nThe secret boss of Glory was designated as a ‘pet’ by the official forum. Due to this, it was a given that its abilities would not be too far-fetched. Furthermore, it appeared randomly within the Light labyrinth, and as such, there would not be many players who would encounter it. Under normal circumstances, only five to ten players were required to defeat it, provided once they mastered the combat strategy.

nAside from Sister Windcloud Nine, every player in Li Yi’s party was a top-tier player. Though they had suffered some losses initially due to their inexperience, they no longer made any mistakes once they understood the strategy. Once the Light Walls appeared, they would dodge to the branching paths, the forks, and once the robot dog’s aggro shifted, they would bring it back by using ‘Taunt’. In no time at all, they had already brought its HP down to 30%.

nIts ATK had currently risen to around 17,000 per hit, and the value would only exponentially increase as time goes. Fortunately for them, they had the mega healer, Little Elf from the Magical Realm at their side, and as such, it gave Brother Windcloud more than enough time to tank the hits alone.

nBy the time Li Yi’s Orange Quality Bow had begun to overheat, the secret boss, robot dog was already lying dead on the ground.

nAs the first players who achieved the first kill of robot dog, every one of them had received 2 Skill Points as a reward. Besides that, they had also received a vast sum of Gold Coins, Light Pearls, and Darkness Pearls.

nThe System’s red text popped up.

nCongratulations! The Instance Dungeon, Glory is now 100% completed and the Large-sized Epic Instance Dungeon, Conquer has been released. All players, please proceed to Dragonbone Waste to ‘Conquer’ it together.

nRobot dog did not drop any equipment, and the only loot it provided were Light and Darkness Pearls. Every player who participated in the battle would receive them, and their amounts were equal, making every player happy.

nBrother Windcloud Nine was even more fond of Li Yi now. He voluntarily added Li Yi as a friend before leaving the area along with Sister Windcloud Nine.

nJiaojiao checked the rewards with a face full of relief. “Now that we’ve completed Glory, I have almost enough Darkness Pearls to trade in for a Tier 2 Equipment Set.

nLittle Elf from the Magical Realm asked, “Is Conquer’s first kill easy to get?”

nLi Yi looked at Little Elf at the Magical Realm and showed a faint smile. “I should be the one asking you that question.”

n“Ask me?”

n“Yeah, the wise sage 1 has already determined the outcome via various astrological calculations. The one who’s going to get the first kill will be you!”

nLittle Elf from the Magical Realm chuckled at Li Yi’s words. “If your calculations are so accurate, then fine, I declare that I’ll never enter Conquer.”

n“Hahahaha…”

nThe party broke into laughter.

nJiaojiao laughed because she found it funny. However, Li Yi laughed because he knew for a fact that Little Elf from the Magical Realm had really achieved the first kill of Conquer back in his past life.

nGlory’s playstyle could be considered very peculiar, but when compared to Conquer, Glory was extremely plain.

nConquer was a very weird Instance Dungeon. So much so that most players had never considered it a dungeon. As for the reason, it was because there was no concept of ‘parties’ within Conquer. Regardless of skill level, all players could enter it, and it was also given the nickname of ‘Joy for All’. As long as players were brave enough to participate, they would be considered as victors, or better yet, conquerors.

n“Let’s get going, it’s about time for us to log off and take a break.”

nLi Yi informed the party and logged off immediately after.

nOuyang Qian had left the party the moment robot dog was taken down, and currently, only Jiaojiao and Little Elf from the Magical Realm remained in the party.

n“Sister Rong, bye-bye!”

nJiaojiao had logged off as well.

n…

nThat night, while Jiaojiao was using the toilet, Li Yi took the opportunity to trap her within.

n“Pervert! What’re you trying to pull this time? Don’t forget that Fire Ice’s still in the house,” warned Jiaojiao.

n“The last time I asked you, you said you didn’t know the big-chested woman. However, you looked plenty familiar with her just now. What’s the meaning of this? Explain!”

n“Heh, I thought you were gonna r*pe me. If it’s about this, you can open the door.” Jiaojiao had lowered her guard.

nThe both of them walked into the living room, and Jiaojiao explained the story of how she met Qian’er thoroughly.

n“It’s nothing special actually. We met in a forum, we’re pen pals.”

n“What forum?”

nJiaojiao’s face flushed red. “Ahem, it doesn’t matter… it’s just a study forum. Stop asking about it.”

n“How long have you known each other?’

n“Almost a year I guess. However, I’ve only met her in the game recently. Umm, yeah, the encounter on Blade Peak was probably our first.”

n“You’re not hiding anything from me?”

n“I’m really not! Eh? This doesn’t sound right. Why’re you so concerned about Ouyang Qian? Say, have you set her in your sights?”

n“Yep, I sure did. As a true male, it’s only natural for me to like big tiddies.”

nJiaojiao swept her gaze upwards, then downwards, in an attempt to appraise Li Yi. A while later, she snickered, “I think it’s better for you to give it up.”

nJiaojiao stood up, stretched her body, and walked back to her bedroom.

n“And why’s that?”

n“Cause Ouyang Qian’s a lesbian. She only likes females and has no. Interest. At. All. In males!”

nJiaojiao, who was standing beside the door, made a devilish face at Li Yi and walked back into the house.

nLi Yi, who was still in the living room, stroked his jaws, deep in thought.

n…

nLater that night, Li Yi logged back into the game. However, he did not attempt ‘Conquer’. Instead, he went back to Shattered Frost City to raise his affection with Onyxia, and then, he ran back to Sea Island’s Trading Center to search for the Grade 10 cold materials.

nThe Grade 10 cold materials were extremely rare, and while half of it could be obtained via the trade center, the other half could only be obtained via farming. The reason was simple, as most cold materials were imported from the North Pole, and as of this moment, most players had yet to step foot there.

nLi Yi was auctioning the spare equipment he had. The equipment he was using now no longer needed any changes, and as long as King of Pantheon did not raise the level cap, he would continue to use the same equipment.

nThe proceeds of his equipment would be wholly converted into Gold Coins, and while a small portion would be used for materials, the majority of the money would be converted into actual cash…

nHe had way too many Gold Coins on him, and even if he only considered the Gold Coins he received from Brother Windcloud Nine, he could already last for several years.

nLi Yi went through the trade center once, but he had only obtained one Grade 10 cold material. It was majorly disappointing.

nSince he could not procure the materials, Li Yi decided to hunt down his secondary objectives. He began to procure different type of rare mounts.

nThere were multiple varieties of mounts in King of Pantheon. There were ones that could fly in the sky, ones that could run on land, and some could swim underwater. Furthermore, the mounts were not just for aesthetic purposes and they had a wide variety of uses as well. Some could go fast, whereas some had special abilities, and there were even those that could raise their owner’s stats.

nMost of the mounts that Li Yi bought were the ones who could raise their owner’s stats, such as mounts that would raise his STR by 1% or increase his HP by 1%. As soon as he laid eyes on those mounts, he would make sure to get his hands on them, regardless of their price.

nBeautiful mounts were a dime a dozen, and so were the ones that could go fast. However, those that provided additional stats were extremely rare.

nLi Yi went through Sea Island’s Trade Center over and over, but he had yet to find a mount that satisfied his needs.

nIn the end, Li Yi walked up to a stall and stopped.

nThe shabby-looking stall had only one item on display, Tyrone’s Deathcharger.

nUp until now, there was only one Tyrone’s Deathcharger in all of King of Pantheon, and it was the one that had dropped for Li Yi’s party.

nDue to his plain luck that time, Li Yi was unable to obtain the Deathcharger from his rolling. Instead, someone with the name ‘Bird in the Warehouse’ was lucky enough to get it from rolling.

nDespite that, Bird in the Warehouse was also unfortunate in a sense that he had encountered the big cheater who was as notorious as Li Yi in the past life, ‘It’s Me’. As a result, the mount that was originally valued at 3,000,000 Gold Coins had been bought down by It’s Me for only 500 Gold Coins.

nLi Yi squatted down at the stall. After giving it some thought, he contacted the stall’s owner.

n“The price you displayed is too expensive, to think that it costs 10,000,000 Gold Coins. Mate, this mount isn’t worth that much.”

nBeep! Beep!

nThe stall’s owner quickly replied with three words. “Name your price.”

n“1,000,000!”

nThe stall’s owner stayed silent.

n“2,000,000!” Li Yi increased his offer.

nThe stall’s owner still remained silent.

n“3,000,000! I can’t go up any further. I only have so much on me,” said Li Yi as he continued to raise his offer.

n“At least 3,500,000. Friend, this mount is the only one that exists in the entire game. It’s not just eye-catching, but it also carries a special skill and has 10% Dark-resist. It’s very practical, so what’re you hesitating about?”

n“Its appearance isn’t that much different from the exclusive mounts of Dark Paladins though. Its special skill is sorta useful, 10% Dark-resist is just plain trash. After all, who else would equip Dark-resist equipment besides the Dark Paladins? No one else.”

n“Hehe, I couldn’t tell that you were an expert. However, 3,500,000 Gold Coins is really worth it. Tell you a secret, you could even sell this mount for 5,000,000 to the wealthy players.”

n“So why don’t you sell it to them instead?”

n“I’ve already asked a few of them, but it looks like they’ve already had similar mounts.” The stall’s owner answered disappointedly.

nLi Yi dragged back the topic. “3,000,000 Gold Coins! Take it or leave it!”

n“Deal!” The stall’s owner hurriedly replied.

n“So how’re we going to trade?”

n“Let me adjust the price.”

nA while later, the stall’s owner appeared. He was wearing black clothes, had huge eyes, and his smile looked as if he was asking to be punched. He was the big cheater, It’s Me, who had scammed Bird in the Warehouse.

nLi Yi had activated Trickery Ring when he appeared in Sea Island’s Trade Center to change his appearance. After all, his identity would draw too much attention, and should It’s Me know of his true identity, there was a highly likely possibility that he would be too afraid to appear.

nThe man who would never change his appearance, nor levels after ten thousand years, but was armed with countless scamming methods, it was none other than the Legendary Cheater of King of Pantheon — It’s Me.

nCalling him legendary was not intended as praise, but to show that he had scammed way too many players.

nUnlike Li Yi who scammed for vengeance, It’s Me had made scamming a full-time job.

n“Hold on while I store my stall. Once I edit the price, you can purchase it directly.”

nIt’s Me flashed Li Yi a toothy grin, and once he kept away his stall, he swept his gaze across his surroundings. Li Yi also gave It’s Me a casual smile, but he was fully concentrated at his current task and was starting to get tense.

nBack in his past life, he had crossed swords with this big cheater before. However, neither side could get the better of the other, and in the end, they ended in a stalemate. The b*stard had once scammed 200 Gold Coins from Jiaojiao, and for that, Li Yi had permanently etched his name in his heart.

n“You’re a player from the Invincible Continent, eh? Your camp’s pretty strong right now.”

nIt’s Me chatted casually as he began to set up his stall.

n“Yeah, our queen is pretty amazing…”

nLi Yi’s mouth was answering, but in his heart, he was already beginning to make preparations.

n“Hehe, the queen is average I guess. I think Dark Wing’s the amazing one, do you know him?”

nIt’s Me had finished setting up his stall.

nThis time, Li Yi did not answer him. Instead, with the quickest speed possible, he immediately bought Tyrone’s Deathcharger.

nThe trade was done, and it was bought for 300,000 Gold Coins!
