Chapter 675: While Supplies Last
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Brother Windcloud Nine let out a howl. He dashed toward Deathwing and set the edge of his sword against it.
Wham!
Unexpectedly, his Blazing Judgment plowed through the scales of Deathwing with ease. It felt as soft as wax, there were no interruptions. The sword went in, as did the owner.
“Waaagh!”
Deathwing’s constitution was already ravaged and debilitated. Its muscles had detached from its bones. It would have fallen apart but for the rugged Divine Metal strapping its skeleton to its body.
The dragon had a rather enormous physique. There was no way the metal could serve as blanket protection. As rare as Divine Metal was, it could only shield vital parts. Brother Windcloud Nine struck vulnerable areas by chance, hence the seemingly effortless perforation.
Within Deathwing’s body, there was fire and only fire. How could Brother Windcloud Nine still be in one piece? That turned out to be an instant kill. Li Yi later received news that his unit had entirely perished.
“F*ck!”
“This is insane.”
“Utterly insane. No way we can beat it.”
There was complete pandemonium. The mighty Deathwing left their mouths agape.
“Go back to your damned corpses,” Pretty Good Mood instructed.
The ghosts of approximately five thousand flew towards the Deathwing Dungeon.
The party took half an hour or more to assemble.
Li Yi looked at his party with disapproval and decided that it was best to disband.
“Why, Guild Master?”
“But we only tried once.”
“I know, right? I am just getting warmed up.”
“Hear me out, guys.”
Li Yi initiated Leader mode and allowed his voice to reach everyone within the party.
“I think we know by now that it is not our skills and methods that are wrong. It’s simply that our power and equipment are lacking. The outcome will be the same, doesn’t matter how many times we try. I do not intend to be responsible for your deaths!”
“But we are not afraid of death.”
“Touché.”
“It’s not a matter of life and death. It is simply not responsible for the Guild Master to proceed, knowing full well that the chances of winning are nil. I wish all of you can understand,” Pretty Good Mood hollered.
The party members fell silent.
The result of the prior attempt was still fresh in their minds. Willing or not, the facts were set in stone.
They were simply not up to scratch.
“Dismiss!”
Li Yi ordered once more.
The members sighed.
“Damn it! This rickety old thing we call dragon was put in place by the Pantheon Company I reckon. How do they expect others to win when it has so many overpowered one-hit moves?”
The party members rubbed their Return City Stone in unison. White flashes scintillated as the participants in the Dungeon decreased in number.
“Dark Wing, this is on me.”
Brother Windcloud Nine approached with a contrite countenance.
“Think nothing of it, I didn’t know that Deathwing can be so squishy in some parts. We can only blame our misfortune. Plus, we wouldn’t know if it will drop any Dragon Scales since you didn’t accept the quest.”
After he heard Li Yi’s message, Brother Windcloud Nine smiled and shook his head.
“Honey you were so brave, so gallant!”
“Shush! We are having locker room talk here,” Brother Windcloud Nine glared.
“Alright...”
“Let’s just go, we’ll come back another day.”
He saw that many stayed. He roared and rubbed his Return City Stone, leaving the Dungeon in so doing.
He knew if he did not take the initiative to leave, the rest would not do the same. He did not want to waste their time, and there was only one way out.
Li Yi learned his lesson from their first attempt, and he would not take a second go at this. Even with the fullest extent of his Territory Power Deathwing was undefeatable. There was nothing else he could do.
Nevertheless, it was his Territory Power that was not up to par. It required more training as soon as possible.
Li Yi strolled around the Celestial Capital, contemplating whether he should head to the Auction House. His phone rang, it was Gongsun Chuqian.
“Lil Yi’zi where you at?”
“Call me that again and I’ll squeeze the sh*t out of your boobs.”
“Jiaojiao asked me to, do her instead.”
Their relationship was moving fast ever since he smuggled Qian’er out of her humble abode. They were already exchanging off-color humor before they knew it.
“By the way, I have some good stuff. Take a look.”
“Your used undergarments? I have one already.”
“Hold it right there you... you perv!”
“Not talking to you anymore!” Gongsun Chuqian flipped her lid and ended the phone call.
“No, wait! You had something to show me?”
“I said, I’m not interested in talking to you anymore!”
Big-tits Qian did not back down, no matter how Li Yi tried to console her.
Li Yi did not take it to heart. He rode his tortoise down the streets of the Celestial Capital. He arrived at the Auction House in a short while.
The potions sold by the mermaid sellers were changed from unlimited to limited. His get-rich-quick scheme was hence interrupted. Without further supplies of the Sacred Series Potions, the price for each potion was tagged at a preposterous rate of 35 Gold Coins.
It was no small wonder. The Sacred Series Potions were topnotch consumables. They were designed for players that wore Holy Equipment. It was Li Yi’s intervention that caused its premature release on the market.
Eyeing the expensive potions, Li Yi regretted selling them for only 10 Gold Coins. His stocks were running low.
If he knew first-hand that the potions were becoming limited, he would be as duplicitous as possible.
Li Yi merely took a glance at the price tag of a Sacred Series Potion once and went away looking for other merchandise. After refreshing the page, three items caught his eye. He was lucky.
Wind Soul Beads! Water Soul Beads! Earth Soul Beads!
A hundred of each. Three types in exactly three combinations.
He purchased them all in quick succession.
Albeit he had not obtained the needed Dragon Scales from Deathwing, Li Yi’s experience told him that he would have to use a variety of Soul Beads, each in large quantities, to upgrade the Evil God Summoning Scroll. He thought it would be better to collect them now than scrambling to do so in the near future. He was wealthy enough to not be afraid of investing in Soul Beads that might turn out to be useless later.
Li Yi refreshed the list of auctioned items again. He was again surprised to see that there were three snow-white Mysterious Eggs. They were offered at a price of ten thousand, thirty thousand, and fifty thousand, respectively.
Shut up and take my money!
Li Yi hurriedly selected all three of them for purchase.
A couple of sharp ringing sounds were heard. Li Yi successfully bought two of them. He lost the last one to another shopper.
“Sh*t!”
Li Yi cursed with indignation.
There were a huge number of professional campers in the Auction House. There were several million players who were refreshing the list of auctioned items at the same time. He was blessed to get his hands on two Mysterious Eggs in one fell swoop.
Li Yi did not stop refreshing the list. Something caught his eye again.
The Fifth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment, starting at 10 Gold Coins.
“Holy moly...”
His heart raced as he clicked on the purchase button. Who would make such poor financial decision to exchange a million for 10 Gold Coins?
Ding!
[Congratulations, you have successfully bought the ‘Fifth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment’.]
The notification ringtone soothed him.
“Which motherf*cker did that?”
“I thought I saw a Sacramental Stone Fragment earlier!”
“Me too! Only for 10 Gold Coins man, who took it?”
The Auction House was raining with fury and vitriol by the campers. They were vexed.
Li Yi smirked with relief.
He never thought that someone would sell the Fifth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment at so cheap a price.
One, two, three, four... He now had six Sacramental Stone Fragments.
“That thing just now... did I... did I sell it lower than the market price?”
A timid voice was heard behind Li Yi. He turned to see Lil Stream, a casualty of Fengxi in earlier days.
Fengxi’s Fifth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment was taken by Lil Stream. It was unexpected that she settled it for 10 Gold Coins.
“Not just low, but catastrophically low. It is worth millions, millions! Dude...”
“I can feel myself spitting blood. Are you new to Pantheon?”
“By Jove! I would’ve paid one million if you asked.”
“I’d offer two million.”
The campers surrounded her, expressing their condolences.
Li Yi shook his hand and carried on refreshing the list.
Such accidents were common occurrences. She had only herself to blame for being ill-informed.
It was manna from heaven. To him, buying the Fragment was completely justified since others would have doubtlessly done the same.
Li Yi continued to refresh the list, in hopes that he would hit another jackpot.
His efforts proved futile in the course of half an hour.
He took a good look at the campers around him. Their gloomy faces exposed their equally fruitless exercises.
Li Yi left the Auction House lugging his booty. He teleported to the Shattered Frost City and returned to his home.
He was not in a rush to open the Mysterious Eggs at any time soon. He stored them to free up his Backpack.
A dozen rainbow-colored messages popped up in the World Channel which left him dazed.
[Snickersnee has successfully crafted the ‘Unnamed Divine Weapon’ and risen to Legendary Ironsmith Master! Congratulations!]
[Snickersnee has successfully crafted the ‘Unnamed Divine Weapon’ and risen to Legendary Ironsmith Master! Congratulations!]
The incessant and never-ending rainbow-colored messages shook the world.
