“Partner, do you know about the origins of Akna?”

Li Yi shook his head.

“Akna was previously a sorcerer of the Tuhr Clan. She was banished from our tribe by the previous Clan Leader because she attempted to steal the Tuhr Sacred Sword.”

Li Yi was astonished.

He did not know much about Akna, the NPC. In his previous life, he did not have the Violent King Bear. It took him a full year to raise the Reputation with the Tuhr Clan to Worship.

Li Yi will not be able to hear this information if the relationship he had with the other party was anything else but Worship.

“The name Akna has always been a taboo for my clan. My partner, I wish that you will keep your distance from her.”

Adahan patted Li Yi’s shoulder and smiled as he went out. However, Li Yi noticed how the name above his head flickered a few times due to the change in Affinity.

All players could complete quests so that their relationship with a faction could become Worship. However, if the player has violated the faction’s rules by doing something that they would not allow, then the relationship between the two parties would definitely deteriorate even though Worship was achieved. In the end, both parties might even become enemies.

Using the giant mammothmen at the foot of the mountain as an example, the Tuhr Clan were their mortal enemies, and hostility between two tribes have lasted for thousands of years and was unresolvable. Players could only choose to increase their Reputation with either one of them. If they chose the giant mammothmen, it meant that they will automatically become mortal enemies with the Tuhr Clan, and vice versa.

Akna was a traitor to the Tuhrs. If Li Yi became too close to her, it will inevitably affect the relationship he had with the Tuhrs.

What Adahan had just said was a warning.

However, Li Yi would definitely follow through by delivering the secret letter to Akna. After all, he did push back the First Kill of the Light Conference just to complete this quest.

Li Yi walked out of the house and went straight to the Tuhr Quartermaster.

Every faction has their own quartermaster. As long as the player has a good relationship with the factions, the player could purchase many rare and valuable items from the quartermaster. These items were difficult to find anywhere else.

The Tuhr Quartermaster were selling a dazzling array of items that it was a feast for the eyes. From White to Purple, the sheer variety of items on display was enough to satisfy every player’s needs.

Li Yi spent 50 Gold to purchase a Frosty Wolf mount. With a clap of his hand, he had learned the required skills.

[Battle Mount Frosty Wolf, Gold Quality. SPD 120%. Additional passive special effect: AGI +20 for the owner.]

Although the Frosty Wolf was far less practical than the Holy Light Warhorse, players do not have any limits to the number of mounts they collect. Admittedly, the AGI +20 was quite useless, but for Li Yi the Mountaholic, the Frosty Wolf was too cool of a mount to let go. It was worthy to be owned even though it did not have any other additional attributes.

Li Yi chose two Skill Tomes for Archers in one go.

Although the Tuhr Clan did not sell the Overlord Arrow, they do sell two Epic-level Archer Skills that could only be learned at the Tuhrs, namely the Earth Hurling Trap and Pet Summon.

Both of the two Skill Tomes were not too expensive. With each at 20 Gold Coins, the only requirement for purchase was that the player must have a Worship relationship with the Tuhr Clan.

Li Yi clapped his hands twice and finished learning the two Skills. All of his Skill Points were used up now.

Earth Hurling Trap was a very powerful skill. It could be detonated within one second after it was placed on the ground, which was much faster than any other traps. This Skill was almost freakishly powerful that the trap could quite literally hurl the target into the sky. When that happens, the target that was now in midair will then become a living, sitting duck. The person on the ground could make combos upon combos on the target.

Pet Summon was even crazier than that. It was a passive skill that does not require players to upgrade it to Level 20. Even Level 1 was enough. Its effect was that in battles, switching between pets would no longer require any countdown time. If this skill was used appropriately, it was basically a Bug!

The Tuhr Quartermaster not only sold Archer Skills but also two exclusive, Epic-level Skills for all players. It was exclusive to the Tuhrs and could not be learned anywhere else. Hence, the Tuhrs was almost a must for all players to rush and increase their Reputation unless they had no intention to learn these two precious Epic-level Skills.

The most precious items sold by the Turk Quartermaster were the two Epic-level Skill Tomes for his class. Of course, in addition to this, there was also an Epic-level, Mixed Equipment Set sold here that was suitable for his class.

[Gagaga’s Anti-freezing Leather Hat (Purple Grade, Locked, Disappears when dropped)]

[Equipment Level: Level 100]

[AGI +100]

[END +1000]

[Increase Ice Resistance by 50 points.]

[Special effect: This item will never wear out. (P/S: The most economical and practical special effect.)]

[Special effect: Long-ranged attacks increased by 5 yards. No effect on melee attacks.]

[Note: This seal-made hat is the best proof that we Tuhrs are quick-witted and nimble-fingered. Even though there was a small hole on the leather hat, but this does not cause any problems to the anti-freezing properties of this hat. Written by Master Gagaga, the consummate craftsman and tailor of the Tuhr Clan.]

…

Li Yi equipped the Gagaga Anti-freezing Leather Hat and was immediately rendered speechless.

There was a big hole in the middle of the leather cap, and the fur on the side was also rolled up, looking exactly like a defective product. The most outrageous fact about this was that its style was exactly the same as the Western Cowboy look…

It was grotesque…

Fortunately, even though it looked ugly, but its properties were still acceptable. END +1000 and 50 points of ice resistance are a few of the most difficult and greatest attributes to get on any equipment.

After he had purchased everything that he should, Li Yi started on his journey again. This time, he went straight to the Frostfall Mountains.

Snow as thick as goose feathers descended once more. It was snowing almost every day around here throughout the year. Thankfully, this was just a game. If it happened in the real world, it would be difficult to even walk.

The snow on the ground was not too thick. Riding on the Frost Wolf, Li Yi ran across the snowy ground faster than he did when he was on the Holy Light Warhorse. The saying ‘making the best use out of something’ was best used to describe this situation.

“Aooh aooh, aooh aooh!”

Near the mountainside, a group of white-furred snow apes gathered and bellowed as they hit their chests.

This was the only way to go up to the mountain.

Li Yi transformed into the Lightning Leopard to try and sneak his way around the apes.

“Aooh aooh!”

Even though Li Yi was very far away from them, a white-furred snow ape still managed to detect him. That white-furred snow ape quickly bounded toward him and swept its claws that canceled his Stealth.

Li Yi rolled on the ground and placed an Earth Hurling Trap in the snowy ground on the way. Then, he stood up and returned a shot.

The white ape had no idea that it was tricked. Instead, it pounded its chest with its two claws and chased at Li Yi while howling. Its foot stepped onto the Earth Hurling Trap, triggering a thick earth spike that shot up from the ground and hurled the snowy ape up, dozens of meters into the air…

“Pseudocide!”

Li Yi lied motionlessly on the ground…

“Aooh aooh aooh!” A few snowy apes that wanted to rush here from afar immediately lost their target. After exchanging a few glances, they ran back to where they were.

“Powered-up Arrow! Crippling Shot! Meteor Arrow! Meteor Arrow!”

Li Yi stood underneath and shot non-stop at the snow ape that was still in mid-air. The Powered-up Arrow had great momentum, and it had launched the snow ape higher into the air. Following that, arrow after arrow hit the snow ape, causing the Combo word to appear repeatedly over its head.

“Elimination Arrow!”

When the snow ape fell on the ground, Li Yi’s final attack, the Elimination Arrow, came directly at it and homed in at the snow ape. 19 Combo and a terrifying damage value of [-321121] appeared above the snow ape’s head.

The snow ape with 200000 HP was killed within a second by Li Yi.

“Camouflage!”

Li Yi quickly left the battle with Camouflage when he noticed that group of snow apes rushing over once again.

It seems that using Stealth was not good enough here. The snow ape’s perception was too sensitive.

However, killing using the Pseudocide Bug was too slow that Li Yi has lost his patience. Just when he wanted to activate God Mode and fly directly over, a gust of strong wind came from behind his ear. He instinctively ducked.

“Thwack!”

Li Yi’s shoulder was hurt, and a [-3765] damage value was shown above his head.

Li Yi jumped and turned to shoot at the direction where the arrow came from.

Ssst!

The arrow burrowed into the snow. There was nothing in the open space.

Li Yi inhaled deeply and suddenly glowed. “Heart of a Clear Mirror!”

The status was activated!

With the Heart of a Clear Mirror status activated, Li Yi used Sensory and noticed a red dot approaching him from the sky above. He raised his arms and shot another arrow without thinking.

Thwack!

[-5422]

It was a player dressed in white clothes. After he was hit by the arrow, he turned and rolled as he landed on the ground. The player then slowly stood up from the snow.

The name above the player’s head was hidden. However, the national badge cannot be hidden, and it showed that he was a player from the Western Continent!

The player was thin, tall, and had a big and long face. Basing just on his looks, this player resembled a bamboo pole…

Bamboo pole smiled at Li Yi as he toyed with the shortsword in his hand. “You are very skillful.”

Li Yi squinted his eyes as he looked at the player. He smiled too.

This person was no ordinary joe. Just before this, he had hidden within the snow and shot at Li Yi before immediately flying into the sky. This set of actions alone were enough to qualify him as one of the expert players in the game.

This bamboo pole from the Western Continent was probably a Mount Vagabond. However, he did not practice the Shooting Path but instead went for a melee class that was similar to a Thief.

Li Yi only knew one player that was so peculiar looking, had learned the Air Dance Technique exclusive to Sky Vagabonds and had the courage to utilize the Vagabond class this way.

The double-class Vagabond of the Western Continent, Up Down Up Down Punch!

If Amber Sword Heart represented the peak of the main tank class, this person before him was represented the peak of all melee Vagabonds.

This person was one of the top figures on the Pantheon Rankings. Even though Li Yi has never fought hand to hand with him in his past life, but he was very familiar with this person.

The Vagabond class was the jack of all trades. They knew everything from healing, spells, long-ranged attacks and melee attacks. However, their shortcomings were very obvious too. They are the masters of none. Even though they knew many things, but their overall performance was just average.

For instance, Vagabonds also knew the Stealth skill of the Thief class. However, their Stealth was weaker as they had a time limit, which was unlike the Thief’s Stealth that could be used without any time restrictions.

The attack skills of the Vagabonds also suffered from the same fate as Stealth. All of them were weaker versions of other class’s skills. They basically knew everything but could master nothing. Everything they do was merely half-baked.

A Vagabond played well was not a weak Vagabond. This saying has been circulating ever since the King of Pantheon officially started operating, but right until the moment Li Yi was reincarnated, the number of players that could play a Vagabond until its peak could be counted with one hand.

Up Down Up Down Punch was one of them.

This man has a weird look, a weird name, and a weird attack method. If Li Yi did not use Heart of a Clear Mirror to locate him, Li Yi would have probably taken a beating afterward.

Li Yi looked at him and asked out of the blue, “How many players have reached the North Pole before you?”

Up Down Up Down Punch chuckled but offered no answer. Instead, he lowered his body and disappeared with Stealth…

“I’ll tell you if you can defeat me!”
