n“There’s 1,500,000 in this card, these are the guild transfer fees that Chu Tiange asked me to give you. Also, after you transfer guilds, we’ll give you a monthly salary of 200,000 with a separate commission.”

nDelicately Cute took out an LED card and handed it to Li Yi.

n“It’s not about the money. The problem is I’m afraid I can’t help Guild Master Chu very much.” Li Yi shook his head, saying, “I admit that I’m better at the game than other people, but I’m no Superman, I’m just a regular gamer. Mr. Chu’s sincerity is very touching, but unfortunately, I know what I’m capable and incapable of better than anyone else. Sorry, but I can’t help.”

nIf he accepted their money, he would have to work for them. That was something Li Yi came to understand a long time ago. That was why Li Yi had not accepted a single cent when he was in the Dark Empire, all so that he would not owe anyone anything.

n“We had no choice but to make you leave the guild. It was the Star Fire Guild Master, Fallen Star…”

n“Fallen Star’s real name is Yang Xingchen 1 , and he’s the only son of the Jialeyuan Group. All of the Chu family’s business ventures are related to them, so you can’t offend him. Am I right, Miss Delicate?”

n“How… how do you know that?” Delicate looked at Li Yi, surprised.

n“Yang Xingchen is always posting his latest pictures on the Pantheon official site, stuff like his newest racecar or newest girl. How could a player like me, who visits the official site often, not know?”

nDelicate shook her head. “No, what I meant was, how do you know about the relationship between the Chu family and the Yang family?”

nLi Yi sighed. “Chu Nan is my classmate. We’re so close that we keep no secrets from each other.”

n“No wonder…” It was a revelation to Delicate.

nLi Yi’s relationship with Chu Nan was only average at best. The reason he would say that was to keep Delicate from misunderstanding anything.

n“Brother Tian has his mind completely made up this time. He told me that as long as you agree to return to us, he can push aside anything in our way, including Yang Xingchen.”

n“Miss Delicate, save your breath. I won’t leave my guild.”

n“Does that Invincible Jiaojiao really attract you that much?”

nLi Yi shrugged. “Say it however you will. I don’t feel like explaining myself.

n“Sorry, Miss Delicate, I’ll be heading back now.”

nLi Yi walked out of the private room.

n…

nLi Yi tossed a few pieces of the equipment that they had obtained from Molten Furnace into the guild inventory and auctioned off everything else at the Auction House.

nThe nine pieces of equipment netted him a total of 50,000 Gold Coins.

nHe used the piles of Gold Coins on his Apothecary, and now Li Yi’s Apothecary Mastery had reached 3,321

/10,000 in the Intermediate Level.

nIt grew more difficult the higher up he went. By now, creating Fury Potions would not give Li Yi any more mastery points, and the formula he needed for the next level was not available at the Auction House. It had been several days since his mastery last increased.

nEven if it did not add to his mastery, he still had to continue refining Fury Potions. They provided him with at least several hundred Gold Coins every day. There was no way Li Yi would give that up for no reason.

nAs the saying went, humans feared fame as pigs feared fat. There was absolute truth in that saying because ever since the Little Drunk Cat Guild made their name with one battle, the other powers had never stopped harassing them.

nThe two guilds, Century Flower and Huashan, were in a class of their own. They always warred and killed each other, but they would be back on good terms within a few days.

nCase in point, as soon as they saw that the Little Drunk Cat Guild was coming up, the two guilds joined forces once more, declaring that they would kill any members of the Little Drunk Cat Guild on sight and they would not stop until the guild disbanded.

nHowever, their best-laid plans were not to come true this time.

nAlthough the Little Drunk Cat Guild was currently a spectacular mess that consisted of an unruly flock, it was still hard to beat four hands with two fists, and sometimes there was just no beating a difference in numbers. The Century Flower and Huashan guilds only had slightly over 1000 members in total, but Little Drunk Cat had more than 5000.

nThe battle between the two sides barely lasted a couple days before Century Flower and Huashan stopped. They simply could not afford to continue fighting. Little Drunk Cat had too many members, so as soon as you stop one of them, a bunch would come surging at you. Rather than camping others, they were the ones being camped, and the losses were tremendous.

n“Kill, kill anyone from Century Flower and Huashan on sight!” Chen Yang gave his orders.

nThe two guilds, Century Flower and Huashan, were instantly in for a bad time. The members that truly wanted to join the Little Drunk Cat Guild had been waiting all this time for a chance to strut their stuff. After all, the core members and peripheral members had vastly different benefits, as different as night and day. If they did not get some results, when would they be able to become a core member?

nThey killed and did not stop even when their names turned red from the killing. Hua Feiwu gave up after three days and personally asked Li Yi for a truce, but Li Yi rejected him.

n“I’m not the one who gave that order, I’m just a regular member now. The Guild Master is Tall and Mighty, you should go ask him.”

nHua Feiwu could not be sure if Li Yi was telling the truth or not, but right now he had no other choice. He had to bring down his ego and go plead Chen Yang.

nIn the end, the matter was solved amicably. Chen Yang shook hands with Hua Feiwu, full of smiles, and the three guilds stopped warring.

nLi Yi gained 200,000 more Gold Coins in his account, as well as a message from Chen Yang that said, “Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. The only problem is the guy’s just too poor, we can’t squeeze much out of him.”

nNaturally, the truce was Li Yi’s idea. Little Drunk Cat was just beginning to rise, and if they were to engage in a deathmatch with the other side now, they would suffer losses as well. The best options would be to develop themselves as steadily as possible.

nIt seemed as though Li Yi did not interfere with any of the guild’s matters, but in truth, as soon as any new member joined, he would definitely pay some attention to them. If he recognized any of them as the crazy powerful celebrities from the past life, he would immediately note them down and pass the name list to Chen Yang, telling Chen Yang to raise these people secretly.

nChen Yang had carried that super capable Great Commander from the past life, Pretty Good Mood, up to Level 20, scolding him as he carried him until Pretty Good Mood finally had an epiphany at Level 20. By now he could carry a five-man dungeon, and his commanding was getting rather formidable. At this rate, he would probably evolve into that amazing Great Commander again in no time.

nOne Big Bun had also picked up some Decomposition Skills, and everyone who had run any dungeons with them was already starting to resent him. History’s most wasteful Decomposition Master was slowly growing into his own.

nNowadays, Li Yi seldom went to the large-sized dungeons. Every day, he would go around harvesting herbs, and whenever he had the chance, he would go beat the world bosses.

nSince there was a dire shortage of Ebony Cane, Li Yi went to the Barren Land most often. However, he never defeated the Barren Lord.

nThe Barren Lord had been booked by the Dream Guild. Ever since Li Yi taught Shangguan Bailu how to defeat it last time, the people from Dream Guild would immediately appear as soon as it respawned and defeat it instantly.

nLi Yi could only express his helplessness at this, but after he gave it some thought, he quickly let it go. He owed them too much in the past life, so what did it matter if he paid them back in this life?

nLi Yi ran through the Barren Land expertly. Now that he had learned Pseudocide and Camouflage, the giant barren monsters were nothing to him.

n“Brother Hua, it’s all up to you to avenge our brothers now.”

nWhen Li Yi was harvesting Ebony Canes, he heard a familiar, scummy voice in the distance.

n‘Scumbag Wang? What was he doing here?’

nLi Yi was currently at Level 29, but his friend Scumbag Wang here was only slightly over Level 20. Since he had lost so much EXP just from his constant dying, it was rather miraculous that he could maintain himself at such a level in the first place.

nLi Yi followed the voice and used Camouflage to hide when he approached them.

nScumbag Wang and Hua Feiwu were sitting together on a jutting rock, conversing in whispers.

n“Don’t worry, the Savage Tribe is helping us this time. Getting revenge for you will be a cinch. F*ck, if it weren’t for the fact that we incurred heavy losses from our deathmatch with those Little Drunk Cat idiots a few days back, we’d be able to finish off those Dream morons even without the help of the Savage Tribe.”

n“He asked us to attack Little Drunk Cat, but that sunnavabitch Yang Xingchen only gave us 100,000. Imma f*ck his woman, he really treats us like idiots.”

n“I gave Little Drunk Cat 70,000 to settle things. Hehe, hiring the Savage Tribe does not cost money either, so we earned 30,000 just like that.”

n“Brilliant, Brother Hua, you sure got a good older sister. Hahahahacka— Why are you looking at me like that, Brother Hua? Do I have a flower on my face?”

n“Brother Wang, how many goddamn times have I told you, could you just… not bring up my sister all the time?” Hua Feiwu’s expression was extremely ugly.

n“Fine, fine, I won’t mention her anymore. Blame this mouth of mine.” Scumbag Wang put on a show of smacking his little mouth, but when he turned around, he swore beneath his breath, saying, Imma smash your sis in her fat *ss.

nScumbag Wang did not say it particularly loudly, but it was not particularly soft either. Standing beside them, Li Yi could hear him perfectly clearly, and naturally so could Hua Feiwu.

nHua Feiwu was so angry that his whole body shook, and he came close to attacking Scumbag Wang. However, he gave it some thought and took a deep breath, allowing his feelings to settle and pretending he had not heard it.

nNext to them, Li Yi heard it loud and clear. He thought in his heart that this Scumbag Wang truly was a renowned piece of scum, and it could not have been easy to stick with him for so long.

nHua Feiwu was a cunning one as well. He had clearly only given Chen Yang 30,000 Gold Coins under the table, but he purposely said it was 70,000. It looked like he was planning to keep the remaining money for himself.

nAfter about a dozen minutes, the members of Century Flower and Huashan began to gather here.

nThey were unlike Li Yi. Li Yi had used his skills to run all the way here unharmed, but they had died their way here, rolling down here…

nAn Ox-headed Warrior from Huashan ran up to Scumbag Wang and saluted him with a “smack'”. “Leader Scum, our brothers dropped two levels but we successfully got here. Please give us our orders!”

n“You’ve worked hard, brothers.” Scumbag Wang patted the Ox-headed Warrior’s shoulder.

nThe Ox-headed Warrior waved a hand behind him and immediately, the whole group roared, “There is no such thing as failure to Huashan!”

nLi Yi nearly choked with laughter. What was this? It was true after all, a leader always attracts similar followers…

nThe members of Century Flower and Huashan had all arrived, and there were almost a thousand of them in total. They were closely followed by a group of Orc players, about 400 in all, each of them glittering with gold. These players clearly had rather decent equipment.

nThese people formed the unique mercenary group within King of Pantheon, the Savage Tribe.

nAs long as you had the money, you could get these savages to do anything for you. That included assassinations, dungeons, even building a guild or carrying you through missions. There was nothing they would not do, making them extremely holistic.

n“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

nThe Savage Tribe had fought their way here, clearing out all the smaller monsters. Although quite a few of them died as well, they were much better off than Century Flower or Huashan.

nScumbag Wang looked around. “Where’s Old Green? Why isn’t he here?”

nHua Feiwu said in a huff, “He got involved with a retarded Warrior, the two of them have been fighting for three days and three nights. Nothing we say can convince them to stop, they’re still f*cking at it.”

n“We don’t have to wait for him, let’s go!”

n“It’s best if Old Green isn’t here. Whenever he’s around, hell, even I get the shivers.” Scumbag Wang, who had died to Old Green countless times, was still haunted by those memories.

nAs soon as Hua Feiwu and the others were out of sight, Li Yi sent Shangguan Bailu a message through the Stranger Channel.
