Chapter 183: Who Told You to Fight?

They obtained the two Hall of Fame achievements with next to no effort. When the players from the Eastern Continent headed home, they did not come across any obstructions either, returning to the Abyssal Canyon Crevice safely.

There were still several hundred Engineered Cables suspended across the Canyon Crevice. However, just like before, when the Western Continent players who had been standing guard there saw the army from the Eastern Continent approaching, they made a quick escape.

“Looks like that Not Gray Wolf ain’t that popular around the Western Continent, huh.”

“Seems so. It’s already been this long and he hasn’t managed to call even a single supporter.”

When he heard what the others were discussing, Li Yi merely smiled and said nothing.

Although Not Gray Wolf was an *sshole, he still held quite a bit of sway on the Western Continent. The reason he could not get any help this time was probably because that Brother Windcloud Nine’s sense of justice as a knight was acting up again.

Brother Windcloud Nine was very honest and direct in his actions, staying absolutely true to his word. Even if he did not come out to explain, Li Yi knew without being told that Not Gray Wolf’s outnumbering and surrounding him was not his idea.

The core members of the Little Drunk Cat Guild rubbed their Return City Stones at the same time, returning to Shattered Frost City. Li Yi brought out the two pieces of gold-colored Summoner equipment that had dropped from the Ice Queen Instance Dungeon, distributing them to Chen Yang and Pretty Good Mood.

Chen Yang took the equipment, gave it a glance, chuckled once and then tossed it back. “Give it to Mood. He’s the Great Commander, after all, so of course, he should get it.”

“Give them all to my master. It’s not like I really need this equipment.” Pretty Good Mood tossed it back as well.

“Hmm?”

Li Yi looked at the two of them and could not shake the feeling that something was wrong.

“What happened? Why are you two talking so strangely?”

Chen Yang pursed his lips. “Nothing, nothing at all. What could have happened between us? Nothing, right, Great Commander?”

Pretty Good Mood nodded. “It is as you say, Master.”

‘Something’s fishy, something’s definitely fishy.’

Li Yi secretly messaged Fire Ice. “Ice, what happened between the two of them?”

“N-nothing.”

“Don’t try to hide it from me, I can tell that they’re both loggerheads.”

“They’re really… not…”

“If you won’t tell me, I’ll just ask someone else. It’s all the same.” Li Yi’s tone was forceful.

Fire Ice remained quiet for a long time before she finally explained what had happened between Chen Yang and Pretty Good Mood.

It was when Li Yi had been solo-ing Blade Frost Canyon. Pretty Good Mood led their party and beat the Death of a King dungeon, even though they died more than ten times and only managed to get through by the scrape of their teeth. In exchange for their troubles, they received a plentiful bounty of seven pieces of gold equipment and two pieces of purple equipment.

One of the purple equipment was for main tanks. Golden Gun Cannot Fall purchased it with 300,000 DKP, but since he only had slightly over 50,000 points, he paid for the deficit in Guild Points with cash. All the money went into the guild inventory.

The other was a Summoner’s set, Kris’ Mental Robe. Out of the entire party, only Chen Yang and Pretty Good Mood were Summoners. Therefore, the two of them began to fight over this piece of equipment.

Chen Yang wanted it so he immediately offered 100,000 DKP. Pretty Good Mood wanted it too, so he raised the price to 110,000 DKP. The two of them went back and forth with the prices, eventually leading to a conflict between them.

“I’ll pay cash!”

When Chen Yang raised the price to 500,000 DKP, Pretty Good Mood used his trump card.

“If you can afford it, then take it. I won’t have anything to say.” Chen Yang was infuriated too.

“Everyone is equal before the rules of the guild. If you say one thing and do another, how could you expect your subordinates to respect you?” Pretty Good Mood was getting slightly agitated as well.

There was no way the others could just stand by and watch them fight. They hurriedly tried to make peace between the two, but neither would give even an inch of way. The argument gradually escalated until thankfully, the video of Li Yi being surrounded by Not Gray Wolf and his men was posted onto the official site. When they saw that their Guild Master was in danger, they temporarily set aside their differences and rushed to his rescue.

“I got it, thanks.”

Li Yi’s temper flared in an instant.

“Who has the purple equipment now? Hand it over!”

Li Yi stretched out his hand.

Chen Yang turned his head aside. His expression awkward, Pretty Good Mood brought out the purple equipment and gave it to Li Yi.

“It’s just a piece of equipment. What the heck were you guys thinking?”

“My equipment sucks,” Pretty Good Mood argued.

Chen Yang said, “Mine ain’t all that great either. Why else would I fight you for it?”

“Take off all your equipment. Yes, I’m talking to you. Take off all your equipment and hand them to me. You got 10 seconds to decide. If you don’t comply, I’ll kick you out of the Guild and never accept you in again. 10… 9… 8…”

By the time Li Yi counted to 8, Chen Yang had already stripped off all of his equipment and tossed them at Li Yi. He knew Li Yi best and was perfectly aware that Li Yi was very capable of walking the talk.

Pretty Good Mood did not hesitate in the slightest either. He took off all his equipment and gave them to Li Yi, just 2 seconds slower than Chen Yang did.

“Tomorrow, you two will run the dungeons like this. When you finally understand, you can come to retrieve your equipment from me.”

Li Yi glared at the two men in their speedos and left with the equipment.

“Bro, leave me one piece,” wailed Chen Yang.

But Li Yi spared them no punches. Not only did he leave, but he also wrote a message on the World Channel saying that core members of the Little Drunk Cat Guild were running around naked in Shattered Frost City, and all who were interested to see this had to quickly join the show!

If they searched up the players throughout the town, they would discover Chen Yang and Pretty Good Mood almost immediately.

After all, the two of them had built up something of a reputation for themselves in King of Pantheon. If anyone posted their almost-nudes onto the official site, those pictures would definitely generate plenty of clicks.

Chen Yang ran to an equipment store to buy white equipment but was told that according to the Lord Castellan’s orders, he was not welcome in this city so they were very sorry, but their shop would not be doing business with him.

“Great, now everyone can see everything. Fine, take all the pictures you like and make sure they’re clear.” Chen Yang puffed up his chest in front of the crowd. With his personality the way it was, he did everything in extremes. Since he had already been humiliated anyway, he may as well do it all the way.

Just then, someone handed him a colorful floral outfit. Chen Yang raised his head and saw it was his disciple, the Great Commander Pretty Good Mood.

Although they could not buy any equipment in the city, Pretty Good Mood’s Backpack still had a few pieces of Attributeless Fashion-only dresses for women that had been dropped by the dungeon bosses.

Pretty Good Mood, wearing a red dress, said kindly, “Master, it’s still better than nothing.”

“…” Chen Yang remained silent for a moment.

The two core members from the Little Drunk Cat Guild instantly went viral. One was naked and the other wore a dress, so when someone posted their photos to the official site, the people who loved to gossip started yapping away once more.

“Do you see that? One’s naked and the other’s cross-dressing. What does that mean?”

“F*ck, I think you hit the nail on the head!”

“Hehe…”

Chen Yang and Pretty Good Mood had no more tears to cry.

In truth, they had both lost their tempers when they fought over that piece of equipment back then. Once their initial anger faded, both of them began to regret it slightly. However, if Li Yi had not blown up at them, neither of them would have been able to put down their ego and attempt to make peace.

It was just a piece of equipment, was it worth all this?

That night, both Chen Yang and Pretty Good Mood did not get even a wink of sleep. They thought it over all night.

The second day, Li Yi returned their equipment to them because they still had to run the boosting service. It was one thing to be angry, but allowing that to affect the workings of the guild was a completely different story altogether.

He gave them the purple-colored equipment as well and even told them to decide among themselves, but this time, both of them refused to accept it no matter what.

“So both of you don’t want it?”

“We don’t!” said Chen Yang and Pretty Good Mood in unison.

“Big Bun, c’mere for a bit.”

Li Yi called One Big Bun over and tossed the purple-colored equipment at him.

One Big Bun’s eyes lit up, and without Li Yi having to tell him anything, his hands flew at lightning speed. After a flash of colorful light, the purple-colored equipment worth tens of millions was decomposed into a pile of materials.

“I got 200 mastery points all at once! Boss, any more where that came from?” One Big Bun was so excited that even his round head was beginning to glow.

On the other hand, Chen Yang and Pretty Good Mood looked like they were about to cry.

“As long as we don’t fight among ourselves, forget one piece of purple equipment, we can get even 10 pieces, no problem. I don’t have to tell you that for you to understand it, right?”

“Right…” Chen Yang and Pretty Good Mood lowered their heads, as obedient as children in time-out.

“I’ve seen plenty of incidents where brothers become enemies all over the distribution of equipment. I don’t care what happens to others, but I don’t wish to see that happen to my friends.” Li Yi was getting slightly emotional.

In the past life, the trauma of his lost love made him think only of getting good equipment, such that he tossed everything else aside. Even now that his life had been reset, he still shuddered at the memory of those times.

Although this incident between Chen Yang and Pretty Good Mood was not anything serious, small matters could still escalate quickly, and the tiniest of embers could raze down entire plains. That was why he had to nip this in the bud.

After Li Yi left, Chen Yang and Pretty Good Mood looked at each other and then at the pile of precious materials that One Big Bun was playing around with. They sighed as one.

“If I’d known this would happen, I would have given it to you. I really don’t know what I was thinking back there. Master, sorry.”

“Sorry, my *ss. No matter how you slice it, I’m still your master, so what the f*ck was I fighting with you for? Great, now we both lost it.” Chen Yang looked at the pile of materials in despair, regretting it immensely.

Pretty Good Mood sighed. “Let’s go, the dungeon’s about to start.”

“Yeah…” Chen Yang replied.

Li Yi’s in-game house was expanding again.

As the Castellan, he could have kicked Archiemonde out and taken the Castellan’s residence for himself, but he refrained from it. The Castellan’s residence was a public area, and players were constantly walking in and out of it. Staying there would have been a nightmare.

Li Yi merely used his rights as Castellan to level his house up to Level 7. On the outside, it looked just like a villa, and on the inside, its space and functions had increased as well.

Putting aside all the other functions, just the mere fact that crafting items in his room would increase the success rate by 10% (limited to the owner only) already made for an extremely valuable attribute.

If Li Yi had not used the funds from Shattered Frost City’s coffers to create his house and had relied on his own money instead, it would take at least 15,000,000 Gold Coins for him to build a Level 7 house.

That was an astronomical amount!

Princess Sif held her crescent flute and continued to play it as though she were sobbing. The Mermaid Princess, Freya, had her eyes slightly closed as she lost herself in the music.

Princess Sif had wiped the crescent flute until it had shone. Even after so long, there was not a hint of damage on it.

“She’s even gotten a flute skill, but why won’t she give me a quest? Could it be that I still haven’t tortured her enough?”

Li Yi thought to himself in frustration as he looked at Princess Sif’s pitiful face.

“That man over there, could you do something for me?”

Just as Li Yi was feeling frustrated, a beautifully melodic voice reached his ears.

“Xu Man?”

Li Yi was slightly taken aback. As soon as he raised his head, he saw the Mermaid Princess Freya smiling at him.

“Ding!”
