Chapter 100: Hell Plume

Domestic Fat Cattle was waiting for someone to continue the conversation. But everyone seemed to be disinterested in his story, and all kept quiet.

Those who were present here were mostly lone wolves. Domestic Fat Cattle was obviously showing off. They would lose if they entertained him.

Lin Jie lowered his head to and drank the free drinks silently. He was researching the information about elements online.

“Hello.”

Lin Jie raised his head and got a big shock.

A round ball of meat was just a finger away from him. The greasy fat squeezed out a funny arc. ‘He should look at himself…’ A thin black line loomed in the middle of the eyelids. It was probably the eyes.

“Yes?” Lin Jie closed the forum for a moment. Although he did not feel like talking to this meatball, he had to maintain the basic respect between people.

Domestic Fat Cattle held the corner of his gown and asked, “Hehe, can you tell what equipment is this?” Not waiting for an answer, he said again, “I will tell you secretly. This is the Gold Class Robe of Light!”

Lin Jie rolled his eyes, almost screaming.

Many people were looking in their direction. Gold Class Robe of Light required 60 points!

Domestic Fat Cattle laughed happily and said, “I was aiming for this equipment when I was the first in the leaderboard. It has great attributes.”

“Okay, can.” Lin Jie nodded.

Although it was called the Gold Class Robe of Light, it had lower attributes compared to some exotic Silver items. The good thing about the Golden Armor Set was that the full set enabled players to have bonus attributes in the dungeon.

Other than that, it was a piece of trash. Well, slightly better than that. Anyway, a pro would not wear this item elsewhere.

“You have great sight and taste!” Domestic Fat Cattle raised his thumb, “You have no idea what I’ve gone through. I did a mission to find elements, and the task site was actually in the City of Barbarians! There were elements in that place too. Barbarians use magic? The children in the City of Barbarians are all Level 30 Elites. That’s tough…”

“Oh?” Lin Jie’s eyes lit up and hurried him to continue.

“That was really tough. If not for my marvelous skills…” Domestic Fat Cattle boasted about his skills while exaggerating his journey in the City of Barbarians. The language he used had turned this meatball into a great hero!

“It’s a pity that those elements’ alters are too dangerous. If not, I would have gone to explore them.” Domestic Fat Cattle took Lin Jie’s drink and drank it all to smoothen his throat.

Lin Jie raised his thumb and said, “Not bad.”

“Hahahaha!” Domestic Fat Cattle laughed. He patted Lin Jie on his shoulder and said, “Brother, you have good eyes. You will be someone in the future. If you need, just call me. I rank firs… er… second on the Level Leaderboard and that should save you a lot of trouble. The first in the board must have used some cheat.”

First in the Level Leaderboard and Level 15 Code Lone Wolf, was actually Lin Jie.

“Then, I’ll depend on you in the future.” Lin Jie smiled and lowered his head, keeping quiet.

‘Cheat? Can even cheats be used in this game? Idiot.” A Contract Summoner named Hell Plume laughed. He had enough from Domestic Fat Cattle’s shouting.

“That’s right, full of air in his head?”

“Maybe the first got Dark Gold equipment? Look at you fatty! Don’t overestimate yourself because you are lucky to be in the leaderboard.”

Domestic Fat Cattle was very angry. He said coldly, “Group of sore losers.”

Hell Plume laughed and took out his staff. It was emitting golden light.

The golden patterns on the top of this magic wand almost merged into one pattern, which proved that the enchanted level of this equipment was at least + 5 or more!

At this stage, a +5 Gold weapon was considered to be divine equipment.

After all, the highest grade an average player could encounter was generally Gold.

“Fatty, you wanna fight?” Hell Plume mocked. As the vice chairman of Angel Descent guild in Prague City, he was a famous Contract Summoner, and he had confidence in his skills. He added, “Or maybe all your experience points were used to level up your bullshitting skills?”

The crowd laughed. Most people were willing to see those who were stronger than them to be beaten.

“Mr. Domestic Fat Cattle, your Dark Gold Shard is ready. Please come and collect.” A clear sound came from outside the door. The laughter of the group stopped abruptly, and the expression on their faces was very wonderful.

Dark Gold Shard!

Domestic Fat Cattle said coldly, “If you have the balls to come, then come.” He walked away and turned around, saying, “Gold weapon? Is it very rare? Lol…”

Hell Plume was embarrassed.

He was proud of the golden weapon as it allowed him to have no disadvantage. Who would have known that this fatty really had something?

There was another name for Dark Gold: Demi-Divine equipment.

In The New Age, there was a huge difference between items. Dark Gold equipment had about 20 to 30 percent higher attributes compared to Gold equipment. It also had strong skills and additional attributes.

Not to mention the mythical Sub-Legendary equipment.

Furthermore, for every 10 levels, the equipment’s attributes would surmount a rank. For example, a level 20 Silver weapon could easily win over a level 10 Gold weapon.

This caused a phenomenon that in every 10 levels, those with Gold equipment would win most of the fights and those with Dark Gold equipment would dominate everyone at the same level.

Hell Plume was very angry. He shouted at Lin Jie, “Trash! Does it make you happy to flatter that fatty?”

Lin Jie rolled his eyes. He picked up the wine glass and realized it was empty. He slouched on the sofa. To deal with such idiots who were trying to save their face, the best option was to ignore them.

“Hum, trash will always be trash.” Hell Plume returned to his seat seeing that Lin Jie was quite. Although he was angry, he was still sensible such that he would not kill someone in the city. But the shame made him uneasy. “Isn’t it difficult to spent 50 silver coins to enter here? How long have you been saving?”

Lin Jie continued to ignore him. Hell Plume was at least a vice chairman, so how could he be that tolerant.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The door opened as footsteps sounded. Blue entered with his well-built body. He was holding the Broken Blade that was just completed. The surface of the blade was shiny and was completely different from the previous lead-looking blade.

The crowd was in an uproar. Blue had brought in the item himself?

Who was this man exactly?

In the surprised sight of everyone, Blue walked towards Lin Jie, who was mocked by Hell Plume.

Some of them started to mock at Hell Plume with their looks. Even he could not receive such treatment.

“Blacksmith, why is his item completed first even though he came later? I need an explanation!” Hell Plume was burning in anger.

Blue stared at him. Blacksmith? Ever since he had been upgraded, no one dared to call him that. He looked down at Hell Plume with his 2-meter-tall body and said coldly, “Who you think you are?”

Lin Jie took the sword over and gave it a light swing. The Blade Aura tore the air and flew towards Hell Plume like a wind blade, cutting through his legs without harming the body.

Such precision shocked the crowd.

The funny thing was that Hell Plume’s pants were cut in the crotch area and some hair was showing through the opening.

“Hell Plume, who you think you are?” asked Lin Jie. Then, he turned to Blue. “Thank you Master Blue!”

“Hehehe. You are too polite, too polite,” said Blue honestly.

Lin Jie turned around and left the hall. What was left there was the anger of Hell Plume, honest Master Blue and the awkward face of many players.

When forging equipment, the utilization ratio of materials needed to be carefully matched. As a Sub-Legendary material, the horn of the Light Unicorn Lion could be made into a Sub-Legendary dagger if it was used as the core of forging and supplemented by a large number of Dark Gold materials. If only gold-grade materials were used to assist in the forging, the dagger’s grade could only reach the Dark Gold at most.

The material of the Unicorn Lion was Sub-Legendary, which had a very good effect in supplementing the Heritage Broken Blade.

The enhanced Broken Blade was shinier and no longer dull and rusty like it used to be. Although it did not have a sword edge yet, it still looked great.

It was a pity that the Broken Blade was still Silver.

But it was obvious that the Sub-Legendary material was useful. The attack power was raised by 40 points with an additional 20 points of armor ignore. Lin Jie’s attributes grew again with an attack power of 274-315, exceeding 300!

There was still some dust on the outer of the Broken Blade. It seemed to be the unabsorbed unihorn powder.

That powder would be absorbed slowly as the Broken Blade was unsealed, and it would strengthen its ability.

Lin Jie recalled what Domestic Fat Cattle said. ‘City of Barbarians?’

Maybe it was there!

Lin Jie had only been there once, and it was the place where he had met Baili Changcheng.

The second time he set his feet on the land, it was more lively than the first time. Lin Jie realized it the moment after he came out of the teleportation circle. Even though he knew the reason, he could not help laughing.

It was because that other than the teleporter, another person was there — Tsundere Phoenix.
