Fire Impact! Maylia’s Wind Shield Protection!

Li Yi used his two special skills which granted a bonus in movement speed and rushed to the back of Ivrit’s corpse. He then looted the Dwarf’s best invention from the Flame Crown, the Encyclopedia of Engineering.

He had finally obtained it!

Li Yi was relieved. At the same time, the system announcement appeared.

….

The red screen remained for some time before another colorful announcement appeared.

The Little Drunk Cat Guild had achieved the first kill of Ivrit and is rewarded with an additional 10,000,000 Gold Coins. All party members are also rewarded with 10 Skill Points and a unique title, Fire King.

“Respect!”

“What the f*ck…”

“What the hell. We haven’t even cleared the first boss!”

What the Little Drunk Cat Guild had achieved today surprised no one, but it made them rather envious.

The Star Fire Guild was still stuck at the second boss, the Ultimate Combat Weapon and the same could be said for the other capable guilds. There was no other guild other than the Little Drunk Cat that could reach Ivrit yet.

As Li Yi looted the Encyclopedia of Engineering from the Flame Crown, Karone Foresight appeared and then cast an AoE Resurrection Spell to resurrect all fallen party members.

“Thank you for saving the Dwarf tribe.” Karone Foresight was so moved that he was in tears. After resurrecting all of the party members, he bent down to examine Ivrit’s corpse with his buttock up in the air as he started fumbling.

“Where is it hidden? On his body? No. Where is it? Where is it?”

Karone started sweating as he he lost his composure. Eventually, he saw the Flame Crown on the ground that was discarded and grabbed it excitedly, hugging it tightly in his hands.

“The dream and the icon of the Dwarfs. The Flame Crown. I’ve finally found it!”

Karone was so excited that he passed out while hugging the Flame Crown. On the other side, the party members stood together and cheered happily.

The Fire King title had an effect of providing 20 to all stats. Any player would have a stat of 1 or 2 levels higher compared to players of equal level with this title equipped.

However, this was not the main event. To the party members, the really good stuff was the Fire Devil’s Emblem.

Fire Devil’s Emblem (Unique Locking Item)

Crit Rate increased by 1%. EVA rate increased by 1%. HP and MP regen increased by 1%. 10% reduction in EXP loss when the player dies. When the Fire Devil’s Emblem is locked together to a piece of equipment, the equipment is unable to be dropped and the status of the equipment would revert back to normal once it is separated from the emblem.

With this, not only was the EXP penalty reduced by half, but it could also be locked onto any equipment and the said item would be undroppable. Take Li Yi’s 16 Maylia’s Ring of Windstorm for example. This item could be considered as a priceless item. What a colossal loss would it be if it were to be looted away by others if he dropped it?

This issue would not be a problem once a player had the Fire Devil’s Emblem. Once the emblem was locked together with the Ring of Windstorm, the ring would not drop even if he were to be killed by the enemies an infinite amount of times.

Everyone in the game had one or two valuable equipment on them. Li Yi had them, and so did the party members here. No further prompting was needed as everyone had immediately locked the emblem onto their most valuable equipment.

Li Yi locked the emblem onto the Ring of Windstorm. Sparks flew as the icon of the Fire Devil appeared on the Ring of Windstorm and the equipment’s status changed to undroppable.

The Fire Devil’s Emblem could be reused infinitely. If the player no longer wished to lock the equipment, they could take it off at any time and transfer it to another equipment.

“Worth it. It’s really worth it.” Mad Dragon was emotional.

It was not just him. Everyone in the party felt that all the sacrifices made so far was worth it.

“Time to loot the equipment.” Seeing Li Yi doing nothing for some time, Lil Man sent a message to remind him.

Both parties had made an agreement beforehand, where all the equipment would belong to the Little Drunk Cat Guild.

“Ice…”

Fire Ice took a couple of steps back with just one word from Li Yi. She put her hands up and stated that she was no longer interested in looting it.

Helplessly, Li Yi spoke, “Party leader Lil Man, why don’t you do the honors?”

“Giving me such an honor? Sure thing.” Lil Man smiled softly as her eyebrows twitched a little. Then, she advanced and looted the boss.

Hundreds of gold equipment flashed across everyone’s eyes. Furthermore, there was three purple equipment among the gold equipment.

They were the Devil Hunter’s Armor, Devil Hunter’s Legging, and Devil Hunter’s Bracer. These were incredibly valuable purple equipment Devil Set.

“The hunter’s equipment set…” Everyone was excited as they saw the stats from this three equipment.

These three equipment were the first equipment set suited for anyone in the Archer class between Level 40 to Level 60. Not only were their individual stats extremely good, but it would also activate a hidden stat once the player wore all four pieces of this equipment. When a player wore two pieces of this equipment, they could ignore 10% of the target’s DEF and would gain an additional 20% EVA when they had all four pieces.

“These equipment set will be given to the party leader. Does anyone have any objections?” Pretty Good Mood characteristically shouted.

Someone might have had objections if these three equipment were to be given to someone else. However, who would dare to object if they were given to Li Yi? One had to know that Li Yi had taken on Ivrit by himself at the most crucial moment. Furthermore, all of the potions and scrolls used for this Instance Dungeon were supplied by him. If he did not qualify to have this three equipment, then no one would.

“If no one has any comments, you can have all of them, party leader.”

Li Yi nodded as he transferred all three equipment to himself.

The Devil Hunter was the first purple equipment set for the Archer class. It was also characterized as Tier 1 equipment set. (The best Level 40-60 equipment.)

Li Yi changed into the equipment and his ATK increased tremendously. As he put on the other two equipment pieces from the set, the hidden stat where the target’s DEF would be ignored by 10% was activated as well. He would be able to activate the last stat where he would obtain 20% EVA if he could obtain the last Devil Hunter equipment piece.

In addition to the DEF ignored by the Frost Longbow and Ring of Windstorms, Li Yi could now ignore 43% of his target’s DEF.

“All guild members of the Little Drunk Cat are entitled to one equipment. My condolences to my friends from Platinum Hand.”

Pretty Good Mood started distributing the equipment and this left the Platinum Hand’s party members filled with envy. They could only sigh and blame themselves for not being a member of the Little Drunk Cat guild.

As the equipment the boss had dropped were plentiful, there was still a lot left over even when everyone from the Little Drunk Cat had claimed their share of equipment.

Li Yi then turned towards Lil Man with a grin on his face as he said generously, “Party Leader Lil Man, please pick the equipment that you desire.”

“There’s some for me too?” Lil Man’s eyes were filled with excitement.

“Of course. If I were the one who looted it, the equipment from the Devil Hunter’s set might not have been dropped at all.”

“In that case, I won’t hold back.”

She really did not hold back at all as she picked seven useful equipment and grinned at Li Yi.

Although a lot of people had yet to obtain their equipment, they were extremely satisfied with just having the Fire Devil’s Emblem.

Although not everyone was satisfied with the distribution, there were no quarrels among them and there was solid harmony between the members once more.

“I have a suggestion.” Little Elf from the Magical Realm suddenly raised her hand as she spoke.

“What suggestion?” asked Pretty Good Mood.

“We should celebrate this joyous moment. Let’s gather and have a feast. I’ll host.”

“Sure. That’s great. It was no easy feat to clear this Instance Dungeon. It would be great if we can gather to celebrate…”

Little Elf from the Magical Realm’s suggestion was approved by the majority of the members. Naturally, there were a few of them who frowned upon the idea as they believed that whatever happened in the game should stay in the game. It would be great if everyone would get along fine when they met up in person. However, it would affect the relationship in the game if anything went sour in real life.

Of course, these players were scattered across the country. One of the main issues was that everyone had to consider their financial expenses for lodging and transportation if everyone were to get together.

Then, Little Elf from the Magical Realm asked Li Yi. “Guild Master, what do you say? Don’t worry about it. I may not be able to treat everyone on a daily basis but it is still manageable if it’s a one time or two occasions. I will cover everybody’s transportation and lodging expenses as long as they’re willing to come!”

“Woah!!” Everyone was shocked.

“She’s a rich wife! I didn’t expect her to be a rich wife…”

“As expected, it’s better to marry a great husband than to work hard for half of your lifetime…”

The party members started to chat one after the other and a heated discussion ensued.

“Great. Let’s gather up.” Li Yi smiled.

Then, Lil Man started typing to Li Yi. “We Platinum Hand members would love to join as well. Is that alright?”

“You’re most welcome!” Little Elf from the Magical Realm clapped her hands in delight.

Pretty Good Mood and Little Elf from the Magical Realm then went on to discuss the date and location. As the others had nothing else to do, Li Yi officially announced for the party to disband.

Everyone else had left the Instance Dungeon except for Li Yi, who was standing in front of Ivrit’s corpse. He was staring at Karone Foresight who was hugging onto the Flame Crown tightly. It was obvious that he was on cloud nine.

The Flame Crown was one of the Dwarfs’ most sacred items. One could rise up to become the new Dwarf King by possessing the Flame Crown. However, what Karone did not know was that the true value of the Flame Crown was not that it was a symbol to become King but the Encyclopedia of Engineering enclosed in it.

Li Yi took out the Encyclopedia of Engineering and opened it slowly. A gold ray of light poured out of the encyclopedia and went into his body as the Encyclopedia of Engineering vanished.

The System Notification then rang.

Congratulations. You’ve studied the Dwarf’s Encyclopedia of Engineering and have obtained the lifestyle class Engineer. As you are the first player to activate the Engineering class, your Engineering level is immediately raised to the highest level and you have become the only legendary Engineer in the server.

Then a colorful System Notification appeared!

As the Fire Devil Ivrit has been slain, the Dwarf’s unique talent, Engineering, has been spread across the world. The Dwarf Smiths responsible for passing down the class Engineer can now be interacted with in every major city. If you wish to learn the art of engineering, you are more than welcome to seek them!

Another storm was brewing before the current one had subsided. All around, the players were pumped as the new lifestyle class, Engineer was released to the masses…
