n“Lil Chili’s gone AWOL, this is her sister. What’s sizzling?”

n“I—”

n“Are you brother-in-law? Me and the boys are farming monsters right now. If there isn’t anything else, then we’ll talk later.”

n“Yes. Call your sister to head to my room later with you and we’ll have a glorious threesome.”

n“F*ck off!” Jiaojiao could not withstand his harassment and barked.

nThe alliance channel was out of control. Many felt dubious and bowled over by Huashan’s behavior. None were hospitable.

n“Thank you, Thank you all. I am confident that the union between Huashan and the Iron Alliance will go off with a bang! I am Scumbag Wang. Now where is— ah Dark Wing, grant me a position. Not stressful ones like Castellan or Great General though, maybe one of the National Guards?”

n“Leader Scum, you’d take no effort as King.”

n“Of course! Our leader will quake the earth with a mere flick of the finger. The sky’s the limit.”

nScumbag Wang and his eight hundred subordinates were exuberant. Their overweening rigmaroles in the alliance channel left the members of Iron Alliance nonplussed.

nRegardless of whether Li Yi was unhappy with the outcome, the Huashan Sect had joined the Iron Alliance. He could opt to expel all of them, but it would smear the Iron Alliance’s reputation. Also, this was Jiaojiao’s decision. To go against it was to go against her.

nLi Yi mulled and hatched a plan. He bestowed on Scumbang Wang the title of National Guard and forced the entire Huashan Guild into a channel exclusive to alliance leaders. As a result, all the members of Huashan Guild were barred from speaking in public channels and only Scumbag Wang was allowed the privilege due to his elite post as National Guard.

nThe world was back into a serene stasis.

nScumbang Wang was not bothered. After exchanging civilities, he went to recite the rules of the Iron Alliance with his fellow members.

nLi Yi cracked up as the exclusive channel echoed with voices of Scumbang Wang reading aloud.

nThe future of this union was uncertain. All he could do at this moment was to advance with caution.

nPlop!

nAnother green-skinned demon had fallen under Li Yi’s marksmanship.

nBoom!

nThe green-skinned demon dropped a nine-slot item, along with ten other equipment and materials.

nThe frequency of a critical drop happening was few and far between. A critical drop was indiscriminate and non-selective in the Foreignland. There was a low chance that it would happen to bosses and low-level monsters alike. If it did happen, it would drop the maximum number of loot each monster could have notwithstanding the number of participants.

nAlbeit demonic monsterlings would only drop white and blue-colored equipment. The sheer number of items dropped filled him with tremendous satisfaction.

nLi Yi looted all of them.

nAny equipment dropped by monsters in the Foreignland would have a chance of having the Holy attribute. Materials in said land could serve some purpose too. There was no junk in the Foreignland, each had their own use.

nDing!

nLi Yi picked up a stone which was coal black. He was amazed by the System Notification.

nObtained the Sixth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment.

nThe Sixth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment, dropped by a lowly minion?

nLi Yi gazed at the sable stone in his hand in astonishment.

nThe Sixth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment

nMax HP 50000

nMax MP 30000

nRare item drop rate 3%

nNote: Not required to be equipped. Effect will automatically activate in player’s backpack.

nI will be filthy rich!

nLi Yi nearly squealed in delight after reading the attributes.

nIncreasing Max HP by 50000 points and Max MP by 30000 points. Li Yi was taken aback with extreme pleasure.

nMonsters like this could drop a Sacramental Stone Fragment?

nLi Yi senselessly stood in the same place for a long time before he realized it.

nThe other Sacramental Stone Fragments Li Yi carried with him had 3% increase in rare item drop rate. However, the other attributes caught his attention so much that the drop rate buff was entirely ignored.

nThe fact that monsterlings could drop a Sacramental Stone Fragment obviously had something to do with that attribute.

nFirst, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, tenth. There were ten pieces of Sacramental Stone Fragments in total, and Li Yi had seven.

nThe Sacramental Stone Fragments were not just any items. Opinions varied as to how they would drop. Miss Jiao got her hands on one inadvertently during a random quest. A World Boss which Little Elf from the Magical Realm defeated also dropped a piece. Examples like killing monsters, completing quests, harvesting, mining, and the list was by no means exhaustive. All of which might result in receiving Sacramental Stone Fragments.

nLi Yi had been collecting them since time immemorial. He was curious about what would happen once they were united.

nIn his past life, King of Pantheon had been up and running for eight years but no one had collected them all. Even the most powerful, the pseudo divine ‘Innocent Little Virgin Boy’ who ranked eighth in the God Wars, was short of two fragments.

nThe fragments were special support type items, so there was no need to equip them. One would only need them in the backpack for them to take effect. There was however a downside to it. Any character who died would drop these fragments despite any ‘special circumstances.

nThe Second and Tenth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragments each granted a 50% reduction in the probability of dropping items in the event of death. With both of them, one would not drop any equipment or items, except the stone fragments.

nLi Yi was over the moon about the Sixth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment for quite some time before it came to mind that other pieces of equipment were still on the ground.

nThe critical drop was a godsend to Li Yi. Besides the Sixth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment, there were seven other pieces of trash Holy Equipment.

nIt was way more than what he could get via farming monsters in the past three days.

nLi Yi took all of them. He grabbed his orange bow in his hand and continued scouting for monsterlings.

nThe surrounding minions were cleared by him. Demonic monsterlings had thick skins which were hard to beat. However, their respawn rate was so long that it often took three to five hours. There would be a long interval between killing and respawning.

nLi Yi walked for about five minutes but saw no monsters. He felt disconcerted.

nThe location was indisputably the depths of the Demonic Forest.

nHow could it be? That there were no monsters in the proximity?

nLi Yi was perplexed and continued his search. In the blink of an eye, another five minutes passed. There was nil, zilch, nothing, until a gleaming piece of equipment on the ground in the distance halted his strides.

nLi Yi stepped forward to pick up the equipment, inspected its attributes, and left it.

nA non-Holy level 50 garbage white-colored equipment, its price between ten and fifty Copper Coins. No one but the Black-hearted Chick would take it.

nStaring at the white-colored garbage on the ground, he frowned.

nThis made no sense. The Foreignland was a high-level map, the worst monster was at least level 100. How on earth could there be a level 50 garbage? Monsters definitely did not drop them, and one would not even find something like this in the emporiums of Karan City.

nWere there other players?

nLi Yi’s eyes narrowed.

nA level 50 garbage could not appear here for no apparent reason unless someone left it there. Li Yi could not think of other possibilities.

nLi Yi carried on, and it was not long before he found more clues.

nThere was another discarded equipment on the ground, but this time it was not a level 50 equipment, but a non-Holy level 100 white-colored equipment possibly dropped by monsterlings.

nThere were other players.

nThis time Li Yi was certain.

nAfter carefully examining the surroundings, his heart sank.

nSh*t, how could it be here?

nThe woods in front of him, it was the place where Li Yi had killed Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. He did not expect his return.

nCould it be that Tyrant Sword King the Fifth resurrected on the spot?

nLi Yi suddenly thought of a possibility. He promptly took out the Divine Looking Glass and searched ‘Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’.

nTyrant Sword King the Fifth was not a Territory player, hence he was within the reach of the Divine Looking Glass.

nThe Glass glittered, revealing the information of Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.

nTyrant Sword King the Fifth, Level: 105, HP: 112456, Target location: 797 steps forward.

n“Is that him?”

nThe answer from the Glass left Li Yi puzzled.

nWhile Tyrant Sword King the Fifth still could not use Territory Power, he remained a force to be reckoned with. However, with his current strength, could he prevail in the face of surly demonic monsterlings?

nThat would not seem to be possible.

nEven Li Yi would take ten to twenty minutes to down a demonic monsterling.

nLi Yi had Territory Power, and Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had none.

nDid his Holy attribute reach beyond 50 points?

nThat would be even more unfeasible. If he did, he and Li Yi would be on even ground. No one would lose for sure.

nThere were no demonic monsterlings in the vicinity, which might mean that they were all killed by Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, a much more unrealistic prospect.

nDid he have company?

nLi Yi thought.

nLi Yi held the Divine Looking Glass and ran towards the direction of Tyrant Sword King.

nAfter 700 paces, Li Yi searched the latter’s name again.

nTyrant Sword King the Fifth, Level: 105, HP: 112356, Target location: 397 steps leftwards.

nHe was on the move. Li Yi still could not notice any monsters nearby.

nSprinting 300 steps to the left, Li Yi entered the search entry once more.

nTyrant Sword King the Fifth, Level: 106, HP: 113359, Target location: 217 steps forward.

n“Damn he’s fast!”

nLi Yi cursed and activated his Rocket Propellant, launching himself forward in a whirl of feverish haste.
