Chapter 190: City of Elf

With the rapid production of the Middle-Grade Natural Recovery Potion, the second floor of the shop began to overload. Lin Jie could only spend 5 silver coins per day to activate the auto-sorting function in Sky Provisions Shop.

Then, Tsundere Phoenix sent in a piece of good news.

“I’ve used all the gems!” Tsundere Phoenix said with confidence, “But it’s not enough for a standard enhancing. You need at least 20 times more than what you give me.”

Lin Jie was glad and went out to find Tsundere Phoenix immediately. Lin Jie took the enhanced Broken Blade over. Part of the dull blade was glowing due to the effect of the gems used. The tip of the blade was inscribed with a sharp saw made from the gem.

Lin Jie looked at the progress bar. It was at 5%. Judging by this rate, Lin Jie would need to farm the augmenting gems for months without sleep for this Gold Broken Blade to evolve! Not only that, the gems would be less effective after each use; thus, the actual amount needed was more than 20 times.

However, due to the good quality of the gems used, the effect was very good. Attack was raised by 20 points and Critical Hit raised by 8! Not only that, due to Lin Jie’s unluckiness, he got a lot of Flying Feather Gems. That caused Broken Blade’s original moving speed double and a total 10% increase! It had to be said that luck was really subjective.

Lin Jie tried on Broken Blade and started running. His speed was even faster than Bandits and Hunters in normal state! It was at least twice faster than a normal Warrior!

Lin Jie was satisfied. He put back his weapon and smiled. “Are you ready for work?”

Tsundere Phoenix said confidently, “No problem.”

Brotherhood channel.

——Codename Lone Wolf: Brothers! Sky Provisions Shop has hired the Queen of Enhancement Miss Tsundere Phoenix! Anyone with 2,000 points and above can have a free enhancement! We only provide 100 enhancement services per day, first come first serve.

——Codename Demon King: Really? Tsundere Phoenix? The little loli who enhanced a +6 weapon successfully?

——Codename Heavenly Wrath: She joined Brotherhood? Great, I just reached 2,000 points. On my way there.

2,000 points required players to complete a large number of tasks from Brotherhood. There were less than 500 players who had reached this standard, and these were the elites of the elites.

Although 100 free enhancing seemed to be very generous, given the large denominator of the population, it was a drop in the ocean. That was what Lin Jie wanted. If Tsundere Phoenix provided services to everyone, it would draw people with evil intentions. Lin Jie did not like the idea of helping his opponents.

He summoned his Tiger King and ran around in City of Light. Ever since Baili Xuanyuan was locked in jail, there had been less irritating faces in City of Light. Even the streets seemed to be more cheerful.

Many players were starting to learn Horsemanship with all their money. They would go around the town on the little horses given by the system in hope to pick up girls who would be willing to share the ride with them.

Lin Jie took out a scroll from his backpack.

This scroll was the [Secret technique of Clomaros] that Lin Jie won from Flan. This item was like the Nine-Yin Manual hidden in the Dragon Saber and Heaven Sword, one could not understand the skill just by looking at it. This was the Secret technique of Clomaros! Now he had a chance to learn it, even though the hope was not very high, Lin Jie had to try it.

Opening the scroll, he saw a picture: It was a strong human-like creature with a throwing weapon in his hand, piercing the enemy.

That was all as a hint.

Lin Jie frowned, he stared at the rough paper quality. Suddenly, he spotted a bright spot. It was a human creature with two long ears!

It was the symbol of Night Elves!

Lin Jie was glad, Night Elf was one of the races that could be chosen in the Guild of Light. Unlike human territory, Night Elves lived in the Thana Great Forest, which covered a quarter of Guild of Light.

There was only one main city for the Night Elves. Most players called it the “City of Elves.” All players who chose to be a Night Elf would be living in the City of Elves, making the competition among these players much more intense than the human race.

Night Elves were born with talents that allowed them to be very close to Druid and the natural. If a new player was to talk to some animals at the beginning of the game, they could learn the skill “Beast Communication,” which enabled them to talk to animals. The best job for Night Elves was obviously Druid, making the Thana Great Forest a birthplace of Druids.

In the deep site of the City of Elves, there was a Nature Temple, a holy place for Druids. Every half a year, Druids in the City of Elves would have an arena fight. The top three would be granted access into the Nature Temple for further training. In Lin Jie’s previous life, all the famous Druids had trained in this temple before.

“Seems like the clues for this skill is in Thana Great Forest.” Lin Jie decided. Although he knew most of the missions in The New Age, such a mission from a secret technique was random, and he had no clue about it.

However, before he went for the Thana Great Forest…

Lin Jie went to the Imperial City Restaurant and picked up Gilian. She was being forced to wash the dishes to pay up the fees which she was not able to pay.

“Hmph! You are a jerk! I can let it go that you left while I was still hungry, but you did not even pay for me?” Gilian said angrily, “Kindness, Righteousness, Selflessness. The three good qualities of humans, you have none!”

Lin Jie was secretly laughing while pretending to be innocent. He said, “What? How did it happen? I remember asking the waiter to take good care of you before I left… Maybe I forgot? Erm… I’m getting old, sorry for the bad memory I have.”

Gilian rolled her eyes and ignored the pitiful face Lin Jie was making. She said, “Keep on pretending! You did it on purpose!”

Lin Jie smiled and replied, “No, that’s not true! See? I’m here to help you out. If not, you’ll have to wash the dishes for a couple more days. You should thank me for saving you. By the way. I’m going to the City of Elves for a mission. You are a Night Elf, right? Come with me. You had spent so much of my money, just help me save the cost of a map.”

There were three kinds of maps: Rough Map, the map players normally bought in-game which labeled all the normal paths and spawning areas. It cost about 10 bronze coins; Detailed Map, this map cost about 2 gold coins, and it labeled the level of monsters and the spawning areas. It also recorded some of the Bosses which had unstable aggro; Elaborated Map, such a map could not be bought. It could only be obtained from the worship of reputation in the main city, and it needed to be higher than that of the city. Not only did this map record all items, but it also had treasure chests and hidden territories marked out too.

Gilian blinked and said, “You are going to the City of Elves? Sure, I’ll go alone! Maybe you could do me a favor there.”

Lin Jie’s eyes lit up. Finally, he made it! The mission from a gold character card was really hard to trigger! Not only did he have to feed her, but he had also to ask her to come to City of Elves with him. But as long Lin Jie got the mission, he could at least learn a new skill!

“Then shall we go now?” Lin Jie asked excitedly.

“No rush, no rush,” Gilian said calmly. “I’m… hungry…”

“!@#$%.”

——————

“Where are you going?” asked the Teleporter without any expression.

“City of Elves.”

“The cost of trans-regional teleportation costs ten times more. Total one gold coin.” The Teleporter rubbed his hands. Easy money for him!

Lin Jie’s mouth twitched. ‘What a treacherous businessman!’

Trans-regional teleportation was not at all difficult for Space Spiral, and there was no reason to increase the fee at all. But this guy had cheated the players for a year and a half, and the cost of teleportation was totally determined by himself. In Lin Jie’s previous life, the first player Duke had been born, and the real teleportation cost was exposed. It turned out that the system had a specific cost for teleportation! The majority of the players had been angry and jointly reported him. Then, he was dismissed and convicted. Since then, the cost of trans-regional teleportation had dropped to the extreme.

“One more person here.” Lin Jie pointed Gilian who was standing behind him. Since she heard about going to City of Elves, she could not be kept back into the card—it seemed like the mission was already triggered.

Teleporter looked at Gillian and gave a smirk. “She needs 10 gold coins.”
