Chapter 374: Qiu Yuan Cried
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Lone Wolf, I’ve already given you my news. The thing you promised...” Eighteen Massacres paid for the drinks with a grim expression. He was cursing Lone Wolf and the mbers of Savage Blade in his heart. Over 2,000 gold coins just from drinking. Even if they were enemies, wasn’t this too much? That was over 20,000$ in real life!
Even 10 pigs eating nonstop for one entire day would not spend that much money.
Therefore, humans were terrifying creatures.
Lin Jie grinned and held out his right hand. A drop of golden crystal water swirled around in it. “I don’t know if your information is true or not. However, I can give you so things first. You know what this is, right?”
“Dark Holy Water!” Eighteen Massacres’ eyes grew wide with excitent. “How many do you have?”
“One drop.”
“...”
“Don’t be ungrateful. The Dark Shrine is set to be destroyed. I’ll give you the best thing there is, a warning. Let warn you, leave the Dark Shrine and seek atonent at the Holy Church. 20 atonent missions will make a set. You will have to complete the sa number of sets as the number of days you drank Dark Holy Water. After you are done, you will pretty much be cleansed. This drop of Dark Holy Water here is for you to drink after you are done with the atonent.” Lin Jie smiled as he watched Eighteen Massacres’ expressions change as if he was riding a roller coaster. “By then, the final battle would’ve started. I can verify if your information is true, and at the sa ti, also remove a crazy enemy like you for Savage Blade. That’s not too bad.”
Eighteen Massacres’ eyes lit up. “You are that confident that you can win the tournant?”
“Of course.” Lin Jie stood up and added, “Okay, let’s take a break. Redeem your points, rest offline, and prepare for the tournant. After the tournant, the third Main Plot Mission will begin. We’ve got an abundance of great items from the sosaprobic Shrine. Also, when we destroy the Dark Shrine in the future, we will have a greater advantage compared to other players.”
Everybody stood up with a stern look on their face and left calmly. It was obvious that they were suspicious of the “truce” with Eighteen Massacres, and were unwilling to leak any information to him.
Eighteen Massacres shrugged and left.
Lin Jie continued to sit in the pub’s room. Everything in there, including the furniture, floor, and ceiling, were covered in a layer of white pearl powder that was crystal white. They looked luxurious as if they were made of pure pearls.
When the rmaid Princess was absorbing Sea Mage Laney’s arm, the strong air current blew, and blood splattered everywhere. The Seaheart Pearl Powder from the arm covered the entire room. Lin Jie took in a deep breath. The air tasted like seawater.
‘Such dense Water Elent!;
“Sea Riding Skill!” Lin Jie waved his right hand and called out. The deep blue book that resembled the sea appeared in his hand. It lightly flipped to a page that showed the shadow of the ocean.
—’You’ve cast the Sea Riding Skill, proficiency of mystic skill 2.’
Lin Jie clasped his hand, and the blue book disappeared.
Again!
—’You’ve cast the Sea Riding Skill, proficiency of mystic skill 2.’
...
That’s right, in the older tis of online gaming, Lin Jie’s action would be referred to as “spam skills leveling”, which was improving the proficiency of skills through repetition. The skills in Mystic Skill Books were difficult to raise—they required 10,000 proficiency points just to increase from Level 1 to 2. So of the skills in the books would require a high proficiency level to be used as well.
Tranquility of the Sea was a passive move, so it could be used upon learning.
However, the second skill, Water Surge, required the Sea Riding Skill to be Level 2 in order to be used. One skill could be cast every 5 seconds, so only 1 proficiency point could be added each ti. It would require more than 12 hours to increase the level of the skill.
In this room, the amount of skill proficiency points gained was doubled. This ant that a whole 6 hours could be saved! That was the terrifying power of this room! It had already revealed its full potential now. In the future, when the demand for raising skill proficiency level increased, just how popular would this room be?
“Sakura!”
“Coming, is there anything you need?”
After hearing Lin Jie’s call, Sakura’s pretty face popped into the room. She smiled and asked, “Do you still want more Tears of the Sea Dragon? I can give you a 1% discount.”
“Haha, the next ti I co here, I’ll definitely order a few more expensive drinks.” Lin Jie looked around and smiled. “It’s pretty comfortable in this private room here. We, Brotherhood, have decided to book this room for a long term. We’ll pay you 20 gold coins every month as rent. What do you think? I’ll say this first, it’ll be a breach of contract if you allow anybody else to use this room.”
Sakura nodded vigorously. “I know. You are Baili’s friend, which ans you are also my friend. I will fulfill your request. I won’t let anyone else reserve this room.”
“Okay, deal.”
They looked at each other and smiled. When another player called out from the lounge, Sakura imdiately went to greet the custors.
‘This Sakura’s Pub is related to Baili. Since he specializes in ice, he will improve greatly here.’ Lin Jie thought to himself. He then settled down into silence and focused on increasing his skill level.
After the final battle was over, the third Main Plot Dungeon would be opened. Lin Jie had to advance his job, as well as complete many other tasks.
Just as Lin Jie was tirelessly spamming his skill, there was a great commotion in the ga.
It was due to a notice from the system.
—System Announcent: Player “Ninth Master” was surprised to find a [Water-Splitting Assassin Job-Changing Token] when opening the Tournant Reward Gift Bag.
Water-Splitting Assassin, a Hidden Job!
No matter if one won or lost, everybody would have a chance to obtain the Tournant Reward Gift Bag. It mostly gave insignificant items like EXP, gold, and potions. Many players did not even sign up for the final battle since they did not care for the gift bag. However, when the announcent ca out, everybody went into a frenzy! Initially, almost half the players believed that the tournant was just a stage prepared for elites. The top ten prizes were amazing, but they had nothing to do with them.
Now, seeing that sothing like a Hidden Job-Changing Token could be obtained from even a regular gift bag, who could resist? No matter what the Hidden Job was, just from its reputation, there could only be one word to describe it: Aweso!
Under this influence, regardless of their level, gender or age, everybody signed up to join the tournant, even Level 10 newbies. They were all hoping for a Hidden Job-Changing Token to fall from the sky and improve by leaps and bounds.
At that mont, the mbers of Savage Blade were battling in the tournant too. As the fight progressed, even the most normal players were able to collect hundreds of points while experts were able to get over thousands! According to the “winner takes 50% of the loser’s points” rule, the points accumulated by the mbers of Savage Blade piled up drastically.
In the finals, only 20 players were selected to battle in duels. The top ten would be rewarded generously.
First place: 1 Dark Gold Item, 2 Levels Increase, 1,000 Main City Reputation, and 1 Random Reward!
Second place: 1 Dark Gold Fragnt or Dark Gold Item, 1 Level Increase, and 500 Main City Reputation.
Third place: 1 Gold Item or Dark Gold Fragnt, 1 Level Increase, and 300 Main City Reputation.
Fourth to tenth place: 1 Gold Item, 50% of EXP bar, and 100 Main City Reputation.
One piece of Dark Gold equipnt was enough for a player to stand at the top of The New Age! On top of that, the normal gift bag had a chance of giving a great item like a Hidden Job-Changing Token. Everybody’s blood was boiling with excitent as they planned to win the rewards.
Tournant Arena.
Qiu Yuan had a grim expression as she looked at the opponent in front of her. She tightened her grasp around her staff.
Since the start of the tournant, Qiu Yuan had fought fiercely and obtained 1,830 points, ranking in 15th place. Although it was not that high, it was pretty decent. However, the further they progressed, the stronger their opponents beca. The number of points lost would beco greater as well. There was a chance of losing everything in one go. After all, it was a competition. There had been hundreds of rounds of battles held in Lin Jie’s previous life. The mont one lost one of them, they would be disqualified from the finals.
In this round, Qiu Yuan’s opponent was the “Water-Splitting Assassin”, Ninth Master!
Just as its na suggested, a Water-Splitting Assassin used quick water attacks to slice their opponent. This was a stronger job compared to Bandits, who used daggers. Throwing away the conventional weapon of poisoned daggers, this job delivered the strongest and fastest attacks to finish its opponent!
Ninth Master was a 20-year-old young man. He was full of youth and power, looking down on everybody else. A perverted smile broke out on his smug face. He licked his upper lips and gave out an unpleasant peal of laughter. “Babe, it’s just a tournant, why are you wearing a mask? Why don’t you take off your mask and show ? Or else you’ll be wasting your gorgeous 82, 61, 87 body.”
With just his glance, he was able to estimate her sizes accurately. Even Zheng Ziliang could not compare to him.
However, for Qiu Yuan, this was an insult to her. Although she would always pose in front of the mirror and praise her own body narcissistically, she would never allow n to tease her like this.
“A filthy mouth can never use decent language.” Qiu Yuan’s expression turned cold. Although she normally had a bad temper, Qiu Yuan was completely calm when battling. She waved her wand, and her trademark shadow fog covered the entire arena! The small battle arena had now beco her territory.
Whoosh—
Qiu Yuan’s staff disappeared, and a stream of dark purple light was left by a dagger. Nobody could have expected that Ninth Master would be able to get close after a Shadow Priest had cast their skill. Even if it was Lin Jie in that situation, he would have been caught by surprise.
“Kiss of the Dark, Soul Concussion!”
-573! -747!
Before Ninth Master, the Water-Splitting Assassin, could react, Qiu Yuan hit him and dealt Critical Hit damage. At the sa ti of the attack, a sharp pain in the ear ca. It was the Shadow Priest’s Soul Concussion, which caused every target within a fan-shaped radius to be put in fear for 1.5 seconds.
Qiu Yuan smirked in victory and prepared to end the fight. Unexpectedly, Ninth Master’s body trembled and turned into a puddle of water.
Water Substitute!
“Hehehe, babe, you sure have a temper.” A grim figure appeared behind Qiu Yuan. Ninth Master’s dagger struck nacingly from the back. The attack was so fierce it cut through the air!
A Water-Splitting Assassin’s attack was indeed powerful.
Qiu Yuan’s body dropped as she used the basic action of squatting to dodge his attack. In her left hand, a small black hole ford! This was her ultimate move, Shadow Black Hole! Since it did not require any weapons, it was hard to predict this move. It could deal basic damage of up to 750 points and would bind the target for 0.5 seconds.
Unexpectedly, Ninth Master did not attack her or dodge the attack. He held out his hands like claws and grabbed Qiu Yuan by her waist, silently waiting for her breasts.
“Hahaha, Milk-Jug-Catching Dragon Claws!” Ninth Master licked his lips and laughed. “It would be worth it to die in the hands of a beauty. Babe, aren’t you touched that I’m willing to drop my levels just for you?”
Swoosh—
Just as Qiu Yuan’s breast was about to be touched, her body suddenly turned into white light. She had actually given up on the battle and was being transported away! Qiu Yuan forfeited!
Ding~
—”You have lost the tournant. Your accumulated points have decreased by 915.”
—”Congratulations, you’ve won a Tournant Reward Gift Bag.”
Outside of the arena, Qiu Yuan’s pale face heated up and turned red. She was almost dizzy from anger. In her rage, she opened her friends column and clicked on Fu Sheng’s chat bar before typing a series of words. Just as she was about to hit send, her eyes landed onto “Bu Yi” on her friends column. Her body trembled as if her energy was forcefully taken away from her, and she knelt down in grief.
“Boo-hoo...”
