MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks - Chapter 762

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Yi was no gangster, and though he really wanted to ‘teach’ Tyrant Sword King a lesson in real life, he gave up on the idea after giving it some thought.

‘Things that can be settled within the game, should be settled in the game’, that was Li Yi’s policy, and for Li Yi, handling Tyrant Sword King the Fifth within the game was an easy task.

Li Yi distinctly remembered that Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s family had opened a holiday resort called Shangri-La within King of Pantheon. Rumors said that the amount of money Wang Enterprise had invested in it was over ten billion.

There was nothing odd about it, for a game as realistic as Pantheon, opening a holiday resort was something that was highly lucrative, provided one possessed the funds to do so.

The structure of the Shangri-La Resort that Wang Enterprise had invested in was pretty unique. As long as players bought their VIP cards, not only were they able to do as they pleased in the in-game resort, they could also enter the franchise hotels located in various countries in the real world. In other words, the holiday resort that Wang Enterprise had created was the perfect amalgamation of simulation and reality.

In truth, however, ever since the creation of the nourishment chambers, the line between simulation and reality had started to blur. As such, from the moment Wang Enterprise had completed the resort and promoted it, its business was constantly flourishing.

It was a popular spot, and it made a ton of money.

Back in his past life, Li Yi had visited Shangri-La a few times because of Qian’er. As such, he was very familiar with the environment there. The thought of vandalizing the place had crossed his mind a couple of times in the past, but alas, he was alone and powerless back then. It was all he could do to imagine such a scenario, as he did not possess the necessary strength.

On the topic of Shangri-La, its business model was actually quite sketchy. ‘Women’ were the star attraction of the resort, and everything else, whether fine dining or any other resort-like stuff was just a cover for them.

‘Your humble servant awaits you, emperor~’

That was the catchphrase that Shangri-La Resort used in its advertisements.

Eager to join? No cash was required as they accepted Gold Coins as well. All in all, there were eighteen levels of membership, Silver Card Members, Gold Card Members, Platinum Card Members, Royal Purple Card Members… Basically, if you have money, you could be whatever you want!

From Li Yi’s various visits to the place in his past life, the memory that was ingrained most profoundly within his mind was the snow-white thighs exposed by the women there, coupled by the number tags attached to their bras that were made from thin fabric…

During the early stages of King of Pantheon, Wang Enterprise did not invest much money into the game. Initially, Tyrant Sword King’s father had only invested a small amount to test the waters. However, his expectations were quickly blown away, as they immediately struck gold upon their opening. Due to this, he decided to invest more resources into the game.

Shangri-La Holiday Resort was situated within the Fluttering Snow Continent, but it was not part of the neutral map. Instead, it was a part of a guild map. Since they had purchased the most advanced security system for the resort (it costs 500 thousand per day to maintain), entering it via brute force was not an option. Furthermore, since there was only one entrance, players would either need the permission of the managers or a VIP card to enter it.

It was absolutely safe, it had a wonderful atmosphere, and it was liberating, as such, it was named Shangri-La.

Shangri-La was the core of Wang Enterprise. Although Li Yi might have been powerless against it in reality, he had the utmost confidence he could deal a crippling blow to the business within King of Pantheon.

Li Yi was now acting on his desire to take down Tyrant Sword King the Fifth. Without consulting a single soul, Li Yi sneakily surveyed the development of Shangri-La resort.

In the next couple of days, Li Yi obtained the results of his investigations. At present, Shangri-La’s scale was still pretty average. It was clear that Wang Enterprise had yet to invest any funds into it.

After comparing the current timeline with his past, it was only a matter of time before Wang Enterprise would make the huge investment. Furthermore, their investment would probably coincide with his Emperor Quest, as he should be done with it within that timeframe.

Back to Hua Feihua, she was still logging in daily as usual. It was as if she was not impacted by the events at all, which had impressed even Li Yi. Her nudes were readily available throughout the net, but she was still as joyful and playful as ever.

‘Hua Feihua, you’re pretty carefree, huh…’

Meanwhile, Princess Huaiyu was not so carefree. She had been absent in-game for quite some time, and no one knew what had happened until news spread that Princess Huaiyu had attempted suicide and that she was now in the hospital…

Once again, Li Yi was flabbergasted. According to his perspective, the person who should have attempted suicide was Hua Feihua and not Princess Huaiyu. ‘Aren’t you too narrow-minded, Princess Huaiyu?’

However, now that he thought about it, her actions were not completely illogical. After all, she used to be a princess that constantly had a flock of men following her, but now that she had fallen from grace, would it not be too much for her?

Conversely, Hua Feihua should have no problems with the scandal. She had already been through so much, and she had survived way worse than a scandal like this, so why would she even be bothered by it?

As for Scumbag Wang, well, he had now made it a habit to pursue Hua Feihua every day. Speaking of which, what Li Yi found odd, was the fact that Hua Feihua was deathly afraid of Scumbag Wang, despite being unaffected by her photo scandal. The moment she spotted Scumbag Wang, she would immediately log-off, and if that was not possible, she would run as far as she could. She was adamant on having zero contact with Scumbag Wang.

About two to three days later, Hua Feihua once again sought help from Li Yi. However, as Li Yi was never one for these kinds of pleas, he found her troublesome and blacklisted her without batting his eyes.

Whenever someone asked what Scumbag Wang saw in a whorish woman like Hua Feihua, he would quietly answer,

“Love hurts, my friend.”

…

While waiting for Wang Enterprise to invest their funds, Li Yi had temporarily suspended all activities in Foreignland. He had dedicated all his time to running the Ancient King Series Dungeon to finish the Luo Lan Empire’s Hall of Fame Quest.

In a blink of an eye, four months had gone by, and Li Yi had gathered eighteen King’s Marks from all the 5-man small instance dungeons. He had also cleared the small instance dungeons in Heroic Mode, and as such, he had unlocked two of the secret dungeons.

After completing the five dungeons he had the most confidence in, Li Yi joined other parties to collect the remaining King’s Marks. With the firepower he possessed, he quickly became the powerhouse of every party he joined. Furthermore, with the knowledge he possessed on the various workings of the dungeons, even if the party he joined could not initially succeed, they still managed to come up on top in the end.

The Ancient King Series Dungeons had two 5-man secret dungeons, the first of which was called the City in the Sky, while the other was called the Lostland. They were publicly agreed to be Level 150 and Level 160 dungeons, and among the 20 5-man instance dungeons, they were considered to be the hardest.

After four months of leveling up, Li Yi had now raised his level to Level 145, whereas Jiaojiao and the others were slightly weaker, clocking in at around Level 130 each.

At present, the player who dominated the Level Rankings was none other than the Fire Wizard, Lonely Semi City, who was already at Level 151.

The way the players were right now, challenging the City in the Sky and the Lostland would prove to be quite difficult, as the monsters within were at least Level 150, which would easily crush the current players.

Unless players possessed sufficiently powerful equipment, they would definitely die upon entering them.

Within the four months, Li Yi had slain the Sixth and Seventh Demon Gods a couple of times and had gotten himself seven pieces of Demon God Equipment. Alas, none of them belonged to Archers, and as such, he was still equipping only three pieces of the Demon God Equipment.

However, his Holy Value had increased yet again, and at present, he was at 1,001 points. A value that would make even the Demon Gods shudder in their boots.

On Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s end, with the help of the Holy Infusion Scrolls, the highest possible Holy Value she had managed to reach was only around 300. Anything above that value had been a failure.

As for the Infuser in Karan City, the other players had discovered her existence. It was also no longer a secret that one could get Magic Gemstones from the Sixth Demon God. Nowadays, the number of players who swarmed into Foreignland was steadily increasing, and at present, the outskirts of Sin City had been heavily surrounded by the locust-like players.

As someone who had been reborn, all Li Yi could do was to act before everyone else. However, in order to stay the trendsetter, he must never stop, or he was bound to be overtaken by someone.

After all, there were over one billion players in King of Pantheon. Was it weird to have one or two geniuses?

Absolutely not!

While Li Yi was focusing on clearing the Ancient King Series Dungeons, he received news that there was a mystery person who would farm Deathwing every time it respawned, and each of his attempts was always successful.

At Li Yi’s current strength, he would have no trouble defeating Deathwing as well. However, he did not farm it as there was nothing he required from the dungeon. Since he was not interested in crafting an Ancient Equipment Set, why would he need to waste his time farming Deathwing?

Despite that, Li Yi was quite intrigued by the mystery person, and he sent Chen Lang to scout the person out for him. In the end, he got his answer.

It was the Legendary Summoner, The Mountain. He was the one who constantly farmed Deathwing.

“The reason Huashan was able to defeat Deathwing last time was because of the assistance The Mountain had provided them,” reported Chen Lang in detail.

“What method did he use to slay it? Did you manage to study it?”

Flustered, Chen Lang replied, “I can’t. It seems that… he solo-ed Deathwing.”

…

While the Legendary Summoner, The Mountain was busy solo-ing Deathwing, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut and her men were camping in Sin City to defeat the Fourth and Fifth Demon Gods.

The Fluttering Snow Alliance had completely ignored the Sixth and Seventh Demon Gods. Currently, the Fluttering Snow Alliance’s Elites had gathered around Foreignland, and their purpose was as clear as day. They would defeat the Fourth and Fifth Demon Gods to prove that they were not inferior to the Iron Alliance!

While Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was doing her best in Foreignland, Li Yi was also working hard in the Emperor’s Capital. He was more aware than anyone else of the importance of being a step before the others.

At present, Li Yi had already completed all eighteen of the small instance dungeons. All that was left was to claim the King’s Marks of the City in the Sky and the Lostland. Then, he would finally earn the right to enter the group instance dungeons, which was another step towards completing the Luo Lan Empire’s Hall of Fame Quest.

Since they were secret dungeons, the City in the Sky and the Lostland would only open twice a day, which was 12 p.m. sharp and 8 p.m. sharp. Although there was no limit to running the normal difficulty, players were only allowed to run the heroic difficulty once.

Just as Li Yi was planning for his attempt at City in the Sky, he received a message. The Ninth Continent’s powerhouse, Brother Windcloud Nine had successfully crafted an Emperor Equipment Set!
