Through selling Instance Dungeon battle videos, Qing Pingle has made over 2,000,000 bucks. If he were to lie low now, he would have still made a profit even if he was on the hit list.
But this time... He suffered a heavy loss.
Not only had he lost all that he had earned, he even lost his own capital.
This was the outcome of his excessive greed. He could not put the blame on others.
Originally, he had already contacted five buyers but Li Yi making the videos public had left his plan in shambles.
The Instance Dungeon battle video he had in his hands was now worth nothing.
An Ruoyi announced grandiosely that the misunderstanding between Dark Wing and her has been resolved. She was most satisfied with the dungeon reward distributions. The matter was resolved, she would return to the Little Drunk Cat Guild.
"Swindlers!" Qing Pingle rushed to the official forum to cuss at An Ruoyi and Dark Wing, for teaming up to scheme and swindle him.
This was indeed a scheme planned out by Dark Wing. He chose An Ruoyi because Qing Pringle was once interested in An Ruoyi when she was in the guild. Although it was just an initial spark, everyone knew about it. A little push and he surrendered all his ill-gotten gains.
"Thanks," Dark Wing sincerely showed his gratitude to An Ruoyi. It took him quite a bit to convince this young lady to cooperate with his plan.
"I hate conmen but returning the favor this way really hits my sweet spot, haha..."
An Ruoyi's amazing performance had earned her a spot in the Main Legion Elites. Of course, even without the occurrence of this matter, Li Yi would still have promoted her. During the battle with Ivfrit, if it were not for An Ruoyi surviving that long, he was very uncertain whether or not he could have cleared that stage.
Her capabilities were completely satisfactory to be a part of the Main Legion Elites.
Nobody paid attention to Qing Pingle's rant. His post elicited no response.
The Instance Dungeon battle video posted to the website caused another sensation, especially at the last stage where Li Yi single-handedly took down Ivrit. This made every players' jaw drop.
Li Yi's battle techniques was a spectacular one-man show. In other words, his awareness and technique were first-rate.
"It's no wonder they're able to clear the dungeon with this God."
From a party of a hundred, the other ninety-nine members amounted to nothing. The way Li Yi turned the situation around defied belief and words.
"Your Guild Master is just too freakin' awesome. What technique! The boss' spear was already in mid-thrust yet he still shot an arrow while doing a sideways roll. F*ck me, utmost respect."
"But of course, that's our Guild Master, you know..." Every time this topic was brought up, all the members of Little Drunk Cat Guild swelled with pride as though the god-like technique was theirs.
With time, they had now come to see the Little Drunk Cat Guild as their home.
Little Drunk Cat Guild had not taken in anyone new recently. Over five hundred members had quit the guild following the An Ruoyi incident but this was the situation Li Yi had hoped for. He already had plans to consolidate the Little Drunk Cat guild.
With the Pinnacle of the Fire Instance Group Dungeon out of the way, a new Instance Group Dungeon would not open until after a long time. Li Yi could take the chance to begin his developmental plan in the meanwhile.
With Pretty Good Mood still leading the party in clearing Pinnacle of the Fire series of dungeons, the party was now focusing on profits.
The development of a guild required huge amounts of funds. If Li Yi were to use his own money, even if he did, then how well would party members work together if that income were to suddenly disappear?
Earn together and play together. That was the guild's developmental goal that Li Yi set for Little Drunk Cat.
It was fairly relaxing for Little Drunk Cat's Main Legion to carry other parties to clear dungeons. They could make profits while refining their skills and technique, killing two birds with one stone. The guild benefited and so did the members.
On the other hand, Snickersnee and One Big Bun of the lifestyle class started to strut along, auctioning off all the gold-colored equipment that was made. One Big Bun personally handled all the blue and green-colored equipment. With the flawless coordination between the two, business was booming and profits were raking in several folds. Even more than Pretty Good Mood's party.
Pretty Good Mood sighed depressingly. "See that? This is the difference between skills and labor..."
Little Elf from the Magical Realm's celebration party was still in the works. There were simply too many players who signed up. Any place the Main Legion could go, the rest wanted to go as well. You are my friend, I am your friend, he said today, she said tomorrow. It has been two or three days now, yet the concrete number of participants had not yet been determined.
Li Yi was not in a rush. They could just go once it was all settled. Public transportation was very advanced nowadays. They could fly across the whole world in just one day. Once the numbers were determined, they could go over anytime.
Without the pressure of clearing dungeons, Li Yi could focus on a lot of other matters with ease of mind, such as gathering Official Position Points, learning Engineering and Drawing skills, Apothecary skills, arrow-crafting, leveling up, etc.
Although his Engineering mastery has reached the terrifying Legendary-level, he knew nothing of engineered creation. He has to learn them through Engineering Blueprints first.
Lifestyle class engineering was most helpful for battles so these blueprints were not only rare, the price of each of them was prohibitively exorbitant. Taking the common Practice Dummy Blueprint as an example, it originally only cost 100 Gold Coins but currently, the price had surged to 10,000 Gold Coins.
This was still nothing. Even if you managed to obtain an Engineering Blueprint, without the necessary materials, it still could not be made. Now with the entire nation into engineering, the price of materials soared.
When the three Legendary-level Engineers appeared in his past life, Engineering was not a hot trend yet. The change that Li Yi caused in this life had it taken off like wildfire. This was something even Li Yi could not imagine.
Fortunately, Li Yi was not in a rush. His mastery gauge was full. Design blueprints that focused on mastery were of no use to him. He could learn anything he wanted.
So he made up his mind and learned three of the currently most practical Engineering Blueprints before putting this lifestyle class aside for now.
After beating Ivrit, Li Yi had reached Level 46, putting him three levels higher than Lonely Semi City who normally placed first in the level rankings.
Being between Level 40 to 60 meant that Large-sized Party-Level Instance Dungeon was less trouble. Also, there were a few hundred new ways at the player's disposal to level up. They did not need to battle monsters, they could just master a lifestyle class and their EXP would steadily increase.
Taking Snickersnee as an example, he had reached Level 31. He had not attacked any monsters since he was Level 10. He solely depended on tiny EXP from lifestyle skills such as mining and fishing to level up...
You could play how your heart desired. It was not limited to fighting monsters. This was the charm of King of Pantheon.
Shattered Frost City's commerce developed rapidly and the Degree of Popular Support Li Yi received was rising at a slow pace. Once it reached 52%, support on Archiemonde fell to 41%. The way things were heading, he should be able to execute his city-seizing plan in at most, two or three days' time.
In contrast to Li Yi, Scumbag Wang of Huashan Guild was still bringing his men to lay siege on Wind Capital to recapture the title of Castellan.
Scumbag Wang was thoroughly pissed off. For the past few days, he did nothing but continuously attack. His drive was so much more zealous than Old Green.
Scumbag Wang was moping about. "Uncle's seriously shady af. PM-ed to have me rate. I gave a bad rating and Leghar, that shithead ran off."
It was fairly easy for Li Yi to manipulate Scumbag Wang to cast out Leghar. Although Scumbag Wang's Castellan authority was completely sealed, there was one function still usable, and that was the Official Rating System.
Official NPCs possessed intelligence, and as a Castellan, they could rate their Official NPC subordinates once a month. These officials have different character settings so any good or bad ratings received would affect their performance at work.
Leghar had a firm and upright nature. He never lazed around and was a serious NPC. Li Yi instigated Scumbag Wang to rate him as Extremely Horrible. This caused him to leave Wind Capital, completely disheartened. This had happened before in his past life, hence Li Yi adopted this method without a hitch.
Of course, Scumbag Wang still had no clue that it was Li Yi's doing. He vented his fury onto the newly appointed brigand leader, Uncle.
"It's all 'cause Uncle messaged me and played dirty. He had me cast away Leghar and took the opportunity to steal my vacant city. This NPC's too cunning. I will not stop until I kill him!"
Li Yi really had to give some respect to Scumbag Wang's subordinates. They were killed so many times yet they still endlessly charged in, dying more than a thousand times without a word of complaint.
"Brother Wang, just forget it. The way you're going, you'll never be able to retake Wind Capital," Scumbag Wang's best friend, Hua Feiwu urged him.
"F*ck your sister, mind your own business. I still think of you as a friend whether you help me or not but any hint of sarcasm, and you can forget us being friends."
"Do as you please." Hua Feiwu left with a sour face.
No one could talk him out of it. Scumbag Wang was dead set on launching attacks right until the System notified them the time limit on counter-attacking was over. Huashan Guild was banned from attacking Wind Capital.
"Kill all the NPCs in the city, adult or child. Leave none alive." Scumbag Wang revealed his viciousness.
When Scumbag Wang issued the order and Huashan Guild mobilized towards the NPCs of Wind Capital... they were all vaporized.
Although the weakest child NPC was no elite and had little HP, they escaped once they were assaulted. It was not long before their fathers, mothers, grandparents swarmed the guild with their broadswords and spears, stabbing everyone at will...
Scumbag Wang and his men went at it for a few days until their Reputation Value at Wind Capital dropped to the lowest at -100,000 points. Huashan Guild was entirely forced teleported out of the city. The attitude of all NPCs in Wind Capital was now Mortal Enemy.
Scumbag Wang and the lot now could not get close to Wind Capital. As long as they attempted to barge in, the NPCs would shoot arrows, blast spells, taking them down before they could even enter. Wind Capital was now a hostile city.
"Leader Scum, why are the names of the NPCs in this city in red?"
"Need you ask more? Why is your IQ so low? This means we unlocked a Hidden Mode. What does the red name mean? It means they have become monsters and if we kill them, we get good equipment, get it?"
"I do... But not really."
"What's your name?"
"Leader Scum, my name is Lonesome One."
"Go hang out with Fengxi tomorrow. Your IQ's too low."
