Chapter 308: One Turn Kill
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
More than 1,000 people took turns trying out. The number made Li Yi’s head spin.
There were talented people among the auditionees, but not one of them reached Li Yi’s standard of requirement.
If the worst came to the worst, he would just have to pick a few and train them. It should be okay with some time, right?
Li Yi thought that, and just as he was about to choose some candidates, he received a voicemail from Jiaojiao.
“I’m really good at Super Mario, so what are you planning this time?”
“You? You sure about this?”
“Are you underestimating me? I’ll be there right now!”
Jiaojiao had also seen the message Li Yi had sent out in his selection process. When she messaged Li Yi, she was riding her pony toward his direction.
“Alright, then I’ll wait for you.”
Li Yi did not take Jiaojiao’s claims seriously at all. He chose three people and divided his guild points equally among them so that each person had some benefits.
“Alright, everyone else may leave now.”
Everyone was utterly confused. Nobody knew what the Guild Master was doing, but it did not really matter because each person obtained 100 guild points. It was a much more effective way of earning points than running a dungeon, too.
Just then, Jiaojiao arrived. She was still one step short in her class change quest, so she still had the black smoke roiling all over her body, cutting a strange figure.
“This is trampolining, right? Pfft, I’ve been doing that since I was 5.”
Jiaojiao expressed her contempt, got off the horse, and immediately climbed onto the trampoline. There, she began to bounce.
At first, she needed to take some time and get used to it, but by the time she understood the secrets and skills behind it, she immediately began showing what she was made off. She could jump consecutively, jump to the left, jump to the right, or even turn and spin in midair.
“Impressive!” Li Yi gave her a sincere word of praise.
Jiaojiao stood steadily on the trampoline and said with her nose in the air, “So what do ya think? Am I good enough?”
“You’re a great tramp.” Li Yi gave her a big thumbs-up.
Jiaojiao spat at him. “Tsk, everything sounds dirty coming out of your mouth.”
Li Yi gave the three guild members he had chosen 200 guild points each and sent them on their way.
Now that he had Jiaojiao, he no longer needed them.
“Perverted Wing, why do you suddenly wanna go trampolining?”
“I have my reasons, of course.”
Li Yi sent Jiaojiao a party invitation and added her to the party. After he spoke to the chief of the dwarf town and paid the fee, they were sent into the dungeon.
“You go and give it a try.”
Jiaojiao looked around in surprise and then leaped onto a trampoline.
She was not kidding about her skills. Although she was an exceedingly average player when it came to her game control skills, the truth was that she was extremely talented at the trampoline. She learned it so quickly that Li Yi was left speechless.
She was overwhelmingly good at this. She could reach any point he wanted and could jump however she liked. Her movements were as natural as the floating colds, nowhere near as stilted and labored as Li Yi’s and Fire Ice’s had been.
“I just have to pick up the treasure chests and move forward? Piece of cake.”
Before Li Yi could explain, Jiaojiao took one look at the area and already knew what she had to do.
“Let’s make a deal in advance. I’ll beat the dungeon for you, and you kill people for me.”
“Kill people?”
“That’s right. I can’t bring myself to kill my friends. You’re the Guild Master, just ask more people to add me as their friend, and then ask them to let me kill them.”
“No problem!”
“Done deal!”
Jiaojiao immediately walked the talk. She took the treasure chests as she leaped forward, but Li Yi did not move.
Fire Ice was not there, and neither he nor Jiaojiao knew any invincibility skills like Hand of Salvation. Even if they defeated the boss, they would not be able to evade that final explosion. If the party was wiped out then, everything they did before that would be in vain.
“Why aren’t you moving?”
“You go ahead and train. We’ll start trying together once you’re more familiar with this.”
“Okay!”
Jiaojiao agreed and bounded away, picking up treasure chests as she went.
Li Yi had nothing better to do right now, so he went to the official forums again and saw that the furious Arthur was still waging a war against the hired keyboard warriors.
From the original Arthur to Arthur Number 250, Arthur had gone through 250 accounts, and each account was banned as soon as he made one post. It was probably because his emotions were now completely out of control because Arthur’s target range kept widening. At first, he was only blasting Li Yi and the Pantheon officials, but by the end he was basically firing off insults at everyone.
“You Dogsh*t-eating Pigs, I Look Down on You!” ID Arthur250 posted.
“Everyone who’s Talking Sh*t about Me, May Your Sons be Born Without *ssholes!” ID Arthur251 posted.
“God Will Be My Witness, You Stupid Pigs!” ID Arthur252 posted.
Li Yi was bent over with laughter. Arthur was by no means a stupid man. The only reason he would do something like this today was that his temper had blown all of his logical thought clean out of his head.
When had he ever suffered such a setback? Everywhere he went, others were flattering him and trying to please him. Now, after Li Yi played a little prank on him, he lost it completely.
“Arthur, It’s Just a Piece of Equipment. I’ll Give It to You If You Just Ask Me for It, So Why Are You Doing All This?”
Li Yi was a mean one as well. In the midst of all that chaos, he posted a little thread that blasted the whole forum into pieces.
He was one of the parties involved, so his word was absolutely credible. Besides, his post sounded so sincere. Firstly, he praised the other players on the forums, saying that this was a private matter between Arthur and himself, but thanking them for being fair and square. He also made it clear that if Arthur had just asked him in person for the equipment, he would have returned it without hesitation. However, Arthur’s little parlor tricks had truly hurt his feelings...
As soon as Li Yi’s thread was posted, Arthur responded immediately.
“**************” ID Arthur255 posted.
Every letter in the title of the post was censored, so no one could tell what Arthur255 had posted. The contents of this post remained a mystery until many years later when a famous researcher finally deciphered it.
That single pebble created countless ripples. Li Yi’s generous tone in his post and Arthur’s despicable behavior meant that the discussions drastically leaned toward Li Yi’s side. Even most of the Southern Continent players chose to remain silent just then, and only a small minority of players from the Arthur’s Dynasty Guild retorted angrily.
Li Yi had achieved a landslide victory In this forum war. Not only did he win some reputation, he also dealt Arthur a crippling blow, so it was definitely an overwhelming win.
Upon leaving the forum, Li Yi glanced around and saw that Jiaojiao had long since gone out of sight.
“Jiaojiao, how’s your training going?” Li Yi sent Jiaojiao a voicemail.
“Barroom! Barroom!”
As soon as he sent the voicemail, the dungeon began to shake violently. The walls and the floor trembled, and the rows of trampolines collapsed one after the other. The scene unfolding before his eyes was enough to render him utterly stunned.
‘No way. Did she activate all the mechanisms on her own and reach the final stage???’
Li Yi’s head was flooded with question marks.
“Jiaojiao, what happened?”
“Haha, that feels so good.”
“Good my *ss, tell me what happened!”
“Barroom! Barroom!”
There were two consecutive crashes, and the alarm rang abruptly.
“Warning, warning, intruder alert, intruder alert.”
“Well, f*ck me! That can’t be, did she really reach the end?” When he heard Black Steel’s electronic voice sounding the alarm, Li Yi was dumbfounded.
How could one person activate all the mechanisms? Was it a bug?
Just as Li Yi’s brain was running around in circles trying to make sense of it, a bright gold-colored achievement window appeared...
[Congratulations! You have completed the Super Trampoline 250 Instance Dungeon and obtained a Glory Achievement, One Turn Kill. Achievement reward: SP +10!]
‘We passed? What... what the f*ck?’
Li Yi was completely confounded.
