Chapter 615: Don’t Need a Reason
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Squeak squeak! Squeak squeak!”
The Scarab King charged repeatedly and a mere nine seconds later, it took down the black shadow that had remained standing, motionless.
The black shadow was undoubtedly Fengxi, of course, and even the location was exactly the same. After Fengxi activated Stealth and vanished, he never even moved once. He just... stayed right where he was.
“Hahahaha...”
Pretty Good Mood laughed smugly. He had guessed that Fengxi did not move, that was why he sent the Scarab King forth to attack.
Watching from his place in hiding, Li Yi felt somewhat exasperated. At first he had assumed that Fengxi was simply patient enough, but he had not expected the punk to stay right there after going into Stealth Mode.
“You lost. Go back and train for a hundred years.”
The one who said that was not Pretty Good Mood, but... Fengxi!
Pretty Good Mood’s jaw dropped open and he stared at Fengxi, shocked.
“I lost to you? Hahaha...”
“If we fought head-on, I could kill you instantly with just Chisel, Scrape, and my Finishing Blow. If I attacked you from behind, I just had to use Garrotte and you’d be dead meat. It doesn’t matter if you had your pet either, because in terms of speed, I’m twice as fast as your pet. I could totally kill you before your pet reaches me!”
Fengxi said each line matter-of-factly, as though he had actually killed Pretty Good Mood.
Pretty Good Mood gulped.
“If right now I suddenly resurrected and used Chisel and Scrape on you, could you survive?”
“Then try it.”
“The result is already set in stone, you lost...”
“F*ck you!”
Pretty Good Mood was frustrated. He was extremely bad at PK, and he was tortured each time. Now, he could finally show off a little, but his opponent was a master at theoretical debating who absolutely refused to admit defeat.
“Get up! Get up now, I tell you, and let’s fight again!”
Pretty Good Mood lost his temper. He retreated and dismissed the Scarab King, summoning a normal Fire Elemental instead. Then, he just waited there for Fengxi quietly.
After a long while, Fengxi calmly uttered one line that instantly sent Pretty Good Mood to boiling point.
“Are you addicted to torture? I’ve seen plenty of people looking for fun, but you’re the first I’ve seen to actively look for death.”
“F*ck you, could you just stop with the motherf*cking quips? If you’re really all that, just get up and fight me! If you can kill me, you can say whatever you want!”
“You think you could beat me? If I get up now and use Cyclone Step followed by Backstep, how will you dodge that? I advise you to stop seeking torture. You’re no match for me.”
Pretty Good Mood could not say anything anymore. Suddenly, he remembered a line from Gu Long’s books.
The living one lost and the dead one lost.
Pretty Good Mood shook his head, rubbed the Return City Stone, and left.
Fengxi stood up, raised his head, looked at the sky, and sighed sadly.
“Other than Boss, who else in this world is any match for me? It sure is lonely at the top, so... so lonely!”
Upon hearing that, Li Yi’s face was covered in tears. He had thought that Fengxi was a powerhouse who was so strong that no one could tell where his limits were, but after this encounter, he knew just how wrong he had been.
Everyone in Huashan was a retard. There was so much truth in those words...
Just then, another newbie Summoner, this time a cute girl, skipped out of the Newbie Village with a little wooden staff in hand.
Fengxi raised his head and looked at the sky. With a flick of his wrist and a toss of his flying knife, the Summoner girl gasped and fell to the ground.
“Big brother, um, why did you kill me?”
“Do I need a reason to kill? My name is Fengxi. If you want revenge, come look for me whenever.”
“I don’t want revenge, I just wanna play and have fun. Let’s be friends, my name is Lil Stream.”
The Summoner girl sent Fengxi a friend request, and then she corpse ran back, resurrected, and stood up. She was then killed again...
“Big brother, could you not kill me? Did I do something to offend you?” The Summoner girl was getting angry.
Fengxi said calmly, “Stand up and kill me.”
“I don’t know how to kill others and I don’t like it, either. I just wanna make friends and have fun with the game.”
When he saw the young girl corpse running again, Li Yi decided that enough was enough. He took out his Cursing Sect Outfit and put it on.
Li Yi’s Cursing Sect Outfit was only meant to be used within the confines of the Cursing Sect’s influence. However, this was in the past. Now, this Cursing Sect Outfit had been personally blessed by Pope Shirui, which meant that it broke past its level restrictions and reached Level 80. It was also no longer restricted by location, and it could now be used whenever and wherever.
Just then, the Summoner girl stood up and Fengxi shot out another throwing knife mercilessly.
“Pfft!”
At the very last moment, Li Yi used Teleport to block the throwing knife with his body. He then turned around and bowed at Lil Stream before howling, “Glory to the Evil God!”
Li Yi’s body suddenly turned red, and his speed increased by 100%. He pounced at Fengxi, hugging him, and then blew himself with a boom.
This was one of the Sect Outfit’s new abilities upon receiving Pope Shirui’s blessings...
[−5000000]
It was a hit that dealt five million damage, taking the opponent down with the caster. Fengxi did not have 220,000HP, but even if he did, he would never survive this.
The young Summoner was stunned. She had absolutely no idea what just happened. After all, she was brand new to the game, so how would she know anything about the Cursing Sect Outfit, Self-destruction, or the Evil God?
After Self-destructing, Li Yi’s body was blown to smithereens, so he could not corpse run and resurrect even if he wanted to. All he could do was respawn at the nearest temple. However, the Self-destruct ability was very useful in that it did not count as a character death. In other words, he would not drop any equipment or lose EXP. He would just be weakened for ten minutes, and after that, he would be perfectly fine.
Compared to Li Yi, Fengxi was much worse off. He was deeply steeped in the Red Name status to begin with, so the chances of him dropping equipment were extremely high. The only reason he did not drop anything after being killed so many times was that he had a special piece of equipment on him.
“Ding!”
A sparkling stone fell at Lil Stream the Summoner’s feet. The girl bent down and picked it up, reading out the inscription on it, “The Fifth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment...”
Fengxi said, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”
“Big brother, is this yours? I... I don’t know what happened either, I just moved a little and this happened. Sorry.”
Fengxi did not seem to hear what the girl said. Instead, he just murmured to himself, “It goes to show that a low-level character killing a high-level one isn’t impossible. The boss did it in the past, and now... someone else has accomplished the same.”
“C’ mon, big brother, get up. I’ll give you this stone.”
Fengxi murmured to himself for a long time, and then his body disappeared from the ground. This time, he did not corpse run. Instead, he chose to respawn in the temple, but before he disappeared, he left the young girl with a very perplexing line:
“I won’t give you the chance to kill me twice. Give it up!”
The young girl just stood there in a daze, holding the Sacramental Stone Fragment and feeling utterly lost.
As soon as Fengxi left, Li Yi arrived using Teleport. When he saw the girl standing there with the Sacramental Stone Fragment, he did not know if he should laugh or cry.
The Sacramental Stone Fragment was a good thing to have, and it would be very easy for him to obtain it now. If the Sacramental Stone Fragment was not in a player’s Backpack, its drop rate was 100%. If he just shot the girl once right now...
Lil Stream saw Li Yi and nodded at him amiably. “Good day, Big Brother Archer.”
“Good day.”
As soon as he said that, Li Yi knew that he could not ambush her any longer.
He was the best Archer in the continent. If he tried to rob a newbie, he would become a laughing stock...
...
“That stone you’re holding is a piece of divine equipment, keep it away...”
“Oh?” Lil Stream looked at the Sacramental Stone Fragment in her hands.
Li Yi did not explain any further. He just teleported back to the city.
However, he did not return to the Celestial Capital. Instead, he returned to his old base, Shattered Frost City.
Retrieving his Wish Stones from the inventory, Li Yi went to Kelly.
He had sold all of his Legendary equipment except his Wind Sword. In the beginning, the Wind Sword’s biggest advantage was its ability to reduce the cooldown of his skills, so it did not matter if he reinforced it or not. The sword’s effect would stay exactly the same.
Using the precious Wish Stones to reinforce a weapon that did not require reinforcement was just a waste...
However, Li Yi did not mind at all. He just wanted to perfect the Wind Sword as much as possible. The practicality of it was completely secondary.
Things were slightly different today, though. Li Yi walked all the way up to the reinforcement furnace, but he still did not hear Kelly’s voice. Usually, Kelly would have been boldly in his face by now, greeting him passionately.
This was strange...
Li Yi activated the reinforcement furnace, and with the help of the Wish Stones, he quickly reinforced the Wind Sword to +16.
Now that it had been reinforced to +16, the color of the Wind Sword’s surface had changed. It sparkled with a colorful glow and was extremely eye-catching.
“Lilly, my love for you will never fade. Please accept me, I love you... I love you...”
“Scram!”
“Bam!”
A figure flew out of the crowd and did a few flips on the ground before landing at Li Yi’s feet.
Kelly’s kicks were extremely vicious, and she sent several players flying with her feet every day, so Li Yi was utterly used to it. When he saw the person at his feet, though, he was still slightly stunned.
The player that Kelly had sent flying was none other than Windless Heavenly Robe.
“Lil Wind? What are you doing?”
Li Yi helped Windless Heavenly Robe up. Ever since the kid returned from the Frogmen Tribe, Li Yi had rarely seen him again.
Windless Heavenly Robe patted the dust off his clothes and grinned at Li Yi. “Dark Wing, I’ve found my true love.”
“Your true love???”
Windless Heavenly Robe pointed at Kelly. “She’s the one!”
“What do you mean, ‘true love’? Who’s ‘she’?” Li Yi was completely baffled by Windless Heavenly Robe.
Windless Heavenly Robe looked at Kelly, lost in love. “I’ve fallen for her. Whenever I dream, all I can think about is her...”
Li Yi was gobsmacked.
He fell in love with an NPC?
The NPCs in King of Pantheon looked just like real people, and if his settings were at 99% Sensory Realism, she would probably be indistinguishable from a real ‘true love’. However, if he tried to make love with her in the game, what would happen in real life? Urk... he digressed.
“Lil Wind, she’s just an NPC. She’s not real, you...”
Windless Heavenly Robe waved his hand. “No need to say a thing, Dark Wing. I’ve decided, I’ll only love her for the rest of my life, and my feelings will never change!”
“But...”
“No buts, I’ll tell you in all certainty, I love her!”
Seeing how passionate Windless Heavenly Robe was getting, Li Yi was dazed.
This kid was always extreme and obstinate. It was practically impossible to stop him.
A player who fell in love with an NPC?
Just what on earth was that?!
Windless Heavenly Robe rushed forth once more. “Lilly, please accept me!”
“Scram!”
“Bam!”
Kelly lashed out her foot again and send Windless Heavenly Robe tumbling...
