It's the Little Drunk Cats guild again!
First Kill of Llamasden, First Kill of Shakra!
This originally inconspicuous guild kept creating new records time after time, sending the entire Pantheon World into a frenzy.
One success could be considered a coincidence, but what do you call two successes in a row?
It's called potential!
The Death of a King Instance Dungeon that troubled countless guilds was completed just like that. Fire Devil was now directly open to every player, the goal was to allow all players to once again start at the same starting point.
The First Kill reward of 10,000,000 Gold Coins. To certain big guilds, it was no big deal, but 10 skill points to all members was definitely something that any guild would go crazy for.
Skill Points were extremely precious because no matter if you have neverending amounts of money, you still could not hope to buy them, especially when you're late to the game. With just 1 additional Skill Point, it would be enough to tip the tides of the battle, so its' importance was obvious.
"Ancestors, rest in peace…"
Paying his final respects, Karone knelt on the ground by the Dwarf King's corpse.
"Brave heroes, on behalf of the Dwarf Race, I humbly thank all of you for your service." Karone was sobbing as he sincerely bowed down at Li Yi and company.
The rewards for defeating Shakra was very bountiful. Not only did everyone receive 2 Skill Points (1 point for dead players), they also received the unique achievement, Server's First Death of a King. They were awarded one Ironclad Tyrannosaurus Mount each.
50 people, 10 Ironclad Tyrannosaurus Mounts. When everyone summoned their mounts out, they all chuckled as a group.
In actuality, the Ironclad Tyrannosaurus was actually just the Dwarf King's Mount, Dardanelle. The method of getting it was not easy, and only the party members who got the first kill of the dungeon boss would obtain it. As for other people, they only had a 5% chance of looting an Ironclad Tyrannosaurus Mount after they had successfully beaten the boss.
If one was lucky, they would get it on the first try; conversely, if one had bad luck, it would not be a surprise if they still had not gotten it after a couple of years.
The Ironclad Tyrannosaurus Mount had an 80% increase in movement speed and it also gives its master an additional 1% critical rate.
This was quite a legendary mount. Even if one did not ride it, the 1% additional critical rate turned it into one of every BAMF's must-have mounts.
"Screenshot, screenshot. Come come, everyone do stand in front of the Guild Master. Commander, stand next to him. Let's form a row."
Someone then suggested that they take a "family photo" with everyone riding their respective Ironclad Tyrannosauruses. This suggestion was unanimously passed with a group vote.
The Ironclad Tyrannosaurus Mounts were very small, but the players were all from different races and of all shapes and sizes. When the entire group was placed in a row, it looked very comedic, especially since the Ironclad Tyrannosauruses were shaking non-stop, like shivering chickens. The overall appearance looked extremely whacky.
"Hahahaha…"
A family photo was created in the midst of the everyone's laughter.
Pretty Good Mood then waved his hand, causing the laughter to subside.
"There's one thing I need to say to everyone." Pretty Good Mood rode the Ironclad Tyrannosaurus and walked forward slightly before he turned around. He said with a straight face, "Our success this time was due to everyone's combined efforts. I don't want a video of this Instance Dungeon run being leaked to the public somehow, do all of you catch my drift?"
Everyone started to look at each other. No one said a word.
The battle this time was truly epic as at least half of the players already had their recording software running. If it was not for Pretty Good Mood's speech they would have all uploaded the recordings to the official site to brag.
"The usage of curses and potions, and the strategies for this Instance Dungeon, all of them are our bargaining chips against other guilds. Furthermore, we still have an even tougher task waiting for us." Pretty Good Mood raised his fist. "Defeating Ifrit and getting the three-peat!"
"Commander, the video has been deleted!"
"I've also deleted mine, Commander. As long as you remember to keep one copy, it's fine."
Everyone started to come forward and deleted their recorded clips.
"Commander, let's start looting. Hahahaha! I bet there's at least 10 purple equipment, maybe even 5 orange equipment…"
"Bugger off, what do you mean 5 orange equipment. We're gunning for at least 15 orange equipment!"
"Hahaha, the more the merrier. Or best case scenario, everyone gets one."
"Guild Master, how about you loot this time?" After deliberating for a long while, Pretty Good Mood had finally decided.
"I'll listen to any of your orders when raiding dungeons, but as for looting the boss, please find someone else."
Li Yi instantly rejected.
"Miss Ice, then how about you?"
"Yeah, Miss Ice has a God Hand. Last time, she managed to get me a ring, and this time around, let's make it a pair."
With countless people urging her on, Fire Ice blushed as she walked forward, reaching her hand out to loot.
The Virtual Inventory Pane appeared in front of everybody's eyes. From top to bottom, it listed out more than 60 pieces of gold equipment but unfortunately, there was not a single purple equipment…
"This hand truly is a God Hand," Li Yi praised in amazement.
With this number of equipment, it was much easier to distribute. Since everyone would have a chance of getting something, everyone was naturally cheery.
Li Yi had gotten another legendary equipment, Blazing Belt. Its attribute was bloody awesome and its special effect was even better as it added an additional 5% to the user's ATK.
Other than this item, he had also gotten another god-tier item, an Intermediate-Level Flame Arrow Crafting Tome!
The others were also satisfied with their distributions. Everyone got an upgrade and the remaining items were sent back to the guild inventory without a single complaint, serving as the guild's rewards open to the other members.
Pretty Good Mood clapped his hands. "I hereby disband this party. Everyone can have some time off for the next few days, I will contact you when we're ready."
The party was disbanded. So, Li Yi left the party too and headed into the Fire Devil Instance Dungeon alone to find Vladimir's Soul to complete the quest.
As all the members of the party had also completed this quest, it was now time to hand it in.
"My perfect physical body, 'twas so strong that even the Giants were jealous of its power."
When he found out that his physical body had been destroyed, Vladimir wailed in sadness.
System Notification: [Congratulations, you have completed the Dwarf King's Redemption. Obtained 50000 EXP, 300 points in Reputation Value in all major cities, and one Class Skill Tome.]
Li Yi looked in his backpack and the Class Skill Tome he had just obtained left him speechless. It was the Skill Tome for Penetrating Arrow which he had already learned before.
'Since I've already learned it, this is useless but this might be useful as a gift to others.'
"Us Dwarfs are a race created by the Gods, our ingenuity is something that the world can attest to…" Vladimir continued to talk non-stop.
"Humans are very smart, but us Dwarfs are much smarter. Even thousands of years ago, we have managed to make Iron Birds that could soar the skies, could humans have done that? Haha, 'tis impossible, right?"
"Do you know why that is though? Hehe, let me share with you a secret. That's because us Dwarfs as a race have received the God's Blessing, giving us a supernatural Encyclopedia of Engineering."
"Sigh, unfortunately, I was blinded by my desires which caused the Dwarf race to be at the brink of extinction. Even my kind who managed to survive has long forgotten those God-given hereditary techniques."
Vladimir was in melancholy as he drifted in the sky silently for a long while before he finally said to Li Yi, "I have a request, are you willing to help me?"
Li Yi nodded.
"The Dwarf race's Encyclopedia of Engineering has been sealed within Ifrit's Flame Crown. I want you to defeat him and take back the Encyclopedia of Engineering, returning it back to my hands in one piece."
"No problem." Li Yi accepted the quest.
[Accepted Quest: The Secret of the Dwarf Race.]
[Quest Completion: Defeat Ifrit, retrieve the Encyclopedia of Engineering and return it to the Dwarf King. Upon completing the quest, the player shall be rewarded 1000000 EXP, 500 points in Reputation Value in all major cities, and one Class Skill Tome(random skill).]
"Do not forget, you must return the Encyclopedia of Engineering to me in one piece. May the God of War watch over you."
After Vladimir warned him for the umpteenth time, Li Yi had already raised up his Return City Stone.
The quest had already been accepted, and there was no longer a need to listen to his blabbering.
Just as Li Yi returned back to the Shattered Frost City, Ye Yingbing took the initiative and contacted him.
"We lost, feel free to request anything of us."
"I want to meet your Guild Master."
Ye Yingbing paused briefly before she replied, "Not a problem, what time shall we schedule it?"
"Tomorrow, Shattered Frost City, Tavern Linda, it's your Guild Master's treat."
Ye Yingbing was speechless.
…
Li Yi walked into the Auction House to check out the gains of the Fire Crystal Rocks.
The 5,000,000 Gold Coins sent over by Star Fire had a remaining of nearly 2,000,000. It seemed like one could not hoard anymore Fire Crystal Rocks.
Others would not know this, but Li Yi was quite certain that once the Fire Devil Instance Dungeon was opened, the Fire Crystal Rock's price would naturally go up.
The reason for that was simple; if anyone wanted to challenge the 100-man dungeon Fire Devil, a party would require 50 pieces of magical crystal rocks every time they enter. However, magical crystal rocks were random drops from the Pinnacle of Fire Instance Dungeons. Due to their low drop rate, often times, you would only get one piece out of every dozen of times you complete a dungeon.
Magical crystal rocks being the entrance ticket to the Fire Devil Instance Dungeon was no secret. A lot of guilds had been buying them since the very start. However, due to the slow drop rates of the magical crystal rocks, they could never manage to hoard enough of it.
After the Fire Devil Instance Dungeon opened, Karone Foresight would appear in front of the dungeon's entrance. He would then offer to buy an unlimited amount of Fire Crystal Rocks, that with every 10 Fire Crystal Rocks would be exchanged for 1 magical crystal rock.
'Without the entrance ticket, you cannot enter the dungeon. And if you want to get the entrance ticket, you would need to exchange it with Fire Crystal Rocks, can this thing not surge in price?'
Just as the Little Drunk Cats guild beat the dungeon earlier, there had been quite a few people heading towards the Fire Devil Instance Dungeon to look around. In the end, most of them could not even enter because they did not have the tickets. After they saw Karone, they finally came to the realization that the once considered trash item that no one wanted – Fire Crystal Rocks — had become so important once more…
The price instantly surged. Just within the hour after the Little Drunk Cats guild beat the dungeon, the price for Fire Crystal Rocks had already doubled, and this was still far from the moon of its price!
"Hahahaha, Brother Dark Wing, I'm completely impressed by you. There's nothing else I can say. No matter how much profit I manage to get this time, I'll promise to give you 10% dividend of it. And don't you dare reject this offer, otherwise, how am I supposed to face you in the future?" Confused Fox sent him the message as soon as he heard the news.
The price surge for the Fire Crystal Rocks was something that was already set in stone. With Confused Fox's brains, had he still not figured it out?
"Haha, glad to see Guild Master Fox so happy. I'll definitely remember you next time I have any plans, bro," Li Yi emphasized the two words "next time" in his reply.
"Hahaha, nice doing business with you."
The two started to laugh out loud, heartily.
Confused Fox was happy, but the other party was over the moon.
Shangguan Bailu had also contacted Li Yi, suggesting that they would only take back the initial costs and all the money they had earned would all be attributed to Li Yi.
'That's great, I originally wanted to find an opportunity to make it up to Dream. Well, it's even better now that their intention of working with us is even more obvious…'
…
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

May the God of War watch over you."After Vladimir warned him for the umpteenth time, Li Yi had already raised up his Return City Stone.The quest had already been accepted, and there was no longer a need to listen to his blabbering.Just as Li Yi returned back to the Shattered Frost City, Ye Yingbing took the initiative and contacted him."We lost, feel free to request anything of us.""I want to meet your Guild Master."Ye Yingbing paused briefly before she replied, "Not a problem, what time shall we schedule it?""Tomorrow, Shattered Frost City, Tavern Linda, it's your Guild Master's treat."Ye Yingbing was speechless.Li Yi walked into the Auction House to check out the gains of the Fire Crystal Rocks.The 5,000,000 Gold Coins sent over by Star Fire had a remaining of nearly 2,000,000. It seemed like one could not hoard anymore Fire Crystal Rocks.Others would not know this, but Li Yi was quite certain that once the Fire Devil Instance Dungeon was opened, the Fire Crystal Rock's price would naturally go up.The reason for that was simple; if anyone wanted to challenge the 100-man dungeon Fire Devil, a party would require 50 pieces of magical crystal rocks every time they enter. However, magical crystal rocks were random drops from the Pinnacle of Fire Instance Dungeons. Due to their low drop rate, often times, you would only get one piece out of every dozen of times you complete a dungeon.Magical crystal rocks being the entrance ticket to the Fire Devil Instance Dungeon was no secret. A lot of guilds had been buying them since the very start. However, due to the slow drop rates of the magical crystal rocks, they could never manage to hoard enough of it.After the Fire Devil Instance Dungeon opened, Karone Foresight would appear in front of the dungeon's entrance. He would then offer to buy an unlimited amount of Fire Crystal Rocks, that with every 10 Fire Crystal Rocks would be exchanged for 1 magical crystal rock.'Without the entrance ticket, you cannot enter the dungeon. And if you want to get the entrance ticket, you would need to exchange it with Fire Crystal Rocks, can this thing not surge in price?'Just as the Little Drunk Cats guild beat the dungeon earlier, there had been quite a few people heading towards the Fire Devil Instance Dungeon to look around. In the end, most of them could not even enter because they did not have the tickets. After they saw Karone, they finally came to the realization that the once considered trash item that no one wanted Fire Crystal Rocks had become so important once moreThe price instantly surged. Just within the hour after the Little Drunk Cats guild beat the dungeon, the price for Fire Crystal Rocks had already doubled, and this was still far from the moon of its price!"Hahahaha, Brother Dark Wing, I'm completely impressed by you. There's nothing else I can say. No matter how much profit I manage to get this time, I'll promise to give you 10% dividend of it. And don't you dare reject this offer, otherwise, how am I supposed to face you in the future?" Confused Fox sent him the message as soon as he heard the news.The price surge for the Fire Crystal Rocks was something that was already set in stone. With Confused Fox's brains, had he still not figured it out?"Haha, glad to see Guild Master Fox so happy. I'll definitely remember you next time I have any plans, bro," Li Yi emphasized the two words "next time" in his reply."Hahaha, nice doing business with you."The two started to laugh out loud, heartily.Confused Fox was happy, but the other party was over the moon.Shangguan Bailu had also contacted Li Yi, suggesting that they would only take back the initial costs and all the money they had earned would all be attributed to Li Yi.'That's great, I originally wanted to find an opportunity to make it up to Dream. Well, it's even better now that their intention of working with us is even more obvious'
