Chapter 109: Dwarf Identify Skill
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Looking at the back of Lin Jie leaving, many people stared at each other speechlessly.
“Pui!” That Paladin with half of his equipment at Gold-grade fiercely spat on the ground and cursed, “You even dare to reject us, God Shine, you better not come down the mountain or else I will treat you like a monster and kill you!”
A Warrior wearing all bronze equipment went up to them said flatteringly, “Brother God Shine, does your team still lack a Warrior? How about me…”
“Hmph.” The Paladin gave a cold smile, then turned and left.
The Warrior that was ignored was left standing on his original spot. His face was full of awkwardness.
At the bottom of Dark Iron Mountain, all kinds of light rays were shining. Healing spells, magic, and arrows landed on the surrounded Dark Iron Dwarf continuously, but the damage points that popped up were pitiful. Every time a monster died, it was accompanied by excited cheers.
Lin Jie smiled slightly, that was also a pleasure of being ordinary.
The higher he went up the mountains, the number of players became relatively a lot lesser.
The Dark Iron Dwarves that were spawned became even more concentrated, two or three of them appeared together. To the current players, that was a very frightening thing.
Even if it was Lin Jie, he would also need to spend much of his efforts to be able to kill them.
However, their course of action had a regular pattern. Every hour, at the 23rd minute and 27th minute respectively, there would be a change in shifts. In that four-minute interval, as long as one’s positioning and judgment abilities were enough, then they could smoothly head towards halfway of the hill.
In Lin Jie’s previous life, he had come here before to mine. The peak of Dark Iron Mountain would spawn all kinds of Fel Iron Ore, Gold Iron Ore, and even Blood Ore — it was the dream spot for mid-level Miners.
If one’s mining level was just low-level and they were at Dark Iron Mountain, then congratulations, one could mine anything that they liked with a 100% failure rate. A mid-grade ore would disappear after being mined for 15 times, and every time one failed in mining, they could receive 1 point of proficiency.
That was to say, under the condition that one failed every time when mining the mid-grade ore, it could provide 15 points of proficiency!
Currently, when Miners mined low-grade ores, it only provided 3 points of proficiency for succeeding in mining one ore. If one failed then, there would be no proficiency points.
That was the disparity!
“It’s time!” Lin Jie’s pupils constricted, and he activated Frenzy mode. With a swoosh, he charged towards the mountain peak. His footsteps were erratic, the Dark Iron Dwarves patrolling around Lin Jie formed groups of three to five. It was as if once their eyeballs moved, Lin Jie would be in their line of sight!
That route conveniently avoided the brink of their line of sight.
At the most difficult spot, Lin Jie hid behind the rock. As long as he raised his head, he could clearly see the bald back of the Dark Iron Dwarf’s head, shining brightly.
Four minutes, 240 seconds, every second needed to be calculated precisely! Finally, when Lin Jie took the last step, he was already halfway up the mountain! Looking down, the scene where it was filled with players farming was quite spectacular.
That route, if it was only depended on Lin Jie to think about it, he would need at least over four hours of observation to confirm the route. He would also need to spend a huge amount of time trying it out.
It was already impossible to find out who was the one that had invented the route in his previous life. It was only known that the person was a Miner.
The person that accepted the mission to kill him must pass that judgment test!
The accurate judgment to the situation, perfect utilization of every area of the map, it was the compulsory lesson that each expert must learn!
In Lin Jie’s previous life, many famous people would even specially intrude into dangerous maps, and the number of people that died was countless.
Nothing was simple!
Bang— Bang—
Dull footsteps sounded, and Lin Jie hurriedly hid behind one of the rocks. The number of Dwarves in the patrol team halfway up the mountain was over six people.
When the originally powerful Dark Iron Dwarves formed teams, their deterrence increased by tens of times. It was no wonder no players dared to come up and farm monsters here.
The dense ores were really like gold coins scattered on the ground! However, Dark Iron Dwarves were guarding them, so Lin Jie did not dare to act rashly. He moved cautiously without making noise and looked around, finding the coordinate in his memory.
Not far away, there was a rock as big as a house, exposed to the outside. It was eroded by the strong wind and rain, large amounts of moss also grew on it.
There it was!
Army Obliteration!
As one of the few types of sharp weapons, Broken Blade very honorably became a mining tool. Army Obliteration sliced a huge piece of rock down.
Footsteps sounded again! Lin Jie hurriedly dodged, seeing that the six Dark Iron Dwarves left, he went back to mine the rock again…
For a total of half an hour, Lin Jie had already dodged 75 waves of patrolling monsters, the mining process was slow.
Bang—
Another team of Dark Iron Dwarves appeared within sight. Lin Jie gritted his teeth, not hiding anymore! The rock was almost chiseled out!
“There’s a Bandit, kill him!”
The Dark Iron Dwarf team leader was in a fury. His right hand that was full of muscles was raised up high, with only an 80cm tall body, as he charged towards Lin Jie violently!
-101!
-106!
…
Lin Jie’s Health Bar instantly decreased by 1⁄3! That was a level 25 monster!
Although Lin Jie had a powerful defense, which far surpassed normal players, it would be tough for him to face those monsters. If it was the crowd of players at the foot of the mountain, that attack just now would reduce more than half of their health points!
Army Obliteration!
The Broken Blade pierced into the rock vigorously, and the last bit finally broke off! Now, Lin Jie just had to pull the stone out! Just when Lin Jie was rejoicing, an iron fist suddenly smashed on his back, and the remaining over 500 points’ Health Bar was almost instantly emptied!
-417!
Bang—
Lin Jie’s face was stuffed into the rock at once, and his body was even heavily pushed, he was squeezed inside totally. His mouth that was open wide was full of huge amounts of stone powder!
Wolf Soul Necklace flashed and regen 100 points of Lin Jie’s Health Bar.
He was almost out of health!
In desperation, Lin Jie forgot the pain in his mouth and hurriedly drank down a Health Potion. The feeling of the cooling Health Potion mixed with stone powder was…!
‘Thank goodness, the effects are still here.’ His Health Bar recovered by 1/3 and as his body was stuck inside the rock, Lin Jie only needed to face one monster’s attack, so it was still bearable.
Lin Jie gritted his teeth, with a push from both hands, he exerted force and dragged himself out of the stone seam. He turned around and found out that within the group of monsters, there was actually a Dwarf that was like pure silver!
Dark Iron Dwarf Leader Mia Rocca: Level 27 Rare Elite, HP: 140,000
It was him that nearly killed him with the palm attack!
Lin Jie heaved a sigh of relief. In front of him was still a very cute and adorable little Dwarf that was waving around his fists, attacking him in a speed of one fist per second.
Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner!
With a sweep of the Broken Blade, a big wave of 300+ damage popped up.
+190!
The Health Points absorbed instantly made up for the Health Points lost to the little Dwarf’s attack.
Lin Jie laughed heartily. ‘Awesome!’ He picked up his dual swords and slashed towards the Rare Elite’s head.
That was the race advantage overpower!
Lin Jie was taller than Dwarves, and his hand was also longer. In addition, as a player, he could use weapons which created this situation now. The only one who could deal fatal injuries to Lin Jie was only the Rare Elite, but its small fists could not reach Lin Jie’s essential parts.
Weakness Exploit!
-395!
Ultimate Strike!
-357!
That situation was like an adult bullying a small child, pressing the latter’s head and stopping them from coming closer. Then, flicking the child’s head meanly…
Lin Jie’s attacks all landed on the head of the Rare Elite. When his Health Points were low, he would activate Flame Boost or Blade Aura and slash with a sweep while trying to preserve the small Dwarf’s HP that was blocking the way.
As for the other Dwarves, they were all moving Health Potions!
‘Now that I have enough output, my defense is powerful. If I learned something more, like Healing skills, wouldn’t that be satisfactory?’ Lin Jie thought for a while and then sighed.
Warriors were not allowed to learn skills such as Healing skills, only rare equipment had a small chance of having additional healing effects. If Warriors could regen themselves while tanking the enemies’ attacks, wouldn’t it be akin to driving others up the wall?
As time passed by the second, the Rare Elite’s HP were almost emptied, while the small Dwarf, which was blocking the path, had lost half of its HP. In one breath, Lin Jie activated a few skills, his Broken Blade slashed on the body of the Rare Elite — it fell while wailing!
—’You have killed the Dwarf Patrol Leader Mia Rocca, You have received 320,000 EXP.’
—’You have received 15 Dark Iron Dwarf common silver coins.’
—’You have received “Smithing Log”‘
As expected from a rare Dark Iron Dwarf Rare Elite, it really only did drop a few rare ores and a skill book…
There was no equipment! Lin Jie pursed his lips. ‘You deserve to be that short!’
After the Rare Elite died, Lin Jie activated Flame Boost and cleared up the other Dwarves. Then, he started to collect his spoils!
His spoils were Dark Iron Dwarf common currency that summed up to a total of 17 silver and 35 bronze coins, six books of “Smithing Log” with quality below 10. The only “Smithing Log” with quality 25 was dropped by the Rare Elite.
In total, a team of monsters only dropped 2 silver and 25 bronze coins! The coins’ drop rate could make one’s hair stand up in anger…
When the Dark Iron Dwarf currency was exchanged to human currency, it would be worth 70 silver coins; its worth could be imagined. That wave of monsters were literally just two roast whole lambs… Wahaha.
As for the Skill Book… Lin Jie picked it up.
[Skill Book: Dwarf Identify Skill]
Dwarf Identify Skill: Identify a target and obtain information on the target’s stats and equipment. The higher the proficiency, the more complete the results of Identify will be.
Furthermore, that Skill Book even included two sub-skills. The so-called sub-skills were skills hidden within the Skill Book which could be learned after satisfying a certain condition.
Sub-skill-Dwarf Sight: When your observation height is lower than 60cm, your line of sight is increased by 5. Requires Dwarf Identify Skill mid-level.
Sub-skill-Keen Sight: You can see through any living creatures in Stealth Move within a 3×3 yards radius, causes the target to be exposed for 1 second. Requires Dwarf Identify Skill high-level.
Lin Jie was elated, it was an Identify Skill! The Inspect Skill that players used normally could only obtain the target’s name, level, and Health Points, whereas Identify could obtain more complete information, including equipment.
Although the Dwarf Identify Skill could not be compared to Legendary skills such as Spirit Identify or Revelation Identify, it was counted as quite good within The New Age.
Lin Jie turned the Skill Book into a ray of white light, and the sound of footsteps entered his ear.
It was not the Dark Iron Dwarves’ footsteps! Lin Jie was delighted. ‘She who accepted the mission actually came this quickly? Not bad, not bad, just this speed of decoding the monsters’ route is definitely one of the best!’ He then turned and hid behind the gap between the rocks.
A small hand reached out for the Rare Ores that the Rare Elite had dropped. Although Lin Jie couldn’t care less about the ores, brazenly taking them like this wasn’t that good, right?
At that moment, Lin Jie was still hiding within the ores, only to see that that hand was a little agitated. The hand grabbed the ore, and it was still slightly trembling.
The small hand was delicate and smooth, it was definitely a girl! No doubt about it! Lin Jie pulled out Broken Blade and changed out of his iconic Sub-Legendary equipment. He carried his Broken Blade behind him and took out the Silver Set that he had already prepared long ago. He then put on a mask to hide his name…
The longsword was unsheathed!
“Greedy!” Shouted Lin Jie loudly. He laughed coldly, and the Silver Fine Sword slid the small white hand.
Dong~
That person fell onto the ground on her bottoms and revealed two graceful rounded beautiful legs. A pair of moving eyes sized Lin Jie up calmly.
That girl… He didn’t know her!
