Chapter 131: War of Light!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The earth was torn apart, and the Devils Fork was transformed into hundreds of high mountains, on which countless fortresses were situated! The first super-large dungeon-group main mission in The New Age, War of Light, was officially open!

Immediately, the dungeon entrance was filled with countless players who had been waiting for it for a long time. A batch of elite warriors from different guilds marched at a neat pace with a gorgeous and handsome War of Light set. All of them were solemn.

War of Light dungeon-group had levels from 10 to 50. There were many dungeons, and each of them had a First Clear reward, Achievement reward, Equipment reward, and so on. Even if there was one dungeon a day, one could take years to complete it without repeating any of the dungeons!

The official announced the news immediately, “The dungeon-group has six main dungeons! The First Clear of dungeons of the main mission will receive a very generous reward. The first dungeon of the main mission is the level 15 dungeon of the Belief Church! The dungeon does not have a difficulty level. There is only one difficulty, but players can complete many branch missions within it and achievements in the dungeon, as well as obtain a more generous reward!

Many NPCs were summoned by players. They set an Army Base to provide supplies for players.

And this place was already crowded with players! In order to run the dungeons smoothly, the system had to develop a “walkthrough” mode. A single coordinate allowed hundreds of units to stand, in order to prevent the players with fragile hearts from seeing a body full of heads and different faces, as it might result in a heart attack. The system also specifically activated the “Ignore” function.

It had to be said that The New Age was very considerate.

Lin Jie, Mixed Breathless, Dejected Night, Unexpected Childe, Lost Camel, and Star Kill stood at the corner, waiting for Commander Tyrese.

The sand dusted and hoofs sounded. Handsome Tyrese galloped on the Holy Light Warhorse. She halted, pulled out her sword, and yelled, “Warriors, march!”

The dungeon was officially opened!

BOOM!

The crowd rushed into the dungeon portal, and some came out from the other side.

“The heck? One dungeon needs 50 points to enter? Are you kidding me?”

“Aren’t points used just to exchange items? System are you playing me?”

Many players cursed together in a loud voice! To enter the War of Light dungeons required points, and the source of points was the pre-task! To get into the main mission dungeon, a lot of points were needed! The system started by issuing tasks to provide points that allowed players to directly open up the first main mission dungeon.

Sadly, the guilds were too competitive!

The Heavenly Shield collected the points from members and exchanged War of Light set immediately, followed by Triumphant Midnight. They posted their sets to show how strong they were. That had become a trend in the game. At last, everyone thought of the Dark-Robed Knights. The latter had revealed their 100 sets, so everyone was under the impression that they would be the ones to get the first clear.

They did not know that points were not meant to be spent that way!

50 points!

After the dungeon-group was opened, Tyrese was still publishing missions, but most of them were dungeon missions that could only be completed in the dungeon. Others were errands or collecting missions that only provided 1 point each. One would probably need to spend the entire day to enter the dungeon.

“Hahaha! Luck I’m smart and kept my points from the beginning! Brothers, let’s go!” Some people were happy, and others were sad. A buff man named Handsome Meow laughed and entered the dungeon with a group of young fellows.

One could receive points by clearing the dungeons too, and the loop went on.

“Let’s go!”

“Let’s go!”

Somewhere on the map, Netherblue was delighted. She led her team into the dungeon.

“F*ck!” Heaven Plume brought along a group of elites with the best equipment. Each of the equipment is strengthened and enhanced. They even brought dark potions. Who knew that they could not even enter the dungeon!

“Ask those non-official members to hand in their points!” he added.

“Boss, half of them quit the guild,” reported Broken Wings immediately.

Heaven Plume gritted his teeth and said, “Ask them to come back! Give them the official member benefits!”

“Oh, Plume, tough time huh?” The Heavenly Shield mocked.

Heaven Plume laughed coldly and said, “Why? Not enough of the jail… How did you get out? Shouldn’t you still be in jail?”

The Heavenly Shield scratched his neck and said, “The female captain in the jail is my girlfriend now. SO here I am.”

“Bullsh*t!”

“Lol, don’t have time to bullsh*t with you. Time to explore the dungeon.” The Heavenly Shield waved.

Heaven Plume laughed. “What? You? You were the first to buy the sets. You spent all the points for the sake of competing, right?”

The Heavenly Shield nodded and smiled. “Yeah sure. But I knew that I could not beat y’all, so I stopped buying the sets.”

“Let’s go!”

Many players from the Ironwall Empire entered the dungeon, and soon the area became less crowded.

All the guilds were in a panic!

Dumb Fox said, “Raise the benefit of the guild, hire people here right now. I just need the points, hire all those with points.”

Midnight reminded softly, “Post missions at Brotherhood!”

Dumb Fox’s eyes lit up, and he said, “Yeah, hurry up! Post missions at the Brotherhood! Ask for those with points.”

Brotherhood’s ‘accepting all’ characteristic immediately played an important role. Many lone wolves had more or less dozens of points. Now that a single point cost dozens of dollars, who would miss this good deal?

Dumb Fox was delighted. Brotherhood’s members made a fortune, so it was a win-win situation!

“Let’s go!” Dumb Fox laughed and entered the dungeon.

His action reminded many people, and they rushed to apply for membership in the Brotherhood to buy points. Lin Jie accepted all of them! In just a moment, the number of transactions increased, and the price of points soared all the way. As an intermediary, Lin Jie made a lot of money by just sitting aside.

Heaven Plume was very troubled. He had some old grudges with the Brotherhood!

‘That is bad, the progress of the guild cannot be affected!’ he thought. Then, he called Code Lone Wolf and said solemnly, “Do you manage the Brotherhood?”

Lin Jie looked at the phone and was delighted. He answered, “I’m the guild master’s relative. How can I help you?”

“I want to join the organization.”

“Out of consideration.”

“Wait!” Heaven Plume panicked. “I want to apologize for what I’ve done! I’m the one who in the wrong, please do not let it affect my other guild members. We all fight for glory, please give me a chance!”

Lin Jie sighed and said, “That is touching. I see that you are not really a bad guy. Seeing that you’re so considerate about your brothers, it fits our vision!”

“Then…” Heaven Plume was glad.

“Then you can pay a little less. 100,000$ for application fees. Not much, yeah?”

“100,000$? Just to join? Don’t go overboard!”

Bang!

Lin Jie hang the phone.

After five minutes, another guild entered the dungeon. Heaven Plume could not wait anymore and transferred 100,000$ to Lin Jie. “I’ve sent you the money.”

“Heaven Plume is generous.” Lin Jie smiled and said, “Now you can post missions.”

“I can’t publish high-reward tasks. What’s wrong?” asked Heaven Plume.

“Oh, the Brotherhood has a very strict hierarchy, each level has a limit. But it’s okay. Money can make the devil grin. I’m here to offer the service of converting points. One point costs 30$.”

“Point? War of Light point?” Heaven Plume was delighted. “I’ll buy it.”

Lin Jie rolled his eyes, “You think too much… I’m selling the Brotherhood’s points. You can publish missions after about hundreds of thousand. Then, you can buy points from our members.”

“I… F*ck you! @#$%…”

Lin Jie laughed. In the end, Heaven Plume did not manage to post any mission in the Brotherhood. He had his 100,000$ scammed!

Right then, the first system announcement appeared!

—System announcement: Congratulation to player Netherblue. Her team obtained the First Clear of [Light Volcano]. They are rewarded with 100 War of Light points, 100,000 EXP, 20 silver coins, 1 Light Talisman, and the Wristguard of Light Attacker (Silver).

—System announcement: Congratulation to player Qiu Yuan for obtaining the First Clear of [Light Volcano]…

The crowd was amused. Team Netherblue! The team that had obtained the first clear of the expert-level of Cat Demon Lair! They had appeared once again after being silent for so long!

Lin Jie smiled. It had only been an hour!

Light Volcano was one of the easiest dungeons. All the monsters dealt light-type damage, so Lin Jie had prepared the Light-Resistance Potion in advance. As long as the skill was there, it was not easy to clear!

Lin Jie opened the dungeon page and entered the level 10 dungeon [Light Hatchery].

“Fu Sheng, we are not going to Belief Church?” asked Dejected Night in surprise.

Lin Jie nodded and said, “No rush, we will get more first clearings and earn more points.”

Dejected Night’s mouth twitched. To get a first clear was easier said than done. There was still a certain degree of challenge. How could he put it in such a simple term?

Light Hatchery was a dungeon that gave decent EXP in War of Light. There was a Broodmother called “Varina” in the dungeon. It could spawn more than 30 spiderlings every second; thus it was a good place to farm EXP.

“We go straight in and kill the Broodmother. Do not touch the other monsters,” said Lin Jie. He took out his Shield of Courage and dashed forward.

Everyone exchanged a look, and they followed Lin Jie.

Spiderlings rushed to the crowd, but they were pushed away by the shields. Dejected Night had Flash, and the others were all agility classes. It was easy for them to move forward.

The six of them rushed in front of the Broodmother, with only 30% of their health points remaining.

Broodmother Varina: Level 12 Overlord, HP: 60,000

Varina spilled out a spider web. It went out like a cannonball!

“Let me.” Lin Jie drew out his swords, and the web hit him square on the chest. A huge damage number appeared!

-1!
