Chapter 318: A Sudden Thought
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
[Mermaid Princess Freya: Non-land mount. Underwater SPD 300%.]
[Advancing Speed (Mounting effect): Doubles SPD instantly underwater for one minute. Cool down period: Five minutes.]
[Non-mounting effect: Treasure Hunt. Place Mermaid Princess in a water territory and she will seek treasure for her master. Daily limit: Three times.]
[Passive skill: Increase master’s SPD by 15%.]
Li Yi was shocked after checking Mermaid Princess’ latest attributes.
He finally understood the difference between an Epic and Legendary quality mount.
The attributes of an Epic quality mount would never change, nor would there be any Affinity, just like Holy Light Warhorse. There would be no change to its combat effectiveness nor did it possess self-awareness. It only acted according to the master’s instruction.
A Legendary quality mount was nothing like that. All of them possessed self-awareness and could move on their own accord under circumstances where their masters were not issuing orders.
Of course, more importantly, a Legendary mount could grow and level up just like a player character!
Having soaked in the Spring of Life, Mermaid Princess’ abilities rose to great heights. Not only did her SPD improved, her own master’s SPD grew by 5%.
Li Yi experimented by running a couple of rounds in the Spring of Life, realizing the change in swiftness in his movements.
“Go!”
Mermaid Princess’ upgrade piqued Li Yi’s interest. He has a sudden thought to put Mermaid Princess’ Treasure Hunting skills to the test in the spring waters.
Li Yi had obtained Mermaid Princess for quite some time now and with the Affinity rising to Like, her special Treasure Hunting skills had yet to be put to good use. Since he has the time, he might as well give it a go.
Every player had only one chance to soak in the Spring of Life. This was somewhat similar to feasting on Dragon Meat Banquet where it was effective the first time but was of no use by the second feast.
“I see some strange glow...”
Mermaid Princess Freya dived into the Spring of Life. Her beautiful tail, swiping left and right before disappearing out of sight...
It was not long when Mermaid Princess swam back to Li Yi while chewing on something shiny.
Ding!
“You’ve obtained a Sacramental Stone Fragment...”
Li Yi held the glimmering Sacramental Stone Fragments with a dumbstruck look in his face. He embraced Mermaid Princess’s head, planting vicious kisses. He then ordered her to continue with her search.
“Go!”
He was bubbling over with excitement, unable to contain his laughter.
[First Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment: No EXP reduction on death. All EXP obtained will increase by 10%. Recovery of 50 mana per second. This fragment implies a powerful energy. No equipping required. It takes effect from being stored in a backpack.]
Sacramental Stone was the source of gods’ energy. This was the rarest item in the King of Pantheon. Legend has it that after the gods obtained their powers from the Sacramental Stones, they wanted to destroy these stones for fear that its powers may be used by mortals. However, they were unsuccessful. The Sacramental Stones were crushed, broken into fragments and fell into the continents.
When players stepped foot into the God Region in the later stage of King of Pantheon, they would hear a lot of information about the Sacramental Stone but there were only a handful players who were able to get their hands on them.
The total number of Sacramental Stone Fragments every player could obtain was ten pieces. Each piece has its own unique function. Once all ten Sacramental Stone Fragments were collected, it could be pieced together into a complete Sacramental Stone. That being said, in the eight years King of Pantheon had been in session, there has not been anyone who could collect all ten fragments. Hence, nobody knew what a fully collected Sacramental Stone looked like.
Li Yi was able to obtain in his past life, the Third Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment which was dropped by player with the title, No. 1 Unfortunate Fool in History. That fragment brought about the ability to refine Divine Stones.
Divine Stones could resurrect players on the spot with a full heath bar.
Li Yi had made many enemies in his past life but there were not many who could kill him. He managed to escape death from time to time again, all because of Divine Stones.
Li Yi’s decision to have Mermaid Princess roam around to Treasure Hunt was a good one...
Soon, Mermaid Princess swam back. This time, she did not manage to find another Sacramental Stone Fragment. Instead, she brought back a purple Epic-level skill tome.
Holy Light Illumination!
[Learning class: Light Priest. Learning condition: 45 skill points in Light path.]
[Skill description: Costs 30% mana to unleash a huge Holy Light Angel for constant HP recovery for the entire party. Basic recovery of 200 HP per second. The Holy Light Angel will last for five minutes. Cool down period: One hour.]
“Dear, go on!” Li Yi issued another order.
Although the second Treasure was not a Sacramental Stone, the Holy Light Illumination was still a feat. Any Light Priest who got their hands on this rare healing skill would turn into a super duper healbot, ultimately becoming the main force for any party.
“You don’t have equipment nor do you have the level. Do you know Holy Light Illumination?”
“Yeap.”
“Boss... Join me.”
Such a conversation was not odd in the past life. If the dream of the Archer class was to master Overlord Arrow, then a Light Priest’s dream was definitely to master Holy Light Illumination.
Spring of Life. What a place. It was a shame he could not come back a second time. With Jiaojiao as his good luck charm, please let little mermaid bring back an Overlord Arrow Rare Book...
Li Yi prayed solemnly in his heart.
It was not long before Mermaid Princess swam back. This time, she brought along a purple Epic-level weapon.
[Daybreak Piccolo]
[Equipment level: None. (WIL 1,200 to equip)]
[1,000 – 1,500 damage]
[INT +800]
[END +800]
[WIL +800]
[Casting SPD increased by 50%]
[Special effect: Effect of heals additionally increased by 30%.]
[Special effect: SPD increased by 30%.]
[Special effect: Unaffected by CC skills such as Stun, Disorient, Sheep Transformation Spell.]
[Note: This is Bard Emily’s favorite Piccolo.]
...
Oh!
Holy Light Illumination was good for Fire Ice while this Piccolo had Little Elf from the Magical Realm’s name all over it. When would he come across one treasure for himself?
There was nothing Li Yi could do about it but the three Treasure Hunt outcomes turned out surprisingly well. He should keep in mind to spend some time looking into this special skill.
With the time limit in the Spring of Life coming to an end, Li Yi was forcefully teleported out.
“Princess Sif, oh right, you should be queen now. Could you teleport me into the Spring of Life tomorrow?”
Sif’s face crinkled with annoyance. “The teleportation door to the Spring of Life is forever closed to you and there’s nothing I can do about it.”
A round at the hot spring grew his attributes to a whole new level. However, it was still a bit far away from instantly wiping out Carulla.
Li Yi rubbed on Return City Stone to return to Shattered Frost City.
He mailed the Holy Light Illumination Skill Tome to Fire Ice and Daybreak Piccolo to Little Elf from the Magical Realm before taking his Wish Stone collection back home and Teleporting to Kelly.
The orange bow’s END was dropping at a fast rate. If he did not break the second seal before the month was up, he would end up with that Life’s but a Walking Shadow title.
Wish Stones may be valuable but not as much as the orange bow. The use of equipment reinforcement was limited to monsters while the orange bow has no limitations, yielding 100% of its potential anywhere.
In order to break the second seal, Li Yi decided to attempt something stupid.
He was going to reinforce in full, an equipment that was not meant to be reinforced to heighten his ATK for the sole purpose of killing Carulla.
He knew better than anyone else that this was stupid because Wish Stones were money-couldn’t-buy items.
“Yo cutie, wanna give it a go?”
The flirtatiously dressed Equipment Reinforcement Master Kelly was there soliciting players. In front of the reinforcement furnace, were gathered tens of thousands of players reinforcing their equipment.
A lot of players did not reach the minimum requirement for equipment level since the opening of Light and Darkness Instances. What were they to do then with no one to carry them nor party with? They optimized their attributes through equipment reinforcement. Although... it did not end well nine out of ten times. However to them, it was still the fastest and most effective way to go about it.
“Sir Castellan, what brings you to my little shop?” Kelly was all smiles when she saw Li Yi, seductively winking at him.
“How’s business so far? Looks like it’s booming. Not bad.”
Li Yi chuckled as he walked up and pinched Kelly’s voluptuous bottom, earning him a coquettish glance and a soft squeal.
The other players busy with reinforcement were dumbstruck.
They hung around here daily and knew very well of Kelly’s temper. This b*tch was all about the talk but not so much for action. She may be flirtatious but if a player were to get handsy with her, they would be in for some trouble.
What was with the change in personality? She was not the least bit bothered from being molested in the butt. She even took it with a smile.
“Tsk, I’m gonna try it myself.”
A fellow Orc brother who had guts gulped before walking to Kelly with his groping hands.
Who could resist when King of Pantheon’s visual effects were so close to reality? There were unverified news about a powerful player being raped by a female NPC. When others asked how it felt, he answered, “Better than in real life.”
Of course, whether it was true or not was still a mystery...
Thump!
The gutsy Orc brother had not even laid his hands on Kelly before he was flattened to death.
“Are you an idiot? Don’t you know who just touched Kelly’s butt?”
“Who is he?”
“Shattered Frost City Castellan, Dark Wing!”
“F*ck me. It’s no wonder Kelly that sl*t took it sitting down. It’s her boss, huh.”
“Sigh, who do you think you are to touch her? If it were him, she’d gladly be touched.”
“What preferential treatment, sigh...”
Li Yi could feel the envious and jealous glances from the crowd of players. However, in the end, these glances turned to hatred...
He was not bothered by it though. He walked to the furnace and started to reinforce his equipment.
Same as before, the first ten times were done without Wish Stones and were only applied in the last six times. Any equipment on him that could increase ATK were all reinforced...
“Are you there, Brother Dark Wing?”
Just as Li Yi was reinforcing his equipment, Autumn Love, Ice Empress of the Western Continent sent him a mail.
“I’m here!” replied Li Yi.
“I found an equipment that could be exchanged with your staff.”
