Chapter 614: Reason

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Thief class had plenty of explosive power and exceptionally high ATK, but their DEF was exceptionally low too. If a Thief and a Warrior fought head-to-head and just hacked at each other, given that their equipment was identical, the Thief would definitely lose.

They had extremely low DEF, extremely low HP, and extremely high explosive power. That was what the Thief class was like in the eyes of the players.

This Fengxi, on the other hand...

222,222HP, wasn't that just crazy?

Even if he wore a whole HP Equipment Set and added all his points to his physical stats, the highest a Level 100 Thief could go would only be about 30,000HP, right?

He could not be sure about the other classes, but Li Yi knew everything about the Thief class.

In his past life, when he was being chased, he had once obtained an HP Equipment Set as well. However, he used it for barely half a month before he gave up on it completely.

That was because he realized that HP equipment was not meant for Thieves. Their extremely low DEF was an irrefutable fact, so what if he reached 200,000HP? He still could not take damage as well as a Warrior with 30,000HP.

"Tsk-tsk. That's ruthless, what a ruthless guy."

Li Yi gave him a word of praise and then entered Camouflage Mode, teleporting behind Fengxi.

He had no grudge against Fengxi whatsoever. He was just curious what secrets lay behind this seemingly stupid Thief.

Fengxi could log off in the middle of battle. This was not something just anyone could do, so Li Yi guessed that he may very well own the Fifth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment.

Li Yi had been stopping by the Newbie Village several times lately too, but he had not been pursuing Fengxi. It just so happened that he was feeling bored today so he casually scanned Fengxi and was pleasantly surprised.

A Thief with 220,000HP truly piqued his interest...

The five low-level Summoners lying on the ground were cursing Fengxi with everything they had.

"Motherf*cker, you're Level 100, why'd you kill me? I'm Level 12!"

"And I thought King of Pantheon was pretty fun. Looks like it ain't all that if there are trashy players all over the place! Stupid trashy game, I quit!"

Some of them persisted in their cursing, and others gave up, leaving the game altogether...

Fengxi gave a long sigh. "You gotta persist in life. If you say you'll quit the game just because I killed you today, you'd say the same tomorrow if someone else kills you. It's not my loss if you quit, and you can't hurt me in any way. Someone as mentally weak as you will never accomplish anything of note."

"F*ck, I'll play if I want to and not play if I don't want to. You killed me, and now you're trying to philosophize about it?! Well, f*ck you in your f*cking..."

It was frustrating enough that they were killed for no reason, but this Fengxi did not seem to think he was wrong in any way. Instead, he talked as though he was teaching them a lesson. How could the people he killed not be frustrated?

'Lemme try just one arrow...'

Li Yi took out his Orange Quality Bow, drank an Advanced-level Fury Potion, and aimed at Fengxi, ready to shoot.

If Fengxi's HP did not indicate 220,000, Li Yi would never consider attacking him. It was just that Li Yi's curiosity was killing him. He just could not figure out why a Thief would have 220,000HP.

That was why he had to see for himself if it was real or not!

"Third-in-charge... Third-in-charge..."

Just as Li Yi was about to let his arrow loose, someone called out from far away. In the moment when Li Yi was taken aback, a small white horse galloped over, carrying a distressed-looking player on its back.

This player was a Light Priest armed with a Warrior's two-handed sword and dressed in a mix of leather, mail, and heavy cloth armor. Li Yu did not recognize this person by his looks, but his equipment said it all.

This guy was definitely a member of the Huashan Guild, no doubt about it.

"Hmm?"

"Leader Scum said my IQ was too low, so he told me to come find you."

Fengxi looked at him with narrowed eyes for a bit before saying, "Log off now and buy an 'I Wonder Why' book. Can you read English?"

"No, I didn't even graduate from elementary school..."

"Alright, then buy an 'I Wonder Why' book, the English version, and come back to me once you've finished reading it carefully."

"Oh... okay... the English version? Of 'I Wonder Why'?"

The priest in heavy armor logged off, looking utterly perplexed.

Upon seeing this unfold, Li Yi slowly relaxed his grip on the Orange Quality Bow...

Of the five newbie Summoners who had been lying on the ground, two logged off and deleted their accounts. When the other three saw that Fengxi was chatting to someone else, they thought this was their chance to escape, so they immediately got up and ran toward the Newbie Village.

PK-ing was forbidden in the Newbie Village, so they would be safe if they could just run inside.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Fengxi continued to lift his face, looking up, but with a flick of his wrist, he shot out three throwing knives and knocked the three newbie Summoners to the ground once more.

"F*cking *sshole, f*ck you and your entire family..."

One of the Summoners was becoming incoherent. Thank goodness this was a game because if it was reality, these boys would probably be out for Fengxi's life at this point.

"My name is Fengxi. If you want revenge, come look for me whenever."

Fengxi sighed softly and revealed the name above his head.

His name was so red it was nearly purple, the color of congealed pig's blood. It was quite chilling to look at...

Fengxi, this punk's name really was Fengxi!

Li Yi touched his chin as the cogs in his brain began to turn. He realized a long time ago that this 'Fengxi' he was seeing was not the one who stuck by Cat. Although both of them were named 'Fengxi', it was clear that they were different people from their body sizes alone. This 'Fengxi' was not tall, but the other was quite large.

There were at least more than twenty ways to temporarily change one's name in King of Pantheon. A player could use their equipment, potions, scrolls and so on to do that, but despite the availability of all these methods, not many players could achieve them.

Of the two Fengxi's, which was real and which was fake?

"Showing off your name, you think Fengxi's all that? F*ck yo mama!" One of the newbies had a vicious temper and he cursed Fengxi right back.

Fengxi crooked his hand at him. "Get up and kill me!"

"You just wait, when I reach Level 100, I'll kill you until you delete your account!"

Fengxi seemed slightly disappointed. "Why not now?"

"What?"

"Why can't you do it now?"

"Motherf*cker, I'm Level 12 now and you're Level 100, how could I kill you? Even if you stand there without moving, I still couldn't kill you. You tryna play me? Wait till your next life!"

As the newbie Summoners kept swearing at Fengxi, the Iron Alliance's Great Commander, Pretty Good Mood, descended from the sky on a Blue-horned Griffin's back, landing right in front of Fengxi.

The newbie Summoner immediately cried out happily, "Brother Mood, this is the *sshole, kill him quick!"

Li Yi was all ready to leave, but when he saw that Pretty Good Mood was here, he immediately changed his mind about leaving.

"Why did you kill my younger brother?"

Pretty Good Mood summoned a Spotted Leopard and pointed his staff at Fengxi. He was not very good at the game, but he was used to commanding, so he spoke very authoritatively.

Fengxi retorted, "Why are you asking me?"

Pretty Good Mood was stunned for a moment before he turned around and asked the newbie Summoner, "Lil Bro, was he the one who killed you?"

"Yes, he chased me down and killed me over twenty times. When I asked him why, he'd just say his name's Fengxi. That f*cker, what a reason, gaaah... I got so p*ssed..."

Pretty Good Mood sent his Spotted Leopard forth and it scratched Fengxi head-on. Fengxi stayed in that exact pose, staring up at the sky until he was scratched to death.

With a thump, Fengxi fell to the ground.

The newbie Summoner, Pretty Good Mood, and even Li Yi were all stunned.

Li Yi could see now that Fengxi had less than 20,000HP. The 222,222HP displayed was clearly a fake number...

However, the thing that surprised him was not the fact Fengxi's HP was fake, but that Fengxi did not fight back or try to escape.

After all, this punk's ability to escape was known to be peerless. Even someone as overpowered as Li Yi had to attack him secretly and get a Critical Hit if he wanted to kill him.

Li Yi had always wondered how strong Fengxi was, so when Pretty Good Mood attacked Fengxi, he secretly tried to estimate his abilities. It was very likely that Fengxi could not defeat Mood, but Mood could never kill him either. His Log Off in Battle ability alone made him invincible.

He had not expected Fengxi to not fight back or even attack. Instead, Fengxi just stood there obediently as he was killed.

Pretty Good Mood had not expected that either, so after he killed Fengxi, he just stood there, stunned.

The newbie Summoner was ecstatic, and he corpse ran happily.

Fengxi lay on the ground, completely silent.

Soon enough, all the newbie Summoners stood up and thanked Pretty Good Mood before rushing into the Newbie Village as quickly as they could.

Pretty Good Mood placed the Scarab King next to Fengxi's corpse, so he could not stand up even if he wanted to.

"You're the dumbest thief I've ever seen. Looks like all you can do is kill newbies."

Faced with Pretty Good Mood's 'taunts', Fengxi remained silent.

"Don't admit defeat? Why don't I keep my pet away so we can have a fair fight?"

Fengxi finally spoke, "There's no need for that. If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't last more than ten seconds."

"You, kill me? If you could kill me, why did you let me kill you?"

Pretty Good Mood laughed and ordered the Scarab King away. He also stood far away, clearly indicating for Fengxi to stand up.

"A fair fight. I'll let you get up and recover your HP."

After a moment, Fengxi stood up from the ground and then sat cross-legged, recovering his HP.

Pretty Good Mood stood beside the Scarab King, saying, "I'll let you attack first."

The Scarab King may have terrible eyesight, but it could move even faster than lightning within a ten square yards. When facing Thieves, Pretty Good Mood always just summoned the Scarab King and hid behind it.

Fengxi played with the dagger in his hand and said coldly, "Don't regret this..."

"I'll never regret it. Come on, hurry up. If you don't attack first, I will." Pretty Good Mood was getting slightly impatient. He had never been particularly skilled at the game, and now that he found as strange a person as Fengxi, he had already decided in his heart that Fengxi was no match for him.

"Squeak squeak... squeak squeak... squeak squeak..."

The Scarab King chirped tauntingly too.

Fengxi's body moved slightly, and he vanished using Stealth...

Their surroundings were quiet, exceptionally so. After more than ten seconds, sweat began to run down Pretty Good Mood's forehead.

Fengxi was not approaching him. Where had he gone?

Pretty Good Mood ordered the Scarab King to advance toward the place where Fengxi had vanished, and he followed behind it carefully, staying close to it.

"Don't move carelessly, he's still nearby!" Just then, Li Yi gave him a reminder.

"Guild Master, you're here? Haha, it's fine, my Scarab King has very powerful senses. If he dares to approach me, I'll know for sure!"

"Squeak squeak!"

The Scarab King suddenly chirped happily and darted forward quickly...

"Bam!"

Bullseye!
