"This wicked power... Oh, no... It's trying to seal my powers..."
Elenor screamed in terror. Her body, wrapped in holy light, was forcefully sucked into the Dark Contract Scroll.
Seal Success!
Li Yi kept the Dark Contract Scroll that sealed Elenor before issuing an order to Onyxia."Retreat!"
Onyxia turned its head and spat out a wall of scorching fire to disperse the players from the Western Continent that were chasing them. After that, she quickly stretched her wings and flew away from the scene as fast as she could.
The two people on the dragon's back only relaxed after the enemies were no longer visible to them. They were not in danger anymore.
Little Elf from the Magical Realm said, "You could've tamed Elenor without my help, right?"
"I can't be sure about that. Elenor has the body of a demigod, and even though she was in a weakened state, I would definitely lose my life if you weren't here to heal me the moment she activates the Holy Light Forbidden Art."
When Li Yi was talking, he had leaned closer to Little Elf from the Magical Realm and took her hand in his. Then, he grinned and said, "Director Yang, was that night really a dream?"
Little Elf from the Magical Realm raised her head and answered, "Of course!"
"If that's the case, when should we let our dreams come true?"
"When Momo has grown up and I have become an old woman."
"Um..."
Little Elf from the Magical Realm sighed dejectedly."I still love my husband a lot. I loved him for a long time until this very day, and I will still love him in the future..."
"Hey, hey. Why are we getting depressed in the middle of a perfectly normal conversation? Let's change the topic now. How's your progress in the Conquest Instance Dungeon?"
Little Elf from the Magical Realm was taken aback for a moment before she could muster up an answer."I didn't manage to clear any Bosses. I think my progress is still zero."
"... No way. Really?" Li Yi was dumbfounded.
Was the difference between his past life and the present so jarring? The fastest progress in the Conquest Instance Dungeon was already at 50%. Little Elf from the Magical Realm's progress at 0, was too far behind from the current progress.
"I'm trying my best to clear the dungeon, but I can't somehow find the key to do it. It'll take a long time trying to solve the puzzles, and I can't seem to catch the spawn points accurately. This weird dungeon doesn't allow me to form teams too, so until today, I still had no idea how should I go about it in this dungeon."
"..."
"Have you seen the clear rewards for the Conquest Instance Dungeon?"
LIttle Elf of the Magical Realm nodded."Yeah, I've seen it. The bonus reward is a mysterious flying battle mount."
"Do you know the reason why the reward is set to be a flying battle mount?"
"To stimulate the enthusiasm of players."
"No, that's not it. The true reason was to let players have a wider field of vision. Hm, I'll just tell you this. Don't restrict yourself to the ground. Instead, try to fly into the sky..." Li Yi tried to enlighten Little Elf from the Magical Realm.
Little Elf from the Magical Realm's eyes brightened."I know the Air Dance Technique, so I could actually fly. Could it be that the secret of clearing the Conquest Instance Dungeon is actually in the sky?"
Li Yi thought to himself, 'If you were to ask me this question, who should I forward this question to? All of this was the results of your research in the past life. I had only read that walkthrough of yours and thus knew how it should be done. However, I do not know how did you manage to arrive at the conclusion. '
"It's always a good thing to test a hypothesis. Maybe you can find your point of breakthrough after you have changed your perspective and mode of thought."
"Mhmm mhmm. Alright, I'll try it out once I'm back. Are you done touching me?"
The two were talking in midflight, and Li Yi was still holding onto the hands of Little Elf from the Magical Realm.
"If it's possible, you should take some time off in the next few days and come over to my house for a gathering. It's been so long since our last drinking session."
"Mmhmm..." Little Elf from the Magical Realm blushed red and nodded in agreement.
Onyxia continued to fly until the borders of the Invincible Continent. Only then did Little Elf from the Magical Realm leaped off and flew away using the Air Dance Technique.
The Air Dance Technique of the Vagabond class was a highly practical skill. As long as the player has enough mana, they could freely fly in the air in a more flexible manner than traveling on a mount.
Li YI checked his list of friends and found that Ouyang Qian had gone offline.
It seems that helping her to clear the Firelord had to wait until tomorrow.
Li Yi teleported himself back into the Celestial Capital and snuck into the Auction House again.
A few days ago, he had another breakthrough with the level as an Apothecarist. Now, he no longer had any restrictions and could once again purchase ordinary medicinal ingredients to increase his mastery.
Many people come and go in the Auction House. This place has never had a quiet day ever since it opened, and it could be said that 70% of the transactions that happened in the game happened in here.
Li Yi bought a large number of medicinal ingredients and prepared himself to go home and grind for mastery.
"Willing to buy Advanced-Level Mana Recovery Potion at 1 Gold Coin for 100 bottles. I'm buying in bulk and will take however much that you have. Don't worry that I will not have enough money for you. I'm just afraid that you don't have enough for me!"
Just when Li Yi was about to leave with his purchase of medicinal ingredients, he heard a familiar shout from the outside of the Auction House.
There were at least eight hundred to one thousand players calling for sales near the Auction House. However, this sound that was calling for Mana Recovery Potion has such a high penetration power that everyone in the Auction House has heard it clearly.
Li Yi tilted his head upwards to look and saw the back of that person. He had a green cape that has words embedded on it.
Li Yi had recognized that person that was looking to buy the potion the second he had laid his eyes on him. It was Scumbag Wang.
"You can't even buy five bottles of Advanced-Level Mana Recovery Potion with 1 Gold Coin. This idiot was thinking of getting 100 bottles with 1 Gold Coin! Which half-wit would sell them to him?"
"He's been calling out for a few days already. No one bothered to go to him."
The players in the Auction House were all discussing about Scumbag Wang, and most of them were laughing at him.
At this time, a female Warrior named Purple Sakura Scorpion was leaving the Auction House. Suddenly, she was stopped by Scumbag Wang with his Void 'Boob-grabbing' Dragon Claws.
Purple Sakura Scorpion was furious."Are you crazy?"
Scumbag Wang stared sincerely at Purple Sakura Scorpion's heaving breasts. He asked, "Do you have any potions?"
Poof poof!
A blood-scarlet blade flashed. Scumbag Wang was already lying on the ground.
Purple Sakura Scorpion did not even look back when she left in anger. Scumbag Wang was dejected.
"Oh no, oh no, oh no..." Scumbag Wang kept sighing in despair as he lied on the ground.
"Leader Scum, you're equally as famous as Dark Wing. How is it possible that you're lying here after you've gotten yourself killed by a lady?" Someone went to mock Scumbag Wang.
"What do you know? Did you see me retaliate just now?"
"Nope, you definitely didn't. You're dead after two slashes."
"That's exactly it. If I were to fight back, that girl would've surely died in my hands."
"Why didn't you fight back then?"
"I'm afraid that she might fall in love with me after an extreme hatred. She might end up pestering me afterward. I cannot cheat on Sister Huahua." Still lying on the ground, Scumbag Wang was already deep in his fantasy.
"F*ck off..."
The group of people dispersed themselves immediately. No one bothered with him after that.
Scumbag Wang was still muttering to himself on the ground."This is bad, this is bad, this is bad..."
"Leader Scum, what is bad?" Li Yi approached him.
"Didn't you see that my name is already red? If I were to resurrect myself, I'll no longer be here anymore. I'll definitely return to the Celestial Capital. Son of a b*tch, those soldiers in the Celestial Capital are hard to evade, and I might end up getting locked up."
"You could just get someone to save you, right?"
"All of my brothers are busy slaughtering cities... Why don't you come and save me? My brother, this is an opportunity for you."
"Opportunity?" Li Yi was already confused by Scumbag Wang's reasoning.
"Who am I? I am the person that shares the fame with Dark Wing. If you were to save me, you'll become famous too, right? Why is your intelligence so low? Do you want me to recommend you to Fengxi so can you could train your mind?"
Li Yi wiped off a drop of dumbfounded sweat. This lad still did not recognize who he was talking to...
Li Yi took the Cardiac Pacemaker Model V5 and placed it on Scumbag Wang's chest.
Scumbag Wang gave Li Yi a thumbs up."My friend, you're good. An Archer like you actually knows the art of resurrection! You're much better than the priests that fight with knives in my guild. Do you want to come to Huashan and join us? I'll recommend you to become our fifth-in-line."
Scumbag Wang noticed how Li Yi did not react to him. He continued to ask, "Do you have any potions?"
"Mana Recovery Potion? Yeah, a lot of them." Li Yi nodded.
"Sell them to me at 100 Gold Coins for 900 bottles, alright? My friend, you grab the opportunity to be famous as soon as possible. Once you lose your chance, you will not be able to get it so easily the next time around."
Li Yi was curious."1 Gold Coin for 100 bottles. Shouldn't 10 Gold Coins be equivalent to 1000 bottles?"
Scumbag Wang shook his head."That's how I buy potions. If you don't like it, you can choose to not sell them to me!"
"I'll sell them to you!"
Li Yi took out 900 bottles of Advanced-Level Mana Recovery Potion from his Backpack and traded it to Scumbag Wang.
Scumbag Wang gave a thumbs up to Li Yi."My friend, you've gotten yourself a sweet deal!"
Scumbag Wang rubbed the Return City Stone and disappeared. Li Yi turned and realized that the players in the Auction House no longer looked at him the same. Their eyes looked like they were all saying the same thing, "Is this the mythical idiot that everyone has been talking about?"
"My friend, do you still have those potions? I'll take 800 bottles for 10 Gold Coins."
"I want them too! I want them too, I'll take 700 bottles for 10 Gold Coins!"
"I'll take however much you have! 10 Gold Coins for 600 bottles!"
A large group of players surrounded Li Yi and shouted their offer. Judging from the scene, they thought Li Yi a fool.
Li Yi faked a dumb expression and took out a bunch of Gold Coins. He yelled, "I don't have any Mana Recovery Potions with me anymore. However, I'm looking to buy potions! 10 Gold Coins for one bottle of Blue Succubus, and I'll buy however much that you can offer!"
The little mountain of Gold Coins that he had with him was at least over ten thousand. The group of players stared at him dumbly with widened eyes, and those with quick reflexes immediately ran towards the Auction House and keyed in 'Blue Succubus' into the search bar.
There really were Blue Succubus potions in the Auction House, and they were sold at 5 Gold Coins a bottle. There was so many of them that it took up dozens of pages.
The Blue Succubus was a miscellaneous potion that did not increase the HP or Mana of those that consumed it. Instead, its only function was to turn the color of the players' hair into a shade of blue for a short period of time. It could also be considered as a potion that was used for fun. All of the Blue Succubus placed in the Auction House was made by Li Yi when he was grinding for his skills.
Many of the smart players immediately bought a few bottles since they could easily earn a profit of 5 Gold Coins by just selling it to Li Yi. Then, they took the bottles to Li Yi and sold it to him.
Li Yi did not even pause when confirming the transaction. No matter who was the seller, he would buy all of the potions for 10 Gold Coins each. There was no fraud or trickery involved.
The number of players that went to buy the Blue Succubus shot up immediately. In a blink of an eye, all 56 pages of the potion pane were sold out...
Meanwhile, Li Yi has quickly teleported himself away once the last bottle of Blue Succubus was sold out from the Auction House.
If he were to make a thorough calculation, he had made almost ten thousand Gold Coins in profit.
"That d*mn swindler, f*ck!"
"I bought more than a thousand bottles. I'm going to cry..."
"I'm worse off than you, I bought at least two thousand bottles."
Roars of anger were heard from the Auction House. Who could they blame for their behavior? Penny wise, pound foolish.
Li Yi sold 900 bottles of Mana Recover Potion to Scumbag Wang because he was curious. He could not fathom why that idiot would want to buy so many Mana Recovery Potions. To him, Mana Recovery Potions were things that he could brew whenever he wanted. It was not a difficult feat at all.
After three hours, Li Yi's curiosity finally had an answer. Tyrannic Dynasty's major cities were slaughtered by Huashan Guild...
One, two, three major cities...
Overnight, all of the major cities that belonged to the Three Major Guild Alliance were no more. All of the buildings within the cities were demolished and wrecked entirely...
