Chapter 687 - System Maintenance



Chapter 687: System Maintenance

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Since the server shut down all of a sudden, it was only natural that there would be a notice on the official site. However, there was no mention of a new update. They just said it was a technical maintenance, but they did mention the time frame. It required at least 24 hours.

“24 hours…”

“24 hours…”

Jiaojiao and Qian’er exchanged a glance and then left with one arm around each other’s shoulder.

“Hey hey hey, where are you two going?”

“Shopping!” Jiaojiao replied without looking back.

Half an hour later, Jiaojiao and Qian’er left with their handbags slung over their shoulders, holding hands.

Ice was not home, and the Xu sisters had not been around for several days. Now, Li Yi was the only one left at home…

Li Yi was bored out of his mind, so he went to a famous site and searched for Savage Lil Chilli’s newest works. The search results instantly left Li Yi in stitches.

Miss Jiao truly was talented. She had even written a retirement afterword, where she said she had found the man she was destined to be with, so she would stop writing these kinds of novels, and so on. In other to thank them for their support, she even posted three of her own photos as a thank you.

Underneath the post, he found the pictures Miss Jiao had posted. None of the three showed her face, but the skin color alone told Li Yi that not a single one was her actual photo.

The first was a Caucasian’s long thigh, the second was an African’s full bosom, and the third was even more ridiculous, it was a nude shot from the back that a certain female celebrity posted as a publicity stunt.

The three pictures were overwhelmingly different. How could anyone believe that?

Li Yi glanced at the comments and saw that the wolves were howling in full force. Aside from a few who expressed doubts, the rest did not doubt a thing. In fact, they even gave Jiaojiao a new nickname, the Magical Girl of a Hundred Faces.

Li Yi searched up Big-tits Qian’s ID as well and found that she had not logged into the site lately, so there was no way she uploaded any new works.

After surfing the site casually for a little longer, Li Yi turned off his laptop, washed his face, and went out for a jog.

As Li Yi remembered it from his past life, there was only once when the Pantheon server had to close for maintenance. Every other time, be it updating to a new version or fixing bugs, they simply completed the task online.

If he was not mistaken, after this maintenance, the Emperor’s Capital would be open, and Holy Equipment would start dropping as well. The level cap would be revised, and all sorts of new mechanics, equipment, and skills would make their debut.

Along the street, there seemed to be quite a few more people out for a run than usual. There were men and women, young and old. When Li Yi approached them and heard what they were talking about, he immediately smiled to himself.

They were discussing King of Pantheon’s maintenance, so it went without asking that they were all King of Pantheon players.

“Sigh, Dark Wing went head to head with outa queen, and they were about to decide on a winner too. And then, bang! Show’s over,” complained a young man with bleached blonde hair as he ran.

“I think Dark Wing would win,” said another bespectacled young man, analyzing.

“Our queen’s really strong, okay? I’ve personally seen her kill a Level 80 wild boss with one punch. Sure, Dark Wing’s super strong, but that depends on his opponent. There’s no way he can beat our queen,” insisted the blondie.

“Dark Wing can release his Terrors, can your queen do that?” The bespectacled young man would not give way either.

“Tch, our queen can shatter Territories, can Dark Wing do that?”

“I can’t be bothered with you…” The bespectacled young man turned away with a huff and stayed away from the blonde.

“The queen will win for sure. I love my queen.” Feeling pleased with himself, Blondie dashed forth and even gave Li Yi a polite nod as he ran past, asking, “Do you play Pantheon, bro?”

Li Yi shook his head. “Nope.”

“Come try it if you got the time, I can carry you. I’m at the Fluttering Snow Continent, the name’s Yellow Lightning.” Blondie even flicked his hair as he said it, acting all cool.

“Haha, sure thing. Thanks.”

“Don’t sweat it. S’long as you stay with me, you’ll never be trash.”

Blondie ran very quickly, and soon he was completely out of sight. Li Yi slowed down and stopped when he reached the park square.

There were always countless people working out here at the park, be it the old men and women practicing taiji or the young lads and laddies kicking footballs or jianzi (TN: a traditional Chinese game where you try to kick a metal shuttlecock and keep it in the air.) It was quite happening. Li Yi would come here every day too, to practice a few taiji moves and loosen up his joints.

Of course, he was no expert. His moves were completely his own, a Li Family Taiji if you will, and there were no patterns or skills. It was solely for him to stretch his limbs.

Li Yi walked to an empty spot and had just settled into his stance when he heard cheers coming from ahead. Raising his gaze, he saw a crowd of people in a circle, as though they were watching something.

Curiosity killed the cat, and Li Yi was not to be spared. Hearing the sheer enthusiasm of those cheers had completely ruined his training mood, so he jogged over and squeezed into the crowd for a look.

In the middle of the crowd, there was a pretty woman dressed in a white tracksuit, practicing her punches. Although Li Yi was a complete amateur, even he could tell that she was the real deal.

She flew up and down, leaping up and landing in turn. Her movements were as swift as a snake and as silent as a shadow.

“Whoa! Wonderful!”

The spectators kept cheering. Li Yi took a closer look at the beauty and could not help a double take.

‘Wasn’t this girl, sharp and imposing, none other than the Fluttering Snow Alliance Leader, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut?

‘She lives in the same city as I do?

‘It can’t be such a coincidence, right?’

Li Yu recognized Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, but Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut had not seen him. Right now, she was concentrating on her punches, so lost in her craft that nothing else mattered.

One punch to the left, one on the right, bending her waist and sweeping with her leg, only to leap straight into the air… Her movements were a feast for the eyes.

No, wait, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s profile clearly stated that she lived in the south. Logically speaking, it made no sense for her to show up here, right?

The more Li Yi watched her, the more confused he became. Nevertheless, there was one thing he could be certain of, and that was that this good-looking woman before him was definitely Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut.

That face and those moves were exactly as they were in the game. Li Yi may not be an expert at other things, but when it came to recognizing beauties, he had a photographic memory…

“Move aside, move aside, move aside!”

A large man with huge arms, a thick waist, and several chins pushed his way into the crowd, standing in front of Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. His beady little eyes swept her from head to toe, practically undressing her with his eyes.

Li Yi had a vague impression of him as a local hooligan. He liked punches too, and if he had to have one talent, it was causing trouble.

Just then, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut launched a magnificent flying kick. The large man’s eyes lit up, and he rushed forth to grab her ankle, holding it and refusing to let go.

“Let go,” said Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut coldly.

“Hey there, beautiful. I’m a 250th generation Bajiquan 1 practitioner, and I’d like to spare with you. Whataya say?” As the large man spoke, he reached out his other hand to try and take off Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s dainty little shoe.

That was such a perverted move that many people in the crowd could not bear to watch, including Li Yi. Before they could make a move, however, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s body suddenly flew into the air, and she smashed her other foot straight into the large man’s face.

That move had a name; it was called the Eagle-kicking Rabbit.

The large man instantly lost consciousness, loosening his grip and falling flat on his back.

“S-sweet moves…”

The spectators around them cheered.

The large man had killed Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s mood for practicing, so she frowned and split the crowd, leaving in a hurry.

After a long while, the large man crawled up from the ground and held his swollen face, swearing, “F*ck, you frigid b*tch, how dare you kick me! I’ll kill you for this.”

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was long gone, and only the spectators were left. As they looked at the sorry state the large man was in, they could not help the occasional chuckle.

Just then, two policemen pushed the crowd aside and held the large man up.

“Sorry, please come with us. Someone reported you for sexual harassment!”

Li Yi left as well. To him, meeting Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was nothing more than a surprise. He had never considered having anything to do with her either, but if anything, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s real-life skills took him by surprise.

If Jiaojiao went against her in a real-life PK, who would win?

As Li Yi jogged home, he never stopped thinking about that ridiculous question.

When Li Yi reached home, he realized that Jiaojiao and Qian’er were not back yet, but Ice was there. Instead of staying downstairs, however, she had gone to Li Yi’s room to sleep, and she was still sleeping when Li Yi entered the room…

“Ice, Ice…”

Li Yi tried called her and even pushed her lightly, but Fire Ice’s face just reddened slightly and she continued sleeping.

There was no helping it. Li Yi knew perfectly well that the hardest people to wake up were the ones who were feigning sleep…

Fire Ice had a quiet personality, but there was fire underneath that ice. She had repeatedly snuck into Li Yi’s room and pretended to sleep, and then she would not wake up no matter what happened next…

It must be said that Fire Ice was quite cute as she pretended to be asleep. Her eyelids would tremble slightly, and her blush deepened and lightened at intervals. Her little hands were gripped tightly into fists, and if they stayed clenched for too long, they would even loosen themselves of their own accord…

“Ice, Ice…”

Li Yi tried calling her a few more times, but Fire Ice was still too scared to wake up.

Watching her lie there, all ripe for the taking, Li Yi’s mischievous streak flared up again.

He reached out and pinched the tip of Fire Ice’s adorable little nose and then waited quietly until her small mouth opened slowly. Then, he used his other hand to pinch her thin lips.

Soon enough, Fire Ice’s face turned red, and Li Yi hurriedly let go. There was a deep intake of breath, and then Fire Ice continued to sleep soundly.

Li Yi played this little trick several times over, and Fire Ice was so extremely embarrassed that she simply refused to wake. It did not matter what you did, she seemed to say, I will just sleep right through it.

Looking at Fire Ice as she continued to feign sleep, Li Yi was exasperated, but at the same time, he could not help but wonder. What was Hua Feiwu thinking when he decided to share a girlfriend as obedient as Fire Ice with others?

Just then, his phone rang, and he glanced at the number. It was Sister Windcloud Nine…

Li Yi bent over and kissed Fire Ice on the lips before walking out of the room.
