Chapter 169 - Windcloud Suddenly Rising
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chen Mo kept his word. Without having to wait until the second day, Yan Li was stopped by a group of people whom Chen Mo had dispatched just as he was sent to the hospital to be bandaged. After a period of punches and kicks, he was forcefully sent to the station before they randomly bought him a train ticket and got him tumbling and crawling into the train.
When Yan Li heard that the person who did this to him was Chen Mo, his guts almost spilled out from fright. Even without Chen Mo’s warning, he would never dare to return to the capital unless he wanted to die.
Li Yi had neither the slightest inkling regarding this matter nor did he know how it was carried out. He was so exhausted that he slept soundly on his bed. When he woke up, it was already noon the next day.
Checking his phone, he saw a video message. He opened it and saw that it was actually a video of Yan Li stumbling to get on the train at the station. Li Yi smiled once he had finished watching it and send a text back to Chen Mo, “Thanks.”
Most of the guild members who came to attend the gathering had left. Some of them such as Fire Ice, Lil Man, and the other girls had already withdrawn quietly before the gathering had even ended. Only people like Li Yi and Chen Yang who drunk a lot of alcohol had stayed for the night.
When Li Yi and Chen Yang left, Little Elf from the Magical Realm did not personally accompany them. However, she still dispatched her staff in a luxurious limousine to drive and send both of them to the magnetic levitation train station.
“Both of you, Director Yang asked me to tell you that you’re welcomed to visit again next time.” Before leaving, the chauffeur Old Wang conveyed Little Elf from the Magical Realm’s words.
“That was rude of her not to personally send us off.” Chen Yang rubbed his aching head while whispering unhappily. He had also just woken up after sleeping until noon.
Li Yi laughed and said, “She’s a busy person, the boss of a huge international company. You should be contented with what you got.”
Chen Yang groaned, “Busy? I don’t believe that. Has there ever been a time when you don’t see her playing the game?”
Slightly stunned, Li Yi shook his head.
Chen Yang did not understand but Li Yi was aware why Little Elf from the Magical Realm did not personally send them off…
It was not a dream last night.
When both of them had just sat down in the magnetic levitation train, Li Yi’s phone chimed again. Little Elf from the Magical Realm had sent him a text.
“It was just a dream last night, you should definitely not assume that it was real.”
Li Yi, “…”
“Brother Yi, last night I, cough cough…” Chen Yang’s round face was suddenly flushed.
“You what?”
“I slept with two Orc babes last night. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I realized that none of us were wearing any clothes. After that… you know what happened.”
“Like hell I’d know!” Li Yi crudely gestured his middle finger at Chen Yang.
“You’re not pursuing Fire Ice anymore?”
“Pursue my *ss. She’s always treated me as a regular friend and she’s never had any of those intentions before. On the other hand, that group of Orc babes definitely have an undisguised love for me. This morning, I found out after listening to them whispering that they’d apparently gotten me drunk on purpose. That’s so… so bold.”
Li Yi, “…”
“I only hated the part where I was an obedient virgin who just lost my virginity like that. The part that pissed me off the most was that I didn’t f*cking feel anything…” A tragically heroic look appeared on Chen Yang’s face while he swallowed a few big mouthfuls of saliva.
“Lost your *ss. What are those two Orc babes thinking now?”
“They said that they’d look for me at home next time.” Chen Yang covered his face with both hands.
“F*ck me!” Li Yi rudely pointed his middle finger again.
…
When he returned home, Li Yi was still unable to lift his own spirits. He lay on his bed and slept soundly for another 5 hours before he finally recovered.
Picking up his phone to check what time it was, he was shocked seeing he had over a hundred unread text messages and more than a hundred unanswered phone calls.
Li Yi dialed Pretty Good Mood’s number.
“It’s not good, the Western Continent’s camp has gathered more than 30,000 people to launch surprise attacks in our major cities. The damages are disastrous, and they’ve already seized six major cities.”
“I’ll come online into the game immediately.” Li Yi’s emotions were stirring.
Five hours ago, when the Western Continent’s camp raided the Eastern Continent’s major cities and declared war against all of the Eastern Continent’s players, their leader was none other than the clan leader of the Windcloud Clan, Windcloud Overlord!
“We’ve only come to teach you a little lesson this time! If you want to blame someone, blame your Eastern Continent’s celebrity, Dark Wing. That damn piece of trash only knew how to ambush, and slaughter alt accounts like us. Immoral scum!”
The players from the Western Continent’s camp would say these exact words every time they killed a player from the Eastern Continent’s camp. The source of their actions this time was evidently Li Yi.
The first time Li Yi came to the Western Continent and killed three alt accounts, the other side merely tolerated it. However, how could the Western Continent’s players still keep enduring it after he had come to the Western Continent a second time and killed no less than a hundred alt accounts? Furthermore, when the Little Drunk Cat Guild obtained the Level 40 Instance Dungeon’s highest reward, the Western Continent’s players were completely furious.
They needed to suppress them once because they were too arrogant now!
The clan leader of the Windcloud Clan, Windcloud Overlord had contacted various large guilds and gathered more than 30,000 people to advance towards the Eastern Continent to slaughter their citizens.
Unlike internal sieges within local camps, different camps could freely seize the other major cities’ commodities. The items that were being sold by NPCs and the treasures inside the major cities’ storehouses could all be looted. Moreover, once the looting was successful, the targeted major cities’ Prosperity Value would deteriorate. Within a short span of time, the tax on the items that were bought by the players would increase to a frightening rate of 100% while the highest value it could reach was 500%.
For instance, brief equipment repairs that initially only cost 100 Gold Coins and an additional 1 Gold Coin as tax would immediately cost 200 Gold Coins now.
The targeted major cities that were plundered would be inflicted with a tax increase of 100% while all of the major cities within the ransacked continents would suffer a tax increase of 10% to 25%. It could be said that once a raid incident had occurred within the other camps, the ones who would suffer the losses were all of the players of that continent.
System Notification: The Western Continent’s Windcloud Army has raided Beastwars Valley. Beastwars Valley’s Prosperity Value has decreased by 1000 points and tax has increased by 100%. The Eastern Continent’s Reputation Value has decreased to 1291
/5000 points. The current state is extremely dangerous. Once the Eastern Continent’s Reputation Value has decreased below 1000 points, there is a probability that NPC defections will occur. Heroes of the Eastern Continent, quickly hold weapons in your hands to meet the foreign enemy.
The moment Li Yi went online, he saw the System Notification written in bright red.
“Mood, where are you guys?”
“Killing them at Beastwars Valley.”
“I’ll be there immediately!”
Li Yi rode the Crimson Tiger King and rushed as fast as he could to the Orc’s major city, Beastwars Valley.
It was already despicable enough to plunder the treasure of another party’s major city and their NPC’s items but slaughtering the normal NPCs inside the major city was unforgivable. When the other camp’s players were killing NPCs, it would result in the deterioration of the Eastern Continent’s Reputation Value. Once the continent’s Reputation Value had dropped below 1,000 points, the continent’s NPCs would have a probability of engaging in defection activities. If certain important NPCs defected abroad, the losses would be too tremendous.
“All of the Eastern Continent’s players should take note, please temporarily cast aside your personal grudges. The b*stards of the Western Continent are currently plundering our city. All of the continent’s taxes have drastically increased and we players are all suffering. Therefore, cast aside your personal grudges for now and resist the foreign enemy together! Guild Master of the Dream Guild, Flower Underpants is present!”

Guild Master of the God Creator Guild, Confused Fox is present!”

“All of the Eastern Continent’s players should take note, please temporarily cast aside your personal grudges. The b*stards of the Western Continent are currently plundering our city. All of the continent’s taxes have drastically increased and we players are all suffering. Therefore, cast aside your personal grudges for now and resist the foreign enemy together! Acting Guild Master of the Huashan Guild, Wang’er is present! I don’t have any money so I’ll only yell once. F*ck, if anyone can lend me 100 Gold Coins, I’ll do it again.”
These messages were sent one after another on the World Channel as all the players from the different guilds of the Eastern Continent spontaneously united and rushed towards Beastwars Valley together.
The person who had contacted the various large guilds to resist the foreign enemy together was none other than the Little Drunk Cat Guild’s Great Commander, Pretty Good Mood. While Li Yi was sleeping soundly and could not be contacted, Pretty Good Mood had no choice but to act on his own and contacted the other Guild Masters to cooperate and face the enemy.
Outside Beastwars Valley, Brother Windcloud Nine charged towards the frontmost part of the unit. Countless attacks bombarded him, but he dodged more than half of them and blocked almost half. Only a small amount of attacks hit their target and decreased about ten of his HP.
The ability to resist a hundred attacks despite being a single person made him resemble the immovable Acala. (TN: A powerful Buddhist deity.)
Yang Xingchen charged over at once and fought 1v1 against Brother Windcloud Nine.
“Block! Shield Bash! Double Retaliation!”
Both of them fought back and forth and were inextricably locked in battle.
Armored Warriors had inferior ATK but their DEF was extremely strong. However, it was wrong to assume that Armored Warriors did not have explosive forces. In reality, as long as their techniques were amazing, those who played as Armored Warriors could similarly achieve outstanding damage values when they fought.
They would first use their Blocks to defuse their opponent’s attacks. Once their Fury Bar had increased, they would then use Shield Bash to hit them until they fainted. Their Fury Bar would increase once again at this time. When they had finally exhausted their entire Fury Bar, they would use their Finishing Blow called Double Retaliation to strike their opponent to result in damage that was multiplied by two to three times.
In terms of technique, Yang Xingchen was slightly better than Brother Windcloud Nine. However, Brother Windcloud Nine’s equipment was far superior in comparison to Yang Xingchen’s because his body was covered in 13 gold-colored equipment. Regardless of his damage or Damage Reduction, they were both worth being called terrifying.
Both of them had not fought for long before Yang Xingchen was almost out of HP from the attacks. At this moment, I Love Beast Beast continuously raised his Staff before Yang Xingchen’s HP was immediately restored.
“Shameless!” Brother Windcloud Nine ruthlessly spat.
Yang Xingchen blushed and said, “You could get your healers to heal you too.”
“I’m not as shameless as you!” Brother Windcloud Nine furiously roared while the waving of his sword soon became stiffer.
There were many other similar battle scenes but overall, the strength of the players from the Western Continent greatly surpassed that of the players from the Eastern Continent.
However, this certainly did not mean that the players from the Eastern Continent were all useless. The reason was simple, the troops that were sent by the Western Continent’s camp were the highest elites of that local continent. Moreover, the elite players from the Eastern Continent had yet to gather.
Brother Windcloud Nine led his troops to block outside Beastwars Valley while Windcloud Overlord led others to burn and plunder inside the major cities. Not only did they pillage and take all the commodities away, but they even slaughtered every single killable NPC and left none behind!
“Everyone, heed my orders and shift to another position while the soldiers advance to Shattered Frost City!”
Once they had completely ransacked Beastwars Valley, Windcloud Overlord who possessed a brilliant grandeur now pointed towards the east and led the troops as they charged out of Beastwars Valley.
