Chapter 72: No Shooting BlanksEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang..."
He had been shooting loads for so many days, but Li Yi never felt as good doing so as he did today. He did not need to really think about how to shoot, and he just put his mindless all into the shooting, watching as the combo rose madly.
[Combo 13,800!]
[Combo 15,780!]
[Combo 19,810!]
[Combo 21,800!]
"Warning, warning, the cannon emplacent area will explode in 10 seconds. Beginning countdown: 10, 9, 8, ..."
"Retreat!"
Jiaojiao barked loudly and fired off another shot, settling their combo count at 23,799!
"23,799..."
When Li Yi saw the combo count, even he was stunned.
Even he had not expected that they could shoot so many loads today. The cannon-shooting today was far beyond their regular standards.
System Notification: [Your party’s cannon combo has exceeded 20,000 tis. This event has been recorded in the World Hall of Fa.]
"The Hall of Fa!"
Li Yi’s heart was given one more jolt.
"Hall of Fa? What’s that do?" Orchid Elf bit the tip of her finger, perplexed.
"Silly, of course it’s for bragging rights. I got sothing that you don’t and all that, haha." One Gunman was so excited that he spun around in circles. He did not spend even one Gold Coin today and still got two titles as well as a place in the Hall of Fa. Truly... this felt way too damn good, so damn good.
"I haven’t felt this good in a while." Jiaojiao could not stop chuckling.
Li Yi shook his head but did not explain to them the uses of Hall of Fa records. As long as they continued playing, they would soon find out for themselves even without his explanation.
"Take
as your disciple, Master!" Silver Pig suddenly ran up to Li Yi, his expression full of idolatry.
"..."
Li Yi was slightly exasperated. This Mr Silver Pig had also been quite the celebrity in the past life as he had persistently battled the Heart of Fire for eight years. That sheer determination was already sothing no ordinary player could hope to match.
Li Yi still rembered how envious he had been of Silver Pig’s combo record. He had even devoted several months in a row to challenging it, but he still could not beat Silver Pig’s combo record.
Well, things sure had taken a twist this ti around. The tables had turned, and his particularly good form had resulted in a combo record that was even higher than the one Silver Pig spent eight years on...
Silver Pig’s expression was full of anticipation. "Master, teach
how to shoot loads."
Li Yi waved his hand. "I don’t accept disciples, but if you wanna learn the skill, I can give you a formula for success."
"What formula?" Silver Pig was instantly alert.
Straight-facedly, Li Yi said, "Don’t fire blanks and hit it from behind."1
"Don’t fire blanks and hit it from behind..." Silver Pig muttered it to himself a few tis and then his expression lit up. He nodded his head at Li Yi powerfully, "Thanks!"
’Thanks for what? This is the formula for success that you ca up with after shooting for eight years in the past life, and you made
study it for many months. Now it’s your turn.’ Li Yi was extrely pleased inwardly.
"Hahahaha..." Jiaojiao laughed until she was doubled over.
Li Yi harrumphed. "What are you laughing about? What’s so funny?"
"It’s nothing, nothing." Jiaojiao shook her head, laughing non-stop with her hand over her mouth.
"C’mon, let’s clear this dungeon!"
Li Yi rallied them with a call and led the way, running out.
Silver Pig remained dazedly where he stood, and as he watched Li Yi’s back, he gripped his fist confidently. "I... I will surely surpass you!"
Many years later, a white-haired Silver Pig finally broke Li Yi’s combo record. Soone asked him, what was the motivation behind your persistence?
"Don’t fire blanks and hit it from behind..." was Silver Pig’s reply.
...
Li Yi’s GS had now reached 339. By now, he felt no pressure at all in running the Heart of Fire dungeon, so they soon reached the end of the dungeon, shattering the Flaming Heart within several minutes.
"As we agreed, Orchid Elf will be the one to loot the boss."
"Go on, darling, the God of Light is watching over you." One Gunman cheered her on from behind.
Orchid Elf strode up to the treasure chest and stretched out her hand to loot it.
Notifications appeared in front of everyone’s eyes:
[Fire Longbow (Gold)]
[Fiery Explosion Shoulder Guard (Gold)]
[Fiery Explosion Greaves (Gold)]
[Fire Crystal Shard x21 (Miscellaneous Item)]
Li Yi sighed. "It still hasn’t dropped?"
Just then, a "ding" rang out by his ear.
[You have found a stone tablet amidst the ruins. Upon closer inspection, you realize that an Arrow Crafting Skill is inscribed onto the stone.]
[Congratulations! You’ve obtained an Interdiate-level Arrow Crafting Skill Guidebook.]
"It dropped..." Li Yi was stunned.
He did not run the Heart of Fire so many tis just to earn a quick buck. His other aim was precisely to obtain this Interdiate-level Arrow Crafting Skill Guidebook of Raoul’s.
"What dropped? Wow, an Inferno Equipnt Set, that’s the best equipnt for Archers!" Jiaojiao saw the list of equipnt and imdiately yelped in surprise.
The Interdiate-level Arrow Crafting Skill Guidebook that Li Yi had obtained was a product of the quest he had accepted, so no one else received that notification. Jiaojiao and the others could not see it even if they wanted to.
"Fire Longbow, Crit Rate 3%. Whoa, these are all legendaries."
They had agreed on it a long ti ago. He carried them so that they could obtain a title for free, but all the equipnt that dropped would belong to Li Yi. That was why, even though One Gunman and the others looked at the legendary equipnt with considerable desire, they could not do anything about it.
The loot option was Master Loot, so they could not take it even if they wanted to.
Li Yi gave all the equipnt and miscellaneous items to Jiaojiao.
He had declared this earlier, stating that no matter what equipnt they obtained from the dungeon, it would all go to Jiaojiao.
Li Yi said with a laugh, "The party is hereby disbanded. It was nice working with you."
"Let’s work together again soday if we get the chance. Haha, bye, bye."
One Gunman and the other two left the party, their bodies vanishing from the dungeon.
...
"That’s weird, why haven’t you ever been this lucky when you run dungeons with ?" Afterwards, a confused One Gunman asked Orchid Elf.
Orchid Elf thought for a mont and replied, "Differs from place to place, I guess."
...
"You’re an Archer too, are you sure you want to give
all this equipnt?" Jiaojiao looked at Li Yi, her head tilted to a side.
"A man never goes back on his word, how could I possibly lie to you?" When Li Yi said that, he could not help but redden slightly. It was instinctive. He had said this many tis in the past life as well, but after saying it, he would always cheat the other party out of everything save their underwear.
"Hahaha, you’re regretting it, aren’t you? Oh dear, it hurts your heart so much that even your face is turning red. It’s fine, we don’t know each other that well, so I won’t take this equipnt."
Jiaojiao gave Li Yi a trade request and placed all the equipnt there.
System Notification: [Player Dark Wing has transferred captain’s rights to Invincible Jiaojiao...]
System Notification: [Player Dark Wing has left the party...]
Li Yi did not press [confirm], his body vanishing from the dungeon.
"Hey, you d*ckface, how could you run!" Jiaojiao was so angry that she stomped her foot.
...
Li Yi’s body appeared at the entrance to the dungeon, and he smiled wryly to himself.
In the past life, he had owed Jiaojiao too much. What was giving her a re few pieces of equipnt, when he could not make it up to her even if he stripped everything off his own body and gave it all to her?
"Haha, Brother Dark Wing, did you just finish that dungeon?"
Hua Feiwu approached him, leading a large group of red-nad subordinates, accompanied by Scumbag Wang from the Huashan Guild.
They all had red nas.
Li Yi blinked for a mont and then smiled as he held his hands in greeting. "Guild Master Hua, it’s a pleasure to see you again."
Inwardly, Li Yi was extrely curious. ’That’s weird, these two were fighting like cats and dogs just yesterday. Why are they best friends again in the blink of an eye?’
"Pleasure’s mine, all mine." Hua Feiwu turned around and gave his n a look. More than ten of his subordinates all rushed up at once, surrounding Li Yi.
Li Yi’s expression darkened. "Guild Master Hua, what is the aning of this?"
"It’s nothing." Before Hua Feiwu could reply, Scumbag Wang strode out confidently and pointed at Li Yi as he said, "We’re giving you two choices. One, join the Century Flower Guild, or two, join the Huashan Guild."
Just then, Li Yi received a private ssage from Delicately Cute.
"Century Flower and Huashan are working together to kill the mbers of Dark Empire everywhere, you better watch out."

The second part of the saying refers to a kungfu move that can supposedly hit an object through an obstacle, literally ’hit the cow behind the mountain’. However, the saying also refers to a sex position where the woman lies flat on her face and the man approaches from behind.
