MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

Chapter 928 - Heavenly Favor



Chapter 928 Heavenly Favor

In the two days he did not go online, a new feature was added to the Pantheon World.

The second event of the Wings of the Sky pre-expansion event’s God Wars Competition had officially kickstarted.

The sign-up method was the same as it was for the Wood Dummy Challenge. Simply search for Jewelfina the NPC and pay 1 Silver Coin. The player would then be teleported to the venue.

The second event of the God Wars Competition was called Heavenly Favor. After players were sent to the venue, they would see countless multi-colored balloons descending from the sky. Players would receive random points and item rewards from bursting these balloons.

After 100 balloons were burst, the player would be teleported out of the checkpoint. The System would then announce the points the player had obtained. There was no time limit in this stage.

The reward within these balloons could not be determined through color. These 100 balloons closed the gap between an expert and a newbie as this event was all about luck, rather than technique.

Currently ranking first on Heavenly Favor board was not a known skilled figure but the flirtatious Hua Feihua…

Luck. Whoever who had great fortune would find themselves ahead in the ranking board.

The Pantheon officials explained that luck was part and parcel of the road to Ascension so there was no need to harbor resentment if one did not score well in Heavenly Favor.

[1st on Heavenly Favor — Hua Feihua, 587 points.]

[2nd on Heavenly Favor — Defiant Xiaoxiao, 567 points.]

[3rd on Heavenly Favor — Sister Windcloud Nine, 555 points.]

[4th on Heavenly Favor — Fire Ice, 535 points.]

[5th on Heavenly Favor — Drifting Snow, 521 points.]

Out of the top ten on the list, the first four were taken women, so were the last five positions. Drifting Snow was the only man who had made it into the rankings, at 5th place.

It was no secret that female players seemed to have better luck than male players. Players made this discovery on the first day this stage was open to the public.

Well, it seemed that players with horrible gaming skills had lucked out. A stark contrast to the known experts who did not manage to gather as many points.

Li Yi stood in the center, watching the falling colorful balloons. As there was no time restriction in this stage, he would not be teleported out before bursting 100 balloons.

“Shoot at Random!”

“Bp bp bp bp bp bp…”

Li Yi’s body was shimmering gold as he fired at more than a hundred balloons.

No matter the number of balloons shot in one go, only the first 100 would be calculated.

Ding!

[You’ve found a red favor in the balloon and obtained 3 points.]

[You’ve found a black favor in the balloon and obtained 1 point.]

[You’ve found nothing in the balloon…]

[You’ve found nothing in the balloon…]

[You’ve found nothing in the balloon…]

With System Notifications beeping on his screen, the final score presented to Li Yi was 17 points.

The pitiful 17 points, without any item reward, was the result of Li Yi’s first try…

[Do you want to continue? If the selection is yes, 1 Silver Coin will be consumed. If the selection is no, you will be teleported out of the venue.]

“Yes!”

17 points was too low, it did not even make it to the top 100.

Li Yi had always thought he did okay with luck, so he did not expect much when playing Heavenly Favor. He was happy to hit around 300 points so as not to drag down his score in the God Wars Overall Rankings.

Paying another 1 Silver Coin, the balloons start raining down…

“Shoot at Random!”

“Bp bp bp bp bp bp bp bp…”

[You’ve found White Quality equipment from balloon worth 1 Silver Coin!]

[You’ve found nothing in the balloon…]

[You’ve found nothing in the balloon…]

[You’ve found nothing in the balloon…]

The System Notifications flickered on his screen and once everything ended, the value displayed was a shocking 0!

“No… No way.”

A melodic voice was heard.

[You have achieved a never-before-seen amount of points. You’re granted the hidden title, Unbelievable Man. +10 STR and +2 Skill Points obtained.]

0 points!

100 balloons had been burst open, yet no points were in sight. Li Yi’s second try worked another miracle!

He managed to hit the hardest-to-obtain achievement in the history of King of Pantheon.

Following the release of Heavenly Favor, many players posted their results and achievements on the World Channel.

Hua Feihua, leading the board, basically posted once every ten minutes.

She garnered 587 points and obtained the title Gods’ Favorite. This achievement was only awarded when a player managed to score 500 points and above. Currently, there were only a handful of players who were granted this title.

Li Yi found it funny yet disappointing. The Attribute and Skill Points from the hidden achievement were great but it did nothing for his points.

Li Yi put his achievement on full display in World Channel, stirring gasps around.

“F*ck me in the mouth, 0-point achievement!”

“WTH, is it even possible?”

“F*ck me, no way? 100 balloons and no points?”

Hitting a high score was hard but scoring nothing was even harder!

The achievement that was had not been seen by players in his past life was achieved easily by Li Yi in this life.

Flaunting was part of anyone’s nature. The hidden achievement displayed by Li Yi has many see green. They did not have this achievement, so they started flaunting other things.

A player that went by Lone Potato Digger flashed his rare mount, Unicorn Cow King.

“You dare flaunt that shitty thing? Look at mine!”

Another player showed off his White Deer.

Szh szh…

The whole thing was blown out of proportion. With a succession of various rare mounts emerging, the previous achievements had been long forgotten.

Hua Feihua was unwilling to stay out of the limelight. When others started flaunting their mounts, she joined in the bandwagon, flashing all super rare mounts she possessed.

Hua Feihua was a famous mount collector in King of Pantheon. It was said she slept with everyone under the sun in order to attain mounts…

There was an ongoing joke about Hua Feihua in King of Pantheon.

“Wanna f*ck Hua Feihua? As long as you have a mount, she’ll let you mount her.”

With more mounts flaunted in the channel, those players without many mounts grew envious.

So…

They presented their equipment!

Soon, the trend changed from presented equipment to flaunting their specialty.

Li Yi participated for a while before selecting to continue the stage.

He must at least score 300 points and above or his status on the overall ranking would be pulled down. Trying to make up for it by then would be futile.

19 points…

28 points…

101 points…

1 point…

After trying his hand a dozen times, Li Yi’s result lingered around the 100-point mark.

“Quit!”

Struck by a thought, Li Yi quit the challenge.

He was hit by a streak of bad luck today so attempting any longer would not see any higher marks.

Li Yi was still leading in the Wood Dummy Challenge, with Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut following close behind. However, the gap of points between them was huge that the possibility of her surpassing him was low within this a short span of time.

Li Yi strolled around Trading Center, occupying his mind by deciding whether to collect materials in Sky Island when he unexpectedly received news from Bai Xiaoya.

“Where are you?”

“Huh?”

“Come to Falcon Post. I want to see you; I’ve transferred 1 million Gold Coins.”

Li Yi was shocked.

Ding!

At the beep of his mail, Li Yi received the 1 million Gold Coins sent by Bai Xiaoya.

Seconds later, Li Yi arrived in Falcon Post.

Inside the house, Bai Xiaoya looked worn out, having a load on her mind as she sat on a chair.

Li Yi asked her, “Have you recovered from your wounds?”

“Not yet…”

“What business does Military Advisor Bai have with me?”

“It’s about the Aryan Association. We really can’t fork out 50% profit.”

Li Yi narrowed his eyes. “What about the loss from my Starting Point City? Let’s not talk about you taking a flock of Bird People to destroy the city, you killed all the NPCs I painfully collected over the year. Do you understand how huge of a loss that is?”

He was not an unreasonable man, nor would he initiate bullying anyone but if anyone lay their hands on him, he would not hesitate to fight back and return the favor a hundred times more.

She had, with the aid of the Winged Ones, destroyed Starting Point City and killed all the NPCs. Now, apart from a fat penguin respawning in the city, the rest of the NPCs were missing.

Inviting NPCs to Starting Point City was not done just by talking. More importantly, the inviter has to have a certain level of Affinity with the NPC as well as luck.

In other words, even if Li Yi were to reinvite these NPCs, it was not possible to have them all back.

Bai Xiaoya remained silent.

“If you don’t agree to it then we can just continue playing the game!”

Bai Xiaoya bit her lip. “I can give you 40%, could you do it out of respect for my sister…”

“No, if it weren’t for your sister, I would have taken 60%.”

Li Yi shuddered in pain at the thought of The Cat that Sings.

That night…

It was not Li Yi triumphing over Sister Cat but Sister Cat over Li Yi…

At a slip of a tongue, Bai Xiaoya blurted, “If you agree to it, I can spend the night with you!”

Li Yi smiled, “You’re willing to give yourself for the sake of the guild. Military Advisor Bai, it doesn’t sound like you.”

“Lil’ Purple and I founded the Fluttering Snow Alliance than a decade ago, I can’t just sit and watch as it crumbles…”

“Alright, it’s not that pitiful. As far as I know, there are at least twenty thousand of Fluttering Snow Alliance’s core members. These are friends who walked with you from the start, they won’t turn a blind eye if the Fluttering Snow Alliance’s in danger. Surely, they’ll lend a hand in weathering through this crisis.”

Bai Xiaoya gave a bitter smile. “That’s right but don’t you remember, we don’t have King Fifth anymore…

“What happens if over twenty thousand high-level players are paid no wages?”

Bai Xiaoya sighed at the sight of Li Yi holding his tongue. “So tonight, will you be looking for me, or will I be looking for you?”

Li Yi was gobsmacked. “Even with a wound?”
