“Kill them, damn it! What are you waiting for?”
In the ruins of the Celestial Capital, a group of well-equipped players was still fighting the demons, but with their strength, hundreds of people could not put down a monster. One could easily imagine how it ended…
“Leader Scum, the brothers can’t resist those vicious scum. I think we should bail.”
“That’s absolute cockamamie! A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity like this is exactly what will make us famous. Who cares about losing? Have you not heard the words of Cao Cao from the Three Kingdoms? A true hero is thus; there will be great ambition in his heart, and great cunning in his being; he will have enough… Uh, semen in his testicles, and the aspiration to blow the biggest cock in the universe!”
“All hail the learned leader!”
“‘Tis true wisdom!”
“Leader Scum is always right, let’s go!”
They were all seen corpse-running.
This group of players who still insisted on fighting the demons after the fall of the Capital was no one else but the Huashan Guild led by Scumbag Wang.
Eight hundred of them stayed from the beginning till the end.
“Blow the horns to signal a charge!”
“Beeeeeeeeeeeeeep—” Lonely Perfume covered his lips with both hands and tooted a string of quirky notes.
The eight hundred members were resurrected and charged the greenskins.
After a few seconds, they lay flat on the ground once more…
“Brothers, again! With speed!”
The loud voice of Scumbag Wang sounded again.
The story of Huashan’s heroic deeds spread like wildfire. Their actions were seen by other players from the Invincible Continent and immediately gained popularity.
“Look at those Huashan lads, still fighting even the city has fallen! What have y’all done besides blaming each other for the loss? You lot should be ashamed!”
“The Huashan Guild never gave up, never complained, but you guys, on the other hand, ended up like Cain and Abel! As a citizen of the Invincible Continent, I am utterly embarrassed!”
“I admit that Scumbag Wang was annoying, but he’s my bias now!”
“All hail Leader Scum!”
“I will leave my guild and join Huashan!”
The cries on the National Channel went louder and higher than the tides of a tsunami. Due to the performance of the Huashan Guild, the public made an about-turn over their opinions toward Scumbag Wang, it changed from utter disgust to profound admiration.
Little did they know that Scumbag Wang was only trying to make a name for himself to surpass the reputation of Dark Wing, his intentions were not out of sheer patriotism…
Regardless of his motives, the bravery of the Huashan Guild left many in sackcloth and ashes.
…
“I heard the news, you have defeated the First Demon God Genghis. You are strong, much stronger than I was.”
Aragon sighed and took out a minuscule sword with the size of a palm and handed it to Li Yi.
“This is the relic that my mentor gave me. It contains the power of the Blademaster of the last generation. My mentor told me that when I meet a person who had more courage than me, he or she shall receive this gift, and you fit the description best!”
When Li Yi reached out and took the little thing, he heard a sharp clang.
Ding!
[Congratulations! You have obtained Little Sword.]
An item for a class change!
Li Yi was astonished.
He came to Aragon to experiment whether the latter would lend his assistance in the battle, but he did not expect to get an item to change his class to Blademaster.
Among the hidden classes in the King of Pantheon, Dark Paladins were the most common followed by the Martial Artists, while Blademasters and God-Chastised Paladins were only myths. No one had actually been one of those two.
It was the same throughout the eight years in his previous life. No one had seen any players as Blademaster.
[Change your class now?]
As Li Yi was examining the item, he received a system prompt.
“No!”
Li Yi did not change his class and put the Little Sword away.
It was an indisputable fact that hidden classes were stronger than the default classes. The problem, however, was that Li Yi had been playing as Archer for several years. If he suddenly changed to Blademaster, would he be able to adapt the change in such a short time?
Abandoning his forte and changing to a class which was a complete stranger to him, it would take a long time to acclimatize. Li Yi did not have that oomph for the time being.
The item was locked and untradable. Suffice to say, only Li Yi could complete the class change. The Little Sword bore no effect on anybody else.
“Aragon, it is uncommonly peculiar that the demons grew stronger after killing the First Demon God. Perhaps you knew the cause of it?”
Aragon thought for a moment and said, “Genghis is the source of power of all demons. It has almost uncountable lives. It will be revived in a short time even after its death. The demons will not be buffed for no reason. It must be related to Genghis, maybe… It came back to life.”
“Will Your Eminence join me at the Demon God Halls to find out?” Li Yi asked.
The demons became stronger, and Li Yi had long guessed that it must be related to Genghis. However, in order to let Aragon assist him in combat, he deliberately asked him.
Aragon was not a mere binary in some data. He was a highly intelligent NPC with strong mental faculties. He could behave with impressive savoir faire according to the relationship between both parties.
Aragon shook his head, “I can’t help you, I lack courage, my strength is not as good as you, I…”
Without waiting for him to finish, Li Yi walked out.
If he rejected when asked, then there was no need for the rest of his nonsense.
…
Li Yi did not go directly to the Demon God Castle but went to the Defiants’ Confederation.
The demons must be related to Genghis, but the knowledge alone was not enough. To solve this problem, he would need some helping hands.
After several months of hard work, Li Yi has now reached ‘Worship’ with everyone within the Defiants’ Confederation except the Mysterious Leader, but a player could only hire up to three mercenaries at a time. To hire a fourth guy, one must dismiss another.
Li Yi met with the Mysterious Leader and described the demons’ strength.
[The Mysterious Leader’s affinity with you has raised by 1 point!]
Li Yi said so much but the end result was only 1 point to their affinity.
The affinity of the Mysterious Leader was too difficult to improve. If it were not for Li Yi completing the test by Alleria which caused the entire Confederation to become ‘Friendly’ with him, the leader’s affinity for him would still be ‘Indifferent’.
“Can you help me get to the bottom of this?”
The Mysterious Leader shook their head.
There was no prospect of cooperation.
When the player had a good relationship with the Defiants’ Confederation, there was a certain chance to win the support of the Mysterious Leader if the player were to talk to the latter. If this happened, the player could hire all members of the Confederation at once and the effect would last for 24 hours.
Such an event’s triggering rate was not high, and it was only possible to trigger once in a month, so the opportunity was most precious.
As Li Yi turned, the Mysterious Leader suddenly uttered, “Tell me, if given a chance to destroy the demons in one fell swoop, what would you do?”
The voice was low and hoarse, deliberately made to conceal its true voice.
Li Yi gave a glimpse and replied: “Kill them all, of course.”
The Mysterious Leader went silent for a moment and sighed, “Even demons have good and bad ones. Don’t you think it too cruel?”
“I am not a demon, so I will not stand in the shoes of a demon.”
“Heh, perhaps.”
Ding!
[The Mysterious Leader’s affinity with you has raised by 200 points!]
Why the sudden enthusiasm? He could only increase his affinity by 1 point per conversation on each day. It was unusual.
Li Yi thought of something and forced a laugh, “Come to think of it, the demons are not so evil after all.”
“Oh?”
“Thousands of years ago, the Demonic Tribe was the indigenous people on the Pantheon Continent, living and coexisting with hundreds of other tribes. They loved and respected each other…”
Ding!
[The Mysterious Leader’s affinity with you has raised by 500 points!]
Li Yi’s baseless lies made the Mysterious Leader’s affinity toward him soared again.
500 points at a time, this was unprecedented.
“Loving each other, respecting each other… Does he mean what he says? That the demons are really capable…” The Mysterious Leader muttered.
This time the voice was neither suppressed nor hoarse, the voice was very soft and pleasing to the ear, the Mysterious Leader turned out to be a woman.
He could increase her affinity by spouting nancy stories?
Li Yi felt even more lively.
“Well yes! Those hundred tribes lived in harmony, and the Continent has flourished for tens of thousands of years until one day, the gods descended…”
“The gods!”
“Wham!”
The Mysterious Leader stood up frantically and the table in front of her was slammed in half by her palm.
“Please, continue. I… I would like to hear more about the history of the Pantheon Continent and the gods.”
“Very well.”
Li Yi nodded and expatiated at length.
During his fabrication of history, the Mysterious Leader’s affinity toward him skyrocketed, it soon rose to ‘Friendly’ and reached ‘Recognition’.
When Li Yi arrived at the point where he admonished the gods and lauded the demons, the body of the Mysterious Leader was trembling involuntarily.
[The Mysterious Leader’s affinity with you has raised by 2,000 points!]
[Relationship is now Adoration.]
By Jove!
A colossal lie made the hardest to impress NPC in the King of Pantheon to actually ‘adore’ him?
This was too much, Li Yi could hardly believe it.
“Human, you convinced me. Here, take this…”
The Mysterious Leader handed him a pass lacquered in black.
[Mercenary Summons (Consumable, can only be used once)]
[Summons 50 mercenaries as an aid in battle. Lasts for 24 hours.]
Success!
