Chapter 320: Stall Set up

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

‘Broken Blade’s enhancement is finally completed, we are now prepared but lack the crucial element! Sadly, the treasure map details for the Expert Job-Changing mission isn’t specific. We probably have to choose expert level again in the second job change in order to get the exact information on the sword edge!’ Lin Jie held both the Broken Blade and Supplementary Sword in his hand—the metallic sword and Broken Blade both occupied the weapon bar. However, when an attack was cast, there would be 2 attacks, which would take others by surprise. With this weapon in hand, other weapons would seem unnecessary.

Wrong, other weapons were crucial too!

Since Broken Blade was able to absorb equipment and differentiate out an attached sword, it would definitely be able to absorb more equipment to increase its strength. If it were to absorb more equipment, the stats of the attached sword would be perfected as well, or it could merge both the sword and blade and build a Heritage Excalibur! Lin Jie’s felt the fire in his heart grow as he thought.

However, the equipment requirements for Broken Blade’s absorption were not low. Lin Jie had plenty of Gold and Silver equipment, but they weren’t up to Broken Blade’s standard. Lin Jie was also ready to stock up on equipment to continue on its enhancements, however, where could he purchase so many Dark Gold and Sub-Legendary weapons? Could it be that it wanted to eat the Kiara Beast King Armor too?

‘Oh well, I have already spent so much time releasing the seal and enhancing the blade, this weapon is already amongst one of the strongest.’ Lin Jie was composed, as compared to his previous life, where he would be panicking and anxious to upgrade his equipment. However, now, he had matured and understood that good thing took time. Furthermore, the greatest boost to him was to kill the Eighteen Massacres and snatch that sword edge!

Following that, would be the Secret Techniques of Clomaros.

The Secret Techniques of Clomaros, was a rare treasure in The New Age, due to the limited numbers of scrolls left behind. Its value was comparable to the Mages’ [Mage Restricted Curse], Priests’ [Holy Light], and the Spellcasters’ [Ancient Demon Code]. Lin Jie was lucky enough to obtain the second scroll, but his ability was not up to par then. But it was different now.

From killing the Sea Mage’s substitute to enhancing Broken Blade, it may seem like it took a long period of time, but it had only taken around 20 minutes. The players that passed by the Brother’s City only thought that someone had activated a monster and killed it. As to the blade’s enhancement, they had zero clues.

His chest rose in temperature as the teleportation path opened, and Bu Yi was teleported there.

This was the teleportation strength of the Ocean’s Heart.

“That guy is dead?” Bu Yi glanced at the weapon held in Lin Jie’s hands in surprise while waving her wand to replenish his health bar and said, “You haven’t teleported for a while, I was a little worried.”

Lin Jie grinned. “What’s there to be worried about me? But the Ocean’s Heart Pearl Necklace… it’s such a pity. It is a great smithing material… The pearl powder will be able to form potions, smith weapons, and even serve as a spell casting material.”

Bu Yi laughed and said, “Don’t be ungrateful, looking at this weapon, it has been enhanced, hasn’t it? You seem to really adore this weapon.”

“Ah… this, indeed.” Lin Jie caressed the blade and smiled. He changed the topic and said, “Alright, since the mission prizes have been collected, let’s make a trip back to the City of Light and either sell away the fish we have caught or cook them. I might be entering the mission space in a few days, you all won’t be able to contact me.”

“Is uncontactable anything new? We are all used to it.” Bu Yi’s lips twitched.

“Er…”

The two of them were back at the City of Light.

Although there was the central auction house, there were still several players that had a passion in setting up a vendor stall, firstly, to relax during leveling up, secondly to escape the tax from the Auction House, and thirdly… obviously was that it was easier to spot and flirt with pretty girls while squatting along the roadside.

“Netherblue brought Little Yuan and the Liang family killers and barged into the Elf Prison. I heard that they have discovered a new dungeon where the starting levels are already difficult, and the weakest monsters are on the Elite level.” Bu Yi recalled, “After participating in the festival, all of them entered the dungeon, I was still hoping to show off my Violet Flame Unicorn, hehe…”

Lin Jie was interested. ‘The dungeon inside the Elf’s Prison?’ That was probably a level 35 imprisonment dungeon, which held powerful and evil Elves, with strengths comparable to the Flesh Beast. If they could successfully clear them all, their overall strength would rise substantially. “Didn’t anyone make it out?”

“No one? Of course, someone made it out!” An arrogant voice sounded as a ball of flash rolled to the front, and two small slits, which were previously wrapped by a cape, suddenly opened, green bean-like eyes blinked and heaved. “The leveling up speed in the Elves’ prison is too slow! As rank… on the board! I am ranked 7? I don’t want to live anymore, I don’t want to live anymore…”

The person who arrived was the number one Fire Mage on the team – as he was the only fire mage – Domestic Fat Cattle. His equipment was luxurious, while his wand that was made of Dark Gold fragments seemed to be enhanced due to collecting two fragments and boosting the attributes considerably. Other than that, he was fully clad in Gold equipment, including his ring.

Glimmering in gold all over, anyone would know that he had a full armor of great equipment!

Yet, Lin Jie frowned. “Fat Cattle, why did you come here alone?”

“Well, I was farming the Winter Spring Valley map alone, and I accumulated quite a few equipment, scrolls, and herbs. Thus, I came here to sell them to earn some coins.” Fat Cattle patted his equipment seemingly inadvertently, causing the glimmers to flicker even more. His voice rose as he said, “Sigh, what a pity! This Dark Gold fragment hasn’t recovered. Otherwise, I would have been first on the rankings board!”

This line attracted tons of stares from the passersby.

“Dark Gold fragments? That’s stuff only high-level players have.”

“Damn, a full Gold armour… What a good-looking lad.”

“Are you sure he is good-looking?”

“I was referring to his clothes!”

Looking at the radiant Domestic Fat Cattle, Lin Jie shook his head resignedly. He found an empty spot and said, “Just nice, we are also selling some items, let’s do it together. You cleared the Winter Spring Valley, so you must have gotten quite the good stuff, right?”

“Hahaha, of course! Winter Spring Valley was a Level 35 map, there were Winter Leopards, Winter Bears, and some Human Ice Mages inside. All of them were high-level monsters with high drop-rates.” Fat Cattle patted his fat tummy. Then he used his small hands to grab all the equipment from his bag, with some difficulty. Surprisingly, there was a huge amount of items and great ones at that!

The [Freezing Set] produced in the Winter Spring Valley was a very useful armor for Ice Mages that were under Level 30. It was able to increase Wisdom by 10, and there were a total of nine pieces, including a Silver wand, [Freezing Wand]. Collecting the full set would come with an attached output skill, [Freezing Snow], which was a type of small Area-Of-Effect attack skill.

Any type of set held a high value!

If the set consisted of weapons, its value would be even higher.

The importance of weapons went without saying, as for a set that contained weapons? Even earthlings knew the strength boost it would bring.

Fat Cattle spread out the items. Although he did not have the intent to embarrass Lin Jie, he could not hold in his grin as he chuckled annoyingly and asked, “Guild Leader, your strength is superior to mine. I wonder if your farming abilities are better as well?”

Under normal circumstances, Lin Jie would have let Fat Cattle show off. Unfortunately for Fat Cattle, with a pretty girl accompanying Lin Jie, of course, the latter did not want to lose. Lin Jie puffed his chest and poured out a small hill of items! High-level materials and Gold items could be vaguely seen. What’s worse, Lin Jie’s hill of items was at least three times the amount of Fat Cattle’s pile.

“What the— so much, how did you even fit them in?” Fat Cattle’s eyes widened in shock as he questioned.

“Hehe.” Lin Jie scoffed. ‘Want to fight with me? My storage bag was stolen from Knight Leader Cade! It’s a royal item, how can it be compared to normal bags?’

Bu Yi saw that the two boys had started their competition, so she quietly took out the herbs she had collected while she had been leveling up, as well as some extra equipment, and formed her own pile. Although Bu Yi was a Priest, she was part of Savage Blade. She was pretty strong herself as well and had received a fair amount of victory prizes. At the same time, her gathering skills were superb, so the items she was selling were considered above average.

However, as compared to the two leveling up madmen, her pile was still lacking severely.

Fat Cattle was still a Fire Mage that held a spot on the rankings board for a long time, and coupled with his Area-Of-Effect Skill, Blazing Fire Rain, his farming ability was one of the best. Not to mention, that fire was a natural enemy to the Ice Monsters, which made farming in the Winter Spring Valley a child’s play. His efficiency was startling as his attacks doubled in power in that area! Naturally, he was able to collect that many items! This was the type of high-level players in the game.

Other players only managed to earn a little while some lost money as they leveled up.

However, Fat Cattle was different—he was earning as long as he was farming! Taking the [Freezing Set] as an example, it could be sold for at least 100,000 coins! This was a Silver Set, including the weapons, its attributes were comparable to a Gold one.

However, as compared to Lin Jie, who was a savage, Fat Cattle was also lacking.

The trio was able to attract a considerable number of players to their booth due to the high prices of items they were selling. However, they were only there to appreciate, as they were unable to afford such high-grade items.

“Beauty, this Bronze ring with +5 Wisdom and +20 Healing Effect, what’s its price?”

“1 gold coin.”

“Ahh, so expensive?”

“It isn’t. This ring’s attribute is almost equivalent to Silver grade. It is only constrained by its basic stats. However, 1 gold coin is indeed the price for Silver equipment. I will drop it to 90 silver coins then.”

“Ah, great, thanks beauty!”

A fair Priest left excitedly after bargaining, paying, and grabbing the Bronze ring.

While Lin Jie and the Fat Cattle were still standing proud and planning to fight each other with the high-grade items they had, they realized that Bu Yi’s business was booming. As for them, they had yet to sell any of their items, despite the large number of players they attracted.

“This… this isn’t scientific.” Lin Jie frowned and grabbed the Level 40 Silver Bloodied Bone Spear, which he reckoned as a ‘high grade’ item. He shouted, “A high-grade weapon, and it only costs 100 gold coins, doesn’t anyone want it? It is definitely a hot item for those in their second job-change!”

“Come and see, the [Freezing Suit] from the number one Fire French Fat Cattle, a Silver Set, is unbeatable! Only 1,000 gold coins and you can bring it home! What the— Where are you running to?”

The two experts peddled for a while but still sold nothing.

“Stop peddling! You two idiots, selling high-grade equipment at commoner streets, are you two stupid?” A cold voice sounded from behind them—it was Opadi Wantless!

Lin Jie glared, then paused and slapped his head. “Damn! Why didn’t you say anything earlier?”

Wantless coughed dryly, silently kept the large pile of high-grade items on the table, and said coldly, “You are the stupid one! I found out 10 seconds ago.”
