MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

“Where are you, Brother Yi?”

“Wandering around the Celestial Capital’s trade center.”

“I’m here too… Come to these coordinates, 33545: 55111, I have something for you.”

“Sure, I’ll be right there.”

Now that the Evil God Scroll had been successfully upgraded, it displayed the next set of instructions. In order to level it up again, Li Yi would need a Void Energy Shard that was Material Quality 80 or above.

A Level 10 Void Energy Shard was precious enough as it is since it could only be obtained as a rare drop from World Bosses that were Level 150 and above.

Low-quality Void Energy Ore could be found on auction, but Li Yi searched for a whole morning and still could not find any that were Material Quality 80 and above.

Li Yi headed for the coordinates and met Qian’er.

Qian’er traded him two Mysterious Eggs and then flew away, waving.

It was no secret that Li Yi had always been collecting Mysterious Eggs; the whole Pantheon World knew about it. Mysterious Eggs were just too rare, such that they were something not even money could buy. So much time had passed since he last hatched eggs, but Li Yi had not found a single egg since then.

Today, however, he had just gotten an egg that Drifting Snow dropped, followed by the two more than Qian’er just gave him. That meant he had gotten three Mysterious Eggs in one day.

Should he hatch the eggs now?

As soon as the thought crossed Li Yi’s mind, it was all he could think of.

The pets he had were almost out of the meta. Low-level pets had a level cap, and Li Yi was at Level 181, whereas of the pets he carried with him, even the one with the highest level cap, the Mutated Snowy Eagle, could only reach Level 185. They could not meet his requirements at all.

He was going to hatch these!

Li Yi always walked his talk, so he went to the world map and farmed for some Refined Soul Stones. Once his Mysterious Eggs were ready to hatch, he chose to hatch them.

“Ka-chak!”

The first egg hatched, and out came a Floral Parrot, a type of Decorative Pet.

“Ka-chak!”

The second egg hatched, and out came a Bone Dog, another purely Decorative Pet.

“F*ck! Can’t you give me a phoenix?”

The first two eggs had been utterly useless, so Li Yi’s hopes of getting a Legendary Pet plummeted.

He had only one egg left. If this one was useless too, then he would have no more chances.

“Ding!”

“What are you doing now, Lil Yi’zi? Help me with my quest boss!”

Just as Li Yi held the last egg in his hands and was getting ready to hatch it, Jiaojiao sent him a private message, asking him to help her with a boss.

Li Yi had an idea and he set up his friend summoning tool, sending Jiaojiao a party invitation. “Come over here first and help me touch this thing.”

“Touch your thing? I touched your thing all night last night, but you want more?”

“Scram, you perverted woman!”

Li Yi yanked Jiaojiao over and placed the Mysterious Egg in her hands.

“Just help me caress it for a bit.”

“Oh, you meant this thing.”

Jiaojiao did not really understand why, but she did it anyway.

“When you’re unlucky, try to get someone else to give it a try. That might change your luck.” — by Li Yi.

“Alright, that’s enough touching. Give it back to me.”

Li Yi took the egg from Jiaojiao and chose to hatch it.

“Ka-chak!”

There was a barely perceptible sound, and the pure white egg cracked open. From inside, a tiny person the size of one’s thumb crawled out.

The person was only as big as a thumb, and aside from a pair of adorable white wings on its back, it looked just like a regular human, albeit a much smaller one…

However, it was worth mentioning that this little winged person was female!

She had a very pretty face and a great body too, but there was innocence in her eyes. It was obvious that she was still underage…

“Squeak squee squeak…”

The little person wriggled out of the egg and immediately hug Li Yi’s finger, sucking it like a pacifier.

Jiaojiao was mesmerized. “D*mn, what kind of pet is that?”

“Huh?”

Li Yi was stunned too.

On the surface, this tiny person looked like a Winged One, a member of the tribe that protected Mount Pantheon. However, he had never heard anyone say that these could be made into pets, and besides, since when could Archers carry humanoid pets?

[Congratulations! You’ve obtained the Legendary Pet, Feathershine.]

There was a cheerful jingle, and the thumb-sized person’s information appeared before Li Yi’s eyes.

[Name: Feathershine (Orange Quality)]

[Race: Winged One (Descendant of the Gods). Race-specific Skill: Flight]

[Level: 1 (no max level)]

[Nature: Spoiled (underage)]

…

Jiaojiao’s jaw fell open. “This… is a Legendary Pet?”

So it really was a Winged One!

Li Yi was ecstatic. Feathershine’s name was orange, and she had no max level, which meant that he could use this tiny person forever!

It was a Legendary Pet!

He f*cking finally got a Legendary Pet!

Li Yi had initially wanted an Immortal Phoenix, because he never knew that Archers could carry humanoid pets. Getting Feathershine was definitely an unexpected surprise.

“What’s a Winged One?”

“It’s written on the official site.” All of Li Yi’s attention was on Feathershine now, so he had no time to explain to Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao checked the official site and soon got her answer.

The Winged Ones were a divine race that protected Mount Pantheon. They were born with wings, so they could fly, and they were natural-born archers too. Anyone who wanted to scale Mount Pantheon must first pass their tests.

Li Yi teased Feathershine with his fingers, and the little girl cooed and gurgled. He was so happy he could not stop grinning.

Suddenly, Li Yi remembered something. Taking Wrath of the Stars out hastily, he called out softly, “Goddess, come out for a sec.”

“Whoosh—”

The Hunter Goddess appeared from the Orange Quality Bow. When she saw little Feathershine on Li Yi’s fingertip, she immediately cried, “Isn’t that a descendant of our Winged Ones?”

Aside from their size, Feathershine’s general characteristics were almost identical to the Hunter Goddess’, which was why he summoned her.

He guessed that the Hunter Goddess must have some connection to the Winged Ones, so he thought she would be able to tell him more about little Feathershine.

“Descendant of the Winged Ones? I hatched her out of a Mysterious Egg.”

“A Mysterious Egg?” The Hunter Goddess was slightly taken aback, but then she shook her head. “The Mysterious Egg may be impressive, but it cannot produce a descendant of the gods. If I’m not mistaken, that should have been an egg left behind by the Winged Ones.”

The Winged Ones reproduced by laying eggs, but Li Yi had seen countless Winged Ones’ eggs in the past, and they were all ridiculously large. They were even bigger than a five- or six-year-old child.

When the last expansion pack he experienced in his past life, Wings of the Sky, was introduced, one of the quests was designed around the Winged Ones’ eggs. Players had to sneak into Winged Ones’ territory and secretly destroy the eggs.

The Winged Ones were descendants of the gods and enemies preventing players from climbing Mount Pantheon. When the Wings of the Sky expansion pack was introduced, countless players died to Winged Ones’ arrows.

“How could a Winged One’s egg be so small?”

The Hunter Goddess mused for a moment before she said, “This is just a guess, but I think this Winged Ones’ egg was cursed.”

“Eeeewaaaaah…”

Little Feathershine sucked on Li Yi’s fingertip for a long time but did not taste anything. Finally, her little mouth trembled and she abruptly burst out crying.

She was hungry…
