MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

“What? We lost more than 600 million?”

“Haha, you can’t really say we lost it. After all, we still have so much stock in hand. If we sell it all, we could probably earn a fair sum more. Haha…”

“When can we sell it all?”

“Haha, probably within two years.”

“What?!”

“Don’t look at me like that, we just… took in too many wares. We won’t be able to clear it all that soon… D-didn’t you say that I just had to take Bai Xiaoya down…?”

“I told you to take her down, yes, but I didn’t say you could make a loss! And you lost 600 million just like you, you…”

This time, the miracle of the trading world, Black Autumn set another record for bringing herself down with the enemy.

It was not her money, after all, so she spent it without a care. That was also how she managed to sink Bai Xiaoya so quickly and efficiently.

Bai Xiaoya was trading blows with according to logic, but Black Autumn had thrown logic out of the window. From the very beginning, she did not care if she made a loss, as long as she could drag Bai Xiaoya down with her. How could Bai Xiaoya have possibly beaten her?

Bai Xiaoya lost this trade war, but she could hold her head up high. After all, she did not lose a battle of wits, but a battle of wealth.

How could she win a battle of wealth against Brother Windcloud Nine?

“If we count carefully, maybe the losses aren’t that high. Let me check again.”

“Even after we check, though, there’s still a possibility that maybe probably we’ve lost about 300 million… I think, yeah, maybe…”

Autumn Love lowered her head, withering under Li Yi’s gaze.

“I’ll give you a month. Turn those losses into a profit.”

Li Yi left after a simple declaration.

He did not care how much Autumn Love would earn from this trade war. Right now, he just wanted to make sure that Brother Windcloud Nine did not suffer any losses.

He said it was a collaboration, so there was no way Li Yi could let his partner make a loss after that.

“Ding!”

Autumn Love sent him a message. “What if I can’t do it?”

“I’ll rape you then kill you!”

Now that Bai Xiaoya had relented, there was no need to hold down the market anymore. Now they just had to ease up, bit by bit, and try to break even. With Autumn Love’s wits, that was easy.

Li Yi did not make this mission impossible for her.

At noon, Li Yi went to Sky Island alone.

Thanks to the Little Drunk Cat Guild achieving the first kill of the Wings of the Sky Instance Dungeon, Li Yi did not have to go through the entire dungeon again. He just had to ask for a Winged Ones’ Curse and he could challenge the Winged Ruler Moonlight immediately.

With a Winged Ones’ Curse on him, he could drastically reduce the damage he suffered when fighting against the Winged Ruler, Moonlight. Without this thing, he did not have the right to fight Moonlight.

Sky Island was a chaotic battleground now, with players attacking relentlessly. The Winged Ones had long since lost their previous glory and were now on the hindfoot.

The Winged Ones’ strongest boss, Moonlight, kept killing the players, but it could not exterminate all the players on the island alone. As soon as it killed one group, another bunch would pounce on it. There was just no end to them.

Everyone was putting their all into killing Moonlight.

The appearance of the Winged Ones’ Curse gave all the players a ray of hope. The Winged Ruler Moonlight never stopped fighting, so it was not long before the players could see its HP. It only had 1 billion left, so they just had to keep attacking and it was a matter of time before Moonlight fell.

Who would not want a new first kill under their belt?

Besides, Moonlight was the strongest boss of the Wings of the Sky expansion pack. Getting its first kill was undoubtedly a great honor.

The millions of players surrounded Moonlight, but this was now a matter of luck, not skill!

Moonlight’s whole body had turned golden, and it scattered shots with its long bow. Although it did not know Shoot at Random, it could still kill at least more than a hundred players with it.

“Kill ’em…”

“The first kill is mine!”

“F*ckers, if you dare steal my kill, Imma lynch you!”

“Don’t f*cking fight me, f*ckers… F*ck this, I’m dead! Don’t f*cking steal my kill!”

The players on the island were in downright pandemonium.

Wherever Moonlight went, they would follow after it like a swarm of locusts. They were in the sky, on the ground, everywhere. There was no telling who was friend and who was foe anymore.

They did not care about the differences between their factions anymore. They all shared a common aim, and that was to kill Moonlight!

Of course, there were also many players with other motives mixed into the fray. One of them was Scumbag Wang, who was currently swinging his kitchen knife ruthlessly at players from Big Boy’s country.

“Kill ’em! The boss will drop a Divine Weapon!”

Scumbag Wang’s knife practically spiraled in the air, swearing and yelling. He seemed to have gained some levels lately, because a good dozen players had died by his hand.

“Ding!”

“Ding!”

Moonlight killed countless players, and its kill count increased by the second. All sorts of equipment was dropping everywhere, practically forming a carpet on the ground.

“Smack smack smack smack!”

Moonlight, its skin golden, remained calm in the face of this raid by an army of millions. It just kept shooting, and its DEF increased as its HP decreased. It also had a buff, Spiritual Protection, and this occasionally replenished its health and mana.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and more than 300,000 had died by Moonlight’s hand. By then, Moonlight still had 800 million HP left.

“F*cker, it automatically regains HP too! What the f*ck, comrades, hang in there…”

“Charge! Forget everything else, just charge charge charge and f*ck it up! The equipment it drops will go to the person who deals the last hit, so what are you cowards at the back waiting for? Just get in there and fight!”

There was no need for parties or a structure anymore. As Moonlight’s HP decreased, most of the players went mad with adrenaline.

This was currently the strongest boss in all of King of Pantheon. Killing it came with more than just bragging rights, there had to be a considerable prize as well.

There would be Divine Weapons, money, rare materials, rare items, everything…

When Li Yi arrived on the scene, Moonlight had slightly over 700 million HP left. Its entire body was golden now, and its attacks had picked up the pace, becoming increasingly harder to defend against.

Li Yi just took a look and felt a headache coming on.

There were players up, down, everywhere. If he did not work his way in, he could not even see the boss.

“Swoosh!”

“Boom!”

More than ten players were using their class-specific ultimate skills, creating an explosion of flames that engulfed Moonlight as well as the players around it.

“Motherf*ckers, so we’re breaking the peace now, are we?”

As the boss’ HP decreased, the fragile peace mode they had maintained fell apart.

Players from different factions began to switch to Attack Mode, attacking fellow players along with the boss.

It was chaos, utter chaos. Li Yi hid behind a large tree, and even then, a stupid Thief tried to ambush him. Thankfully his equipment was strong enough, and he only lost a little over 3000HP despite taking a knife to the back.

“I stabbed the wrong guy, sorry. We’re on the same side!”

The Thief who ambushed Li Yi ran as soon as he got the stab in. Li Yi casually shot him with an arrow.

“Pfft!”

The Thief was taken down.

Li Yi said mildly, “Sorry, wrong guy!”

“F*ck!” The Thief lying on the ground swore angrily.
