-3,000! (Critical Hit)
Lin Jie waved his Broken Blade and Chaos In The Sky’s body directly flew away. Even before death, Chaos In The Sky did not understand how he was killed by Lin Jie. A Shadower’s advantage was their speed that was so fast, they could not be seen by naked eyes. Together with his Bandit’s skill [Whirlwind Footwork] that he had learned, he would have additional enhancement on his speed when circling his target. Once he started running, he would be like a whirlwind, unable to be seen or touched.
However, Lin Jie just killed him so easily in one slash!
“Impossible! How could this be—” Chaos In The Sky’s eyes were filled with shock. He wanted to scream out loudly to release all his anger and unwillingness to die! He had a hidden job, was the best Bandit in Twilight Transmigration, had all kinds of valuable and rare items, and powerful skills, but he had been unable to use them at all. Naturally, so he refused to comply with such an outcome! However, Lin Jie did not give him any chance but killed him instantly without any mercy.
Shadowers were indeed a very strong job, but it was a pity that the person Chaos In The Sky was up against was Lin Jie.
In Lin Jie’s previous life, he had suffered losses to people with that job in the beginning, but after experiencing countless of battles, he was already familiar with the Shadowers’ skills. Lin Jie was crystal clear of all the special features, advantages, and weak points of the skills.
Therefore, at the instant when the battle started, it was like Lin Jie had returned to the familiar feeling of battling with Shadowers in his previous life. Hence, when facing such a new noob, he had found Chaos In The Sky’s Achilles’ heel in the blink of an eye. Lin Jie had interrupted Chaos In The Sky’s attack, and in addition to Lin Jie’s abnormally strong attributes, he killed Chaos In The Sky instantly with one attack!
What a pity that Chaos In The Sky did not drop any equipment when he died. He only dropped two bottles of potions, so Lin Jie could not help but sigh.
Feng Yun’s whole body trembled as he saw that his powerful good friend Chaos In The Sky was killed instantly. It was as if he could not believe what happened in front of his eyes was true. However, when he noticed Lin Jie’s depressed expression because no equipment was dropped, he instantly broke into a cold sweat. Feng Yun recalled that in practice battles, normally, Chaos In The Sky would always defeat him easily. However, now Chaos In The Sky was so simply and instantly killed by Lin Jie without even batting an eye that Feng Yun’s heart instantly sank.
‘Was it possible that that guy already had the confidence to directly kill Chaos In The Sky from the start? F*ck! What kind of psycho is this? Forget it, let’s not provoke such a psycho now, it’s never too late to take revenge, best to find the right opportunity to seek vengeance.’ Feng Yun’s mind started to wander.
“Feng Yun, am I right? Let me ask you a question.” Lin Jie signaled for him to come over as if they weren’t enemies a moment before. Lin Jie whispered, “Your guild leader, Character Z, has he been in contact with Baili Xuanyuan before?”
Feng Yun shouted loudly, “Do you think I will tell you?”
“You will because after you tell me, I will not kill you,” said Lin Jie seriously. He stretched out three fingers and said, “I will countdown from three.”
Three...
Two...
One...
After the last number was counted down, the air around Lin Jie instantly changed. It was as if he was a fierce tiger that had locked onto its prey, preparing to devour the prey!
Feng Yun’s whole body trembled, and he shouted loudly, “Yes! They are partners in real life, so they ordered us to come and kill you.”
Lin Jie knowingly nodded his head. “I see.”
“Since I’ve already said it, then I’ll take my leave.” A sense of fear towards Lin Jie had already been etched in Feng Yun’s heart.
At the start, their guild leader had sacrificed quite the number of guild members’ resources to let Feng Yun and the others squeeze into the Rankings Board, just for them to be able to rival Lone Wolf.
Feng Yun had been in high spirits and wanted to fight with Lone Wolf. He had even imagined that he could become world-famous through the battle. Now, when really facing Lone Wolf, Feng Yun’s heart had already sunk completely in just two attacks.
Feng Yun tore the returning scroll and prepared to leave in front of the two of them.
Shield Cut!
-1,754!
Broken Blade was covered in a layer of golden light. Before Feng Yun had even reacted, Lin Jie’s attack had already landed, and his health points, which were less than 2,000, dropped dangerously low! What Feng Yun wore was a Leather Armor, so naturally, his Defense was not as high as other Paladins, who wore Plate Armor or Heavy Armor.
“Didn’t you promise not to kill me?” shouted Feng Yun fiercely as he clutched his chest.
“Inksnow, I promised not to kill him, so I’ll leave him to you.” Lin Jie shrugged, then turned and left.
Meanwhile, Inksnow also recovered from her shock. Then she chuckled and walked towards Feng Yun slowly. With a Reflective Shield, she instantly killed him!
Lin Jie thought in his heart as he walked, ‘Looks like what the Final Tournament brings about is not all benefits, at least Brotherhood, which is too overbearing, has already let many guilds feel threatened. If Baili Xuanyuan takes the chance to cooperate with the other guilds, he could definitely draw a bunch of leaders that are also unwilling to let Brotherhood win. If they gather together, the power they possess will not be easy to deal with.’
The good thing was that businessmen had their own ways of thinking and considerations, it would be impossible to let these crafty businessmen to really cooperate with each other. Therefore, the alliance that Baili Xuanyuan had created would not be stable, there would be many cracks. If those cracks could be utilized correctly, then it would be possible for the alliance to fall apart!
“Hey, Fu— Lone Wolf.” Inksnow’s voice could be heard from behind as a bright silver-colored Leather Armor was thrown into Lin Jie’s hands.
[Maneuver Agility Boots] (Gold)
Requires: Level 30
Defense: 12
Agility: +55
Movement Speed: +5
Additional Skill: Your Backstab skill deals 20% additional damage.
Lin Jie put the boots back into his backpack and said calmly, “What’s the matter?”
Inksnow originally wanted to tease Lin Jie a little, but seeing that cold and dignified Lone Wolf face, she actually could not show a charming look. She adjusted her expression, opened her mouth, and said, “Thank you for your help.”
“No need to thank me. We are partners, so it’s only right for me to help,” said Lin Jie calmly.
“You’re right, oh yes, can I ask you what was that skill that you used which strobed with golden light?” Inksnow felt very upset with Lin Jie’s coldness. ‘Could it be that he’s not the same person as Fu Sheng? That shouldn’t be it!’
Lin Jie smiled slightly. “There’s no harm in telling you. It’s Clomaros’ Kill, the skill from the Secret Technique of Clomaros.”
“Oh! So there was such a thing hidden within that scroll of Secret Technique of Clomaros.” Inksnow looked as if she was deep in thoughts, but then she smiled charmingly. “Okay, Leader Lone Wolf, see you next time. I will return to my guild, tell everything to guild leader Dumb Fox, and discuss the countermeasures.”
“Isn’t sending a voice message faster?”
“...”
.........
“Phew....” Lin Jie took off his helmet. He felt a little dizzy as that was the side effects of not sleeping for too long. In his previous life, he had created a record of not sleeping for 68 hours to play in the game. As a result, the moment he went offline, he was crazily hungry, just like a hungry tiger. Lin Jie rushed to the canteen, and right in front of the aunty, he devoured 20 buns and three big bottles of mineral water he had received for free. That aunty even thought he had snuck back from being abducted.
Yan Li, Zhang Rong, and Ziliang were all still in the game. It was almost the same sleeping in the game, and in reality, if one were really tired, they could also rest within the game. Yan Li and Zhang Rong’s work was relatively easier, so they had no problem taking a rest and sleeping there. Naturally, they did not need to go offline. Zheng Ziliang could rely on the powerful Mechanical Gargoyle to occasionally take a nap.
Only Lin Jie was the most tired one, he even felt that he was almost going to faint. He hurriedly took out a bottle of nutrient serum from Ziliang’s backpack and drunk it all down in one gulp before feeling much better.
Lin Jie had exchanged information with Dumb Fox, and both of them confirmed the details of the plan to slaughter the dragon. All of Savage Blade’s team members would join the team to gain experience. As for the loot, Dumb Fox would have the full authority to distributing them since Ambergris needed a total of 4 Accomplishment Points. That was not to be taken lightly as Triumphant Midnight had paid a high price.
After Lin Jie went back online, all of the Savage Blade’s members should be able to raise their levels to 40.
Taking the chance when his brain was still clear, Lin Jie started searching for recent information, gossips, the guilds’ news, and so on. Looking through the forum regularly was a good habit as it was similar to how people in the real world often read newspapers to understand current affairs.
‘Indeed, Baili Xuanyuan started to make a move, he has sponsored quite the amount of money at many Level 2, Level 3 towns, and even small villages, which resulted in his support rate increasing greatly... Sneaky b*stard, is he trying to surround the cities with rural areas?’ Lin Jie could not help but laugh. However, he was extremely cautious and recorded down all the information before continuing scrolling through the forum.
Twilight Transmigration, the only major guild in the City of Twilight had obtained the statue of the Twilight Goddess, which was able to release 100 Twilight Goddess missions every day within the guild, allowing their strength to increase greatly.
The other guilds such as Rise Of The Trapped Dragon, Thunder, and Death Prayers all had consciously or unconsciously started to join the battle, increasing the competitiveness of the situation. If this were to continue, it would become a situation where all the major guilds would start to rise.
The information of the third Main Plot Dungeon had already been leaked, but what most people valued was the walkthrough for the advancement mission. Lin Jie had already passed part of the information on job advancement to Junior Mo, and they were deep in discussion now. Holy Light Rejuvenation Potion had also become a godly potion with the advertising... In the end, besides improving one’s ability, everyone’s attention was focused on the third Main Plot Dungeon.
‘The second dungeon was stolen by that Eighteen Massacres bast*rd, so this time, I’ll take the first clear in one go!’
Lin Jie stretched, and his bones let out cracking sounds. He stood up and did The Refined Punches. Only after he felt his limbs were getting hotter did he return to his bedroom and cleaned himself. He then went to lie down on the bed and fell asleep.
The lessons in the humanities faculty were very relaxed. Since technology had advanced till now, going to university was just for show to prove that one had received education only so that one could obtain an employment permit.
The benefit of it was to prove that they were well-educated intellectuals, and thus would not need to work at the construction site to receive the financial support from the country, like Lin Jie’s father. It would also ensure that one would have a job, which suited an intellectual, such as a secretary or documentation organizer, and so on.
Take Lin Jie for example, his required course only had one lesson per day, but there were five lessons for elective courses. Of course, Lin Jie, who claimed that he was a “professional gamer” naturally did not sign up for elective courses. He also conveniently skipped the required course too.
Snore— Snore—
Lin Jie was too tired, so he started snoring in an undignified manner. He was lying on the bed with his hands and legs stretched out, and his snoring was as loud as thunder. That scene was simply too beautiful to even look at.
When Lin Jie woke up, it was already 28 hours later—he had actually slept for a whole day and night!
“Jie, you finally woke up, come, hurry, and eat this bowl of beef noodles.” Zheng Ziliang looked at Lin Jie with a weird expression as he plucked out the cotton wool from his ear. It was obvious that he was much disturbed by Lin Jie’s snoring. He pushed the bowl of noodles towards Lin Jie, with his face filled with care and concern.
Lin Jie took a look at the noodles and then glared at Zheng Ziliang. He asked, “Where’s the beef?”
Zheng Ziliang coughed dryly before secretly picking out the beef that had been stuck onto his teeth while he was gorging down the food earlier. He then said slowly, “Jie, our dragon-slaying plan is going very smoothly. Everyone’s level in Savage Blade has increased to Level 40, but it was a pity that that old b*stard Dumb Fox was too stingy, he did not share any of the loot.”
Lin Jie knowingly nodded and pointed to the noodles. “Where is my beef?”
“Everyone’s advancement mission has yet to be completed, except that lucky b*stard Baili Changcheng, who completed the Expert-Level. Everyone is all well-prepared and ready, they want to clear the Expert-Level Advancement Mission and obtain the Dark Gold Mystic Skill Book.” Zheng Ziliang continued changing the topic.
“I will settle the advancement mission. The question now is, where is my beef?” Lin Jie kept on asking, a bowl of beef noodles that only had soup and noodles, such treatment was too LOW, right?
“Are you going to f*cking eat it or not? Continue talking, and I’ll even drink all your soup,” said Zheng Ziliang angrily and picked up the bowl in rage.
“You win!” Lin Jie snatched the bowl and started to gorging down the food. He then mumbled with a stuffed mouth, “I’ve saved up quite the amount of gold coins, later when I go online, I’ll sell them all. I’ve f*cking worked so hard, it can’t be that it’s not even worth a bowl of beef noodles!”
