Li Yi had always felt that saving Shen Lang and recruiting him into Little Drunk Cats was a really worthwhile move.
With unparalleled investigative capabilities, he had managed to help Li Yi through numerous tough situations. Furthermore, with Shen Lang’s words earlier, Li Yi could not help but feel fortunate to have this guy as a friend instead of a foe.
Li Yi having Brother Windcloud Nine buyout the Wang Enterprise in secret was something that he had not brought up to anyone, including his own girls.
However, “Shen Lang” managed to somehow link it to Li Yi just based off of the hints given from his client’s request. What a terrifying investigative ability!
If it was not for Shen Lang’s clarification, Li Yi would not even have known that the name “Su Xiaomeng” was the real name of Sister Windcloud Nine.
At this point, Brother Windcloud Nine was not awake yet, but Li Yi guessed that it was him who asked Sister Windcloud Nine to start buying out the Wang Enterprise on his behalf.
The meaning behind Shen Lang’s phone call was quite obvious. He was trying to ask Li Yi whether he should tell Wang Leitian that this Su Xiaomeng was actually Sister Windcloud NIne.
Li Yi replied, “One less thing to worry about is always better. Regarding this situation, it’s better to not be so transparent.”
Shen Lang caught the meaning behind his words as he acknowledged the order before hanging up.
Now, Li Yi was faced with the “Tomb of Kings” dungeon, the last part of his quest.
The quest required him to completely absorb all the black clouds that Dark Emperor Prado unleashes, not leaving a single one behind. Then, he had to sue the Emperor’s Sword to pierce through its heart.
Wielding the Emperor’s sword would halve the movement speed and attack speed of the user, whereas wearing the White Hall of Fame Equipment Set would basically leave the user’s DEF at zero. The difficulty of defeating the Dark Emperor Prado with these two pieces of legendary equipment equipped was harder than anyone could even imagine.
In this final segment, outsiders could not help much. When Qian’er followed Li Yi here, she was instantly hit Prado’s life-stealing skill, immediately getting killed.
The dungeon Li Yi was in right now was no ordinary dungeon, this was the dungeon’s “quest mode”. In this final segment, the quest did not allow any external interference. The player had to rely on himself. So, even if Li Yi managed to get a full party of 40 players, the result would still be the same.
“Pshhhhhhhh——”
Dark Emperor Prado’s body split up, turning into numerous black clouds, covering the entire altar.
Li Yi, clad in his Hall of Fame Equipment Set and wielding his Emperor’s Sword, started running all around the play area.
As an effect of the White Hall of Fame Equipment Set, the Dark Emperor Prado’s black clouds could not damage him. On the contrary, every time he absorbed a black cloud, Li Yi’s HP went up by a bit.
In this segment, Li Yi could not lend the strength of anyone, God Mode was banned, and pets and mercenaries could not be summoned. Li Yi could only rely on himself
From left to right, then from right back over to left, Li Yi ran a whole round around the area. By then, there were barely any clouds left.
However, at this time, some of the black clouds had started to dissipate due to being on the field for too long…
FAILURE!
Not a single black cloud was allowed to dissipate. Only by absorbing all the black clouds on the field would players be able to satisfy the requirements of the quest.
Li Yi helplessly sighed as he took off his Hall of Fame Equipment Set and removed his Emperor’s Sword. All the black clouds that he had absorbed was instantly released. He had also been successfully Defected, turning into the Dark Emperor’s servant.
The challenge has failed, time to corpse run and retry!
If the player could not satisfy the requirements, there was no merit even killing the boss. Furthermore, the cooldown for this quest was the same as the normal counterpart for this dungeon. If Li Yi had accidentally killed the boss, then no matter if he managed to complete the quest or not, he had to wait till the cooldown finishes to retry.
Thus, when he failed to fulfill the quest requirements, the best option for Li Yi right now was to voluntarily commit suicide and try again.
“My little brother came to find me.”
Just as Li Yi re-entered the dungeon, preparing to challenge the dungeon once more, Qian’er sent him a message before immediately going offline.
After briefly being stunned, Li Yi instantly abandoned his challenge and went offline.
When he got downstairs and barged into the room, Big Boy, along with his good friend Bai Jie, were sitting on the couch chatting with Qian’er.
The moment Big Boy saw Li Yi, he immediately stood up.
“Yo! Is this the legendary God of Archery of the Invincible Continent – Dark Wing?”
His tone was quite unfriendly.
Li Yi, completely unfazed, smiled as he reached his hand out offering a handshake to Big Boy.
Big Boy was Qian’er’s blood-related little brother. He was also one of the main reasons he broke down emotionally in his past life.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Bai Jie, we’ve met before.”
Big Boy did not reach out his hand, so the lovely little beauty Bai Jie voluntarily stood up and shook Li Yi’s hand, trying to reduce the awkward atmosphere.
Qian’er, who was seated on the sofa next to Big Boy, angrily glared daggers at Big Boy.
When Li Yi sat down, Big Boy started to glare at him. Bai Jie and Qian’er quickly held each others’ hands tightly as they lowered their heads, not uttering a single word. The atmosphere was quite awkward and tense.
Big Boy continued to glare at Li Yi as he said straightforwardly, “I’ll get to the point. The reason I’ve come here today is to bring my sister back. My old man had already decided that by the end of the month, my sister is to get married to King Fifth.”
All eyes were now on Li Yi, Qian’er included.
Li Yi smiled.
“Whether your sister goes back or not is up to her. If she wants to leave, I won’t stop her. However, if she doesn’t want to leave…” Li Yi’s voice turned cold. “I won’t let anyone take her away, much less someone like you.”
Qian’er, her head still low, did not say a single word. She just held on to Bai Jie’s hand tightly as she fiddled with it repeatedly like a cat, causing Bai Jie to start to frown.
Although he was affected by Li Yi quite a bit, in her heart, Qian’er still liked girls more…
“Girls are easily caught up by their emotions, so I’m not planning to inquire on my dear sister’s opinion on this.” Big Boy lied down on the sofa and said, “No matter what, I’m gonna take her away.”
“You wanna take Qian’er away? Have you asked for my permission?”
Before Li Yi even said anything, Jiaojiao haughtily barged into the room. She walked up to Big Boy with her hands at her waist, angrily glaring at him.
I Boy’s eyes suddenly widened. He stood up and passionately reached his hand out at Jiaojiao.
“You must be the legendary Queen Jiao, right? Nice to meet you, I’m Big Boy…”
“F*ck off and die!”
Jiaojiao did not even bother looking him in the eye. She just marched up to Qian’er and started dragging her back to the bedroom.
“As long as I’m here, no one can take you away!”
Qian’er suddenly blushed as she tried to explain herself. However, in the heat of the moment, she could barely convey her thoughts.
“Jiaojiao, it’s not like that, it’s not…”
At this point, Big Boy suddenly shouted, “That’s no fun, that’s no fun! My brother-in-law is not angry at all! Sis, I don’t wanna play anymore.”
Jiaojiao’s eyes widened as she started to feel dubious.
“Brother-in-law? Don’t wanna play?”
At this point, Qian’er had already been dragged all the way over to the entrance to the bedroom. She hurriedly said, “My little brother had always listened to me since he was a kid. If I say A, he would never say B. Although dad did ask him to come and take me back, if I wasn’t willing, he definitely wouldn’t force me. Just now, he was just playing a prank with you guys…”
“Prank?” Jiaojiao was dumbstruck. She looked over to Li Yi and then, Qian’er as she briefly stared idly at them for a few seconds. Then, she angrily slapped away Qian’er’s hands.
“How dare you toy with my emotions!”
“Bam!”
Jiaojiao entered the bedroom alone and slammed the door shut.
“Hey! Dear brother-in-law, about what had happened earlier, please don’t get mad.”
Big Boy stood up with a huge grin on his face as he put his arm around Li Yi’s neck. He whispered, “How do I put it… Are you into swinging?”
“What?”
“I’ll trade you Bai Jie for your Queen Jiao.” Big Boy said with a serious face.
