Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“F*cking hell, do you really want it? Come and take it. I’m not afraid of you!”
Jiaojiao had given up as she fell on` her back and decided to let him do as he pleased.
“Lil Jiao, come and help me carry these stuff.”
As Li Yi was at the peak of his lust, a voice came from outside the door that completely extinguished his excitement.
Jiaojiao’s mother, Xie Qin had returned.
“Why did Aunt Qin return?”
Li Yi was more anxious than a thief as he quickly got up and put on his shirt.
“I’m so confused because of your ploy. My mother... My mother was just out to get some groceries.” Jiaojiao trembled as she put on her own shirt. She was beyond terrified because the consequence of Xie Qin witnessing that scene would spell...
“I’m coming!” Jiaojiao screamed.
Li Yi finished dressing up himself.
“What were you up to, Lil Jiao? Come and help me out.”
“I’m coming.”
Jiaojiao stared at Li Yi as she ran to the door while straightening her hair. Li Yi followed along as well as it was obligatory for him to help out in matters like these.
Xie Qin was carrying a huge bag of rice as she climbed up the stairs.
“Let me help you out.”
Li Yi rushed over to take over the bag of rice from her and carried it to the house.
“I guess man indeed does have more strength.” Xie Qin smiled as she wiped the sweat off her head.
Jiaojiao frowned as she commented, “Yep, this idiot does have some strength in him.”
“Oh, my daughter. How can you say that to our neighbor?”
Xie Qin lectured Jiaojiao softly as she turned around to carry the other groceries.
Li Yi dashed here and there and did all the work which was praised profusely by Xie Qin. This made Jiaojiao roll her eyes in irritation.
“Don’t leave yet, Lil Yi. Stay and eat with us.”
Jiaojiao stared at him and discreetly made a chopping gesture, which was very easy to understand. It meant that he would pay if he dared to accept the offer.
Li Yi ignored Jiaojiao’s threatening glare as he smiled and nodded.
“Sure thing, aunt.”
Soon, the food was ready to be served. Xie Qin’s dishes was so great that Li Yi could not stop praising her. On the other hand, Jiaojiao was furious over Li Yi’s actions.
“Eat this.”
Jiaojiao took a white juicy piece of fat and placed it in his bowl.
Xie Qin started lecturing her again, “Lil Jiao, how could you give the fatty meat to our guest. Have I taught you to act like this?”
“No, but Li Yi told me that he loves eating fat meat the most. Aren’t I right?” Jiaojiao was clenching her chopsticks with her teeth as she smiled at Li Yi.
“Yes yes...” Li Yi could not refute her claim in that situation, so he had no choice but to nod his head.
“Hehe. You should eat more.”
Jiaojiao placed another piece of fat in Li Yi’s bowl. Li Yi was so full that he started burping just by staring at it.
That was too cruel, right?
Li Yi glared at Jiaojiao to express his dissatisfaction.
‘This is what you get for messing with me.’
Jiaojiao conveyed that with her stare as well.
“I didn’t know Lil Yi likes to eat fatty meat. You should eat more, don’t be shy.”
Xie Qin chose the fattiest piece in the dish and gave it to Li Yi...
Li Yi was in a pinch. “That’s enough aunt, that’s enough...”
Jiaojiao was so happy that her eyes resembled a crescent moon. “You should eat more. We still have another bowl left.”
As a guest, could he refuse these three fat slices of meat in his bowl?
How rude he would be if he were to not eat them...
Li Yi pressed on as he forced himself to eat the fatty meat.
“Oh that’s right, I hear you love eating chilis as well.”
Jiaojiao placed a hot red cluster of red peppers into his bowl, which instantly made Li Yi nauseous.
He admitted defeat...
Li Yi stared at Jiaojiao as he silently begged for mercy.
However, she was not done just yet!
The edge of Jiaojiao’s lips curled as she set her sights on the bowl of soy sauce on the table.
“Oh, I heard that... Hmm...” As Jiaojiao was about to pick up the soy sauce, her face turned pale and she decided to sit down.
“What’s wrong, Lil Jiao?” Xie Qin asked.
“No... Nothing. Let’s continue eating.”
Jiaojiao buried her face into the bowl as she shoveled her rice down her stomach.
“What’s wrong with this kid today? You’re scaring me from all this sudden anxiety you’re having.”
“I’ll go and make another dish.”
Jiaojiao did not want to sit here anymore as she took the opportunity to escape into the kitchen to avoid Li Yi.
“I’ll help out.”
Li Yi brazenly placed down his bowl and followed her.
“D*mn it Li Yi. Idiot Li Yi. F*ck you, f*ck you!”
Jiaojiao was cursing while cooking a dish with a long wooden spoon as Li Yi came from behind and hugged her.
“You you you... what are you doing? Are you crazy, my mother is just outside!”
“I have a question for you and you need to answer me truthfully or else I’ll embarrass you on the spot.”
“Stay away from me, my mother is about to come in.” Jiaojiao was on the verge of tears.
“Do you like me?”
“No,” Jiaojiao responded immediately.
“Then, who do you like?”
“I don’t like anyone. I only like myself.”
“If you don’t like me, why are you not angry when I’m treating you like this?”
“Who says I’m not angry? Please, I’m very angry at you right now!”
“What if someone else treats you like this?”
Jiaojiao got away from him and said, “I’ll kill him!”
“What about me?”
Jiaojiao was stunned.
Although she was disgusted with Li Yi’s actions, she had never thought of killing him at all.
“I... I...”
Li Yi released Jiaojiao, pulled her face to face his and gave her a good kiss. Then, he turned around and left.
“Jiaojiao, let me handle the rest. You should go and accompany Lil Yi.”
“F*ck you, f*ck you...”
Jiaojiao was waving the spoon in her hand and turned a deaf ear on her mother’s words...
That night, Li Yi slept like a baby whereas Jiaojiao could not sleep at all...
...
Not a single bottle of his Divine Essence Potion was sold in the Auction House. However, Li Yi was unfazed by it. In fact, he raised the price to 30 Gold Coins per bottle!
It was a scam, an obvious scam at that...
The Divine Essence Potion was a common item at the later stages of the game. However, Li Yi had yet to spot a second person to synthesize this Potion.
The Divine Essence Formula could only be obtained from Zangila. Taking out the factor whether anyone was able to kill him, the chances of acquiring the formula was close to nonexistent.
He decided to monopolize it as it was something that only he had. This was Li Yi’s approach towards the situation.
Li Yi loitered around the Auction House until Little Elf from the Magical Realm and her friends came online. The party members were the same and Li Yi brought them to the Dragonbone Waste as they gathered up.
The battle in the Dragonbone Waste did not stop ever since this map was released.
Many players were ambushed on their journey to the Instance Dungeon. Since it was only natural to fight back against those who attacked you, their hatred towards each other became stronger and the battlefield had expanded over time. The relationship among the three camps had worsened since the release of Light and Darkness Instance Dungeon.
Xu Man and the rest were not aware that the timing Li Yi had chosen was extremely brilliant as he would avoid the King of Souls whenever he entered or exited the dungeon. It was the same this time as well as he brought the four ladies to the area after the King of Souls had finished its patrol.
The Ancient Civilization Ruins was filled with players’ corpses. As players who were killed by the King of Souls would respawn only after five hours, they had no choice but to wait patiently whether they liked it or not.
As the five-man dungeon’s setting would reset once every three days (one day in real life), it was very likely for them to challenge the Man and Woman today.
Li Yi lured the spawns by exploiting their bugs as usual. Since the four ladies had familiarized themselves with this dungeon, they were much faster as compared to yesterday.
Five of them soon reached the first boss, the Kobold General.
Li Yi was shocked when he checked the Instance Dungeon record as there were already ten parties that had cleared the Kobold General. It was much more than he anticipated.
As they already knew how to fight the boss, Li Yi did not have to give any explanations this time around. He ordered the Violent Bear King to initiate the battle.
“Which b*stard dares to attack me? Do you have a death wish?”
The Kobold General muttered its annoying scripted lines as it slashed the Violent Bear King with its greataxe.
Although they had cleared it yesterday, the Kobold General attack pattern was extremely random. It would release a critical strike and shifted its Aggro onto someone else whenever he wished to. It was so random that many people found it hard to react to its actions in time.
The Kobold General landed two critical strikes in a row and the Violent Bear King was not able to tank it. Their first try was a tragedy and even Li Yi was killed instantly by the Kobold General.
It was a total party wipe...
Their second attempt was even worse than their first. Although the Violent Bear King was able to tank it, but then Kobold General released its cross slash. Since they were grouped together, they could not evade it even if they tried...
They ran back to their corpses and attempted another raid once more but to no avail...
“Let’s stop, for now, everybody have a seat.” Li Yi started to worry.
While it was completely normal to be wiped out when facing a boss they had never faced before, every player would bound to be frustrated if they were stuck at a boss that they had cleared before.
“Our formation is good but we’re very unlucky since this Kobold keeps going berserk.” Little Elf from the Magical Realm said with frustration.
“While luck is indeed a factor, what’s most crucial is our teamwork. Since we are a party, it’s important to be aware of the current situation. For example, when the Violent Bear King has fallen, what should you guys do? Ice should immediately act as a temporary tank. In order for the boss to focus on her, she has to use a few major skills. While she’s doing so, I’ll break away from the battle to revive my pet. When the temporary tank is about to be killed by the boss, one of you guys need to take on the boss’ aggro to share the load. This... This is what we call team awareness.”
Li Yi’s explanation was simple as the four of them understood him. However, what they were lacking was not awareness but cooperation...
“Stand up, let’s try again.”
Li Yi clapped as he summoned the Violent Bear King.
Then, Li Yi received a message. It was a mail from Jiaojiao.
“I’ve already cleared the Cassius’s Psyche, but why have I become an Archer?”
