When Scumbag Wang assumed the position as the Casten of Wind Capital, it caused numerous people to move houses. The NPCs moved and so did the yers. Within a short period of a few days, Wind Capital which was initially unimaginably prosperous turned into a ghost town with a sparse poption.
Unlike Wind Capital, Shattered Frost City’s poption suddenly skyrocketed, but there was nothing they could do about it. Who could they me for locating these two cities within the nearest distance from each other?
Recently, the number of guilds that applied for sieges had surpassed more than several thousand within a few days. Although everyone knew that the odds of sess were not in their favor, they still harbored traces of wishful thinking in their hearts. They hoped that some minor bugs or something like that would appear in the System again so that they would have a good chance of taking the Casten’s position in one go.
In the end, all of the guilds failed. After experiencing Scumbag Wang’s incident, the Systemunched automatic repairs that patched all of the bugs and loopholes that could ur.
There were no more bugs to exploit.
On the other hand, Scumbag Wang’s circumstances were not very desirable either because his only Casten right that remained was Patrol. Presently, other than the ability to move back and forth throughout Wind Capital instantly, there was nothing else he could do.
It was irrelevant that he did not have several million Gold Coins because even if he did, the System would not permit him to repair the major city as hecked that Casten’s right.
On the third day of Scumbag Wang’s upation of Wind Capital, Star Fireunched a siege against them.
The side that initially took the city would be allocated with a recuperation period for one month that prevented anyone else from attacking them but as the result of exploiting a bug, this rule became ineffective.
All the members of Huashan Guild stood before the city gates and calmly faced Star Fire’s attack.
During the altercation between these two guilds, 59 people from Star Fire died while Huashan Guild was eradicated.
Star Fire Guild had just gotten rid of Huashan Guild’s members but had yet to even charge through the city gates. Vice Casten Leghar led the weakened NPC soldiers forward to intercept them but after a bloody battle, it was Star Fire Guild’s turn to suffer total annihtion...
“If we had known earlier that the NPC soldiers could help us, why would we still block off the city gates like goalkeepers? Go and level up, brothers!”
When he saw how impressive the NPCs were, Scumbag Wang did not even guard the city anymore. Instead, he led a group of his Weak Red Name subordinates and leveled up on the Outskirts map.
The power of the NPC soldiers had weakened tenfold but the strength of the original Casten Leghar had not declined. He still had 90,000,000 HP and the scariest part was that he had a unique skill that allowed him to repeatedly summon new NPC soldiers to support him as long as he did not die.
Star Fire Guild suffered a crushing defeat during the siege and this oue automatically made the other guilds temporarily abandon their intentions of attacking.
...
In four days, Li Yi had sessfully advanced to Level 44 and ranked first on the ranking board. Lonely Semi City had already advanced to Level 41 while the other yers were too far behind. Other than the person at second ce who had reached Level 39, the rest of them were all Level 38 and below.
The distance between them was increasing little by little.
After ncing at the date, Li Yi stopped leveling up temporarily and returned to Shattered Frost City.
As King of Pantheon’s most popr event, the once in a year Fishing Grand Prix would be held tomorrow, he returned to prepare for that.
Other than themon quests, there were also numerous festive activities in King of Pantheon. As long as one couldplete them, the rewards that they obtained would greatly exceed those that they would normally receive.
For instance, the rewards of the yearly Fishing Grand Prix were extremely abundant. Thus, they were loved not only by the yers in the lifestyle ss but also by the yers in the purebat ss.
Anyone could enter it. Only 1 Silver Coin was required to sign up and they would be rewarded just by entering. As long as they could stay on thepetition’s main map for 3 hours, they would receive a reward of 1 Gold Coin without even having to do anything.
They would not necessarily obtain 1 Gold Coin after 3 hours if they went out to farm monsters on the Outskirts normally while the Fishing Grand Prix did not require them to do anything. It did not matter even if they did not want to go fishing because it was fine as long as they stood on the map. They would receive a Gold Coin once every 3 hours while a multiplier of one would be added to their number of Gold Coins once they had received it more than 3 times.
Of course, the rich yers did not care about the quantity of Gold Coins, but the items that they could obtain by entering the Fishing Grand Prix were enough to drive them crazy.
Li Yi informed his guild members and stated that those who could enter the Fishing Grand Prix definitely had to participate because they would have to wait another year if they missed this opportunity.
Li Yi had given an impassablemand to people like Fire Ice who, simr to Chen Yang, had a pretty good rtionship with him and said that they certainly needed to go.
“Brother Yi, I’ve seen the rewards of the Fishing Grand Prix on the official page. The reward for first ce seems to be an All-ss Weapon Purple-colored Quality fishing rod while second ce is a gold rod, third ce is a green rod, and the others after that are all blue rods. I haven’t discovered any other better items?”
“The bags, dummy.”
Chen Yang checked the official page once again and finally found the bags that Li Yi was talking about.
[Tattered Treasure Bag: Rare item that only drops on the special water area maps where the Fishing Grand Prix is being held. It can randomly produce different types of valuable items such as equipment, gems, Treasure Maps and so on.]
“What could appear in this?”
“Purple-colored equipment.”
“I’ll return to the city immediately!”
...
Li Yipleted fishing quests for half a day and obtained arge amount of fishing bait. He also spent 100 Gold Coins and bought a blue fishing rod with +10 fishing skill before he ran outside Shattered Frost City and stood beside the moat to practice the Mastery of his fishing skill.
Increasing his Fishing Mastery was fairly easy because his Mastery would increase by 1 point each time he fished an item sessfully. As his Mastery increased, so would the probability of fishing a good item.
Soon, Fire Ice also brought one of the mostmon white-colored fishing rods and joined the team. Shortly after, Moonlight Ocean had apanied them as well and the three of them stood beside the river and fished together.
Ever since Old Li Flying Dagger fell from the ranking board, Moonlight Ocean was not seen for a long time too. Li Yi fished while considering Moonlight Ocean carefully. The more he looked her up and down, the stronger the suspicions in his heart grew.
On the surface, Moonlight Ocean and the mysterious girl in ck who was the leader of tinum Hand looked exactly alike. Simrly, they both belonged to the Thief ss and wore ck clothes and a mask. The most important part was that both of them seemed to like using the typing method to chat. The mysterious girl in ck was slightly better because she had spoken a little before but Moonlight Ocean who was before his eyes had never even said one sentence before and had always been typing as a means tomunicate with others.
There was another point. When Moonlight Ocean was online, the mysterious girl in ck would definitely be offline and vice versa.
Could it be that Moonlight Ocean was the mysterious girl in ck? Li Yi’s heart stirred when he thought of a n.
Li Yi said, “Ocean, are you free tomorrow?”
Moonlight Ocean nodded.
“Then we should form a group together and enter the Fishing Grand Prix tomorrow.”
Moonlight Ocean nodded again.
“Then... Then what about me?” asked Fire Ice on the side quietly.
Li Yi stared nkly for a short while before he smiled and said, “Together with you, of course.”
Li Yi messaged Ye Yingbing again and said, “Your leader is away, right? Can you contact her? Tell her that we’re forming a group with her to enter the Fishing Grand Prix tomorrow.” Li Yi pondered before adding, “This is my request so if your leader can’t fulfill it, my requests will double next time.”
“Alright, I’ll inform her when shees upter.”
It was settled.
The bobber shook violently at this moment and Li Yi spared no effort to pull it before he managed to fish out a broken box.
System Notification: [You open the box carefully. To your surprise, there’s apparently a Half-bottle of Wine left inside.]
[Half-bottle of Wine: Misceneous item, type: trash.]
Li Yi simply flung it away.
Since his Mastery was still too weak now, he could not bring out the strength of the Wind-battered Fishing Hat at all.
Fire Ice’s bobber shook as well. As Fire Ice cried out in rm, an Armored Crocodile that was over five meters long was dragged up.
Li Yi and Fire Ice came forward together and killed the Armored Crocodile quickly.
Situations like these would easily appear when one’s Mastery was low...
“Hi!”
On the other side of the moat, a bare-chested youth who was fishing rushed towards the three people and greeted them. When he raised the fishing rod in his hand, a Red-whiskered Grass Carp was hooked upwards.
This was the oue of a normal Fishing Mastery.
When Li Yi saw the bare-chested youth, he immediately smiled broadly and said, “Snickersnee,e over and join our group.”
Snickersneeughed happily and suddenly dove before plunging into the water. When he emerged, he had already approached the trio.
Inparison to Li Yi and the two others, Snickersnee’s fishing skills were worth being called as Ultimate Moves because he would definitely obtain something when he cast his rod. If it was not a fish, it would be an item, and this made the trio look at him with a gaze of extreme admiration.
In the King of Pantheon game, other than the items that were clearly indicated as “trash”, every other item had its uses. For instance, the Red-whiskered Grass Carp which was one of the fishes that could be hooked would produce a result of a 5 point increase to one’s own STR that couldst for 30 minutes when it was directly used. Meanwhile, for the yers in the lifestyle ss who were experts in cooking, the braised Red-whiskered Grass Carp dish would result in an automatic 20-point increase of their own STR that couldst for 1 hour.
“Snickersnee, remember to form a group with us to join the Fishing Grand Prix tomorrow.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t forget,”ughed Snickersnee before he lifted his hand and obtained another Red-whiskered Grass Carp.
Li Yi fished while browsing the official page.
Although the first Fishing Grand Prix had attracted the interest of numerous yers, it had still yet to reach the extent where the entire poption wanted to participate in it. Many people rushed towards the reward of 1 Gold Coin every 3 hours but their idle and casual attitudes meant that they were simply prepared to stroll around once and did not have any intention of entering thepetition at all.
When he saw the posts on the official page that were written by numerous yers who wereining about this trashy event, Li Yi neverthelessughed but remained silent because he knew that once thepetition started tomorrow, the yers who cursed the fishing event and called it trashy would automatically shut their mouths.
The aspect of the Fishing Grand Prix that was really attractive was definitely not the purple-colored fishing rod, but that unassuming Tattered Treasure Bag instead.
...
The next day, the Fishing Grand Prix officially began at exactly 10 o’clock in the morning, in-game time.
The System’s red-words-spam appeared and all of the online yers received a message that said, [Enter the Fishing Grand Prix?]
[Yes, No.]
Li Yi selected “Yes” immediately before he was teleported to thepetition venue, one of Pantheon’s Seven Secret ces, Water World.
Li Yi appeared on a small ind that was surrounded by boundless waters. As more and more yers were teleported here, the small ind was suddenly filled with people.
As the number of yers increased continuously, the size of this little ind in the middle of the waters began to mysteriously erge ordingly.
As the number of people increased, so did the size of the little ind. These strange changes made the yers exim in shock again and again.
“F*ck, why are there foreigners?”
“These people y Pantheon too?”
“No way, there are people from ind nations as well?”
“F*ck!”
As the number of people who were teleported here increased, the chaotic noises between the yers started bing louder as well.
Anyone could enter the Fishing Grand Prix and it was naturally not limited to only one continent. On the contrary, all the yers from three continents would participate in the contest together.
Most of the people did not even know that the Pantheon game also existed in another three continents. Thus, they were immediately shocked when they saw the blonde-haired, blue-eyed people and the ck men.
Was there any need to be so surprised when the King of Pantheon ran throughout the entire world?
Li Yipletely ignored the foreigners and quickly ran to the edge of the ind before sitting in a boat.
The System’s red-words-spam appeared at this moment.
[yer Wind-chasing Godkiller has opened a Tattered Treasure Bag. To their surprise, they discover that an ancient scroll is stored inside. A ray of golden light shoots out and shrouds Wind-chasing Godkiller’s body. After waiting until the golden light has shed away, Wind-chasing Godkiller is pleasantly surprised to discover that their Skill Points have increased by 1 point.]
[yer An Yi has opened a Tattered Treasure Bag. To their surprise, they discover that an ancient scroll is stored inside. A ray of golden light shoots out and shrouds An Yi’s body. After waiting until the golden light has shed away, An Yi is pleasantly surprised to discover that their Skill Points have increased by 1 point.]
Damn! How were they so quick?
Li Yi invited his friends to get in the boat and increased his speed while rowing towards the depths of the waters.
