MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

Achievements were a fascinating aspect of the game. When the achievements first began appearing in the game, players called this facet of the gameplay a pain in the balls. There were all sorts of crazy achievements, and completing every achievement in the game was a Herculean task.

Some of the tasks were extremely easy to complete, such as the ones that required killing monsters. When a player killed 100 monsters for the first time, they would receive the Cutting Teeth achievement. At 1,000 kills, they received the Rising Star achievement, and when they killed 10,000 monsters, they would obtain the Bloodletter achievement.

Other than monster-killing achievements, there were countless other achievements that players could obtain without killing any monsters. For example, having the player’s character do 100 handstands would earn them the Upside-down Man achievement. Exploring the world map with one’s character granted the Geographer achievement. Getting killed by the same player more than ten times would give the achievement titled simply …, whereas getting killed by the same player more than 100 times granted the Stay Away from Me achievement…

There were various types of achievements, professional ones and unprofessional ones. In the previous life, King of Pantheon had run for eight years, but there were still countless undiscovered achievements. That just showed how vast the achievement system was.

There were three types of achievements in King of Pantheon. Firstly, there were Normal Achievements which did not reward anything upon completion, and were mostly used simply to increase the achievement tally. Next, there were the Reward Achievements, which were comprised of many different individual achievements. When each of these was completed, the player could obtain the final reward. The third category consisted of the Glory Achievements. These were the hardest to complete, usually requiring ridiculous control skills and even more ridiculous luck. These achievements gave a reward upon completion, and each achievement was its individual unit.

…

[Congratulations! You have attained 500 achievements. As an additional reward, you will receive SP +5 and all of your character’s attributes will be increased by 1.]

Not only did Li Yi obtain a Glory Achievement, One Turn Kill, without quite knowing how, he even obtained an extra reward for reaching a total of 500 completed achievements.

“Jiaojiao, what did you do…?” Li Yi gulped and asked once more.

All of the trampolines had collapsed, and he could not use flying mounts in this dungeon either, so Li Yi had absolutely no idea what Jiaojiao had done in there.

“Haha, I killed the boss with one blow and even picked up a red casket.” Jiaojiao’s cocky tone reached his ears, and Li Yi’s jaw dropped.

“You actually killed the boss? That can’t be right, why wasn’t there an explosion?”

Li Yi looked around in confusion. Aside from the fact that the trampolines were gone, the rest of the dungeon was still pristine.

“Take the red casket and let’s get out of this dungeon!”

Li Yi left the dungeon, and Jiaojiao soon followed suit.

“Open the casket.”

They opened the red casket, and three purple-colored items appeared before Li Yi’s eyes.

[Cardiac Pacemaker Model V5 Blueprint]

[Automated Repairs Vending Robot Number 3 Blueprint]

[F66 Aircraft Blueprint]

“That’s three blueprints. Are these things any good?”

When she saw that there was not any equipment, Jiaojiao was slightly disappointed.

On the other hand, Li Yi was frozen…

“Perverted Wing? Perverted Wing? Hey…” Jiaojiao waved her little hand in front of Li Yi’s eyes. Li Yi returned to his senses and then hugged Jiaojiao, kissing her madly.

“Stop, stop, ptooey-ptooey-ptoeey! Don’t… Mmrgh… Don’t poke your tongue… Mrgh-mrgh…”

Jiaojiao had to put all her strength into it before she managed to shive Li Yi away. After that, she threw the three blueprints to the ground and ran away.

“…How could you throw away such precious materials…”

Li Yi picked up the three purple-colored blueprints, his face blossoming into a grin.

Without a single exception, these three purple-colored blueprints were the rarest, most precious, and most practical products in the entire field of Engineering.

The Cardiac Pacemaker Model V5 had a base success rate of 10%, which was much better than Model V1’s 2% or Model V3’s 4%. Put that together with Li Yi’s Legendary Master Engineer multiplier, and the success rate could reach as far as 70%.

In a critical moment, this could be a lifesaver!

The Automated Repairs Vending Robot Number 3 was also very powerful, since it could be used whenever and wherever. Having this robot was equivalent to having a mobile shop with the player at all time. Not only could he buy some common items with it, he could even repair his equipment and access his mailbox.

The F66 Aircraft Blueprint resulted in the mightiest flying mount that the Engineer class could craft. The F66 Aircraft could carry 5 people at once, and it was also armed with two Energy Cannons. If he could create this, it would be the most powerful weapon for ambushing cities!

These were the rarest of rare items. Of these three purple-colored blueprints, Li Yi had seen many Cardiac Pacemaker Model V5 Blueprints and far fewer Automated Repairs Vending Robot Number 3 Blueprints. As for the legendary strongest fighter jet, F66, he had only heard about it, but he had never seen one with his own eyes.

Was it any wonder that he was excited? In fact, he was beside his mind in his exhilaration, and that was why he grabbed Jiaojiao and kissed her all over.

Li Yi clapped his hands together and learned all three purple-colored blueprints. The next step was much simpler; all he had to do was find the necessary materials, and he would be able to craft the actual items.

“Come here, I won’t kiss you anymore. Quick, tell me, how did you beat the dungeon?” Li Yi was still utterly bamboozled.

“It was easy. I just kept jumping and taking treasure chests, and the more I took, the more energy I gathered. Then I went past one door after the other, and eventually I ended up in front of some High Tinker Torqa. I just knocked into him, and he died instantly.”

“…” Li Yi was even more confused now.

‘So this is the legendary One Turn Kill? Urk… That’s just unbelievable.’

“C’mon, let’s re-enter and try again.”

“We can try again?” Jiaojiao was excited.

“We just have to pay a little fee, and we get unlimited tries.”

“Yay! That’s great, this time I wanna take all the treasure chests before completing the dungeon!” Jiaojiao swung her arms, raring to go.

Li Yi gave her a big thumbs-up. “Damn, you sure are a top-class tramp.”

“F*ck off!”

The two of them entered the dungeon. This time, Li Yi did not wait at the entrance. Instead, he followed closely behind Jiaojiao and watched her fight.

“Boing! Boing! Boing!”

As soon as Jiaojiao began trampolining, she demonstrated her amazing prowess. Without pause or hesitation, she picked up every treasure chest along the way and zoomed forward.

Li Yi tried desperately to keep up and had to use his cloak’s Fly special technique just to keep to her pace without taking any treasure chests.

After Jiaojiao took some treasure chests, her body glowed with a red light. Suddenly, she leaped up high into the air, and with an elegant bark in mid-air, her body shot forth like an arrow.

“Ding-ding-ding-ding…”

She took an entire string of treasure chests, and Li Yi was stunned just looking at her.

“Bang!”

The path ahead opened automatically. She passed through without even having to activate any mechanisms.

“That’s bad*ss!”

Jiaojiao continued to press forward without missing even one treasure chest. Once she had gathered enough energy, she released it as a blast that propelled her left and right. Li Yi practically did not know where to look.

There were no bugs involved. Jiaojiao won on pure skill!

They reached the 100-meter dash stretch. As soon as Black Steel’s alarm rang out, Jiaojiao shot forth and crashed into High Tinker Torqa, killing the High Tinker on the spot.

A red casket fell out from Black Steel’s stomach, and another achievement window popped out.

[Congratulations! You have completed the Super Trampoline 250 Instance Dungeon and obtained a Glory Achievement, No Chest Unturned. Achievement reward: SP +10!]

Right here and now, Li Yi had absolutely no words left to say.

“Wahahaha, whataya think? Ain’t I OP?” Jiaojiao weighed the red casket in her hand, her expression conceited.

Li Yi was speechless. “…”

They opened the red casket again and obtained three more purple-colored items.

[F66 Aircraft Blueprint]

[Titanium Axle]

[Titanium Frame x5]

“Is that good or bad?” Jiaojiao ventured.

Li Yi remained silent. “…”

It was not particularly good or bad. Li Yi had already learned the F66 Aircraft Blueprint, so this thing was no longer of use to him now, naturally. However, the Titanium Axle and Titanium Frames were good drops. He would need them when he was attempting to craft the aircraft and the robot.

“The drops this time were meh. Let’s leave the dungeon and try again!”

“Alright!”

Li Yi and Jiaojiao left the dungeon and began to farm it infinitely…

The Super Trampoline 250 Instance Dungeon did not have a cooldown period, and it was extremely difficult to pass. If it were not for Jiaojiao’s monstrous skill, they would consider themselves lucky to complete the dungeon once within two hours.

Li Yi calculated the time. They could complete it once every 20 minutes…

If the player picked up every treasure chest before completing the dungeon, they would also naturally obtain superb rewards. Initially, Li Yi had only brought Fire Ice here to try their luck, but now he realized that even without a single ounce of luck, he could still reap every nice reward this dungeon had to offer…

It was simply a matter of time. As in, he just had to give Jiaojiao some time.

“Jiaojiao, why are you so good at tramping?”

“Ptooey, why does everything sound weird coming out of your mouth? I’m telling you, not only am I a pro at Super Mario, I’m great at Tetris too. I was even number one in the world once, and the hardest level ain’t nothing to me.”

“Huh… Really? You?”

“Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”

“I didn’t before, but now I’m starting to believe it…”

Li Yi remembered now that Jiaojiao liked to talk about these things too in the previous life. Back then, however, he had assumed she was joking.

The two of them farmed the dungeon over a dozen times. They did not receive any more F66 Aircraft Blueprints, but obtained around a dozen Cardiac Pacemaker Model V5s and a whole pile of precious purple-colored equipment.

“Why is that friend summoning tool so hard to farm?” Jiaojiao was getting tired.

“It’s not that hard. You already farted out two aircraft blueprints, and those are the hardest to get. The rest goes without saying.”

“Farting? Speak for yourself…” Jiaojiao glared at him. “Let’s try it three more times. If we still don’t get it, we can try again tomorrow. I’m getting kinda tired.

“Want me to come over to your place and massage your shoulders?”

“No, thank you.”

“Why not?”

“Your hands will probably end up massaging elsewhere.”

“Tsk, do I seem like that kind of guy?”

“What do you think?”

The two of them entered the dungeon again. Jiaojiao’s overwhelming skill meant that Li Yi no longer had to follow beside her. Now, he could just wait at the beginning obediently.

“Go, go, Jiaojiao! You’re the best, Jiaojiao! You’re the bae, Jiaojiao…”

Li Yi would occasionally shout at the top of his voice.

This was not because he wanted to flatter Jiaojiao, but because Jiaojiao requested it personally. She had a very simple reason, too. “I’m bouncing my butt off here, so you should show some sincerity as well.”

“Dark Wing, dare you fight me? Meet me at the Ancient Altar in Dragonbone Waste for a duel to the death!”

Just as Li Yi was cheering her on insincerely, Arthur sent a message to the World Channel.

It was a Challenge Scroll!
