“Master, here is your Flame Grass.”

“Master, Little Deck went to kill a Kodo alone. I can’t get him back.”

“Master…”

Tsundere Phoenix was helping in and out for Barbarian Maria.

‘She let Maria become her Master?’ Lin Jie was shocked the moment he walked out of the teleportation circle.

“Oh? Big brother, it’s you?” Tsundere Phoenix winked and smiled. “Do you need to enhance your equipment? I have 5 chances today.”

Lin Jie was lost for a moment. He finally understood what happened these few days after she explained it to him.

Since the discovery that the “shaking furnace” method could increase the success rate of enhancing, Tsundere Phoenix followed Maria all the way to City of Barbarians, pleading and helping to do things as well as taking care of children. With her outstanding performance, Tsundere Phoenix had successfully captured the hearts of many children of barbarians and became their favorite human sister.

Maria looked at her children sadly. They had asked her to help Big Sister Tsundere Phoenix by crying and throwing tantrums. She was forced to accept her as an apprentice and asked her to help with what she could every day in exchange for the number of times she could use the furnace freely.

At this time of the day, Tsundere Phoenix could use the enhancing furnace freely.

Shoosh!

Several figures appeared from the teleportation circle. They took out their equipment and Augmenting Gems eagerly, and said, grinning, “Manito, is it my turn today?”

“Manito, you can just enhance it straight away. I don’t care about the success rate.”

Lin Jie raised his eyebrows. This lady had a good business and reputation.

A Manito in enhancing!

Tsundere Phoenix shook her twin tails and said, “Sorry, I need to help others to enhance today.”

“Ah, that’s a pity…” Facing the rejection of Tsundere Phoenix, they asked no question and shown no discontent. They only reminded her to keep a slot for tomorrow and left after she agreed.

“Great charm, Enhancing Manito.” Lin Jie smiled.

“Now I am a well-known Enhancing Manito!” Tsundere Phoenix held her head high and said proudly, “The success probability of enhancing is as high as 79%.”

“I guess +5 is the max you can go?”

“Huh?”

Tsundere Phoenix thought about it. Since the time she could use “shaking furnace” method was limited every day, it was indeed that she seldom enhanced higher level equipment.

“Enhancing after +5 has a greater chance of failure. Your experience should not be enough.” Lin Jie lowered his head and said quietly, “But I have a way to get her enhancing furnace.”

“Rea… really?” Tsundere Phoenix’s eyes lit. For those who played games, enhancing was an important gimmick in conning players’ money. If a player could get the enhancing furnace, it would be a blow on the NPC’s monopoly.

“But I have a condition.”

“No problem. I’ll sleep with you tonight.”

Lin Jie was shocked. After looking carefully at the little loli with the cute twin tails and sweet voice, as well as a well-developed body… Erm, it would be bad to sleep with her, right? At least, they had to develop feelings for each other.

“Haha, I’m just joking.” Tsundere Phoenix stuck out her tongue.

Lin Jie smiled casually and said, “After you get the enhancing furnace, you are only allowed to use it in the City of Light and shall not enhance more than 100 times a day. I will be the exception. How about it?”

“Deal!” Tsundere Phoenix jumped and gave Lin Jie a high five.

Stealing the furnace required time and effort. In his previous life, it had been this person that was standing in front of him who had come up with the idea.

To be honest, Lin Jie was the master in gaining something without risking anything of his own.

“By the way, help me enhance my equipment.” Lin Jie thought about it and took out the Augmenting Gem.

“Gold Class?”

“Gold.”

Tsundere Phoenix’s eyed lit, and she activated the enhancing furnace excitedly.

At this time, a tremble came from the teleportation circle.

A man wearing a black robe and a purple inflammation crown, while holding a golden staff came out of it. The moment he saw Lin Jie, his pupils almost burst into flames. “It’s you!”

That person was Hell Plume!

Tsundere Phoenix had enhanced his equipment to +5. Ever since Domestic Fat Cattle taunted him, there was something wrong with Mr. Hell Plume’s mind, and he swore to get a +10 equipment.

“I need to enhance my equipment,” said Hell Plume in a low voice.

Tsundere Phoenix blinked her eyes and said, “Sorry, I don’t have any slot for today.”

“Do as I said!” Hell Plume’s eyes went cold. He was completely different from the other day when he was begging Tsundere Phoenix. “In the City of Barbarians, it is okay to kill!”

“Phoenix, help me enhance this to +5.” Lin Jie took out his Dark Slaughter Longsword and Augmenting Gem. He smiled and said, “No worries, it is okay to kill in the City of Barbarians.”

Lin Jie returned the suggestive words back to Hell Plume.

Tsundere Phoenix started the furnace after she heard that. Even if Lin Jie had not said that she had no intention to entertain this arrogant player.

“You are asking for it!” Hell Plume’s anger finally exploded. The ground cracked, and a heavily armed skeleton warrior crawled out of it with a wave of his staff. The withered and fierce face grinned and pulled an upside-down rib from its ribcage, which was its weapon.

Inspect!

[Death Warrior Freg]

Level: 13

Health Points: 1,500

Attack: 45- 85

Defense: 50

Soul Bind: Block 90% damage for the host.

Physical Resistance: When receiving damage through Soul Bind, 50% damage reduction,

Death Word: Summon Freg.

This was Hell Plume’s Contract Summon, and it was his pride! By summoning Death Warrior Freg, Hell Plume was better than all other Contract Summoners.

With Soul Bind’s 90% damage reduction, Hell Plume was almost invincible before Death Warrior was killed.

Freg, who had weak attributes, was the first target that everyone would kill.

“Contracting enhance! Contracting Spur!” Hell Plume raised his right hand, and Contracting Skills was cast on Freg one by one.

Freg walked towards Lin Jie slowly with his weapon. He suddenly paused and charged at him.

Forward Charge!

Ding!

When the Broken Blade hit the rib, a 10 point damage appeared on the top of Lin Jie’s head. Freg’s attributes were terrible!

Hunter’s Forward Charge!

Lin Jie changed his target and rushed in front of Hell Plume. The latter was shocked as the Broken Blade was about to cut him.

Soul Protection!

-15!

“Hahaha, idiot.” Hell Plume laughed. “You can only deal 10% damage. How are you going to battle me? My Soul Protection has 100% parry rate!”

As a job solely depended on summons, Contract Summoners had many skills that could save themselves.

Soul Protection: Your attack is changed to 100% parry. Cooldown is the same as your attack speed.

“Idiot, how could you kill me without killing my pet?” said Hell Plume proudly.

Lin Jie laughed coldly. ‘I would be a real idiot to kill your pet first.’

It was unknown how Hell Plume obtained the Death Warrior, which was really strong. The secret lied in the attribute of “Death”. This attribute could only be activated after death. The first time that attribute was triggered, 2 Freg would be summoned, and as for the second time, 4 would be summoned. In case the attribute was triggered 5 times, it could even summon a Leader Skeleton.

In Lin Jie’s previous life, plenty of players had been tricked by that irrational pet.

“See if you can handle it.” Lin Jie laughed coldly, and he slashed with the Broken Blade again.

Soul Protection!

-18!

“Idiot.” Hell Plume laughed coldly.

Hell Plume realized something wrong when the third hit landed on him—the speed seemed to be faster!

‘Impossible! All basic skills of Berserkers only raise attack power! Skills that increase attack speed are unheard of!’

Fourth strike!

Hell Plume raised his staff. The Broken Blade was already near his chest!

“Go die!” There was a layer of Blade Aura on the Broken Blade, and it came straight at Hell Plume’s face.

“I have Soul Bind, you…”

Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner!

Army Obliteration!

-415!

-429!

-402!

Hell Plume stared in bewilderment as he dropped dead.

Lin Jie put the Broken Blade on his back coldly, and the light in his right palm dimmed.

With Light Empathy, it was way too simple to kill Hell Plume.

Seeing that Lin Jie handled Hell Plume, Tsundere Phoenix felt relieved and activated the enhancing furnace. She hugged the furnace with her little body and started to shake it.

Loli Shaking Furnace…

The first time, success!

The second time, success!

…

The Enhancing Manito from Lin Jie’s previous life was beginning to grow. In this time, Tsundere Phoenix would be growing way faster.

In his previous life, she had spent years enhancing by the road to repay their kindness. What about this time?

“+5! Phoenix makes the best!” said Tsundere Phoenix excitedly. Seeing that she had enhanced another weapon, Tsundere Phoenix was very happy.

“Come here, human,” shouted Maria from afar.

Tsundere Phoenix stuck out her tongue and looked at the strategy given by Lin Jie. She smiled and said, “I’ll go first.”

“By the way, the mister just now was the vice chairman of Angel Descent. He is a detestable person. Be careful,” reminded Tsundere Phoenix to Lin Jie. She suddenly blushed as though she remembered something and walked away with her hands at her back.

[Dark Slaughter Longsword+5] (Gold)

Can be used by Berserkers.

Requires: Level 15

Attack: 95-145

Strength: +30

Armor Ignore: +30

Additional effect: Additional 15% damage towards Dark-type monsters.

It would be a waste to its high damage if this sword was not used to slaughter some dark creatures. It could probably deal more damage compared to the Broken Blade when fighting undeads.

But as a Heritage weapon, the Broken Blade had very strong basic attributes, unlike this pure attack greatsword.

“Element altar?” Lin Jie opened the map of City of Barbarians and looked at the center of it. There was a giant floating platform there.
