MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

Panda Novel

“Cancel your account, and change that name!” The large square-faced man immediately blew his top.

“If I cancel my account and go through the verification again, it’ll take half a month. I don’t wanna.”

“You’re a teacher, how could you have a name like that? Listen to your Big Brother, cancel your account and change it…” As soon as the large square-jawed man saw that a harsh tone would not get him anywhere, he used a gentler voice.

“You’re scolding me, yet aren’t you no better yourself? You’re the CEO of a company, and you dare call yourself Flower… Hmph-hmph, watch out, I might tell Dad.”

“Okay, okay, okay, you got me. Do as you like then.” The square-jawed man was so angry he stomped his foot.

He entered King of Pantheon out of necessity for the sake of the company’s future prospects, unlike Zhang Yan who was here purely for fun.

…

The interior of Eastcloud Valley was extremely large. To put it slightly exaggeratedly, it could more or less accommodate fifty thousand people training in here at the same time, so the Huashan Guild had to be only ones who could do something like collect an extortion fee.

There were many Black Wolves, high- and low-level ones all mixed together, Big Wolves and Small Wolves moving in a pack together. The most OP part was that every Wolf had a special skill that allowed it to summon its companions.

Just one howl and the Black Wolves from even more than a hundred meters away would instantly come running. That was also why anyone who tried to solo here without a good bit of power would only end up being pulled to pieces.

Li Yi hid underneath a large concave rock, set the Mutated Small Wild Boar in front of him, and drew his bow at a leisurely pace.

Several hundred Black Wolves surrounded him, darting around the rock, but Li Yi did not order the Mutated Small Wild Boar to attack. Instead, he switched his pet in front of him to Idle Mode.

System Notification: [Black Wolf Wang x 2 obtained.]

System Notification: [Black Wolf Wang x 3 obtained.]

System Notification: [Black Wolf Wang x 1 obtained.]

…

The System Notifications never stopped coming, and Li Yi felt infinitely comforted.

There were eight major races in King of Pantheon, namely Human, Dwarf, White Elf, Dark Elf, Giant, Orc, Werewolf, and Undead.

Different races also had different Innate Abilities.

For example, the Dwarf’s Innate Ability was a natural +20 to the skill Forgery, and they also had an ultimate instant escape move in Instant Slip-Away. It was relatively useful in the early stages of the game.

Why could Chen Yang the Fatty snatch 200 Wooden Logs and earn the title of Pathfinder? It would not have been possible for him if he had not chosen the Dwarf race.

Humans had three Innate Abilities—Diplomacy, Sensory, and Careful Calculation.

The Diplomacy Innate Ability allowed Humans to build a relationship with NPCs more easily, and the Reputation they earned would also be 10% higher than other races. Meanwhile, Sensory could counter special skills like Stealth, so it was known as the ultimate PK move and was especially brutal toward the Thief class.

As for Careful Calculation, although it was not as strong as the previous two Innate Abilities, in Li Yi’s eyes, this Innate Ability that others thought of as trash was the most important one. It could be said that if it were not for this Innate Ability, he would not have chosen to be a Human.

Humans were not the only ones with Innate Abilities that could counter skills like Stealth. The Dark Elf’s Dark Touch, the Undead’s Breath of the Living, and the Werewolf’s Sharp Sense of Smell could all do that as well, and they could do it better than Humans could.

On the other hand, Careful Calculation meant that when farming quest items from monsters, there was a high chance of obtaining more quest items, from 2 to 10 times more.

The Black Wolf Fang that Li Yi was farming now was one such quest item. If he had not accepted the Hunt Black Wolves quest, he would not be able to farm these Wolf Fangs.

That was exactly the function of Careful Calculation, increasing the production quantity of quest items.

Every race had three Innate Abilities, and each of these Innate Abilities was very powerful. To most players, the Humans’ Careful Calculation only allowed them to save some time when farming quest items. Other than that, it had no other uses.

It was true that it had no other uses. Players only began to gradually prioritize the Careful Calculation Innate Ability toward the later stages. Later on in the game, the number of quest items required for both class quests and story quests became astronomical. Quest items could not be obtained via trade, so players could only farm them with their own hands. Only then did the players abruptly realize just how strong the Careful Calculation Innate Ability was.

There were about a hundred and ten Black Wolves each time, and if he killed them all, he would probably obtain about 200+ Black Wolf Fangs. If he did not have Careful Calculation, he might not even get 50 Wolf Fangs.

The Black Wolves respawned very quickly, with only a short five minutes in between. Every time Li Yi finished killing a set, he would run out and loot the bodies.

Black Wolves did not drop any equipment, only some random materials like Wolf Skins, Wolf Bones, and Wolf Soul Crystals.

A piece of complete Wolf Skin could be sold for 3 Silver Coins, whereas a Grade Five or above Wolf Bone could be sold for 5 Silver Coins. As for the Wolf Soul Crystals, they had the lowest drop rates but were also sold for the lowest price. Even a shop would only buy them for one Copper Coin.

There was a Werewolf NPC at the entrance to Eastcloud Valley who only bought these Wolf Soul Crystals, and ten crystals could be exchanged for ten Intermediate-level Recovery Red-Blue Potions. Most players did not understand the value of the Wolf Soul Crystals, and they would usually exchange them for Red-Blue Potions with the Werewolf NPC.

Li Yi was at no shortage of funds, so he did not care about the Wolf Skins or Bones at all. What he really prioritized was the Wolf Soul Crystals.

He was grinding in Eastcloud Valley. Although he knew the method and was progressing at a decent speed, the downside was that this place did not drop any equipment, which made it far inferior to the Frost Labyrinth dungeon in that sense.

The Wolf Fang quest items were only Li Yi’s secondary motive for coming to Eastcloud Valley. His main objective was to collect Wolf Soul Crystals.

More and more Black Wolves died by Li Yi’s hand, and after three whole days, he finally settled the 1000 quest items he needed. He also obtained more than 90 Black Wolf Crystals.

The people from the Huashan Guild had long since been chased out of the valley by the large square-jawed man, and now Eastcloud Valley was the very picture of peace. The hunting howls of the parties lasted from dawn to dusk.

“We Werewolves can only use our power to its full extent on full moon nights.”

At the entrance to the valley, the Werewolf NPC kept repeating that line of nonsense without getting tired of it.

Li Yi walked up to the spot next to the Werewolf NPC and set up his stall. ‘Will infinitely buy Wolf Soul Crystals at 30 Copper Coins per piece.’

30 Copper Coins were enough to buy 3 Red-Blue Potions from the Werewolf NPC, and ten Wolf Soul Crystals could only be exchanged for 10 bottles. The price Li Yi offered was much better than the NPC’s.

Many players gathered around him, an endless chatter of questions. However, Li Yi had muted messages from strangers in his settings a long time ago, so no matter what they asked, he could not hear a thing.

One Wolf Soul Crystal after another fell into Li Yi’s hands.

If they did not understand its value, keeping it was pointless anyway. This was especially true of transition items like this. Even if you hoarded them, once everyone’s levels went up, they would become useless anyway. They might as well be exchanged for money right now.

As he saw more and more Wolf Soul Crystals enter his Backpack, Li Yi’s heart was beside itself with joy.

Unlike the other transition period items, this thing would never drop in value. Instead, it would only grow more and more valuable by the day.
