MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

Chapter 660: Holy

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Brother Windcloud Nine had put off entering the Pantheon Ruins, not because he was worried he would waste the scroll, but because he was concerned about his own health. The doctor had issued a stern warning, telling him not to get too agitated while playing the game. That was why he had not even gone to a dungeon lately. All he did was wander around everywhere with Sister Nine, traveling even more than a Traveller.

Only Li Yi knew that Brother Windcloud Nine’s worries were completely unfounded. There were still three or four years until the God Wars, and he remembered that Brother Windcloud Nine had kept advancing the whole time. That was a lot more stress than he was feeling now, and nothing ever went wrong with his health.

Li Yi messaged Brother Windcloud Nine again. “Hold on a moment, I’m asking someone to go in with you.”

“Alright.”

Since Li Yi knew the truth, he could afford to pull Sister Windcloud Nine’s leg. For some reason, when he saw how gullible Sister Windcloud Nine could be, he had the overwhelming urge to tease her...

Of course, even though he teased her, Li Yi made sure not to cross some lines. For instance, he never once touched Sister Windcloud Nine, which was enough to show his stand. He always considered Sister Windcloud Nine a friend, and never anything more.

On the other hand, if Li Yi had half an ill intention right now, it would be... ridiculously easy to capture Sister Nine.

Li Yi handed the other tradable scroll to the Dream Guild’s Guild Master, Flower Underpants.

In the past life, Li Yi had stolen his Black Dragon Princess. Now, by paying him back with a scroll, Li Yi could finally call it quits.

He had considered both Little Elf from the Magical Realm and Qian’er too, but after giving it some thought, Li Yi decided to give up on giving them the scroll after all. His reasoning was simple: if he accidentally changed their fates, the losses would be too much to bear.

In the past life, both Missus Rong and Qian’er had extremely powerful Territory Skills. If they went in now, they might end up learning different Territory Skills. That was one result Li Yi did not want to see.

Li Yi had Flower Underpants team up with Brother Windcloud Nine, and they entered the Pantheon Ruins together.

“Remember, don’t make a hasty decision. Remember, you have to survive inside the Ruins no matter the cost!”

“Don’t worry!”

“Don’t worry!”

Flower Underpants and Brother Windcloud Nine nodded in unison and chanted the incantation at the same time. Their bodies turned into white light and vanished from the spot.

Li Yi headed to the Auction House and bought some materials he needed to make Antidotes before going home to start on the refinery.

In merely five minutes, he produced more than 2,000 Antidotes.

The Legendary Treasure Chest, the Random Teleportation Scroll to the Seven Secret Places, and the Ancient Scroll.

Li Yi took out his rewards from the Brawl Tournament, placing them on the table. He then fell into deep thought.

Aside from these items, he also had another chance to enter Heart of Earth Element, one of the Seven Secret Places. All he had to do was look for the Elf Princess Sif, and he could go in whenever he wanted to.

The Seven Secret Places were the King of Pantheon’s ultimate treasure dropping maps. As the players’ levels changed, the equipment they would receive inside changed as well. For instance, if Li Yi went in at Level 10, the equipment he received would not go higher than Level 50 at the most. In other words, no matter when one went in, the equipment level cap would never exceed 40 levels above one’s current level.

If he went in now, the best equipment he could receive would reach up to Level 150. Li Yi was confident that with enough potions, he would definitely obtain a decent haul if he stayed in there long enough.

At the very least, when the level cap was increased, he would be able to instantly increase the gap between him and other players, right?

Yes, but the Brawl Tournament had handed out a total of six Teleportation Scrolls to the Seven Secret Places, and three Legendary Treasure Chests. These things were enough to make a huge splash.

Li Yi took out the Legendary Treasure Chest and raised his hand, but he hesitated for a long time without tapping it.

If he just patted it lightly, the Legendary Treasure Chest would open, and the item he would receive had to be Legendary Level, at the very least. This was truly a treasure.

“Forget it...”

Li Yi shook his head and kept away the Legendary Treasure Chest. He kicked up the Seven Secret Places Random Teleportation Scroll next and held it in his hand for a long time, but he could not bring himself to use it either.

It was not that he was afraid he could not defeat the monsters inside. He was worried about another problem altogether. Be it the Legendary Treasure Chest or the Secret Place Teleportation Scroll, right now, both had a flaw.

That was the question of his equipment attributes!

Currently, the level cap was 100, so players were allowed to wear Level 100 equipment. However, in truth there were many monsters above Level 100 wandering all over the Northern Continent. Although the equipment they dropped could only be Gold Quality at best, every piece, without exception, was higher than Level 100.

The level cap meant that many players had begun heading to the Northern Continent in groups. They did not go to grind levels but to farm for drops. Level 120 Gold Quality equipment, Level 130 Gold Quality equipment, or even Level 150 Gold Quality equipment could already be readily bought at the Auction House.

Only Li Yi knew how the equipment they had now was different from those of his past life.

Be it the Level 100 equipment or Level 150 equipment, all the equipment lacked an important attribute—Holy!

The Holy attribute directly affected one’s Territory Power. The higher a player’s Holy attribute, the larger its effect on their Territory Power.

In the past life, Brother Windcloud Nine could force his way into the 100 God Wars players list without a Territory solely because of his set of uber legendary Holy equipment.

That was what Li Yi was currently hesitating over. He did not open the Legendary Treasure Chest because he was worried that the equipment he received would not come with the Holy attribute. The same went for not heading to the Secret Places.

It cost too much to forge a piece of equipment without the Holy attribute into one with Holy. Even Li Yi had to consider it carefully.

Right now, the level cap was still in place. If it was as he thought and the Holy system had yet to be launched, it would be nothing short of tragic to look for equipment now.

He just had to wait a few days, then.

Li Yi picked up the Ancient Scroll again and studied it categorically for a few hours before throwing it back into the Inventory.

The Ancient Scroll was his prize as champion of the Brawl Tournament. Logically speaking, this thing had to be even more precious than the Legendary Treasure Chest and the Secret Place Teleportation Scroll. The problem was... be it in the past life or the current one, Li Yi had no idea what this thing did.

It was not that he had not seen enough of the game, because he was not the only one. Of the several tens of millions of players in the Pantheon world, only a very few understood just what this thing did.

There was not a single word on it. The scroll was made of a special material that could not be damaged in any way. He had tried to burn it, soak it, tear it, yank at it...

However, nothing worked. He had tried everything, but the result was the same.

The Ancient Scroll was definitely not trash; every player knew that. However, if one did not know how to use it, even if it was a priceless divine treasure, what good would it be?

Li Yi summoned the Mermaid Princess and Onyxia at the same time, ordering them to look at the Ancient Scroll.

“Can any of you tell me what this scroll does?”

“I haven’t seen it before, Master,” answered the Mermaid Princess honestly.

“Hmph hmph, even if I do know it, I’d never tell you, foolish human!” Onyxia’s temper was as foul as ever.

“Little Mermaid, smack her a few times for me.”

“Yes, Master.”

The Mermaid Princess walked until she stood behind Onyxia. She then lifted Onyxia’s black robe and smacked her relentlessly.

“Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!”

The Mermaid Princess may look weak, but she had quite some strength in her hand. She was even harsher than Li Yi in doling out the punishment, such that Onyxia groaned again and again, her pretty face trembling.

“You gotta nip a problem in the bud and smack a dragon in the butt. Carry on!”

...

At 12pm, Li Yi logged off from the game. After washing up and putting on a new change of clothes, he left his house.

It had been over a month, but there was still no word about Qian’er. Li Yi could not wait any longer, so he decided that he would look for Qian’er today.

As soon as Li Yi stepped out of the door, a Lamborghini flew up to his face at breakneck speed. The car window wound down, revealing a pretty face behind large sunglasses.

“Li Yi! Where are you going?”

“Xu Man?”

Li Yi looked around him and made sure he was outside his apartment building, feeling rather stunned.

“I’m going to Xiangjiang.”

“Ohh, Xiangjiang? What a coincidence, I’m going to Xiangjiang too. It’s on the way, so c’mon, get in the car.”

“A coincidence?”

Li Yi looked at Xu Man, speechless.

“Uh-huh, uh-huh, we’re going to Xiangjiang too.” Another little head popped out from the back seat, smiling sweetly at Li Yi.

Xu Yue was here too...

What were these sisters playing at?

“Hurry up, hurry up, get in the car!”

The sisters hurried him, and when they saw that Li Yi was not moving, they simply got out of the car and yanked him, pushing and cajoling him, until they stuffed him into the car.

“Vroom—”

The Lamborghini went on its way.

Less than two minutes later, Li Yi looked around him and could not help but cough. “You’re going the wrong way.”

“Ohh, sorry!”

Xu Man spun the steering wheel hard, changing the car’s direction.

“Not the left, the right. Hey, are you really going to Xiangjiang?”

“Uh-huh, of course, for real. We... we have friends in Xiangjiang.”

“That’s weird, why’d you two suddenly show up at my doorstep? I don’t exactly live in the busiest part of town, do I?”

“We just happened to be passing by.”

“Exactly, exactly...”

The two sisters went back and forth, confusing Li Yi completely.

He could tell that something was wrong, but he could not figure out what the problem was.

Of course, Li Yi had no way of knowing that their grandfather had nearly driven the Xu sisters insane. In Xu Man’s words: My grandfather is seriously affecting my life now. He even ran to my company to get me to quit showbiz...

Xu Yue was feeling very helpless too. She had resigned from the squad, so she was even worse off than Xu Man. Xu Man had a job, but she did not, and she did not dare to return home either. As a result, she had been living in the car these past few days...

“Big Sis, I think I gotta find a man ASAP. It doesn’t matter who, as long as I go all the way with a man, Grandpa won’t be able to force me anymore.” Before Li Yi walked out, that was what Xu Yue said to Xu Man.

“Then who should we choose?”

“Just pick one out from the street.”

“Alright, hurry up and choose one...”

“You’re asking me to pick one, then what about you?”

“I didn’t say I was choosing one. I’m a celebrity, if I want a man? Hmph hmph, I don’t need to choose, I can have as many as I want.”

“Ptooey, you’re shameless. I bet you want me to pick one first, and then you’ll go for Li Yi. That way, no one will fight you for him anymore.”

“Lil Sis, I just realized that your way of thinking... is just like Grandpa’s.”

“How dare you say I’m like Grandpa! I’ll beat you up...”

Just as the sisters were play-fighting in the car, Li Yi came down the stairs.

“Big Sis, let’s go! We’ll take him down this time for sure!”
