Chapter 915: Fight For The Ranking
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Wooden Dummy Challenge could be attempted endlessly. However, only the top 300 would be shown in the world ranking.
There would be a total of 100 DPS ranking, 100 main tanks ranking and 100 healers ranking.
As Li Yi was trying to overtake Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s record, those familiar players that had appeared in the ranking in his past life started appearing in this current ranking.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was ranked first in the DPS class whereas Li Yi was ranked second. An anonymous Violent Warrior and Cyclone Thief were ranked third and fourth respectively and Brother Windcloud Nine was ranked fifth...
Other than the bankrupted Yang Xingchen who was not able to rank in the top ten in the main tank class, the players in the list were all familiar players. Amber Sword Heart, Unending Unmatched, Infinite Insanity, Mad Dragon, and so on. All of them were on the list.
The list that was closest to his past life was the healer class. Little Elf from the Magical Realm, Nirvana Inaction, I Love Beast Beast, Ah Ye, and an anonymous Orc Healer were all on the list. It was practically identical to the list in his past life.
The result from the Wooden Dummy Challenge was dependent on the player’s class. Some classes had advantages over others and some classes were obviously at a disadvantage.
In the DPS Wooden Dummy Challenge, the most disadvantageous class was no other than Summoners for one simple reason. Summoners themselves did not have high ATK, as they relied on their pets.
Although the Summoner’s pets had high ATK, it could not do any combos at all. The duration between attacks was too long and it was simply impossible to land a combo.
Take the top two in the God Wars, The Mountain as an example. He was not even in the top 100 for the DPS ranking board. This had nothing to do with his strength but the limitation of his class.
That Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was able to top the leaderboard was not really due to her strength. Half of the results came from her class.
Martial Artists were well known for their combo attacks. Excluding a powerful player such as Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, any average player could achieve a 20-hit combo and above easily.
The player’s class was the most important key.
An Archer was average in the Wooden Dummy Challenge. They were not strong nor weak. Although they had a slightly weaker ATK, they were able to use pets to compensate. Despite having pros and cons, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
Li Yi felt extremely motivated as Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut broke his record. After trying at least ten times, he had finally overtaken Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut as he dealt total damage of 5,012,545, leaving her in the dust.
Five million damage was very close to the record in his past life. One must realize that the record in the past life was created when King of Pantheon had operated for eight years. Now, the game had not even operated for more than six years before it appeared.
“Squeak squeak!”
Dolly landed on Li Yi’s shoulder excitedly as she laughed and clapped her little hands.
She had successfully contributed two Overkill Arrows into the combo. The new record he had achieved was definitely possible due to her contribution.
“Well done.”
Li Yi pinched Dolly’s little nose lightly as he encouraged her.
“Squeak~”
Dolly was so happy that she flew around in circles above Li Yi after receiving praise from him.
Li Yi was satisfied as he was able to deal over 5,000,000 damages.
He stopped trying and left the arena.
The Wooden Dummy Challenge was the only thing opened to the public on the very first day of the God Wars. Players could only wait until tomorrow in order to attempt the second challenge.
Rainbows of colors appeared in the World Chat every three to five minutes. The Pantheon’s official forum did not pull their punches when it came to advertising the God Wars. The huge sum of money reward had sent every player into a frenzy.
Other than the hefty reward, the cash reward for being the champion alone was 200,000,000!
In this life, Li Yi used his experience from his past life to earn more than 200,000,000. Hence, he had been quite numb to the 200,000,000 reward. However, the reward of such an amount would still cause the other players to go crazy about it.
On the very first day of the God Wars, many gambling dealers had opened up bets on the ranking boards. However, the gambling routine for this life was rather different from his past life. They did not have any bets on a single player. Instead they had three players, five players, and ten players.
The single player bet was to bet who would be leading the leaderboard. However, the dealers seemed to have given up on the single player bet due to Li Yi’s absurd performance. Hence, it had turned into three players, five players, and ten players.
The three players bet was to bet on the top three players in the leaderboard. The player would successfully win the bet if they guessed all three players correctly and the odds were 1 to 1.
In the five players bet, the players would have to guess the top five players in the God Wars. Similarly, the odds were 1 to 3 if they guessed the ranking correctly. Same could be said to the ten players bet as well. However, the odds were even better as it was 1 to 10.
As there were players who had chosen to hide their names, every player who was listed in the ranking would be given a unique numbered ID at the back of their name. This way, they could be differentiated easily.
Take Li Yi for example, his ID number is 107.
The numbers at the back were constantly changing in the DPS ranking board. Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was still challenging it but she herself had yet to break her own record.
Li Yi’s total output of 5,000,000 was not something that could be overtaken easily.
Li Yi rubbed the Tower of Remorse Teleportation Stone and went to meet the Death God in the Void Dimension.
He had been promoted to demigod for a long time but had yet to find a way to use Divine Power. He was extremely frustrated with this. Furthermore, the Evil God Summoning Scroll’s progress had been stagnant as well and he had no choice but to seek assistance from the Death God.
Li Yi was able to enter and exit the Void Dimension any time he wished as he had the Tower of Remorse Teleportation Stone.
“Didn’t I tell you before. There’s nothing else I can help you with. There’s no reason for you to visit me any longer...”
The Death God appeared out of thin air and its tone was incredibly indifferent.
“I’m not here to inquire about how to use Divine Power this time. It’s something to do with the Evil God Summoning Scroll.”
Li Yi took out the Evil God Summoning Scroll and showed it to the Death God.
The Evil God shown in the scroll was identical to the real one. However, the progression shown at the bottom had turned into a huge yellow question mark.
This was the result of Li Yi using the Egg of the Golden Winged Ones.
Li Yi could not see what the next required item would be, and he could not level it up any further. Hence, the progression of the scroll had hopelessly come to a halt.
“Hmm. That’s a good result. If you continue further, perhaps...”
The Death God fell silent after it was halfway through its words.
Li Yi questioned, “Do you have any way to find out what the next required item would be?”
The Death God remained silent and did not react at all.
Li Yi felt rather hopeless seeing how the Death God reacted. Perhaps he had come here for nothing.
Just as Li Yi was about to leave, the Death God responded, “The Evil God left his final will in the Endless Sea. Perhaps you may find your answer there.”
The Endless Sea? The Edge of the Sea?
Li Yi was relieved. He had not come here for nothing and finally obtained a clue.
“Oh, by the way, I’ve left something there. Bring it back for me while you’re there!”
Ding!
[You’ve accepted the quest Search for the Death God’s Lost Item from the Death God, Diablo. Quest difficulty: Grade SSS. The quest has a limited time of ten days. If the player fails the quest, the player’s level will be dropped by 10. If the player succeeds, the player shall be rewarded with EXP, items, Reputation, or Gold Coins. The player may pick one.]
[Automatically accepted the super quest!]
“Sigh...”
He had no other choice and was forced to accept the quest.
“Lord Death God, what’s the item that you’ve lost?”
Death God’s response made Li Yi speechless. “I’ve forgotten...”
F*ck. F*ck. F*ck. F*ck. F*ck...
The name of the item was not even given to him. This quest was a total bullsh*t.
Li Yi waved his hand as he was immediately transported to the Abyssal Sea’s Port Wharf.
The Endless Sea was a Reputation Map, which meant that players were required to be Worship with at least 50 factions to enter the map.
Flying was not allowed in the Endless Sea. Although players were able to swim across it, the distance was simply too long. The players would not be able to reach there without swimming for at least ten days.
The most convenient way was to sit in a boat and the players could arrive there safely in just half an hour.
Ding!
As Li Yi was waiting for the boat at the wharf, his messenger pane rang. He looked at the messenger and it was Bai Xiaoya.
Li Yi clicked into the window. A melodious voice rang into Li Yi’s ears, but he found her voice extremely disgusting.
“I want to negotiate with you!”
“What do you want to negotiate?”
“Come to Brokeback Mountain where Falcon Post is located. I want to negotiate with you face to face!”
Li Yi sneered, “I’m about to head to the Endless Sea. I don’t have the time for this.”
“No. You can’t go there now!” Bai Xiaoya sounded urgent.
“Why not?”
“Honk... Honk...”
Two honks could be heard as a big ship entered the port. The ship that was heading towards the Endless Sea had arrived.
“You better come here right now if you don’t want me to bring us down altogether!” Bai Xiaoya’s tone was filled with threats.
Li Yi scoffed, “I’m sorry. I’m already in the boat.”
“You...”
Li Yi was not scared of any threat at all. Bai Xiaoya was at a huge loss as Autumn Love kept pressuring her. In addition, due to the lack of supply, the Fluttering Snow Alliance was on the verge of bankruptcy.
It was obvious that she could no longer keep it together since she was the one who initiated the negotiation.
“Don’t make me do it. You’ll regret it!”
[System Notification: Target is no longer within communication range...]
“Dark Wing!”
[System Notification: Target is no longer within communication range...]
Li Yi had boarded the ship and gone to the Endless Sea before Bai Xiaoya even told him what her threat was.
He was not afraid of any threat at all.
He did not want to bother with her since her tone was so strong despite being the one to initiate the negotiation.
At the Falcon Post located at Brokeback Mountain in the Southern Continent, Bai Xiaoya was complaining angrily as she sat in her chair.
The members’ expenses were nothing to be worried of. However, the guild map’s maintenance fee must not be delayed. The System would deduct the fees by the end of the month and the guild’s level would automatically drop if they did not have the money.
The loss would be huge if that were to happen.
“Lil Purple, where are you?”
“I’m at the Wooden Dummy Challenge. I’m trying to break the ranking.”
“What rank are you at now?”
“Number 2. The one above me is Dark Wing.”
“Don’t bother with it. Come to the Falcon Post, let’s think of a way to solve this.”
“What’s wrong?”
“The Fluttering Snow’s Alliance cash flow has been disrupted. We won’t last in a few days.”
“Alright. I’m on my way.”
As the situation was simply too urgent, even Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut who would usually just order people around had to step in.
Li Yi was already on his way to the Endless Sea. Hence, all of his communications and mails were blocked. All of the channels were blank.
“Warning, warning!” the NPC Dwarf Captain ran to the deck and screamed, “We’ve now entered the Endless Sea. There are giant piranhas here and to ensure the passengers’ safety, all passengers shall hide in the cabin. No one is allowed to stand on the deck.”
Splash!
A giant whale splashed out from the sea, opened its mouth wide and swallowed the Dwarf Captain on the deck in one swoop.
Splash!
The giant whale disappeared into the sea...
The entire thing happened less than 3 seconds...
