MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks
Chapter 139 - Gifted Intelligence Agent
Panda Novel
“I don’t care if you believe me but I’m very convinced.” Chen Yang was the first one to voice out.
“What are you convinced of?” Pretty Good Mood asked.
Chen Yang cleared his throat, “The Star Fire Guild did not release the recording of them killing the boss. Why? This means that there’s a secret that’s not meant to be seen by the public. Rumors are spreading right now that they managed to kill it because they exploited a bug in the game.”
Pretty Good Mood shook his head. “If it really is a bug, the system would have announced it by now.”
The masterminds of the Little Drunk Cat were discussing the issue regarding Star Fire Guild killing the fire demon in the virtual meeting room.
Li Yi spoke, “It’s definitely not a bug. In my opinion, luck and actual strength are involved here.”
The Fire Devil Dungeon was classically designed. In his past life, there was not a single bug reported for the eight years that the game had been in service. How would it be possible that the Star Fire Guild had exploited a bug to take the kill? It was understandable that the others did not know but how could Li Yi be in the dark regarding this?
Instead, what Li Yi was curious about was what happened to the Star Fire Guild as they had obtained the first kill half a month earlier than the Dream Guild.
“Let’s exclude that there’s a bug. Let’s not say that they’re exploiting the system when they’re leading and are instead leading purely due to skills. You have to realize that before the King of Pantheon was opened, the Star Fire Guild had already taken many first kills in countless games.”
Although Yang Xingchen does have some behavioral issue, his skills were very comprehensive and were definitely the real deal. He was even one of the top 10 main tanks in the game.
Chen Yang replied, “Oh right Brother Yi, There’s a Dark Elf Thief called Shen Lang who has been trying to enter our guild lately. He has been messaging me for the past few days and he did it again just now. I’ve already told him that the guild isn’t recruiting at the moment but he insisted that he’s extremely skilled in collecting intel and it would be a loss to us if we don’t recruit him. He’s so annoying. Tell me, do you want to recruit him? I’ll blacklist him immediately if you’re not interested.”
“Shen Lang?”
Li Yi was slightly surprised.
The infamous treasure hunter in the past life was named Shen Lang, was he not? Rumor had it that this man was the sworn enemy of Old Green and had spent a huge sum of money to assassinate Old Green. In retrospect, Old Green showed no mercy to him as well and would camp by his corpse for at least half a month if their paths were to cross.
No one knew when Shen Lang had made an enemy with the Star Fire Guild, which had caused the latter to hunt him endlessly. This was also how he had obtained his nickname as the treasure hunter. Since he was not able to deal with the Star Fire Guild, what else could he do other than going around everywhere hunting for treasure chests?
Naturally, this man did have some skill. Although he had been playing solo all these while, he had almost managed to bring down both the Star Fire Guild and the Savage Tribe single-handedly.
The notorious Hua Feihua incident, strawberry-flavored condom, the scandal inside room 107 was leaked by him. Apparently, he was a private investigator in real life, but no one really knew for sure since he had never told anyone if he was one.
“Sure, why not? Recruit him immediately.”
This man was a talent; it was just like he had stated. Although his operational skills were under average, no one could compete against him in terms of collecting intel.
After a while, Chen Yang spoke up, “Brother Yi, Shen Lang wishes to speak to you.”
“Let him add me.”
Shen Yang sent out a friend request and Li Yi accepted it.
“The Star Fire Guild has sent a killing order to me and my corpse has been guarded by Old Green for more than a month. I’m going crazy here. I’ll do anything for you with the best of my capabilities if you were to recruit me.” Shen Yang’s voice sounded helpless and tired.
With sweat dripping down his forehead, Li Yi asked, “Why is the Star Fire Guild killing you?”
Shen Lang kept quiet for some time before he responded, “I’m the one who sold the Anler’s Will Scroll on the auction house, and Fallen Star was the buyer.”
Li Yi finally saw the whole picture.
He had pondered for a long time as he wondered who had the capability to obtain the Temple of Light’s treasure chest. So it was him who found it.
“You’re in hot water. Based on Fallen Star’s personality, he definitely won’t retract his killing order until you return him his money.”
Shen Lang started to become emotional. “No way would I return him the money. F*ck his grandmother. I hate this type of *sshole who likes to bully the weak. One day, I’ll make him suffer for bullying me.”
He wanted to fight against a guild which had tens of thousands of people. The rest might think that he was just cracking a joke but Li Yi did not believe so as this man, Shen Lang, had managed to do it.
“Come into my guild. I’ll come over and save you now. Also, don’t worry about the Star Fire Guild anymore because I’ll settle it for you.”
Shen Lang was on cloud nine. “Great. I knew that only the Little Drunk Cat is able to oppose the Star Fire Guild. I’m finally saved. This idiot Old Green is f*cking disgusting.”
Would you think someone will look at you if you flatter them when they were doing well even though you rarely go out of your way to do something?
If you were to go out of your way often to assist the others, you would be rewarded with a sincere gratitude when the other party was in a crisis.
“Inform Mood to gather up a party. We will clear the Fire Demon Lina.”
Li Yi ordered as he left the virtual meeting room.
Old Green was a cunning man, and any typical person would not be able to deal with him. It would be worse if their corpses were being camped instead. Hence, Li Yi decided to deal with him on his own.
Just outside of the Wind Capital, near the temple, the Dark Elf Thief Shen Lang laid on the ground as he kept scolding the Dwarf Thief Old Green who was camping by his corpse nonchalantly. Old Green was fooling around with his dagger in his hand as if he did not hear anything.
“Are you even human? Just camping by me without eating or drinking? Won’t you log out for seven days when I’m not on? You’re already online when I’m online. F*ck me. How did I encounter such an idiot like you?” (Note: One day in reality is equivalent to three days in the game.)
“Insult all you want. I’ll camp by your corpse for an additional day for each insult you make,” Old Green sneered.
“Brother. Let me go for once. I won’t mess with you ever again…”
“It’s too late for that now.” Old Green was not moved at the very least.
Old Green was indeed a disgusting man. He would not care what you say, his personality is inhumane and he could fool around with you for a long time.
Shen Lang was really at his ends as he had been completely helpless against Old Green for the past one month.
“Whoosh!”
A black arrow whistled as it cut through the air, heading directly straight towards Old Green’s head. In the midst of the crisis, Old Green laid on the ground to evade the incoming black arrow.
Old Green then used sneak and his body disappeared.
Li Yi hid in the dark, shook his head as he changed his position quietly.
“Whoosh!”
He shot out another arrow from another angle, and it accurately hit Old Green who was still in the hidden status. A critical attack damage of -988 appeared. Old Green fell to the ground with only one hit from the arrow.
This man was no different from his past life. He would not give up camping by the corpse even if he were ambushed. Based on the thief’s guide, Li Yi was able to hit him accurately by shooting at Shen Lang corpse’s blindspot even though he could not see him.
“Hahahaha. I guess you have these kinds of days as well.” Shen Lang immediately stood up and crumbled the Return City Stone as his body disappeared.
He was truly fearful of Old Green…
Li Yi hid in the dark for a full half an hour, and Old Green did not resurrect himself at all.
Since when had this man become so clever?
Feeling helpless, Li Yi could only give up camping his corpse and return to where he came from.
…
“Thank you, guild master. If it wasn’t for you, I might not be able to escape at all.” Shen Lang looked at Li Yi with tears running down his face.
Li Yi laughed. “Don’t worry about it. You’re part of the family since you’ve entered the guild. It’s only natural to help each other out.”
As Shen Lang’s level was on the lower side and he was not good at PK, Li Yi decided to put him under Snickersnee and One Big Bun in the lifestyle class party.
Then, Li Yi immediately sent a message to Yang Xingchen the moment he had recruited Shen Lang. He explained very clearly that the Dark Elf Thief Shen Lang who had sold him the Anler’s Will Scroll was now under his care.
He did not need to instruct Yang Xingchen on what to do as they were all intelligent people. He would know what to do the moment he saw the message.
“Fine. I’ll respect your decision and won’t pursue this matter anymore,” Yang Xingchen responded quickly.
Li Yi laughed. The incident that had troubled Shen Lang for years was immediately taken care of with just one word from him.
Pretty Good Mood then started to gather members from the guild to fight the Fire Demon Lina the next day while Li Yi would go and inform Platinum Hand.
As Li Yi was about to message Ye Yingbing, the mysterious woman in black came online. It was still shown as *** in the friend list, preventing anyone from seeing her name.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t get online earlier as I had things to settle today.” The guild leader of Platinum Hand, the mysterious woman in black had sent him a message on her own accord.
Li Yi was rather surprised as he responded with a smile on his face. “Can you speak? I want to hear your voice.”
The mysterious woman pondered the question for a moment before typing again. “My throat is not feeling well today.”
“Alright,” Li Yi replied as he told her that he was about to challenge the Fire Devil tomorrow.
“We’re currently not prepared and the cooperation from our two parties are yet satisfactory. We might…”
“We have to go even if we’re wiped out. I plan to attack it three times. Blue Sky will lead the first attempt, Mood will lead the second attempt and I will personally lead the third attempt.”
“Alright. I’ll inform the rest.”
He did not mind if the Star Fire Guild had obtained the first kill of Fire Demon. He also did not take it to heart if the second boss was killed by them. What worried Li Yi was the first kill of Ivrit. This first kill was of utmost importance and it must not be taken away by anyone else.
They would be rewarded with 10,000,000 Gold Coins for obtaining the first kill. Furthermore, all party members would obtain an additional 10 skill points. Although these were very tempting, Li Yi did not set his eyes on that. Instead, he had set his eyes upon the Dwarf King Vladimir’s Epic-Level Quest.
Vladimir’s quest was very unique and only the party who had the first kill would obtain the highest reward. After that, the rewards for the remaining party could be negligible. In other words, Li Yi would never bother challenging the Fire Devil’s Instance Dungeon if Ivrit’s first kill was taken by the others.
Both the Little Drunk Cat and Platinum Hand had started to make preparations. Li Yi ran to the auction house to purchase all the necessary Potions. While he was doing so, Pretty Good Mood sent a message to him.
“Guild Master, I’ve confirmed the party members of the Star Fire Guild who had obtained the Fire Demon Lina’s first kill. The party-list consists of their usual members and there isn’t much of a change other than a newly recruited main tank.”
“Is that main tank Unending Unmatched?”
“… How do you know?”
Li Yi did not reply to Pretty Good Mood. He just shook his head as he muttered, “Who else could assist Star Fire Guild in obtaining the first kill other than him? However… The timing doesn’t click. Why did he join the Star Fire Guild two months earlier than the past life?”
Did something go wrong somewhere?
