MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

The entire arena fell silent. No one had imagined how domineering Li Yao could be, not engaging in any reasoning at all.

He was blatantly telling them to either watch or get lost. What’s more, he outright expelled those people from the Qian Word Arena.

“This is impressive; this is a hunter king’s style.”

“Exactly. If you don’t want to watch, why are you paying?”

“Obviously, they came to make trouble, the hunter king has plenty of enemies.”

“Damn it, who does he think he is? So overbearing. I want a refund, I’m not watching anymore.”

“I’m also not watching. I’ve never seen someone so shameless and money-driven.”

“Enough from you all. Who asked you to come here, you keep buzzing after you come.”

“Just stop bothering us while we’re learning, is it that hard not to be shameless while playing a game? Are you serious?”

“They’re pathetic, it’s useless to talk about them.”

Most players remained rational and weren’t confused.

“Fine, those who want to leave, raise your hand. You’ll be teleported out, and the system will refund your ticket money,” Li Yao activated his token and casually said: “Honestly, I really don’t want you to see my techniques. The sooner you leave, the better.”

If they didn’t enter, others would. Very soon, the arena was full again.

Li Yao continued: “I know many remaining here are spies from other guilds, those who are displeased with me, and petty fellows who came to laugh at my expense. But I am aware that the majority are here to learn techniques.”

Li Yao looked around and carried on: “Many of you should have read Journey to the West, even the Buddha said that scriptures shouldn’t be randomly disseminated and should be exchanged for precious objects. Of course, I don’t compare myself to Buddha, my techniques and methods can’t compare to Buddhist scriptures either. But why do I charge? There are two reasons.”

“Firstly, I personally feel that although my techniques don’t compare to Buddhist scriptures, they have some value. I honestly don’t need your money, many of you know why I say this.”

“Secondly, I believe that things which are easily obtained are often not treasured. For example, the educational videos I published, which are free and public, how many people take them seriously and study them? More likely, folks watch them once, or a few times, and think, wow, incredible, very badass. But that’s just me, many of you can’t reach that level.”

“This is due to a lack of seriousness because it’s too easy to obtain. So I’ve decided, my tutorial videos will charge in the future, watch or don’t. Just like today, pay to enter, it’s purely willing buyer willing seller. Now everyone agrees, at least on the surface. As for those who still don’t agree after entering, they’ve already left.”

Li Yao’s words were met with uproarious laughter. Many people felt that Li Yao made some sense.

“This guy, he’s too good at sweet-talking.” Seeing that no one stood out to contradict Li Yao, Angel Guardian was left speechless by the laughter and applause.

“Otherwise, how could he be the guild leader and you’re just an elder?” Fruit insisted calmly.

“Erm, I didn’t want to be the guild leader.” Angel Guardian was unhappy.

“If you were the guild leader, I wouldn’t have joined.” Fruit didn’t spare him any dignity.

The elders laughed at their exchange.

“Most of those remaining are good friends.” Li Yao continued: “I won’t say much more, just one assurance. If I can’t achieve the ultimate achievement within an hour, I’ll refund your entry fees and apologize for wasting your precious time. But I just have one request, when I’m fighting the Sand Dragon King, I don’t want to hear anyone messing with the rhythm.”

“Such a revealing show of dominance, truly worthy of a Hunter King, this level of courage is a must.”

“We definitely came to the right place. Just being here is worth one silver coin.”

The high-ranking players and spies from guilds first felt puzzled, then grew extremely excited, achieving the ultimate achievement means attaining platinum medals.

To clear the stage, remain uninjured, breach position, challenge mode, achieve SSS grade, attaining several of these achievements in a single round earns you platinum grade.

But a full day went by and, up till now, people only managed to clear the stage and achieve challenge mode ranking.

They came to learn Li Yao’s concepts, movement methods and breaching techniques. No one expected Li Yao to be so bold, and aim for platinum in one try. Such confidence and arrogance.

The arena instantly boiled over, most of it was praise and cheers, but many also scoffed, waiting to see Li Yao embarrass himself. After talking big if he couldn’t meet such expectations, it would truly be a great humiliation.

At this moment, a lot of attention was focused on the situation here, not to mention the guilds, even leaders from the three main factions who were monitoring the arena had turned their attention over.

After all, during the last Three Factions Trial, Li Yao had left a strong impression, many high-ranking members of the three factions hadn’t forgotten this rookie soldier.

“You’ve successfully attracted attention from above.” lying on her bed, the queen spoke. Not far away was a light screen where a Banshee was casting spells to display the situation in the arena.

Li Yao wasn’t concerned about all this, he straight forwardly chose Challenge Mode • Sand Dragon King.

“For the sake of significance, in the first half I will only use a level ten blue bow and not summon any pets. In the second half, I’ll use a greatsword to show how to combat the Sand Dragon King at close range. In a moment you’ll realize, charging just one silver coin for entrance, you guys lucked out.”

As he was saying this, Li Yao had already switched to a blue level 10 bow and displayed its attributes.

This was simply too wild, too audacious. The entire arena seemed to have ignited, and it exploded. If he were demonstrating archery, it would have been acceptable, but he was even planning on demonstrating close combat. He was a Hunter King, not a Warrior King.

Li Yao gave a slight smile. This was the effect he wanted. After a few rounds of screening, many of those left were extremely rational. Only such people were needed in Starfire Guild.

Whether they were those annoying troublemakers or those nonsense talkers, Starfire didn’t need them. Li Yao was sure, after today, many people would choose to join Starfire Guild when they were recruiting. This was his true intention.

At this moment, the Sand Dragon King had spawned. Seeing Li Yao, it immediately let out a roar.

The Sand Dragon King, resembling a fish, but had hind legs, the fins on its sides were like wings, a dorsal fin resembling a shark’s on its back. However, this creature lived in the desert, not in water.

It stomped firmly with its back feet, its huge body charged towards Li Yao across the ground like an arrow.

Seeing Li Yao standing still, many spectators screamed. But Li Yao was completely calm.

“The Sand Dragon King’s charging attack starts from very far away, so you don’t need to dodge right away. It can slightly alter its direction. When it’s 10 to 5 yards away, use the dodge skill. Now is the time.”

Li Yao effortlessly sidestepped, Sand Dragon King’s fin brushed past him, causing another round of screams…
