Chapter 71: Swaying the Princess
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Clean the bedroom at 7 a.m., sweep the floors at 8 a.m., breakfast at 9 a.m., continue cleaning the bedroom at 10 a.m...."
Li Yi gave Sif a chain of orders.
There was not a single space for a breather and the entire 24 hours were fully scheduled.
It would be impossible to hope a unique NPC such as Sif to work like a normal maid. There were only two ways to activate the unique quest from her.
One of the methods was to obtain a good impression from her. When the impression had converted from Strong Hatred to Friendly status, Sif would automatically grant the quest.
There was only one way to increase the friendliness from Sif. It was to keep buying musical instruments that originated from the Elves and give them to her. If one was lucky, Sif's impression would change to Friendly after giving her gifts after two or three years.
The Elves' musical instruments were extremely expensive. The common players and not even Chu Tiange, who was a rich man, could afford them.
The other method was relatively easier than the first. One just needed to keep torturing Sif to the point where one had to capture her back after she started escaping. One would be able to force the quest out from her after she was dispirited and had given up on escaping...
Despite both methods leading to the same objective, the second method would bring upon an extremely dire consequence, in which where the entire Elf tribe would hate the player.
The Capital of the Elf would not be released to him and all main quests related to the Elves would come to a halt. Furthermore, he would have to bear never-ending attacks from the Elves.
This consequence was very severe and Li Yi had experienced it first-hand in the past. He had died countless times as he was assassinated by the Elves. It took him two years to change the Elves' impression towards him to Friendly.
"Hideous human. Sif will never yield to the likes from you!"
Li Yi gave out a hopeless sigh as he listened to the familiar words spewing out from Sif's mouth. He did not wish to entertain S&M with this beautiful Elf princess if it were not for the hidden quest...
As Sif finished cleaning the bedroom with all she had, Li Yi immediately commented that it was extremely bad.
Li Yi would throw the useless ingredients onto the ground while concocting potions as Sif was sweeping the floor...
24 hours had yet to pass and Li Yi managed to let Sif escape in just 4 hours.
He got on to his horse and rode it to a certain cave outside the Shattered Frost City. He managed to capture the pitiful Sif with ease and continued to torture her...
Sif's title would change to the Weak Sif if this process were to repeat multiple times.
Sif would not attempt to escape in this state and swaying the princess was not something that could be achieved in a day or two. Hence, Li Yi stopped the swaying process and let her rest as he went towards the Pinnacle of the Fire.
Li Yi had been boosting the others to obtain titles on a daily basis and his business was extremely good as his reputation was extremely well known.
"So how many times have you died Jiaojiao?" Li Yi requested to speak to Jiaojiao as he was on his way.
"You're very cunning you son of a b*tch..."
Jiaojiao went into the Molten Furnace together with the Dark Empire and they were wiped out without managing to get past the first stage.
Chu Tiange had no choice but to disband after the entire party was wiped out 5 to 6 times.
"I told you so. Can't blame me for not believing my words."
Jiaojiao scoffed, "Am I that close with you? Why do you keep messaging me? Are you trying to hit on me?"
"Yeah."
"I'm not interested in a handsome young man like you."
"I guess we're quite similar since I'm not into dark-skinned girls as well."
"You... who are you calling dark-skinned?"
"Have you fought the Heart of the Fire? Do you want to tag along?"
"I'm asking you who're you calling dark-skinned..." Jiaojiao started to grumble.
"Come to the Heart of the Fire. You can have all of the equipment and you'll even get a title too."
Li Yi sent a party invitation to Jiaojiao and she eventually joined the party after three to four minutes.
...
There were three clients today but they did not seem to be rich because they only wanted the title of Firearm Master.
The Firearm Master title would cost 500 Gold Coins for each person and these three titles did not even amount to the title Major Cannon King. Li Yi really did not want to take up this request if they did not keep pestering him for so many days.
The three clients from the Giant clan were waiting for Li Yi for a long time as he rushed to the entrance of the Fire of the Heart Instance Dungeon.
One of them had a face with a full mustache. He was no other than One Gunman, the profiteer who loitered around the Auction House every day.
The other one was the incredibly lucky Giant healer Orchid Elf, who was enjoying her time fooling around with the Matchstick Staff in her hands.
The last one was a male Giant with a round face. Li Yi knew of him as well. He was no other than Silver Pig, who had been hogging the title Super Major Cannon King in the past life.
One Gunman introduced the rest to Li Yi. "This is my wife Orchid Elf and the other one is my friend Silver Pig."
Li Yi was very acquainted with Orchid Elf and Silver Pig. However, he had only seen One Gunman in the Auction House and had never spoken to him before. The way he acted made Li Yi felt that he was an old friend of his even though they were not familiar with each other.
It was now clear why that Orchid Elf insisted on playing as a Giant healer. Naturally, only a Giant could be fitting to another Giant.
Li Yi sighed emotionally within himself.
Then, Jiaojiao had arrived. Although her expression looked extremely unfriendly, Li Yi completely ignored her and immediately entered the Instance Dungeon.
Li Yi refunded the Gold Coins back to One Gunman.
"I'm not going to take your money as payment today. Let's make a trade."
"What kind of trade?" One Gunman quickly put away the money.
"Once we've cleared the Instance Dungeon, I want your wife to open the treasure chest and all of the equipment belongs to me."
"Is that it?" One Gunman was very skeptical about it.
"I've already refunded you the money. What else can I cheat you with?"
"That's true. Hehe alright then. You've got a deal." One Gunman put a smile on his face.
They cleared off multiple monsters with ease and five of them had successfully seized the cannon tower.
It was not easy for the client as well as they were responsible for transporting the cannon shells.
"Boom! Boom!"
Jiaojiao released two cannons instantaneously and did a 189 combo. She was so excited that she kept screaming happily, so much so that she had long forgotten about Li Yi calling her dark-skinned.
Although it was earlier by a year, Jiaojiao's technique was more or less similar in his past life.
Li Yi could not help but sigh after witnessing it.
In Li Yi's past life, Jiaojiao started playing the King of Pantheon a year earlier than him. However, she played for a few months since the server opened up and had been inactive for a long time. Then, she returned back to the game after Li Yi had just recently joined.
"The cannon shells. Quickly!"
Jiaojiao screamed at the top of her lungs. She was so caught in the moment that she had long forgotten that she was a girl...
Li Yi was getting more and more excited as he looked at the combo going up.
"Load all of the cannon towers with the cannon shells!"
Ten cannon towers were filled up with that one command.
Then, Li Yi shouted, "Continue filling them and don't stop doing so!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Ten cannon towers shot out instantaneously and the combo instantly shot up to 6931!
