nOnly a handful of players were determined to be Shameless by the system of King of Pantheon. In his past life, Li Yi had never even met one player that could continue playing the game with the title.

nBlack Autumn Love’s fate seemed to have differed from his past life as well. Although her character remained unchanged in this present life, Li Yi remembered clearly that she never received the Shameless title in his past life.

n“I was cheated by the unscrupulous merchants in the Auction House. They came to me and asked me to invest in a huge business, but I never dreamt that it would be a trap. Initially, they gave me some sweet returns, but in the end… In the end, I’ve lost everything.”

n“I have debts to so many people. When they chased me for money, I no longer had any money to repay their debts. Where could I get the money? Then, they went to complain to the system. There were probably too many people complaining about me, so my title slowly became what it is today.”

n“Brother Dark Wing, I’m honestly not lying. I’m truly bankrupt now, and I’m completely broke…”

nAutumn Love cried with extreme sorrow. Li Yi shook his head and did not speak, but he thought to himself, ‘Even though there were some differences between the past life and the current life, but that old saying still suited Autumn Love the best!’

nA man whose heart is not content is like a snake which tries to swallow an elephant. 1

nThe unscrupulous merchants would not trap her if she did not behave so shadily in her dealings, no? Were it not for her greed, she would have never burrowed herself further into the trap, no?

nIn the end, the only person that she could blame for her predicament was herself.

n“With this title that prohibits you from trading with anyone, why are you still picking up rubbish? Are they even useful?”

n“Boohoo…” Autumn Love cried.

n“You should just delete your account and start over. With that brain of yours, it won’t be too much of a problem to earn money again, right?”

nAutumn Love somehow managed to cry even harder than before.

n“Stop, stop, stop! What are you crying for? Hold it back!”

nAutumn Love sobbed, “Do you think I don’t want to start a new account? I’ve tried it before. Even with a Level 1 alt account, I still have the Shameless title above my head. The title is bound to my account. It doesn’t matter if I were to start a new one.”

n“Then there’s no other option but to wait. With time, you might be able to gradually remove the title from your account.”

nAutumn Love’s eyes brightened. “Will I be able to remove the title with time?”

n“Probably. You’ll definitely be able to get rid of that title in around 8 to 10 years.”

n“I can’t wait that long; I can’t go without money! Brother Dark Wing, you must have a way to help me, right?” Autumn Love gazed at Li Yi with her face full of hope.

n“I’m not a Game Master, what method would I have that could help you? By the way, are you sure that you received the Shameless title purely because of deceit from those unscrupulous merchants?”

n“Of course, I swear to the heavens.” Autumn Love raised two of her fingers.

nBoom!

nA loud boom of thunder was heard from the skies, giving Autumn Love such a bad shock that she hugged her head with both of her hands and hid between Li Yi’s arms.

nLi Yi sighed, “You’re still lying, even the system is unwilling to stand by and watch.”

nAutumn Love stammered, “I… I…, Of course, I wouldn’t just let it be after I was tricked. I… I’ve only gone and tricked a few more innocent people. That’s why I’m here.”

n“A few innocent people? You’ve probably tricked over tens of thousands of innocent people, right?”

n“How did you know?”

nAutumn Love blurted out, her delicate face flushing an embarrassing shade of red.

n‘How would I know? I used to trick many people in my past life. It’s just that I’m luckier than you are in that I didn’t get the title of Shameless. Instead, I got the Vile Rascal title…’

nOf course, there was no way that Li Yi would tell her that.

nThe Glacier Giants respawned again. Li Yi took his bow and summoned his Holy Light Warhorse to seek them out.

n“Brother Dark Wing, don’t leave me here. Wait up!”

nAutumn Love rode on the little white horse given complimentary by the system, trailing right behind Li Yi.

nEven though Autumn Love was filthy rich, she was also very stingy. Although she was already Level 100, she did not even purchase and possess a mount that looked decent. She was still using the trash mount that was complimentary from the system.

n“Brother Dark Wing, you must’ve got some way to help me, right? Right?”

n“I have no idea how can to help you, and you can stop following me already. Since you can no longer enter transactions, there’s no use getting so much loot. You won’t be able to change it into money either way.”

nA group of Glacier Giants appeared in front of them. Li Yi shot an arrow and changed the course of his horse to gallop towards the right, leaving Autumn Love on the left. The speed of her mount was too slow, and Li Yi had no intentions to bring death upon her.

nDozens of Glacier Giants roared at Li Yi. Li Yi whipped his horse and sprinted forward before dismounting from the horse to start building for his Powered-up Arrow. He could not use skills like the Powered-up Arrow while he was on horseback. If he wanted to use the skill, he had no other choice but to Dismiss the mount.

nTch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrr!

nA Quintuple Powered-up Arrow was shot. In an instant, it shot through the dozens of Glacier Giants, causing all of them to collapse from a single shot.

n“That’s amazing!”

nAutumn Love gasped in admiration. Then, she took out her small skinning knife and quickly ran towards them.

n“Stop! I haven’t looted my share. Stand back!”

nLi Yi activated his Territory light barrier, causing Autumn Love’s body to freeze in time. Then, he leisurely walked forward and looted the corpses one by one.

n“Didn’t you come here to farm for EXP? Why are you still looting? Could it be that you’re looking for Ice Soul Beads?”

n“Hm?”

nLi Yi stood and looked at Autumn Love with utter curiosity, who was still stopped in time, almost unmoving.

n“You know about Ice Soul Beads?”

nAutumn Love giggled, “I’m a professional merchant after all. I know a thing or two about Ice Soul Beads.”

n“Then tell me, what are the uses of Ice Soul Beads?”

n“It has a multitude of uses and can be used to make weapons, defense equipment, or accessories. However, Brother Dark Wing, you probably don’t want them to make weapons or defense equipment. If I’m not wrong, I’m guessing that you’re getting it to make some sort of scroll, am I right?” Autumn Love winked at Li Yi.

nLi Yi stared at Black Autumn in astonishment. This time, he was really stunned by this Black lady.

n“How do you know that Ice Soul Beads could be used to make scrolls?”

n“I just took a wild guess, haha.”

nEven though Black Autumn did not offer an explanation, it did not matter. Li Yi understood after giving it some thought. “I’d almost forgotten that you have another identity. You’re a closed beta player.”

nAutumn Love was on the closed beta name list that was announced by the Pantheon officials. On top of that, the parts that she was involved in the closed beta was quite uncommon. She was involved in adjusting the price of items and testing the Auction House, among others.

nAutumn Love chuckled and openly admitted to it. “The Ice Soul Beads were just a Level 50 material during the closed beta. It’s true that my closed beta qualifications only lasted until Level 60. The Pantheon officials did not lie about that.”

n“This is strange. If you’re a closed beta player, can’t you utilize this identity of yours to ask the Pantheon officials to remove the Shameless title?”

n“After the closed beta ended, all closed beta players get the same treatment as any other players. Don’t you think I would go to them if that were not the case? Those d*mned Pantheon officials… D*mn them all!”

nLi Yi laughs. “If you weren’t so greedy, you wouldn’t be trapped in this predicament. Thus, you have no one else to blame but yourself.”

nAutumn Love snorted, looking very indignant. It was obvious that she did not see eye to eye with Li Yi on that point.

n“Brother Dark Wing, I know of a place that produces at least a few dozen Ice Soul Beads after clearing each round. Are you interested to go there?”

nAutumn Love blinked and grinned at Li Yi.

n“There are no free lunches in the world. You will definitely list out some conditions if I were to ask you to tell me where it is, right? If you want me to help you remove the Shameless title, I must apologize and tell you that I do not have the power to do so.”

nDisappointment flashed across Autumn Love’s as she smiled bitterly and shook her head. “It’s not that…”

n“Then tell me, what can I offer in exchange for your information?”

n“My condition is simple.”

nAutumn Love took a few steps back and took out her Backpack. Then, she opened and shook it above the ground.

nDensely packed materials that stacked up like mountains appeared before Li Yi. Fur, bones, blood, and meat, a myriad of species were present in the pile. Li Yi could not help but be amazed by that.

nMy god, how many corpses did she dismantle to get so many materials?

n“I can’t trade with anybody, but I can throw these materials on the ground. As long as you help me to sell these off and transfer the income to a specified account of mine, then you would’ve fulfilled my condition.”

nLi Yi paused. “Is that it?”

n“Mhmm…”

nIt was so weird to see Black Autumn not behaving in a shady way. Li Yi stared at Autumn Love for a long while before nodding in agreement.

n“No problem. Just give me an estimation of the value of all these materials.”

nAutumn Love’s eyes brightened at that. She then pointed to the materials on the ground and started to blabber non-stop, “A set of the fur of a low-level monster costs 20 silvers, a set of the fur of a middle-level monster costs 50 silvers, while high-level fur is slightly more expensive, costing 1 gold per set. The bone powder of low-level monsters are 10 silvers, middle-level monsters are…”

nLi Yi listened for a whole 5 minutes and realized that Autumn Love showed no signs of stopping. She was still calculating the value of each material.

n“Stop, stop, stop, stop… Just tell me how much does this entire pile of materials costs.”

n“If we were to take everything into the calculation, this will be 10 plus 3 plus 2 plus 67 plus 78…”

nAutumn Love continued with her calculations. After a while, she finally extended her hands to Li Yi.

n“All of this costs 5721 Gold Coins, 5 Silver Coins, and 30 Copper Coins. Nothing more, nothing less.”

nWhat a highly accurate account…

nLi Yi gasped, “How long did it take you to get such a big pile of materials?”

n“Around half a month.”

n“Tell me that account, I’ll send you the Gold Coins immediately. 5000 Gold Coins, right? Stop stop stop, don’t be anxious, don’t be agitated. I’m not going to gobble up the spare change. I’ll transfer you 10,000 Gold Coins. Is that okay?”

n“10,000 Gold Coins!” Autumn Love smiled and nodded furiously. “Of course it’s okay, of course it’s okay.”

nAfter that, Autumn Love gave him an account ID named ‘Winter Dong Dong Dong’. 1

n“Keep these materials to yourself, I don’t want them. Consider that 10,000 Gold Coins as me buying the information from you.”

nAutumn Love’s eyes reddened. “Brother Dark Wing, you’re such a good man.”

nInitially, Li Yi thought that the Black gal would collect all of the materials on the ground immediately. However, he was wrong. He had underestimated Black Autumn.

n“If that’s the case, please help me sell these materials off too, Brother Dark Wing. I don’t mind how much they are sold for. Just transfer the money to that Winter account afterwards.”

nLi Yi was dumbfounded.

n“The entire point of me giving you the money was because I don’t want to help you sell these materials off. If you don’t keep these quickly, I’ll destroy them right here.”

n“Don’t… Don’t… I’ll keep them immediately. Immediately! Just one minute!”

nAutumn Love crouched over the materials, protecting them with her arms outstretched like an old mother hen. She stuffed all of them into her Backpack as if her life depended on it…
