The next day, Jiaojiao came online . Li Yi called Chen Yang and the rest over, gathering ten people to initiate the Curse Book quest .
The drop rate of Curse Book Part One, Part Two and Part Three was more scarce than rare . There were some large-scale guilds that sent out several hundred of their members to farm for months yet came up empty .
The Curse Book quest could be shared with members and the limit was ten people . There was no time restriction upon acceptance of quest . There was also no need to form a party and could be completed at will .
Jiaojiao logged out after accepting the quest while Li Yi went on his way to clear Curse Book's initial quest, Root of the Fall .
As the races differed in acceptance of the quest, the content was not similar . Amongst the ten, only Li Yi was of the human race . So naturally, he could only go about the initial quest alone .
The initial quest, Root of the Fall was simple . First, he needed to go through ten human cities and hear about the black and white bosses' history from the NPCs . He then just needed to continue on with the hints received on the way .
The history of Maseru and Margaret was never forgotten . Upon receiving this quest and conversing with NPCs regarding the names, the NPCs would inform so many of their deeds prior to their fall .
At least more than a hundred NPCs needed to be searched to pry on the history in these ten cities . Moreover, there was no notification of any kind once you left for another city . In other words, if you have forgotten to speak with an NPC, you would have to return to the city to do so .
The annoying thing about this quest was that if you forget to speak with one of the NPC, then you needed to make trips back and forth . Of course, this to Li Yi was nothing . As a famous solo player in his past life, he was quite familiar with the locations of the NPCs .
It had been two days and a half when Li Yi finally completed this initial quest .
System Notification: [You are now familiar with Maseru and Margaret's history . What do you think of their fall?]
Two options appeared before him .
[1 . Idiots who betrayed God]
[2 . Lovers who stopped at nothing]
With the difference in choice, came the difference in quest progression .
Li Yi chose the second option, lovers who stopped at nothing and obtained 1,000 points in Cursing Sect's Reputation Value .
If the first option was chosen, it would increase the Reputation Value of the Light Path . The quests that followed would consist mostly of vanquishing the cult . Choosing the second option would run the complete opposite route .
[A new quest, Darwin, the Hypocrite, has emerged . ]
[Quest content: Head to Church of Holy Light in search of Light Priest, Darwin and ask him the final story of Maseru and Margaret . ]
[Quest reward: 30,000 EXP, Maseru's Beloved Ring (Physical), Margaret's Silk Clock (Spell) (Pick one out of two items), and 1,000 Points of Cursing Sect's Reputation Value . ]
The Church of Light was situated at the Western Continent and the Abyssal Canyon Crevice was in the way .
He had already passed over 100 new Universal Keys to Fatty . Fatty had set out to Western Continent two days earlier to rummage through treasure chests in the world .
Li Yi rode on Crimson Tiger King to Abyssal Canyon . He then switched to Ice Toad King's powered-up super jump to leap over Abyssal Canyon's forty over meter-wide crevice .
Base on the legends, the Western and Eastern Continents used to be conjoined . During Ancient God Wars, Dragon Rider, Lord Augustus slew a foreign Devil General, causing the creation of this tens-of thousand-meter bottomless abyssal crevice .
The continents of North, South, East, and West were broken due to the battle and no longer connected . If Li Yi did not have Ice Toad King as a mount, he would not be able to leap over a crevice as long as this .
As the territories differed, players from the four continents experienced the game differently . The Pinnacle of the Fire was a specialty of the Eastern Continent . The other three continents would not possess this but rather a similar Instance Dungeon to Pinnacles of the Fire .
As he rode Crimson Tiger King on the Western Continent, Li Yi constantly kept guard .
The reason was simple . Currently, he was a foreigner in the eyes of the Western Continent players . No matter, if the person was famous or not, attacking him, would subject no punishment and instead be awarded Meritorious Value .
The Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Continents, apart from the North Pole (Northern Continent) being a public map, the remaining three continents were opposing player camps in Pantheon .
Different from Chen Yang rummaging through treasure chests, the treasure chest location map that Li Yi handed over to Fatty were remote places . Fatty needed to watch out when making leaps whereas he was faced with players from the Western Continent .
The Western Continent, The Land of Light . A milky white church appeared before his eyes . He had arrived at the Church of Light!
"A foreigner, kill!"
Li Yi had not set foot into the Church of Light yet when he heard a piercing scream . Over ten foreign players dashed out from the church . Blazing in Holy Light, countless Light Balls flocked towards him . These players were of Priest class .
Li Yi turned to retreat Crimson Tiger King yet the foreign players unyieldingly went after him .
"Pfft! Pfft!"
Li Yi fought back with a beautiful Chained Arrow Skill, killing one foreigner instantly and obtaining 1 Meritorious Value point .
"Man, this guy is good . Call more to come, call more . "
The foreigner players yelled out while continuing to charge at him . Their reaction had Li Yi between laughter and tears .
Judging by their equipment, their highest level was not even at Level 30 . It was impossible to inflict damage on him, even with group attacks .
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swishh—
A Penetrating Arrow move was struck and took down eight . These noob players must think that hiding behind each others' back was safe yet they did not expect an Archer's Penetrating Arrow could specifically tackle this .
The remaining few tried to flee but Li Yi caught up to them and strung a few shots, taking them down .
The top of his head displayed, 16 combo!
"I'm only doing a quest, was there a need for this?"
Taking this opportunity, Li Yi rode on his Crimson Tiger King to Church of Light .
The Land of Light in the Western Continent was a dangerous place for foreigners . There were three nearby human cities with at least several million players hanging by . He would not be able to resist if even a small portion of them were to gang up on him .
The quest has to be completed as soon as possible!
"The Light is my life . Honor the Light, believe in the Light and the Light shall grant you power!"
Light Priest, Darwin devotedly kneeled before the church and prayed to the Light .
This was his daily task .
Three female players stood behind Darwin in the Church of Light, listening to his preaches . Li Yi wasted no time and used only three shots to take them to the ground .
Upon killing them, Li Yi realized that there was no Meritorious Value . This meant that they were all beneath Level 10 .
"Er . . . Sorry about that . "
Li Yi walked up and started conversing with Darwin .
The danger of this quest did not lie on battling with Darwin but rather, the harassment from foreign players .
"Margaret? That stupid woman . She was willing to forgo the treatment I have for her in the name of chastity . She suffered a deadly fate in the end, sigh . . . Stupid woman . "
This background story of this quest was that Darwin, the Hypocrite fancied the beautiful and kind Margaret . Hence, he cast a forbidden Curse Spell on Margaret, forging a false front of being terminally ill . He then snuck into Margaret's room with perverted intentions . Margaret refused to comply and Darwin killed her in the heat of fury .
This led to the event of Maseru betraying the Light and joining the Cursing Sect .
"How did you find out about this? Are you trying to avenge that stupid woman? Dream on!"
Darwin flew into a rage . His pure white robe was enveloped with a layer of darkness as he struck an attack at Li Yi .
Darwin's true identity was a Curse Priest!
Darwin, the Hypocrite was a Level 30 quest boss . He was not an elite monster . With a mere fifty thousand HP, defeating him was not difficult .
Violent Bear King lunged forward while Li Yi launched Rapid Shooting . He consumed Fury Potion, accelerating at the fastest speed to kill Darwin .
The quest boss was easy to defeat but the foreigners were a trouble . Staying here for long increased the risk of danger .
Li Yi's damage was around 1,600 . Together with Violent Bear King, the ATK took a few seconds to reduce the fifty thousand HP .
"Damn! Even if I die, you will not be spared . "
Prior to his last dying moment, Darwin hurled a black ball at Li Yi, instantly causing him to feel dizzy .
[Life Sacrificial Curse]
[Effect: Target's level will temporarily drop 5 levels and class skills cannot be used for 12 hours . ]
This move could not be evaded . It was a compulsory hit .
Darwin fell onto the ground . Li Yi immediately went ahead to loot and obtained Darwin's Diary .
The quest was over . Time to head back!
Li Yi stormed out of the Church of Light and summoned Crimson Tiger King to return using the original route .
Return City Stone could not be used in foreign continents . Only when he was near the Abyssal Canyon Crevice, that it could be used .
There were already many foreigners running towards the Church of Light but Li Yi's Crimson Tiger King was so quick, regular mounts could not catch up .
It was quite dangerous to execute quests in places where foreigners populated .
Seeing no one hot on his trail, Li Yi was finally at ease . He was just contemplating about fooling around with a few foreign Instance Dungeon when a gold-colored shield swept in from the side, smashing onto him .
[Holy Shield's Pursuit: Holy Shield Paladin's specialty . A long-range attack by tossing their shield on target . It can inflict damage and throw target into a 5-second Dizzy mode . Skill cool down for 5 minutes . ]
A Paladin beaming in sparkling gold came out from the dark, swinging his hammer about .
"Dark Devour!"
Although Li Yi was under Life Sacrificial Curse and could not use any class skill, the special skills from his accessories were not under this restriction . He immediately dispelled the Dizzy mode and leaped away while firing an arrow at the Holy Shield Paladin .
Miss!
Li Yi landed and took another jump, firing another arrow .
Miss!
"F*ck!"
With two continuous misses, the Holy Shield Paladin returned the favor . Li Yi's feet had not even touch the ground when he was hit with Holy Shield Paladin's Shield Impact .
[Shield Impact: Similar to Warrior's Muscle Rupture, a 50% SPD deceleration is applied to the target, in addition to damage . Skill cooldown period of 20 seconds .
"Clang!"
Li Yi was smacked three to four meters away by Shield Impact . His SPD was reduced to half . He was moving as slow as a snail .
"I have long heard of an Archer who rides a Crimson Tiger King in the Eastern Continent . And today I learned that he is just trash that kills alt accounts . "
Holy Shield Paladin snorted, lunging forward while swinging his hammer .
Li Yi was finally able to take a good look at this Holy Shield Paladin . His heart sank .
F*ck, how did he cross paths with him!
