Chapter 10 - A Study of Scum on Huashan

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The title is a pun referring to A Study of Swords on Huashan, a famous tournament held on Mount Hua in the classic martial arts novel by Jin Yong, The Legend of the Condor Heroes. In Chinese, ‘Scum’ and ‘Sword’ are homophones.

If you asked who was the biggest cheater in King of Pantheon, Li Yi took the cake without a doubt. However, he was a cheater, not a scumbag. The long-faced man before him now, Scumbag Wang, was the truest scum of all scum.

Scumbang Wang’s IGN was Wang’er, but even his friends never called him by that name. Everyone, without exception, called him Scumbag!

Scumbang Wang was one of the founders of the Huashan Guild, and the Huashan Guild was the guild with the worst reputation in King of Pantheon. A Wizard chick who had joined the Huashan Guild for just one day before quitting had a famous line describing them, “Everyone in the Huashan Guild is a retard.”

According to the Wizard MM, she joined a guild activity as soon as she entered the guild, and they went to the Heroic Difficulty Inferno Dungeon. In the end, even with infinite revives and infinite corpse running, they were decimated over and over again for an entire day and still could not get past Old One (the first boss of the dungeon).

It must be noted that at the time, the members of the Huashan Guild were all at around Level 50, and the Inferno Dungeon was only Level 40. Sure, it was Heroic Difficulty, but if their control was not too terrible and their equipment was not too trashy, defeating those bosses would still be a walk through the park.

The Wizard chick immediately saw the cause of the problem. There were 40 people in the party, but no MTs or healers. They were all just DPS damage dealers.

“Why don’t you add a few healers and MTs? Just one would do?”

“Whaddya know, don’t you get overwhelming level difference? If you don’t, don’t act all cocky, just shut up and deal that damage!”

“That’s right, you just joined one day ago, and here you’re already acting like some hotshot. When our boss was beating the Leviathan, where were you?”

“If you don’t like it, then scram. It’s because we got people like you in the guild who aren’t united or loyal, that’s why we’re stuck at Old One.”

“Everyone in the Huashan Guild is a retard.”

The Wizard chick left the guild in a fury, uttering those famous words.

However, it seemed that the Wizard chick’s story ended in tragedy. The Huashan Guild put a kill order on her head, so she was hunted down and killed all day by those retards from Huashan, as well as cursed through spam. In the end, the Wizard chick was utterly dejected, and she deleted her account, quitting the game.

“Whether you’re a man or a woman, this is what happens to those who defy out Huashan Guild.” The one who said these words cockily not long after the Wizard chick deleted her account was none other than the number two of the Huashan Guild, Scumbag Wang.

Scumbag Wang never understood the meaning of a decent character. Stealing Bosses, occupying others’ territory, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, there was nothing he would not do, no limits to his scumminess.

Take what he was doing right now for example. They were at such a low level still, and he was already here to clear the grounds.

PK 1 was forbidden before Level 10. When one side attacked another side with ill intent, the system would forcibly stop them, immobilizing the attacking party for 30 seconds.

It seemed as though these idiots never read through the game’s rules at all, to think they did not even know that PK was forbidden before Level 10.

Scumbag Wang’s cocky expression tickled Li Yi’s funny bone. He remembered how Scumbag Wang laughed just like this the first time they met in the previous life… but before he could laugh for too long, he ended in utter tragedy.

“Whatchu looking at? Never seen a good-looking guy before? Oh, there’s even a chick here. That diving suit’s pretty lit, what is it they usually say? What curves?”

“Perfect curves,” one of Scumbag Wang’s subordinates replied.

Scumbag Wang narrowed his pervy eyes, constantly checking Moonlight Ocean out. “Yeah, yeah, all the perfect curves are right there for show. Yup, that butt’s big enough, but it’s too bad the boobs are a lil’ too small. If I touched it, it probably wouldn’t feel too filling.”

“Girlie, take off your veil for Brother Scum.”

“C’mon, take it off. If our Leader Scum likes what he sees, you’re in for a treat.”

“Yeah, if you become our Sister-in-Law Scum, you’ll have reached the top in no time at all.”

Scumbag Wang’s subordinates were all about the same type as he was. After all, birds of a feather flock together.

Old Li Flying Dagger’s expression was pitch-black, and Moonlight Ocean was so angry that her entire body was shaking. Just when the two of them were about to launch themselves at Scumbag Wang, Li Yi called out from behind, stopping them.

Li Yi smiled slightly, pointing ahead of him. “You guys go ahead first and wait for me. Give me five minutes, and I’ll settle these guys.”

Old Li Flying Dagger looked ahead and saw two groups of Adult Wild Boars pacing back and forth. Just as he was about to ask how he was supposed to go over there, Moonlight Ocean had already walked over.

Moonlight Ocean walked through the two groups of Adult Wild Boars completely unobstructed, safely arriving at the place Li Yi pointed out.

Old Li Flying Dagger’s face flushed red, and he no longer harbored any doubt in his heart. Following Li Yi’s instructions, he ran over and rendezvoused with Moonlight Ocean.

Li Yi shouted at Scumbag Wang, “This place is all yours, we’ll change locations.”

“Haha, you’re a smart one, brother!” Scumbag gave Li Yi a cocky thumbs-up.

Li Yi ignored him completely, running off into the distance in an instant.

“Sigh, it’s too bad we couldn’t see what the girlie looked like.” Scumbag Wang looked utterly disappointed.

“Brothers, you saw how those three pulled aggro. Now we’ll do as they did, so you guys wait here obediently for me. Your brother’ll go pull that aggro.”

Scumbag tilted his head and walked straight toward the nearest Adult Wild Boar.

It had to be said that although Scumbag Wang was rather scummy, he was still pretty decent at copying others. Relying on the fact that he was a Warrior Class with high HP and DEF, he successfully pulled a Wild Boar to the boulder in one try.

Scumbag Wang’s dozen or so subordinates rushed it all at once, and each man got one stab in, successfully decimating the Adult Wild Boar…

“Right, just like that. Good job, brothers.” Scumbag Wang praised his subordinates for a while, then he drank a Red Potion and went to pull another monster.

One of Scumbag Wang’s subordinates was slightly confused. “A team of Adult Wild Boars would only have five boars at most. There are so many of us, so even if we take on two teams of Wild Boars at once, we’d probably still beat them, right?”

“What do you know? These are battle tactics, get it straight.”

“This guy’s new so he’s a bit unclear. Don’t blame him too much, guys.”

“If you’re unclear, then learn more and listen well. Don’t always assume you’re so smart, if you’re smarter than Leader Scum, would Leader Scum still be our boss?”

More than ten people all ganged up on one man, scolding him until he was speechless and too afraid to disagree…

Li Yi stood in the distance, watching this ‘Huashan Sect’ 2 farm their monsters. He did not know whether to laugh or cry; having more than ten people standing around while one guy pulled aggro, what kind of battle tactics were these?

‘They’re already farming so ‘efficiently’, so should I still go trip them up a bit?

‘What a dilemma…’

Moonlight Ocean and Old Li Flying Dagger were already farming monsters at a location Li Yi divulged to them.

This spot only spawned two Wild Boars every time, one after the other, and they could be finished off with a few stabs. The EXP gain rate here was even faster than it had been near the boulder.

“Just farm to your heart’s’ content here. If you run out of potions, go buy some at the village. When you come back here, follow the path I gave you, and just ignore those guys from Huashan. They don’t know the path, so even if they have twice the number of people they got now, they still wouldn’t be able to reach this place in a million years.”

As soon as Li Yi finished saying that, he jumped in front of a monster and valiantly returned to the city.

“Dammit, the EXP here ain’t much either. We’ve been farming for so long and still we only went up by 1%.”

Scumbag Wang swore. When he raised his gaze, he saw Old Li Flying Dagger and Moonlight Ocean farming monsters in the distance.

“Leader Scum, their spot seems to be better than this one.”

“Mm.” Scumbag Wang’s eyes narrowed.

“Let’s go, brother, we’re moving spots!”

With a wave of his large hand, Scumbag Wang led his followers into an uphill dash.

Two Wild Boars rushed at them, and with a few swings of the daggers in their hands, the people from the Huashan Guild settled them with ease.

Four Wild Boars rushed at them, and with a few swings of the daggers in their hands, the people from the Huashan Guild settled them with difficulty.

Eight Wild Boars rushed at them, and with a few swings of the daggers in their hands, the people from the Huashan Guild settled them with their lives on the line.

More than ten Wild Boars rushed at them, and with a few swings of the daggers in their hands, the people from the Huashan Guild screamed out in succession, and then fell to the ground one after the other.

Total annihilation…

More than ten minutes later, the ‘Huashan Sect’ gathered once more upon returning from the Novice Village, and led by Scumbag Wang, they rushed in once more.

“Don’t rush in blindly, follow behind him. I don’t believe that even with so many of us, we still can’t clear out a path.”

Several dozen seconds later…

Total annihilation…
