MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

Panda Novel

Each person received a flying soul mount!

There were only 25 of these in the whole of Pantheon. Were it not for the fact that the mounts were untradeable, such a mount, practicality aside, could be sold for an exorbitant price due to its degree of ostentatiousness.

The flying soul mount had a rather peculiar shape. Inside a backpack, it was just a blob of transparent mist. The party members could not wait to try it out when they got their hands on them.

Ouyang Qian wanted to give it a go but was stopped by Li Yi.

“What?”

Li Yi did not reply but pointed at Shangguan Bailu who was the first to take to the sky.

The so-called flying soul mount was in fact, nothing — completely colorless and transparent. When players rode on it, the position they assumed was rather, peculiar.

It was not too bad for men but when women climbed onto it, everything from the waist down was on full display…

“This… This…” Ouyang Qian’s face went red.

Li Yi was amused, “Do you still want to give it a try?”

Ouyang Qian rolled her eyes at him, “Why not?”

“Okay then, go ahead.”

“I’ll do it later.”

Ouyang Qian was reluctant to admit that she did not have the guts to use it.

After the flying soul mount rewards were distributed, Plotline Death specialist, Moigne commended everyone’s meritorious deeds loudly, providing another round of rewards.

Two options were offered to the players.

[1. Raise the Church of Light’s Reputation Value directly to Worship.]

[2. Raise the Cursing Sect’s Reputation Value directly to Worship.]

Only one choice could be made between the two forces.

This reward left many members jumping for joy. Just as there were some people who were mount-crazy, there were others who were obsessed with Reputation Value. The Church of Light and Cursing Sect’s Reputation Value were amongst the hardest to raise, so how could they not celebrate this opportunity for a meteoric rise?

“I’m a Paladin, so I choose the Church of Light!”

“I’m a Curse Priest, so I choose the Cursing Sect!”

“Light for me!”

“Darkness for me!”

Who would say no to an additional reward?

Ouyang Qian had just gained Worship status with the Church of Light when she realized that out of the whole party, Li Yi was the only one who did not take the reward.

“Lil Yi’zi, why didn’t you take the Reputation Value? You’re following the Cursing Sect route, go claim your Worship status.”

“I’m already a Cursing Sect Pope, why would I need something so low level?”

“Bah, way to blow your own horn.”

“Whatever.”

…

“Heroes, your contributions to this battle’s victory have not gone unnoticed. Come and collect the reward you deserve.”

Moigne waved his hand towards the crowd, ordering his subordinates to bring a huge treasure chest over.

As the Soul King had vanished into thin air, there was no corpse to loot. This huge treasure chest replaced the corpse as the reward for clearing the dungeon.

The reward for clearing a dungeon in Hell Mode, which was also the server’s first kill, would definitely be significant.

“Who’s going to open it?” Her face flushed red, it was unknown whether Shangguan Bailu was boiling over with excitement or embarrassed and awkward from the earlier flying incident.

“Surely it has to be Guild Master. Without Guild Master, we wouldn’t have cleared the dungeon.”

“Guild Master, you go!”

“Err, our Guild Master’s famous for his Trash Hand.”

“Let’s switch. I’ve been clearing dungeons with Guild Master for over a year now and I’m well aware of his luck when it comes to this type of thing…”

The party members exchanged words. There were some who agreed that Li Yi should loot it while others disagreed. Both parties held their ground and began a heated debate.

“Quiet, people, quiet down!”

Li Yi raised his arm to have the overzealous crowd quiet down.

“We’ve taken the first kill, we have the mount, our Reputation Value’s at Worship but did anyone realize something’s missing?”

“Something’s missing? What’s missing?”

“Yeah, nothing’s missing. Apart from the treasure chest that’s not opened, what are we missing?”

The crowd looked at Li Yi confused, even Shangguan Bailu was dazed.

Li Yi asked her, “Commander Shangguan, do you remember the four rewards promised by Pantheon officials?”

Shangguan Bailu recited, “The first player who steps foot into the Soul Gate will receive 10 million Gold Coins, the first player who is embraced by the Soul King… embrace, darn! None of us was embraced by the Soul King!”

“Ah ah ah… That’s right, I remember now. 10 million! Just one hug from the Soul King and it’s money in the bank.”

“F*ck me, none of us was embraced?”

Li Yi’s words stirred a huge reaction. Although they took the first kill, the 10 million Gold Coins from a measly hug was missing…

The 10 million Gold Coins Jiaojiao had obtained was deposited into the Iron Alliance as the guild’s capital. This money was earned by Jiaojiao but without the entire Iron Alliance working as one, she would never receive it.

This money belonged to the guild and neither Jiaojiao nor Li Yi had any objections. The Iron Alliance already had plans for the reward from being hugged by the boss. It was to be placed into the Iron Alliance’s inventory as operational capital

It was a shame though, that from the start of the battle until the end, the Soul King was not seen embracing anyone. With the battle lasting so long, this was in the back of everyone’s mind.

Shangguan Bailu looked at the time, “There’s 12 more hours before the dungeon resets. Maybe the Fluttering Snow Alliance hasn’t…”

Ding!

[Player, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut has been embraced by the Soul King and obtained 10 million Gold Coins as a reward. Let us congratulate her.]

Before Shangguan Bailu could finish her words, the System announcement in red appeared…

Fluttering Snow Alliance’s leader, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut obtained 10 million Gold Coins.

“F*ck me, what a pity!”

“Sigh, grabbed by that b*tch instead. Wait, this Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s a b*tch, right?”

“Wasn’t there a Fluttering Rain Purple Water Chestnut running her mouth about our Guild Master in world a few days ago? With such a similar name, they must be sisters.”

“Fluttering Snow Alliance. We screwed up, why did we let them take it?”

The group was filled with remorse and only Li Yi looked unperturbed. The Fluttering Snow Alliance was not weak, especially with the Alliance Leader, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut personally making a move.

The name, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut represented the highest achievement in the gaming scene. Her name was worth more than Arthur because of its international influence. Compared to Arthur’s domestic reputation, it was quite obvious who ranked superior between the two.

“Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut…”

Li Yi gazed into the sky, mumbling this name.

…

“Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, this thirsty c*nt…”

Back on the border of the Western Continent, the Cat that Sings rode on a transparent mount and cursed at the sight of the announcement.

Apart from the inability to fly, the soul mount obtained by the Cat that Sings was exactly the same as the flying soul mount.

The Cat that Sing sent a private message, “Lil B, where the hell are you?”

“Lil B? Lil B? Lil B? Reply if you’re not dead!”

The Cat that Sings spammed the recipient until he had no choice but to reply, “Cat, can’t you just call me Fengxi?”
