Chapter 310: Friend Summoning Tool
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As expected, he came.
With a laugh, Li Yi replied with another message on the World Channel, accepting Arthur’s challenge.
The World Channel went into a frenzy. Countless players voiced their opinions regarding this duel.
“Dark Wing will win for sure. Don’t ask me why, his bad*ssery speaks for itself.”
“Arthur will definitely win. He’s the true Solo King of the Southern Continent, and that orange staff in his hand is the best proof of his power!”
...
Everything descended into chaos. A mere duel had somehow created a larger uproar than the Light and Darkness Instances.
“Good, great, perfectly grand!”
Arthur formulated the Challenge Scroll and sent it to Li Yi through the World Channel.
The Challenge Scroll was one of King of Pantheon’s many gameplay modes. One side would set the rules and the other would amend them until both sides were satisfied. Once both sides signed it, the Challenge Scroll would take effect.
[Challenge Scroll: Two days from now. Location: Dragonbone Waste, Ancient Altar.]
[Both sides will send three representatives to fight, and the side that wins two battles out of three wins. If the Southern Continent side wins, Dark Wing must return the +11 purple-colored accessory, Orlando’s Charity. If the Eastern Continent side wins, Arthur must give Dark Wing a piece of equipment equivalent to a +11 purple-colored accessory. Signed: Arthur.]
Li Yi smiled slightly. He accepted the Challenge Scroll, amended it slightly, and sent it back.
[Challenge Scroll: Two days from now. Location: Dragonbone Waste, Ancient Altar.]
[Both sides will send three representatives to fight, and the side that wins two battles out of three wins. If the Southern Continent side wins, Dark Wing must return the +11 purple-colored accessory, Orlando’s Charity, and pay 10,000,000 Gold Coins. If the Eastern Continent side wins, Arthur must destroy King Arthur’s Glorious Scepter on the spot and pay Dark Wing 10,000,000 Gold Coins. Signed: Dark Wing.]
“Sure, I accept!” Arthur pressed [Accept] without a moment’s hesitation.
Both sides had signed it, so the Challenge Scroll officially took effect!
Orlando’s Charity and King Arthur’s Glorious Scepter were both enveloped by a layer of rainbow-colored light. At the same time, the system froze 10,000,000 in assets on both sides.
Every player in the server could see the contents of the Challenge Scroll, and the system itself was ensuring the integrity of the bet, which meant that there was no chance of cheating. This battle was already making an enormous impact.
The Southern Continent was in one corner and the Eastern Continent was in the other. Thanks to Li Yi’s and Arthur’s statuses, this battle was no longer a private matter between the two of them only. Now, the glory of each camp was at stake.
If they won, their camp would also share in the glow of victory. If they lost, they would never be able to look the winner in the eyes again.
“Best of three, huh...” Li Yi mused.
In truth, he had long since guessed that Arthur would do this, but he never thought that Arthur would go with best of three. Thinking about it now, though, he could understand it. After all, Li Yi had killed Arthur once before, so Arthur was probably less than confident. That was probably why he wanted to bring helpers.
Overall, the Little Drunk Cat Guild was by no means weak. Individually, however... It seemed like they did not have many solo powerhouses.
Every member of the Little Drunk Cat Guild was stoked. Some volunteered themselves, others nominated their friends, and the discussion caught fire as they each tried to get a word in.
“I think Golden Gun Cannot Fall is pretty strong. If he takes a spot, he’s sure to win.”
“Idiot! Golden Gun Cannot Fall’s good at dungeons, but he can’t even beat me in a PK. The way I see it, Mad Dragon’s a good choice. Last time, I saw him take on five guys all alone, and he won.”
“You’re all wrong. Wu Old Wolf is the real PK King. He doesn’t even have to kill his opponent, cuz he can grind ’em to death just by healing himself.”
Tsk, haven’t you heard of the Ice Wizard, Wang Wang Dumplings? He can kill more than 100 enemies with one Blizzard spell. Now that’s what I call sharp as a knife. Y’all can’t tell who the real powerhouses are.”
“Cough cough, allow me to interrupt. In my opinion, Snickersnee’s quite qualified.”
“Snickersnee? Are you kidding? Sure, he can swing a hammer, but PK? You mean he’ll be the one getting PK-ed, right?”
“F*ck, are you looking down on our Leader Snicker? I’m telling you, with a swing of our Leader Snicker’s hammer, he can even smash a divine weapon into smithereens.”
“Stop arguing, stop arguing! Lemme nominate someone, One Big Bun. His Decomposition Skill is maddeningly powerful. He just has to swing his hands, and a piece of equipment will turn to dust. If he goes, we’ll be perfectly good to go.”
“Good, my *ss! He can decompose his own stuff, but can he decompose another’s weapon? Idiot, moron, stupid monkey!”
“Hey, who are you cussing at, you motherf*cker?”
“You, duh.”
“I’ll kill you, I swear...”
The Little Drunk Cat Guild Channel was a total mess. The situation now was even more volatile than when the Light and Darkness Instances were first revealed...
“Guild Master, what do you think our chances are?” Pretty Good Mood sent him a message.
“Arthur is no match for me. I don’t know about the other two matches, though,” said Li Yi honestly.
“Urk...”
“Relax, even if we lose, we won’t lose much.” Li Yi chuckled.
“It’s not a matter of our losses, Guild Master. Our Little Drunk Cat Guild is currently at the peak of our heyday. Countless businesses have noticed our potential, so if we lose now, there’s a high chance we’ll lose some of our clients.”
“Have we, the Little Drunk Cat Guild, ever lost before?” Li Yi asked.
Pretty Good Mood was stunned for a moment, and then he said with a laugh, “Never before, and we never will!”
“Exactly.”
...
“This time, it doesn’t matter if we get the item or not, I’m logging off either way.” Jiaojiao was still farming Super Trampoline 250, but this would be the last time for today.
“Sure, okay.”
The repetitive farming meant that Jiaojiao’s skills had improved even further. Initially, she took 20 minutes to complete the dungeon, but now she could clear it in 15 minutes.
They had obtained every possible achievement here, and thanks to this novelty dungeon, Li Yi obtained 25 precious Skill Points.
It was so d*mned worth it...
Jiaojiao cleared the dungeon one more time. After she left the dungeon, she tossed the red casket at Li Yi and logged off.
The red casket was opened, and a purple-colored blueprint appeared. It was the very thing Li Yi needed, Call of Friends— the Safest Summoning Tool in History Blueprint.
“Urk...”
This was the first time Li Yi opened a red casket with his own hands. It had never occurred to him that he would receive the item after just one try. It was uncanny.
“Done!”
Feeling buoyant, Li Yi rubbed the Return City Stone and returned to Shattered Frost City.
Now that he had the blueprint, everything else was a matter of time. He just had to collect all the necessary materials, and he would be able to craft the final product.
Thanks to Jiaojiao, Li Yi already had a large collection of the rare parts that were difficult to craft. Although it was not enough for him to create the superjet, he had more than enough to create a summoning tool.
Li Yi walked into the Auction House and bought a few common parts. After that, he rushed to the Guild’s Map and got Snickersnee to create the summoning tool’s outer shell. The forging began with the clanging of tools.
After three whole hours, the pitch-black, trashcan-like friend summoning tool was complete.
The friend summoning tool did not look very special. When placed on the floor, it looked just like a trashcan. It could only be used once every two hours, and each use lasted 10 minutes. It could only summon 10 friends at once. Also, only Master-level or higher Engineers could use it.
Li Yi gave it a shot. He connected Little Elf from the Magical Realm, as well as Xu Man and Moonlight Ocean, before he began his summoning.
The pitch-black summoning tool began to shake violently. Firstly, Little Elf from the Magical Realm was transported over. She was lucky; the summoning only cost her half of her HP. Compared to her, the sisters had it much worse.
When Xu Man was sent over, the so-called Safest Summoning Tool in History malfunctioned and exploded. By the time Xu Man crawled out from inside the explosion, her entire body was covered in black soot, as though she had just crawled out of a pile of coal.
Ocean Moonlight had it even worse. When she was sent over, the summoning tool did not explode. However, there was an error in the space transition, so her person was sent there first, but her equipment arrived a moment later. As a result, the one that appeared before Li Yi was a beauty with barely anything covered.
“Click! Click!”
How could he let such a golden opportunity pass? Li Yi pressed the shutter and took seventeen photos before Ocean Moonlight’s equipment returned, and only then did he stop.
Now that the experiment was over, Li Yi concluded that despite the many malfunctions, this friend summoning tool was still unbelievably, extraordinarily useful.
Without this thing, everyone had to travel to a dungeon in order to run it together. With this contraption, only one person had to make the journey. Once they were inside the dungeon, they could summon the other members, and everyone would be there instantly. Just imagine how much time that would save!
“I saw you sniggering at me the whole time just now. Speak, are you planning something nasty again?” Moonlight Ocean stared hard into Li Yi’s eyes, trying to find a chink in his armor.
“Something nasty? What do you mean by that?” Li Yi’s expression looked innocent.
“Hmph, in that private room last time...” Moonlight Ocean wanted to continue, but Xu Man secretly stopped her.
“Ah, it’s nothing.”
Li Yi chortled. “Acting all mysterious... Little lady, are you in love with me?”
Moonlight Ocean’s exposed eyebrows arched high. “My taste isn’t that questionable.”
“Good to know. I’m just afraid that you two sisters will fall in love with me at the same time. Sigh, sometimes it’s a sin for a man to be too perfect.”
“Blergh! Blergh!” The sisters gagged at the same time.
“Dark Wing, who do you plan to send out for that battle with Arthur?” asked Xu Man.
“I haven’t thought about it yet. Why don’t I pick you two sisters instead?”
“I don’t mind, as long as you don’t mind losing,” said Xu Man with a dissatisfied harrumph.
Although she was the leader of Platinum Hand, her PK skills were average at best. She was fine when clearing dungeons, but if she tried to PK, it was basically like giving the match to the opponent from the start.
“You two can seduce them with your beauty. If you two just took off your clothes in the middle of the PK, I guarantee that the opponents will...”
Before Li Yi could complete that sentence, Xu Man and Moonlight Ocean glared at him in unison. If looks could kill, Li Yi would have long since died over a hundred times.
Li Yi pretended not to see anything. When joke time was over, he changed the topic. “Relax, I won’t ever lose this battle.”
Xu Man and Moonlight Ocean shot him identical glares which were very easy to interpret. They said, ‘We don’t care if you win or lose, but your ego is getting unbearable.’
Li Yi turned around. “Little Elf, you’ll be one of the participants tomorrow.”
“Sure, but a word in advance, don’t blame me if we lose.” Little Elf from the Magical Realm agreed.
“I’ll reward you if you win, but if you lose... hmph-hmph.”
“So what if I lose?”
Li Yi walked up to Little Elf from the Magical Realm until he was extremely close to her, and then he gave her round buttocks a long, meaningful look. “You get what I mean.”
“Ptooey!”
