MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

Chapter 728 - Event Trigger

Panda Novel

“Master!”

The Mermaid Princess screamed in surprise when she saw Li Yi, a summoning stone appeared in his hand after a ringing sound.

The problem was solved surprisingly easily, the Mermaid Princess returned immediately after they met.

Li Yi knew that the Mermaid Princess revered above all else. She would have fled to find Li Yi if her mother had not locked her up.

In this game, whether it was a mount or pet, once it accepted a master, it would never leave. The sole reason Mermaid Princess was brought back was that the Merland storyline had been triggered. Even if Li Yi had not taken the initiative to find her, after the event was triggered, the Princess would go back to him.

With the Mermaid Princess’s summoning stone in his hand, Li Yi was confident. He caressed her tiny head and her Affinity with him went up to more than 100,000 points.

It did not matter what Li Yi did to her; her Affinity would only go up.

“Master, did you come here just for me?” Her eyes shone bright like stars.

“Of course!”

With a chain of loud ringing noises, her Affinity began to soar.

After the celebration, Li Yi looked at her and found that her appearance had been updated.

The two green leaves that covered her ample bosom had disappeared, replaced by two gold leaves, and a golden crown on her head. This was the symbol of the Mermaid Queen.

“What happened to your clothes and your crown?” Li Yi asked.

She shook her head.

Li Yi waved and placed her into his backpack to examine her attributes.

[Mermaid Queen, Freya (Orange-colored, Legendary-level Battle Mount, drop rate extremely rare)]

[Ridable on land, 350% movement speed when underwater]

[Special skill: Acceleration, explosive speed when underwater, lasts for 1 minute with a 10-minute cooldown period.]

[Special skill: Treasure hunt, place the mermaid underwater, the mermaid will automatically search for treasure for her owner. (limited to 5 times a day)]

[Passive skill: Horsemanship, increases the owner’s movement speed by 25%.]

[Passive skill: Clingy, this mount is very attached to the owner. This mount is able to fight at full strength while the owner is on foot (this mount is equivalent to a pet, not restricted to riding)]

[Special skill: Sea God’s Song, with an enchanting melody, releases seven types of abnormal statuses at random, and blesses the owner with Sea God’s Fury (Attack increased by 10%)]

[Special skill: Anywhere Door (level requirement not met)]

“What the f*ck…”

Li Yi was stunned.

Compared with the past, not only had her speed increased but she was also ridable on land. Additionally, there were two new skills, ‘Clingy’ and ‘Anywhere Door’.

The latter had not been unlocked, so its effect was yet to be known, but the former was quite powerful. A mount’s greatest limitation was that once the owner dismounted, the mount would enter an ‘Uncontrollable’ state. With ‘Clingy’, even if Li Yi was not riding the Mermaid Princess, she could still play a role in combat, equal to a combat pet.

She had only been imprisoned by the Mermaid Queen for a few days. How could his Lil Mermaid have changed so much?

Li Yi was astonished. Suddenly, he noticed that her name had changed. Freya was no longer the Mermaid Princess; she was the Mermaid Queen.

“Long live Her Majesty, the new Queen!”

A ray of light emitted from the summoning stone; Freya appeared in front of Li Yi with a pale countenance. “I… I…”

It seemed that the crown has been unconsciously passed down.

“When is your wedding?” Li Yi said with a glare.

“I… I don’t want to be with Fernando. I don’t like him at all. I just… I just want to be with my master.” Freya swayed nervously.

“Relax, I am just asking when the ceremony is happening.”

Li Yi pinched Freya’s face, and the subsequent ringing noises signified that her Affinity toward him rose again.

“After seven days.” Freya hesitated.

Ding!

System Notification: [The Merland’s main story quest is happening! Please make your choice.]

[1: I want to be the Protector of Naga]

[2: I want to stop the Siren’s ambition]

The marriage storyline must be triggered by a player. If the Princess did not reveal when the marriage would happen, the event would not be triggered.

In his past life, Li Yi was the first person to find her. He chose to be the Protector of Naga, knocked the Princess out and shipped her to Fernando. Of course, the result was that the Princess woke up and fled, causing the wedding to fail.

In this life, Li Yi chose to stop the Siren’s ambition.

Although there were benefits to gaining reputation with the Naga faction, it was nothing compared to the benefits of the Mermaid Princess.

Li Yi put Freya away and walked out of the cell.

“Chachachachahai!”

Li Yi encountered a dozen of Naga elites right after he walked out.

After selecting the second option, the Merland entered a state of war. All the mermaids were nowhere to be found. The map was filled with Naga hostiles.

“Chahaichahaichahaichahai!”

A dozen Naga elites wielding staves used water magic to attack Li Yi.

“Shoot at Random!”

“Whoosh!”

Li Yi’s body was surrounded by golden light. He shot more than 200 arrows in one breath, only stopping when his mana was exhausted.

None of the Naga elites were left, they had all dropped to the ground.

“Chachachachahai!”

Another group of Naga elites charged at them. After the player chooses the second option, he must flee the Merland with Freya to complete the quest, or it will be regarded as a failure.

Hundreds of Naga came down like thunder. Li Yi was still recovering his mana and could not use Shoot at Random.

“La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la…”

Freya appeared and hummed the Sea God’s Song.

Even if Li Yi was not the owner of Freya, she would still appear during the quest and fight side by side.

Seven types of abnormal statuses appeared on the sea monsters, causing them to temporarily lose their combat ability.

Li Yi quickly forced his way through the encirclement and went straight for the secret path. As long as he was out of the Merland, it would be safe.

“Chachachachahai!”

“Shoot at Random!”

“La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la…”

While Li Yi and Freya were fighting, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth and Princess Huaiyu stood in the middle of the territories of the Spirit Fishes and the Golden Arrowfishes. Gazing in the direction of the Merland, they were indignant.

They died several times, and both of them had used three Resurrection Talismans. In the end, they had opted for Temple Respawn and ended up in the middle of the two territories.

There were no temples near the Merland, only in between the territories of the Spirit Fishes and the Golden Arrowfishes.

“Yu’er, I sense that we have been played like a fiddle.”

“You are an imbecile! Why are all the men I come across such morons?”

Princess Huaiyu screamed at Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.

“Yu’er, what did you just say?” Princess Huaiyu had always pretended to be gentle and meek in front of him, but now she was another person.

“Ah, nothing, Fifth Brother. It’s just… we are done for.” Princess Huaiyu caught herself and quickly reverted to her previous behavior.

“Yes, indeed we are.” Tyrant Sword King the Fifth calmed down.

Out of nowhere, Fernando the Siren shouted in red letters on the Region Channel, “The storyline of Merland has now started, the Protectors of Naga must return as soon as possible to stop the wedding disruptors!”

The duo looked at each other with chalk-white faces.

Li Yi was fortunate. His quest would require at least 100 players to complete. Unlike his previous life, however, the marriage happened before the opening of the Sea God’s Palace Dungeon. This caused the monsters’ level to be between 80 and 90. This made it easy for him to kill them.

Li Yi put on his strongest equipment while firing Meteor Arrows. The monsters were eradicated before they had the chance to approach him.

He was unstoppable, and the secret path was soon within reach.

Li Yi drank potions as he ran, completely replenishing his HP and mana.

Fernando the Siren would be waiting at the end of the secret path. He was quite formidable, and any unprepared players would be destroyed in one hit.

“A thousand apologies, Fernando, the child is stubborn.”

Outside the secret path, the Mermaid Queen was seen talking to the Siren.

“Your Majesty, the fault lies with whoever is disrupting our forthcoming nuptials.”

Li Yi kept a lookout for the best possible firing points as he advanced.

He adjusted for a bit. Standing in the secret path, the Siren was well within eyesight.

Li Yi summoned a Water Clone in front of him, then he lifted his bow and aimed at the Siren.

Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrr

Li Yi and his clone were simultaneously charging their Powered-up Arrows.

Whoosh!

The arrows were released, causing the surrounding fluid to ruffle and churn. The two arrows seemed to be competing against each other as they traveled headlong to the front.

Bam! Wham!
