Chapter 105: Frenzied Scroll

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiaojiao was rooted to the spot. Her lips trembled and she teared up.

‘Uh-oh, did I carry the joke too far?’

“I finally found the chance to come online, but you, you..!”

Jiaojiao took off the Devil Equipment Set, threw it onto the ground, stomped on it a few times, and went offline.

Li Yi quickly went offline and called her, but all he got was the notice saying that the user had shut off her phone…

‘Jiaojiao actually cries? In the past life, even when I stripped off all her equipment, she had never cried before.’

When Li Yi logged into the game again, Jiaojiao was online as well.

Jiaojiao glared with eyes about to spurt fire and asked fiercely, “Did you take any photos?!”

“I swear to heaven, I really didn’t.”

“Really?”

“I’m not such a person…”

Jiaojiao looked up and down at Li Yi, sizing him up for a long moment before snorting. “If I find out that you’ve taken photos of me, I’ll be sure to… to cause your *ss to be filled with wounds! ¹ “.

Jiaojiao’s complexion improved a little.

“You took advantage of me. Say, how will you compensate me for that?”

“Shall I give my body to you?”

“Piss off!”

…

In Eastcloud Valley’s secret spot, Li Yi and Jiaojiao stood side by side. Their goal was a little white wolf that was not far ahead.

Jiaojiao slowly lifted her hands over the top of the head and fired a red light, trapping the little white wolf in it.

“Boom!”

The little white wolf broke away from the red light and rushed at them, howling. The Taming had failed.

Mutated Small Wild Boar dashed forward immediately, but it did not attack. It only restrained the little white wolf so that Jiaojiao could continue to cast Tame.

Streams of red light continued to shine on the little white wolf, but unfortunately, Jiaojiao was having rotten luck. Each time the red channeling bar got close to 50%, the animal would break away.

“Cheer up! The success rate of taming a Level 1 pet is a bit low, but you just have to try a few more times, and you should be able to catch it.”

Li Yi stood by the side and cheered Jiaojiao on.

The pets tamed by Archers could not be traded. Otherwise, Li Yi would have caught it for her already. However as Li Yi was there, Jiaojiao was completely at ease. With Mutated Small Wild Boar’s restraining capabilities, there was no need for her to defend herself and Tame simultaneously.

“Damn, damn, damn dog! Why doesn’t the damn dog give in yet?!” Jiaojiao was becoming so furious that she was on the verge of rushing forward to hack the little white wolf to pieces.

“Don’t be anxious, take it easy…” Li Yi encouraged her from the side.

In order to compensate for the psychological damage she suffered, Jiaojiao had Li Yi accompany her to catch a pet. Both of them first went to Frost Labyrinth, but they did not encounter any mutated small wild boars, so they had no other option but to head to Eastcloud Valley to catch a rare monster, Little White Wolf.

Little White Wolf would only respawn once every 12 hours, hence it was naturally more powerful than the ordinary Black Wolf.

Two hours passed, and Little White Wolf was still persisting and unrelenting. Jiaojiao was very annoyed. With a shout, she darted forward and gave a flying kick, causing Little White Wolf to tumble over.

[−28]

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

There came two arrows. Little White Wolf let out a miserable cry and collapsed to the ground. Dead.

“It rather die than give in. I’ll make you yield!”

Li Yi was speechless and dared not intervene.

“Tell me, where else can I catch rare monsters?”

“Level 1 Pet Mastery only allows you to catch two rare elite monsters. One is Mutated Small Wild Boar, while another one is…” Li Yi looked at the Little White Wolf’s carcass and did not continue on further.

“I’m so angry.”

Just when Jiaojiao was about to explode, a gray cub ran to the remains of Little White Wolf and nudged it with its nose.

Jiaojiao raised her hands. A stream of red light trapped the gray cub, and a red channeling bar appeared; 1%… 5%… 68%… 100%!

“Ah woo…”

The gray young wolf howled at the sky, and its body disappeared. A wolf’s head appeared in Jiaojiao’s backpack.

‘Success. Instant catch…’

“Hahahahahaha.” Jiaojiao was so overjoyed that she spun around on the spot three times before immediately summoning the gray cub.

“I’m going to name you Little Gray Gray.”

The name above the gray cub’s head became Little Gray Gray.

Li Yi remarked, “This is a normal black wolf cub. It has no skills and only knows ordinary attack…”

“This gray wolf is very crappy?”

“Quite.”

Jiaojiao raised her foot and kicked Little Gray Gray, causing it to tumble over. Little Gray Gray yelped and fled to hide behind a tree with its tail between its legs.

“You son of a b*tch. I was thinking of having you replace Little White Wolf, who knew you’re a good-for-nothing? Besides pirating, what else do you know?”

“What do you mean by pirating?”

“Apart from its gray appearance, this crappy dog looks the same as Little White Wolf. If that isn’t pirating, what is?”

Jiaojiao chose to banish the pet, and went forward and kicked it violently. Li Yi also went over and gave three savage kicks at Little Gray Gray’s balls.

“I hate piracy too!”

After bashing Little Gray Gray to death, Jiaojiao looked at the time and was disappointed. “I have to go off again.”

Li Yi wiped off his sweat. “We’ll catch up another time, or how ’bout this? I’ll get a Mysterious Egg for you.”

Jiaojiao suddenly asked, “Tell me, do men turn bad after becoming rich and gaining power?”

“Not necessarily, like me… Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Go on.” Jiaojiao snorted and retracted her gaze.

“…I wouldn’t.”

“Cheh, forget it. You won’t understand even after I tell you. In short, I’ve been really unhappy recently, and I’m tormented to death by those two at home.

“So annoyed to death, and frustrated, I’m sick of it…”

Jiaojiao muttered a few more times, waved at Li Yi and went offline.

…

Li Yi went back to Shattered Frost City and immediately headed to the Auction House. He searched for a long time but could not find any Mysterious Egg.

The drop rate of that stuff was too low.

Anler’s Will Blessing Scroll; its bidding price was 50,000 Gold Coins!

Li Yi’s gaze fell onto the name of the item, and he was instantly awestruck.

Scrolls were special consumable items, and their types were very comprehensive; powerful spell scrolls, auxiliary scrolls that enhances STR and INT, recovery scrolls that could cancel abnormal states, and so on. Almost all kinds existed.

Players could not make any scrolls, and scrolls would only be dropped by certain monsters. Additionally, they could also be obtained through opening treasure chests and completing certain quests.

[Anler’s Will Blessing Scroll: Allows all party members to receive Anler the Great Priest’s will blessing. Increases mana regenerating speed by ten times. Increases Dark Magic Resistance by 10%. Lasts for 1 hour. Even when you die, the Blessed Mode will not disappear.]

‘Who’s so terrific to actually manage to obtain an Anler’s Will Scroll?’

Unfortunately, the seller had concealed their name, hence Li Yi could not find that out.

Anler’s Will Scroll price was not fixed, which meant that if you wanted to buy this scroll, the price will increase.

The starting price of the scroll was only 1 Gold Coin, but in a blink of an eye, the bid had climbed to 70,000 Gold Coins!

75,000!

80,000!

90,000!

100,000!

The page was constantly refreshing, and the price of Anler’s Scroll was soaring madly.

How could it not be amazing? What would increasing the entire party’s mana recovery rate by ten times mean? This meant that classes that used mana could go on non-stop, battling like a perpetual motion machine.

One would need not worry about the exhaustion of mana. With ten times the mana regenerating speed plus one’s own mana regeneration speed, unless you simply cast Instant Spells, it was impossible to deplete your mana.

Anler’s Will Blessing Scroll was extremely rare. Although Li Yi knew which monsters would drop it, at his current level, it was impossible for him to go solo because those monsters’ level was at least 80.

This was mind-blowing. At this level now, there was actually someone who could obtain Anler’s Will Scroll. How was it possible…

150,000!

160,000!

200,000!

Li Yi watched the bidding price climb and thought back to the source of the scroll.

Being able to acquire Anler’s Scroll at this point, could it be that someone had opened the treasure chest in the Temple of Light?

Apart from the treasure chest in the Temple of Light, Li Yi could not think of any other sources.

There was a treasure chest placed inside the Temple of the Light in the Level 70 farming zone, and only Thieves could open it. The treasure chest would respawn every 15 days, and it was a one in a thousandth chance to loot Anler’s Light Scroll.

One could loot some low-grade herbs and other items most of the time from the treasure chest. Li Yi had been secretly looting it for more than a year in his previous life, and not even once did he see Anler’s Scroll.

At this level, there was no other way to make it to the Temple of Light unless you died.. Apart from dying, one would also have to have some luck and skill in order to successfully make it to the treasure chest.

King of Pantheon had a rule whereby when the character had died on the spot for more than five times in a short period, the character would be automatically teleported to the nearby temple.

Forcing one’s way through the Temple of Light, that person really had courage…

In just a short while, the bid for Anler’s Scroll had risen to 300,000!

Every major guild was going frantic as their current progress was stuck in the Death of a King Dungeon. The biggest issue was that their endurance could not keep up. If they had the assistance of this scroll, they would not need to worry about the endurance problem and just had to go all-out in dealing damage.

Li Yi was dumbfounded by the frenzied rising of the bids.

When you invest in something, there would be a return for sure. It was a wonder how many times that person had died in the Temple of Light, but… it was worth it.

“There’s an Anler’s Will Blessing Scroll at the Auction House. Did you see it? I’m going to buy it for 1,000,000.” Confused Fox sent a message to Li Yi.

“Not worth it,” replied Li Yi.

“Why not? Ten times the mana regenerating speed, and it lasts for an hour.”

Li Yi sighed helplessly, walked a few steps forward, and dragged Confused Fox out of the crowd.

“Isn’t it better to speak face-to-face? What’s so special about messaging? Aren’t you tired, Guild Master Fox?”

Li Yi’s words made Confused Fox blush.

“From the effects point of view, Anler’s Scroll is indeed practical, but in reality, the effect could only last for an hour. If you’re buying it to kill the bosses in the wild, then go ahead. But if it’s for the 50-person Party-level Dungeon, I advise you not to buy it. Could a battle with the boss end without a seven or eight-hour fight? This thing could only be used to increase DPS output at the end.”

“But with this scroll, you can greatly shorten the duration of the boss battle.”

“Sky Vagabond has a buff. Wind Motion will increase the party’s mana regenerating speed by 10%, and you can learn it at Level 33. Guild Master Fox, don’t you surf the official page?

“Uh…”

Li Yi continued to explain, “These scroll-type items have a feature. They can’t overlap with any similar effects. For example, if your team has a Sky Vagabond who uses the Wind Motion buff, then the effect of Anler’s Scroll will be dispelled.”

During the conversation, the bid for Anler’s Will Scroll had risen to 410,000 before it stopped.

“Hearing what you’ve just said, I won’t bid then.” Alhough he said that, Confused Fox was still contemplating buying the scroll.

Li Yi could not help but laugh. “Guild Master Fox, you should go to the official page to check out the explanation about Anler’s Will Scroll first.”

There was no more bidding for five minutes, and the seller agreed to the price. Anler’s Will Scroll was successfully auctioned off at 410,000.

“410,000. Is it worth it? There’s so many rich people…”

Li Yi shook his head. By spending 200 Gold Coins, he bought several Small-sized Will Blessing Scrolls that could double the mana regeneration speed.

[Small-sized Will Blessing Scroll: Double the mana regeneration speed during battle. Lasts for 30 minutes.]

Just these would do.

The Intermediate-level Fury Potion was sold out again. Countless players were calling out for it in the world, frantically collecting this thing.

But so far, apart from Li Yi who knew how to refine it, it seemed that there was no one else who knew how.

Li Yi’s apothecary level had grown beyond the normal level.

In the later period of his previous life, as the players learned more and more auxiliary skills, the price of an Anler’s Will Scroll was only about 100 Gold Coins. In fact, this was because of the existence of solo players such as Li Yi, otherwise, it would not even be worth 100 Gold Coins.

The buyer who bought Anler’s Scroll was quickly identified, and it was the Guild Master of the Star Fire Guild, Fallen Star.

Chapter 106: Start Gaining Momentum

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wild Beast Plain.

“Howl– Howl–”

More than ten Snow Wolves charged forward and stepped on the Freezing Trap one after another before freezing into icicles.

Li Yi stopped and bent down before arranging the Spike Trap.

Archers do not have any AoE Skills during the initial stage. Both their Shooting and Pet Paths could only shoot singular projectiles while their Trap Path skills could barely be considered as AoE Skills.

The monsters that stepped on Spike Traps would Bleed continuously. This skill was considered as one that dealt fixed damage. It would produce 20 points of damage per second at Level 1. Moreover, the damage would double against monsters in the Wild Beast Path and could last for 20 seconds.

Li Yi put in extra effort and emphasized on the Shooting Path. Thus, he merely touched briefly on Level 1 of the Spike Trap. This small amount of damage was slightly lessened towards normal monsters with 3000+ HP. However, it was still better than nothing. He stalled the monster by leading it around the Spike Trap in circles a few times. The results were extremely good.

After releasing the Mutated Small Wild Boar, Li Yi drew his bow and suddenly released an arrow.

[-780]

[-789]

Li Yi’s equipment had produced terrifying damage abilities. Although he was lacking AoE Skills, his fighting speed could almost make up for it.

The Charge skill of the monsters on Wild Beast Plain was the thing that gave people the biggest headaches. However, by using the Freezing Trap to make them use up their Ice Charge, one could still solo as long as they did not run into a herd of monsters.

“Snort snort!”

The Mutated Small Wild Boar used Solid Ice and firmly pulled Aggro of the Snow Wolf pack.

After drinking a Fury Potion and activating Rapid Shooting, Li Yi eliminated half of this Snow Wolf pack within 12 seconds. When the Mutated Small Wild Boar collapsed, he retreated immediately and continued using the Freezing Trap and Spike Trap Battle Tactics.

Li Yi repeated the process for half a day before he walked a few steps towards the front and commanded the Mutated Small Wild Boar to advance as well.

There was an Armored Rhinoceros in front with HP that reached 5000+ but there were no other monsters nearby.

The Mutated Small Wild Boar went forward and used Tackle before biting the Armored Rhinoceros and tugging at it firmly while Li Yi shot at it from behind.

The Mutated Small Wild Boar could not fight two monsters but could resist one with great difficulty. When the monster’s HP had decreased by two-thirds, Li Yi took down the Armored Rhinoceros successfully and gained 5500 EXP.

‘Stay where you are and rest!’

Li Yi waited until the Mutated Small Wild Boar’s HP filled up again within a few short seconds. Meanwhile, the Armored Rhinoceros respawned again.

Li Yi continued shooting…

There was only a pack of Snow Wolves nearby that would wander here once every half an hour. Meanwhile, there was a hundred percent chance that the Armored Rhinoceroses would spawn again after they were killed in a span of at least 10 seconds but not more than 20 seconds. This also happened to be the reason why Li Yi chose to level up here.

He could get rid of a pack of Snow Wolves once every half an hour while continuously leveling up by farming Armored Rhinoceroses.

Li Yi did not know whether Wild Beast Plain had this type of treasure-filled land for leveling up. He only knew that he could easily level up to Level 36 or 37 here!

He was not worried at all that others would become aware of this because this farming method would only be discovered by Wizard Lonely Semi City a year later before he would spread it to the official page.

Of course, even if there were people who discovered this treasure-filled land for leveling up, it would be a whole different matter if they did not have the skills to get rid of the Snow Wolf pack.

‘I’ll ignore everything else and just focus on leveling up!’

That was the current goal that Li Yi had set for himself.

Since he had obtained a treasure like the EXP Pearl, it would truly be a waste if he did not use it to its full potential once.

The EXP of one Armored Rhinoceros was 5000 but when the EXP Pearl was placed in his Backpack, each creature killed would grant an additional 10% EXP.

More people had come to farm the Crimson Tiger King. This was also the main reason why Li Yi had felt a sense of crisis. As someone who was reborn, his current level was truly not worth mentioning. If he did not advance as soon as possible and instead waited until the moment when the levels of the majority of the population had caught up to him, he would not have any time left to advance even if he wanted to.

He definitely needed to scramble for it before they did and keep their levels lower than his. Otherwise, it would be too tragic if he still chose to vie with them for farming monsters throughout the entire map.

“Old pal Dark Wing, hahahaha, I really owe you many thanks, hahahaha…”

Li Yi was currently farming Armored Rhinoceroses when Confused Fox sent him a voice message.

“I examined the official page briefly before I finally discovered that individuals who wanted to use Anler’s Will Scroll needed to be Level 60 at least. Hahaha, what gives? Yang Xingchen is really too unfortunate this time.”

Li Yi smiled faintly because he had known this conclusion long ago. It was truly because of this reason that he was disdainful towards Anler’s Will Scroll.

Ultimately, the introduction on the official page was actually too misleading. The page did not clearly state the minimum level that was required to use Anler’s Will Scroll at all. On the contrary, it had merely mentioned in a roundabout manner that only individuals with great power could bring out the power of the scroll.

Li Yi could fully imagine the scene that would occur after Yang Xingchen realized that he could not use the scroll.

Confused Fox smiled and many other people would laugh while those in Star Fire Guild were the only ones that would cry.

Four hundred thousand may have been a small matter to Yang Xingchen but problems would arise when this matter flared up. When he had lost four hundred thousand only to discover that he could not use the item after obtaining it, would it be possible for him to not be angry?

On that night itself, news had spread throughout the forums that Yang Xingchen had torn the scroll into pieces and went offline in a fit of rage.

He would just ignore him and continue leveling up!

During a period of five whole days, Li Yi did not do anything and had even set his Official Position quests aside while he focused single mindedly on leveling up on Wild Beast Plain.

His level rose to Level 35 successfully. When he looked at the Level Rankings, he could not even see Old Li Flying Dagger’s name anymore. He had disappeared suddenly in the same manner as the previous world.

The player who was ranked first was a famous person in the previous world called Lonely Semi City who was given the honorary title of Legendary Wizard and was currently at Level 36 and a half.

This fellow was incredible because he occupied the Level Rankings all year round. During the latter part of the game when his Resistant Ring of Fire was used, even powerful bosses with levels over 100 would be sent flying far away.

He was very powerful, extremely violent and the first Fire Emperor who was acknowledged by King of Pantheon, Lonely Semi City!

The levels of the other top ten players were around 33 or 34. Thus, if Li Yi entered the Level Rankings, he would rank at the second place.

That was inadequate. He still needed to increase the distance between them!

Li Yi became even more enthusiastic.

His personality was such that even ten cows could not drag him away once he became keen about something. It was impossible for him not to do it.

However, if he continued farming Armored Rhinoceroses after his level had increased, the EXP he obtained would decrease instead. He could only level up by 1 or 2 levels before he needed to change locations.

Another three days passed before Li Yi advanced to Level 36 and a half while Lonely Semi City had achieved Level 37!

Little Drunk Cat Guild had currently initiated their first challenge towards Death of a King Dungeon already. Their commander was Pretty Good Mood.

Li Yi neither joined them nor did he even ask about it. Nonetheless, he was briefly shocked when he discovered after his affairs were done that the guild managed to beat three bosses in one go.

There were five bosses in total inside Death of a King. If you were to focus on their fighting style, the one with the hardest difficulty was Dwarf King Vladimir.

“You’ve done a pretty good job, keep it up. Besides that, open the guild inventory for all of the guild members who participated in Death of a King Dungeon. Those with great contributions can take more items while those who contributed little should take little as well.”

“Don’t worry and just leave this matter to me, Brother Yi.” Nowadays, Chen Yang was also speaking haughtily. Things had changed. As the vice guild leader of a guild with over ten thousand members, it was really not surprising that Fatty had become slightly more arrogant.

In a short while, Chen Yang sent another message that said, “Brother Yi, Pretty Good Mood is stubbornly preventing everyone from taking any equipment, including me…”

“Why?”

“He said that our current equipment is sufficient to overthrow the four kings in front. He also said that our cooperation is merely lacking if we’re unable to overcome them. Thus, no one has the right to take the equipment. Moreover, he even cursed the others a few times and said that they were shitty idiots and whatnot. He had nearly even scolded me as well.”

Li Yi was quiet.

His temper had not really changed from his previous life.

“Just listen to him then. Since he’s the commander, just follow his orders.”

“Sigh, that’s the only thing we can do. This little brat is commanding even more precisely than me now so I don’t have any other choice than to obey him.”

There were only a few people who could convince Chen Yang. Li Yi was considered as one of them while Pretty Good Mood was halfway there as of now…

After briefly checking the time and realizing that the Crimson Tiger King was about to respaw, Li Yi stopped farming monsters and automatically ran towards the Crimson Tiger King’s respawning point.

[-960]

[-1120!]

Li Yi ran in circles and forced the Crimson Tiger King to pursue him from a faraway distance.

The Crimson Tiger King was a famous dummy boss. It could put up a good fight because of its slightly higher HP that would cause the players who fought it to become somewhat exhausted.

“Crackle–”

[-94]

A lightning bolt that was as thick as a finger struck the top of Li Yi’s head. The strike caused him to stare blankly all of a sudden.

“Crackle–”

[Miss!]

Another lightning bolt struck him but Li Yi finally saw where it was coming from now.

An Electric Wizard was sneakily hiding behind the Crimson Tiger King and ambushing it.

“F*ck, a kill steal!”

Li Yi was suddenly furious. He used Mislead on the Electric Wizard who had forgotten to use his eyes. He only shot two arrows before the Crimson Tiger King turned around and chased him instead.

The Crimson Tiger King swept its tail horizontally before the Electric Wizard screamed painfully and lay on the ground.

Li Yi continued shooting. When he wasted almost half a day’s worth of energy to damage the Crimson Tiger King until its HP was at about 500,000, another three players ran over from afar.

They were friends with the Electric Wizard and their intentions of coming here were very obvious. There were here to snatch the Crimson Tiger King!

Since his level had already increased, it was evident that he could not linger here for much longer.

Li Yi had no alternative but to step forward and resolve this.

It was definitely impossible for him to abandon the Crimson Tiger King and escape. With his anger, he would still need to make his opponent pay a minor price in exchange first even if it meant that he had to die.

When the Explosive Ape was released, the ape was very impressive and did not retaliate against Li Yi this time. It used Enhanced Tackle and collided precisely against the opposing healer’s body. Following that, it used the Violent Strike move that caused the opposing healer to collapse on the ground.

With the presence of the Mislead skill, the Crimson Tiger King’s Aggro had fully shifted towards them. During this level stage where the Wizard did not know how to use Dispel while the Vagabond could not use Purify, the Archer’s Mislead was a Super Ultimate Move.

Without him having to waste any effort or time, the four opponents were all lying on the ground now.

Li Yi fought the Crimson Tiger King while watching over their corpses. Archers had this advantage where they did not have to get close to attack. When he saw that one of them had stood up, he would shoot an arrow at them immediately. If they did not die, he would ensure that they did with a few more arrows after that.

The four people fell down right after they got up. After this had happened three to four times repeatedly, none of them dared to stand up anymore.

“This idiot is too violent,” said one of the opposing Sky Vagabonds.

“Let’s straighten up and try again.” The Electric Wizard who was the first to fall because of Li Yi was still somewhat unconvinced.

The four people stood up together before all of them collapsed on the ground ten seconds later.

“Roar– Roar–”

When the Crimson Tiger King’s HP had decreased to around 10,000, the four people dared not stand up again.

A significant amount of their EXP had been reduced. Thus, if they died again, they would not only be transferred to the nearby temple, but their level would decrease by one as well.

The four people lay on the ground and watched wide-eyed as the Crimson Tiger King collapsed on the ground. Next, they watched the despicable Archer step forward to loot it…

“A mount will definitely not appear,” spat the Electric Wizard.

“It certainly won’t appear,” huffed the Sky Vagabond.

“Like hell it’ll appear. By looking at his idiotic face, I’m guessing that he’ll loot a strand of the tiger’s hair at most, and it’ll even be a strand of its pubic hair.”

“Hahahaha…”

The four people lay on the ground and laughed among themselves happily.

Li Yi walked over and approached them. He shoved the tiger’s head that he held in his hand towards them and shook it.

“It’s the second one already. Sigh, I really didn’t want it…”

Li Yi summoned the Crimson Tiger King before leaving them in the dust…
