There were many loot options in King of Pantheon, such as the one Li Yi used the most often, Master Loot, where only the party leader and no other member was allowed to distribute the loot.

This casual party did not use Master Loot. Instead, they applied the Need Before Greed system.

Unless they changed the looting option, the system default would be Need Before Greed. Players could choose either Need or Greed according to their classes.

Need took higher priority than Greed. If one player rolled Need and the others all rolled Greed, the item would go to the person who chose Need. If everyone rolled Greed, they would then roll a dice of 1-100 to decide who would get the item.

Even though Li Yi did not care about that Level 20 blue bow, people who Needed even when the equipment was offspec irked him slightly.

“Did the four of you come together?” Li Yi rolled Pass, refusing to fight them for the item. In the end, the captain obtained the blue bow via dice roll.

“It’s a temporary group, none of us know each other.” The casual party leader laughed heartily, his eyes shining as he held the blue bow.

The party continued forward. Li Yi kept singling out the monsters, and soon they had gone through seven mobs. Finally, they arrived before boss number one, the Violent Fire Dwarf.

The Violent Fire Dwarf was very easy to defeat. The main tank did not need to move, and the other classes just had to keep dpsing.

Li Yi’s own attributes had already fallen as far as they could go. Right now, his power was roughly equivalent to a Level 10 player. Thankfully, the Wolf Soul Bow’s inherent 30% Crit Rate was rather powerful. Put that with the Beginner-level Flame Arrows, and Li Yi’s damage was not too excruciating to look at.

“Pretty good, Archer!” cried the casual party leader.

When fighting monsterlings, Li Yi was reluctant to waste Beginner-level Flame Arrow, but he used them when fighting mini-bosses. It was not his style to have others accuse him of holding the party back.

The Beginner-level Flame Arrow’s special effect kicked in, and the mini-boss rapidly lost HP. The party completed this battle within a minute.

The Holy Paladin went forth and looted the boss. A pair of gold-colored leather DPS shoes appeared before the five of them.

“F*ck, shoes with AGI up! Those are meant for main tanks!” The Holy Shield Paladin was the first to start yelling, and he rolled Need.

“Meant for main tanks, my *ss! This is obviously meant for DPS, don’t take me for a fool!” spat the Punishment Paladin, the leader of the casual party. He rolled Need as well.

“It increases AGI and mana recovery speed, so this is for Holy Paladins…” The Healing Paladin chose Need as well.

“If DPS can use it, I need it too…” The final Punishment Paladin rolled Need as well. Only Li Yi was left, and he did not choose anything…

He had long since discovered that these people were all Needy.

“Roll Greed for equipment you can’t use and Need for the stuff you can use. That’s the most basic rule of the game,” explained Li Yi patiently.

“Bro, tell me something I don’t know. I’ve known that since I started the game, and it’s not like I’m randomly pressing Need on everything. Take that blue bow from before, for example. Sure, I can’t use it, but my wife can. I wanted to bring it back for my wife.”

“You…” Li Yi nearly burst out saying, “Then you might as well bring it back for your ma”, but he restrained himself, swallowing the words at the tip of his tongue.

“I wanted the blue bow because I wanted to open an alt account. You’re an Archer so you would know. Archers are all the rage now, Li Yi’s my hero, man.” The other Punishment Knight had a very strong excuse as well.

“I wanted the bow cuz I was thinking of switching classes, I didn’t randomly roll Need either.” The Healing Paladin had a lot to say for himself too.

‘Aren’t these excuses all a bit much?’

Li Yi had assumed that they were novices who did not know the rules. That was why he wanted to explain it to them. Now it turned out that they all knew the rules of the game, but they were disregarding the feelings of others for the sake of their own selfish desires.

‘Whatever… I’m just here to find a random party, just leave them be.’

Li Yi had seen too many trivial matters and trivial people in the previous life. Presently, he heaved a long sigh, calmed himself down, and chose Pass, allowing the other four to roll.

The party continued to push forward, and no matter what equipment they obtained, the four of them never chose Greed. Without exception, every single roll was Need.

“A Fire Cloth Hat that increases INT, damn, that’s meant for main tanks! Wearing it will help reduce damage…”

“Meant for main tanks, my *ss! That’s obviously for physical DPS, its effect increases skill damage!”

“Healing Paladins could use it too, y’know? Don’t fight me for this one, I can heal faster with more INT.”

“Healing Paladins use plate armor, cloth armor’s useless for you…”

Li Yi shook his head helplessly and continued to roll Pass.

Blazing City Wall only had two bosses. Li Yi pulled monsters the whole way, and soon they reached the final boss, the Steam Dwarf.

The Steam Dwarf only had one skill, Earthquake. The player just had to run away when the boss used it, and then the Steam Dwarf would be nothing more than another dummy boss.

They defeated it easily in 2 minutes. The casual party leader rubbed his hand and looted the corpse.

All things aside, he was on quite the roll. Somehow, he managed to obtain a gold-colored piece of mail for DPS and an extremely rare Engineer’s Drawing, the Alarm Robot Blueprint.

Li Yi’s eyes lit up. He rolled Pass on the gold-colored mail but chose Need on the Alarm Robot Blueprint.

When the other four saw the drawing, all of them grew excited.

As a world drop, the Alarm Robot Blueprint was just as rare as the Crimson Tiger King. It was an extremely rare and precious drawing for Beginner Engineers. Right now, its market price was at least 300,000 Gold Coins.

When the casual party leader saw the blueprint, he was stunned for a moment. When he recovered, he opened the list of members and began to kick people out.

His plan was very simple and direct. He would remove everyone and then claim the blueprint for himself.

System notification: Before the loot from the boss is distributed, you cannot kick out any party members…

The casual party leader’s plan failed. Li Yi and the others received the notification.

“Motherf*cker, you tryna pull a fast one on us!” The Healing Paladin was the first one to lose it. Switching to full attack mode, he slashed at the casual party leader…

“Kill that b*stard!” The other two flew into a rage as well, activating full attack mode and ganging up on the leader.

Somehow, the Healing Paladin’s ATK was not too much lower than the other two. When the three of them surrounded the leader, they managed to take him down within seconds.

“I hate people who cheat! If you want it, choose Need and no one will say anything against you. How dare you try this! I’ll chase you to the ends of the earth, damnit, the ends of the earth!”

The Healing Paladin roared at the casual party leader’s corpse, throwing his arms into the air.

“If you dare to kill me, you’ll regret it! I’m from the Little Drunk Cat Guild!” The casual party leader revealed his trump card.

The Healing Paladin was slightly taken aback, and then he swore softly, “…F*ck, Little Drunk Cat’s full of d*cks.” His voice was extremely soft, showing his lack of confidence.

“There aren’t any d*cks in Little Drunk Cat!” Just as Li Yi was about to explain, the Holy Shield Paladin butted in. Pointing at the casual party leader, he said, “You’re telling me Little Drunk Cat will accept noobs like you? Don’t f*cking kid with me, do you dare to show us your guild emblem and name?”

Li Yi shrugged helplessly because the Holy Shield Paladin had stolen his line.

This was a party made on the spot, so all five of them had all hidden their names.

“I’m Wold Wolf 125, member of Little Drunk Cat’s Backup Legion. Just you wait for it, you guys are dead meat.” The casual party leader actually fell for their instigation, revealing his name and the Little Drunk Cat guild emblem.

Little Drunk Cat’s emblem was a lazy little cat getting drunk. When the other three players saw the guild emblem above Wild Wolf 125’s head, they all fell silent.

Little Drunk Cat was the number one power in the Eastern Continent, and their Guild Master Dark Wing was a figure of legends. Countless people worshipped and tried to emulate the scene where, alone on a single tiger, he managed to force back the Savage Tribe. These people were all casual players, so how would they dare to make enemies of such a powerful guild?

Wild Wolf 125 had his nose in the air. “Scary, huh? I’ll corpse-run back right now. If y’all give me the blueprint, I’ll pretend none of this ever happened.”

Next to him, Li Yi lost it. He found Wild Wolf 125’s name and kicked the latter out of the guild!

“Eh? Why’d the guild emblem above his head vanish?” said the Healing Paladin in surprise, pointing at Wild Wolf 125’s corpse.

“Has he left the guild? Haha, he got kicked out, didn’t he?” The other two were overjoyed.

“No accepting people into the guild without my permission. From now on, start clearing out the trash within the guild. If you find any trivial people or trivial matters, sweep them all out and blacklist them so that they’ll never be able to join again!” Li Yi sent a message to Chen Yang, Fire Ice and all the other higher-ups in the guild who had the right to accept members.

Wild Wolf 125 did not return for a long time. About 5 minutes later, his body disappeared from the ground and he immediately left the party.

The Healing Paladin was over the moon. “Haha, he did get kicked out! He doesn’t even dare to come back here now.”

“The four of us will roll!”

The Healing Paladin rolled 25 points, the Punishment Paladin 20, the Holy Shield Paladin 94, and Li Yi 95.

“F*ck, just one point short, damnit!” The Holy Shield Paladin shook his head helplessly.

The party disbanded. Li Yi held the blueprint and clapped his hands together, learning how to craft an Alarm Robot.

It was not hard to find the materials necessary to craft an Alarm Robot, and its effects were very practical as well. When a player unleashed an Alarm Robot, there was a certain chance of detecting all living creatures within 30 yards. It rendered skills like Stealth and Invisibility ineffective.

He always had bad luck with looting, but when it came to rolling points, he would win the roll at least 80 to 90 percent of the time. Even he did not know why.

There were already more than 40 Soul Crystals in his Backpack, but he still had not received the notification saying that his quest was complete. In order to obtain that Divine Bow that could make even gods tremble, Li Yi had no choice but to continue farming.

“Are there any Archers who know how to pull monsters? We’re playing 4 1, anyone interested can message us!”

As soon as Li Yi walked out of the dungeon, he heard someone calling for Archers.

“Since when have Archers been in so much demand?” Li Yi lifted his head in surprise and immediately laughed. He had spotted a familiar face.

She wore a sparkling suit of blue heavy armor, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, a Horn Helmet covering her face completely. Her name was not hidden—it was Girl without Underwear.

He had met her a few times and added her as a friend, so they were acquaintances but not particularly close to each other. That was Li Yi’s current opinion of Girl without Underwear.

“I’m an Archer!” Li Yi sent Girl without Underwear a message, requesting to join the party.

“Dark Wing?” Girl without Underwear was slightly stunned.

Girl without Underwear was Li Yi’s in-game friend, so when Li Yi asked to join the party, his name was not hidden.

Girl without Underwear added Li Yi to the party, and he immediately caused a commotion.

“Such a superstar is here at a small 5-man dungeon?”

“I’m not seeing things, am I? That’s Dark Wing?”

“My eyes must be deceiving me, they must be. Oh God, he’s my idol!”

The party that Girl without Underwear led was, without exception, all girls. Li Yi was the only man in there…
