MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

Li Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, “It’s not the System’s error but that Platinum Hand was in front of us.”

“How’s it possible? They…”

“What a joke. A difference of mere seconds?”

Questioning voices endlessly sounded. Li Yi motioned with his hand for everyone to quieten down.

“The System made no mistake. You can look at the dungeon’s kill ranking, we were 10 seconds away from Platinum Hand.”

“It’s all my fault…” Chen Yang, who came back from corpse running, was so ashamed that he did not dare to look at Li Yi.

If he did not die inexplicably, even if he did not fight with full effort, they could still have caught up with the ten-second gap.

Li Yi remarked, “It’s now too late to say all this. Just take note for the next time.”

A golden treasure chest appeared on the ground. This was the final reward for clearing the dungeon.

“Who’s to open it?” Li Yi asked.

“You’re the commander. Of course, it should be you.”

“Yea, none of us are qualified to open it except for you.”

“Open it. Being able to get through this dungeon is all thanks to you. The loot distribution is up to you. We have no problems!”

After going through this dungeon, the party members’ trust in Li Yi had risen sharply, and this was exactly what a good commander must have.

Influence!

Li Yi was a little embarrassed, “I’ve always had a trashy hand. Better change to another person.”

“Probability. It’s all probability, Commander. Don’t believe in the saying of Trash Hand or God Hand. It’s about probability.”

“Yea…”

Many players still did not believe it, but Li Yi had already made up his mind and would not go forward no matter what the others said.

Li Yi pondered a bit, and he called out someone whom everyone would never object to.

“Guild Master Chu, you do the honors.”

“Sure!”

Chu Tiange laughed out loud and stepped forward to loot the treasure chest.

The thing about probability was that it had always been very mind-boggling. Take Li Yi for example. Under normal circumstances, the power of his Trash Hand would be very strong, and yet, there were also times where his hand was exceptionally lucky. EXP Pearl and Trickery Ring were proofs of that.

This time, Chu Tiange’s luck was quite good. He actually looted 12 pieces of gold-colored equipment, 11 pieces of green-colored equipment as well as 5 other miscellaneous items.

“Dark Wing, they’re for you to distribute.” Chu Tiange stepped back.

Li Yi did not decline. After checking the items, he gave a golden staff and a healer accessory to Chen Yang and Fire Ice respectively.

“They don’t belong to our guild, but I’m sure everyone has seen how much effort they have put in, so I’ll give them these two pieces of equipment.”

“Ice can have hers. I don’t want mine. You can give it out to them.” Chen Yang’s embarrassed look was like a child who had done something wrong.

“Just take it. Don’t die so easily the next time, and it’ll be alright.”

“Yea, haha. I see you’re very sharp in positioning. Who would have thought that you’d suddenly be stock-still like a log? Just as a man is prone to stumble while galloping, so a horse is prone to stumble while walking. This is inevitable.”

“Inevitable your sister. As a man is prone to stumble while walking, so a horse is prone to stumble while galloping. ¹ You’ve turned it around.”

“None of your f*king business. I’m feeling smug so I want to turn it around…”

“***, dumbbell.”

“You’re the dumbbell. Your whole family are dumbbells.”

At first, a few players wanted to persuade Chen Yang to take the staff out of good intention. But as one conversation led to another, well, it soon took a turn and became a squabble. Their necks reddened, and they bickered non-stop. Looking at their manner, if they were not in the dungeon now, they might have already PK on the spot.

Chen Yang’s stance was firm. “There’s no need for all of you to say anything more. I won’t accept this staff no matter what.”

Regardless of what everyone said, Chen Yang refused it all the way, causing Li Yi to feel a little proud of Fatty. Just as when he was about to praise him through the private chat, Fatty PM-ed him, “Damn it. How come no one asked me to take it anymore? Just a little while more, and I’ll say yes. Did I speak too much in absolute terms?

“Scoot!”

Chen Yang’s attitude was persistent, so Li Yi had no choice but to choose another person.

“Those who survived till the third stage, Spellcasters, DPS and healers, step forward.”

[Firelord’s Staff]

[ M-ATK ² 40–60]

[Special effect: Additional Fire Attribute Attacks]

[Special effect: Increase the target’s fire resistance by 10 points while healing the target. Can be superimposed 5 times. Lasts for 50 seconds.]

[Special effect: Crit Rate of Spells increased by 3%]

…

The attributes or the staff were displayed, and both the DPS and healers were stirred up.

Chen Yang cried out miserably in the privately chat, “Lil Yi’zi, why didn’t you reveal the attributes early? Wuwuwuwu ³

“Roll.”

The Firelord’s Staff was acquired by a healer in the end.

Good things were naturally distributed to the people who presently needed them the most. This was also the criterion for Li Yi when distributing the items. For all who contributed significantly, none was left out, and each of them was given something. Even those who contributed not much were not excluded. He deliberately left 8 pieces for those who contributed less to roll.

“I didn’t expect to get a share as well.” A Violent Warrior with a dazzling big ax, who was a DPS dealer and had only produced 900 damage throughout the entire time, was so excited that he almost teared up.

He was a standard casual player with low damage, poor adaptability, and was knocked out a few dozens of seconds into the battle.

“As long as you took part in the dungeon, then you’ve contributed to the party. Hence, you’re also qualified to get legendary equipment.”

Li Yi’s words excited those players who did not contribute much.

As long as you had participated, everyone had a share. This commander was good!

At the end of the day, Li Yi took a pair of golden shoes, Inferno Boots, and a miscellaneous item, Mysterious Egg.

Chu Tiange was stunned. “How can you only take this little? No, no. You deserve more here. Choose again.”

Others were also stupefied.

Before the dungeon battle commenced, Chu Tiange had already stated that the item distribution was to be determined by Li Yi. That was to say, if Li Yi wanted to monopolize all of it, it was totally doable.

No one expected Li Yi to only take one piece of equipment and one miscellaneous item.

In a 50-person Party-level Instance Dungeon, which piece of equipment would be crap? Almost without exception, they were all legendary equipment that could not be bought with money.

Even if the item was unsuitable for you, acquiring a few and selling them at the Auction House could help rake in a substantial amount of Gold Coins not to say the least.

“Don’t give me all the credit. Without each one of you, even if I commanded well, I’ll definitely be unable to defeat the boss by myself. We’ll all roll for the rest of the miscellaneous items. Everyone has a share. You guys roll, and I’ll roll too. Only then is this fair.”

After the equipment was distributed, there were still a few miscellaneous items left. Li Yi proposed for everyone to roll points.

Miscellaneous items were not equipment. Usually, when one accumulated such items to a certain amount, one could exchange them for equipment from the NPCs. This was equivalent to passing the dungeon and obtaining the reward distributed automatically by the System.

Take this time for instance. Although some of them were not distributed with anything, yet everyone would obtain a Fire Pearl, which was a guaranteed drop. If you managed to collect enough of them, you could also exchange them for good equipment.

At the last roll, Chen Yang performed remarkably well and pocketed 3 of the miscellaneous items.

“F*ck. This is against all reason. 99 points, 100 points, 100 points. Buddy, what did you just touch? How’s your hand on fire?”

Chen Yang cackled with laughter and said in a serious manner, “Diligently masturbate, and naturally, you’ll have all the luck in your hand.”

After the distribution of the items was completed, Li Yi announced the disbandment of the party.

Although this was not the only 50-person Pinnacle of the Fire Dungeon, everyone was already exhausted after the battle, and they did not have any more energy to play other dungeons.

[Inferno Boots (Gold)]

[DEF 20–30]

[M-DEF 20–30]

[SPD +5]

[Special effect: Increase the fire M-ATK by 20 points.]

[Special effect: Whenever hit by a Fire Attribute Attack, it will produce a blazing effect. SPD temporarily increased by 1 point. Can be superimposed 3 times. Lasts for 20 seconds.]

[Special effect: Upon opening the firing device on the boot, when the fire spurts, it can propel the user 20 meters ahead. Cooldown time: 1 hour.]

As a veteran player who had played King of Pantheon for eight years in the previous life, the items Li Yi chose would certainly not be poor. In fact, when he saw the pair of acceleration boots and Mysterious Egg, his heart skipped a beat.

This was because these two items were all uber legendary items with an extremely low yield!
