MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

Panda Novel

“I want it…” Sister Windcloud Nine clenched her small fist.

“You really have no idea how business works at all. If I were you a moment ago, I wouldn’t have traded with him even if he did offer those two Traveller’s Short Swords.” Pink Girl felt extremely remorseful.

Pink Girl bit her fingers as if she was deciding on something with great difficulty. “We can’t just let him off the hook like that!”

Sister Windcloud Nine asked. “What should we do?”

“You… are you planning to…”

“You’re thinking too much.” Pink Girl bonked Sister Windcloud Nine’s head as she pulled out a shiny egg from her inventory.

It was the legendary item in King of Pantheon, the Mysterious Egg!

There was a chance where players would obtain a valuable item if they persisted in doing lifestyle class quests on a daily basis. As such, Pink Girl’s Advanced-level Fury Potion Formula and the Mysterious Eggs were rewards from the lifestyle class quests.

The probability of obtaining precious items was very low. Despite Sister Windcloud Nine and Pink Girl doing their lifestyle class quests daily, they had yet to obtain a single precious item.

Sister Windcloud Nine stared at the egg in Pink Girl’s hand in envy as she spoke. “I heard that this egg is worth 3,000,000 Gold Coins at the moment and there is no market for this. Many people want to buy it but no one is selling them.”

“Forget about it. Since we have no use for this, just watch how I scam his money out of him!”

Pink Girl whipped her hair in the sky as she revealed a cunning face towards Sister Windcloud Nine, she proceeded to strut ahead as though doing a catwalk.

“Pink… Pink…” Sister Windcloud Nine shouted softly.

“What’s wrong?”

“You’re heading towards the wrong direction.”

“Uh…”

…

Li Yi had received a bunch of signboard messages. However, none of them were able to meet his demand.

The Mirror Staff’s price had hiked to 20,000,000 Gold Coins but the Ice Heart Ring’s demand, on the other hand, was not that good as it had only gone up to 10,000,000 Gold Coins.

Li Yi did not lack in money at all as he had withdrawn at least 10,000,000 bucks since he started playing.

He did not lack in Gold Coins either. Despite him having around 20,000,000 Gold Coins, he could still make use of the Castellan’s Authority to give himself a salary even if he had one digit less.

What he did lack was the legendary Archer equipment. Naturally, temporary equipment would not satisfy him at all as what he wanted was legendary equipment that he could use until he reached max level.

“I want to trade your Traveller’s Short Sword with this Mysterious Egg, deal?”

Pink Girl walked towards Li Yi as she showcased the shining egg in her hand.

Li Yi was stunned as he immediately nodded. “Sure.”

Li Yi had never once thought of switching his class to a Traveller. Hence, the Traveller’s Short Sword was completely useless to him. He had created two of them because he had purchased too many ingredients…

Pink Girl laughed. “Traveller’s Short Sword isn’t valuable at all. The Mysterious Egg’s market price is 5,000,000 Gold Coins. I want an additional 2,500,000 Gold Coins to trade for that sword.”

“Sure.”

Li Yi sent out a trade invitation to Pink Girl without any hesitation and this threw Pink Girl off.

“Are you sure you’re willing to trade my egg with 2,500,000 Gold Coins and that sword of yours?” Pink Girl repeated.

Li Yi responded to Pink Girl by placing 2,500,000 Gold Coins and the Traveller’s Short Sword into the trading slots.

“Damn, I asked for too little…”

Pink Girl was feeling regretful as she had yet to place the Mysterious Egg in.

“What’s wrong? Have you changed your mind again?”

Pink Girl looked at him cutely with huge eyes as she smiled. “I’m just a girl and not a man of his words. It’s completely normal to feel regret. I want to increase my price!”

Li Yi was furious. “How much do you want to add on?”

“2,500,000 Gold Coins!”

Li Yi did not utter a word for a long time and this made Pink Girl worried as she feared that Li Yi would not take up the offer.

“Don’t say you don’t want it. How about 2,600,000 Gold Coins in total.” Pink Girl started to panic as she noticed Li Yi not speaking up.

Li Yi was still speechless.

“Fine fine fine. 2,500,000 Gold Coins it is. I’ve already taken so much loss today anyway.” Pink Girl immediately placed the Mysterious Egg in and urged Li Yi to agree with the trade.

“Come on. Click on it. I still have other stuff to do.” Pink Girl was in a hurry.

“I think…” After some time, Li Yi finally spoke up.

Pink Girl was impatient. “What are you thinking?”

“I think I’ve offered too much just now. I don’t want it anymore.” Li Yi canceled the trade.

“You…” Pink Girl was so angry that her face turned red. She sighed and finally spoke “How much are you willing to give?”

Li Yi indicated with two fingers.

“2,000,000 Gold Coins? Fine. Deal. Consider this as me drawing the shorter stick.” Pink Girl shook her head helplessly.

“What I’m willing to offer is two Gold Coins.”

Pink Girl’s expression turned cold as she turned around and left.

“This Traveller’s Short Sword comes with a special skill. It’s the best of its class and there’s only one in the entire game!”

Li Yi shouted behind her as she walked away. It was as if Pink Girl was struck by lightning when she had heard this as she immediately turned around and sent a trade invitation to Li Yi.

“Deal!”

“Ding!”

The trade was successful.

Pink Girl returned to Sister Windcloud Nine welcoming her. “How did it go Pink? Did you manage to scam him?”

“I scammed him.” Pink Girl put on a smile reluctantly.

“How much did you scam?”

Pink Girl indicated with ten fingers and said. “About 10,000,000 Gold Coins!”

“Woah that’s great!” Sister Windcloud Nine circled around in happiness.

“Minus 9,999,998 Gold Coins…” Pink Girl sighed as she whispered.

As Pink Girl explained what happened in detail, the two girls became silent.

“I wanted to scam him but I didn’t expect him to benefit from me instead.”

“Sigh… It’s alright. Let’s try again next time. We will have our revenge!” Sister Windcloud Nine patted Pink Girl’s shoulder.

As the two girls were grieving, Li Yi approached them and glanced at Sister Windcloud NIne. “You’re Sister Windcloud Nine, right?”

“N-No…” Sister Windcloud Nine was flustered as she denied it.

“You didn’t hide the name above your head. I’ll give you this ring as compensation.” Li Yi took out a ring, placed it on her hand and left.

It was the Magmadar’s Rose Diamond Ring. It was most suitable for western continent players to turn in their quest with. A reward of 300,000 EXP would be given and this would allow a level 10 smurf to level up by more than 10 levels.

If Li Yi were to sell this Rose Diamond Ring for money, it would have been worth at least 500,000 Gold Coins. Naturally, this price would increase further if he encountered a rich player.

“Why did he… I… He…” Sister Windcloud Nine was at a loss.

“If we were to hand over Magmadar’s Rose Diamond Ring to the gifted Chilano, we would be rewarded with 300,000 EXP. This item is very valuable…” Pink Girl shouted.

“Nine Sister, perhaps he’s interested in you?”

“How is that possible…”

Sister Windcloud Nine was at a loss as she held the ring in her hand.

…

Li Yi truly had no other intention. He recognized the duo and merely wanted to compensate them.

After all, he truly intended to trade with Pink Girl for her initial request of 2,500,000 Gold Coins and Traveller’s Short Sword from the very beginning. However, he gave up on the idea the moment he caught on to Pink Girl’s intention.

It was common to kill the same level player from a different camp. However, it was an immoral act for him to kill them multiple times especially if their levels were very low. Li Yi felt bad for mistakenly killing Sister Windcloud Nine and Pink Girl more than once. Hence, he decided to use this opportunity to ease his mind by gifting them the Rose Diamond Ring.

Li Yi’s signboard was still at the original spot and it had attracted tens of thousands of people. The stats of the equipment was placed on the website a long time ago and it would soon create another uproar if everything went well.

Li Yi spent 3,000 Gold Coins to extend the signboard’s period to 30 days before leaving it. He then loitered around in the Sea Island’s Trading Center to search for items that interested him.

The Engineering’s Drawing, Arrow-crafting formula, apothecary formula, and some other ingredients were all items under Li Yi’s radar.

He loitered around the Sea Island’s Trading Center for another two hours. He had bought a bunch of ingredients but he could not find a single drawing or formula. There was nothing he could do now that his current level was so high that it was very well above average. Naturally, there were only a few things that could catch his interest.

Li Yi left the Sea Island’s Trading Center and made his way to Blade Peak.

Li Yi had not tried out the Arena since its release. He had already finished combining the Orange Treasure Map which would lead to an Epic-Level class quest and the digging site was located at Blade Peak.

As Li Yi reached Blade Peak Mountain, he switched his mount to the Ice Toad King’s Mount and started to look for the mark designated in the Orange Treasure Map.

Activating an Epic-Level class quest was naturally difficult undertaking. Li Yi rode the Ice Toad King’s Mount as he searched high and low and finally found mark shown on the Orange Treasure Map that he could dig inside a wild cave.

Li Yi used the Orange treasure Map and dug out a long, rectangular stone. As he extended his hand to touch it, his vision turned black and he was transported to a dark space which fluctuated for a few brief moments then materialized into a spacious field.

There were moving targets all over the place as Li Yi stood at the center. Then, he received a System Notification to use 100 arrows to hit at least 80 targets in 5 minutes.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Li Yi drew his bow and began shooting. The target’s speed was extremely slow and this stage was a breeze to Li Yi.

Li Yi had finished shooting out 100 arrows within 2 seconds. Without any exemption, all of these 100 arrows had landed the bullseye.

“Ding!”

[Congratulations in passing the first test. You have obtained a perfect score and the system has rewarded you with 1,000,000 EXP.]

Whoosh!

The moving targets floated into the sky and started to move randomly where it would speed up or slow down arbitrarily, which was extremely confusing to everyone.

“Ding!”

The Epic-Level class quest’s second stage was to use 100 arrows to hit down at least 50 targets within 5 minutes.

Li Yi started attacking and finished the stage within 2 minutes. However, he did not obtain a perfect score as 3 of his arrows had missed their targets and 17 arrows did not hit the bullseye.

[Congratulations in passing the second test. You’ve obtained 80,000 EXP.]

Whoosh!

The targets that filled the sky disappeared. The space dimmed and blinking stars started appearing. Li Yi then received another notification where he had to use 100 arrows to shoot down 60 blinking stars in the sky within 5 minutes.

This time, Li Yi observed for a full minute before attacking.

The stars blinked in an instant before vanishing out of existence and it did not last for even 1 second. In this space where it was pure darkness from top to bottom, it was incredibly hard to aim accurately in this situation and he could only rely on shooting the arrows blindly via instinct.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh~”

Li Yi shot arrows one after the other but it did not seem to have much of an impact as the stars were blinking too quickly. Initially, he was able to hit them without missing at all but then errors started surfacing when he had to hit the higher stars.

After Li Yi finished shooting 100 arrows, he had only shot down 32 stars successfully.

Beep!

[You’ve failed the final test and will be forced out of this mirror dimension in 10 seconds.]

Li Yi was teleported back to the cave after 10 seconds.

“Again!”

Li Yi touched the rectangular stone and was teleported into the dimension once more…
