Chapter 668: Chapter 668: Succubus Wings
Everyone turned their attention to the object in Edward’s hand. It was a fragment of the Demon Wings, identical to the one that Starfire had acquired. In other words, it was combinable with her wings.
Starfire immediately became upset. She pouted and said, “I don’t want your stuff. If I want Demon Wings, I can fight for it myself. If I can’t, big brother Li Yao can help me. You’re a bad guy trying to trick big brother.”
Li Yao patted Starfire on the head and chuckled, “You heard her. Starfire isn’t interested, so what you’re offering is not enough. Although my information is a speculation, not the game-breaking truth you were expecting, it’s still worth something, and what you’re giving up isn’t enough.”
Edward furrowed his brows and commanded, “Sea Blue, give me your wings.”
The thief named Sea Blue wordlessly removed the Demon Wings he had equipped on his back and handed them to Edward. His face did not indicate any displeasure.
The expressions of everyone else shifted. Edward’s authority was significant – he commanded his subordinate to give up his gear without as much as a complaint.
It seemed like the most natural thing. There was not even a trace of regret or reluctance.
This was a formidable opponent. That was everyone’s thought.
“Now we have two fragments. If we give these to our little sister here, we’ll immediately have the real Demon Wings. Although it can’t truly fly before the flying feature is enabled, once it’s unlocked, it can become a real pair of wings,” Edward laughed and continued, “That’s the secret I have for you all. Gather more things related to wings, or Flying Mount-related items.”
Li Yao chuckled without saying a word. Who could compete with his keen intuition? He has been preparing for this for a while.
Whenever he had time, he would go to the auction house to find items that seemed unnecessary at the moment, but were crucial for future quests.
The Starfire Guild’s warehouse was always stocked with good stuff, all of which were arranged and prepared by Li Yao himself.
“Two fragment of wings, is enough.” Li Yao privately messaged Edward, “The portal here has the same feature as the trials. Just jump into the void.”
Edward slightly furrowed his brows and said, “Just that tip?”
Li Yao shrugged, “You don’t understand?”
“Even if you didn’t speak, I will equip my team with parachutes. Your information is worthless,” Edward shook his head.
“And they say that you’re smart. How can you be so dense?” Li Yao pointed to the floating land beneath them and said, “Look how high this is. If you use parachutes, you’ll drift with the wind. And there are countless Demons beneath us. If you can’t regroup quickly, you might suffer heavy losses.”
Edward had an epiphany. Indeed, if Li Yao was right, it would be quite tricky for them to regroup.
“Although the information is important, you surely know how to tackle the issues, don’t you?”
Li Yao chuckled and replied, “Alright, I’ll give you a solution for free. You can bring parachutes, but it’s better to equip some gliders. Gliders can control the direction while gliding.”
“Our guild’s mechanic players can’t produce this stuff. It requires a skill level above 1000, and it’s too late to learn it now.” Edward looked at the calm Li Yao and asked, “Do you know where we can buy it, or anyone who can make it?”
“I created my Mechanical Pets by myself, let alone a mere glider.” Li Yao said, “Here’s the deal, I can sell you ten sets. A hundred Gold Coins for each. But only if you help us assemble a pair of wings, otherwise, I won’t sell.”
“You’re too greedy.” Edward was speechless. “A glider costs less than half a Gold Coin. You dare to sell it for a hundred Gold Coins. Are you out of your mind?”
“My time is precious. Producing one pair of gliders consumes at least two minutes of my time. One hundred Gold Coins isn’t too much. You know, the glider can not only help you regroup better but also allow you to pick a suitable landing point to some extent.” Li Yao sighed, “It’s hard being a good person. If you don’t want them, I’d be relieved.”
Edward gazed at Li Yao, grinding his teeth. Had he not known about the gliders, he would have shrugged it off. But now that he knew, how could he let go of this opportunity?
She wanted to be the number one. The advantage was accumulated little by little.
“Damn it, you’re a real devil. Alright, a hundred Gold Coins, but I want thirty sets.”
“Impossible.” Li Yao immediately refused. “At most twenty sets, but for one hundred and fifty Gold Coins each.”
“You’re really stingy…” Edward was about to lose her mind. She had never met someone like him before.
“I’m helpless. I’m poor. It’s hard to be a boss, let alone a poor one.” Li Yao pretended to be helpless.
“Stop bullshitting. Who doesn’t know how rich the Starfire Guild’s warehouse is? Do you think I don’t know how much money you’ve made?” Edward looked at Li Yao, who seemed indifferent, and said, “Alright, one hundred and fifty Gold Coins for each, twenty sets.”
Edward gnashed her teeth, thinking about how to get back at Li Yao in the future. She had never been cheated this badly.
Li Yao handed the two wing fragments to Starfire and said, “The property of the complete wings should be good. Let’s see.”
Starfire nodded and directly merged the fragments. A pair of pink wings appeared on her back.
“Turns out they are Succubus Wings. Not bad.” Li Yao nodded in approval.

“Why can’t I fly like your big brother’s wings?” Starfire was disappointed.
Unparalleled Enchantress said, “Just be content. Your agility has increased tremendously, and your jumping ability is much higher too. Your survival rate has improved. Besides, you can glide infinitely.”
Master Li also added, “The charm skill is likely to be powerful too, considering it as if you have an extra pet. Besides, your big brother has an Archangel’s wings. Yours is at most a little angel’s wings. Huge difference.”
“Alright, I’ll make do for now. Someday, I’ll also have a marvelous pair.” Starfire, the cute and silly girl, nodded in agreement.
“Alright, we’ll also head back now. We’ll rest for a few hours before we gather. We’ll enter the passage again, for both crystals and leveling up.” Li Yao said.
Everyone nodded in agreement. They were all tired.
After a few hours, everyone gathered and started battling for crystals and points in the passage again.
There were many players here, but few of them were fighting with each other. They were all busy enhancing their strength.
Li Yao wanted to level up to thirty, but time was not enough, and his hope fell flat.
However, the team had obtained three more pieces of Golden Dress, which dramatically enhanced the team’s strength. It’s several times faster than during the competition.
The game time now was around five in the afternoon. Everyone started making their final preparations and then gathered again at the massive Trial Ground…
