Chapter 246: Are They Sisters?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Rock, paper, scissors!”

The Baseball Elder roared loudly and presented its shiny pair of scissors.

“Paper!”

All of the Big Murlocs stretched out their webbed palms in unison…

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Every single one of the Big Murlocs failed in the rock-paper-scissors and were stunned.

“Baseball Whirlwind Scissors, my strongest finisher—Blade Storm!”

Li Yi controlled the Baseball Elder and made it spin around, rushing at the Big Murlocs.

The Baseball Elder’s Blade Storm dealt 200% damage to stunned enemies. Whoever it touched would die instantly, and a large number of Big Murlocs were killed in the blink of an eye.

It did not matter if they were inside or outside a dungeon. This was what happened to whoever who tried to ride a Big Murloc against the Baseball Elder.

The number one murloc powerhouse in rock-paper-scissors was perfectly deserving of its title.

Li Yi killed off all of the Big Murlocs in one go and then turned around to face the remaining players from the Dream Guild.

“Rock, paper, scissors!”

“Scissors!”

The Baseball Elder stretched out its pretty white scissors again, and the members of the Dream Guild could not help but join the game as well.

“Rock!”

Most of them used rock, while a very few used paper and scissors.

It was decided by the majority. Since most of the Dream Guild members chose rock, the rules meant that this was the Baseball Elder’s loss.

“Bang!”

Li Yi and the Baseball Elder were both stunned.

“Hit ’em, hit ’em hard! Haha, this crab can only use scissors, there’s nothing to fear here, everyone!” Flower Underpants was the first to discover the trick, and he led the assault.

With just one round of DPS, the Dream Guild had knocked 1,000,000HP off the Baseball Elder.

“Rock, paper, scissors!”

“Scissors!”

The Baseball Elder stretched out its pretty white scissors again, and the members of the Dream Guild could not help but join the game as well.

“Bang!”

Li Yi and the Baseball Elder were both stunned again.

“Haha, that idiot! Use all your killer moves, attack with all you got!” Flower Underpants’ laughter grew even more gleeful.

‘Laugh all you want, you’ll be crying soon enough.’

Li Yi, who had no choice but to use scissors, sat on the Baseball Elder’s shoulder and laughed coldly.

Even though the Baseball Elder could only use scissors, its rage would rise by a notch every time it lost. When its rage reached the maximum, it would automatically use a crowd control skill.

“Scissors!”

“Hahaha, rock!” The Dream Guild members roared with laughter.

The Baseball Elder’s HP kept falling, and soon it only had 1,000,000 left from its initial 7,000,000. If it was stunned one more time, Li Yi would lose.

Looking at the bright red Fury Bar, Li Yi was extremely pleased. The other side did not have any Big Murlocs left, so once he unleashed the Mind Control skill, they would not be able to dodge it even if they wanted to.

“It’s over, it’s over, we won! Hahahaha.”

The Dream Guild members who had tasted the sweetness of victory all stretched out their hands way in advance. In their hearts, they had all long since decided that this battle was their win.

Shangguan Bailu had the vague feeling that something was amiss. “This doesn’t feel right. Considering how smart Dark Wing is, would he choose such a stupid combat mount?”

The Baseball Elder glowed with a furious red light as it used scissors ferociously.

“Scissors!”

“Hahaha, r-r-ro… Paper!”

Everyone’s hands were forced open, stretching from a fist into a palm…

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Everyone was stunned at the same time.

“Blade Storm!”

Li Yi had accumulated three whole bars of fury, as far as he could go. As a result, the power of the Baseball Elder’s Blade Storm reached its maximum potential.10 seconds later, every Dream Guild member was sprawled across the floor…

“Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh…”

The Baseball Elder was still spinning when the system notification popped up. [The Little Drunk Cat Guild has successfully defeated the Dream Guild and risen by one place in the rankings! Congratulations!]

“Damn that b*stard, we’ve been played…”

The Dream Guild members laid on the floor, wholly unhappy and dissatisfied with their loss.

Li Yi was transported away.

“Great going there, Guild Master. We’d have lost again if it weren’t for you.”

“That’s right. You’re too strong, Guild Master. All I heard was scissors this and scissors that, but before I knew it, you’d killed them all.”

Listening to all the praise surrounding him, Li Yi just shook his head. He was not acting humble. This battle truly was no easy win. If the other side knew the strategy behind this, the Baseball Elder would be a piece of cake. Thankfully, the opponents knew nothing about it, so they managed to win by the skin of their teeth.

“That’s a wrap, you are all dismissed. Pretty Good Mood, go back and reflect on your performance today,” Li Yi ordered them.

The Octobull had been utterly useless, and it did not manage to kill even one enemy. The fault there rested solely on Pretty Good Mood’s shoulders.

The Little Drunk Cat Guild rose by one place in the ranks and were now in fourth. Their next opponents would be War God Clan, an extremely powerful adversary indeed.

…

“You there?” Lil Man, who Li Yi had marked as the leader of Platinum Han, sent him a private message.

“Whassamatter?”

“Could you lend us a few people? We fought War God Clan a while ago and won the first match, but lost the second to them because we don’t have enough people. The third round’s going to begin soon, but I need more hands on deck.”

Lil Man’s voice was extremely melodic. Li Yi liked to listen to her speak when he had nothing better to do.

“Sure, how many do you want?”

“The more, the merrier. At least 20, I guess. Thanks.”

“Don’t sweat it. Would you mind me joining?”

“Of course it’d be better if you could come.” Lil Man laughed.

“Sure, lemme see, hmm… Little Drunk Cat’s Elite Party just left, and they seem pretty tired, so I won’t call them back. I’m one and let me find another. Oh yeah, there’s a female Thief called Moonlight Ocean, she’s pretty skilled. Should I call her?”

Lil Man was silent for a moment before she replied with an affirmative.

“She’s not online, though,” said Li Yi helplessly.

“Who knows, she might log on soon,” Lil Man giggled.

Just as she said, Moonlight Ocean soon logged on. This was Li Yi’s first time seeing both Lil Man and Moonlight Ocean online at the same time.

“Looks like they’re not the same person, but they’re definitely related,” Li Yi concluded in his mind.

Li Yi only called for 2 others, Moonlight Ocean and Chen Yang.

“I alone can match up to 20.” Li Yi was quite confident in himself.

“Either way, it’s your responsibility if we lose.” Lil Man was quite practical about it.

Li Yi joined Platinum Hand’s party, and 5 minutes later, the break time was up. The entire Platinum Hand party was sent into the competition area.

It was another dungeon map, but instead of Tidal Throne, this time it was the small 5-man dungeon from Pinnacle of the Fire, Fiery Chariot.

The two sides drew lots. Platinum Hand drew the attacking lot and War God Clan drew the defending lot.

5 people got onto a Fiery Chariot and went on their merry way.

Li Yi drove, while Lil Man and Moonlight Ocean sat on either side of him. This was on a request of his, though he never told anyone the reason behind it.

As he drove, he secretly observed Lil Man and Moonlight Ocean. The more he looked, the more he thought they looked similar. The shape of their bodies and their faces were about the same, and even their voices were nearly identical. When they sat together, they looked just like twins. If it were not for the fact that Moonlight Ocean did not hide her name, the two of them would be practically indistinguishable.

“The two of you sure look alike,” Li Yi said teasingly.

Neither Lil Man nor Moonlight Ocean replied.

Tell me honestly, are you two sisters?”

Lil Man and Moonlight Ocean still stayed silent.

“You look so similar, and your voices are both so sweet. I’d be more surprised if you said you weren’t sisters, don’t you think?”

“You’re free to think whatever you like,” said Lil Man.

“But what’s the point of these guessing games? We’ve even met in real life before, sigh, but you’re still acting all mysterious. It’ll create a distance between us, y’know.”

“Pfft—” On the other hand, it was Moonlight Ocean who could not help but clap a hand to her mouth and laugh out loud at Li Yi’s words.

Lil Man poked her softly. Although it was a very imperceptible move, Li Yi still saw it.

The two of them were related, after all.

There was still some time before the enemy came into sight. Li Yi thought it over and then secretly sent Lil Man a private message.

“Tell me privately, are you or are you not Xu Man?”

“She’s a superstar, I’m a nobody.”

“I have something really important to tell you. If you’re lying to me, things could get really dangerous.” Li Yi was the picture of seriousness.

“It’s true, you don’t have to keep guessing. I’m really not her,” Lil Man said stubbornly.

“It doesn’t matter even if you are. This is a game, not reality. Yes, a superstar would really attract your average Joe, but to me, they’re not all that special.” Li Yi almost seemed to be talking to himself, but these words were all directly to Lil Man and Lil Man alone.

Lil Man sighed. “If her cover is blown, she won’t be able to play the game with the same peace of mind. I bet you’d understand her point of view, right?”

Li Yi retorted, “Can’t she even tell her friends?”

“Sure, she can… But… but… in that case, they wouldn’t be friends anymore.

“In real life, Lil Man had seen too many of these friends act noble on the surface, only to do all these despicable and shameless things behind her back. Lil Man’s exhausted of living in real life, that’s why she hid her identity in the game. Covering her face, choosing not to speak, she does all that so she can make a true friend. Yeah, a friend she can truly confide in.”

“Do I count?” Li Yi laughed.

“You? Maybe you’re half a friend.”

“Why so?”

“Because you keep trying to figure out my identity. You test me in real life and in the game. That’s not something a friend should do.”

“It doesn’t matter how I test you. A certain someone’s so cunning and slippery that she could even sing in multiple different voices. What an *sshole.”

“Hahaha…” Lil Man and Moonlight Ocean laughed at the same time.

Li Yi thought it over and said, “You two will be getting busy again soon, right? If you have time…”

“Boom!”

The explosion of a cannon interrupted Li Yi. A giant Fiery Chariot boss appeared before them, as War God Clan chose to bring the fight to them.

“Everyone, scatter and surround the Fiery Chariot boss. Get close to him and shoot those cannons with all you got. Hammer ’em, I say hammer ’em good!” Royal Blue Sky roared.

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The sounds of battle erupted, and countless cannon shots crashed toward the chariot boss.

The enemy could commandeer 5 boss-level Fiery Chariots, so naturally, they had plenty of firepower. The attacking side had to control the chariots carefully in order to avoid the attacks, or else taking two or three hits would mean certain death for both the chariot and its passengers.

Li Yi shot a few cannons fiercely and the turned around to bark, “Lil Man, Lil Moon, get into the cannon bore!”

“Why?”

“Imma shoot you!”
