Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Li Yi watched as Clutch King, Snow Chaser, and the others argued so loudly that they did not want to listen to the other party. Watching this scene, he himself did not know what to say either.
At that moment, Dream Seeker patted him on the shoulder. Seeing that Dream Seeker had something to say, the surrounding people stopped what they were saying and stared at him.
They saw that Dream Seeker had sent an invitation for a duel to Carefree Dream.
Everyone was puzzled, including Li Yi.
“What are you doing?”
“I once swore to myself that I would have a proper duel with you one day, and I hope you can fulfill my wish.”
“Well... Alright then.”
Li Yi and Dream Seeker turned on the duel mode.
Clutch King and Snow Chaser did not understand the situation; not just the two, even Winnie felt that Dream Seeker was acting oddly.
His methods had clearly been exposed, so how was he going to fight Li Yi next.
Dream Seeker took out a long blade from his backpack and got into an offensive stance.
Li Yi looked at it in puzzlement.
“Aren’t you going to hide?”
“In this kind of environment, there’s no point in hiding anymore.”
“Alright then.”
Li Yi did not say anything else as he held the black shield and the magic sword in his hands.
After seeing the black shield and the magic sword, Dream Seeker’s eyes lit up.
“You’ve got some good stuff, I’ve never seen equipment like this before. It’s perfect level, right?”
“That’s right, so you have to be careful.”
“I will.”
With that, Dream Seeker instantly appeared in front of Li Yi.
Dream Seeker and Clutch King were of the same class, and they had the same characteristics — they were fast and agile. They both liked to hide in places and suddenly appear out of nowhere when faced with an enemy.
Li Yi could be said to be very adept at dealing with this type of enemy.
He directly activated Raging Blood Roar, and a bloody mist rose around Li Yi.
“-21,021! Critical Hit.”
In a flash, the battle ended.
Dream Seeker looked at Li Yi in disbelief.
In a flash, Li Yi had killed him.
Clutch King had long since gotten used to Li Yi’s moves, but Dream Seeker had not.
Dream Seeker looked at Li Yi, he was clearly baffled. As expected, this was the strength of the number one player on the leaderboard. The disparity in power was so big that Dream Seeker would probably never be able to catch up to it in his lifetime.
“Well, I was too into the battle, sorry.”
“Woah, bro you’re seriously so awesome. That blow was insane!”
“Wow! Carefree Dream is so cool!”
Winnie celebrated like a cheerleader for Li Yi’s deserved victory.
Dream Seeker stood rooted to the ground, looking at Li Yi in front of him. In his mind, he had imagined a scene of him and Li Yi dominating the martial arts world together.
Ever since he was able to find treasures that others could not find, he had often been hunted down. Being hunted down all year round made him unexpectedly cautious, but this kind of life was really tiring to live for good reason,
He had always been looking for guilds that he could trust, but no matter what guild it was, there were times where they were defeated by others.
Up until now, he did not know how many guilds he had tried to rely on, but it did not take long before the other party chased him away because there were too many people who wanted to kill him.
If the group he was in was not a true powerhouse, they would not be able to protect him at all.
So when he met Li Yi, he was obviously weary. If Li Yi was not strong enough, then there was no point in joining him.
However, now he was not worried. Li Yi was strong enough to allow him to operate safely in this world.
This was what he seeked for.
Moreover, the atmosphere of these players seemed to be friendly and fun.
Dream Seeker made a decision in his heart and knelt down in front of Li Yi.
“Please let me join your team.”
This time, Dream Seeker completely stunned Li Yi.
Was this not a little too formal? Li Yi pulled Dream Seeker up with an embarrassed look on his face.
“There’s no need to be so dramatic, as long as you’re willing to join, you’re in.”
“Yeah bro, we’re just missing the last ceremony.”
“A ceremony?”
Clutch King and Snow Chaser smiled and did not say anything.
It was not until Dream Seeker followed them into the military camp that they arrived in front of the Knight Commander.
Li Yi sent Dream Seeker a squad invitation in front of the Knight Commander.
[System notification: Are you willing to become a West Wind Knight Member from Carefree Dream’s Squad?]
Dream Seeker looked at the notification in front of him. This was his ticket to becoming a true squad member. A squad member recognized by the system and also recognized by his squadmates. Dream Seeker did not expect Li Yi to trust him so much, so he gently tapped on the screen to say yes.
[System Notification: Congratulations to the player for officially becoming a West Wind Knight Member from Carefree Dream’s Squad.]
Dream Seeker saw a title above his head appear.
[West Wind Knight Member from Carefree Dream’s Squad]
With this title, he really did not need to hide his identity anymore.
Dream Seeker looked at Li Yi and gratefully said, “Thank you!”
“You’re welcome. We’ll be teammates from now on.”
The Knights Commander handed a squad token to Dream Seeker.
Looking at the token in his hand, Dream Seeker felt a myriad of emotions. He was officially recognized as a squad member, and it felt different from those self-organized guilds.
This time, he had a strong backing, which meant that everyone would have to act together in the future to not be destroyed.
After everyone left the military camp, they decided to practice some tacit understanding between everyone before the Faction War tomorrow.
Currently, Dream Seeker was level 24, Winnie was level 22, Snow Chaser was level 23, Clutch King was level 26, Li Yi was level 27 and was about to reach level 28. It would be a good time to farm monsters and level up before the war.
Of course, Snow Chaser could not level up yet, at least not until the day after tomorrow.
They were going to the familiar Beast Prairie, and this time they were going there by carriage.
They did not know where Dream Seeker had his own carriage, but no one questioned it seeing that it was a free ride.
Everyone sat in the carriage. After Li Yi sent the location to Dream Seeker, Dream Seeker rode the carriage towards the marked coordinates.
“Dream Seeker, how did you become a Treasure Merchant?”
“Right, I should probably share about that to you all.”
Everyone pricked up their little ears to listen.
Dream Seeker, used to just be an ordinary Warrior Apprentice who liked to converse with NPCs. One time, he met a farmer. The farmer mentioned that he used to be an adventurer as well, but he had already retired.
His daughter was lost. After Dream Seeker helped him find his daughter, the farmer gave him a special Crystal Ball, that Crystal Ball was the only magic treasure in this world that could sense whether there was a treasure within a 50 by 50 area.
After finding it, Dream Seeker began to search for all sorts of treasure. This was how he found his Chameleon Camouflage skill.
“Then what’s up with the bombs and stuff?”
Just as Dream Seeker was about to explain, Li Yi cut in.
“That’s a skill called Item Throwing. It can throw items in your bag. Moreover, the damage of the items you throw will be increased by 50%.”
“That’s right. Ordinary bombs can’t deal too much damage to players. However, with this skill, they can deal objective damage.”
“Cool!”
“That sounds amazing!”
After listening to Li Yi and Dream Seeker’s explanation, everyone came to a sudden realization, their admiration for Li Yi’s vast knowledge increased.
