Chapter 468: Are You Looking Down On Me?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Everyone was stunned by the change in the situation.

What was going on? Weren’t they just smiling and calling each other brothers?

Lin Jie grabbed Baili Xuanyuan’s head and tossed it down along with his body like trash. He scolded, “I hate it the most when people don’t show me respect. You reject the money I gave you. Aren’t you clearly looking down on me? On Brotherhood?”

Dong—

The corpse descended onto the ground and formed a human imprint in the snow. The huge contrast in attitude struck everybody speechless, and they could not react in time.

Back then, in the video that had gone viral on the internet, where Baili Xuanyuan had taken on 1,000 players alone, he had been so magnificent and invincible. Just one Red Lotus was able to destroy Codename Lone Wolf’s Dark Chaotic Hole, which shocked everybody! But now, he was instakilled all because of one copper coin?

“Okay, since the auctioneer is now temporarily unavailable, I’ll help to host the auction.” Lin Jie cleared his throat as if nothing had happened. He said loudly, “I’m aware of the reason why everyone gathered here. The Xuanyuan Alliance had captured everyone’s heart with the display of wealth from the 5,000 Gold pieces of equipment and 1,000 Dark Gold Fragments. Since that’s the case, our Brotherhood has no choice but to set an example. At the Central Auction House, there is a batch of Level 40 Gold Armor Sets ready for sale. Among them, there is even a Level 50 Gold Armor Set. As for the price… 1 copper coin is enough.”

The crowd was shocked.

What was Gold equipment? They were items that only the elite or wealthy players were able to get their hands on. As their level increased, the grade of the equipment the players were using would only decrease since high-level Gold Bosses were too terrifying, especially when it came to Gold Bosses after Level 40 advancement. Each one of them had ultimate techniques and lethal counterattacks, forcing players to farm normal maps carefully in order to level up. As such, the grade of their equipment was naturally not high.

Today, the Central Auction House was actually selling Gold equipment! To top it off, they were complete sets!

“Oh my God, everyone, look!” Immediately, there was a screenshot sent over by a player. As promised, on the auction list, there were hundreds of Gold items with the name Munjo, all of which had top-grade stats! Also… they were sold at 1 copper coin each!

“F*ck, in just a few seconds, dozens of them are gone already!”

“I want to return.”

“Let’s go, let’s go.”

Instantly, countless players waved their hands wildly as they opened up their returning scrolls, hoping to get a good bargain.

Lin Jie laughed. “There’s no need to rush. Since Baili Xuanyuan played a little game previously, I would like to play one too. You can get the right to buy a Gold equipment set for 1 copper coin only if you leave the Xuanyuan Alliance. Oh, yes. Let me give you all a friendly reminder. The service tax that players of the Xuanyuan Alliance have to pay in the City of Light and Sky Provisions Shop will increase by 300%.”

“Codename Lone Wolf? He’s going too far.” Among the crowd, the guild leader of Never Setting Sun, Scorching Sun, said bluntly, “He’s way too forceful. By killing Baili Xuanyuan, he had already destroyed the original intention of this auction. However, from the way he is displaying his power and authority now, I don’t think the Brotherhood can escape the fate of getting wiped out.”

“That may not be so. I like his personality, when we go back we can work together… I’ll send some people to get those equipment sets first and think about this later. Hehe, what a great haul. They are all Level 40 Gold sets.”

“A person like him will be able to accomplish great things.”

The two guild leaders, Dark Earl and Very Fat, were in approval of Lin Jie’s actions.

Lin Jie’s words caused a huge impact. First of all, half of the players instantly disappeared. The Xuanyuan Alliance, which was already being scattered, had further disintegrated!

Solo players had joined Xuanyuan Alliance to seek protection, earn some allowance, and for the so-called City Siege Plan of Baili Xuanyuan. Now, Codename Lone Wolf had returned all-powerful, and Brotherhood seemed to be dominating once again. These fence-sitters naturally wanted to leave the Xuanyuan Alliance!

In an instant, the number of players in Frozen Tundra decreased by 2/3! The remaining people left were the members of Xuanyuan Alliance, as well as the three guilds, Never Setting Sun, Vampire City, and Knight’s Glory.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Someone clapped from within the crowd. It was none other than Character Z who had mastered the fourth whirlwind! He slowly walked over and smiled. “It’s Lone Wolf indeed. In just 10 short days, you’ve once again improved drastically. I’m very interested in testing out your strength now.”

Lin Jie’s eyes turned cold, and he scoffed. “With just you? I don’t think you’ll be able to draw out my full strength. You are just an insignificant character who cannot even master the Seven Spinning Slash. Do you have the right to speak to me like that? Get over here!” Lin Jie was spitting out nasty words now. When he wanted to assert his authority, he would not hold back with his offensive words.

Death Grip!

Lin Jie stood high above at the peak of Dominating Icicle. He reached out with his right hand, and a giant dark hand instantly headed towards Character Z!

“Boss.”

“Should we make a move?”

“Kill Lone Wolf!”

Behind him, the members of Twilight Transmigration got ready for action. However, they were stopped by Character Z. He stood proudly with his chest out and exclaimed, “Don’t make a move! I’m just about to have a breakthrough and learn the fifth whirlwind for my Seven Spinning Slash with the help of other people’s experiences. Seems like Lone Wolf has learned a new skill that can be a practice target for me. Seven Spinning Slash!”

Spirit Wind Dance, Spinning Whirlwind!

Character Z was bold and took the initiative to rush towards Death Grip. He slashed out viciously with his Spirit Wind Blade. The whirlwinds howled as they restrained the target’s weapon and aimed towards his chest. It was the Seven Spinning Slash!

“Hmph.” Lin Jie scoffed as he waved his right hand. “Mermaid’s Heart!”

In the Munjo Treasure Room, Lin Jie had found the ancient item Morning Dew. After the Mermaid Princess consumed, the skill [Water Beast Summon] in the Mystic Skill Book [Sea Riding Skill] turned into [Mermaid’s Heart].

Faint ripples appeared in the air, and the beautiful Mermaid Princess Herya appeared. She was in the appearance of a human and not a mermaid, with a fitted ocean blue long robe. Her beautiful features were barely visible.

[Mermaid Princess Herya]

Level: 46

Health Points: 2,500

Mana: 16,000

Magic Attack: 463-847

Defense: 400

Skill: Ocean’s Mirror.

Note: Mermaid Princess Herya has not recovered her strength. Precious Water-attribute materials may be able to speed up her recovery rate.

“The Great Sea, Mirror-like Ocean!”

Mermaid Princess Herya opened her hands, and the surrounding snowflakes turned into a layer of water curtain. It was smooth as a mirror, and it exuded the energy of the ocean. This [Ocean’s Mirror] was the only skill that Herya could fully use now. As she regained her strength, she would be able to use more skills.

The moment the four whirlwinds collided with the Ocean’s Mirror, they were all reflected! In that instant, Character Z’s weapon, armor, and even body were restrained by the whirlwinds!

Lin Jie looked coldly at Character Z. He then smirked and struck him!

-1,928!

“Huh?” Lin Jie was stunned. Why was the damage so low? When he looked carefully, he realized that there was a layer of Spirit Wind shield protecting Character Z’s body. It could reduce damage with 800 Shield Points.

“Mystic Skill Book, Howling Wind!” Seeing that his ultimate move was easily destroyed, Character Z panicked and used the Mystic Skill Book!

In real life, he was a master swordsman. From the day he had started the game until now, he had been persistent in his way and never used any skills other than the Seven Spinning Slash. In fact, he had practically only used basic attacks in the game with the techniques from his real life. But now, he had no other choice.

ROAR—

Lin Jie interrupted his skill with Outraged Roar. While he was still “forcing himself against his will”, Lin Jie did not wait for him. Right after he stopped Character Z’s skill, Lin Jie followed quickly with a Shield Cut and Army Obliteration.

Character Z was an All-Agility Sword Artist. His weak body had no defense against Lin Jie, and he was instakilled.

“F*ck! Character Z is the top expert among players, but he was instakilled just like that?”

“It can’t be. It’s impossible…”

“Just how much did Lone Wolf improve in this short time?”

All the players were amazed, except for the members of Twilight Transmigration, who were red with rage.

Chaos In The Sky turned to Scorching Sun, Dark Earl, and Very Fat, and shouted in anger, “Why are you guys not doing anything? Aren’t you our allies?”

“Haha, don’t worry. There’s no rush. Isn’t it still not at the point where we have to make our moves?” Very Fat said happily, “Let’s wait awhile. We have to see Baili Xuanyuan’s response. After all, he’s the main commander. He should be reviving soon.”

Just as he finished speaking, Baili Xuanyuan revived among the crowd.

“How fast…” Lin Jie was a little astonished. He turned and smiled, before saying, “That’s right, with your shrewd personality, you must have used the Holy Light Stone of Grace to set up a temporary cemetery. With that said, are you selling this stone? I’m willing to pay a large sum.”

Baili Xuanyuan quietly kept the Holy Light Stone of Grace in his bag. He then waved his right hand and said coldly, “Everyone, get ready.”

Lin Jie was stunned.

“Lin Jie, hurry go! Baili Xuanyuan is making use of the Shadow Kill Workshop, and they are coming with Mobile Mercury Explosives tied to their bodies!”

Bu Yi’s voice came through the communication device. She shouted in panic, “This is the item that Baili Xuanyuan has prepared to attack the city. Hurry and leave! We will help you buy some time.”

At the entrance of Frozen Tundra.

Thousands of people carrying heavy items came rushing over wildly. They were the people of Shadow Kill Workshop carrying large amounts of explosives and ready to sacrifice themselves! The damage dealt by Mobile Mercury Explosives was around 400, and an additional 300% more to buildings. It was a classic item used for a city siege. However, Baili Xuanyuan was planning to use them to kill a person!

“Scorching Sun, Old Fat, Dark Earl. Don’t just stand there, do something! Kill Lone Wolf first, and then we’ll take over the city, Central Auction House, and Sky Provisions Shop. All of the property in the City of Light shall become ours!” Baili Xuanyuan looked at the three guild leaders sinisterly and said, “If you don’t attack, don’t blame your old friend for blasting you apart.”
