n“Looking for someone to shoot cannons. Please PM if you can hit 2000 . For serious inquiries only.”

nLi Yi was just done with a city-patrolling quest when he saw this advertisement at the entrance of the Auction House.

nThis was not some sexual advertisement. 1 In Reality, many players that wished to break Heart of the Fire’s combo record loved to recruit party members this way.

nLi Yi had the intention to find someone to attempt the combo so the moment he saw this ad, he immediately PM-ed.

n“5000 combo.”

nThe other party was silent briefly before responding, “5000 ? How many of you?”

n“1.”

nThe other party was quiet once again without replying any further.

n“?” Li Yi sent a question mark.

n“For serious inquiries only. Go away, you bluff! You’re blacklisted,” The other party replied and put Li Yi in his blacklist.

nLi Yi was at a loss for words.

nHonestly speaking, it did not matter if he refused to believe. Sigh…

n“Seeking one to fire cannon. Please PM if combo is 3000 . For serious inquiries only.”

nLi Yi placed an ad at the entrance of the Auction House and headed straight to Pinnacles of the Fire.

nSeeing that most of his friends’ list were lit up, Li Yi paced in a hurry, sending a group message.

n“Any time to clear Heart of the Fire? Please reply if available.”

n“Me!”

n“Me!”

nTwo of them replied the fastest.

nLi Yi was momentarily stunned before adding them to the party.

nBoth of them were Fire Ice and Moonlight Ocean.

n“I’m leveling at Fire Nest.”

n“I really can’t find the time, I’m really sorry about that,” Old Li Flying Dagger replied.

nAs the current No. 1 of the ranking board, Old Li Flying Dagger really lived up to the name of leveling freak. His current level has surpassed Li Yi to a staggering Level 21.

nOld Li Flying Dagger did not have the time, neither were Holy Pure Eh’s Knights. It could not be helped. It was officially clearing path season. Large guilds and even small guilds moved collectively. With their schedules packed, there was absolutely no time to clear 5-persons Instance Dungeons.

nMoonlight Ocean was the first to arrive, standing with Li Yi in front of the meeting rock and recruiting people.

n“How advanced, I don’t need to run around myself,” Fire Ice was as curious as a fish as she rounded the meeting rock.

nChen Yang was not online. The party currently required another two players. Just as Li Yi was trying to make up his mind whether to add a random player, he received a PM from a stranger.

n“C’mon, you have already bluffed me.

n“Why did you publish the same advertisement as mine?

n“Why are you against me?”

n“I was speaking the truth, when did I bluff you?

n“Moreover, my advertisement is different from yours.

n“I’m talking about 3000 combo while yours is 2000 .

n“The difference is huge.”

n“You… are despicable, low dirtbag!”

nThe other party sent over a bunch of words in rage. It seemed he was about to blacklist Li Yi again.

n“If you refuse to believe, we could party up and try. Heart of the Fire Dungeon can be cleared once every 24 hours, even if I sabotaged your cooldown, it doesn’t really matter, right?”

nThe other party was quiet for quite a while before agreeing to Li Yi’s point.

n“Okay, I will believe your words for now but there’s one thing though, we have two here so searching for the remaining two porters will be on you.”

n“No problem!”

nLi Yi sent a party request to the party.

nZimu Wutong has joined the party…

nA girl?

nLi Yi was surprised.

nHe would not have thought that such a domineering ad would be from a girl…

nIt was not long when Zimu Wutong arrived with her friend. Seeing the two standing before him, Li Yi could not be happier.

nZimu Wutong was a brunette with twintails around thirteen to fourteen years of age. Her face displayed a complexion of arrogance. Her chest, slightly bulging out. She was a young girl that was not yet a woman.

nHer friend was older but no more than sixteen years of age. Her appearance was similar to hers. Her name was Qingshui Wutong.

n“Can you really hit 5000 combo?” Zimu Wutong stared at Li Yi and called his statement into question.

nLi Yi helplessly answered, “There’s no point speaking more about it. You’ll know once we enter.”

n“Okay, as long as you can hit 2000 but if you can’t, humph, I will spam you for ten days, uh no, fifteen days in major cities.”

nLi Yi smiled, “It doesn’t even matter if it’s twenty-five days.”

nWhile they were deep in conversation, the five arrived at the entrance of Fire of the Heart Instance Dungeon.

n“I’ll simply distribute the tasks. Moonlight Ocean, Ice, and Qingshui, you’re in charge of transporting the cannon balls while Zimu Wutong and I will be guarding at the side and firing cannons.”

n“No questions? Alright, let’s enter.”

nJust as Li Yi was about to set foot into the Instance Dungeon, he stopped.

nHe saw two familiar figures.

nMad Dragon and Infinite Insanity!

nThese two were not famous in the present, but in the future not too long later, their names would be known everywhere as Mad God, Castellan of Shattered Frost City and Insane Sage, Overlord of Battle Wind Fortress!

nLi Yi was not excited over seeing celebrities of his past lives but rather, he was curious about Platinum Hand, the organization Mad God and Insane Sage currently belonged to.

nPlatinum Hand was disbanded over unknown reasons. Mad God and Insane Sage were both respectively recruited by other guilds. If it were not because they were angered by Ye Yingbing being hunted down, no one would have known they were both from Platinum Hand, the legendary organization.

nAt the later stages of the game, Mad God and Insane Sage became sworn enemies, erupting battles, taking turns in ambushing, laying siege battles, racial battles. It was as though if the other was not defeated, they would not stop… That huge grudge could not be comprehended by outsiders.

nThe grudge between the two remained a mystery until the Ye Yingbing matter arose that everyone had a glimpse of a clue. Everyone still did not have a grasp on the reason why the relationship between the two legendary characters came to this stage. It was a shame they remained mum and turned a deaf ear while facing with the public’s assumptions.

nMad Dragon and Infinite Insanity walked into the Instance Dungeon with chatter and laughter, joining them were another three.

nThey must be from Platinum Hand. One by one, Li Yi memorized their facial features.

n“Platinum Hand, let’s have a go and see who is the first to the prize title.”

nLi Yi was not the least bit happy when he lost to them by ten seconds the last time. This time, seeing Platinum Hand entering the same Instance Dungeon reeled out his competitiveness.

nTime to go all out!

nLi Yi brought along the four females and cleared the Fire Dwarfs at ease, reaching the barbette the soonest.

n“Bang! Bang!”

nZimu Wutong grabbed ahold of the cannon and her two blows achieved 170 combo.

n“Not bad!”

nLi Yi was delighted. He who was now competitive, was afraid of others dragging him down but seeing Zimu opening fire had him at rest.

nMoonlight Ocean transported cannon balls in extreme velocity. Although the Thief class was not good at carrying heavy loads but their agility was the highest among all classes.

n“Qingshui, you’re with Zimu.”

n“Ice, you’re with me.”

n“Ocean, you’ll be helping both sides!”

n“Bang!”

nLi Yi’s cannon rumbled and the combo went straight to 265!

n“Bang!”

n“Bang!”

nThe two fired the cannon one after the other. The smooth coordination between them had Li Yi pleasantly surprised.

nZimu Wutong was not that bad!

n“Not bad. Carry on and you’ll be able to keep up with big sis, me.” Zimu Wutong was satisfied with Li Yi.

nLi Yi was rendered speechless…

nShe was only fourteen or fifteen and yet she wanted to be somebody’s big sis. She really was domineering.

nBut Li Yi was not in the mood to waste his breath with her. As the cannon combo grew higher so did the difficulty. One mistimed hit could lead to the disruption of this combo.

n“Bang!”

nOnce the combo reached 3487, Zimu Wutong became flustered and fired two cannons at random. She was at inches from breaking the combo.

nFortunately, there was a powerful cannon-shooting leader in the party. He turned to fire two cannons, continuing Zimu Wutong’s combo.

n“Don’t be greedy.

n“You only need to do one thing now.

n“Don’t let your cannon balls come to nothing and leave the rest to me.”

n“Humph, how hard can that be? Leave it to big sis, me.”

nZimu Wutong whipped her twintails and blew at the Fire Dwarfs army.

n“Bang!”

n“Wham!”

nThe cannonball was an accurate hit but the barbette overheated from continuous use and expanded before exploding.

nZimu Wutong and Qingshui Wutong exploded into the air.

n
