Chapter 224: Past Life or Current Life

“Yo, Lord Castellan, you seem to be in a fine mood today. Your luck today must be extraordinary, why not put it to the test?”

The Equipment Reinforcement Master Kelly who was dressed in a skimpy outfit called toward Li Yi, waving her hand as she pointed toward the reinforcement furnace behind her.

Li Yi just smiled and walked straight to the reinforcement furnace without even acknowledging her. Without a second thought, he tossed Zangila’s Anti-Poison Belt into the furnace.

The reinforcement furnace started buzzing…

If one were lucky, they could get to +16 with just Reinforcement Rocks. However, luck was not a set constant, it was something intangible. The more you want something to appear, the less likely it would appear; conversely, the less you want something to appear, the more likely it would appear.

Li Yi felt like his luck was average, so every time he reinforced his equipment he would not rely on sheer luck. He would first get it up to +10 by throwing money at it, then continue raising it to +16 with the guaranteed success rate from the Wish Stones.

This time was no different. After spending 3,800,000 Gold Coins, Zangila’s Anti-Poison Belt was finally reinforced to +10. The next step was much simpler. Using four Wish Stones per round, he continued reinforcing it 6 more times, raising Zangila’s Anti-Poison Belt to +16.

[Zangila’s Anti-Poison Belt (purple quality)]

[Equipment Level: 60 (Type: All-class)]

[P-DEF 300+(500)]

[M-DEF 300+(500)]

[Max HP Limit increased by 3,000+(3,000) points.]

[Hidden Attribute Unlocked After Reinforcement: Reduces damage by 25%.]

[Special effect: Reduces poison damage by 50%.]

[Special effect: Increases poison damage by 50%.]

[Note: The only reason Zangila could retain a fraction of his sanity despite being heavily poisoned was that he had this belt equipped…]

In comparison to its pre-reinforced state, the attributes had nearly all doubled!

Although Zangila’s Anti-Poison Belt was not some uber-legendary item, to Li Yi, this equipment was one that he could use all the way up until Level 100. In addition to that, the thing he lacked right now was not ATK, but DEF. By raising the belt to +16, both types of DEF increased by 500 points, while HP increased by 3,000 points. Last but not least, the most overpowered part of this was the passive damage reduction, which was a whopping 25%!

Equipping the +16 Anti-Poison Belt, Li Yi’s HP instantly shot up to over 8,500. Even a main tank at the same level could not compare against this huge HP pool.

[A divine equipment was born…]

The system sent out a vague red message, instantly causing a stir amongst the players in-game.

Looking at this, Li Yi just chuckled before using the Castellan’s Teleport to leave this location.

“Jiaojiao, what’cha up to?” Li Yi sent a message to Jiaojiao.

“Carrying a friend.”

“Wind-on-Snow?”

“Yeah.”

“Where are y’all? I’ll tag along.”

Jiaojiao was speechless. After a long silence, she finally replied, “What did you say?”

“I said, let’s form a party, it’ll be quicker that way.”

“Am I hearing this right? Why did your attitude suddenly change so much? Did you fall for Lil Snow?

“That possibly might probably be true, I guess.”

“You playboy 1 , I’ve long seen through your true colors,” Jiaojiao said with a hint of jealousy in her voice.

“Where are y’all?” Li Yi just chuckled, he did not rebut against her statement.

“Heart of the Fire.”

“Give me ten minutes!”

Li Yi rushed to the Pinnacle of Fire and entered the dungeon. Soon enough, he had found Jiaojiao and Wind-on-Snow.

Although Jiaojiao’s technical skills were not top-tier, it was definitely not weak. Even at just Level 36, she could already solo-carry Wind-on-Snow to grind in this dungeon.

As soon as Li Yi joined their party, their dungeon grinding speed instantly sped up multiple times.

“So the big celebrity’s skills live up to his name.” Wind-on-Snow praised.

“Of course, he’s only a little bit weaker than me. But compared to you, he’s many times stronger.” Jiaojiao made a cheeky comparison.

“You really changed your mind?” Jiaojiao sneakily sent a message to Li Yi.

“Yeah, I want to go out with her. However, can you help me ask whether she’s a virgin or not?” Li Yi replied.

“Pervert, blegh!” Jiaojiao glared daggers at Li Yi as she dragged Wind-on-Snow aside, mumbling something into her ear.

A short moment later, Jiaojiao walked back and said straight to Li Yi, “Perverted Wing. Lil Snow just told me that y’all should just start as friends. As for all that stuff, leave it for the future.”

“What stuff?” Li Yi was confused.

“Going out as a couple! Can you not be so direct? Lil Snow is a shy girl.” Jiaojiao looked Li Yi in the eye as she answered.

Li Yi grinned at Jiaojiao before shouting out towards Wind-on-Snow, “Are you a virgin?”

Wind-on-Snow’s face instantly flushed red. She turned around, ignoring Li Yi’s question.

“If she’s not a virgin I’m out.” Li Yi shrugged at Jiaojiao.

“You… Bastard!” Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows. It was the first time she saw Li Yi act so shamelessly.

Looking at the increasingly awkward atmosphere, Li Yi chuckled and changed the subject, “Alright, let’s just start off as friends. We’ll leave all that other stuff, for another day…”

Li Yi took the initiative and sent Wind-on-Snow a friend request. After hesitating quite a bit, Wind-on-Snow finally accepted.

“Let’s go, big brother will bring you guys to play at another dungeon.”

Li Yi of his own volition led the party carrying the two girls. This was something Wind-on-Snow did not expect, even Jiaojiao did not see it coming. The difference from before and after was way too vast…

With an expert like the Level 63 Li Yi leading them, breezing through the Pinnacle of Fire dungeons were a piece of cake. It was much more efficient than when Jiaojiao was carrying. Within one afternoon, Wind-on-Snow gained 4 levels, and Jiaojiao gained 1 level.

At this point, Li Yi’s comments have become increasingly unfiltered. For example, he started asking Wind-on-Snow a lot of things. “Are your breasts C-cup?””It’s at most a B-cup, right?””How’s the feel, is it soft?””Is the bounciness good?” This left Wind-on-Snow completely flustered. All these questions were sent to her through private message, Jiaojiao could not hear a single word Li Yi was saying.

After one entire day of boosting, Li Yi finally went offline. Jiaojiao immediately asked Wind-on-Snow, “What do you think of Li Yi?”

Wind-on-Snow was still flustered. After stammering for a long while, she still could not find the words to say.

“What’s up? Are you into him or not? I personally feel that this guy isn’t a bad choice.”

“Jiaojiao, I think the two of you fit each other quite well…” Wind-on-Snow could not help but speak her mind.

“Tsk, me and him are more like bros…” Jiaojiao was still oblivious, she still did not know what had just happened.

“Sigh, whatever, this is only a game anyway…” Wind-on-Snow shook her head, deciding not to pursue the matter.

On the second day, when Li Yi came online, he offered to help Jiaojiao and Wind-on-Snow level up as usual.

On the third day, it was the same thing…

The three started to get to know each other a lot more. Eventually, Wind-on-Snow got used to Li Yi’s personality. As Li Yi continued to joke around in a carefree manner, she would just look on with a smile.

Jiaojiao was still playing the same role she played in Li Yi’s past life. She tried her best to push these two together. She would openly praise Wind-on-Snow in front of Li Yi, vice versa…

Li Yi also cooperated, often talking about their interests. As compared to his past life, the current Li Yi was much stronger. No matter if it was running a dungeon or grinding monsters in the wild, his power alone could match a 10+ man party.

Similar to the developments in his past life, Li Yi and Wind-on-Snow’s relationship slowly got closer. They were already at the stage where they started having public displays of affection in-game.

The realism of King of Pantheon was quite high. If the two parties agreed, even making love was possible, much less just cuddling.

“Oh right, I saw that your equipment’s attributes were nothing extreme. How are you still able to dish out this amount of damage?”

“That’s because my equipment is good. Look at this.”

Li Yi showed the attributes of the purple fishing rod to Wind-on-Snow.

“Can you unequip it and let me see?” Wind-on-Snow’s eyes started to sparkle.

“Take it.” Li Yi did not even hesitate. He directly handed the purple fishing rod over to Wind-on-Snow.

Wind-on-Snow looked at the fishing rod and praised, “A purple locked item. Amazing! This must be the grand prize from the Fishing Grand Prix, right?”

“Correct.” With a curl of his finger, the purple fishing rod disappeared from Wind-on-Snow’s hands and returned to Li Yi. This was the benefit of a locked item.

Li Yi looked straight into Wind-on-Snow’s eyes and said, “Do you know? No matter if it’s the past life or the current life, before or after that incident happened, your place in my heart will always be more precious than any equipment. Truly, as long as you say the word, I will give you the moon.”

“What did you say? What past life, what current life? How profound, I don’t think I understand.” Wind-on-Snow was completely confused.

“Even after seven years, I have not forgotten you. So much so that even when I had another girl who loved me so much that she would risk her life, I still treated her coldly, When she got hit by a car, I was still playing this game, When she fell sick, I was still playing this game. I didn’t dare to face her. I really didn’t dare. I was afraid… Afraid that your shadow might suddenly reappear… Afraid that she… She would become another you!”

“Dark Wing, you… Are you okay? What… What nonsense are you talking about?” Wind-on-Snow was horrified by Li Yi’s demented appearance.

“Trying to run away from everything. Not willing to face reality. Suspecting everything. Not daring to trust anyone…” Li Yi was still mumbling as if he was completely oblivious of Wind-on-Snow’s words of concern.

“Jiaojiao, come quick, Dark Wing is… He’s acting a bit weird.” Wind-on-Snow quickly sent Jiaojiao an urgent message.

“Whew… That’s out of my system.” Li Yi let out a deep breath, seemingly returning back to normal.

All these words were what he had always wanted to say to Wind-on-Snow. However, he, unfortunately, did not have the opportunity in his past life. Now that he had the chance, now that Wind-on-Snow herself was standing right in front of him, regardless of whether she understood anything, to him, being able to say all of this was enough.

‘If you kept some things pent up for too long, you’d eventually go insane!’

“Your demented state earlier scared me a lot!” Wind-on-Snow screamed as she repeatedly hit his chest.

“What’s going on?”

With a feminine shout, Jiaojiao had arrived.

“Let’s go, today I’ll bring y’all to an interesting dungeon.” Li Yi looked over at Jiaojiao, drawing her attention.

“What dungeon?” Wind-on-Snow asked.

“The 25-man dungeon, Windstorm Platform!”
