Jiaojiao was rooted to the spot. Her lips trembled and she teared up.
‘Uh-oh, did I carry the joke too far?’
“I finally found the chance to come online, but you, you..!”
Jiaojiao took off the Devil Equipment Set, threw it onto the ground, stomped on it a few times, and went offline.
Li Yi quickly went offline and called her, but all he got was the notice saying that the user had shut off her phone...
‘Jiaojiao actually cries? In the past life, even when I stripped off all her equipment, she had never cried before.’
When Li Yi logged into the game again, Jiaojiao was online as well.
Jiaojiao glared with eyes about to spurt fire and asked fiercely, “Did you take any photos?!”
“I swear to heaven, I really didn’t.”
“Really?”
“I’m not such a person...”
Jiaojiao looked up and down at Li Yi, sizing him up for a long moment before snorting. “If I find out that you’ve taken photos of me, I’ll be sure to... to cause your *ss to be filled with wounds! 1 “.
Jiaojiao’s complexion improved a little.
“You took advantage of me. Say, how will you compensate me for that?”
“Shall I give my body to you?”
“Piss off!”
...
In Eastcloud Valley’s secret spot, Li Yi and Jiaojiao stood side by side. Their goal was a little white wolf that was not far ahead.
Jiaojiao slowly lifted her hands over the top of the head and fired a red light, trapping the little white wolf in it.
“Boom!”
The little white wolf broke away from the red light and rushed at them, howling. The Taming had failed.
Mutated Small Wild Boar dashed forward immediately, but it did not attack. It only restrained the little white wolf so that Jiaojiao could continue to cast Tame.
Streams of red light continued to shine on the little white wolf, but unfortunately, Jiaojiao was having rotten luck. Each time the red channeling bar got close to 50%, the animal would break away.
“Cheer up! The success rate of taming a Level 1 pet is a bit low, but you just have to try a few more times, and you should be able to catch it.”
Li Yi stood by the side and cheered Jiaojiao on.
The pets tamed by Archers could not be traded. Otherwise, Li Yi would have caught it for her already. However as Li Yi was there, Jiaojiao was completely at ease. With Mutated Small Wild Boar’s restraining capabilities, there was no need for her to defend herself and Tame simultaneously.
“Damn, damn, damn dog! Why doesn’t the damn dog give in yet?!” Jiaojiao was becoming so furious that she was on the verge of rushing forward to hack the little white wolf to pieces.
“Don’t be anxious, take it easy...” Li Yi encouraged her from the side.
In order to compensate for the psychological damage she suffered, Jiaojiao had Li Yi accompany her to catch a pet. Both of them first went to Frost Labyrinth, but they did not encounter any mutated small wild boars, so they had no other option but to head to Eastcloud Valley to catch a rare monster, Little White Wolf.
Little White Wolf would only respawn once every 12 hours, hence it was naturally more powerful than the ordinary Black Wolf.
Two hours passed, and Little White Wolf was still persisting and unrelenting. Jiaojiao was very annoyed. With a shout, she darted forward and gave a flying kick, causing Little White Wolf to tumble over.
[?28]
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
There came two arrows. Little White Wolf let out a miserable cry and collapsed to the ground. Dead.
“It rather die than give in. I’ll make you yield!”
Li Yi was speechless and dared not intervene.
“Tell me, where else can I catch rare monsters?”
“Level 1 Pet Mastery only allows you to catch two rare elite monsters. One is Mutated Small Wild Boar, while another one is...” Li Yi looked at the Little White Wolf’s carcass and did not continue on further.
“I’m so angry.”
Just when Jiaojiao was about to explode, a gray cub ran to the remains of Little White Wolf and nudged it with its nose.
Jiaojiao raised her hands. A stream of red light trapped the gray cub, and a red channeling bar appeared; 1%... 5%... 68%... 100%!
“Ah woo...”
The gray young wolf howled at the sky, and its body disappeared. A wolf’s head appeared in Jiaojiao’s backpack.
‘Success. Instant catch...’
“Hahahahahaha.” Jiaojiao was so overjoyed that she spun around on the spot three times before immediately summoning the gray cub.
“I’m going to name you Little Gray Gray.”
The name above the gray cub’s head became Little Gray Gray.
Li Yi remarked, “This is a normal black wolf cub. It has no skills and only knows ordinary attack...”
“This gray wolf is very crappy?”
“Quite.”
Jiaojiao raised her foot and kicked Little Gray Gray, causing it to tumble over. Little Gray Gray yelped and fled to hide behind a tree with its tail between its legs.
“You son of a b*tch. I was thinking of having you replace Little White Wolf, who knew you’re a good-for-nothing? Besides pirating, what else do you know?”
“What do you mean by pirating?”
“Apart from its gray appearance, this crappy dog looks the same as Little White Wolf. If that isn’t pirating, what is?”
Jiaojiao chose to banish the pet, and went forward and kicked it violently. Li Yi also went over and gave three savage kicks at Little Gray Gray’s balls.
“I hate piracy too!”
After bashing Little Gray Gray to death, Jiaojiao looked at the time and was disappointed. “I have to go off again.”
Li Yi wiped off his sweat. “We’ll catch up another time, or how ’bout this? I’ll get a Mysterious Egg for you.”
Jiaojiao suddenly asked, “Tell me, do men turn bad after becoming rich and gaining power?”
“Not necessarily, like me... Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Go on.” Jiaojiao snorted and retracted her gaze.
“...I wouldn’t.”
“Cheh, forget it. You won’t understand even after I tell you. In short, I’ve been really unhappy recently, and I’m tormented to death by those two at home.
“So annoyed to death, and frustrated, I’m sick of it...”
Jiaojiao muttered a few more times, waved at Li Yi and went offline.
...
Li Yi went back to Shattered Frost City and immediately headed to the Auction House. He searched for a long time but could not find any Mysterious Egg.
The drop rate of that stuff was too low.
Anler’s Will Blessing Scroll; its bidding price was 50,000 Gold Coins!
Li Yi’s gaze fell onto the name of the item, and he was instantly awestruck.
Scrolls were special consumable items, and their types were very comprehensive; powerful spell scrolls, auxiliary scrolls that enhances STR and INT, recovery scrolls that could cancel abnormal states, and so on. Almost all kinds existed.
Players could not make any scrolls, and scrolls would only be dropped by certain monsters. Additionally, they could also be obtained through opening treasure chests and completing certain quests.
[Anler’s Will Blessing Scroll: Allows all party members to receive Anler the Great Priest’s will blessing. Increases mana regenerating speed by ten times. Increases Dark Magic Resistance by 10%. Lasts for 1 hour. Even when you die, the Blessed Mode will not disappear.]
‘Who’s so terrific to actually manage to obtain an Anler’s Will Scroll?’
Unfortunately, the seller had concealed their name, hence Li Yi could not find that out.
Anler’s Will Scroll price was not fixed, which meant that if you wanted to buy this scroll, the price will increase.
The starting price of the scroll was only 1 Gold Coin, but in a blink of an eye, the bid had climbed to 70,000 Gold Coins!
75,000!
80,000!
90,000!
100,000!
The page was constantly refreshing, and the price of Anler’s Scroll was soaring madly.
How could it not be amazing? What would increasing the entire party’s mana recovery rate by ten times mean? This meant that classes that used mana could go on non-stop, battling like a perpetual motion machine.
One would need not worry about the exhaustion of mana. With ten times the mana regenerating speed plus one’s own mana regeneration speed, unless you simply cast Instant Spells, it was impossible to deplete your mana.
Anler’s Will Blessing Scroll was extremely rare. Although Li Yi knew which monsters would drop it, at his current level, it was impossible for him to go solo because those monsters’ level was at least 80.
This was mind-blowing. At this level now, there was actually someone who could obtain Anler’s Will Scroll. How was it possible...
150,000!
160,000!
200,000!
Li Yi watched the bidding price climb and thought back to the source of the scroll.
Being able to acquire Anler’s Scroll at this point, could it be that someone had opened the treasure chest in the Temple of Light?
Apart from the treasure chest in the Temple of Light, Li Yi could not think of any other sources.
There was a treasure chest placed inside the Temple of the Light in the Level 70 farming zone, and only Thieves could open it. The treasure chest would respawn every 15 days, and it was a one in a thousandth chance to loot Anler’s Light Scroll.
One could loot some low-grade herbs and other items most of the time from the treasure chest. Li Yi had been secretly looting it for more than a year in his previous life, and not even once did he see Anler’s Scroll.
At this level, there was no other way to make it to the Temple of Light unless you died.. Apart from dying, one would also have to have some luck and skill in order to successfully make it to the treasure chest.
King of Pantheon had a rule whereby when the character had died on the spot for more than five times in a short period, the character would be automatically teleported to the nearby temple.
Forcing one’s way through the Temple of Light, that person really had courage...
In just a short while, the bid for Anler’s Scroll had risen to 300,000!
Every major guild was going frantic as their current progress was stuck in the Death of a King Dungeon. The biggest issue was that their endurance could not keep up. If they had the assistance of this scroll, they would not need to worry about the endurance problem and just had to go all-out in dealing damage.
Li Yi was dumbfounded by the frenzied rising of the bids.
When you invest in something, there would be a return for sure. It was a wonder how many times that person had died in the Temple of Light, but... it was worth it.
“There’s an Anler’s Will Blessing Scroll at the Auction House. Did you see it? I’m going to buy it for 1,000,000.” Confused Fox sent a message to Li Yi.
“Not worth it,” replied Li Yi.
“Why not? Ten times the mana regenerating speed, and it lasts for an hour.”
Li Yi sighed helplessly, walked a few steps forward, and dragged Confused Fox out of the crowd.
“Isn’t it better to speak face-to-face? What’s so special about messaging? Aren’t you tired, Guild Master Fox?”
Li Yi’s words made Confused Fox blush.
“From the effects point of view, Anler’s Scroll is indeed practical, but in reality, the effect could only last for an hour. If you’re buying it to kill the bosses in the wild, then go ahead. But if it’s for the 50-person Party-level Dungeon, I advise you not to buy it. Could a battle with the boss end without a seven or eight-hour fight? This thing could only be used to increase DPS output at the end.”
“But with this scroll, you can greatly shorten the duration of the boss battle.”
“Sky Vagabond has a buff. Wind Motion will increase the party’s mana regenerating speed by 10%, and you can learn it at Level 33. Guild Master Fox, don’t you surf the official page?
“Uh...”
Li Yi continued to explain, “These scroll-type items have a feature. They can’t overlap with any similar effects. For example, if your team has a Sky Vagabond who uses the Wind Motion buff, then the effect of Anler’s Scroll will be dispelled.”
During the conversation, the bid for Anler’s Will Scroll had risen to 410,000 before it stopped.
“Hearing what you’ve just said, I won’t bid then.” Alhough he said that, Confused Fox was still contemplating buying the scroll.
Li Yi could not help but laugh. “Guild Master Fox, you should go to the official page to check out the explanation about Anler’s Will Scroll first.”
There was no more bidding for five minutes, and the seller agreed to the price. Anler’s Will Scroll was successfully auctioned off at 410,000.
“410,000. Is it worth it? There’s so many rich people...”
Li Yi shook his head. By spending 200 Gold Coins, he bought several Small-sized Will Blessing Scrolls that could double the mana regeneration speed.
[Small-sized Will Blessing Scroll: Double the mana regeneration speed during battle. Lasts for 30 minutes.]
Just these would do.
The Intermediate-level Fury Potion was sold out again. Countless players were calling out for it in the world, frantically collecting this thing.
But so far, apart from Li Yi who knew how to refine it, it seemed that there was no one else who knew how.
Li Yi’s apothecary level had grown beyond the normal level.
In the later period of his previous life, as the players learned more and more auxiliary skills, the price of an Anler’s Will Scroll was only about 100 Gold Coins. In fact, this was because of the existence of solo players such as Li Yi, otherwise, it would not even be worth 100 Gold Coins.
The buyer who bought Anler’s Scroll was quickly identified, and it was the Guild Master of the Star Fire Guild, Fallen Star.
