After he accepted the quest to uncover the Shattered Frost City brigands disguised as civilians, Li Yi needed only five minutes to seize 17 bandits .
This was a quest with a time limit . Once the quest was accepted, many brigands disguised as civilians would appear in Shattered Frost City . The time limit was ten minutes . The more bandits captured, the higher the rewards . Capturing one was enough to complete the quest .
If one was not familiar with the quest, a whole day could pass without them capturing even one, much less ten minutes . Only Li Yi who was a player who did not clear Instance Dungeons but rather, levels up on quests could see through bandit-capturing quest that clearly .
"Good job .
"These bunch of brigands dare to sneak into this city to commit crimes .
"You have done well .
"I now order you to escort them to Wind Capital and hand over to Constable Xing to handle . "
Soldier Captain praised him and gave Li Yi 3500 EXP and 170+17 points of Reputation Value . He then announced the following quest to escort the brigands to another major city of the Human race, Wind Capital .
Shattered Frost City and Wind Capital were not far apart . It was only an hour away on foot .
The follow-up quest after capturing the bandits was completely random . It did not happen all the time and the reward upon completion was generous with 5000 EXP, 500 points of Reputation Value and a Soldier's Honorable Gift Pack .
Li Yi escorted these 30 brigands on their way .
While on the road, the brigands begged for mercy and wailed to Li Yi for their release .
"Sir, please forgive us .
"Constable Xing is most hateful of bandits .
"If we fall into his hands, we'd rather be dead than be alive . . . "
They were bound together by a rope . The vitality displayed above their heads displayed as 10/10 (Wounded status) . One wrong move and they could perish so no one dared to escape .
Li Yi did not bring the brigands along the main roads . This was to avoid interfering players from disrupting . These brigands have red name statuses . If players were to hit them, they would not receive any punishment .
Li Yi loosened the rope .
"Alright, you can leave now," Li Yi clapped his hands .
The band of brigands glanced at one another . No one dared to move . In the end, a bandit called Second Brother Zhang plucked up the courage to ask, "S-Sir . . . Are you re-really letting us go?"
"Yes . "
The rope was completely loosened and the HP on top of the brigands' heads began to recover .
"Thank you, Sir . . . "
The bandits dispersed in a hubbub and ran out of sight .
System Notification: [You have obtained the gratitude of Pinewood Brigands . Relationship turned from Aggro to Indifferent . ]
He finally completed the first step .
Li Yi rode on Crimson Tiger King and returned to Shattered Frost City .
King of Pantheon was high in terms of freedom . One could choose to play any part among the forces . A soldier, a merchant, a bandit, a thug . . . As long as one could imagine, King of Pantheon could make it happen . This was also one of the attractions of King of Pantheon .
Pinewood Brigands belonged to Special Camp . They were not attached to any forces and only obeyed the orders of their brigand leader .
Any player could kill them . Without an in-depth knowledge of the game, one would not figure out that a relationship could be built with the Pinewood Brigands .
Releasing the brigands only cost a reward loss due to quest incompletion . It did not pose any effect apart from this . And to win the favor of Pinewood Brigands, this was currently the only way .
Capturing before releasing, releasing before capturing until the affection was raised to Friendly .
The brigands-uncovering quest could only be done once a day and the chance to receive the follow-up escort quest was not high so there was a need to have patience in raising the affection of the Pinewood Brigands .
The change from Aggro to Indifferent meant that the brigands would not proactively attack Li Yi any longer .
Li Yi walked into the Castellan's residence to accept a new quest .
To bring villains to justice!
A quest could only be completed in a day . Only by obtaining the major city's Adoration and five Pantheon Hall of Fame that one was permitted to access the quest .
"Take down the Frost Labyrinth Lord, Ordas and bring me his crest!"
The quest was random with the difficulty varying in range . Li Yi had Lady Luck with him and received the easiest quest . He remembered that in his past life, he continuously received the same quest for half a year to kill the Black Dragon, Ferrian and retrieve its Dragon's Heart . It really riled him up .
Of course, the more difficult the quest, the higher the rewards . However, as long as the quest was completed, a Soldier's Honorable Gift Pack would be given (On the condition that the person has an official position . Those without one would receive a Major City's Reputation Gift Pack . )
Li Yi was not lacking in Reputation, EXP or money . What he was lacking were Official Position Points . He made haste to Frost Labyrinth Instance Dungeon for the Soldier's Honorable Gift Pack .
"Fatty, anyone here who needs carrying in Frost Labyrinth? Add them to my party, I will carry them at once . "
He still needed to clear the dungeon whether it was solo or with a party of five . He could use this opportunity to carry a few newbies .
Arriving at the entrance of Frost Labyrinth Instance Dungeon, the four newbies had waited for a long time . They were three males and one female . The three males were unfamiliar faces while the female Dwarf Wizard looked familiar to Li Yi .
[Please Call Me Uncle Tang has joined the party . ]
[Cloud Latte has joined the party . ]
[Fengruo Qianghua has joined the party . ]
[Lin Yu'er has joined the party . ]
Lin Yu'er!
Looking at the female Dwarf Wizard, Li Yi's eyes widened .
In his past life, he kicked Lin Yu'er out in Frost Labyrinth Instance Dungeon . As a result, Lin Yu'er sought Delicate out . Delicate instigated Dark Empire to hunt him down . . .
But, the timeline was not right . Why did Lin Yu'er participate half a year ahead of schedule?
What was more, when did she join Little Drunk Cat Guild?
Li Yi pulled Chen Yang and Fire Ice to a private chat .
"Fatty, Ice, who took in the female Dwarf Wizard?"
"I took her, Brother Yi, yesterday . What's wrong? You know her?"
"Nope, I'm just asking . "
Li Yi exited the private chat and waved his arm at the four newbies . "Let's enter the dungeon . "
Who would have thought they would meet again? He recalled that how he hated her to point of raping her in his dreams . Cough cough, his thoughts started to go the wrong way due to his inability to defeat the Dark Empire gang during that time . . .
But the hatred Li Yi harbored for Lin Yu'er was long gone in his past life .
When Li Yi was thriving, this Lin Yu'er was also playing but she was often ambushed by Li Yi . Basically, each time Li Yi saw her, he must kill her at least once .
Lin Yu'er gradually stopped playing . Her equipment was not that great, she was not a team player, she was killed throughout the entire day . She had a bad temper and refused to comply with anyone . She could not survive in the game .
Li Yi found out in later days that the day Lin Yu'er cleared the Instance Dungeon with him, she intentionally picked fights and was looking for a punching bag . The reason was that her boyfriend broke up with her in real life .
She was dumped . It was no wonder .
Ever since he found out about this, Li Yi harbored no ill feelings towards her .
Lin Yu'er had an ordinary appearance . Her beauty was far from Delicate, not to mention, Jiaojiao . The difference was like night and day .
Li Yi steamrolled the way, without needing any help from the four newbies . He used a few minutes to attack Frost Giants so that they obtained more EXP . He specially reeled Frost Giants near Ordas to exterminate them altogether, playing at a higher difficulty mode .
"You lot just roll on the equipment and distribute . I'll leave first to attend to some matters . "
Li Yi looted the crest from Ordas' corpse before rubbing a Return City Stone . His avatar disappeared .
A few newbies were long awe-stricken .
"He carries faster than Guild Master Tall . . . "
"Yeah . . . How freaking awesome . "
"My idol has revealed himself!"
Lin Yu'er frowned but did not make any comment .
Li Yi returned to the Castellan's residence to finish the completed quest . He received 3000 EXP, 100+10 points of Reputation Value for major cities and a Soldier's Honorable Gift Pack .
But this time, luck was not on his side as he only managed to roll five Official Position Points .
"Beep!"
It was during then when the sound effect from a PM sent by friends was heard . Li Yi checked on it . It was from Snickersnee .
"I was fishing outside the city earlier when I heard two people talking about killing you . "
"Killing me?"
Li Yi was stunned .
"These two, one was named Single Handsome Man and the other, Perverted Brother were talking about some Hua something Hua person ordered them over .
"They were fishing at the other side of the bank so I didn't manage to get a good earful of their conversation . "
"Got it, thanks . "
Although Li Yi was not bothered by it, he still thanked Snickersnee .
Li Yi was currently on the rise . Those who wanted to kill him were too many but up until now, no one has succeeded .
Leaving Castellan's residence, Li Yi rode on Crimson Tiger King and intentionally made rounds in the city . It was not long when he sensed someone was following him .
He leisurely left Shattered Frost City where he then flashed his brightly-colored red name .
The two Thieves were watching Li Yi close by under Stealth mode . They were in heated discussion .
"Be careful, Sister Hua said his ATK is quite high . It would be hard to take him down if he detects us . "
"Once this mission is over, you take the front while I'll take the back," Perverted Brother licked his lips .
"You sick bastard . "
Single Handsome Man spat at Perverted Brother . He held his dual blades in a reverse grip and quietly crept over .
They both were Explosive Thieves, causing high damage in an instant and were most proficient in sneak attacks and assassinations .
"Titter—"
Single Handsome Man stepped on Freezing Trap and his Stealth mode was canceled . He immediately froze into an ice sculpture .
Li Yi looked as though he was walking at random but was actually meticulously selecting an arena . There was a narrow path ahead . The Freezing Trap he placed there could be concealed .
"Twang!"
"Twang!"
Chain Arrow Skill was shot . Single Handsome Man was killed in a second .
"Careful now, this fella is good . . . " Single Handsome Man warned Perverted Brother but once he released his soul, he realized that Perverted Brother's soul quickly followed .
"How did you die this quick?"
Perverted Brother was baffled himself .
"You tell me . I just saw that you were frozen and then I blacked out and ended up here . "
An ambush in turn which had them killed instead . It was a mysterious death that held much resentment .
"Let's go and resurrect together .
"We'll go into Stealth .
"I don't believe he could have killed us both at the same time!" Single Handsome Man's eyes were glaring with an ominous glint .
Two minutes later, Single Handsome Man and Perverted Brother's souls returned to the temple once again .
"F*ck, he could hit me even in Stealth . "
"Looks like I won't be playing the back now," Perverted Brother moaned .
. . .
