“That’s not right, you just took out Carefree Regret with a single shot! What kind of damage is that from just a pistol? The Tanker, who had been silent all along, suddenly broke his silence.
The others’ faces changed as well. Even Carefree Regret, who was still in shock from Li Yao’s four consecutive evasions of Flash, was stunned.
They had just been marvelling at Li Yao’s positioning skills, which were simply godlike. But after the tanker’s reminder, they realised Li Yao’s damage was outrageously high.
If it were said that Carefree Regret had instantly slain an average Hunter player, they wouldn’t be surprised at all. After all, Hunters are fragile by nature, and for a pro gamer like Carefree Regret, defeating a fragile class is not a particularly challenging task.
But the point is, the one who got insta-killed was Carefree Regret, and it was by a Hunter who was considered to be of a weak profession.
Carefree Regret’s gear was naturally exceptional, probably among the top tier. But even with such gear, he was instantaneously taken out by a Hunter using a single hand weapon, which was simply unbelievable.
“With this, there’s no need for doubt. He’s definitely Prairie Fire, where else could we find another Hunter like this?” The Mage also chimed in.
“If it’s Prairie Fire, then we can’t go any further. Please turn back, otherwise don’t blame us for ganging up on you.” The Tanker said.
Even if they harbor deep hatred for Li Yao, the approaching Level 20 makes them wary. After witnessing Li Yao’s hundred-win-streak strength, even Carefree Regret’s gaming studio did not want to lock horns with this kind of monster.
Even if they were able to kill Li Yao, it simply means he would drop a level, and with the monstrous leveling speed this guy has, he would regain that in a flash.
On the contrary, they would certainly suffer great losses, and it would become troublesome to regain their lost levels.
In the end, they are just a gaming studio, where their principle is to prioritize profits. Suffering such losses, being laughed at by others, and letting other guilds reap the benefits is not worth it.
Now, who knows how many guilds were hoping for Li Yao to engage in a deathmatch with some party.
“Stop messing around. It was you guys who said you’d kneel and call him grandpa if you lost. We never forced you to fulfill that promise, we just want to get in and level up.” Li Yao’s sister had similar sentiments. What she hoped for at this moment was for the Starfire guild to have a period of stable development, at least until they could establish their guild base.
Going all out now really wasn’t worth it. If they suffered heavy losses, it would affect their clearance of the Level 20 instance.
Just as the Tanker was about to speak, they heard a thud. Seeing what happened, everyone was dumbfounded.
Not only the members of Carefree Regret’s studio, but even Li Yao and his sister were stunned. What the hell was happening?
All they saw was Carefree Regret kneeling on the ground, his eyes fixed on Li Yao.
“Carefree, you must be tired, you’ve fallen down.” The female Priest quickly stepped forward to help him up.
Carefree Regret shook his head, pushed away the female Priest and said: “A man should keep his word. Since I’ve lost, I’ll face the music. I am not a sore loser.”
“Carefree, you’re drunk, log off as soon as you can.” The Tanker said darkly. Carefree was a good buddy, seeing him like this just angered him.
“None of you need to worry.” Carefree Regret looked at Li Yao again.
Li Yao also snapped out of his shock and quickly retreated to one side.
What his sister had said earlier was just to taunt Carefree studio. In the game, people talk big and swear all the time. But unless a contract is established, who can take it seriously?
They hadn’t expected Carefree Regret to actually kneel, which was beyond the siblings’ expectations.
Hence, their contempt for him lessened a bit. This guy might be something else, but at least he was a man of his word. There weren’t many sincere people like that left.
“Dude, you’re causing me to lose years of my life here, I can’t accept your kowtowing.” Li Yao said with a bitter smile: “The bet was all just playful banter, how could you take it seriously? You’re drunk, it’s better if you log off and rest as your friend suggested.”
“You’re too honest.” Li Yao’s sister was speechless. In her over ten years of dealing in the business world, she had never met someone like this.
Hearing what Li Yao and his sister said, the members of Carefree studio looked at them with a lot more goodwill. Whether they were enemies or not, at least the two had their principles.
“This is a man’s promise.” Carefree Regret looked at Li Yao again, apparently about to shout those two words.
Li Yao was close to tears, but fortunately his sister was quick to react. She cast a tranquilizing Polymorph spell, turning him into a sheep.
The two words he was about to utter turned into a sheep’s “baaa”.
“Seriously, stop messing around. If you keep this up I’m going to one-shot you.” Li Yao could be more arrogant when dealing with boasters. But when faced with this situation, he was speechless.
“Master, take me as your disciple.” After the Polymorph spell wore off, Carefree Regret didn’t kneel. Instead, he ran up to Li Yao and asked.
“Big brother, what are you playing at, even if you guys want to buy time for your studio to fight bosses you shouldn’t be like this.” Li Yao retorted.
“No Master, I’m serious.” Carefree Regret looked earnest: “I have always regarded myself as a top player, if not the best. Even if I lost to you now, I thought it was just because you had better gear and pets. It was only when we really clashed that I realized how ridiculous my thoughts were, and how absurd the notions of the so-called pros are. I’ve also experienced your godlike technique…”
Li Yao covered his face, people like this…
Li Yao’s sister said: “The guild leader will not accept you as a disciple, after all, you are a member of Carefree studio.”
“I only joined Carefree because I was invited by a friend, and I didn’t want to refuse.”
“But you are still a veteran of Carefree studio, Starfire won’t trust you.” Li Yao’s sister rejected him on Li Yao’s behalf. Whether it was a joke or not, Starfire did not lack such a person.
“That can be solved, just wait for me, Master, look at my performance.” Carefree Regret turned his head and said: “Old Huang, I’m sorry, I’m going to leave Carefree.”
“Carefree, you’ve gone crazy.” The Tanker was almost choked with anger.
“Carefree, don’t.” The female Priest’s eyes flashed with a hint of unwillingness to part.
“My mind is made up. It was Prairie Fire who let me know that there are always people out there who are better, and made me understand that my techniques are far from being mastered, so I decided to go to Starfire. I believe the master will teach me the techniques and train me sooner or later.”
“You’re stupid! He said it himself, they just won’t believe you.” The female Priest said.
“I believe time will prove everything.” Carefree Regret removed all his gear and said: “I’ll email all this gear and the things in my warehouse to you. I’m deleting this account, Carefree Regret will cease to exist.”
“Madman, you’re a madman.” The Tanker was speechless.
“Master, my new profile is Starfire Regret. When I become an elite profession again, give me an opportunity to join Starfire,” Carefree Regret finished speaking, his Hearthstone had finished casting, clearly indicating that he was going back to the city to mail things, then he would delete his account and start over.
Holy crap…
Li Yao suddenly felt like ten thousand grass-mud horses were galloping past.
Coming across such a person, Li Yao didn’t know how to react. Li Yao and his sister looked at each other, speechless…
PS: Carefree Regret is asking for monthly passes…
