MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

A wave had barely settled when another arose. Someone within a certain club, unwilling to reveal their true identity, provided some materials to a certain media outlet.

The scene of the great man's room in disarray in reality, his real-life tear-stained face, and a very unsightly map on the sheet were exposed.

The storm grew more intense, with countless players witnessing the great man's imposing figure, contrasting sharply with his tearful face and the map.

In the game, Li Yao glanced at the images that Yaogu showed him and said angrily, "These unscrupulous media are truly overboard. They even exposed such a thing. How is one supposed to get a girlfriend after this?"

"It seems it was you who exposed it first," Yaogu remarked.

"Don't talk nonsense. I wanted to show the brutal sacrificial scene. Alright, the real sacrifice has begun, let's start acting as well." With that, Li Yao left the original place.

Yaogu was speechless. Acting like this, even if someone had a girlfriend, they'd probably break up. Yet the instigator outright denied it and shook their head helplessly at the blood pool filled with blood.

The players could only count their loss, not just from the fright, but also the second shock waiting for them when they logged off. They were completely oblivious to having become even more famous.

She had no choice. If it wasn't for Li Yao being here, she would have left without hesitation, not wanting to stay here because it was too dangerous.

As for saving people, it was even more preposterous, purely a suicidal act. Even Li Yao couldn't save people, let alone her.

The majority of the creatures participated in the sacrifice; other places were almost deserted, though there were still unlucky guards assigned to patrol.

But they mostly patrolled alone, and Li Yao easily hunted them. Facing a squad would have been very dangerous for him, but one by one was simple.

"This small manor should be a sacrificial residence. We don't have much time, but enough to search the shrine, so let's head to the owner's quarters and take a look," said Li Yao as he headed directly to the most luxurious room on the second floor.

"They really live in a coffin—this coffin is very luxurious indeed. It seems like you said: the people here live inside coffins."

Yaogu, seeing this, exclaimed in surprise.

Li Yao also approached and commented, "Goodness, this person really is loaded."

There were no Gold Coins or the like inside the coffin, but the lower layer was covered with Gold Bricks, with various colored gemstones on top, rare gems that can only be obtained after reaching full level.

These gems can be used to make jewelry, and even the least will be epic-level, with inherent characteristics. Some were clearly materials for legendary-level items just by looking.

There were even several fist-sized legendary-level gems with absolute top attributes, which, if made into equipment, would be epic-level jewelry; cut and inscribed with runes, they'd be the top-tier embedded gems.

They could be used to make arrays, serve as nodes, or act as casting materials—all top-notch quality.

Countless excellent-level gem fragments, hundreds of epic-level purple gems, dozens of legendary gems, and eight legendary gems.

More astonishing to the two was a basketball-sized Moonstone hovering in the coffin's center, radiating a white luster.

"This is the top-tier Moonstone. With this, our guild's grand array power could increase by at least 30%." Even Li Yao, who was used to seeing good stuff, was amazed.

One had to know, during the last collection of race-level treasure gems, although the number exceeded this, there were only three legendary gems in total. Yet, here was a top-level Moonstone.

One can imagine the preciousness of a legendary gem.

"Quick, collect them," Li Yao hurriedly stuffed the gems into his backpack.

"This is definitely not a treatment an ordinary Priest should enjoy," Yaogu commented while packing up the items.

"Let's not worry about that, let's clean it out. Alas, there's not enough time, and the backpack isn't big enough. Otherwise, I'd want to loot the whole city," sighed Li Yao.

"President, can't we be a bit more content? Look at others hanging miserably from the Stone Columns as sacrifices while we're lucky enough to be looting," Yaogu remarked, just as she picked up a Gold Brick and couldn't help exclaiming, "This isn't even gold, it's platinum! Damn, we're filthy rich now."

"Be ladylike," Li Yao teased her.

Both were thrilled, yet their hands were swift, quickly emptying the luxurious coffin within minutes.

"This is a Dust-Avoiding Bead. Not only does it repel dust, but it also maintains elemental balance and keeps the right temperature. If the Temple of the Moon God had this, it wouldn't get dusty. The Moon God should thank me; I'm reluctant to use it myself." Li Yao placed a bead into the Frame Space.

"And this pillow is also a good item, do you want it?" he offered, holding a pillow emitting a soft, glossy sheen.

"The monster's hair is gross; I'll pass, I don't need it." Yaogu considered using it but was disgusted by a single green hair stuck on the pillow and declined.

This is absolutely a good item. Li Yao smiled, "If you don't want it, I don't need it either. We'll put it in the guild storage."

"Yeah, others won't know its origin, shouldn't mind if a monster used it for thousands of years." Yaogu agreed.

"It's a shame the coffin is also good material," Li Yao said reluctantly.

Seeing the now-empty coffin, Yaogu was speechless.

"This guy isn't simple; there might be a secret room. We just checked his study, which was very ordinary. It had nothing much, but the bedroom was so luxurious, the study overly plain," Li Yao said, activating his Spirit Eye to scan the entire room, quickly brightening.

"There's something wrong with this painting," Li Yao noted, "Everywhere else is fine, but this painting is a normal abstract one. There's no reason to take it down, yet there are fingerprints, indicating it was taken down before."

Li Yao removed the oil painting, revealing what looked like an ordinary wall, but when he reached out, his arm sank into it.

"An illusion?" Yaogu was stunned.

Then with a click, a hidden door just large enough for one person to pass opened at the edge of a display rack on the other side of the room.

"Just as expected."...
