MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

Chapter 99: Special Camp

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After he accepted the quest to uncover the Shattered Frost City brigands disguised as civilians, Li Yi needed only five minutes to seize 17 bandits.

This was a quest with a time limit. Once the quest was accepted, many brigands disguised as civilians would appear in Shattered Frost City. The time limit was ten minutes. The more bandits captured, the higher the rewards. Capturing one was enough to complete the quest.

If one was not familiar with the quest, a whole day could pass without them capturing even one, much less ten minutes. Only Li Yi who was a player who did not clear Instance Dungeons but rather, levels up on quests could see through bandit-capturing quest that clearly.

“Good job.

“These bunch of brigands dare to sneak into this city to commit crimes.

“You have done well.

“I now order you to escort them to Wind Capital and hand over to Constable Xing to handle.”

Soldier Captain praised him and gave Li Yi 3500 EXP and 170+17 points of Reputation Value. He then announced the following quest to escort the brigands to another major city of the Human race, Wind Capital.

Shattered Frost City and Wind Capital were not far apart. It was only an hour away on foot.

The follow-up quest after capturing the bandits was completely random. It did not happen all the time and the reward upon completion was generous with 5000 EXP, 500 points of Reputation Value and a Soldier’s Honorable Gift Pack.

Li Yi escorted these 30 brigands on their way.

While on the road, the brigands begged for mercy and wailed to Li Yi for their release.

“Sir, please forgive us.

“Constable Xing is most hateful of bandits.

“If we fall into his hands, we’d rather be dead than be alive...”

They were bound together by a rope. The vitality displayed above their heads displayed as 10/10 (Wounded status). One wrong move and they could perish so no one dared to escape.

Li Yi did not bring the brigands along the main roads. This was to avoid interfering players from disrupting. These brigands have red name statuses. If players were to hit them, they would not receive any punishment.

Li Yi loosened the rope.

“Alright, you can leave now,” Li Yi clapped his hands.

The band of brigands glanced at one another. No one dared to move. In the end, a bandit called Second Brother Zhang plucked up the courage to ask, “S-Sir... Are you re-really letting us go?”

“Yes.”

The rope was completely loosened and the HP on top of the brigands’ heads began to recover.

“Thank you, Sir...”

The bandits dispersed in a hubbub and ran out of sight.

System Notification: [You have obtained the gratitude of Pinewood Brigands. Relationship turned from Aggro to Indifferent.]

He finally completed the first step.

Li Yi rode on Crimson Tiger King and returned to Shattered Frost City.

King of Pantheon was high in terms of freedom. One could choose to play any part among the forces. A soldier, a merchant, a bandit, a thug... As long as one could imagine, King of Pantheon could make it happen. This was also one of the attractions of King of Pantheon.

Pinewood Brigands belonged to Special Camp. They were not attached to any forces and only obeyed the orders of their brigand leader.

Any player could kill them. Without an in-depth knowledge of the game, one would not figure out that a relationship could be built with the Pinewood Brigands.

Releasing the brigands only cost a reward loss due to quest incompletion. It did not pose any effect apart from this. And to win the favor of Pinewood Brigands, this was currently the only way.

Capturing before releasing, releasing before capturing until the affection was raised to Friendly.

The brigands-uncovering quest could only be done once a day and the chance to receive the follow-up escort quest was not high so there was a need to have patience in raising the affection of the Pinewood Brigands.

The change from Aggro to Indifferent meant that the brigands would not proactively attack Li Yi any longer.

Li Yi walked into the Castellan’s residence to accept a new quest.

To bring villains to justice!

A quest could only be completed in a day. Only by obtaining the major city’s Adoration and five Pantheon Hall of Fame that one was permitted to access the quest.

“Take down the Frost Labyrinth Lord, Ordas and bring me his crest!”

The quest was random with the difficulty varying in range. Li Yi had Lady Luck with him and received the easiest quest. He remembered that in his past life, he continuously received the same quest for half a year to kill the Black Dragon, Ferrian and retrieve its Dragon’s Heart. It really riled him up.

Of course, the more difficult the quest, the higher the rewards. However, as long as the quest was completed, a Soldier’s Honorable Gift Pack would be given (On the condition that the person has an official position. Those without one would receive a Major City’s Reputation Gift Pack.)

Li Yi was not lacking in Reputation, EXP or money. What he was lacking were Official Position Points. He made haste to Frost Labyrinth Instance Dungeon for the Soldier’s Honorable Gift Pack.

“Fatty, anyone here who needs carrying in Frost Labyrinth? Add them to my party, I will carry them at once.”

He still needed to clear the dungeon whether it was solo or with a party of five. He could use this opportunity to carry a few newbies.

Arriving at the entrance of Frost Labyrinth Instance Dungeon, the four newbies had waited for a long time. They were three males and one female. The three males were unfamiliar faces while the female Dwarf Wizard looked familiar to Li Yi.

[Please Call Me Uncle Tang has joined the party.]

[Cloud Latte has joined the party.]

[Fengruo Qianghua has joined the party.]

[Lin Yu’er has joined the party.]

Lin Yu’er!

Looking at the female Dwarf Wizard, Li Yi’s eyes widened.

In his past life, he kicked Lin Yu’er out in Frost Labyrinth Instance Dungeon. As a result, Lin Yu’er sought Delicate out. Delicate instigated Dark Empire to hunt him down...

But, the timeline was not right. Why did Lin Yu’er participate half a year ahead of schedule?

What was more, when did she join Little Drunk Cat Guild?

Li Yi pulled Chen Yang and Fire Ice to a private chat.

“Fatty, Ice, who took in the female Dwarf Wizard?”

“I took her, Brother Yi, yesterday. What’s wrong? You know her?”

“Nope, I’m just asking.”

Li Yi exited the private chat and waved his arm at the four newbies. “Let’s enter the dungeon.”

Who would have thought they would meet again? He recalled that how he hated her to point of raping her in his dreams. Cough cough, his thoughts started to go the wrong way due to his inability to defeat the Dark Empire gang during that time...

But the hatred Li Yi harbored for Lin Yu’er was long gone in his past life.

When Li Yi was thriving, this Lin Yu’er was also playing but she was often ambushed by Li Yi. Basically, each time Li Yi saw her, he must kill her at least once.

Lin Yu’er gradually stopped playing. Her equipment was not that great, she was not a team player, she was killed throughout the entire day. She had a bad temper and refused to comply with anyone. She could not survive in the game.

Li Yi found out in later days that the day Lin Yu’er cleared the Instance Dungeon with him, she intentionally picked fights and was looking for a punching bag. The reason was that her boyfriend broke up with her in real life.

She was dumped. It was no wonder.

Ever since he found out about this, Li Yi harbored no ill feelings towards her.

Lin Yu’er had an ordinary appearance. Her beauty was far from Delicate, not to mention, Jiaojiao. The difference was like night and day.

Li Yi steamrolled the way, without needing any help from the four newbies. He used a few minutes to attack Frost Giants so that they obtained more EXP. He specially reeled Frost Giants near Ordas to exterminate them altogether, playing at a higher difficulty mode.

“You lot just roll on the equipment and distribute. I’ll leave first to attend to some matters.”

Li Yi looted the crest from Ordas’ corpse before rubbing a Return City Stone. His avatar disappeared.

A few newbies were long awe-stricken.

“He carries faster than Guild Master Tall...”

“Yeah... How freaking awesome.”

“My idol has revealed himself!”

Lin Yu’er frowned but did not make any comment.

Li Yi returned to the Castellan’s residence to finish the completed quest. He received 3000 EXP, 100+10 points of Reputation Value for major cities and a Soldier’s Honorable Gift Pack.

But this time, luck was not on his side as he only managed to roll five Official Position Points.

“Beep!”

It was during then when the sound effect from a PM sent by friends was heard. Li Yi checked on it. It was from Snickersnee.

“I was fishing outside the city earlier when I heard two people talking about killing you.”

“Killing me?”

Li Yi was stunned.

“These two, one was named Single Handsome Man and the other, Perverted Brother were talking about some Hua something Hua person ordered them over.

“They were fishing at the other side of the bank so I didn’t manage to get a good earful of their conversation.”

“Got it, thanks.”

Although Li Yi was not bothered by it, he still thanked Snickersnee.

Li Yi was currently on the rise. Those who wanted to kill him were too many but up until now, no one has succeeded.

Leaving Castellan’s residence, Li Yi rode on Crimson Tiger King and intentionally made rounds in the city. It was not long when he sensed someone was following him.

He leisurely left Shattered Frost City where he then flashed his brightly-colored red name.

The two Thieves were watching Li Yi close by under Stealth mode. They were in heated discussion.

“Be careful, Sister Hua said his ATK is quite high. It would be hard to take him down if he detects us.”

“Once this mission is over, you take the front while I’ll take the back,” Perverted Brother licked his lips.

“You sick bastard.”

Single Handsome Man spat at Perverted Brother. He held his dual blades in a reverse grip and quietly crept over.

They both were Explosive Thieves, causing high damage in an instant and were most proficient in sneak attacks and assassinations.

“Titter—”

Single Handsome Man stepped on Freezing Trap and his Stealth mode was canceled. He immediately froze into an ice sculpture.

Li Yi looked as though he was walking at random but was actually meticulously selecting an arena. There was a narrow path ahead. The Freezing Trap he placed there could be concealed.

“Twang!”

“Twang!”

Chain Arrow Skill was shot. Single Handsome Man was killed in a second.

“Careful now, this fella is good...” Single Handsome Man warned Perverted Brother but once he released his soul, he realized that Perverted Brother’s soul quickly followed.

“How did you die this quick?”

Perverted Brother was baffled himself.

“You tell me. I just saw that you were frozen and then I blacked out and ended up here.”

An ambush in turn which had them killed instead. It was a mysterious death that held much resentment.

“Let’s go and resurrect together.

“We’ll go into Stealth.

“I don’t believe he could have killed us both at the same time!” Single Handsome Man’s eyes were glaring with an ominous glint.

Two minutes later, Single Handsome Man and Perverted Brother’s souls returned to the temple once again.

“F*ck, he could hit me even in Stealth.”

“Looks like I won’t be playing the back now,” Perverted Brother moaned.
