MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 342: 342: Changes in the Wind and Clouds

“Oh my god, can’t there be a bit of peace for a while?” Angel, the guardian, couldn’t wrap his head around the arena that seemed like it was about to explode: “My heart just calmed down and he’s stirred up an even bigger commotion.”

“What’s the problem? I think Big Brother is quite cool,” Daimeng Tonton said with a bit of cheer and excitement.

“This is too audacious, way too reckless. It’s unbelievable,” the Unparalleled Bewitching Maiden carefully said: “I’ve never seen someone so outrageous, actually daring to challenge the entire world.”

Feng Yi sighed and said: “Back in the days, the Mad God, who was known as the craziest person in the arena, never dared to declare war on the world.”

“Even if he hadn’t done this, the guild master would still have to fight a hundred battles. That’s just what his elite quest is like. No choice. And in his eyes, there probably isn’t much difference between a master and a typical player.” Li Jie frowned, she could guess that since keeping a low profile wasn’t possible, might as well go all out. But this move was stirring up quite the storm.

There were too many players in the game, amongst which existed hidden masters.

Li Yao wanted to dominate a hundred rounds. With his skills, it wouldn’t be particularly difficult. However, the issue was, once he did that, many people wouldn’t be able to overlook it.

For instance, the masters hidden within the guilds. Many of them, for their own pride, would want to challenge him. Under such circumstances, for Li Yao to dominate a hundred rounds, it would be extremely difficult.

The rules of the main arena were simple: during battle, whoever lost would be thrown out from the arena, only the victor could continue.

This was the difficulty of grabbing colorful gift packages. Being able to kill the Sand Dragon King already demonstrated power, completing a hundred general rounds was easy, but battling with experts for a hundred rounds consecutively, the energy consumption was not small.

Even immortals experience bouts of exhaustion. In high-level duels, the smallest mistake could decide the victor.

“This is really two different matters. Initially for him, it was just a somewhat difficult task. But now, I can already imagine guilds sending masters to stop him.” Angel sighed heavily. He believed Li Yao could win several dozens of rounds, but a hundred was really too difficult.

Li Yao, seemingly afraid the guilds wouldn’t willingly send out their masters, continued saying: “I’m the most honest person. My elite job task is to dominate the main arena for a hundred rounds. Yes, I am saying it for all of you to hear. Those who bear grudges against me, if you want revenge, don’t let go of this opportunity. I give my enemies who wish for my downfall an hour. Those who didn’t challenge the Sand Dragon King should rush to do so, those who want to gather equipment should get the best ones. That’s it.” With that, Li Yao’s figure vanished.

“It’s like he’s afraid his enemies won’t be willing to intercept him. He deliberately mentioned this being his mission. He even fears his enemies are not strong enough and guides them on what to do. Oh my god, this madman,” Angel held his face in his hand.

The entire arena was still boiling with excitement, with many guild members spreading the news out.

As players dispersed, the explosive news spread rapidly throughout the gaming world, through means in reality like on communication platforms, official forums of each administrative district, and channels in the game. This news spread crazily as if it was a contagious plague.

Even gamers who didn’t pay attention to the game’s current affairs knew that there was such a lunatic in The Ancient God World–a madman absurd enough to challenge the world alone.

He even boldly announced that he hoped to encounter an opponent that could defeat him.

Damn it, who do you think you are? Just a player who recently gained some small fame. You’re really taking yourself too seriously, it’s simply unreasonable.

Many people couldn’t sit still anymore. They stopped leveling up and rushed to the arena as they abandoned their tasks.

The guilds who harbored grudges against Li Yao couldn’t sit still either. They immediately started selecting elites to challenge Li Yao and prevent him from completing his mission.

To them, this opportunity was extremely rare. Originally, no one knew about this, but Li Yao insisted on flaunting it. If they didn’t sabotage his quest now, it wouldn’t be worthy of him.

So they selected elites, gathered a set of luxury equipment, and actively prepared for it.

But Li Yao leisurely returned to Starfire Guild’s Mirror Arena and comfortably watched the guild players challenge the Sand Dragon King.

Upon their return, Angel and the others saw Li Yao in deep thought: “I say, you’re getting anxious now, right? You really were too impulsive.”

Li Yao turned his head in confusion and asked: “What are you talking about, anxious about what?”

“Aren’t you anxious about the hundred battles?” Feng Yi asked.

Li Yao looked confused and said: “What’s there to be anxious about? Just crush through them.”

It turned out that in their view the emperor is not worried but the eunuchs are worried. The elders didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Then, what were you thinking about just now? You were frowning,” Angel complained.

Li Yao seemed to understand and said: “Oh, you’re asking about this. Just in time, since you guys are here, help me make a decision. The queen told me that as long as I dominate a hundred rounds, I can get any ground mount from the Dark Camp of any race. I’m distressed about which mount from which race is the best. Help me make a decision. The Undead Warhorse of the Undeads looks pretty handsome, but it’s difficult to cultivate. The Kodo Beast of Tauren are not bad, can carry quite a lot of things, but they’re pretty ugly. The Frostwolf doesn’t seem grand enough…”

Uh…

“You were worrying about this?” Angel opened his mouth wide in disbelief.

“Yeah, what else should I worry about? Nevermind, we’ll talk about it later.” Li Yao took out a few wine glasses and said: “Come on, let’s have a drink, this is good wine. Guaranteed to have a lingering flavor, but it’s so good you can’t buy it.”

“Not in the mood to drink, just say it, why stir up this much trouble? What were you thinking?” Li Jie interrupted Li Yao.

“Alright, you guys are missing out.” Li Yao put away the Winter Springs Liquor and said: “It’s simple, I wanted to test the waters.”

“Test the waters?” Everyone was puzzled.

“Exactly, those clubs and guilds hide too deep, no one knows what aces and elite professions they have. So, I used myself as bait, hoping to catch some big fish. They can’t resist this bait and will definitely make a move, which will allow us to get a clear picture of them. It’s in preparation for the establishment of our club.”

Li Yao knew that it was not just the people around him who could become special elite professions. Every guild and club had no shortage either, just that they concealed them well. Therefore, Li Yao was probing them this time.

“I get it, but doing so…”

“I know, but… nevermind, you’ll see.” Li Yao stood up and said: “Let’s go, let’s head to the main arena to watch the excitement.”

Li Yao took the lead, and everyone turned their attention again to the main arena. As soon as they arrived at the main arena, they heard the loud roar of a dragon.

A dazzling Golden Dragon blasted a Mage player off the stage and killed him instantly. A burly figure appeared in the arena with a burst of hearty laughter.

“Hahaha, supreme under the Golden Dragon. I already won the twenty-third round, who dares to challenge me?” Li Yao immediately broke into a smile. If not Tie Niu, who else could this outrageous, conceited person be…
