Chapter 319: This chick is very black-hearted

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the Sea Island’s Trading Centre, Li Yi met up with Autumn Love.
“Brother Dark Wing was so awesome! I was completely mesmerized by your skills back at the battle at Dragonbone!”
Right as they met up, Autumn Love started praising Li Yi whilst smiling charmingly.
Li Yi calmly smiled back, but did not contribute to the topic. He had gained quite a lot during the battle at Dragonbone, but it was still slightly lower in comparison to what this Miss Autumn over here gained.
Autumn Betting House was no doubt a swindling house. There were only cash inflows and no outflows. Just the profit from the loanshark-esque interest alone would amount to an astronomical number.
“So, show me the equipment you want to trade, I’ve got things to do.”
“Hehe, I’m willing to bet that you’ll definitely be satisfied.”
With a cheeky grin, Autumn Love pulled out a helmet and showed Li Yi its attributes.
[The Perfect Magic-Breaker Helmet (???)]
[P-DEF +1000]
[M-DEF +1000]
[STR +300]
[AGI +300]
[END +300]
[Special effect: 50% increase in guard break chance]
[Special effect: 50% decrease in magical damage]
…
This helmet’s surface color looked extremely weird. It was not orange, purple, or even gold, but rather a strange-looking black.
Autumn Love said with a half-smile on her face, “This is the uber-legendary helmet I’ve spent several months farming. It’s also a piece of all-class equipment. So, what do you think? Is it worthy enough to trade for your staff?”
“Enough, it’s more than enough.” Li Yi nodded while smiling.
Just based on the attributes, the value of this helmet had already far exceeded the staff dropped by the Vile King, but…
“Missy Autumn, amongst all the King of Pantheon equipment, I’ve only heard of white, blue, green, gold, purple, and orange qualities. But the helmet you’ve gotten your hands on looks black, what quality is it even considered as?”
“Errr…” Autumn Love was slightly startled. After glancing around, she moved closer to Li Yi’s ear and whispered, “Can you keep a secret? Apparently, these black-quality equipment are godly equipment that are far stronger than orange-quality equipment…”
“Pfft…” Li Yi could not hold back his laughter.
“Why’re you laughing? You don’t believe me?” Autumn Love was a bit unhappy with that reaction.
Li Yi shook his head and explained, “No, I believe you. I’m just the type of guy to get carried away very often. I was laughing because I was a bit too happy.”
“Hehe, no wonder!” Autumn Love also chuckled.
Autumn Love turned her big eyes to Li Yi as she asked, “Brother Dark Wing, seeing as my godly equipment is so amazing, if we just trade like this, wouldn’t I lose out a bit?”
“Mmhmm, you’re definitely getting the short end of the stick here.”
“Yeah, this equipment is amazing, it doesn’t even have any requirements. You can use it immediately after you get it!
“Then how about this? I’ll just lose out in this deal a little bit and continue on with the one-for-one trade with you. But, in exchange, you just need to accompany me to a dungeon. You can even choose the time, how about it? For someone of your caliber, this should be a piece of cake, right?”
Autumn Love stared ahead but looked to her side, secretly observing Li Yi’s reactions.
“Well, that shouldn’t be a problem.” Li Yi swiftly agreed.
“Alright, let’s trade first!” Autumn Love hurriedly sent a trade request to Li Yi.
Li Yi clicked accept with a big smile on his face. After putting the staff dropped from the Vile King into the trade window, he obtained the Perfect Magic-Breaker Helmet.
“Ahahahaha, I’ve finally gotten my hands on you, O’ mighty staff.”
What does the phrase “getting carried away” mean? At this point, Autumn Love was the very embodiment of it. When she got her hands on the staff, she was so ecstatic that she started running victory laps on the map, completely forgetting Li Yi’s existence despite him standing next to her.
“Godly equipment, huh? This name ain’t that bad…”
Li Yi mumbled to himself. Completely ignoring Autumn Love, he teleported out of the Sea Island’s Trading Center.
In his past life, he had played King of Pantheon for nearly seven years. He had seen his fair share of legendary orange equipment, but this was the first time he heard of this so-called “godly equipment”.
‘This Missy Autumn was really as black-hearted as I expected. To think she would even dare to scam someone like me.’
Inside King of Pantheon, there was no such thing as “godly equipment”. The legendary orange equipment was the highest tier of all types of equipment. The black equipment that Autumn Love had traded to him was another type of equipment called “mysterious equipment”.
The attributes for mysterious equipment were all randomly generated, with the equipment requirements all over the place. Some had attribute requirements whilst others had level requirements. Some of them were god-tier, whereas some might be trash.
The mysterious equipment that Autumn Love used to trade had god-tier attributes without a doubt. That was also the whole reason why Li Yi went on with the trade despite knowing that she was swindling him.
Why did he say she was swindling him? The reason was simple.
All the mysterious equipment had a durability of 0/0. They would all be permanently broken after a single use, even a Legendary Master Blacksmith would not be able to repair it.
Even if the attributes were god-tier, what use was it if it was only a single-use equipment?
It might be useless to others, but to Li Yi, it did have its uses…
In order to one-shot the God-Queen Carulla, he needed the help of this type of equipment.
…
“Hahahahahaha, so the Eastern Continent’s Dark Wing ain’t all that after all. To think that all this b*tch needed to do was to use such a petty trick to be able to scam him out of an entire fortune. Hehe, with his name on the line, even if he found out that it was a scam, he would still have to help me clear a dungeon, right? What a profit, what a profit!”
In the Sea Island’s Trading Centre, Autumn Love was still hugging the staff tightly. She was smiling so widely that everyone could no longer see her eyes.
…
This was the first time in both his lifetimes that Li Yi knowingly accepted to be swindled.
“The attributes on this are amazing, looks like that black-hearted missy took a long time to pick it out. So worth it!” Looking at the helmet, Li Yi was immensely satisfied.
Although he wanted to save his Wish Stones, he still had not given up on his plans of strengthening his equipment. He ran up to Kelly and strengthened the single-use super helmet up to +13.
“Missy Autumn, why did the helmet break immediately after my first use? I can’t even repair it! What’s going on?”
As Li Yi finished strengthening the equipment and was flying towards the Celestial Capital, when he started mailing Autumn Love out of boredom.
“Err, I don’t know much about it. Try looking for a Master-Level Blacksmith and see if they can repair it.”
“I did, even the Master-Level Blacksmiths could not repair it.”
“Then I can’t help you. Sigh, how could this sort of thing happen? Brother Dark Wing, I’m really sorry.”
“Err, it’s fine. I’m just asking that’s all. I’m just a bit frustrated, missy.”
“Ahh, I’ve got something to tend to so I’m gonna head off first. Brother Dark Wing, don’t forget your promise with me! Find some time to bring me down to a dungeon! Bye bye!”
Autumn Love hurriedly went offline.
“The great Black Autumn truly lives up to her name, huh…” Li Yi lamented.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Two aquamarine arrows suddenly flew over. Hearing the sound of the arrows zipping through the sky, Li Yi was mildly startled. He rapidly tugged on the Horned Griffin’s halter, immediately diving downwards.
“Whoosh!”
Another aquamarine arrow was shot, this time aimed at the direction Li Yi was dodging towards. The arrow landed on the Horned Griffin’s body.
“Poof!”
Li Yi’s Horned Griffin was automatically dismissed, causing Li Yi to fall to the ground.
“Dark Wing, DIEEEEE!”
Hearing the prideful loud roar ringing from above his head, Li Yi immediately knew who he was facing.
This was an archer who could use aquamarine arrows and owned a combat flying mount. Who else could it have been other than Shoot Until Daybreak?
Without bothering using his Cloak Parachute, Li Yi drew his bow. While still freefalling, he started his counter attack!
Shoot Until Daybreak was a prideful man. Ever since he was defeated by Li Yi last time, he fell into depression for a long time, constantly looking for ways to exact his revenge. He would always come skulking around the Eastern Continent whenever he had spare time, hoping to get an opportunity. This time, in a complete coincidence, he had finally bumped into Li Yi.
“Fall to your death!” Shoot Until Daybreak mocked, as he easily dodged Li Yi’s attacks.
“Fly!”
Even then, Li Yi did not fall to his death like Shoot Until Daybreak imagined. Right before he hit the ground, Li Yi used the special flying skill from his Dragon-skin Cloak and started gliding in the air like a giant bird.
Shoot Until Daybreak was completely stunned. Once he finally reacted to what has happened, he could not help but swear, “F*CK!” before immediately ordering his mount to pursue.
Li Yi did not stay in the air for long, his body moving directly downwards. He dove straight into a dense forest.
“Come out! Come out!” Shoot Until Daybreak shouted.
There was no reply. Li Yi did not even counter attack. The dense forest below had hidden him perfectly.
“Shoot at Random!”
This time, the one unleashing Shoot at Random was not Li Yi, but rather Shoot Until Daybreak. Riding on his Redwing Raven, he moved around in the air above the dense forest whilst repeatedly using Shoot at Random. He wanted to kill off Li Yi with this move.
Even when he had completely used up all his MP, Li Yi still had not revealed himself.
“F*ck me, he couldn’t have actually escaped, could he?” Shoot Until Daybreak was frustrated.
Shoot Until Daybreak laughed devilishly as he landed at the empty space right outside of the dense forest.
“Dark Wing, come out and fight me fair and square!”
“Boom!”
A loud explosion rang out from the dense forest, followed by a huge burst of black smoke. Just as Shoot Until Daybreak was stunned by what had happened, a spiraling arrow flew towards him from his side.
“Tsssss——”
The sound of the explosion had covered up the sound of the arrow flying through the air. Shoot Until Daybreak’s attention was completely grabbed by the explosion, he had no clue that the spiraling arrow was flying straight towards him.
“Pop!”
The arrow pierced through his head, as the damage numbers [-8101] popped up.
“Thud!”
Shoot Until Daybreak dropped to the ground facing the sky.
It was a OHKO!
“Ding!”
A purple item dropped from Shoot Until Daybreak’s body. Li Yi, who had been hiding in the dense forest, immediately charged out on his Holy Light Warhorse and picked up the item.
It was an Epic Level 60 Ring, the Great Wizard Andrew’s Ring, in fact.
“F*ck me…” Shoot Until Daybreak was raging hard.
“A purple ring with a plus 300 INT? You’re an archer, why the heck are you using a purple INT ring?”
“Give it back!” Shoot Until Daybreak angrily roared.
“I still got things to do, I’ll play with you again next time.”
As the corpse continued to roar, Li Yi got on his Horned Griffin and flew off.
“Hold it right there! Give me back my ring! GIVE IT BACK!” Shoot Until Daybreak continued shouting for a long while. After a while, he finally realized that Li Yi could no longer hear him no matter how much he shouted. He rapidly released his soul and started corpse running…
“Give me back my ring…” Immediately after Shoot Until Daybreak revived, the first thing he did was sending Li Yi a message asking for the ring.
“Poof! Poof!”
Two Flame Arrows nailed him right behind his skull, causing him to fall once more.
Li Yi’s laugh could be heard in the distance. “Dying just once would be letting you off too easy, wouldn’t it? The people who try to hunt me down must die at least eight or ten times, isn’t that only fair?”
Shoot Until Daybreak was so enraged that he could not even speak coherently.
This time, he did not dare to revive. Li Yi waited for him for more than half an hour, but he remained as a corpse over there.
“I’m actually gonna leave this time!”
“Who the hell’s gonna believe you?!”
Li Yi actually left, but Shoot Until Daybreak refused to believe him. After lying there idly for more than one whole hour, he finally decided to revive.
“Give me back my ring, heck, I’ll even give you something else to trade for it…” Shoot Until Daybreak persistently messaged Li Yi once more.
“What do you have in mind?”
“Anything! As long as you return me my ring I’d trade you anything!” Shoot Until Daybreak was resolute in his words.
