There really was no need to make things so complicated.
Li Yi had planned to leave the guild once they beat Molten Furnace. It had just been brought forward slightly, that was all.
He believed that he had done enough for Dark Empire, but the environment within Dark Empire simply made it hard for him to put his entire heart and soul into the guild.
Everyone liked having money, but if you gave up the fun of playing the game for the sake of money, would that still be playing the game?
That would be being played by the game!
His dream was to be a happy professional gamer who could earn money while also having the fun of playing the game. However, that was not something that he would ever find in Dark Empire.
"When Dark Empire grows to a point that no one else dares to resist us, I'll definitely invite you back in."
"I appreciate that."
Li Yi left the guild!
