Chapter 353: Chapter 334: Turmoil Rising Again
At this moment, although Yuna had logged off, the public opinion about her was intensifying.
From the fragmented conversations around him, Lin Yi could never have imagined that Yuna’s previous gesture of goodwill towards him on the forum would subject her to such immense public pressure in her own country.
Suddenly, the image of Yuna as a sinister and cunning person in Lin Yi’s mind shattered instantly.
This led Lin Yi to start questioning which version of her was the true one?
Lin Yi looked at the scroll in his hand, worth more than its weight in gold, and suddenly came to an epiphany.
At this moment, the big screen had already updated and displayed twenty rare pets.
And this would become the main ’battlefield’ where players would compete against each other.
In this game, the value of rare pets always surpassed that of equipment and mounts of the same level.
Solely because the avenues to obtain rare pets were much fewer, and the probability much lower than the other two.
The key point is, equipment becomes obsolete as levels increase, but pets do not.
With the update of rare pets, the discussion about Yuna gradually concluded, and players’ eyes collectively shifted to the screen.
However, everyone had not forgotten Lin Yi’s presence, as he was already heavily surrounded by top-tier players from the Goryeo War Zone who kept arriving.
It seemed like they were ready to go all out against him.
But Lin Yi didn’t mind and instead focused his gaze on the display screen.
Rare pets were just as important to him.
After all, Lin Yi had a group of ’starving’ teammates waiting behind him.
Once this matter concluded, he could almost take them to start the next team instance (dungeon).
While thinking about his own matters, Lin Yi glanced at the screen.
Having just spent nine thousand points on a piece of equipment, Lin Yi had over twenty-seven thousand points left.
According to the nine thousand points each calculation, he could still snatch up 3 more...
At this thought, Lin Yi wondered if he was being too harsh?
But thinking that the target was this group of Goryeo guys, he felt at ease.
Not to mention whether the task this time could be completed, just the rewards from the point exchange alone were worth the trip.
Moreover, it wasn’t a loss since he was grabbing things originally belonging to the Goryeo guys.
Among the twenty rare pets, Lin Yi noticed that the Rare·Unicorn would suit Zhang Xinying, considerably enhancing her Light Magic effects and providing a 10% skill cooldown reduction;
As the only healer in the team, her strength directly concerned the survival ability of the entire team.
Besides, when returning to open the team instance, she would be the core of the team, so Lin Yi’s first thought of her wasn’t entirely for personal reasons.
Another choice was the Rare·Frenzied Demon Bear for Mute or stable as a mountain, which not only enhanced defense capabilities but also provided some burst damage, offering support for their output.
As the team’s tank, their role was as crucial as Zhang Xinying’s, and when options were available, they were undoubtedly prioritized.
When Lin Yi was hesitantly deciding who to choose for the last one, he suddenly noticed that Cui Dongxu had selected the Rare·Double-headed Sunbird.
That’s when Lin Yi noticed that Cui Dongxu’s profession was the same as Yuna’s, which had fire attribute damage – a Spirit Priest.
And among these twenty rare pets, the one with a fire attribute bonus was only the Rare·Double-headed Flame Bird.
So, it was Cui Dongxu’s only choice.
Seeing this, Lin Yi could only chuckle to himself: the third one was settled, and it was a bargain for this brat.
With that decided, Lin Yi immediately logged off to inform Zhang Xinying of his decision, to prevent their pet exchanges from clashing with his.
On the Goryeo side, seeing Lin Yi log off, they thought he had run out of points and backed off.
But soon, Lin Yi logged back on, interrupting their speculations.
To Lin Yi’s surprise, Cui Dongxu had put his all into the Rare·Double-headed Sunbird, with 8443 points.
This time he didn’t plan to freeload any further.
Of course, it might be that he wasn’t interested in the rare mounts following this.
After placing his bet, Cui Dongxu didn’t forget to glare menacingly at Lin Yi:
"No matter your purpose in coming to Goryeo now, if you think of us like those He Clan idiots, you are gravely mistaken."
Cui Dongxu sneered coldly:
"You will pay a heavy price for your actions."
"Is that so?"
Hearing Cui Dongxu’s provocation, Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, unconcerned:
"Then I look forward to seeing how you’ll make me pay this heavy price."
Not forgetting to add a mocking remark:
"Simi-da~"
Then Lin Yi directly opened the bidding interface, and below the Rare·Double-headed Sunbird, he entered: 9000.
"Pa!" After Lin Yi pressed confirm, the entire crowd on the plaza erupted instantly.
Almost all players uniformly focused on Lin Yi, their eyes filled with disbelief and indescribable shock.
"Shit, where did he get so many points?"
"This Hua Country guy must be cheating, there’s no way he has that many points."
"Yeah, he must be cheating, we should report him!"
Facing a group of indignant and furious players, Cui Dongxu, with his back to the screen, was still clueless:
"What happened?"
Only then did someone remind Cui Dongxu about the change in bidding, as he turned and saw, everything went black momentarily...
The next moment, Cui Dongxu rudely shoved aside the players blocking his way and directly stood in front of Lin Yi, fuming:
"Hua Country boy, you’ve gone too far!"
"Do you know who I am?"
Lin Yi shook his head and replied:
"Don’t know."
Then paused a moment, added:
"And don’t want to know."
At this moment, Cui Dongxu glared at Lin Yi, his knuckles almost popping from clenching them too hard.
A real killing intent unabashedly diffused across Cui Dongxu’s face, he suddenly laughed in anger:
"Damn it!"
"Kid, this is all on you."
While the crowd was clamoring about reporting Lin Yi, someone already took action and promptly received official feedback:
"The target’s data is fully normal, no violations detected."
As each report was repudiated, the whole Goryeo forum erupted.
Yet when the names under Rare·Frenzied Demon Bear and Rare·Unicorn were replaced with ’Feng Hua,’ people were thrown into complete chaos.
Among them, a majority of players questioned where Lin Yi got so many points, but no matter how much commotion arose among the players, the officials always gave the same answer.
Despite the uproar, everyone knew full well that cheating in this game was almost entirely impossible.
As a game jointly developed by major world powers, all data was monitored in real-time by respective national agencies.
For their national interest, no country could tolerate players from other countries cheating without concern.
So, at the moment the official response came, the truth was already evident.
Only then did people realize the terrifying nature of this number one from Hua Country.
That he could climb to the top of the Endless Tower and claim the title of the world’s strongest was not without reason.
At this moment, someone helplessly shouted on the forum:
"Damn it, is this Feng Hua here to stock up in our Goryeo?"
