Ding!
Li Yi was chatting with Clutch King and the other two when he heard a message ring. With that, he put up his hand to signal to the three of them, then he opened the chat panel and saw a red dot beside the profile picture of his friend, Sun Conqueror.
Li Yi clicked into it.
[SC: Bro, did you set up your equipment at the auction? Can you sell it to me directly? Any price would be negotiable.]
“Hey, this guy, he actually guessed it right that I was the one that sold it.” Li Yi said with some surprise.
When Little Merchant heard Li Yi speak up, he immediately asked, “What’s wrong, who guessed what?”
“Nothing, it’s just an item that was auctioned off. Someone guessed that I sold it and wanted to buy it directly from me.” Li Yi waved his hand noncommittally and then pretended to be dumb as he replied.
[CD: What equipment are you talking about?]
On the other side, Sun Conqueror frowned when he saw Li Yi’s reply and scratched his head.
“Could it be that this guy really didn’t sell the equipment?” Although he was puzzled, Sun Conqueror was still unwilling to give up and sent another message.
[SC: Weren’t you the one that sold the equipment at the auction?]
Ding!
[CD: No, I actually wouldn’t have known if there was equipment being auctioned off if you didn’t tell me.]
On the other end, Li Yi directly denied everything. Of course, he would not foolishly admit that it was true either, this was because he did not want people to know that this shop belonged to him. If he did not say he owned it, the items sold here could be sold at a higher price and people would flock towards it.
At this stage, money was the most important item.
When Sun Conqueror saw the reply, he regretfully signed and replied.
[SC: Alright then. I was thinking that if you were the one who sold it, I could have just bought it from you. The competition between guilds in Emperor City is getting more and more intense. The Misty Rain Guild, the Holy Angel Guild, and many other small guilds are all fighting over various resources.]
[SC: Plus, our Scorching Sun Guild has been in conflict with the Proud Guild recently. It’s been giving me a splitting headache.]
Li Yi could not help but frown as he looked at the messages from Sun Conqueror. It had only been a short while, and his guild was already in such a state. Once the Guild Token appeared, they would have to fight for it until the sun comes up, it would be a disaster.
In Divine Revelation, if one wanted to establish a guild, they would need a Guild Token. Without a Guild Token, the guild system would not be activated. The so-called guild now would just be an offline guild with a title. In essence, everyone would be unaffiliated to that specific guild.
If Li Yi remembered correctly, the guild order would be obtained by a gold-quality Boss.
[CD: Is that so? Is that why you’ve been asking for my help? If that’s the case, just say the word, I’ll do anything. No problem]
To him, Scorching Sun Guild was going to be one of the top guilds in the future. Moreover, this guild had a good relationship with him and had helped him a lot. If they needed help, Li Yi would naturally not decline the offer.
When Sun Conqueror saw Li Yi’s reply, he got extremely excited.
[SC: That’s great news. Thank you for your offer, I appreciate it.]
[SC: However, there’s no need to trouble you about fighting for resources. Right now, the biggest issue I have on hand is that annoying Proud Guild.]
[SC: These past few days, quite a few of our members have been robbed and even killed by them!]
Li Yi looked at the message and narrowed his eyes, his expression turned slightly cold.
This Proud Guild was like the vermins that lived in the sewers of the city. They only knew how to carry out dirty deeds and fend for themselves!
[CD: Are you planning on retaliating? If you are, just let me know.]
[SC: I’ll make a move all right, but now I’m just waiting for the right opportunity. So for the time being, I’m still creating a long-term plan.]
[CD: Sounds good, then that’s it for now. I’ve said my peace. There’s no need to meet tomorrow and discuss things, right?]
[SC: Naturally.]
[CD: Alright then, I have nothing more to say, goodbye.]
[SC: Okay, bye!]
After ending the conversation, Li Yi discovered that three pairs of curious eyes were locked on him. Li Yi looked at the three curious people and shook his head as he explained.
“It’s the Proud Guild again! They’re getting more and more outrageous!”
After hearing this, Snow Chaser angrily smashed her small fists on the table. Snow Chaser had not forgotten how she had almost been cheated by this group of nasty people back then.
Clutch King frowned and said unhappily, “Isn’t the Proud Guild afraid of being attacked by a group of people when things get too far?”
Hearing Clutch King’s words, Little Merchant analyzed, “I guess they have some backup supporting them behind the scenes, which is why they do things and get away with it.”
Li Yi nodded and said, “Mm, there’s a high probability that there’s someone else is behind this. Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore.” Li Yi stood up. “I still have some matters to attend to, I know that you guys know that this shop is mine, don’t please tell anyone else.”
Hearing this, Clutch King and Snow Chaser nodded.
Before long, everyone dispersed.
…
Emperor City street.
Li Yi put Deaths Descent into his backpack and slowly walked out of the city. His equipment was too dazzling to the eye.
He wanted to get out of the city to look for a specific NPC. That NPC had a quest to open a level 20 city dungeon.
“F*ck… is this the number one player on the leaderboard, Carefree Dream?”
Li Yi’s luxurious equipment attracted the attention of all the players.
“This set of equipment is the sickest one I’ve ever seen. It’s too powerful.”
A player looked at Li Yi with starry eyes that were full of admiration.
“He’s a big shot, a big shot indeed! I’m so envious.”
“I wonder if this big shot needs a girlfriend, hehe.”
A female player could not help but speak up with a blushed face. The female player’s brazen words made many male players envious. They looked at Li Yi with even more admiration.
“Stop right there!”
At this moment, two men with gloomy faces stood in front of Li Yi. They sized Li Yi up and down, and the greed in their eyes was not hidden at all.
“Yes? What’s the matter?”
Li Yi looked at the two people in front of him and could not help but frown. Then, he glanced at their names. With that, his face immediately turned a little gloomy.
It was Proud Hall and Proud Willie.
Li Yi had just finished talking about Proud Guild with Sun Conqueror and was coincidentally stopped by said guild when he stepped out. It was really fate.
“Hmph!”
Proud Hall snorted coldly and said arrogantly, “Do you know who we are, kid?”
Before Li Yi could speak, Proud Willie — who was beside Proud Hall — continued on speaking, “We are the number one guild in Emperor City! We are from Proud Guild!”
When Proud Willie looked at the equipment on Li Yi’s body, his eyes lit up, and his greedy expression could not be concealed at all.
“The equipment you have with you ain’t bad at all. Take it off now, my Proud Guild would want it!”
Hearing his words, the surrounding players fell silent. A few seconds later, they looked at Proud Hall as if they were looking at a fool.
Li Yi looked at them coldly and said, “It seems that a dog truly can’t change its behavior.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yi did not want to waste any more breaths with them. His right hand formed into a fist, and his body flashed.
In an instant, he arrived in front of both players and smashed Proud Willie’s face!
The tremendous force directly dented Proud Willie’s face. He flew backward and rolled a few times on the ground in a sorry state.
“-2,318! Critical Hit!”
A string of numbers appeared above Proud Willie’s head. In an instant, his health bar was reduced to zero. Then, a ray of light flashed and his figure disappeared.
Next to him, Proud Hall widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide. He looked at Li Yi in disbelief. Then, his expression became ferocious. He said angrily, “Carefree Dream, how dare you! You dare attack the players in our guild! Our Proud Guild will never let you off!”
Li Yi snorted and threw another punch.
“-3,891! Vital Hit!”
In a few seconds, Li Yi sent the two members of the Proud Guild to the Resurrection Point. The surrounding players sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at Li Yi as if he was a monster.
He did not even need a weapon and managed to finish off a player with one punch…
Li Yi opened his attributes and saw that his name had already turned red. He secretly regretted that he should have let those two id*ots hit him first. Then, he closed his attributes and continued to walk out of the city as if nothing had happened. As he walked, it was under the respectful gazes of the players.
…
After Li Yi killed the two players from Proud Guild, they immediately went offline and went to the guild group to complain.
“What?! Carefree Dream, that b*stard, he actually dared to kill one of our people!”
After listening to the two’s rants, Proud Dali was furious. Then, he sent a message to someone.
[PD: Proud Chad, go to the world’s public forum and send a message over the loudspeaker. Say that my Proud Guild shall swear to kill Carefree Dream until he would only dream of never coming back to this game!]
[PC: Okay.]
After receiving the reply, Proud Dali’s expression became ferocious than before. He fiercely muttered to himself, “Just you wait and see! Let’s settle the old scores together!”
