“I chant every single day, why isn’t my husband awake?”
“Patience is key, and I never said that your husband would definitely wake up.”
“Boohoo… so is the spell useless?”
“I never said that. If you do it, there’s a chance of success. If you don’t, the chance doesn’t even exist. Do you understand?”
“Okay.”
“Anything else?”
“Ah, yes.”
Sister Windcloud Nine had not looked for Li Yi only to ask about a spell, but there was another curious matter.
“You did not hear it from me, but…” She lowered her voice.
Currently, Brother Windcloud Nine had people farming at the Foreignland Entrance around the clock. He was fortunate. He had killed all twelve Demon Generals and completed the ‘Miracle of Will’.
In the process, some Demon Generals who were killed would, from time to time, drop something called a Mysterious Scroll. There was nothing written on it, and it could not be used directly. Everyone thought it was trash until there was this one time where Sister Windcloud Nine died and forced out of Foreignland, returned alone, got lost, and stumbled upon a very eerie place, where she met a mysterious NPC cloaked in a black robe.
The mysterious NPC asked for a Mysterious Scroll. She had it on her and handed it over. The NPC unexpectedly waved its hands, chanted, and the scroll immediately transformed.
The name changed; it became a Holy Infusion Scroll.
Sister Windcloud Nine brought it to her husband. After trying it, he found that the scroll could add the Holy attribute to equipment!
Brother Windcloud Nine mulled over the over and decided to inform Li Yi. So, Sister Windcloud Nine got in touch with.
“Holy Infusion Scroll?”
Li Yi was astonished.
The scroll had the same effect as an Attribute Infusion. The difference was that Attribute Infusion could be repeatedly used, whereas the scroll was a consumable. Whether it succeeded or failed, it would disappear upon usage.
Li Yi was no stranger to this item. Very few players, even in his past life, knew the trick of Attribute Infusion. As a result, the Holy Infusion Scroll would be a necessity for players that wanted to carry out infusions.
However…
In his past life, such scrolls would only be dropped by monsters that were in the Sixth Demonic Domain or above. Why was it found in the Seventh Demonic Domain?
When did this change happen?
Li Yi narrowed his brows.
“Sister Nine, about this mysterious scroll, did you tell anybody about it?”
“I haven’t told anyone except you. Tee-hee!”
Sister Windcloud Nine sent a smiley, and Li Yi could not help but laugh. ‘What about your husband?’ He thought.
“Very well, thank you.”
“No problem.”
After the call ended, Li Yi opened the channel exclusive to Guild Leaders and contacted prominent figures in the Iron Alliance, such as Jiaojiao and Confused Fox.
“Mysterious scroll? We got some during battle, but everyone told me to throw them away…”
“What’s it used for?” Confused Fox was confused.
“I still have some, didn’t know what to do about it.” Flower Underpants was surprised.
“Keep them, I was just told by Sister Nine that…”
Li Yi did not bother to hide anything. He told them everything.
“It can’t be real.”
“We can imbue the Holy attribute with this?”
“Dang it! I had three, I tried to find a use for them but couldn’t. Everyone told me to just throw them away…”
“We’ll collect them from now on!”
Li Yi gave a sigh of relief after he explained everything.
He could have collected them without anyone knowing and made a profit out of it. The reason why he refrained to do so was that he wanted to quickly improve the overall strength of the Iron Alliance.
Although he knew Attribute Infusion, if he abused it to improve the combat effectiveness of all members of the Iron Alliance, it would inevitably upset the other players.
Unless others also knew Attribute Infusion, he would never reveal it. He knew from his past life that an overfed swine would be his bane.
Li Yi was not short of money. Hoarding Mysterious Scrolls could indeed earn him a lot, but it was not worth the loss if the overall strength of the Iron Alliance failed to improve.
With the Mysterious Scrolls, all their problems would be solved. It meant that he could secretly use Attribute Infusion to infuse the equipment of his members. If outsiders suspected anything, the Holy Infusion Scrolls could take the blame.
[Congratulations, you have successfully infused your equipment. It is now Holy +64!]
Holy +64!
The cheery ringtone caught Li Yi’s diverted attention. Gazing at his hands, the Wrath of the Stars was exhibiting colorful lights, he had been subconsciously infusing it…
“Stop!”
Li Yi raised his hands out of the way, forcing the infusion to stop. Watching the Wrath of the Stars shine with a vibrant glow, he wiped away his sweat.
While he was chatting with the Alliance members, he had not paid attention to the infusion, whether it succeeded or failed. Unknowingly, he had upgraded it to a Holy attribute points of +64. Fortunately, he noticed it and narrowly avoided the 95% chance of failure. Anymore failure and there would be no return from his hard-earned investment.
Holy +64, would meet the demands of that damned Goddess?
As expected, the figure of the Hunter Goddess emerged. Compared with before, the appearance of the Hunter Goddess now looked more solid and human.
Pale and tall, she had a pair of fine-looking slender legs. She was barefoot, with raven hair cascading down her back. She sported an endearing cropped leather top and a pair of leather shorts, revealing slightly her enticing and dainty navel.
“Warrior, I feel a strong force flowing within the Wrath of the Stars…”
“O, Goddess! Break the seal, do not pull any punches, prithee!”
“I shall grant thy wish to the best of my abilities.”
The Hunter Goddess possessed the Wrath of the Stars, and the bow turned red. The bow was being upgraded and thus unavailable for the time being.
Li Yi stored the bow in his backpack cheerfully. He could not help but reach out and pinch the Mermaid Princess’ cheeks.
“I see the pervert has extended his jurisdiction to a bloody pet!”
An angry Miss Jiao could be heard from his room.
“My chili, have you come to sing for your charming prince?”
“F*ck off!”
Five minutes later, the lovely Mermaid Princess looked at her master in amazement, he was gasping heavily.
“Master… are you okay?”
“It’s nothing, carry on.”
“Alright.”
“Go up a bit, right, higher… yes… harder…”
Very amusing, inside, and outside of the game.
…
The acquisition of the Mysterious Scrolls was carried out in secret. After the leaders of the Iron Alliance learned about it, no one had publicized it. The purchases were made in secret. Brother Windcloud Nine, acting against his character, was exceptionally discreet. Such endeavors were best done behind closed doors. The fewer people who knew about it, the better.
The mass acquisition of the Mysterious Scrolls was underway, and Li Yi’s plan to put his Attribute Infusion into operation was also being covertly carried out…
The first person to accept his plan was Jiaojiao. While Li Yi attempted to discuss it, the furious Jiaojiao called him names.
“Jiaojiao, come visit me in Shattered Frost City.”
“What for?”
“I shall infuse you.”
“What? Go away you stinking pervert!”
“I—”
After putting in some work, Jiaojiao finally relented and came to his house.
She made herself fully at home. She threw all her equipment to the ground and immediately went offline with her character stark naked.
“Lil Yi’zi, do this right and I’ll make it worth your while.”
Li Yi felt mad and entertained at the same time.
The first thing to infuse was her weapon, Lord of Disaster.
More than a dozen Holy Crystals were thrown into it, and eventually, Lord of Disaster became Holy +16.
That was it.
Li Yi stopped when he saw it and went to gather other equipment. Each time he got it to Holy +8, he would stop and infuse another.
Lord of Disaster did not have a seal to break, hence there was no need to test his luck. He could just focus on raising the Holy attribute points.
At the end of this, all her equipment was at +60.
This number was pretty good, and with her unbelievable Orange-colored Ring which raised her Territory Rank by one, few players stood a chance against the big girl.
Once done with all her equipment, he had only 30 Holy Crystals left.
While the effect of the Mysterious Scrolls remained unknown, the price of Holy Crystals had gradually skyrocketed.
The requirement of Holy Crystals to forge equipment alone would keep the price from falling.
With Li Yi’s financial resources, the price was nothing to him, but to buy things that were worth ten times less than the asking price did not sit well with him.
His equipment, the bow included, had a total of 220 Holy attribute points. It was a terrifying figure even in his past life.
His Holy attribute points were more than enough to face the Seventh Demon God, so there was no reason to continue buying those overpriced Holy Crystals.
His next target for infusion was Qian’er.
During Li Yi’s excursion to the Merland, Qian’er went to the Pantheon Ruins alone and could now use Territory Power.
Li Yi sent Qian’er a brief message which wrote: Shattered Frost, home.
Qian’er promptly arrived. Frank and straightforward.
Li Yi was even more so.
“Hand over your weapon and take your clothes off. Take them off, take them all off.”
