Chapter 126: Mysterious Woman in Black
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Little Elf from the Magical Realm was dead, yet Li Yi still relied on Violent Bear King’s protection as Wind Rage buff surged up to level 98, torturing Felina to death.
[Passed!]
The moment Little Elf from the Magical Realm who was lying on the ground heard the notification of the System, she could not believe her ears.
She finally completed a small step in an Epic-Level Class Quest.
“Thank you...” Still laying on the ground, Little Elf from the Magical Realm thanked Li Yi.
“You’re welcome,” Li Yi stole a few glances at Little Elf from the Magical Realm before casting his Return City Stone.
...
Li Yi did not put to waste the Devil Equipment Set that Jiaojiao refused the last time. Upon reaching home, he had Sif put it on.
However, it was a shame that Sif did not have the makings of a queen. She felt embarrassed wearing the sexy outfit and was not able to carry the presence that a queen should have.
“You’ll be a real Elf Queen in the future. So please, show some regal bearing, okay? Lash that whip, hold your head up high and straighten up your back. Show them who’s boss.”
“Despicable!” Sif gritted her teeth and refused.
Indeed, the person most suitable for this outfit was only Jiaojiao.
It has been a few days since he saw Jiaojiao. He was beginning to miss her. He took out the few photos that he had secretly taken of her and started to admire them...
...
For the next few days, Li Yi was not up to anything. Apart from his daily monster-farming to level up, performing the day-to-day official duties and releasing brigands, he spent his remaining time in the Auction House.
First was because the Fire Crystal Rocks were about to be sold off, second was because he had learned Beginner Level and Intermediate Level Flame Arrow Crafting Tome but had not been able to wholly collect materials required.
Arrows with add-on attributes were very rare so one could imagine its force. Hence, the immense difficulty in crafting such arrows. It was a list of over decades of materials with not a single one that could be omitted. There was also a chance of failure to craft.
Fire Crystal Rocks could only be kept for a short period of time or else by then, players would be dropped with more and more Fire Crystal Rocks, and the price would drop as well. They were going to sell at the stage to those who were in a rush to clear an Instance Dungeon.
Once Fire Crystal Rock’s price increased by four times, Li Yi informed that the stocks could now be sold off.
Although the highest surge was more than five times. However, due to the large accumulation of stock, letting go of it all at the same time would cause the price to drop as well. He thought about it for long before deciding on this path.
Li Yi invested 8,000,000 Gold Coins and the profit was up to four times its value, earning him more than 30,000,000 Gold Coins!
This number was enough to make any regular players go wild. Even Yang and Fire Ice were biting their tongues from buying too little. If they knew it was going to increase that much, they would have borrowed some cash to get more...
Of course, as Little Drunk Cat Guild was taking part in Fire Devil Dungeon, Li Yi conserved a portion of Fire Crystal Rocks from retail but even so, the total profit was still a staggering 40,000,000 Gold Coins.
Confused Fox doubled the promised 10% bonus and sent Li Yi 20%. Although Li Yi was adamant in rejecting it, Shangguan Bailu was uncompromising and mailed them over instead. Li Yi was going to be in an awkward position for a while.
Hoarding Fire Crystal Rocks prospered Li Yi and the rest but those that sold it at dirt cheap price were bawling their eyes out.
It has only been a few days since they sold their magic crystal rocks cheaply and now they were buying them back at such a high price...
The crystal rocks in Fire Devil Dungeon was exhausting at a terrifying rate. Not only was it required at the door, if players were to die in the dungeon, Resurrection Spells alike were completely useless. They could only run their corpse back to the dungeon and the price was to pay the System one magic crystal rock.
Star Fire Guild was the most down in the dumps. It was said that Yang Xingchen was banned by the System from logging in for 15 days and that he smashed three mobile phones in frustration. When he heard about the price jump of Fire Crystal Rocks, he swore the heck out and almost left his own living room completely destroyed.
Some were happy some were sad. The latest hot topic, apart from the continuous first kills achieved by Little Drunk Cat Guild, was another sensational event.
Dark Empire announced their plans to go elite, retaining only over two hundred members. The rest were kicked out of the guild.
Chu Tiange’s decision was the beginning of Dark Empire’s tragedy. Those who were kicked out of the guild were spamming with curses. The official website forums were filled with hate articles on Dark Empire.
Li Yi received the news first hand because Delicately Cute sent him a PM.
“Tiange isn’t in a good situation now, his capitals are frozen. If no one is willing to help him, it wouldn’t be long before he has to quit Pantheon.”
Looking for Li Yi and Chen Yang yet she hit up a snag everywhere. Delicately Cute was really exhausted of options.
“The current remaining members of Dark Empire are all employees of Guild Master Chu’s company in reality?”
“Yes.”
“The price of Blood Red Grass will surge. You can let those under Guild Master Chu’s organization specifically collect them.”
Delicately Cute was momentarily stunned before she responded overwhelmingly, “Thank you!”
She did not even bother to ask the reason of Blood Red Grass’ price surge and scurried off to report back. She was no longer in the position to question Li Yi.
Truth be told, Blood Red Grass’ price has always been constant. The reason for Li Yi’s supposed price surge was due to his demand to purchase in bulk. It was by chance that there was not enough supply in the Auction House. Moreover, Chu Tiange was not a bad guy so why not lend him a hand when both parties would benefit mutually?
On the other hand, Pretty Good Mood had led Little Drunk Cat’s Main Legion elites to test the waters in Fire Devil dungeon. There was not much of a progress as they were stuck on the first boss.
This has to be taken one step at a time and could not be rushed. In order for him to grow, he must experience more tribulations.
...
In a private room on the second floor of Linda’s Tavern in Shattered Frost City, sat Li Yi and a woman in black.
She was the leader of Platinum Hand, the mysterious founder.
Her face was covered with a veil, her hair was tied up in a bun and her name concealed, this leader was ever-the-more low key and mysterious than Li Yi.
The two sat in silence for more than ten minutes. This mysterious woman in black remained silent until Li Yi lost his patience and broke the silence, “Can you introduce yourself?”
“Sorry, my identity is too sensitive so I can’t let anyone see my face, my name as well... I’m really sorry.”
Not only did the mysterious woman in black reject, but she also did not speak a word. She was communicating with him via text.
Being so elusive, could she be a mistress of some big shot?
Li Yi checked this woman in black from head to toe several times until she became uncomfortable. She lowered her head, not daring to make any eye contact.
“Whatever request you have, just say the word and as long as Platinum Hand is able, we will satisfy your request,” the woman in black texted.
Li Yi smiled, “I wish to see your face and name, that’s all.”
He had always been fairly curious about Platinum Hand since his past life. Now that he has encountered a chance, why not satisfy his curiosity for once?
“Sorry, I can’t abide by this request,” The mysterious woman in black was adamant.
Li Yi shrugged helplessly, “Then I have no other requests.”
“So you’re saying that you agree to join Platinum Hand?” The mysterious woman in black lifted her head and looked at Li Yi expectantly.
She was familiar. The moment they exchanged glances, a familiar figure flashed through Li Yi’s mind.
Could it be her?
Er, it couldn’t be. It was absurd.
Li Yi nodded, “We’ll talk about my request in the future. I’ll join Platinum Hand first.”
This time, the mysterious woman in black did not type her response. She extended her arm, “Congratulations on joining Platinum Hand.”
It was a melodious voice.
Li Yi reached out his hand to shake, “The same to you, it’s good that what concerns me the most didn’t happen.”
“What were you worried about?” The mysterious woman was puzzled.
“That the leader was a mute.”
The mysterious woman in black, “...”
And so, Li Yi joined Platinum Hand and obtained a list of Platinum Hand members from the mysterious woman.
Platinum Hand members came from various guilds. They were normally elusive but this was now no longer a secret with Li Yi in the know.
Platinum Hand currently has 67 members. At least half of them were freaking top crowds that Li Yi was familiar with in his past life. As for the other half, he has never met them before. Perhaps they stopped playing upon disbandment of Platinum Hand.
“Organizational activities are completely voluntary. You can choose to go or not but there’s one thing though, this organizational list must be kept secret. It is also prohibited to fight among members. I think that’s all.”
The mysterious woman in black’s voice was sweet-sounding. When she was explaining the rules and regulations to Li Yi, Li Yi was so mesmerized by her voice that he forgot what she had said...
“Can I ask if you’re a commander?”
“No.”
“That’s great...” Li Yi let out a sigh of relief.
“Why?”
Should a melodious voice such as this be in command, many would ignore the command. How could one be in focus to clear a dungeon?
“I have a question to ask you,” Seeing Li Yi did not respond, the mysterious woman in black typed a line.
“Ask.”
“How did you pass the fourth stage of Shakra?”
“You wanna know?”
“Yes.”
“Take down your cover and reveal your name.”
“Mmm, err...”
Platinum Hand was thrash on dungeon tactics. After Little Drunk Cat Guild took down the first kill, Platinum Hand members did not give up on seizing the dungeon. It was too bad that they kept failing on the fourth stage of Shakra.
“As long as we get our hands on Little Drunk Cat Guild’s strategy. I believe we can make it in one go,” said Mad Dragon, one of Platinum Hand’s Unmatched Dual Tanks.
“We’re not as good as them. Also, our guild is short of supplies. We can’t recover after being killed so many times,” Platinum Hand’s other Unmatched Dual Tanks, Infinite Insanity sighed.
It was amusing that Platinum Hand was extremely curious about Li Yi and just could not wait to uncover all his secrets yet at the same time, Li Yi felt the same for this organization in unearthing their secrets.
...
It was night time when Li Yi logged out to hit the sack. His mobile phone beeped. Someone had sent him a text.
“It’s 3AM. Get your ass up to pee.”
No need to check the sender, Li Yi could tell who it was from the message.
“Harassment...” Li Yi replied the message.
“Go lick your father’s balls. Who told you to name that crap coward bear like that? You even post it everywhere on the website!”
“It’s mandatory for the plot, not that I wanted to.”
“Yeah right, change it immediately tomorrow when you’re online or else I will call your ass up to pee every night!” The person threatened.
“Alright, remember to come online tomorrow. I need to share a quest with you,” Li Yi was overcome with exhaustion that he fell asleep after replying this thread.
He really did not attempt anything other than renaming Violent Bear King.
Invincible Bear Bear...
