“Don’t resurrect yet. If you resurrect more than five times in a row, you’ll be automatically sent to the temple, and you’ll lose a level.”
When he saw that Snickersnee had died again, Li Yi hurriedly sent him a PM to remind him.
If he went up to help now, he would only be running to his own death. Right now, he could not think of anything better to do, aside from reminding Snickersnee.
“Dark Wing? Why are you here?” said Snickersnee in complete surprise.
Li Yi said, “Save the questions for later. Once you resurrect, retreat backward. You can’t dig this mine, it’ll attract aggro.”
Snickersnee replied with an ‘oh’.His soul returned to his body, he was resurrected, and then he immediately retreated.
“I’ve already resurrected five times in a row, so if I die one more time, I’ll be forced back to the temple?”
Li Yi nodded. “Unless you stay alive without dying for the next two hours, you’ll definitely be sent back to the temple, and you’ll lose a level.”
Snickersnee said with a laugh, “I don’t really care about levels, but this mountain was way too hard to traverse. If I get sent back to the temple, I’m not even sure if I can make it back here.”
“How many mastery points do you have with your Miner class?”
“1240 points.”
“That’s still okay. If it was less than 1000 points, you would have come here for nothing. The crystal mines here can only be mined by Miners with 1000 points or more.
“Come with me, I know a place where you can mine safely.”
Back at the Novice Village, it was Snickersnee who led Li Yi around. Now the tables were turned, and Li Yi led the way for Snickersnee.
If they ran all over the wilderness on Inferno Mountain, it would only be a surprise if they did not die. The entire time Li Yi had been on the mountain, he had only gone to two fixed harvesting spots. It was slow going, but relatively safe.
It just so happened that there was a crystal mine between the two places where those herbs spawned.
“Inferno Mountain only has crystal mines. You can increase your mastery to 3000 points here, but the price of crystal ore isn’t very high. You just need to add a little when forging equipment. If you really want good ore, it’s best to go to Eastcloud Valley’s secret spot. Two types of rare ore spawn there, and they can be smelted into the best material for forging equipment in the early stages.”
Li Yi’s explanation had Snickersnee constantly nodding his head. Snickersnee was a player who had no interest whatsoever in grinding levels. Instead, his true passion lay in mining and forging.
“I got it memorized. But it wasn’t easy for me to get all the way up here, so I might as well raise my mastery while I’m at it. Once my mastery is high enough, I can mine more types of minerals, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Thanks.”
“Clang! Clang! Clang!”
Snickersnee swung his pickaxe, a mining progress bar appearing above his head.
Li Yi did not simply lie around, either. Once he saw that the patrolling Lightning Leopard had left, he immediately went and harvested the herbs.
As time passed, Li Yi’s mastery increased once more. When he reached 910 points, the red system announcement that he had been waiting for so long finally appeared.
[Congratulations to player Hua Feiwu for completing the Pinnacle of the Fire quests and successfully opening the Fire Pathways. System reward 200 points Reputation Value with various major cities obtained.]
[The Guild System has been officially opened to all. The prerequisites for starting a guild are: Player Level 15 and 5000 Gold Coins for the guild creation capital.]
The Pinnacle of the Fire Instance Group Dungeons were now open!
As he read the announcement written in red letters, Li Yi grew excited.
Frost Labyrinth was just a demo dungeon. The Pinnacle of the Fire Instance Group Dungeons were the true official dungeons.
Frost Labyrinth only had one boss, and its map was not very big either. However, among the Pinnacle of the Fire Instance Group Dungeons, any single dungeon would have at least five bosses.
The many combat styles, as well as party coordination, could be expressed to their full extent in the Pinnacle of the Fire Instance Group Dungeons. It could not even be compared to a demo dungeon like Frost Labyrinth.
The Guild Mastery of the Century Flower Guild, Dark Elf Wizard Hua Feiwu… Li Yi had never thought that the person to open the Fire Passageways would be him.
In the past life, Li Yi had once completed Pinnacle of the Fire’s series of quests, and he could still remember those OP quest monsters. At the time, he was already at Level 41, but when faced with those overwhelmingly powerful OP quest monsters, he still died countless times. In the end, he had no choice but to hire people to help him…
Right now, the highest-level player in the game was not even at Level 20. In order to open the Fire Passageways, what kind of price did Hua Feiwu have to pay?
Hua Feiwu was definitely a person whose ends justified his means. Li Yi’s impression of this man was much deeper than that of his friend, Old Green.
The King of Pantheon game demonstrated its potential from the very earliest days, and as more players joined the game, the game’s influence gradually increased as well. Finally, many large international companies also entered the game, some in order to advertise their own products, some in order to spread the company name. In other words, if you could just make your name known in the game, you could get whatever it was you wanted.
Hua Feiwu had always had rather decent equipment, but because the Century Flower Guild went around stealing other people’s bosses and tricking others, his guild had become a public enemy in no time at all.
In the second year of King of Pantheon’s operations, the Century Flower Guild was forced to disband. In that period of time, Hua Feiwu was reduced to a hated streetrat, one that everyone gathered to beat up. If he ever dared to leave the city, he would instantly be dismembered by an entire group. In terms of infamy, he was no better than Li Yi in the past life…
And yet, this was not the end of the story. To make things even worse, in order to obtain protection, he actually drugged his own girlfriend with his own two hands and gifted her to the Guild Master of a large guild, all so he could earn the right to enter that guild…
Although Li Yi had been a big cheater and enormous bastard in his past life, he would not be able to do something like this even if he was beaten to death. In his past life, he might have acted slightly cold towards his girlfriend, but forget gifting her to someone else, if anyone even touched her, he would be the first to rush the guy and fight with his life on the line.
To put it into perspective, Li Yi still had some semblance of a conscience, because he could still regret the mistakes he made. This Hua Feiwu, however, did not even know how to spell the word ‘regret’. Instead, he got progressively worse. After the first time he pulled off something like that, he began treating his girlfriend like a cash cow, constantly exchanging his girlfriend for equipment, for Gold Coins, for status…
‘Girlfriendgate’ was exposed by Hua Feiwu’s good friend, Old Green, and the truth that outsiders did not know was that he had taken nude 1 shots of his girlfriend and used the photos to threaten her into doing those things.
After that incident, Hua Feiwu obtained a new title, called King of NTR. 2
“Why isn’t the Big Cheater Dark Wing dead? Because the King of NTR, Hua Feiwu, is still alive…”
This was a famous saying that was widespread among the players in the past life.
“Compared to you, I’m a motherf*cking saint.”
This was what Li Yi could not help but say to Hua Feiwu when he killed him in the past life.
“You’re not much better than me, that’s the pot calling the kettle black…”
That was what Hua Feiwu said in reply to Li Yi in the past life…
‘I’m ashamed to be seen in the same company as this guy.’ This was what Li Yi had thought, and at the same time, Hua Feiwu was thinking the exact same thing…
…
Li Yi’s Harvesting Mastery successfully reached 1000 points, and now all he had to do was return to the city to look for the Harvester Skill Mentor. After that, he would be able to become a Beginner-level Harvester.
However, Li Yi was in no hurry to return. Instead, he stayed right there, continuing to increase his mastery.
It was not easy to make a trip here. Although the Pinnacle of the Fire Instance Group Dungeons were open now, not every player understood their secrets as Li Yi did. He was going to let the others go at it for a few days first. Once they were all familiar with the place, it would not be too late for him to join then.
Li Yi spent another day harvesting on Inferno Mountain, increasing his mastery to 1260 points.
Compared to Li Yi, Snickersnee was like a robot. Li Yi had never seen him log off, and whenever Li Yi logged in, he would definitely see Snickersnee mining over there, clang-clang-clanging away non-stop.
“Brother Yi, I’m being spawn camped at Eastcloud Valley.”
Just when Li Yi’s mastery reached 1320 points, Chen Yang sent him an SOS.
