Chapter 99: Dejected Night, Mixed Breathless

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Dejected Night?

Lin Jie remembered. That person was Mixed Breathless’ big brother and also the person that had Mixed Breathless’ girlfriend had slept with. It was the pitiful guild leader that had been unable to continue to deal with people as he had lost face due to that matter.

“Umbral Canyon, 14521.26252.”

Dejected Night left a coordinate and hung up.

Lin Jie thought for a while, and then he took out a Random Teleportation Scroll before heading to the Umbral Canyon.

In Lin Jie’s previous life, Dejected Night’s reputation may be very bad, but he was still Mixed Breathless’ big brother. Thus, he had the qualifications to have him make a trip.

However, Lin Jie could not guess his aim for doing so. Therefore, he needed to be cautious and take safety measures.

Following the instructions of Dejected Night, Lin Jie surprisingly found a passageway that had not been made known to the public. That was the place from where Mixed Breathless entered the Umbral Canyon.

Not far away, Dejected Night stood at the entrance to the cave, his perfectly straight back seemed a little lonely.

“Hello, Brother Fu Sheng,” said Dejected Night as he smiled and stretched out his hand.

Lin Jie nodded his head and asked, ” Guild leader Night, can I help you with something?”

“Yes, kind of.” Dejected Night pointed at the Wolf King Cree and smiled embarrassingly. “Brother Fu Sheng, could you… solo that Wolf King for me to see?”

Lin Jie was stunned.

Dejected Night seemed to have felt that his near 40 years old’s old face was a little awkward. He called a person that he had only met once to come all the way here and then asked that person to solo a Boss. That request did seem a bit abnormal.

“My purpose is…”

“Okay.”

Lin Jie interrupted him. Dark Slaughter Longsword was held in his left hand while Broken Blade was lightly yet quickly pulsating in his right hand, both swords were pointed towards the ground.

At that instant, Lin Jie realized that Dejected Night was very similar to a person… it was the person who had interrupted him from killing Yatasha!

Hunter’s Forward Charge!

What Dejected Night did not expect was Lin Jie directly charging towards the outside of the cave.

One should know, at the cave, they only had to simultaneously face three monsters but at the outside… Dejected Night’s hands flickered with ice crystals, channeling Frost Nova so that he could save him anytime he was in danger.

Bang!

The tip of the Dark Slaughter Longsword was as though a deep plier, piercing into the wolf’s head. It was then pulled horizontally, and the blood was spilled in the air together with the fur that was torn off!

-268!

“Awo——”

Shadow Wolves gathered one after the other.

Wherever one could see, there were only shadows of wolves and numerous densely crowded will-o’-the-wisp-like eyes. The scene of their bloodthirsty fangs gnawing at Lin Jie’s armor, pauldrons, and greaves, coupled with collision sounds, was breathtaking.

-18!

-19!

…

-85!

…

The number of Shadow Wolves was extremely large, so no matter how high Lin Jie’s Defence values were, his Health Bar also rapidly decreased. Not to mention that the Shadow Wolves were a race which was great in their attack powers. There was a small percentage of their attacks ignoring defense!

Dejected Night stood at the cave entrance in horror. ‘How could this youngster be so rash? His Health Bar has already decreased by half! if he stays there for another few seconds, perhaps his health will reach the bottom!’

‘Sigh, it was me who called him over.’ Dejected Night took out his only scroll, Frost Nova, ready to save Lin Jie out.

Just at that moment, the situation took a 180-degrees turn!

Lin Jie’s Health Bar decreased to such a shocking limit that one could say only a shred of blood was left. However, a blood red flare emerged from his body, and the Wolf Soul Necklace flashed slightly. His Health Points suddenly increased, but they quickly dropped back down again.

Death Rage activated!

Flame Boost activated!

At the tip of the Broken Blade, a scorching hot Blade Aura shot out in rage.

One could only see a Warrior with heavy armor charging and killing through the pack of wolves, mowing down all resistance from the wolves. The tip of his weapon exploded out with a sharp Blade Aura. With a slash of his sword, the wind howled.

The pack of wolves on a straight line was blown until they were at sixes and sevens.

“Stand up!”

Lin Jie kicked Wolf King Cree in its stomach. Under the double effects of Blood Power and Death Rage’s Strength Judgement, Wolf King Kerry’s body flew up high. Immediately after, he accurately pierced with the Broken Blade into Wolf King Cree’s stomach!

Weakness Exploit!

-1,125!

Sword Saint Blade Executioner Aura increased 20%, Blood Power increased 50%, Flame Boost increased 60%, Death Rage increased 120%, and coupled with the additional damage from Weakness Exploit’s fixed output… the damage that was dealt was so frightful!

Dejected Night’s pupils constricted. At the next second, he was even astonished to the extreme.

Lin Jie drank a bottle of low-level Berserker Potion and jumped up high; the flame on the edge of his blade was filled tyrannic blood.

Blood Soul Multi-Slash!

-1,455!

-2,200 (Critical Hit)!

+750!

+355!

…

With one slash, Wolf King Cree’s head was directly chopped off! It dropped on the ground and rolled.

Meanwhile, Lin Jie’s Health Bar increased rapidly until it was full. With a heavy, dull thud, he landed on the ground.

‘Killed it! A perfect Kill!’

That was the most exciting and stirring part of being a Berserker and also the most attractive too — the attributes that increased exponentially when endangered, and the Warrior dances on the grim reaper’s scythe.

After clearing the numerous Shadow Wolves, Lin Jie picked up the items dropped from Wolf King Cree. There was a Wolf Fang Dagger amongst them.

[Wolf Fang Dagger] (Silver)

Can be used by Bandits.

Requires: Level 11, Agility: 35

Attack: 24-38

Agility: +6

Armor Ignore: +10

Critical strike chance +2%

Weight: 1.5 pounds

The dagger’s attack power enhancement was not high as always, but its high critical strike chance and Armor Ignore were the key to winning for Bandits. Aided with powerful assassination skills, Bandits could be called cloth armor killers.

Of course, facing plate armor jobs such as Warriors and Paladins with that bit of Armor Ignore would be a lot harder.

Dejected Night looked at Lin Jie in excitement and took a deep breath. He gave Lin Jie a thumbs-up. “Strong!”

Besides that word, he could not say anything else already. Lin Jie used the standard methods of a Berserker to show what was a massacre!

Lin Jie smiled as he said, “Guild leader Night, I believe the reason you asked me to come was not just to see me kill the Boss, right?”

No one else was at the cave, which made it an even better place for a talk than places like inns.

Dejected Night drooped his eyes and sighed. “The War of Light is about to be released, I’m afraid many guilds and workshops would use this chance to rise up.

“I know very well how my guild is. The number of experts presentable is not much, but there isn’t anyone who can cooperate with Mixed Breathless. I hope he can switch to another guild or team.

“He… has been held back by me for too long already.

“Brother Fu Sheng, you said before that you had a team. I hope you can let Mixed Breathless join. Give him a chance, and I believe he will become a huge help to you!”

Lin Jie’s pupils constricted, and he asked, “You know, his temper.”

“Yeah, I know his temper.” Dejected Night gritted his teeth and said, “I guarantee, he will voluntarily leave the team.”

“You… Are you planning to cheat with his… No, are you going to find his girlfriend and put up a show?” asked Lin Jie tentatively, his tone was filled with unbelief.

Dejected Night raised his head in astonishment. From his eyes, Lin Jie already understood his intentions.

In his previous life, the matter of Dejected Night cheating with his brother’s girlfriend had caused an uproar and was despised by the whole game world, so much so that after Mixed Breathless had become famous, many of his fangirls and fanboys had voluntarily researched about Dejected Night in real life, causing much inconvenience to his personal life.

He could only fade away from the game world.

However, who could have expected, just how much effort this big Brother had actually put in for his brother? One could say, one day Dejected Night and Mixed Breathless had an intimate relationship, was another day Mixed Breathless would be mediocre.

He was the most solid shield, but the person who used that shield did not have the strength.

Lin Jie took a deep breath and gave a thoughtful look at the middle-aged man, the expression in his eyes was full of perplex and admiration.

“You… Come join my team,” said Lin Jie solemnly.

“Huh?” Dejected Night was shocked.

“Guild leader Dejected Night, the enormous dungeon that the War of Light releases will be extremely huge. Just depending on us alone, I’m afraid that we won’t be enough to complete it. I am now formally inviting you to join the team,” said Lin Jie solemnly. “I believe that you and Mixed Breathless will become the mainstay of my team. The reason is none other than the loyalty to your friend.’

Dejected Night’s strength was not high, but in his eyes, the top team Lin Jie was in would at least be at the level of professional players. If not, how could they train such a powerful Berserker?

Just treat that as a beautiful misunderstanding.

“Brother Fu Sheng, your… Our team, what is it called?”

Lin Jie’s eyes blinked. “Savage Blade.”

———

In Blacksmith’s Shop in the City of Light.

Blue was doing his best pounding the weapon, bean-sized sweat dripped down from his bald head. To a Blacksmith, it was the most beautiful music.

As one of the few Blacksmiths that could forge attribute equipment, Blue had already started to gain personal advantage by trickery when selling some Silver equipment. Of course, to escape the checks done by the Lord God, he would also let players hand in the materials and pretend to forge the equipment on the spot, then sell it.

That huge man had a humble look, but he had many wicked ideas.

“Hello, I want to forge something.” Lin Jie knocked on the tabletop. The system window automatically appeared, allowing Lin Jie to put the items inside.

Lin Jie flipped his eyes, Blue’s permission increased quite a bit.

He placed his Broken Blade, and Light Unicorn Lion Horn inside and then paid a forging fee of as high as one gold coin.

Now, the gold coins’ exchange rate at the black market was around 400:1. It had dropped a bit as compared to when the cash exchange system was first opened, but as the number of players and their levels increased, the drop-rate of gold coins also increased comparatively.

However, being only able to undergo forging once by spending one gold coin, the Broken Blade was really a gold swallowing machine.

A sweet and pleasant woman walked up to Lin Jie and said to him respectfully, “Welcome, sir, please wait at the lounge. After your equipment has finished forging, you will be immediately informed to collect it.”

One could enter the lounge by spending a minimum of 50 silver coins.

Lin Jie nodded his head. He just nice needed a quiet space to look at materials.

As a lounge similar to a noble’s area, its interior was still very luxurious. The sofa was made with kodo skin, while the table was made of beast bones. Every distinguished guest would be given free drinks according to their consumption.

That, without a doubt, strengthened the people’s psychology of comparing with each other.

Lin Jie casually leaned on his sofa. That comfortable feeling made him, who was tired from leveling up, satisfied and pleased. Lin Jie opened the forum as he wanted to find the nearest area where elements were more active.

Within the four Sword Saints, Elemental Sword Saint was adrift where his position was not fixed, and thus the mission notice was also totally empty.

“Sigh, my Light points are still not enough, I only exchanged half a set…” A voice pretending to be regretful sounded as if he could not wait to attract the attention of people around.

At the sofa not far away, a fatso that had a round body propped his left leg up to his right thigh, and he exclaimed amazedly, “It’s really hard to earn Light points.”

It was Domestic Fat Cattle!
