Chapter 45: Seeking Trouble (3)

Upon seeing so many people attack him, Li Huailin was quite happy. He should have provoked these big guilds from the very beginning. He found the numbers on his screen rather lovely.

During the battle, Li Huailin didn’t slow down his movement. He sped up and rushed towards the closest player nearby. It was apparently a Rogue class

-958 (Critical Hit)

Since the Rogue wasn’t a class that had a lot of health points. Li Huailin killed the rogue called Blue Sky Six Cures[1] with a single attack. At the same time, countless magic spells had also struck Li Huailin like shooting stars.

-91. This was from a fireball summoned by one of the Mages.

-41. This was from a warrior’s attack.

-56. This was from a hunter’s Aimed Shot.

If one took into account Li Huailin’s abnormally high defense, these attacks weren’t bad at all. The good thing was that there were so many people attacking him. However, Li Huailin still found some numbers that annoyed him.

+35. This was from a warlock’s Corruption Spell.

+6. This was the debuff, Burning, caused by the fireballs.

+20. This is the debuff, Bleeding, caused by the warrior’s attack.

…

During this round of attack, Li Huailin’s health points dropped a lot at first, and then it quickly recovered. In the end, Li Huailin lost only about a quarter of his health points.

“He’s so tough! Why?” A Mage from the World Destruction guild shouted. His Fireball Spell had already reached level 2 and the damage it could cause to an average player was at least 150. The numbers never went above 100 when the fireballs hit Li Huailin.

“His physical defense is also incredibly high!” the Rogue beside him also shouted.

Nine Song was quite shocked. He thought that they would kill this guy within a second, but the fact was that he had only lost a quarter of his health points, it was something he couldn’t understand at all. Since he was unable to see Li Huailin’s stats, he simply thought that Li Huailin had an unreasonable amount of health.

“You guys are too weak…” Li Huailin kept mocking them, he was pissing off all of the guild members. “Bring it on boys! You need another hundred men to tickle me.”

Then, without hesitation, Li Huailin hacked a Warrior standing beside him two times.

-517, -499

Although the Warrior’s defense wasn’t bad, his health points were still very limited. The Warrior rolled his eyes and was immediately sent to heaven.

“Bang!”

Li Huailin looked down and found a piece of armor shining in green light on the ground. This reminded Li Huailin that he still had a 50% chance to get a piece of equipment from each player he killed.

Unfortunately, Ask Sky didn’t drop anything. That guy was unbelievably rich, anything dropped by a big guild’s leader could bring Li Huailin a fortune. With a smile on his face, Li Huailin picked up the equipment on the ground, threw it into his bag, and then rushed towards another player.

“Keep attacking! He’s not invincible!” Nine Song yelled at the rest of the guild members. A few men had already been brought down at this point. If they didn’t hurry up and killed Li Huailin, the situation would become even worse.

The guild members hurriedly reacted. They began to chant spells and launch attacks again. The Mages and Hunters were relatively safer, after all, Li Huailin was being surrounded by the close-combat class players for now. However, these close-combat classes were suffering. Li Huailin’s attack was incredibly high. Just two attacks could easily bring down each one of them. If it was a critical hit, then one slash would instantly kill them.

With only fewer men left, their damage output went further down. The fight became increasingly slower. They thought that this 1 vs. 50 slaughter would have been finished in just ten seconds, and now, it had taken more than three minutes.

Of course, in the end, Li Huailin died with a satisfied smile on his face. After a flash of white light, a bronze shoulder armor was left on the ground, it was then picked up by Nine Song. This item was once owned by one of the guild’s members. As Li Huailin was the one who took the initiative and launch the attack, he would for sure drop a piece of equipment.

Nine Song kept gasping hard, he had never felt so tired in this game, not even when he was fighting a boss in a dungeon. For a few times, he almost felt like giving up. When the fight finally came to an end, he hurriedly asked the remaining guild members, “How many people do we still have?”

“Deputy Leader, 23 guild members died in the fight,” a Warrior player whose face was covered in sweat responded to him. “All of our Rogues and half of our Warriors are dead, a couple of ranged attackers had also died. We lost 11 pieces of equipment in total, 2 Blue and 9 Bronze equipment. We only got 2 of them back, he took away the rest.”

“Fu*k!” Nine Song sweared.

“Oh fu*k! Kickass Brother is indeed a monster. He’s even more powerful than a boss,” one of the remaining members exclaimed.

“No wonder his name is Kickass Brother. I didn’t believe it at the beginning, this fight has really broadened my knowledge,” another player said.

“All of you shut up!” Nine Song roared at them. He didn’t know how to report this to Ask Sky, the leader of the guild. They had 50 people at the start and half of them died just to kill a single person. No matter how it’s viewed, it couldn’t be called a victory.

Just as he was in thought, Ask Sky’s name popped up on the guild channel, “Nine Song, did you kill him?”

“We did, but…” Nine Song frowned. “He was too abnormally strong, both in terms attack and defense…. he killed half of our people.”

‘What?” Ask Sky couldn’t believe what he heard. He thought that at first, Li Huailin only had an abnormally high attack damage, it turned out that his defense was also inconceivably high. “Are you serious? How is this possible?”

“We have no idea. He’s basically a boss in human shape. Leader, what shall we do?” Nine Song asked.

“Wait a minute. I’m halfway there, wait for me until I come back. Ask those who got killed earlier to come back as well. We will definitely not let him escape, anyone who dares to mess with the World Destruction guild shall be killed back to the newbie village, this also includes Kickass Brother.” Ask Sky sounded extremely exasperated and furious now.

“Alright,” Nine Song nodded and then began to arrange the plans.

Back to Li Huailin’s side. Li Huailin had just been sent to the respawn point and he was laughing like a maniac.

“2 pieces of Blue equipment and 7 Bronze ones. Sh*t! I should have come up with this method of making money earlier!” Li Huailin looked at the pieces of equipment in his bag as he talked to himself with a smile, “I also received 3,640 Experience Points. My gains this time are absolutely perfect. I have both equipment and experience, it’s way far more reliable than robbing people. Those fellows from the Brotherhood of World Destruction are really good guys!”

Li Huailin suddenly became addicted to this. Provoking a big guild was a business that could bring him a ton of profit with no cost. He simply had to keep doing it.

After he went to the bank first, he used the money he earned from selling the potions and bought 10 slots of inventory space with 1 Gold Coin, he then bought another 10 slots using 10 Gold Coins. He stored all of his equipment in the bank except for his lucky bronze sword. After doing so, he rushed towards the south gate one more time.

System notice: You have a long distance call. Answer or not?

While Li Huailin ran through the south gate, the system notice slightly surprised him. He thought that this call was from Ask Sky, but it turned out that the call was made by Spiritual World Night Flyer.

“Yes, Night Flyer?” Li Huailin answered it.

“Huailin, you told me that you needed health potions yesterday. Because our guild is preparing for a new dungeon raid, we’re saving a lot of health potions for ourselves, I can only give you 150 bottles. I’m sorry,” Night Flyer apologized.

“Oh, that’s all right.” Li Huailin had no intention to ask for anything to begin with. Getting these 150 bottles of health potions for free was already a really good gift for him. “But I don’t have time to get them right now. I’m kinda busy.”

“You’re busy? Why? Are you in Abyss Mode again?”

In Night Flyer’s eyes, because Li Huailin could exploit a bug in Abyss Mode, he must be trying his very best to run the dungeon over and over again.

“Oh, no. I’m fighting to make money right now,” Li Huailin said with a smile.

“You’re fighting to make money?” Night Flyer didn’t understand what he meant.

“Well, I’ll catch you later.” Li Huailin was feeling rather excited as he hung up the phone without saying much.

“Hey…” However, before Night Flyer could say anything else, Li Huailin had already hung up, it left Night Flyer at a loss on what to do.

Night Flyer then started to worry about Li Huailin a little bit. It seemed that Li Huailin was in quite a rush to fight other people, he started wondering if Li Huailin was in trouble or something.

“Fire Head, go and ask the Information Department if something’s going on.”

“No problem.” The man standing beside Night Flyer, Fire Head, nodded.
