A pure white Light Ball flew over frenziedly on the mountain path and smashed against Li Yi’s chest.
“Puff!”
The white horse dissolved on its own before Li Yi grasped his bow and looked coldly at the white-robed man who stood in front of him.
This was the White Elves’ Light Priest, God Creator Guild’s Chief Healer, Nirvana Inaction.
“Hello, allow me to introduce myself briefly. I’m Nirvana Inaction…”
Li Yi interrupted Nirvana Inaction and said, “You carried out a sneak attack on me but you’re introducing yourself now. I don’t really understand what you’re trying to do so could you explain yourself a little first?”
Nirvana Inaction cupped his hand in the other before his chest and said, “I’m sorry, your speed was too fast. If I hadn’t taken action earlier, I would never have able to catch up to you at all.
“I’d like to buy a few spots for the Major Cannon King title.”
“Oh? How many of you are there?”
“4 people.”
“No problem, just pay up first and we’ll arrange everything later. There’s an empty slot the day after tomorrow.”
Nirvana Inaction smiled faintly and sent 8000 Gold Coins to Li Yi immediately.
“That was straightforward. Please come to Heart of the Fire the day after tomorrow.”
Li Yi summoned his white horse. The horse had just galloped a few steps away before Li Yi got down and shot an arrow at Nirvana Inaction.
“Puff!”
[-158]
That single arrow struck down 95% of Nirvana Inaction’s HP.
“We’re even now.”
Li Yi smiled gleefully and got back on the horse while Nirvana Inaction was rooted on the spot in a dumbstruck state.
…
Inside a magnificent hall, the members of Dark Empire Guild sat together in a circle and listened quietly and respectfully to Li Yi’s explanations.
No matter where the guild’s Virtual Meeting Room was located, anyone could enter the meeting room immediately as long as the owner sent an invitation to them.
The cost to build this meeting room was over 500,000 Gold Coins. It was one of Chu Tiange’s large-scale projects that were completed only recently.
Only guild members were allowed to enter and exit this place. Thus, there were two main reasons to discuss matters inside here. Firstly, unnecessary quarrels could be prevented. Secondly, privacy could be maintained.
There was a total of 48 people inside the meeting room including Li Yi. As more than half of them had cleared Fire Beast previously, Li Yi was prompted not to waste time while speaking.
“I meant that we should fight Fire Beast once again. If we can clear it, we should press on to Molten Furnace in riding the momentum. However, if we can’t even clear Fire Beast, then we shouldn’t go to Molten because we’ll just be sending ourselves to our deaths.”
“I agree with Dark Wing’s opinion.” Chu Tiange was the first to make his stance clear.
Delicately Cute did not state any opinions but it was considered that she had accepted it tacitly.
If neither of the two leaders had any objections, it would be useless even if everyone else disagreed. Thus, this matter was determined quickly.
Li Yi spoke again, “Those who have never fought Fire Beast with me, please stand on the left side automatically. I’ll come there myself and instruct you how to fight it in a little while.”
The party shifted before seven people stood on the left side.
“There are eight new members to fill up the places this time and one more person.” Delicately Cute checked it briefly before shouting, “Invincible Jiaojiao, please fall out.”
Li Yi’s body stiffened.
“What are you doing? If you have anything to say, just say it directly. You’re making us stand left and right, don’t you think it’s tiring?” A female Dark Elf walked out of the party.
“Jiaojiao?” Li Yi’s throat became slightly hoarse.
The Dark Elf arched one of her shapely eyebrows and said, “Who are you? Do I know you? Are you trying to take advantage of me by speaking so intimately to me?”
When he confirmed that the person before his eyes was really the Jiaojiao that he knew, Li Yi was already completely dumbstruck.
Li Yi did not have a favorable impression of Dark Empire at all. He had never imagined that Chu Tiange would be so driven throughout the development of this guild. However, his management values had doomed him to become a failure. Li Yi remembered that numerous people had advised Chu Tiange in his previous life that he could spend money on the guild but not to simply squander it. Moreover, if he wasted money on everything, the hearts of his subordinates would darken.
He, however, did not pay them any mind. He only understood how wrong his previous actions were when his company went out of business and the guild disbanded.
Li Yi could help the guild produce a few first kills so that Dark Empire could advance even further, but that was all.
Other than that, there was only one reason why Li Yi remained in Dark Empire Guild.
He was waiting for the two women to settle their old scores from their previous lives.
These two women were called Invincible Jiaojiao and Wind-on-Snow.
In his previous life when Li Yi had provoked Lil Yu of the Lin Family (Lin Yu), two of the people whom Delicately Cute had sought from Dark Empire to fatally pursue him were Jiaojiao and Wind-on-Snow.
“This person has neither equipment nor level. Sister Snow, wouldn’t it be too much if we just killed him like this?”
Li Yi still remembered how Jiaojiao trod on his corpse with one foot while lamenting and blaming herself.
“We’ll just let him go then.”
“We’ll get 500 Gold Coins each time we kill him but we should just let him off instead?”
“Let him go, he didn’t do anything wrong so let’s just leave.”
“Consider yourself lucky!”
Jiaojiao snapped a few pictures of Li Yi’s corpse before leaving with Wind-on-Snow extremely reluctantly.
This was Li Yi’s first encounter with them.
Their second encounter was at Pinnacle of the Fire. Li Yi was engaging in a decisive battle with an enemy before the Dark Elf Archer Jiaojiao launched a sneak attack secretly and got rid of Li Yi’s enemy.
“Don’t misunderstand, that person was my enemy too. You may proceed.”
Neither of them could continue as that enemy had found a mob that forced them to the ground in a spawn camp.
“How tragic, my greatest dream was to die beside my beloved. I’d truly never imagined that… Sigh, I’d actually die alongside a pig.”
“…”
Both of them were guarded by their opponent for one day and one night before Wind-on-Snow finally brought people over and saved them.
Jiaojiao patted Li Yi’s shoulder and said, “We can consider that we’ve lived and died together. Why don’t we go to the next dungeon together? All of the equipment that appears will belong to me while you can be my training partner to repay me.”
“Alright,” agreed Li Yi.
The trio sent each other friend requests. Once they had cleared Heart of the Fire, their friendship was established then.
Wind-on-Snow and Jiaojiao were Li Yi’s friends whom he had met the earliest in the Pantheon game. They were also his only friends…
His friendship with Jiaojiao grew more intimate because of an accident that occurred in real life.
Jiaojiao and Li Yi were not in the same city but surprising coincidences often existed in the matters of this world. The encounter between Jiaojiao and Li Yi was one of these incidents.
Due to certain matters, Jiaojiao and her mother had moved from another city to the city where Li Yi was located. As luck would have it, the place where they stayed was above Li Yi’s home.
Jiaojiao had an extremely domineering personality. In Li Yi’s own words, she was basically a female gangster.
Li Yi did not know at that time that Jiaojiao had moved into the place above him and he had never asked her about it in the game. However, that previous explosive incident occurred because Jiaojiao would always turn the volume up high and jump around upstairs…
He was disturbed by her loud noises when he was playing the game. Li Yi endured it until he could not take it anymore before he ran upstairs and kicked her door.
“You jump around from morning till night so try paying some attention to others.”
Jiaojiao who had cucumber slices on her face and was dressed from head to toe in figure-hugging sportswear opened the door and glared at Li Yi.
“Who are you? To think that you’d actually dare concern yourself with my business.”
Li Yi calmly said, “Just turn your volume down slightly and go downstairs if you wanna dance. Do you know that you’ve already disturbed your next-door neighbors?”
“That’s none of your business. What’s the matter, are you trying to fight with me? Do you believe that I can get more than a hundred guys to come and f*ck you in the *ss with just one phone call?”
Jiaojiao made a vulgar gesture in his direction fiercely before a few of the cucumber slices on her face fell off.
“Idiot!”
Li Yi cursed loudly and slammed the door furiously before going downstairs.
