, posts offering rewards, purchasing posts, fan posts that appeared in hundreds of thousands, occupying all major forums in the web.
“Breaking news, 100% guaranteed way to capture Violent Bear King!”
“Absolute inside story, a closed beta player’s capture tactics on Violent Bear King!”
“What is more precious than a girlfriend? Answer: An *sshole-busting bear. A guide by Gay Emperor, Xia Ye.”
It was embarrassing. It seemed as though everyone had forgotten about Death of a King, Ivrit, Pinnacles of the Fire. No one seemed to heed any attention to these apart from the golden-headed Violent Bear King.
With Li Yi in the limelight, there were plenty of people who wanted to join Little Drunk Cat Guild, but their motives were obvious. Some wanted to be closer to their idol while others were prying on ways to capture Violent Bear King. Everybody had their reason and Li Yi was aware of it.
Li Yi handled things with just one sentence, saying that the guild was currently undergoing consolidation and would not be taking anyone in.
“We’ll clear Death of a King three days later.”
Li Yi posted an announcement and instantly, the guild members were filled with vigor.
They had the right level and equipment. As long as they played their cards right, Vladimir was nothing to be fearful of.
Again, Li Yi brought Fire Ice along and headed to Curse Land.
Since he was at Level 42, he could go solo, especially with the famed Violent Bear King now. He no longer needed to bring the Wutong sisters along. Although Fire Ice was killed a few times and had fallen to Level 33, her Level 35 skills were preserved and they could still be used. This meant that she could lift curses.
The main tank was not compulsory but a healer was a must!
The black and white bosses must be killed as not only was this related to seizing Vladimir, it was also associated with defeating Ivrit.
It was either go big or go home!
Facing the black and white bosses again, the pressure on both of them lessened.
Violent Bear King held onto the black-robed boss without an issue. With its high DEF and amazing group Aggro skill, those that summoned the yellow-robed monsterlings were instantly killed before they had a chance to offer sacrifice.
At this moment, Li Yi was evermore composed. Although he could not defend them, he could still rely on positioning. The black and white bosses were of Spell Path and were not keen on going after enemies. Their attacks were mostly chanting incantation where they were. In that case, he only had to make sure that their attention was drawn to attacking them.
With only the two of them in battle, the black and white bosses’ HP were at 1,000,000. The difficulty level had lessened quite a tad. Fire Ice’s Curse Lifting Spell had made it all-the-more smooth-sailing compared to playing with four individuals.
“Long live the Evil God! Upon the descent of my God, the world will be purged!”
When the black and white bosses’ HP fell to around 8,000, they both yelled while their bodies shimmered in rays of light. The most dangerous moment had arrived, the two bosses were about to self-detonate.
“Violent Bear’s Protection!”
Immediately after Li Yi shouted, Violent Bear King tossed out a golden light that enveloped him.
Once Violent Bear’s Protection was cast, Violent Bear King’s abilities would not disappear but its skills would be disabled. Besides that, Earth-ward was still in progress.
After activating Rapid Shooting and consuming Fury Potion, Li Yi launched a frenzied assault on the black and white bosses. Each arrow struck at least 2,000+. The 8,000+ HP did not withstand for long but the hardest part was having the two bosses die at the same time. Furthermore, the interval should not be more than 5 seconds or else they would resurrect and have their recover HP in full.
“Twang! Twang!”
Chain Arrow Skill was fired to the left and to the right, hitting the two bosses at point blank. Their HP were reduced to zero and they collapsed to the ground.
The two bosses did die together but their corpses were still wiggling and struggling to get up.
The System Notification on the first kill was announced but Li Yi chose not to reveal his name. Together with Fire Ice, they concealed their identity.
One person had obtained 2 Skill Points, and another had a Pantheon Hall of Fame record in the bag.
The reward for putting down the black and white bosses was looting two corpses. If one was killed after the other, only one corpse would be left behind and the other would diminish to ashes.
“Each one of us loots one.” Li Yi smiled and went up to look for the black-robed boss.
Ding!
[Curse Book (Part Two)]
[Curse Scrolls (Large) x2]
[Curse Robe (Dark Wizard’s gold-colored equipment)]
[Curse Ring (Dark Wizard’s gold-colored equipment)]
‘Heh, what a good hand. Apart from these two guaranteed drops, there are two gold-colored equipment.’
Li Yi was quite contented.
It was Fire Ice’s turn to loot now; her luck was better than Li Yi’s. After a crackle ding-ding noise, she looted a total of 11 items.
She had obtained guaranteed drop x1, Curse Scrolls (Small) x2, Warrior equipment x2, Natural Summoner equipment x5 and the rest were Light Priest equipment.
Not one could be used by Li Yi.
Out of the 5 Natural Summoner equipment, there was 1 Uber legendary necklace accessory called Soul Song. It was instilled with a special skill which was Ignite. It could diffuse 60% of its own attribute to a pet for 30 seconds and followed by a cooldown of 10 minutes.
With this piece of equipment, Natural Summoners would have an eruptive skill...
“Fatty’s in luck again, having a Level 40 equipment...”
Li Yi was used to having a trash hand anyway. So, he only requested for the two Curse Scrolls (Small) and left the remainders to Fire Ice to distribute.
“Summoner equipment to Tall Tall, Warrior equipment to Wutong.” Fire Ice chuckled as she made a list.
Fire Ice was famous for being meticulous. Li Yi had given her a few Return City Scrolls but she had insisted on keeping them all for another time, and instead went back and forth by foot. Li Yi and Chen Yang had consulted her a few times on this matter but she still went her way.
However, from the way she distributed the equipment, she was only thrifty to herself. She was quite generous to her friends...
The two of them then headed back to Shattered Frost City. Li Yi took out an Ice Toad King and traded with Fire Ice.
“Ice Toad King can increase SPD by 80%. It’s faster than the Chocobo you’re riding. But this Ice Toad King wasn’t obtained legally so don’t use it when there’s a lot of people. Use it all you want when only a few of them are around.”
“Thank you...” Fire Ice blushed as she received the Ice Toad King.
Li Yi rode Crimson Tiger King and ran a few rounds of quests. Looking at Jiaojiao’s grey DP, Li Yi felt stuffy.
He indistinctly suspected that something had happened to Jiaojiao’s family but what could he do now? He could not lend a hand. Moreover, he was worried if he were to aid her now, would she and her mother still move to the unit above his place?
Then, Confused Fox came looking for Li Yi and handed over a 500,000 Gold Coins deal to him.
“This is the compensation for the damage suffered by Little Drunk Cat Guild. This happened because of me so it should be on me.”
Li Yi rejected it. Although he was penniless now, he did not care for this money.
“Guild Master Fox, take this money back. I don’t want anything but hope that the next time Little Drunk Cat Guild is in trouble, you can lend a hand.”
“Need you say more? One word from you, brother, and I’ll oblige.”
“Haha, great.”
Confused Fox chuckled before he added. “Brother, I have this burning question that has been in my mind for a long time now. I’m not sure whether I should bring it up.”
“What’s is it?”
“Invincible Jiaojiao, erm, nothing to comment on her looks but her leadership skills... Brother, cough cough, by no means am I putting her down but she really sucks.”
Li Yi smiled. “I never said she was good. With a personality like hers, it’s a chore for her to be a party leader of 5.”
Confused Fox was puzzled. “Then why do you still... Brother, with your capabilities, you can establish a guild or join any guilds. I believe it would be way better than it is now.
“Are you interested in Jiaojiao? Even if you’re interested, you shouldn’t take this route. You can still turn back.”
Li Yi smiled. “I’m doing this because of a promise.”
“What promise?” Confused Fox shouted as he watched Li Yi leave.
“Someone once told me that she craves to be queen.”
“Qu-queen!”
Confused Fox was completely confused.
