Chapter 233: Who’s Most ImportantEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Who dares bully my Jiaojiao? I’ll kill him!"
"Bring a few more people over. All you gotta do is scare him off a little, don’t kill him for real, or else it’ll get complicated. At the most, just bust up his *sshole or kick him in the balls."
Li Yi went, "..."
"Which motherf*cker dares to harass my Jiaojiao?"
Ten minutes later, Li Yi used a different tone as he yelled loudly, stressing his vocal cords. After a while, he called Jiaojiao again.
"It’s done, that son-of-a-b*tch’s has gone into hiding, you’re safe for now."
"There isn’t anyone else aside from you outside, is there?" Jiaojiao was still slightly worried.
"Nope, the coast is clear."
"Creak~"
The door opened and Jiaojiao poked her head out, noticing Li Yi.
"You’re Perverted Wing? Why do you look kinda familiar? I feel like I’ve seen you sowhere before..." Jiaojiao observed Li Yi and murmured, almost to herself.
"Can I go in?"
In the past life, Li Yi had already beco extrely close to Jiaojiao, such that there were no barriers between them. Now, however, he had no choice but to play along with her exasperatedly. He was trying to build a good relationship with her, but according to her current limits.
"Co in then." Jiaojiao boldly opened the door wide.
Li Yi walked inside and taunted her, "What’s with the sudden gutsiness? Doth my ears deceive ?"
Jiaojiao said with a contemptuous humph, "Tsk, I’ve always had plenty of guts. Well, the reason I dare to allow you in is ’cuz you look just like a weak little bottom, so you clearly don’t have much fighting power."
Li Yi chuckled. In order to present Jiaojiao with a best first impression, he had not acted particularly fierce.
"C’mon, have a drink."
Jiaojiao brought out a canned drink and handed it to Li Yi.
"I’ve never t an online friend in real life before, you’re the first. Could be worse, you look like you couldn’t hurt a fly."
The two of them were already rather familiar with each other in-ga. This was especially true of Li Yi, who always played a few relatively harmless pranks on her. As a result, the two of them were not awkward around each other at all, and soon the conversation ward up.
Their conversation seed to cover every topic under the sun, covering everything from the ga to airplanes. They even talked about cruise ships and cannons, until finally, they began to trash-talk the b*stard downstairs.
"That b*stard downstairs is always threatening
and yelling at . My mom can’t even get a good night’s sleep because of him."
"Shouldn’t you report this to the cops?" Li Yi sniggered inwardly.
Jiajiao said with a straight face, "Report my *ss, I just moved here so I don’t know the place or the people. Don’t you watch the news? This pretty girl tries to report sothing to the police but they detained her instead, and in the end, they took turns doing you-know-what to her."
Li Yi was shocked. "Where did you read this news?"
Jiaojiao thought it over. "I think it was on a pop-up site called SIS or sothing."
Li Yi said, "..."
"You’re always at ho, right? Then I’ll call you again next ti. Co to think of it, though, why do I feel like your voice sounds just like the b*stard from downstairs?"
Li Yi chuckled. "D’you wanna know why? You damned b*tch."
"F*ck!"
A drink bottle flew at him, but Li Yi had anticipated this, so he tilted his head and avoided it.
Jiaojiao was so angry that her little face was completely red. "You son of a gun, that’s way dirty, that’s low! You live downstairs from , and yet... and yet..."
"And yet what?" Li Yi drank his beverage, his expression calm.
"You harassed !" Jiaojiao roared.
"It was your fault for not telling
your address."
"You gave
a fake address!" Jiaojiao was even more furious.
Li Yi’s expression was completely unrepentant. "I was bored so I had to find sothing fun to do. Why the temper? Co, smile one for ."
"F*ck you, you son of a gun!" Jiaojiao was clearly still mad.
"Oh, sh*t!"
Li Yi suddenly rembered sothing. He smacked his thigh hard and then ran out, shoving the door open as he went.
"Whatchu doing?"
"My character wasn’t in a Safe Zone when you turned off the power. Damned b*tch, you’ve done it this ti!"
When Li Yi said that, Jiaojiao was stunned for a mont. She ran toward her bedroom hurriedly, put on her helt, and entered the ga.
Li Yi logged into the ga and appeared in Eastcloud Valley’s palace. Everything before him was a cloud of white, which clearly ant that he was currently in soul form.
Upon checking his equipnt, Li Yi’s heart sank and he ran toward the direction of his corpse.
Everything in his Backpack was still there, but one item was missing from his equipped equipnt. The
16 Maylia’s Ring of Windstorms was gone!
The place where Li Yi and Wind-on-Snow had their conversation earlier was not a Safe Zone. Instead, it was an area where monsters between Levels 15 and 25 spawned. The sudden power outage had forced Li Yi out of the ga, but his in-ga character could not log off that quickly. It would take 5 minutes of inactivity for the system to kick him out.
If he was surrounded by a monsterling for 5 minutes, it did not matter if Li Yi had 8,500
HP. It would still be too much for him to tank.
When he ran back to his corpse, Li Yi’s heart twisted in his chest.
An Elite-level Ice Toad with a blue na was crouching next to his corpse, croaking away.
The Ice Toad had very high ATK and could use poison as well. Even without witnessing it, Li Yi could guess that he had been killed by this Ice Toad.
Li Yi resurrected and shot madly at the Ice Toad, killing it within a dozen seconds or so. He took a long, deep breath before he went forth to loot it.
If the equipnt a player dropped was not picked up by anyone else, it would never disappear. However, if this Ice Toad had picked up the Ring of Windstorms, things might get hairy.
The chances of the toad dropping it again were not 100%. There was a certain probability that the Ring of Windstorms would vanish forever.
[You obtained a piece of Toad Skin...]
...
It did not drop the Ring of Windstorms...
Li Yi’s heart sank.
"What’s the matter? You didn’t drop anything, did you?" Jiaojiao sent him a voice ssage.
"I lost the
16 Ring of Windstorms." Li Yi sighed slightly.
Jiaojiao could see the true attributes of all of Li Yi’s equipnt because Li Yi had never once hidden it from her.
"Perverted... Perverted Wing, that... that’s can’t be true, can it?" Jiaojiao was stunned as well.
Li Yi said angrily, "Why would I lie to you?"
Jiaojiao’s voice had changed. "Sorry, I... I didn’t an it."
A
16 Maylia’s Ring of Windstorms was no longer sothing that could be bought with Gold Coins. It would be no exaggeration to call it a priceless treasure.
"C’mon, please say sothing? Sob sob, I’m sorry, I really didn’t an it," said Jiaojiao, her voice choked.
Li Yi was exasperated by Jiaojiao’s reaction. "What’s the matter with you? Why are you crying? It’s just a piece of equipnt, and it’s not like I’ll kill you for it. If you really feel bad about it, let
have my way with you as compensation."
"I’ll agree to anything but that, sob sob..." Jiaojiao was still crying.
Jiaojiao’s level may be low, but she knew perfectly which pieces of equipnt were worth thousands and which were not worth a penny. She was perfectly aware that once one lost an uber legendary Epic-level item like Maylia’s Ring of Windstorms, it was extrely likely that it would never be found again.
"It’s fine, I was kidding. It’s just a piece of equipnt, if I dropped I just gotta farm for it again. Why are you crying over it?"
"Sob sob sob, I can’t afford to compensate you for it."
"I never asked you for compensation. If you really want to make it up to , sure, just take your ti, haha."
Jiaojiao was silent for a while and only replied after a long pause, "You sure are a weird one. You lost such a precious piece of equipnt, so why are you not mad in the slightest?"
"I play the ga to make myself happy, so why should I be mad?"
Li Yi’s words rendered Jiaojiao instantly speechless.
If this was the past life, Li Yi would never be able to act so blasé about it. However, things were different in this life. After learning his lesson from the past life, Li Yi was much more open-minded about everything.
Forget causing him to lose one piece of equipnt, he would not be angry at Jiaojiao even if she stripped off all his equipnt and sold it to an NPC.
"Why?" Jiaojiao could not help but ask one more ti.
"Do you really wanna know why?" Li Yi coughed slightly and said, half teasingly and half seriously, "Because in my eyes, you’re much more important than the Ring of Windstorms."
This incident truly did not an much to Li Yi, but the impact Li Yi’s actions had on Jiaojiao were extrely imnse.
Initially, Jiaojiao had always harbored a sliver of wariness against Li Yi. After all, the two of them were not yet as close as they had been in the previous life. After this incident, however, Jiaojiao’s last defenses against Li Yi vanished without a trace.
"Alright, don’t give it any more thought. The ring’s gone anyway, so why shouldn’t we make ourselves happier about things? If I can get one of those, I’d definitely be able to get a second. If you overthink it, you’ll just make yourself unhappy."
It was a strange sight. Li Yi was the one who lost his equipnt, but here he was comforting Jiaojiao.
Li Yi walked around the area and killed all of the monsterlings he saw, looting every single one. However, he still could not find anything whatsoever, so he had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and log off.
The first thing Li Yi did upon logging off was to spend 3,000,000 buying a solar charger online. With this, forget the main power switch getting turned off, he would not be affected even if the whole world lost all power.
It was a lesson learned the hard way. Li Yi did not fancy the sa thing happening again in the future.
Thinking back on Wind-on-Snow’s words, Li Yi went to the official site. Just a casual glance and he instantly had a headache.
The picture of him hugging Wind-on-Snow full frontal in order to provoke her was currently going viral on the official site. It looked like this was the reason Wind-on-Snow decided to stop playing the ga...
"Sigh..." Li Yi shook his head helplessly. He was all-powerful in the ga, but there was absolutely nothing he could do about a photo making its rounds on the official site.
His previous title of Archer God had changed as well, becoming Toucher God.
The trending topic these days had been Tyrannic Dynasty, but with that, the spotlight had turned back to the evergreen Li Yi.
"Thank goodness Lil Snow doesn’t look exactly the sa in-ga as she does in real life, or else..."
Now that it had co to this, Li Yi could only count on the silver linings.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Just then, his room door took a heavy hamring, and Jiaojiao’s voice reached his ears.
"Perverted Wing, log into the ga and check your mailbox."
"Why? D’you wanna co in?" Li Yi got up.
"I’m going upstairs, my mom’s almost ho so I gotta cook for her." Jiaojiao ran back upstairs.
"My mailbox?"
Li Yi scratched his head and put on his helt, logging into the ga.
Rubbing the Return City Stone, Li Yi returned to Shattered Frost City and went to a mailbox.
A mail jumped out at him, and Li Yi chose to open it. There was a loud "ding
