Chapter 665 - Dragnet



Chapter 665: Dragnet

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Brother Windcloud Nine was defeated. He took down Not Gray Wolf with ease but was no match for Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s iron fists.

Dragnet was not Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s Territory Skill but a unique class skill. It required a certain amount of rage and an Engineered Fishing Net for its successful use.

A normal status skill was useless on a Territory Master. Skills such as Charge would not Disorient Territory Masters and Repent could not force a Territory Master into Sleep.

However, Dragnet made it possible due to the nature of Engineered Fishing Net. Players trapped in the net would enter into a Bind status. Although it only lasted 2-6 seconds, it would be a definitive move for an expert like Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut to ensure her win.

Brother Windcloud Nine’s Holy Healing Skill helped him survive Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s third punch but not her fourth punch.

Her ATK doubled each time and by the fourth punch, the damage on Brother Windcloud Nine had surpassed a million in value.

“That woman’s really good. I have feeling that even if I were to stand up and fight her, I won’t be able to defeat her.”

Upon Brother Windcloud Nine’s return, he told Li Yi about it. His tone reflected how impressed he was with Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut.

This guy rarely gave in to anyone. Li Yi was one of them and now he had a newfound respect for Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut.

“You did well. You didn’t just kill Not Gray Wolf, you burned half of the Southern Continent’s Celestial Capital down. The loss they’ve sustained is bigger than yours.”

“Haha, it feels invigorating to burn down their capital and it’s all thanks to your scrolls. Oh, right, when I was coming back, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut told me that she’s going after the throne in five days!”

“She’s going for Throne-claiming?”

“Yes, and judging by her tone, she’s determined to win. Though, I find it weird, why did she tell me? Isn’t she afraid I’ll stir trouble?”

Li Yi smiled, “Because she knows you’ll tell me about it.”

Brother Windcloud Nine’s eyes lit up, “So she’s provoking us?”

“Yes, she must have the ability now, so she isn’t afraid we’ll team up against her.”

“Hehe, I might not be able to defeat her on my own but if both our guilds team up, she has to think twice before she can be a Queen.”

“Yeah…” Li Yi thought about it before responding, “Let her take the crown. Let’s not dispatch our troops.”

“What?” Brother Windcloud Nine was stunned.

“None of us will take action. Let’s sit and watch her take the throne!”

Five days later, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut initiated a Throne-claiming War. She wasn’t lying when she said she was going to do it.

The Ninth Continent and Invincible Continent dispatched many field agents for live reporting on the Throne-claiming War but Li Yi and Brother Windcloud Nine bided their time and watched as Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut descended upon the throne without any obstruction.

“Ah ah, are the Invincible Continent and Ninth Continent scared until their pants come off? Why did they just watch the Fluttering Snow Alliance take the crown without even trying to stop them?”

“Who knows? Maybe they’re scared…”

The forums and world channel were filled with various assumptions. No one could figure what was going on apart from the parties involved.

For more than two years King of Pantheon was in session, if the Invincible Continent was considered the most powerful, then the Ninth Continent was secondary to it while the Southern Continent was the weakest. The reason was not due to the population but the absence of a King in the Southern Continent.

Without the leadership of a King, many national tasks would be left undone, many conveniences would not be put into effect, preventing the growth of a nation.

Now great, the Invincible Continent and Ninth Continent had backed down and did not even send a single batch of troops, basically handing over the Southern Continent’s throne to Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut.

Lost it!

Dark Wing has lost it!

Lost it!

Brother Windcloud Nine has lost it!

Players of both continents were not having it, prompting a few of them to form a legion to cause trouble. It was a pity though; they were wiped out before they could even cross the border.

Without a highly reputable person leading, a party formed by a normal player would not pose much of a threat, with its number edging towards a few hundred members only. Even if the party reached a thousand members, it was far from the standard of the Fluttering Snow Alliance’s affiliated guild.

Lost it…

Some sighed, thinking it was all over. The two continents used to be powerful and prosperous, always having an advantage over the Southern Continent in every aspect. Now, the rise of the Southern Continent would see three major nations in the game.

The biggest difference between having a King was probably the national officials system. A King could use King’s Order to instantly assemble the nation while the cabinet could Teleport anywhere within the nation, boosting mobility to a huge extent. It was far more convenient than depending on teleportation doors.

Different from when Arthur claimed Kingship in the past life, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut stood up and became Southern Continent’s ruler this life.

“Let her take the throne, we’ll hold our men.”

Many had asked Li Yi the reason for his actions but his answer remained the same, even to Brother Windcloud Nine. He only spoke about holding their horses but never gave an explanation.

He could not nor did he need to explain as it would not be long before everyone would understand the reason behind it all.

The level cap increase and the Emperor’s Capital release was delayed but would they ever see the light of day? Of course, they would. The Pantheon officials delayed it because they wanted to reduce the gap between players’ abilities and once they reached a satisfactory number, the level cap increase and the Emperor’s Capital would soon make their debut.

The level cap increase would give way to Holy Equipment and the price of equipment without the Holy attribute would suffer a drastic drop. Li Yi sold off all his equipment beforehand to avoid the loss in value of his equipment with the appearance of Holy Equipment.

If he were to sell his equipment off at the emergence of Holy Equipment, he would not suffer any loss, but Li Yi’s actions would look questionable.

After all, it was not always best to stand out of the crowd or it would draw unwanted attention to himself.

After the system update, Li Yi predicted that the Emperor’s Capital was open, marking the birth of the Emperor position. This was the highest authority players could gain apart from the Pantheon title.

Li Yi sacrificed stopping Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut from taking the throne, so he could focus on snatching Emperor.

Striking Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut would weaken both sides. For her to provoke Brother Windcloud Nine in broad daylight meant she was not afraid of Brother Nine and Li Yi teaming up.

Li Yi did not want to engage in a battle he was not sure of winning. He was not afraid of losing but rather of losing the opportunity of becoming Emperor at the opening of Emperor’s Capital.

The Emperor’s Capital in his past life appeared in the Eastern Continent because there wasn’t a King in the continent. If they stopped Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut from becoming Queen, the Emperor’s Capital would definitely end up in the Southern Continent in this life. This… was not the outcome Li Yi wanted to see.

Having another chance in life, Li Yi needed to take a step ahead to be in the most beneficial position.

The birth of a King in the Southern Continent would not pose any threat to the Invincible Continent in the meantime. Li Yi, on the other hand, was busy running daily quests to raise his Territory levels and check out the Auction House at times on the direction of rates.

The System’s delay in releasing level cap has caused a huge impact on exquisite equipment’s prices. Players like Li Yi and Brother Windcloud Nine were no longer in need of equipment yet there was a huge production of exquisite equipment. With supply higher than demand, how high could prices go?

Equipment that used to cost a few million now went for a few hundred thousand while equipment that was originally a few hundred thousand could be bought for several thousand.

As more players reached Level 100 and due to the inexpensive equipment, the gap between high-end players and noob players grew thin.

While Li Yi struggled to wait for the increase of level cap, Territory Masters showed up one after another. In a short span of three months, the few dozen Territories had now expanded to fifty over.

There was a swell of Territory mastery guides in the official forums. Li Yi swept a few glances at them. Similar to his past life, these were lying bullshit nonsense. There was no actual guide to becoming a Territory Master.

Even after eight years in the past life, no one saw the birth of an actual Territory Master guide.

They were either fake or made up. None of them was real.

Today, Li Yi left the Invincible Continent and entered the North Pole Continent.

He had done enough quests in the three continents and only the EXP in the North Pole Continent could satisfy him. He found it a pity that Mount Pantheon was not open to public or he would fly up there to experience teasing a god for a change.

“Brother Dark Wing, save me. I’m crying, I’m really crying.”

Just as Li Yi was about to leave the Invincible Continent, Hua Feihua’s shouts appeared in the continental channel.

“Sister Hua Hua, who bullied you? Tell your little Wang Brother here, I’ll teach him a lesson!”

In less than 3 seconds, Scumbag Wang shouted in the continental channel to pay his loyalty to Hua Feihua.

Li Yi did not bother with them and took flight towards the North Pole Continent with a frown.

He had long blocked Hua Feihua who recently, had been asking for his help almost daily.

Hua Feihua ignored Scumbag Wang and continued shouting, “Brother Dark Wing, did you hear me? I’m bawling from being killed…”

“Sister Hua Hua, is it because Dark Wing’s dick is bigger than mine or because I don’t play hard to get? I’m giving you my heart, yet you don’t bother to answer me?” Scumbag Wang was angered.

“Brother Dark Wing, if you don’t reply me, I’ll… I’ll go look for Milk Dipper Solitary,” Back in the continental channel, Hua Feihua made a stand.

Li Yi was silent for a moment before unblocking Hua Feihua. He then sent a dizzy-looking emoji over.

Hua Feihua was choking with sobs when she sent a message, “Brother Dark Wing, I’m outside Shattered Frost City. The coordinates are 125666:56777. I’m being killed by a Thief named Fengxi. I beg you, please save me…”

“Fengxi? The one from Huashan?”

“Yes yes, Scumbag Wang’s Third Brother.”

“You should be looking for Wang’er. What’s the point looking for me…”

“I did, didn’t work…” Hua Feihua was tongue-tied. It was obvious she was at her wit’s end.

It had been four months since she started being hunted down by the same person. No matter where she went, that person was there. She was losing her mind…
