Chapter 75: Lost Camel
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Blessing of Strength! Blessing of Weapon!
Eighteen Massacres held his long spear high, with all the blessing buffs on it, it gave a sharp sparkle as it stabbed Lin Jie directly. Eighteen Massacres’ Hammer of Sanction was ready, so long as Lin Jie was controlled, he could be killed instantly!
But who knew that Lin Jie would rush right into the spear instead of dodging it?
Eighteen Massacres was surprised to see Lin Jie, who was stabbed in the chest by the speartip. While the number of damage was shown, Lin Jie lowered his head…
Boom!
A big red basin-like object hit Eight Massacres’ face! That was Wild Mage·Winter’s fireball!
The Boss had entered rage mode, and fireballs were everywhere. All the surrounding trees were on fire, giant trees collapsed, and charred leaves flew in the sky.
Hunter’s Forward Charge!
Lin Jie’s heavy footsteps left compact footprints on the ground. The Withered Leaf Sword stabbed Eighteen Massacres’ eyes. In the process of stabbing, the Seven Style Spear turned into a long halberd and chopped down heavily!
When the two weapons collided, the quality of the weapons immediately became apparent. The quality of the Seven Style Spear was higher than that of the Withered Leaf Sword, and the judgment attributes of the Seven Style Spear was higher. In addition, Eighteen Massacres chose the output type of Retribution Paladin, which had more ferocious stats than Lin Jie.
“Hum.” Eighteen Massacres muscles protruded, and he flicked the Withered Leaf Sword away. The Seven Style Spear changed successively in his hands and transformed into the shape of a venomous snake, stabbing Lin Jie’s neck!
Lin Jie pulled with his right hand, and the Broken Blade appeared.
At the same time, fireballs from the Boss came like a meteor and hit Lin Jie on the back!
-285!
The magic damage of the Dark Gold Boss was too scary!
Blood Power rushed in. With the disappearance of the fireball, Lin Jie used Flame Boost. The blood reservoir of the Broken Blade rose like crazy.
Blood Soul Multi-Slash!
-400!
-400!
“This…” Eighteen Massacres was shocked.
This attack was like he had used the skill of a flame sword the moment he lost his weapon. After the attack from Broken Blade, Lin Jie used Shield of Courage to cover up the attack, and it did a good job.
Withered Leaf Sword fell and stabbed in the ground. Lin Jie picked up the sword and cut Eighteen Massacres’ neck.
——’You have killed a Believer of Dark Shrine, Eighteen Massacres. You received City of Light Reputation 20 and 1 Glory Point.
Lin Jie was shocked for a while. ‘Dark Shrine?’
In the early stage of the game, the had system deliberately blocked the map between the two camps of the Guild of Light and the Tribe of Darkness. In other words, in the early stage, it was rarely involved in camp warfare. Dark Shrine was a special case! It opposed the churches and the empire. Players could grow faster by joining the dark temple. It even had a unique Dark Holy Spring, which could be drunk once a day, adding random attributes to players. After years of drinking, players could gain a larger amount of attributes than ordinary players.
However, all that would be possible at a certain cost. Dark Shrine could not learn the highest skills! When the players’ level was gradually higher, some players would learn legendary skills, that was, the so-called forbidden spells. Dark Shrine was not qualified for this, and any player who killed them would receive both Reputation and Glory Points.
Glory Points could be used to exchange for Military Rank Sets.
It seemed like Eighteen Massacres would undergo a lot of changes in the future.
Lin Jie adjusted his helmet, put his swords on his back and turned around to leave.
“Boss!” Shallow Smile was shocked. She watched the battle situation changing rapidly. Eighteen Massacres had the advantage from the very start, but he was killed in one hit!
Now was the key time to kill the Wild Mage and the team could not be distracted. Swallow Smile used Arcane Blast to bombard Lin Jie’s back angrily. It dealt a lot of damage, but… that fellow’s health bar barely dropped.
Lin Jie’s health points were beyond people’s imagination.
Through the woods, Lin Jie found Eighteen Massacres in a pond-like cemetery. Without delay, he activated Forward Charge and Blood Soul Multi-Slash!
Almost effortlessly, the weak state Eighteen Massacres was killed again.
——’You have killed a Believer of Dark Shrine, Eighteen Massacres. You received City of Light Reputation 30 and 2 Glory Points.’
‘Tut-tut. No wonder nobody joined the Dark Shrine in the past. Once discovered, they sure would be killed again and again.’ Lin Jie shook his head and turned away.
This time, Eighteen Massacres did not revive.
He had learned his lesson and was afraid that people were camping for him.
That was exactly what Lin Jie wanted! Lin Jie hid in the woods and gnawed on a piece of bread. He watched the blood reservoir of the Broken Blade slowly calm down and laughed. In his previous life, Lin Jie had not obtained the treasure map, nor the sword blade. Thus, the Broken Blade’s development was not perfect. This time was different!
The reward for Berserker was a treasure map, and this map corresponded to the Heritage Broken Blade’s sword blade. What did that mean? It meant that Berserkers and Broken Blade were definitely connected.
That was why Broken Blade could enhance the Blood Soul Multi-Slash.
This attribute was not marked on the weapon. With years of experience in using the blade and understanding of The New Age’s mechanisms, Lin Jie made a note: Every 10 minutes, the blade will get a hidden passive, so that the next skill can trigger the passive, greatly enhance the damage and ignore the defense.
How to calculate the damage was not known, but the increase was huge. The basic damage of Blood Soul Multi-Slash was 65%, and the Broken Blade could deal 400 damage!
Sadly, it could not trigger Army Obliteration.
After half an hour, Eighteen Massacres resurrected carefully. Lin Jie’s eyes lit, and he activated Forward Charge and Blood Soul Multi-Slash…
This time the reward was even higher: City of Light Reputation 100 and 5 Glory Points. Unfortunately, killing Eighteen Massacres would not give any bonus reward. Every kill would just give 10 reputation points and 1 glory point.
Eighteen Massacres should not revive anymore. He had been killed three times in a row, which was a great blow to him. As such, Lin Jie stopped camping and turned back to the city.

What Lin Jie did not expect was that everything was video recorded!
The uploader was unknown, while the shooting distance was so far that the video looked very blurred. Although only their backs could be seen clearly, it was evident how miserable Eighteen Massacres was.
“Damn, this guy is good!”
“Eighteen Massacres was in a weak state. An unequal contest brings no honor to the victor.”
“It is normal for players to camp and kill you a few times after killing you once. But Eighteen Massacres is so lucky. Not a single item was dropped.”
“Many players are wearing the animal helmet recently…”
“They are from Brotherhood. Everyone in the organization wears the helmet.”
The video attracted countless people, and Lin Jie was nicknamed the Wolf of War. He was ranked among the top 100 fighters by the onlookers because he had killed Eighteen Massacres.
His ranking was low because nobody knew how he had made the kills.
Speaking of the Leaderboard, An Xiaoran must be mentioned. She was pushed out of it by Junior Mo with the shocking news of his job-changing. The girl’s IQ improved and she began to abandon the rankings of the official website and set up many rankings herself. Things like Top 10 Players of The New Age, Richest 10 of The New Age, Top 10 Cute Girls of The New Age and so on, were eye-catching.
Naturally, the Top 10 Cute Girls of The New Age had the highest views…
————
Lin Jie opened the leaderboard and looked through it carefully. This list was still quite credible.
1st: Level 13 Fire Mage, Domestic Fat Cattle
2nd: Level 13 Opha, Wantless
3rd: Level 12 Bandit, Demon Robe
4th: Level 12 Hunter, Xiao Li Vibrator
5th: Level 12 Elemental Shaman, Lucermen
After the job-changing, dungeons were largely open to players, and their attributes soared. Thus they leveled much faster. Lin Jie did not concentrate on leveling up and had been unable to stand in the top 100.
The leaderboard was dominated by mages and warriors. The former had amazing clearing ability, while the latter had tanking ability. Domestic Fat Cattle had been ranked in the 19th position in his previous life but had fallen quickly later. Ophadi had finally begun to rise, and the ranking of Demon Robe was far ahead. If that went on, Demon Robe would soon pass the entry examination of that organization.
Lin Jie did not recall this Xiao Li Vibrator. As for Lucermen, Lin Jie recalled that he was a very low-key shaman. The only famous event was that this person had stopped the siege from Nagas all alone with his lightning magic.
Lin Jie cleared the memory from his mind and thought about a lot of dungeons that were suitable for training. But with another treasure, he would be more efficient.
He went to Sunshine City and set up a stall: Buying a large amount of Lizard’s Eye. 10 Bronze coins each.
Lizard’s Eye was the exclusive item of Sunshine City. The city’s training monsters, from level 5 to 30, were all lizards and all lizards would drop Lizard’s Eyes. It was shown as material, but the sell value was very low. A Lizard’s Eye shop could sell for a bronze coin at the shop, but there was a wandering witch outside the city who was collecting Lizard’s Eyes for three bronze coins. Some smart players bought Lizard’s Eyes for two bronze coins and sold them for three bronze coins. They made a little pocket money in the early stage and had a smoother experience of the game.
Lin Jie’s price was like a local tyrant and had attracted countless players in an instant. One by one, they packed their bags and went back to the city for fear that the man would not take them when he had enough.
“10 Bronze Coins each. Don’t rush!”
“Queue up! Queue up! Bro, I have 60 here.”
The trading place was packed and crowded.
Then, someone poked Lin Jie in the back. Looking back, Lin Jie saw a hunter, Level 10, with only a few pieces of equipment on, and those were only bronze-grade. He was also carrying a rough wooden bow behind him.
Lost Camel!
“Your price… Is it wrong?” Lost Camel asked, “Lizard’s Eyes aren’t that expensive. If you want, I have more than 200. You can just give me five silver coins.”
“Dafuq, what’s wrong with you? Lizard’s Eye worth more than that, okay?” Passersby stared at him in a hurry. This guy was spoiling their plans!
“That’s right! Go away!”
“Bro, I still have Lizard’s Eye. Let’s trade.”
Lin Jie turned around and smiled. “Can I have those for free?”
Lost Camel shook his head and said. “Nope. There is a witch by the gate buying these at 3 bronze coins each. Those worth 6 silver coins. I can sell to you cheaper. Firstly, I do not want you to be scammed. Secondly, I just need 5 silver coins.”
Lin Jie thought for a while. “You want to buy Augmenting Gem for Job-Changing Mission?”
“Erm?”
“How about this.” Lin Jie put his arm around Lost Camel’s shoulder. “You pass the difficult trial without buying the Augmenting Gem, and I’ll give you 50 silver coins. On top of that, I will supply you with all the potions used in this period. How about it?”
Lost Camel took a deep breath and said with a red face, “Why are you making fun of me when I’m trying to help you? Can’t you see my equipment? How could I pass the trial with them?”
“Yes, you can!” Lin Jie said solemnly. “If you can’t, I will pay for the cost for your items to be enchanted to +5 as compensation for wasting your time.”
“I can’t? What a joke! There was nothing I could not do since I was born!” Lost Camel stared at Lin Jie. “Deal!”
“If you clear it, do you dare to join my team?”
“Courage is my middle name. What do you think?”
Lin Jie smiled secretly.
Phoenix Beast King Hunter, the No. 1 Hunter in Lin Jie’s previous life had taken the bait!
