Chapter 152: Truly Never Expected

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Camouflage!”

Li Yi ran into the Instance Dungeon and used Camouflage to hide.

The Instance Dungeon’s progress was 49/50. This meant that the person who was hacking the progress had recently succeeded to a certain extent. If everything was as he had expected, that person was definitely engaging in the final run of corpse running in the Instance Dungeon.

Pretty Good Mood sent a voice message, “Dark Wing, I’ve found the person who was selling the video, he’s...”

“You don’t have to say it, I know who it is.”

The person who was triggering the Cooldown had already ran into the Instance Dungeon. He had just passed Li Yi which suddenly dismayed him.

He never expected that the person who wanted to destroy the Instance Dungeon’s progress was actually Qing Pingle.

When he saw Qing Pingle carrying his bow and running forward, Li Yi sighed, sped up, and drank a Fury Potion to boost up his damage before shooting.

[-1876! Critical!]

A bright red damage value appeared above Qing Pingle’s head which indicated that he suffered an Instant Kill with one arrow!

“Call a few dependable men to come over. If Qing Pingle is hacking our Instance Dungeon’s Cooldown, I’m guessing that he’s probably the one who sold the video.”

“Yeah, it’s him,” replied Pretty Good Mood.

Li Yi removed Qing Pingle from the party’s Instance Dungeon name list before turning around and leaving the dungeon.

He was really furious.

Deleting Qing Pingle’s name from the party’s Instance Dungeon name list meant that he would no longer be counted in the progress of the Instance Dungeons that were led by Li Yi. However, merely banishing him would be letting him off too easily.

Qing Pingle’s corpse was still inside the Instance Dungeon. If he wanted to take his corpse back, he would inevitably need to use his soul to touch the Instance Dungeon’s main door. Moreover, since he was already kicked out of the party’s name list, he would not immediately enter the dungeon but would resurrect in front of the dungeon’s door instead.

“Why?” Li Yi sent a message to Qing Pingle.

Qing Pingle did not reply. After some time, he resurrected at the dungeon’s doorway before Li Yi shot an arrow and killed him another time, not even waiting for Qing Pingle to run into the dungeon.

“The benefits that the other party gave you must surely be very great for you to commit suicide more than 40 times, right?”

Qing Pingle did not even say a word. Not long after, he resurrected at the dungeon’s doorway again but just as he wanted to run inside, Li Yi’s arrow struck him again.

Another Instant Kill!

This time, Qing Pingle’s corpse disappeared. Now that the number of his deaths had reached its limit, his level was automatically deducted by 1 while he resurrected at the nearest temple.

Li Yi summoned the Violent Bear King and jumped down from Pinnacle of the Fire and used Violent Bear’s Protection in mid-air.

“Bang!”

Li Yi fell on the ground and lost 90% of his HP before he simultaneously obtained the High Altitude Survivor achievement.

“Whoosh– Whoosh–”

He shot out the Chain Arrow Skill and aimed it precisely at Qing Pingle who had just run out of the temple and was rubbing a Return City Stone.

He would not have made it in time if he simply ran down the mountain. Thus, Li Yi could only use this method to prevent Qing Pingle from escaping.

Qing Pingle instantly collapsed on the ground before a gold-colored necklace dropped from his corpse.

He hated traitors the most!

“You could’ve told me if you were short of money. Has the guild treated you ungenerously? Ever since you joined the guild, everyone has treated you as a friend so why have you done this now? With this, haven’t you disappointed yourself and all of your friends whom you’ve fought side-to-side with?”

Li Yi walked forward and picked up the gold-colored necklace that Qing Pingle dropped.

Qing Pingle did not say anything but merely lay on the ground, too afraid to get up.

“Tell me your reason and I’ll spare you if I’m satisfied, but if I’m not, you shouldn’t even dream of leaving, forever.”

Qing Pingle remained silent.

Half an hour later, Pretty Good Mood brought about twenty guild elites and rushed over. After they had finished listening to Li Yi’s retelling of the events, they suddenly cursed in unison and frenziedly spat on Qing Pingle.

“Call the guild’s peripheral members over and get 100 people to guard his corpse each day. Each person will get 100 Guild Points. Deduct 1000 Guild Points if anyone lets him escape. Any equipment he drops will belong to whoever picks it up,” commanded Li Yi.

Pretty Good Mood said regretfully, “He sold the video of our battle for 200,000 in cash. Furthermore, he also sold the Instance Dungeon strategies and guides for 100,000. As for how much money he earned from hacking the Cooldown, I’m unclear about that.”

Li Yi murmured a reply before contacting Shen Lang to tell him to investigate it.

There was no such thing as a complete secret in this world. Qing Pingle was despicable to hack the Cooldown but the manipulator who was pulling the strings was even more despicable.

Who was the evil manipulator behind the scenes? War God Clan? Or was it Star Fire Guild? Both of these guilds were suspects.

“Qing Pingle, you better freaking speak. Tell me, why did you do this? How have we disappointed you? I’m telling you to speak, f*ck!”

Paladin Golden Gun Cannot Fall’s eyes were already red as he charged towards Qing Pingle’s corpse and repeatedly yelled.

In private, the relationship between both of them had always been pretty good.

Everyone was unhappy. It was important to know that this person lying on the ground was previously their fellow comrade. They had fought side-by-side when they were facing Instance Dungeons and intended to live or die together, but now...

“Time reveals a person’s heart...” Pretty Good Mood sighed.

Li Yi faintly shook his head.

The problem that he was currently thinking of was different from what Pretty Good Mood was thinking of. He wanted to know why Qing Pingle did this. Li Yi had nothing to say if he did it purely because of money, but what if there was another reason?

“I’ll give you another five minutes to consider stating your reason or you’ll suffer the consequences!”

“I don’t have anything to say, I’ve disappointed all of you,” replied Qing Pingle this time.

“F*ck, you’re freaking aware that you’ve disappointed us too? Do you know how much mental and physical effort we used to battle this Instance Dungeon? Do you know how much we prepared? Yet you secretly hacked the progress. Does money really mean that much to you? Has your brain turned to mush? You should’ve f*cking told me if you were lacking money. You could’ve just told everybody. Qing Pingle, you’ve really disappointed me!” Golden Gun Cannot Fall was so upset that his face was flushed.

“I’m sorry...” There were no more messages from Qing Pingle after he had finished saying that. It probably meant that he had gone offline...

“You guys continue to guard the corpse, I’m going offline first.” Li Yi waved his hand exhaustedly.

“Fatty, let’s go out and have a few drinks.”

“Alright but I’m telling you beforehand that you’ll have to pay this time because your brother here has been recently broke.”

“Nonsense, when have you ever lacked money?”

Li Yi disconnected. He had thought of inviting Chen Yang out for a few drinks to calm himself because he was currently not in a good mood.

“Brother Yi, where are we going to drink?”

“We’re going to a slightly better place this time, Italian Flavor.”

“Do you want me to find two girls to accompany us?”

“Alright.”

“Cough, we’d better wait two more years before discussing this. Your brother here hasn’t been able to get any girls recently.”

He did not have any ulterior motives. Li Yi really just wanted to go out and drink some alcohol this time to briefly cheer up his gloomy mood.

Both of them entered a cab before Chen Yang boldly threw ten bucks at the driver and said, “To Italian Flirt.”

“Flavor.” Li Yi corrected him.

“Brothers, this money isn’t enough, it’s 30 at least.” The big-brotherly driver rolled his eyes at Chen Yang.

“Cough, wait until we’re there and he’ll give you the rest.” Chen Yang turned his head toward the outside of the car window.

Neither Li Yi nor Chen Yang had been to an Italian restaurant. Li Yi had suggested going there this time because he had a slight inclination to try something new.

Since he had become rich with great difficulty, how could he not go and thoroughly enjoy the fruits of his labor?

The cab speedily reached their destination, the Italian Flavor restaurant with refined style.

Both men boldly walked through the door as the foreign waiter at the doorway who stared blankly at them for a long time then forced a smile on his face and welcomed them before leading them to their seats.

The lights were dazzlingly beautiful and the place was styled exquisitely. There was even a beautiful foreign woman near the reception desk in the hall who was performing a beautiful song on the piano. However, Li Yi and Chen Yang knew nothing about these things. Thus, they did not know the name of the piece that the beautiful foreign woman was playing.

“It would only be romantic if you came to a place like this with your girlfriend.” Chen Yang’s lecherous gaze continuously swept across the foreign babe before his drool even unconsciously dripped down the corners of his mouth.

When it was time to order, the two country bumpkins were slightly dumbfounded. Since it was all in a foreign language, how could they understand?

“This, this, and this. Yeah, I’ll have some alcohol too. Whatever Louis the Thirteenth, horse-faced human, and Lafite, get some of that for us.” Li Yi’s speedy response and random pointing of his fingers shocked the foreign waiter.

“Excuse me, sir. Do you have a VIP card?” asked the foreign waiter in fluent Chinese.

“VIP card? No.”

“If you don’t have one, please pay at the front counter first, sir.” The foreign waiter pointed at the counter in front of the hall.

Li Yi made a noise in response, indicating that he understood.

They were worried that he did not have money.

“Hold on.”

Li Yi took out his LED card and swiped it at the cash register at the reception desk in front of the hall.

[-190,000]

‘F*ck me...’

Li Yi stuck his tongue out. He had never expected that this place would be so expensive and that he would actually have to spend 190,000.

‘Whatever, since the money’s already been paid, it’d be better just to treat it as an experience.’

Li Yi laughed and returned to his seat.

“Please wait awhile, gentlemen. I’ll be right there.”

The foreign waiter’s attitude toward Li Yi suddenly became warmer.

“This is my first time sitting in a Western restaurant and drinking foreign alcohol. Come, salud!”

“Salud your *ss, cheers!” Li Yi became even cockier. He energetically clinked his glass against Chen Yang’s before downing the red wine in his cup in one gulp.

“Cheers!” Chen Yang did not want to display any signs of weakness either, so he raised his neck and downed his glass.

“Eh, this thing is pretty strong.” Chen Yang burped continually from the alcohol and only calmed down a long time later.

They were still other guests in the hall who were laughing one after another the moment they saw their crass behavior.

“You should be eating and drinking. What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen people drinking alcohol before?” Chen Yang was somewhat unhappy now.

“Why do you care about them? Let’s drink, cheers!” Li Yi raised his wine glass again.

“Cheers!”

Neither of these two people felt even the slightest bit embarrassed. On the contrary, they felt infinitely honored instead. They drank their red wine in big gulps and ate their Western meals with big mouthfuls. Their table manners shocked everyone watched them.

Both of them took turns drinking. Their capacities for liquor were equally frightening. In the blink of an eye, they gulped down 50,000 bucks worth of red winet. This caused the other guests to tremble with disgust as they witnessed this scene and secretly sigh as they wasted good wine.

“Bang!”

“I disagree!”

Both of them were raising their wine glasses up high and drinking nonstop, when the slamming sound of a table being hit distracted them.

“You’re thinking of abandoning me, your own daughter and my mother because you’re wealthy and powerful now, right? Just be honest, what’s the point of going around in circles? Do you think that we can’t live without you?”

A furious female voice suddenly silenced the entire Western restaurant.

“Lil Jiao, please mind your manners. This isn’t our home,” chided a stern voice.

“Home? That’s your home, not mine!” countered the female voice without a hint of courtesy.

“Drink, drink. Don’t listen, it’s none of our business, just drink...” Chen Yang’s entire face was red as he raised his glass towards Li Yi.

“That voice...” Li Yi stiffened before he suddenly stood up and turned around and looked at the direction of its source.
