The blueprints were Li Yao’s ultimate goal. Taking the two quests was merely incidental.

Killing wasn’t of any interest to him; he wasn’t a bloodthirsty madman.

The purpose of pushing the copper sphere was very clear: to create chaos and destruction. As for the players from the Blood Leaf Guild, Li Yao could only say that they were out of luck.

At first, Li Yao had planned to hunt down Trolls, but with players who could kill him in a single shot, he naturally would not choose the highly dangerous Trolls. It wasn’t that he couldn’t, but simply that it wasn’t necessary.

The situation today was the same; they simply couldn’t penetrate the armory, completing the first task was difficult enough.

As for the second task, Li Yao didn’t dare to confirm if they would sabotage his plan. He gave them a chance to leave, but they unwisely declined.

If they still wanted to compete with him, Li Yao would certainly not remain polite or compassionate, and would directly use them as pawns and bait.

Originally, Li Yao planned to fight diligently until he’d collected one hundred silver elite skeletons and then proceed with the next step. Now, there was no need.

The rolling copper sphere was terrifying, it was like the entire fortress was going to collapse.

Every troll was panic-stricken, searching around, assuming that their fort had already been breached. This was because the Stone Ball mechanism only activated when an enemy had broken through a level.

The copper ball rolled unimpeded, destroying a lot of things as it dropped down from the sixth floor to the fifth.

The sixth floor was alright, except for the beginning, few goblins were hurt. However, the trolls on the fifth floor were less fortunate as many were steamrolled before they even knew what was happening.

Li Yao had rolled several dozen copper balls in four rows. Many goblins that wanted to stop Li Yao were crushed.

After pushing the copper sphere, Li Yao ran in a direction where his Eagle was scouring the location of the Trade Viscount.

Running was proving to be strenuous as the sixth floor was trembling. A lot of large rocks were rolling down from the mountaintop, and Li Yao had to proceed with caution.

However, as he ran, his experience points were growing rapidly as the result of causing massive damage.

Due to the time difference, the goblins Li Yao ran into were oblivious to what was happening and no one obstructed Li Yao.

“Bad news, the adventurer has broken in and caused serious casualties. Lord Viscount, you need to rush over quickly. The situation is chaotic, and we need your command,” Li Yao shouted at the disheveled gnome running over.

“My heavens, how is this possible? Is your fortress made of paper, to be breached so easily?” The trade viscount roared in anger.

“The adventurer is just too cunning. The situation is now chaotic, you have to go there right away.” Li Yao said anxiously.

“Oh, my! The sphere defense has been broken, which means the enemy is strongly powerfull. Perhaps it would be wiser for me to roll up my property and run right away.” Trade Viscount mumbled upon hearing Li Yao’s words.

Li Yao came to realize at once. Damn it, these goblins were always timid as mice, and he thought he had the upper hand. But he had bungled it; just considering the situation, his escape plan was already in motion.

Li Yao immediately stopped the Viscount who was instinctively trying to run back and said, “The situation is not as serious as you may think. They caught us off guard, creating some chaos. All we need to do is stabilize the situation and everything will be under control.”

“Is that truly so?” The trade viscount looked doubtful.

“Do I need to lie to you about this? If the situation was too serious, I would run away myself. Why would I bother to call you?” Li Yao said helplessly.

The trade viscount instantly relaxed. He coughed lightly and said, “This viscount is wise and brave. Why would I think of running? I was just testing your attitude, trolls. It seems you trolls are indeed timid as mice, unlike us fearless gnomes.”

Ahem…

Li Yao nearly burst into laughter, he then said quickly, “You’re too cunning, suspecting your allies like that. You go ahead first, I’ll call my people for reinforcements.”

“Right, reinforcements, go quickly, go quickly. Leave the task of stabilizing the situation to me.” The Trade Viscount’s eyes lit up upon hearing about reinforcements.

“Alright, I’ll go right now.” Li Yao pretended to run off in another direction. As soon as the Viscount’s figure was out of sight, he darted towards his original target building.

The Trade Viscount’s house was a giant metal structure. Li Yao could see some of the interior from a corner.

“This miser.” As the gnome nobleman left, he assigned a substantial number of gnomes to guard the entrance of his mansion. There even appeared to be an elevator that could ascend and descend.

Perhaps Li Yao could fool the gnomes into letting him into the house, but using the elevator would certainly alert the guards.

Li Yao frowned as he looked over the whole house through his Eagle’s eyes. The huge metallic house appeared extremely fortified.

Moreover, all the windows around it were covered with iron mesh. Any minor movement would surely alarm the guards at the entrance.

As for getting past them by force, please, these were all trusted confidants of the Trade Viscount, all silver elites.

He could even spot two gnome leaders drinking in the hall. Gnomes might be timid, but their combat power certainly wasn’t weak. Under the conditions of having two bosses, he would easily be wiped out in seconds.

Making such a grand disturbance, he only had one chance. If he died once, he would basically lose any connection to these blueprints.

Suddenly, Li Yao spotted the smoking chimney.

“Damn it.”

Li Yao cursed, then turned back into his own shape. He activated the passive effect of the Dark Ranger and moved to the back of the house. With a leap and some Magic Spider Silk, Li Yao reached the top of the house.

Then, he used the World Amplifier tool and shrunk into a being smaller than a gnome.

He found a piece of Linen Cloth, soaked it thoroughly and wrapped it around his head, revealing only his eyes. Then, he changed into junk equipment and jumped into the smoking chimney.

Li Yao couldn’t see what was happening below. He closed his eyes and when he felt a trace of light, he used the Shadow Roll, appearing streaked with black soot in the room.

“Damn it, I’ll get back at you someday.”

Only after Li Yao changed back into his original gear did he feel a little better. He then turned off the effect of the World Amplifier.

Li Yao took a quick survey of the room layout. It appeared to be a bedroom with a fireplace burning.

One glance, and Li Yao spotted another door that should lead to a small engineering laboratory.

Just as Li Yao was about to leave, he noticed a glint of dark-gold from under the bed.

“Why is it so difficult to get rich all at once?” Immediately realizing the importance, Li Yao gave up. Safe boxes would typically require a skilled thief to crack them open, let alone a hunter like him.

Li Yao walked towards the engineering laboratory, but as he looked back, he spotted a dark gold glint under the bed.

Li Yao ran back immediately, adapted his posture to look under the bed, moved a few things around, and then saw a chest emitting a dark gold glow…
