Chapter 366: A Piece of Equipment

Outside the Celestial Capital, no one dared to get up again. The corpses piled up, leaving only the Undead milling about everywhere.

Li Yi drove as the three women got off the tank. What ensued perplexed the Southern Continent players even further.

Those fearsome Undead did not even look at the three women, allowing them to wander around as they pleased on their mounts. It was as though they had no intention of attacking the girls at all.

“They’re in cahoots with each other…”

Whether they believed it or not, a Southern Continent player finally yelled out the truth.

They were picking up the dropped equipment…

Jiaojiao and the others went harvesting for a good long while before they finally returned to the Arrow Tower, satisfied.

They did not pick up a single piece of good equipment, but collected a large pile of average ones.

“Ding! Ding!”

Li Yi’s inbox rang, and he opened it. It was a mail from Arthur.

The letter was very long, but it basically meant that Arthur wanted a truce.

If this went on, forget three days, Arthur’s Empire would not be able to get past the Arrow Towers even after thirty days. Hence, Arthur’s intention were quite simple. He asked Li Yi to state his conditions, and as long as they were not too much, Arthur would agree to everything.

Li Yi ignored him completely and sat there in the tank, chatting to the three girls.

His inbox rang again, but Li Yi did not even look at it. Instead, he turned off his mail system completely.

He had made up his mind. No matter what Arthur offered him, he was not going to stop!

Three hours later, Arthur rallied his troops once more and charged toward the Celestial Capital.

He had gathered even more people this time, but Li Yi was still unfazed. Wielding the Undead’s Necklace of Natural Disaster, he created Undead endlessly.

Although Arthur had guessed where Li Yi was, the Arrow Towers meant that he could not approach Li Yi, so what was the point?

“D*mn it, we need two more months to craft our Guild Tanks! D*mn it, d*mn it all!”

Arthur was furious, but faced with the endless army of Undead, there was nothing he could do but throw a tantrum.

The Southern Continent Throne-claiming War changed thanks to the efforts of one man, Li Yi!

The official forums exploded again.

There had been many wars recently, and the person who stood out the most amongst them had to be Li Yi, without a doubt.

Night Moon failed to claim the throne, as did Arthur, but Li Yi alone had succeeded.

The three-day Throne-claiming War ended, and Li Yi brought the three women back, laden with gifts and completely unharmed.

Li Yi’s actions completely turned the future of the Southern Continent on its head.

Internal conflict broke out amongst the ranks of the Arthur’s Empire Guild, with many accusations all aimed at Arthur.

It was too devastating a defeat. The Southern Continent had several million people there, but they could not even stop one mere Archer. Now, this incident was known throughout the Pantheon world, and every Southern Continent player felt ashamed, as though this was a personal affront.

In order to stop Dark Wing, several Great Wizards all above Level 60 had sacrificed their preciously limited maximum HP to cast Forbidden Spells at the Arrow Tower area, but in the end, he remained completely unscathed.

They were just too far away. The Celestial Capital was large enough to fit several hundred million players, so merely a few Beginner-level Forbidden Spells could not travel that far at all.

This internal strife shook Arthur’s Empire to the core. Arthur lost control completely, refusing to admit that it was his own lack of ability. Instead, he pushed the blame to everyone else.

They did not concentrate fire, he said. They did not listen to his orders or obey his commands…

Arthur’s accusations turned many people off. Halfway through the post-war meeting, eight of the guild’s core members simply left.

The next day, several hundred elites announced that they were leaving Arthur’s Empire, and the guild that had seeing its most glorious days suddenly suffered a heavy blow and took a dive.

The Southern Continent’s Throne-claiming War only benefited one person.

Dark Wing!

To Li Yi, it did not matter if he became famous or otherwise. The most important thing to him was that Arthur must not be allowed to become King.

That b*stard had to be pulled up by the roots.

The secret that Li Yi was using the Undead’s Necklace of Natural Disaster could not be contained, so the Southern Continent’s players signed a petition to protest, claiming that the Pantheon officials had to give them an explanation. The impact of this movement was so vast that it exceeded even the Pantheon officials’ expectations, and in the end they had no choice but to publicly reveal the Undead’s Necklace of Natural Disaster’s attributes.

It could create Undead creatures endlessly as long as there were corpses. When the players saw the Undead’s Necklace of Natural Disaster’s attributes, they lost their minds once more.

“That’s not fair, this equipment grievously violates the game’s balance! We ask the officials delete it!”

The Southern Continent players teamed up to submit another letter of protest with a million signatures, asking that the officials give them an explanation.

“The Undead’s Necklace of Natural Disaster are merely average among the Pantheon game’s special skills. As your levels rise, you will find equipment with attributes that far surpass this necklace’s.”

After the officials gave the players that reply, they quickly announced the attributes for 10 pieces of special equipment, effectively shutting the Southern Continent players up.

“Ridiculous, that’s f*cking ridiculous…”

“That’s… that’s…”

All the players who saw the attributes for those 10 pieces of special equipment immediately shut up, because without exception, every single one of those pieces of equipment were a hundred times more OP than the Undead’s Necklace of Natural Disaster.

Immediately after that, the Pantheon officials pulled another surprising move.

Starting from the next day, the level requirements for all dungeons were to be abolished. From now on, all dungeons no longer had level restrictions. Even Level 1 players could run any dungeon as they pleased.

The Master-Disciple system was now live!

Traveler’s Tale ¹ Quest was now available!

The Pantheon officials struck while the iron was hot and caused another ruckus…

If the dungeons had no restrictions, players would level up much faster, so this was definitely good news to newbies. As for the Master-Disciple system, it was praised by countless players as soon as it was announced.

The reason for that was very simple. Once a disciple recognized a master, the disciple would obtain EXP as long as they were online while their master ran a dungeon. According to the official introduction, this meant that even if the disciple did not do anything at all, as long as their master was diligent enough, the disciple could still level up faster than if they farmed monsters every day themselves.

The Traveler’s Tale quest was also a source of the frenzy. It could only be done once every seven days, but it awarded plenty of EXP as well as a Great Tale Gift Pack that granted players a certain chance of receiving one of the ten recently unveiled types of special equipment.

The ten types of special equipment with even better attributes than the Undead’s Necklace of Natural Disaster.

Was it no wonder that the players lost their minds once that announcement was made? Everyone wanted one or two of those law-defying pieces of equipment.

In an instant, all the players forgot about Li Yi, that OP player.

Even Li Yi was shocked by the Pantheon officials’ actions. He knew all about them removing dungeon level requirements, the Master-Disciple system, as well as Traveler’s Tale, but he never thought that the Pantheon officials would speed up the game’s updates so quickly in this life.

The progress of the game seemed to have been brought forth by half a year…

This time, the Invincible Continent’s Military Advisor, Li Yi, once more kept up with the trends. As soon as the Master-Disciple system went live, he immediately accepted two disciples.

One was an Archer named Fang Jie, and the other a Summoner named Pale Blue Elegance.

The racer girl, Pale Blue Elegance, had finally joined the game. Her name had not changed, and neither had her class. For that, Li Yi was quite glad.

“At first I wanted to call myself Butterfly Blue, but I never thought that someone else’d already taken the name. That’s why I had no choice but to take this name,” said Pale Blue Elegance.

With his two disciples’ blessings, Li Yi led the Iron Alliance’s elites into Dragonbone Waste.

The war was over, but the Light and Darkness Instances were not done yet.

The army moved into the 200-man group dungeon, Light Conference!
