Chapter 456: Master Engineer
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In a blink of an eye, another three tanks were destroyed. Defiantly Tyrannical was so mad that he cursed uncontrollably and gave the order to destroy the enemy with extreme prejudice.
When Defiantly Tyrannical first stole the tanks from the Iron Alliance, he was extremely happy. No matter how others may judge the act, he had finally regained some of his pride, and on the plus side, he also hindered Li Yi somewhat. However, he never expected to encounter these bunch of idiots that attacked at first sight. When he finally gave the order to counter-attack, they were already at a disadvantage.
Explosions rocked the air, and during the explosions, the Three Major Guild Alliance lost all ten of their tanks…
However, the black tanks were not any better. They had lost nine tanks, and their remaining one was at low health and billowing smoke. Even moving around placed a great strain on it.
Both sides suffered heavy losses!
The players in the broken black tanks scurried out from within, and each of them was haphazardly dressed. There were Priests that wore whole body armor and there were Warriors that wore cotton clothes. It was truly a rare sight to see a bunch of misfits together.
“Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g, do you not value your mother’s life?!” Defiantly Tyrannical could immediately tell his opponent’s ident.i.ty.
“F*ck you! Why the f*ck did you include his mother, huh? Wanna bet that I’ll rip your mouth out?!”
One of Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g’s underlings who was wearing cotton clothes could not bear hearing someone lambast his boss. He gripped his wooden sword and howled, and if it was not for the two men holding him back, he would have already gone and ‘f*cked’ up Defiantly Tyrannical.
“Hey now, watch your behavior.”
At that moment, Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g dug his way out from the final tank. He narrowed his eyes and eyed Defiantly Tyrannical with an innocent expression.
Defiantly Tyrannical exploded, “Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g, just you wait. Once we get out of the dungeon, I swear on my name as Defiantly Tyrannical that I’ll kill you until you’re Level Zero. Otherwise, I’ll take on your surname!”
“Can you really do it though?” Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g pointed his finger at Defiantly Tyrannical’s nose, and said, “Wasn’t my brother, Mountain Gun originally your underling?”
Defiantly Tyrannical spat, “That sc.u.m is no subordinate of mine!”
“I clearly remember my brother telling me that you were the one who kicked him out of the guild. Today’s events were really a misunderstanding, but once I knew that you were Defiantly Tyrannical, it worked out nicely. I, Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g, can finally avenge my brother’s grudge!”
“Poof!’
Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g placed his hands on the ground, summoned a black donkey mount, and tottered his way toward Defiantly Tyrannical.
Before Defiant Mountain Gun had gotten himself banned, he entrusted all his belongings to Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g. One of which was a rare Epic-level black donkey mount, and it was a gift from b.l.o.o.d.y Rose to Mountain Gun. In spite of this, Mountain Gun had always been reluctant to use it.
The Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g of today had swapped his old gear for better ones. He was using Mountain Gun’s mount, wearing Mountain Gun’s equipment, and his shabby kitchen knives had been tossed aside. All that was left of his original equipment was his green cape that was engraved with letters.
Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g held up his shortsword and pointed it at Defiantly Tyrannical. “Would you prefer to solo or get slaughtered in a group?”
Defiantly Tyrannical flinched. He was driven mad by Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g. “Hahahaha… F*cking h.e.l.l, if we could PK within Glory, you bet your *ss that I would’ve killed you a hundred times by now.”
Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g tested it out himself, and once he had ascertained the fact, he rode towards Defiantly Tyrannical while shaking his head and sighing. By the way he was acting, it seemed that he was unsatisfied.
“If you want to fight, then we’ll do it outside…”
“Ka—put!”
Defiantly Tyrannical was still speaking when Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g spat out a mouthful of thick, viscous spit. Coincidentally or on purpose, it had landed straight into Defiantly Tyrannical’s mouth.
“Ackk! Ackk! Ackk—”
Tap, tap, tap…
Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g turned tail and ran, whereas Defiantly Tyrannical clutched his throat and collapsed onto the ground…
Though it was just a game, the act was really disgusting. Defiantly Tyrannical took off his goggles in disgust, and was still coughing non-stop in reality…
“Leader Sc.u.m, what tactic is this? It’s so coooollll!”
Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g stylishly patted his black donkey and smiled, “Lil Sc.u.m’s flying spit!”
“Wonderful! Truly wonderful!”
“Giddyap!”
Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g spurred off on his black donkey, as his life’s motto was to never allow his enemies the satisfaction of revenge. As such, he decided to hightail it…
Boom! Boom!
Even the final tank that was in shambles had started to move, and those from the Huashan Guild merrily followed Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g’s from behind, leaving no traces of them on the battlefield…
Defiantly Tyrannical finally put on his goggles a long time later. With that, his character finally rose from the ground.
His face was pale, and he dry heaved from time to time. His body was also quivering with rage…
“By my command, I order the Three Major Guild Alliance to hunt down Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g. Unless he becomes Level 0, you are forbidden to rest…”
“Guild Master Tyrannical, who did you PK this time?
Li Yi rushed to the scene on Holy Light Warhorse and once he saw the tattered tanks around, he broke into a grin.
Defiantly Tyrannical’s expression turned cold, and he gave a heavy snort. Though he had taken in Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g’s spit, Li Yi was still the number one enemy in his heart. After all, if it was not for Li Yi, he would have already been the undisputed ruler of the Eastern Continent.
The Three Major Guild Alliance was at a precarious position, and their reputation was not what it once was. Had it not been for his brothers in arms riding it out with him, the Three Major Guild Alliance would have long dissolved.
Li Yi eyed his surroundings with a forlorn expression, when he saw the broken tanks, he contorted them in agony. “What a waste…These tanks…Sigh.”
“If Guild Master Dark Wing wants it, then I can gift them to you, hahahaha… Blargghhhh…” When he saw Li Yi’s pained expression, a look of joy crept onto Defiantly Tyrannical’s face. For him, being able to cause Li Yi despair was the most delightful thing currently.
“Since Guild Master Tyrannical has offered, it wouldn’t be polite to reject. I’ll take them then.”
Li Yi hopped off his horse and walked to an overturned tank. He placed his hands on it, and a crimson glow enveloped the tank. Ten or so seconds later, a brand-new tank appeared before him.
Defiantly Tyrannical was grinning with joy at first, but when he saw Li Yi repairing the tanks, his face instantly took a shade of green.
It was not as if the tanks in Glory could not be repaired, as players that have reached Grandmaster-level in Engineering could easily repair broken tanks. The reason that Defiantly Tyrannical was unaware was due to him not having any Grandmaster-level Engineers in his guild.
It was not just his guild, as of this moment, there was not a single other Grandmaster-Level Engineer within the game.
There was a saying that went, ‘Poverty from Engineering lasts three generations, and archaeology, a lifetime.’ Had Li Yi not received the Encyclopedia of Engineering from the Dwarf King, he would only be an Advanced-level Engineer now.
Li Yi repaired the tanks at a G.o.d-like speed. He used only ten or so seconds to fix each vehicle, and in a blink of an eye, five of them had already been fixed.
The players from the Iron Alliance were not lounging around as well. As soon as a tank had been fixed, they immediately hopped into it. There were 500 of them in their party, and all of them entered the tanks systematically.
Li Yi only fixed ten tanks and ignored the rest. It was already hard enough to maneuver a tank with only 50 men, and getting more was just plain greedy.
“Guild Master Dark Wing!”
When he saw that Li Yi was about to leave, Defiantly Tyrannical panicked. He huffed and puffed as he ran forward, and he made a face full of smiles.
“We can’t fix these broken toys, and seeing that I’ve gifted some of the tanks to you, would you do us a favor to fix up these remaining ones? What do you say?”
“You want me to fix the tanks?”
“Yeah, no one else here can do it besides you.”
“Sure, no problem.” Li Yi answered casually. Defiantly Tyrannical was overjoyed, and just as he was about to say some words of grat.i.tude, Li Yi lifted a finger.
“I demand 100,000 Gold Coins per tank.”
“Why you &*(&(*@!”
“Dark Wing, that’s too much!”
“100,000 per tank, with that money, we could build our own tank already. The only difference is that I won’t be able to use it here. I’ve never met anyone as despicable as you!”
Before Defiantly Tyrannical had gotten a chance to speak, his subordinates already exploded. After all, Li Yi’s repair cost was just too expensive.
Li Yi faintly sighed, “I heard that the bosses in Glory are ma.s.sive robots, so without the aid of the tanks, you’re gonna have a rough time.”
An uneasy expression hung on Defiantly Tyrannical’s face. After pondering for a long time, he gritted his teeth and nodded. “I’ll take it!”
The both of them carried out a trade, and with that Li Yi had received 900,000 Gold Coins.
Li Yi was a man of his words. As soon as he received the money, he got to work. With a bing and a bang and various red lights, he fixed up the nine tanks within a few minutes.
“Pleasure doing business with you, Guild Master Tyrannical.”
Li Yi shook hands with Defiantly Tyrannical and hopped into a tank.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Li Yi and his party took off on their tanks, leaving Defiantly Tyrannical and his men standing there speechless.
‘900,000 Gold Coins!’
Due to many of the items in the Light and Dark Instances being untradeable and unsellable, the currency ratio was back to 1 to 1. In other words, 900,000 Gold Coins was equivalent to 900,000 RMB. This was a painful sum for Defiantly Tyrannical…
“Guild Master, I think that it wasn’t worth it,” said Defiant Little Tiger dejectedly.
“So be it, Glory is the final Instance Dungeon that Defiant Feifei tested in the closed beta. Whether or not we can make a comeback depends on our performance here. So, even if we lose out a bit, it doesn’t matter, it’ll be worth it as long as we can get the first kill of Glory!”
Defiantly Tyrannical clenched his fists tightly…
…
“Brother Dark Wing, 900,000 Gold Coins is fine and all, but I don’t think you should’ve done that. After all, the list of the ten closed beta players has already been announced, and though Defiant Feifei has been banned, his knowledge of the dungeon isn’t. If you hand over those tanks to Defiantly Tyrannical, I…”
While advancing with the tanks, Flower Underpants was somewhat disappointed, and as the straightforward person he was, he would not hesitate to speak his mind.
“Who said that I repaired it properly? Stealing our tanks is not something that can be forgiven with money. The reason I repaired their tanks was to irk them some more. Don’t you know how I operate by now, brother? What’s there to worry?”
Flower Underpants froze, he did not understand.
“He tweaked some stuff when he repaired their tanks. Sigh, Brother Flower, you should study more. Isn’t your sister a teacher? Ask her to teach you some stuff, sigh, you’re really stupid…” Confused Fox shook his head and lambasted the innocent Flower Underpants.
“How did he tweak it though?” Flower Underpants was even more confused.
Li Yi gave a wry smile. He did not bother to explain further. On the other hand, Confused Fox started acting weird and though he did not say anything, he grabbed Flower Underpants’ hair.
“Old Fox, if you don’t explain it properly, I’ll destroy any chances you have with the girl you’re currently fawning over. I heard that you met a girl named Rural Drifting Cloud recently? Hehe, you know what that means.” In the end, Flower Underpants had resorted to threatening Confused Fox openly.
“Actually… I’m not too sure myself, ahemm.” Under Flower Underpants’ pressure, he was forced to tell the truth.
Before Li Yi had gotten to explain, the Three Major Guild Alliance sent a message in the area chat.
“Little Drunk Cat’s Guild Master is a sc.u.mbag, he demanded money to repair our tanks, but he did not recover their HP. He is truly the definition of trash…”
“You didn’t add any HP to their tanks?” Flower Underpants gasped.
Li Yi thrust out a finger. “I gave each one 1 HP.”
“Hahaha…”
The three of them broke out in laughter.
