This time, Li Yi held still and allowed Jiaojiao to clamp down on him as she pleased. She automatically released him when she was finally satisfied.

“You…Why did you stop struggling?”

Li Yi remained silent and had hugged her even tighter.

“There won’t be a next time.”

A cold chill went down Jiaojiao’s spine as she shuddered, “That’s so mushy, it doesn’t sound like something you would say.”

“PANTS OFF! I’ll get you today, no matter what!”

Li Yi’s face took on a distorted expression as he grabbed onto Jiaojiao’s shorts and forced her onto the floor. After being dazed for three seconds, she finally screamed and pushed him away, clutching her luscious hips as she turned tail and ran.

“Hahaha…”

Seeing Jiaojiao panic as she fled while holding onto her shorts had sent Li Yi bawling with laughter.

He had really planned on doing it with Jiaojiao, but her words had persuaded him otherwise.

“You left without telling me anything. I tried to dial your number, but you had turned your phone off. What am I to you?”

‘What am I to you?’

‘Yeah, what did I think of her after all this time?’

Li Yi scratched his head and descended into deep thought.

During the afternoon, Li Yi mustered up his courage and went to Jiaojiao’s house for lunch.

Although Jiaojiao’s mother was absent, Li Yi did not perform any lecherous acts on Jiaojiao. Instead, he ate his meal like a normal human and returned home as soon as he was done.

He put on his controller glasses and went back online to continue his mastery grind.

After half a month of leveling, Iron Alliance were finally able to select fifty or so elite parties that were qualified to take on group dungeons. Pretty Good Mood had followed Li Yi’s strategies during the past few days and had attempted the Light and Dark Instances’ first group dungeon, Light Conference.

Not only did Little Drunk Cat’s first team of the Elite Party had amazing equipment, but they also had an abundant supply of support items. To top it all off, the team also had great coordination. Within a few days of taking on the dungeon, they had already successfully slain the first boss.

Pretty Good Mood’s progress report was the first thing that reached Li Yi when he came online.

“There were 89 casualties in total, and the boss had dropped a piece of purple-colored equipment, 10 pieces of gold-colored equipment, and 32 pieces of green-colored equipment. Furthermore, there were some materials such as …”

“Good work, keep it up!”

Li Yi gave a simple command to Pretty Good Mood.

He was well-versed with the various tactics to defeating Light Conference, but his party mates did not. Thus, he decided to familiarize the first team of the Elite Party with the dungeon’s tactics.

Li Yi checked the first team’s name list, only to observe Invincible Jiaojiao’s name was included. Astonished, he exclaimed, “Jiaojiao had made it into the first team huh?”

Pretty Good Mood replied, “Yeah, she made it in by her own merits. Her performance within the dungeon was also pretty impressive, I think she has the potential to be a top-tier expert.”

“Her? A top-tier expert?”

Li Yi was stunned. An image of Jiaojiao riding on Undead Military Horse that spurted vulgarities while waving a greataxe flashed across his mind…

“I always had a great eye for this sort of stuff. Guild Master, lady Jiaojiao is the real deal.”

“Alright, whatever you say…”

Although Pretty Good Mood’s technical skills were nothing to brag about, his eye for talent made up for it. He was a great commander and his ability to bring out the talent in others were nothing to scoff at. Li Yi had respected this side of him ever since his past life.

Li Yi continued to refine more potions. After one whole day, he had burned through 1,500,000 Gold Coins’ worth of materials and had finally brought his Apothecary to the Grandmaster-level.

[Grandmaster Apothercarist’s additional skill: Life Blood. Effect: Replenishes 5,500 HP within five seconds. Cooldown time: Five minutes. Furthermore, Grandmaster Apothercarist’s efficacy when consuming medicine is increased by 50% regardless of the time and place.]

Not only were the additional effects improved, but the efficacy of all the Grandmaster Apothecarist’s potions were raised by an entire tier.

Master Apothecarists could only raise the success chance of refining potions. However, the skill was replaced with increased efficacy of refined potions when they advanced to the Grandmaster-level.

As an example, an ordinary low-leveled HP potion would restore a fixed amount of 300 HP. However, if the same item was refined by a Grandmaster Apothecarist, an additional 100-500 HP would be added on top of its base amount of 300 HP.

The efficacy of all potions had been raised! This was the privilege of becoming a Grandmaster Apothecarist!

Li Yi took a deep breath and produced another 500 bottles of Divine Essence Potion.

The Divine Essence Potion that was refined by a Grandmaster Apothecarist had better effects. Naturally, the enhanced Divine Essence Potions were domestic products, and would only be sold within the Iron Alliance at a reasonable price. Outsiders were out of luck as they would be unable to procure it, regardless of how much they offer.

Li Yi had spent an entire day raising his Apothecary level, whereas Little Drunk Cat’s primary secretary, Fire Ice had spent a similar amount of time listing down the nitty-gritty details of the Iron Alliance’s elites.

Li Yi was deeply moved when the weary Fire Ice handed in the personnel statistics.

The only reason he saved Fire Ice was to prevent the tragedy that had befallen her in the previous life. However, never in his wildest dreams would he think that Fire Ice would become one of Little Drunk Cat’s core members.

She had earned it all by herself.

The personnel statistics were very thorough. Their names, gender, levels, equipment, and various other details were listed clearly, giving a sense of simplicity to the reader. If Li Yi had overseen it, even eight to ten years would be insufficient for him to complete the task…

“Thank you, Fire Ice.”

Fire Ice smiled faintly, “I am the number one secretary of Little Drunk Cat, after all, it’s my responsibility.”

As he observed Fire Ice’s gentle and soft face, a thought surfaced within his mind. ‘If there’s a matter, I’ll leave it to the secretary; if not, I’ll f*ck the secretary…’

‘Huh, what was I thinking?’

Li Yi cast off the unhealthy thoughts and began to cook up a strategy based on the Personnel Statistics.

“Oh yeah, Fire Ice, please keep an eye out over these few days. We’re going to take in two new members, one of them is called Mind Kill and the other one is called Pale Blue Elegance.”

“Noted!”

Fire Ice had left the room and Li Yi was left to his own devices within the Castellan’s residence.

He had tried to add Mind Kill and Pale Blue Elegance numerous times, only to receive a system notification that stated [Player does not exist.]

‘What the h*ck are the doing? Did something happen that prevented them from entering the game?’

Li Yi wanted to give them a call but decided against it in the end.

He had already said and did everything that should be done and yet, they still had not entered the game. He feared that calling them would result in the same outcome.

Li Yi left the Castellan’s residence and went to look for Katrana.

The Black Dragon Princess had infiltrated Shattered Frost City for quite some time now and had issued many frustrating quests during her stay. She had harmed countless players and there were hundreds of complaints lodged against her every day. The contents of the complaints were roughly the same; requesting the Castellan to chase her away.

The female human Wizard Katrana was the disguise of the Black Dragon Princess Onyxia. Although Li Yi did not condone the malicious NPC’s acts, he had to endure it, in order to make her his mount in the future.

Katrana was standing near Kelly and was giving out frustrating quests all day long.

“Greetings, Lord Castellan. Katrana offers you her sincere regards.”

Katrana bowed down and greeted Li Yi when she saw him coming over.

‘Her name is still green, no changes here!’

Li Yi inspected Katrana and was relieved at what he saw.

When the name of a monster that pretended to be an NPC did not change, it signified that its intentions had not changed. At the very least, it had no intention of leaving the main force currently.

“How’s life here? You holding up well?”

Li Yi used his ‘golden’ words for NPCs on Katrana.

“I appreciate the Castellan’s concern. I am currently doing well.” Katrana was flattered and her affinity for Li Yi had risen by one point.

“Alright, don’t hesitate to approach me if you require anything.”

“May the Dragon God protect you.” Katrana was moved beyond words.

Something flashed across Li Yi’s mind, and he asked, “Dragon God? Great Wizard, your faith is kinda rare.”

“Really? Hehe…”

Li Yi did not probe any further because he saw the name above Katrana’s head flashing, indicating that she was on high alert.

Li Yi turned around and prepared to leave, only to be stopped by Katrana.

“Lord Castellan, I have a request.”

“Speak!”

“Not long ago, I was assaulted by several Black Dragons when I passed through Black Rock Mountain. Unfortunately, I had lost my ancestral Dragon Ring. Lord Castellan, could you accompany me as I look for it?”

Ding!

[Do you accept Katrana’s quest?]

A system notification had popped out. He stared at the ‘confirm’ button and after mulling it over, he decided to press ‘cancel’ instead!

He had rejected the quest.

Katrana sported a look of disappointment as she shook her head, unhappy. She walked back to her original spot and ignored Li Yi.

Li Yi would definitely accept the quest if it was issued by another NPC. However, he could not accept Katrana’s. It would mean the start of an ordeal if he had accepted it…

‘Black Rock Mountain’s ancestral Dragon Ring? Scr*w you! You’re the Black Dragon Princess and your brother’s there too! By my estimates, your brother has already respawned as it has been a while since we’ve last gone there. I’ll be digging my own grave if I go there now!’

Li Yi left the city on his Horned Griffin.

Three Major Guild Alliance was currently at war with Iron Alliance. The flames of war were spread throughout the Eastern Continent and as the leader of the Iron Alliance, how could he just sit idly by?

The elites of the Iron Alliance were forbidden to enter battle, but not him.

Li Yi took out the small roulette, Divine Mirror and zoned in on a target called — Defiantly Tyrannical!

A purple light enveloped the surface of the Divine Mirror and a messaged appeared.

[Target: Defiantly Tyrannical. Area: Eastern Continent. Position: Barren Land. Coordinates: 121441: 224444. Current Status: Dead…]

‘He was currently dead?’

Li Yi was startled. After determining the direction, he flew towards Barren Land.

Barren Land.

Defiantly Tyrannical lay on the floor and a hundred or so corpses of members of Tyrannic Dynasty laid beside him.

“What goes around comes around as Karma finds its way. If you don’t believe me, just look above and see who the Almighty has forgiven!”

“This is your retribution!”

The ground was littered with corpses and the players from Tyrannic Dynasty were all dead. Only a girl with red tights was left standing as she pointed down at Defiantly Tyrannical’s corpse and passionately denounced his crimes.

It was the female thief — Bloody Rose!
