Chapter 104: Guess Again

“Camera, take note. Later when I attack up front, make sure to get a nice shot!”
Scumbag Wang gave a shout. Holding the big ax downward with both hands, he led the attack.
A fireball hit Li Yi, but he turned his tiger around and ran back to the city.
The NPC soldiers that were guarding the gate saw this scene and immediately rushed up with their broadswords.
“Everyone, gather at the West Gate. There’re a lot of civilians creating chaos. Hurry to backup!”
The NPC soldiers instantly gathered at the West Gate and launched a frenzied attack at Scumbag Wang and his men.
Who was Li Yi?
He was someone with an official position and not a civilian. If any player dared to attack him at Shattered Frost City, the NPC soldiers would immediately come to his aid and jointly suppress the rebellious civilians.
This group of NPC soldiers could not overcome brigands, but killing players was a piece of cake for them. A life would be taken with just two or three strikes. More than 100 NPC soldiers rushed up, and in just a short seven minutes, the battle had ended.
There were no bodies on the ground. All players killed by NPC soldiers were sent directly into the prison, and they could only come out after three days.
“Leader Scum, continue taking pictures?”
In the dark cell, Scumbag Wang and his 200 men were crammed together. There was no room to move at all.
“What’s your name?”
“Leader Scum, my name’s Abu.”
“Go be Fengxi’s underling tomorrow. Such low IQ.”
…
Li Yi rode his Crimson Tiger King to find the captain. After recounting the incident, the captain was instantly angered. “Gathering the people to rebel; how dare they do this? You go and inform the prison warden to extend their detention period for three days.”
This was the benefit of improving the NPC’s impression of you.
Li Yi went to the prison warden to deliver the message, “The captain has orders to extend the detention period of the rebels to ten days.”
“Understood!”
Li Yi’s words caused Scumbag Wang and his men to be detained for an additional ten days.
The captain said three days, but he changed it to ten days when passing the message. If this matter was known to the captain, his Official Position Points would drop by 100 points, but there were no other side effects apart from this, otherwise, he would not have dared to do such a thing.
The Huashan Guild was once again famous and made headlines in the forum on Pantheon’s official page.
Unparalleled courage, Scumbag Wang of the Huashan Guild creates glory once more! Sword aimed at Shattered Frost, rallying the people to storm the city!
“Huashan Guild is too brilliant. I so want to join them too.”
“Scumbag Wang’s really handsome. Blue shirt and big ax pose, f*ck, this is the new generation of idols on the Internet…”
Because of this post, more than 100 people actually joined the Huashan Guild. This really… caused Li Yi to be speechless.
In addition to the fact that this small matter was being infinitely magnified recently, there had been another major event in Pantheon.
Star Fire moved their guild building out of the Mirror map and built it outside of Wind Capital.
When the guild reached Level 5, conversing with the guild management would provide one with an extra option – whether to move the guild building out of the Mirror map.
As long as it was not within the major cities, the relocation address of the guild building could be chosen at will and be built anywhere. Be it building next to the mountains and rivers, or occupying a mountain, one was completely free to choose. All that was needed was just to spend 1,000,000 Gold Coins.
If the guild building was built on the World map, the benefits the guild could obtain would be greatly enhanced. For example, the buff that increases EXP would automatically evolve to give twice the effect. Other areas would also be greatly strengthened.
However, moving the guild building to the World map had its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage was that the guild benefits would be greatly increased, but the drawback was that anyone could destroy the guild building at any time.
The cost of repairing the damaged guild building was not a small amount. Although it did not reach 1,000,000 Gold Coins, but without at least about 500,000, it would not work.
Because he was the first to transfer the Guild’s map to the World map, as the Guild Master of the Star Fire Guild, Yang Xingchen obtained a bonus of +2 Skill Points, and all the guild members’ Reputation value with various major cities increased by 1000 points.
This event was exactly the same as in the previous life and was without any changes.
“Yang Xingchen, that fellow who likes to show off, will suffer a great loss sooner or later.” This was the appraisal from the Guild Master of the God Creator Guild, Confused Fox.
The reputation of the Star Fire Guild rose rapidly, and the number of players who joined the guild soared. In just a couple of days, the number of people was on par with Little Drunk Cat, reaching more than 8,000.
Although the challenge against the black and white boss failed, Li Yi was not in any way idle. He led the three women to battle several easy bosses, achieved two first kills, and in addition to equipment, he had also gained two Skill Points.
The EXP gained from killing the bosses was not little and was much quicker compared to completing quests and farming little monsters. The three women’s level improved rapidly, causing Chen Yang to make some noise and not wanting to carry teams but to level up together with Li Yi.
“Keep your focus on carrying parties. Before Pretty Good Mood had been trained well, you’re the chief commander of the Little Drunk Cat Guild!”
“I quit! Carrying parties is too tiring.”
“I’ll give you half of the authority over the guild inventory. You can choose any ten pieces of gold-colored equipment.”
“Brother Yi! Just say the word, and I’ll carry parties for you.”
…
As a player whose life had been reset once, Li Yi was extremely accurate in the respawn time of each major boss. The time deviation error did not even exceed five minutes. As long as he had defeated the boss once, he would not run that dungeon again more than 90% of the time.
He also went to solo Crimson Tiger King again, but instead of a mount, a gold-colored equipment was dropped, so he sold it at the Auction House.
Regarding Frost Valley, another special dungeon that dropped mounts, because the quest related to the dungeon had not been finished yet, so he was still unable to enter it at the moment.
Sif’s employment period had expired, but Li Yi, as her last employer, had the priority to her employment rights. He only needed to spend a little more Gold Coins and he would be able to re-employ her.
Although Sif was always in a daze, yet she still did not release any quest, causing Li Yi to run out of ideas and could only strengthen the means to make her yield as soon as possible.
The patrolling quest was done every day, and the brigands would be released when he received any extradite orders. After a few days, the Affinity between Li Yi and the Pinewood Brigands rose sharply. Just by releasing them once, it would definitely become Friendly.
His luck on opening the Soldier’s Honorable Gift Pack was also quite good, often obtaining 500 and 1000. Soon, his Official Position Points had reached the promotion requirement.
As a Level 5 soldier of Shattered Frost City, his title had changed to City Guard.
Li Yi could now receive an income of 50 Gold Coins from the captain every month.
This was only a small step closer to success. It was harder to advance the secondary class compared to the primary class in King of Pantheon. Apart from climbing one step at a time, there was no other shortcut.
After Li Yi’s official position had risen to Level 5 City Guard, only then did a player with the title City-defending Soldier appeared in Shattered Frost City.
Human female Thief, Ye Yingbing!
Ye Yingbing’s whereabouts were enigmatic. In his past life, she was the first Castellan player of Shattered Frost City. But after a few days, she was replaced by Mad Dragon of Platinum Hand.
At that time, the video of Ye Yingbing exerting all her effort to break out of Shattered Frost City became a classic. Countless guilds rolled out a red carpet to her and wanted her to join their respective guilds.
However, this person was a little peculiar. She obviously could rely on the power of any party to defeat her enemies, but she did not do it. She would rather be killed by others and flee about rather than to join any forces.
She has always been a lone ranger, and she rarely formed a team to battle the dungeons.
“What a surprise…”
Ye Yingbing saw Li Yi, and she was equally astonished.
Recently, Platinum Hand had battled the Death of a King a few times, but they were miserably wiped out. All members had descended two levels, and the party leader could do nothing but to disband the party, study the style of play, and raise the members’ level at the same time.
Ye Yingbing thought for a while before asking, “What’s the progress of your guild in the dungeon?”
Li Yi shook his head. “Haven’t entered it at all.”
“We’ve reached Vladimir.” Ye Yingbing revealed an information to Li Yi, got on her horse and went to complete quests.
Contrary to what Ye Yingbing had in mind, Li Yi did not take this info seriously.
Platinum Hand was not a guild. Although they were very strong, their reserve power was lacking. If they were killed a few times, their recovery speed would slow down.
Being in a guild had its own benefits. In major guilds like the likes of God Creator, Star Fire, and Dream, even if one were to be killed numerous times, one could still prepare one’s self in a very short amount of time to continue to try again.
Li Yi also rode on Crimson Tiger King to go and complete quests, and he was very fortunate today as he received once more, the quest to transport brigands. After successfully releasing the brigands, the Affinity between Li Yi and the Pinewood Brigands had reached Friendly at last.
It was not easy, but he finally succeeded.
Li Yi excitedly ran to the pinewood to look for the head of the brigands.
“This Brother Dark Wing is our great benefactor. Many of our brothers survived because of his rescue, so everyone must thank him and can’t consider him as an outsider. Do you hear me?”
The bearded brigand head had a sense of loyalty and praised Li Yi in front of all the brigands. Li Yi received a system notification: [The Affinity between you and the Pinewood Brigands has increased by 500 points.]
“We’re all bandits. We won’t do anything other than fighting and robbing. If you have any needs, go find Second Brother Zhang. He’s responsible for distributing the items we have seized.”
There was also a quartermaster in the Pinewood Brigands, Second Brother Zhang.
“Brother Dark Wing, is there anything I can help you with?” Second Brother Zhang smiled at Li Yi and displayed the inventory.
The items sold by Second Brother Zhang were a feast for the eyes as they were varied and bizarre. All kinds were present.
[Widow Li’s Embroidered Shoe (single), Children’s Toy Knife, Damaged Wooden Stick, Broken Kitchen Knives…]
It was a bunch of peculiar items, and the price was listed at the back, but the price difference was huge.
These items were all robbed by the Pinewood Brigands, and this was the exact reason why Li Yi was putting in the effort to build rapport with them.
Although many of the items sold by Second Brother Zhang were rubbish, the types of items sold by him were refreshed every day. Basically, whenever the Pinewood Brigands went out to rob, the items sold by Second Brother Zhang would be refreshed…
Li Yi looked for a long time and found only two valuable items, two Advanced-level Fury Potion Formulae which were priced at 100 Gold Coins.
Advanced-level Fury Potion Formulae required an Advanced-level Apothecarist to refine it. Although it could not be learned now, it was better to be prepared as toward the end of the game, this item would get pricier.
After spending 200 Gold Coins to buy the two Advanced-level Fury Potion Formulae, Li Yi was satisfied, and he rubbed the Return City Stone.
“Ding!” At this moment, his private chat message sounded, and it displayed a message sent from a stranger, “Guess who I am again!”
Li Yi was thrilled.
He had closed off his non-friends private chat messages, so those who were not his friends would not be able to send messages to him at all. But in his Friends Pane at this moment, the name, Invincible Jiaojiao, had lit up…
“Is it Jiaojiao? Come to the Guild’s map, I’ve got a few things for you.”
“Cheh, you’re actually spot-on again. How boring. I’m at the Guild’s map now. My goodness, this is unbelievable. You’ve actually recruited… recruited more than 8,000 people!” Jiaojiao yelled. She was in a good mood today.
Li Yi rubbed the Return City Stone and returned to the Guild’s map.
The exhausted-looking Jiaojiao was standing in the combat arena, daydreaming.
“I’m handing over the position of Guild Master to you. I’m afraid won’t be able to play for much longer.” Jiaojiao sighed.
System Notification: [Invincible Jiaojiao wants to transfer the management authority of the guild to you. Accept?]
Li Yi did not accept it.
“If I wanted to set up a guild, I’d have already set it up myself.”
“Then I’ll just be a nominal one for now. I’ll leave you a mobile number. Any time when you think of changing guilds, just call my mobile directly. My mobile…” Jiaojiao stated her mobile number before adding another sentence, “Don’t you harass me in the middle of the night, and don’t send me any yellow text message!” 1
“…Am I such a person?” Li Yi was embarrassed.
“Didn’t you mention that you have a few things for me? What are they?”
Li Yi took out the Devil Equipment Set and traded it to Jiaojiao.
“Gold-colored Equipment. Put on to have a look. The attributes are very strong.”
“That’s very generous of you. I haven’t been online for so long, and still, you thought of reserving equipment for me.”
Jiaojiao’s eyes reddened. She gave Li Yi a thumbs up and gleefully put on the Devil Equipment Set.
An arousing scene appeared.
The appearance of the Rechargeable Breastplate was actually a bra, which could only cover half of the breast; the Vile Shorts was a standard G-string; as for the whip and the black long boots…
The snowy double peaks, the deep cleavage, the curvy front and back, and the extremely sexy body coupled with the whip in hand; a classic image instantly popped up in Li Yi’s mind.
Pap! Yamete…
“Snap! Snap!”
Li Yi turned on the camera function and took pictures of the Jiaojiao’s sexy image as quickly as he could…
