Chapter 445: Chapter 445: The Battle at the Entrance of the Instance
Although the Crystal Spider was of a low grade, it was still quite intelligent. Li Yao conveyed his intentions through their contract.
Li Yao didn’t force it, stating that if the Crystal Spider was unwilling, he would let her go. Nevertheless, the spider expressed her eagerness to undergo the transformation and become stronger to aid her master in battle.
To become a pet, although it began with a threat to their life, doesn’t mean they wouldn’t wish to grow stronger alongside their master.
The Crystal Spider might be Li Yao’s pet, but she’s always been proud as a mutation queen of the spider race. She couldn’t show weakness to humans. Now, given the chance to become stronger, she certainly wouldn’t let it pass.
In the world of beasts, the strong were respected. Enduring some pain in exchange for strength meant little. Li Yao wasn’t surprised, but he couldn’t guarantee the success of this transformation, after all, the spider had been with him for such a long time.
Half an hour quickly passed, and the female officer had already given orders in advance for the preparation of instruments and some precious materials. Shortly after, a group of people set off.
The Starfire Guild’s area was bustling, filled with all sorts of people roaming around every day. In truth, many of them were sent by various guilds.
Moreover, the geographical location of the Starfire Guild was quite good. Factor in the popular guild shops, and it became difficult to distinguish who was a spy.
The Starfire Guild could only ignore this and interpret it as them bringing business their way.
This time, a caravan with clear royal insignia arrived at the Starfire Guild, causing quite a stir.
Nowadays, each guild could only deal with the guild ambassadors who managed the guilds. The authorities simply were not interested; after all, they were just fledgling organizations, none of the forces held them in high regard.
Among them, Li Yao was unique. While he had no regard for the guild ambassador, he could still communicate directly with the World-level Chief. This situation was unparalleled. Many guilds in other cities even sought to transform their facilities into shops following the previous incident involving Li Yao’s shop.
However, all guilds that secretly transformed their guild buildings and set up shops were punished. The top ten guilds were completely indifferent to all of this. All they could do was look on enviously at the prospering shops of the Starfire Guild.
Complaints were sent to the Ancient Gods Company on their official website and to various forces in the game, but there was no result.
Now, at this critical moment before the raid, the Undead Royal Carriage entered the Starfire Guild, making many guilds anxious.
Ever since the last clean-up of spies, it’s become much harder for other guilds to obtain information. Now, even the members of the Starfire Guild were clueless about the situation, let alone the others.
They could only be anxious, fearing that the Starfire Guild had obtained some treasure, or received exclusive information.
“Brother, what is this about? You’re not giving us any chance,” Haikuotiankong sent a message directly.
Li Yao was confused, and asked, “What’s happening?”
“You’re playing innocent, a royal caravan has entered your guild, rumors say some goods were even delivered, you’re cheating! Where’s justice?” Haikuotiankong was even jealous. He wasn’t able to connect even with a regional mayor, let alone a World-level boss, a king of a race.
“So you’re talking about that, it’s nothing big and is unrelated to the raid,” Li Yao replied, laughing bitterly at their wild conjectures.
“Alright alright, no need to explain. I’ll just focus on my efforts, I should reach the twentieth level today, it’s hard life. If you find any efficient ways to level up, let me know,” said Haikuotiankong, giving up on asking, obviously assuming that Li Yao wasn’t willing to share.
“Sure thing, sure thing.” Li Yao ended the communication, only to receive another message from the Leisure Guild’s Leisure Brother, together with a bunch of other friends – all of them were inquiring.
“This is quite a stir, there may be changes.” Li Yao shook his head and began discussing with the engineers and pharmacists.
Since there was only one Crystal Spider, how to strengthen it and how to manufacture the metal shell design for the Spider Tank kept the masters and Li Yao busy for an entire day. In the end, they had to re-enact the feasibility of each step before finalizing the manufacturing process and plan.
In a blink of an eye, a day and night had passed, and the number of players reaching level twenty had started to explode.
Sister Li came into the lab and said, “Our movements have made some guilds restless, and this might cause trouble.”
Li Yao jumped, asking, “What’s going on?”
“There’s been a change in the raid. The original plan from the authorities was to enter with a 25-person team. But now, a supplementary team raid on a sideline has appeared, where level-twenty blue equipment can be looted. The final boss even has a slight chance of dropping purple equipment, as well as materials necessary for a raid set,” Sister Li explained.
“This change doesn’t sound bad.” Even though this sideline raid didn’t exist in his previous life, its emergence didn’t impact them in any substantial way.
“That’s not the point. The point is that a few new guilds have appeared out of nowhere. Their members are mixed, with players from each administrative district. They’re blocking the entrance to the raid in shifts, allowing individual players and small guild players to enter while keeping the others out. The area has become a river of blood from the fighting,” Sister Li said, sending a video to Li Yao. Outside the forest were the raid’s entrance and lots of open land filled with tombstones and skeletons, with countless players still fighting.
“They’re all at level twenty, that’s a lot of people,” Li Yao frowned.
“Being at level twenty means that they won’t drop to level nineteen if they die, which is why they’re battling without any reservations. Our guild’s second group also went there, but was intercepted. They fought a retreating battle and only managed to escape from the fight. This situation is like a giant whirlpool. I wonder who started it. Could it be that the large guilds are targeting us…?” Sister Li seemed frustrated, as entering the raid required completing tasks. Now with this situation, they can’t even complete the tasks and have no way of entering the raid.
Li Yao waved his hand and said, “It’s hard to say, it might be, it might not be. But we still need a few days for our own raid, let’s see what happens then.”
“Alright, Feng Yi is gathering information, and we should receive news in a few days.” Sister Li said, “You continue working on your mechanical pet. I’ll get back to work.”
“Right, the pharmacists have already prepared the Crystal Spider, we can begin the enhancement,” said Li Yao, and he walked to a giant transparent tube where the Crystal Spider was immersed in a green liquid.
“Master, it’s ready now. You can inject the blood of the Ancient God,” an undead said excitedly. This was his first time creating a creature using demonic energy, undead, and the things of the Ancient God.
Although the Queen received the blood of the Ancient God, she kept it hidden like a treasure. They had been itching to use it for quite some time, which is why they eagerly rushed here when they heard about Li Yao’s transformation plan…
