Once Li Yi was done with the bandit-clearing quest, he had already killed Simple Little Tiger 11 times.
Five Shadow Equipment Set and Coulomb Double Blade now belonged to Li Yi. Simple Little Tiger lay on the ground while cursing his brains out. He dared not get up.
Li Yi responded with a face of sincerity, "Get up and leave."
"I will not kill you anymore."
"I must the world's biggest *ssh*l* if I were to trust you again!"
"Alright, do as you please then."
Li Yi got on his horse and trotted away.
About half an hour later, Simple Little Tiger got up from the ground. He took three steps before two black Feathered Arrows flew over, instantly killing him on the spot.
"F**K ME! P*SSY C*NT!" Simple Little Tiger spurted a screen of censored words.
"I just handed in the quest but was given another bandit-clearing quest.
"I'm really sorry, I really didn't want to return."
Li Yi walked over and apologized to Little Tiger with utmost sincerity.
This time, no matter what Li Yi said, Simple Little Tiger refused to listen any further.
Once Li Yi was done with the quest, Simple Little Tiger was still lying there.
"I'm really leaving this time."
Li Yi waved his arm at Simple Little Tiger.
"C*nt!" Simple Little Tiger reacted.
...
"You best be staying away from me, you psycho killer!"
Li Yi was warned as he was passing by Equipment Reinforcement Master, Kelly.
This Equipment Reinforcement Master was constantly in rage. Hence, she was coined, Raging Kelly. She was also one of the special NPCs of Shattered Frost City.
Li Yi's name was beyond red for killing Simple Little Tiger 12 times. Although Trickery Ring masked his name from players it was ineffective towards NPCs so he could not hide this fact.
Li Yi was not bothered by Kelly's chiding. He still went about to do what he was supposed to do.
NPCs hated players with red names. It was fortunate that Li Yi managed to score a City-Defending Soldier title and killed brigands every day to increase his reputation. If it were any regular players with red names, they would not be able to even converse with NPCs, let alone receive quests.
Of course, Li Yi could not escape from red-name punishments. For an example, if he were to purchase any item from NPCs, the price would be 30% increased.
Li Yi walked into a Tailor's Shop and was immediately surrounded by a group of tailor apprentices.
"What garments do you want?
"Half price! Half price!"
"I won't take any money, I'll do it for free as long as materials are on you."
"I won't take any money too as long as you fork out the materials.
"Free for life."
Now that the game was at its early phase, any life professions learned was still too hard to earn any money so the majority of the players would do anything to level up to mastery.
Li Yi waved his arm and asked, "Who knows how to make Special Apparel?"
Once they heard of Li Yi's request, the tailor apprentices were shrouded in disappointment and went about their own business.
Li Yi was puzzled."Really?
"There isn't anyone?
"I'm offering 100 Gold Coins."
The tailor apprentices' eyes lit up initially but immediately dimmed.
Only with Intermediate-Level Tailoring that they could make Special Apparels. They hadn't even made it to Beginner-Level Tailoring. They still had a long way ahead of them.
Li Yi grew anxious."300 Gold Coins, anyone?"
"Buddy, even if you fork out 500 Gold Coins, no one here can make it.
"Among us, the one with the highest mastery points is only at 7000 plus and he hasn't even achieved Beginner-Level Tailoring." One of the tailor apprentices helplessly sighed.
"Er..."
Walking out of Tailor's Shop, Li Yi face was locked in a frown. He has forgotten that the present day was not his past life. Not a Tailor Master was in sight, even common Intermediate-Level Tailors has not been mastered by anyone.
"It won't be easy without Special Apparel... Oh, right!" Li Yi smacked his hands and figured something.
South of Shattered Frost City was Calare Ruins. A monster, called Black-Furred Savage spawned there has a chance of dropping Special Apparels.
Li Yi rode his horse and rushed to Calare Ruins at the fastest speed.
Normal Black-Furred Savage's level ranged around 15 to 20. The occasional elites were only at Level 20. Farming monsters here was not difficult for Li Yi.
Half an hour later, Li Yi obtained a pile of white quality Special Apparels.
Savage's Grass Skirt, Weeded Breastplates, Chicken-Feathered Headdress, Leopard Ankle Boots...
"That should cover it."
Li Yi nodded in satisfaction and rubbed his Return City Stone to return to Shattered Frost City.
These equipment that was less than garbage in the eyes of others were most beneficial to him.
Returning to his room, Li Yi issued a new order to Sif.
To change into a servant's apparel.
The current Sif was still in Weak status and could not retaliate against Li Yi's orders. Hence, an Elf Princess with a Chicken-Feathered Headdress, with a Weeded Breastplate and Savage's Grass Skirt appeared before him.
"It's really... not that bad."
The beauty of White Elves was renowned and upon Li Yi's meticulous makeover, Elf Princess' beauty was on a whole new level. Of course, this new level was beheld by the eyes of Li Yi.
"With the Elven Goddess above, you despicable humans will pay for your doings!" Sif's face and name above her head were gleaming in red. This was a sign of Aggro intensifying.
...
With the guild conflict coming to an end, Li Yi continued to carry for players. 1The future men of mark in Pantheon, Nirvana Inaction and Confused Fox were his patrons.
Their levels were increasing at a slow pace. Although Li Yi did not clear a 50-persons Party-Level Instance Dungeon, he received sizeable EXP clearing a few five-persons Instance Dungeon with his EXP Pearl. It was not long before Li Yi reached Level 25.
Level 25 was an Archer's most eye-catching phase. For no other reason, this was because they could learn a skill called an Ultimate Move at Level 25.
Pseudocide!
When one was forced into a corner by a group of monsters, they could use Pseudocide to break away from battle. One would then see the group of silly monsters no longer hot on their tail and obediently return to their original spot.
For Archer class to go solo in dungeons, the key was whether or not Pseudocide was utilized well.
Pseudocide skill did not have a Skill Tome and could only be learned from a Skill Mentor for 100 Gold Coins.
After a period of accumulation, Li Yi's Gold Coins reached fifty thousand and the good stuff hoarded in his inventory was taller than a mountain. Although currently, this good stuff was worth nothing but in a not-too-long future, all these would become hot items that could not be bought with money.
Li Yi first learned Pseudocide before taking his Mysterious Egg to an appraiser in the city.
With the increase of his level, Mutated Small Wild Boar was getting more and more worn out from fighting monsters. It was time for a new pet.
Upon appraisal, Mysterious Egg, a miscellaneous item dropped from a 50-persons Party-Level Instance Dungeon has a certain probability in hatching the highest grade pet that could be carried by Archers and Contract Summoner. Other classes would not be able to carry it.
"This is of female sex..."
After Li Yi made payment of 200 Gold Coins, an old appraiser in white hair held the egg and muttered these words.
"Bring it along to your adventures and let it absorb the soul essence of different attribute monsters. It won't be long before you can meet the lovely little fella."
'Ripoff, what a ripoff.
'Just a sentence for 200 Gold Coins.
'Well, it couldn't be helped.
'The Mysterious Egg wouldn't be able to hatch without appraisal so even if the price was 2000 Gold Coins, let alone 200 Gold Coins, it has to be spent. '
Taking back the Mysterious Egg from the appraiser's hands, a change was displayed.
[Mysterious Egg]
[Gender: Female]
[Attribute: Unknown]
[Race: Unknown]
[Hatching progress: 1%]
...
Simple Little Tiger returned. Originally, he wanted to recruit a few friends to take his revenge on Li Yi but I Love Beast Beast stopped his plans.
"Hadn't you died enough?
"Are you sparing him none?
"He had once killed more than 300 in the three-guild war (inaccurate intel from his side), can you?
"If you're able, then go.
"If you aren't, then stay put."
