Chapter 98: Beat You to Submission
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yang Xingchen’s party ran back to their corpses and came back resurrected. Hua Feihua was teleported out by force.
After two deaths, her level dropped to 29 and the System teleported her out of the map by force.
“Hoot!”
“Hoot!”
Yang Xingchen and I Love Beast Beast just got up when Explosive Ape dashed over. Li Yi did not even have to move a finger when both of them were smashed to death in a few hits.
Li Yi dismissed Explosive Ape and quietly lay waiting.
If he were to fight, he must defeat the party solo or else he would not bother revealing himself.
Yang Xingchen and I Love Beast Beast both stood up again. Li Yi did not strike yet and waited until their HP was full before stepping back a few times.
Yang Xingchen consumed another Unlimited Fury Potion and ran towards Li Yi.
Li Yi no longer gave him any opportunity to charge and remained outside charging range. He ignored Yang Xingchen and shot at I Love Beast Beast who was at the back.
The damage caused by a +13 Frost Longbow was terrifying. Adding 8% DEF negligence in the mix, even if I Love Beast Beast gave his all to healing, he could not escape death.
His HP limit was too low. Simple regular shots and Chain Arrow Skill easily took him out.
“Clang!”
Li Yi fired at Yang Xingchen but was blocked successfully. It did not cause any damage.
“Chain Arrow Skill!”
“Clang!”
“Clang!”
Yang Xingchen wielded his shield and successively blocked off two arrows. He did not sustain any damage.
When a ranged class fought against a melee class, apart from sneak attacks, they remained at a disadvantage, especially when faced with a main tank who was successful in blocks to take away a lot of the damage.
Yang Xingchen’s blocking was on point. Without Explosive Ape’s help to cause dizziness, Li Yi’s ranged attack was ineffective!
“Heh... One of the top ten tankers. Indeed, he lives up to his reputation.”
Li Yi halted his kiting strategy and stood still while firing shots.
He could not delay any longer or else it would be troublesome once I Love Beast Beast ran back to his corpse and returned.
“Charge!”
Yang Xingchen waited for this opportunity for so long now. He was confident that as long as it was a direct hit with his charging, it would leave his opponent no chance to survive.
‘Try and ward, you! I must make you drop all your equipment or I shan’t be called Yang Xingchen!’
“Freezing Trap!”
Just as Yang Xingchen was halfway in charging, Li Yi smiled sinisterly and placed a Freezing Trap beneath him. At the same time, he took a few steps back.
Charge was a locked-on skill. Once it was used, even if the target was constantly on the move, it was guaranteed to hit. However, this Charge skill also posed a few flaws, such as the inability to stop midway. If the target were to utilize a field-controlling skill, one would not be able to avoid it.
Freezing Trap took to effect and froze Yang Xingchen into an ice sculpture, putting his charging mode to a halt...
Li Yi drank a bottle of Fury Potion with ease and went around the back of Yang Xingchen.
Main tanks had three major great attributes which were to parry, dodge, and block. Apart from blocking, which was an initiated skill, the other two attributes were passively triggered. This was by luck. If one was lucky, then it would be triggered each time when attacked. If one was unlucky, it would not be triggered even once in battle.
A tanker’s three major attributes were great but their back was their weakness. If they were attacked from the back, they could not parry, dodge nor block...
This formula was applicable to any class. Once one was attacked from the back, the percentage of a direct hit was 99.99%.
Of course, if one could miss an attack from the back, then they would have no one to blame but their dumb luck.
“Crippling Shot!”
“Chain Arrow Skill!”
[-980]
[-766]
[-690]
Three shots! Yang Xingchen collapsed...
After waiting for long, Yang Xingchen and I Love Beast Beast did not get up, nor did they curse at Li Yi.
“Star Fire Guild master, refrain from using too much strawberry-flavored condoms and No. 107.
“You understand.”
Li Yi sent Yang Xingchen a PM. He snickered before rubbing a Return City Stone.
He was not afraid of Star Fire’s vengeance or else he would not have blatantly revealed his name.
“Xingchen, I will inform the brothers in the guild and wage a guild war against them!” I Love Beast Beast stood up and clenched his fist in anger.
“No... This... Just let it be,” Yang Xingchen was in a daze.
“Xingchen, you?” I Love Beast Beast looked at Yang Xingchen in shock. He could not believe his ears.
Yang Xingchen was a hothead and was triggered easily. He did not want to seek revenge after suffering such a loss? What was he thinking?
Yang Xingchen waved his arm, “I’ll say it again. Let it be. One more thing, you must not say a word about us partying with Hua Feihua!”
I Love Beast Beast sighed, “I really don’t understand what you’re thinking.”
Little Drunk Cat Guild may triumph in numbers over Star Fire but if they really went to war, Star Fire needed to take out half their talent to completely vanquish Little Drunk Cat.
They were just a bunch of riff-rafts. I Love Beast Beast thought little of them.
“I’m going to log out now, I have something to attend to.”
Yang Xingchen went offline in a hurry.
He was scared off his pants by Li Yi’s PM.
Yang Xingchen has a peculiar habit. He loved using strawberry-flavored condoms while having sex but only the women he slept with knew of this. No. 107 was the room number of the hotel he and Hua Feihua frequented for affairs. For Li Yi to mention the two private matters, how could he not be startled?
He was clearer than anyone the person Milk Dipper Solitary was. If he were to find out that he had an affair with his woman, the outcome would be disastrous.
“Hua’er, I need you to be honest with me.
“Apart from me, is there anyone else you’re close with?”
“... Apart from Solitary, you’re the only one.”
“For real?”
“What kind of person do you think I am?
“Humph, I’m ignoring you.”
Yang Xingchen did not get anything out of Hua Feihua so he went back online and PM-ed Li Yi.
“Dark Wing, what do you mean by strawberry-flavored and No.107?
“I don’t understand?”
“Did I say that?
“Did you hear it wrong?
“I never said it.”
“...” Yang Xing Chen had no response to this.
He could not carry on the conversation. No matter how Yang Xingchen attempted to probe, Li Yi seemed to have lost his memory and never brought back up those words.
...
Sitting in his home, Li Yi checked on the spoils he snagged from Crimson Tiger King.
Although he has a Trash Hand but could a Level 40 world boss drop rate be any lower? This time, a total of five green-colored equipment, three gold-colored equipment, three miscellaneous items, and one Tiger’s Head were dropped.
Li Yi clicked on Tiger’s Head and cheerful music rang.
[Congratulations, you obtained a Crimson Tiger King mount!]
A mount secured! The First Kill really has a 100% drop rate.
The first girl to ride a Crimson Tiger King mount in his past life was none other than Hua Feihua. If he hadn’t seized it in this life, this Crimson Tiger King mount should have been hers...
“Brother Yi, where were you earlier?
“I saw the System Notification.
“You single-handedly killed a Level 40 boss, how freaking awesome!”
Chen Yang excitedly sent a PM.
Li Yi had long blocked strangers’ PM and could only receive messages from friends.
“Wild Beast Plain, a Level 30 map.
“You can’t go if your level isn’t high enough.
“I’ll bring you over once you’re Level 30.”
“Alright, alright.
“Let’s not talk about this yet.
“We’re raiding Fire Beasts.
“Hahaha, Brother Yi, Pretty Good Mood, this fella ain’t that bad.
“He really has the makings of a commander, embodying a mini-me of those days.”
Li Yi face was beaded with sweat.
Pretty Good Mood was the most famous Great Commander in his past life. He only nudged him into joining God Creator Guild but not altering completely the course of direction. The way it was developing, he was meant to grow into that awesome Great Commander as his past life.
The five green-colored equipment dropped by Crimson Tiger King was a set. It was an equipment set specialized for pure healbot Sky Vagabond class.
The attributes of the three gold-colored equipment were not too shabby as well but their levels were too high so he could not make use of them yet. He had to first store them in his inventory.
Out of the three miscellaneous items, two were guaranteed drops. They were advanced-level rare materials, Crimson Tiger Skin, and Crimson Tiger Bones. The last was a gold-sparkly treasure map.
Gold-colored treasure maps were rare. Li Yi was immediately struck to open for a look. The dig site turned out to be in Cursed Land again.
The location was the same as the blue-colored treasure map that was dropped the last time. The only difference was their coordinates. It seemed that there was a need for him to go digging.
Apart from these spoils, Li Yi obtained another advantage.
Shattered Frost City’s Adoration!
The NPC’s attitude has changed from Respectful to Adoration. He could reap more benefits and receive more extensive quests.
It has not been easy. It took almost two months just completing quests. He achieved several first kills in between. Without the Reputation Value obtained from first kill rewards, if he were to focus only on quests, he really would not have been able to gain Adoration even in a year or so.
Players riding on horses in Shattered Frost City has risen in numbers. It was no secret to the Quartermaster selling horses. It could be found out just by checking the official website.
With the increase of his reputation, an additional task was added in his daily city-patrolling. He was to investigate the brigands disguised as civilians in Shattered Frost City.
“Roar—”
Li Yi rode on Crimson Tiger King and roamed around Shattered Frost City. It caused a huge sensation. Those players riding horses were down on their luck as once the horses caught sight of Crimson Tiger King, they were frightened off their wits. They did not obey their riders and thrashed about.
A large red tiger, three times the size of a horse, was an epitome of super flashiness. Even taking away the +3 on all attributes boost, it was still a divine creature that countless people dreamed of riding.
In his past life, numerous people have kept watch over Wild Beast Plain just for that pitiful 0.2% drop rate. It was a shame that mounts were locked items. Once it was used, it was forever locked with its owner. It could not be traded nor dropped.
Players that saw Crimson Tiger King went ballistic. A few of them wailed and screamed, begging Li Yi to reveal the location to farm it. There were even those who offered money, a hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, five hundred thousand... The price kept soaring that Li Yi watched while his jaw dropped. He did indulge the thought for a while in a reverie. If he did not use Tiger’s Head and displayed it in an auction, how much would it sell for?
This thing was too flashy. Crimson Tiger King let out a roar and the horse mounts were overcame with fright. No matter where they went, they were a definite focal point.
As a gamer, who would not want to flaunt a little? Li Yi dared to seize Crimson Tiger King boss so he would most definitely dare to ride him before everyone. What was the point of snatching it away if one dared to seize it yet was afraid to ride it?
On the official website, Yang Xingchen saw the pictures of Li Yi riding Crimson Tiger King. He immediately rang I Love Beast Beast up.
“Old Beast, this matter is over. Please remember to keep it secret...”
Hua Feihua too saw the pictures. She swiftly phoned Yang Xingchen, “That person stole my tiger. I don’t care, I don’t care.
“You must compensate me, compensate me, compensate me, compensate me...”
At the 101th ‘compensate me’ speech, Yang Xingchen became furious and yelled back, “Compensate you, my f*ck*ng m*th*rf*ck*r c*nt *ss!”
Bang!
A mobile phone worth well over fifty thousand bucks was smashed on the spot.
