Bab 7: Qiu Yuan

Editor: Atlas Studios

"Hoo…" Lin Jie sat down and took out some bread and water to consume to restore the health points and mana lost from the battle.

"If I were you, I wouldn't sit just at any place to rest," a serious female voice sounded from behind him, "If I were someone with bad intentions, you would have been dead and level-downed, losing all your battle gains."

She was dressed in a light purple full body dress and held a Shadow Magic Staff, which was the reward of the mission [The Lure of The Ghost]. Although it was a Blank Equipment, other than the fact that it did not add any additional stats, it did not lose out to Bronze Equipment. That was one of best early game Blank Weapons that players could get!

However, all those were not of Lin Jie's concern because the moment he saw how she looked, he had lost his ability to think rationally.

'Qiu Yuan…'

While Lin Jie had been training hard for the War of the Gods, two girls had been supporting him. One was the one he would never ever forget and for whom he would try his utmost best to repay. The other was her…

The way those two had met was particularly interesting. Qiu Yuan had wanted to get a Gold chest, and she had gotten chased down by the Dark Shadow Wolves of the entire White Cloud Valley.

Lin Jie had happened to be nearby and saved her. The two were supposed to not have much interaction and just part their ways. However, Qiu Yuan had gotten thick-skinned and asked Lin Jie to help her with her quest to open the Gold chest. That was how the two had formed their friendship.

After that, it had become the story of how Lin Jie, under the influence of his own ego and her looks, repeatedly helped her and ended up becoming her… good friend.

Due to Qiu Yuan, Lin Jie had gotten to know that girl. She was Qiu Yuan's roommate and also the girl of Lin Jie's dreams. Eventually, they had gotten together. However, the story that had ensued made Lin Jie unsure of whether to cry or laugh.

Qiu Yuan would often appear and act as a third wheel. Even during the time when Lin Jie had been feeling "high" from drinking and decided to have sex with the girl, Qiu Yuan had appeared and stopped Lin Jie, leaving with the girl, who was red with embarrassment.

On the second day, Lin Jie received a message, 'Don't even think about flirting with my wife!'

"Looked enough?"

Coming back to reality, Lin Jie awkwardly realized that he had been staring straight at Qiu Yuan. He hurriedly looked elsewhere and smiled. "Thanks."

Indeed, the critical hit nearing the end of the Boss' life had to do with her! Qiu Yuan's job was a Shadow Priest - the most unpopular job among all Priests! That job was meant to provide healing to some extent but could not compare to the jobs practicing the way of the Holy Light - the Holy Priest and Ascetic Priest. That job was also capable of using dark shadows to attack enemies, but its damage was meager, and hence, it was considered as a definite fringe job.

The only thing worth mentioning was its various crowd control abilities.

The skill that Qiu Yuan used was the most essential skill of the Shadow Priests, the [Dark Speech]. That skill could conjure an assembly of shadows to attack enemies, causing fixed damage - 5 points of dark shadow damage per second. It was affected by skill level and magic attack and lasted for 6 seconds. When that skill critically hit the enemies, their critical strike chance would be reduced by 10%.

The level 3 Rare Elite's critical strikes against Lin Jie had a 100% chance, but just by reducing it by 10%, there was a chance for a miracle! Lin Jie's luck was exceptionally good, as he consecutively avoided the two critical strikes using just that 10% chance!

Since Qiu Yuan had appeared here holding her Shadow Magic Staff, she must have definitely accepted the sequel mission to the [The Lure of The Ghost] - to collect [Bone Dust]! Although the price of [Bone Dust] was not high, its drop rate was especially low, and it was only available here.

After accepting the mission, NPC would teleport players to the shore of the Spirited Lake of the Undead. However new monsters would not spawn to this place, and hence, players needed to search for four runes before they could temporarily possess the ability to revive corpses.

The sequel mission was to collect 50 sets of [Bone Dust].

It sounded very cumbersome, as it definitely was. However, the mission reward was a level 10 ability of a Dark Priest. Enjoying the benefits of having a level-10 skill prematurely was definitely worth a player's sweat!

Lin Jie picked up the items dropped by the Rare Elite's body. Other than the [Undead's Hatred], which was about the size of a brain, there were also a pair of boots and a skill book. That was considered a massive drop!

[Decomposed Battle Boots] (White)

No job restriction

Requires: Level 2

Defense: 2-4

Movement Speed: +1

It was not a bad pair of War Boots. On the contrary, it was useful as it could even help remove the pain of walking barefoot.

The other Skill Book had a carving of a light purple flower on it. It seemed like it was not just an ordinary Skill Book!

Skill: [Kiss of the Dark]

Casting Resource: Mana

Skill Description: The caster can shoot a dark laser-beam at a targeted enemy within 30 yards, dealing 10 points of basic damage. When the target is infected with the Dark Speech Skill, 5 additional points of damage are dealt.

Job restriction: Priest

"This skill book is for you." Lin Jie smiled.

The Kiss of the Dark was a rare direct attack skill in the Shadow Priest's skill inventory. Although it was useless in the later stages of the game, at the current stage of the game, having an additional output skill was a huge boost in a player's capability!

Qiu Yuan crossed her arms and pouted. "No need. I was just helping in passing, bye."

Lin Jie smiled bitterly. It was definitely his lecherous look that left a bad impression on her. Well, any girl would feel disgusted by being stared lecherously on their first meet.

In his previous life, it was him who had saved her. At that time, Qiu Yuan had been more open and cheerful, unlike now; the only thing on her face was a polite smile and nothing else.

Naturally, after his second chance to life, many things would change. It was better to leave some things to progress steadily, letting them flow. In his previous life, they had become best friends, but who knew what they would become in this life.

However, Lin Jie did not obstruct her and just said, "If you don't mind, we could form a team. I can directly summon the Undead."

"Oh?" Although Qiu Yuan did not really like that guy, since he could help her save a large amount of time in her mission, she saw no point not forming a team. She nodded and said, "Let's form a team. Let me put it straight, we will share equally the dropped items, and all of the [Bone Dust] will be mine. I don't want that skill book."

Lin Jie nodded and sent a team request.

Qiu Yuan's temper was worse than a bull, and he knew that.

-"Player?? (Name hidden) joined the team."

Lin Jie smiled bitterly and did not speak anymore as he used his Death Language Potion to revive a corpse. This corpse was a normal Undead and had better than normal stats compared to a handicapped corpse. However, with the help of an additional person, killing it was not that difficult.

Qiu Yuan only knew the Dark Speech skill. 5 damage per second was really not that significant. She tried her best to use the Dark Speech skill to cover the Undead's eyes, but the 10% reduction in critical strike chance was seemingly ignored.

And in line with a gambler's fallacy, having used that skill to avoid two consecutive strikes, it would appear that Lin Jie would not enjoy the reduced chance of critical strikes for a long time.

-12!

-11!

…

Compared to Qiu Yuan's damage, Lin Jie's damage was much more effective! To feed his ego and also to add some relief to an otherwise tense situation, Lin Jie unleashed his Blade Aura attack. The bronze sword and the Blade Aura attack immediately killed most of the Warrior players that Qiu Yuan knew.

"Thud-"

The Undead fell and dropped a set of [Bone Dust] and [Wretched Thoughts].

"Bone Dust!" Qiu Yuan was delighted, as she stored it away.

Lin Jie conveniently asked, "What mission do you need the Bone Dust for?"

"Hmm."

"I have 12 sets of Bone Dust here, and I have no use for them. I'll give them to you." Lin Jie retrieved his [Bone Dust] and smiled.

"It's alright, thanks," Qiu Yuan politely declined.

Lin Jie did not pursue it, as he composed himself and continued killing monsters.

Qiu Yuan looked at the back view of Lin Jie fending off monsters on his own and snorted.

'No use trying to act gentlemanly now!' To a girl, the first impression was very important. That line of thought was relevant to her female roommate…

However, Lin Jie's skills did impress her. Accurately maintaining distance control, dealing weak-point damage in every three strikes and making use of blindspots to destroy Undeads were things that only a high-skilled expert could achieve!

With time, the chemistry between the two improved greatly. Lin Jie naturally did not have to say anything, as they had worked together many times in his previous life. However, Qiu Yuan thought that this feeling was peculiar - Lin Jie would execute everything that she had thought.

For a good two hours, the two of them had not talked at all.

Yet Lin Jie's steady way of luring monsters and superb skills eventually did impress Qiu Yuan, as her disgust completely vanished.

"Be careful!" At that moment Lin Jie screamed.

While reviving a corpse, Lin Jie surprisingly discovered a rotten handicapped corpse. Little did he expect that after dripping the Death Language Potion, the corpse would disintegrate due to being extremely decomposed. The Death Language Potion ended up touching a Warrior-class corpse! This was an Elite-level Undead!

The instant it was revived, the highly intelligent warrior locked on to the target with no melee battling abilities, Qiu Yuan, and charged forward!

The warrior's decomposed face got scarily close to Qiu Yuan's nose. Its rotten smell and hideous face scared the sh*t out of Qiu Yuan!

In the new age, dark creatures normally had a safe look. To become an expert, one had to keep training to become immune to the hideous looks of such Undeads! If someone was afraid of ghosts, they would find it very difficult to survive in this world.

Currently, Qiu Yuan's emotions were nowhere near as stable as they were in the previous life. When the Undead got close to her, she was already scared out of her wits!

At that moment, the Undead flew out with a whoosh!

Lin Jie held his longsword up high and did not care that he had only half of his Health Points left, as he pushed the hideous looking Undead Warrior away!

-29!

-21!

…

The Elite Warrior's damage was far weaker than that of the Rare Elite's, but was still rather high! Lin Jie had to keep repeatedly retreating, as his health was dropping dangerously low!

Qiu Yuan panicked and continuously cast the Dark Speech skill to cover the warrior's eyes. However, the 10% reduction in critical strike chance was of not much use, as Lin Jie was dealt a large amount of damage again and had only 10 health points left!

As death was near sight, Lin Jie gritted his teeth and poured the Death Language Potion all over the floor!

'Ding~'

'You have used the Death Language Potion and successfully converted the [The Wandering Corpse] into your servant.'

A desiccated skeleton stood up and got pushed by Lin Jie towards the Elite Warrior to soak up his damage! Lin Jie went all in and used the Death Language Potion's effect to successfully save himself!

Lin Jie started to use the servant as a shield, soaking up the damage, while he was on the offense attacking the Elite Warrior! Every time the Elite Warrior attacked, the damage was soaked up by the servant!

As time went by slowly, the health points of the Elite Warrior continuously dipped.

'Boom-'

The servant had been slashed into pieces, and Lin Jie's sword's breath had successfully penetrated the Elite Warrior's chest and killed it!

The Elite Warrior dropped five sets of [Bone Dust] and three sets of [Wretched Thoughts].

Lin Jie opened his bag and was elated. He had collected 30 sets of [Wretched Thoughts] for the mission!

The [Perfect Potion Mastery] was at hand!

"Hey… thanks."

Qiu Yuan patted Lin Jie's back as her words came off as soft as a mosquito's sound.

KIRIM HADIAH

Bab 8: The Slow Restoring Mana Potion

Editor: Atlas Studios

"Think nothing of it, we're teammates." Lin Jie smiled, and glanced at the [Wretched Thoughts] in his bag and asked, "How many more mission items do you need?"

Qiu Yuan read between the lines and understood it as a precursor to a teammate leaving the party. It was common knowledge between all players that the purpose of joining a party was to increase the effectiveness of killing monsters in Mission Mixed Monsters, and each would leave the team to embark on their own path after completing the mission.

"I am 16 items away." Qiu Yuan took a look and got ready to exit the group.

"Here's 12 for you, let's fight four more." Lin Jie retrieved the [Bone Dust] again and motioned for Qiu Yuan to keep it.

"I don't want it."

"Don't be wishy-washy, just take it if you wish to do the mission by yourself as you still have to search for runes; the random spawning of runes already takes up more than an hour." Lin Jie paused, and joked, "Moreover, there's no reason for me to leave the group having just met a pretty girl out in the wild while training. At least let us develop some degree of liking!"

Qiu Yuan giggled out loud and gave Lin Jie a look. "Do you think I'm an NPC? What degree of liking are you trying to develop?"

"It would have been so much more convenient if you were an NPC." Lin Jie laughed, and opened the trading column, placing the 12 [Bone Dust] atop.

"Thanks," Qiu Yuan said again, took out a Skill Book and placed it on the trading column, "This is for you, I don't like to owe anyone a favor."

Skill: [Rebel's Fight]

Casting Resource: Action, Anger

Skill Description: When you are attacked, hold your weapon across horizontally to enter Judgment. Successful judgment will annul the damage from the attack while causing an additional 5 damage points. When you own the skill and expand 5 anger points, your damage level increases by 5 additional points. Cooling time of 30 seconds.

Job restriction: Warrior

"This is great stuff! It would totally be disrespectful of me to reject it," Lin Jie said merrily and passed her the Skill Book: [Kiss of the Dark]. "Don't reject it. We will become more efficient at killing monsters after you've mastered it."

"Okay."

Each went on to learn the skill, and Lin Jie's skill column gained an additional small icon – [Rebel's Fight].

[Rebel's Fight] was an extremely challenging skill, it was invincible in the hands of the strong, and yet really it was also nothing special in the hands of an average. However, that sort of skill was highly valuable in the market and could easily fetch a selling price of at least 60 bronze coins. Damage-related skill books like this, including the [Kiss of the Dark], were valued possessions.

Using the Death Language Potion to create an Undead, Lin Jie struck his longsword forward, hitting 12 points of damage while attracting hatred to himself. And at that moment, the Undead raised its rotten hand to strike!

With a swift positioning of his sword horizontally, a crisp sound followed.

"Rebel's Fight!"

-22!

The damage from the skill was generated and the Undead's health level reduced by a small bar. Qiu Yuan enchanted the Undead with Dark Speech while amassing a shear-like beam in her right hand and sent it straight into the Undead's chest!

-21!

"Such strong damage!" Qiu Yuan was inwardly surprised, as this further emphasized the value of the Kiss of the Dark Skill Book. This was, after all, a Skill Book that spawned from an elite, and was definitely not something that the other basic skills sold by players in small villages could compare to.

And as for Lin Jie, she had finally let her guard down. After all, in these few hours spent together, Lin Jie emitted the vibe of a matured, highly-skilled, and someone not bothered by small matters. Coupled with their telepathic coordination, she could not help but feel like they had known each other before. What a peculiar feeling.

With their new skills, their speed of killing monsters doubled; following the death of one Undead, out generated the [Wretched Thoughts] and its [Bone Dust]. While Qiu Yuan was collecting the [Bone Dust], she suddenly said, "My name is Qiu Yuan."

"Hi, I am Fu Sheng." Lin Jie smiled. Revealing her name to him was proof that they were no longer strangers. But there is still quite a long time required to accumulate favorable impression before they could return to their friendship in the past.

"Fu Sheng, you are so capable, I bet you must have a group?"

"No, I like to travel alone."

"Eh? Why don't you just join our group then? After we reach level 3, we could go to the Cat Demon Lair together!" Qiu Yuan smiled, thinking that Big Sister would be happy to know that she had pulled in such a skilled person!

Lin Jie blocked the Undead's attack with Rebel's Fight, smoothly sending the sword straight into its skull and said, "I don't fancy joining groups as they're too restrictive. But if your team has vacancies, reserve one for me; I'd probably be making a trip down to Cat Demon Lair."

"Okay." While Qiu Yuan agreed, she felt a bit uncomfortable; it was a weird feeling that probably arose because of those infatuated stares she received all these years and how the guys in the group had been overly zealous towards her. And now, disappointment filled her having gotten rejected so bluntly.

Lin Jie, on the other hand, did not notice anything amiss; in his opinion, there were many chances for them to meet in the future. The pleasure he derived from Rebel's Fight was out of the world; having such skill so early in the game was thrilling! While it was a far cry from the diversified and adventurous battles in his past life, it was at the same time much comfortable than the cutthroat killing.

When the fourth Undead collapsed, Qiu Yuan's fiftieth [Bone Dust] from the mission was generated.

"Here." Lin Jie passed it to Qiu Yuan and smiled, "Mission accomplished!"

Qiu Yuan froze, why did his tone sound like he could not wait to leave? Qiu Yuan, who was consumed by her thoughts, suddenly came to her senses.

'What the hell? Why should I care so much about what he thinks?' Qiu Yuan, being her rational self again, smiled cooly, kept the [Bone Dust] and waved, "Well, then I'm going back."

"Okay. Remember to call me along when you are heading down to the dungeon, I'm waiting to scale to greater heights under your wings."

"Sure."

The two temporarily separated.

Lin Jie looked at his experience bar and figured he should be able to advance to level 3 shortly after completing the mission.

Once players reached level 3, the dungeons officially welcomed them. The dungeons were categorized into Simple, Ordinary, Normal, Difficult, Master and Expert, five different levels. Drop-rate of equipment in the dungeon was higher yet harder, and it severely tested the group's coordination. It was also when the disparity between guild players developed.

In level 3 dungeons, the most popular one had got to be the Cat Demon Lair, and there was something extremely important which Lin Jie had to acquire.

Focusing back to the present moment, Lin Jie walked towards Allaso, with the 30 sets of [Wretched Thoughts] in his hands.

"Have you found what I wanted?" Allaso, who was fiddling with a corpse, raised his head and asked.

"Yes, I found 30 of them." Lin Jie took out the [Wretched Thoughts].

"Very well, very well." Allaso put away the [Wretched Thoughts] and said merrily, "This is your reward."

'Ding~'

-'You have completed Potion Master Allaso's mission, 30% completion, you received 3125 experience points.'

-"Potion Master Allaso taught you Perfect Potion Mastery, you absorbed his teaching and proficiency level increased by 50.

'Perfect Potion Mastery!' Lin Jie suddenly recalled the [Undead's Hatred] that was generated from the Rare Elite, took it out and asked, "What use does the Undead's Hatred have?"

"This is a powerful cry from the Undead that can cast Dark Magic while providing the potion effect from 10 sets of [Wretched Thoughts]. Allaso said, "You can give it to me."

'Ding~'

-'You have completed Potion Master Allaso's mission, 40% completion, you received 800 experience points.'

-'You received Rune's Cape.'

Rune's Cape (Cape)

Can be used by Warriors and Paladins.

Requires: Level 3, Heavy Armor

Defense level: 5-8

Health Points: +20

Endurance: +1

Additional effect: Rune's energy, you sparked Rune Cape's energy, increasing your health level limit by 20, lasts for three minutes.

This mission's reward was too generous! And it looked like there was still follow-up. However, collecting [Wretched Thoughts] was simply too time-consuming. While Lin Jie was highly interested to see the mission's final reward, it would take up a few days just to accumulate the 100 sets of [Wretched Thoughts] required.

However, in the equipment store, there is an item called the [Holy Flame Torch], exclusive for players under level 5, its function was to kill an ordinary Undead below level 10 in seconds. The flip side was, players would not be able to gain any experience nor equipment, only mission items. This was an item only filthy rich players who were trying to complete missions would purchase.

A [Holy Flame Torch] cost five bronze coins, quite an expensive price tag.

But…

Lin Jie returned to Town of Meyer, set up a sign at the area where Fear Devils spawned, and acquired massive amounts of [Fear Devils' Spit] at one bronze coin per set. [Fear Devils' Spit] was the only thing that generated out of level 1 Fear Devils but NPCs did not keep such disgusting stuff, causing most players to casually throw it aside.

One bronze coin could be traded for a loaf of bread. Many players' eyes sparkled, and rapidly collected the [Fear Devils' Spit] from the floor and dumped it at Lin Jie. His bag was quickly filled.

"Dude, why would you want to keep this?" a player asked.

Lin Jie did not even answer, and simply set up automatic trading until his available coins were depleted. At that moment, the one silver coin from the Gradeless Treasure Box was significantly useful! In less than half an hour, his bag was filled with [Fear Devils' Spit] and emptied of his bronze coins.

"Hey, don't go! I've still some more here!"

"I've got four more sets."

Lin Jie hurriedly said, "Everyone, please wait. My bag is full. I will come back and collect in half an hour's time."

Passion from the people was overwhelming…

The [Fear Devils' Spit] had one extremely great use - potion creation! The failure rate of potion creation at proficiency level before 1000 points for ordinary Potion Mastery was as high as 50%, with a small probability of obtaining bad quality potion, causing the Potion Mastery to be a money-burning job at the early stages.

The pros of Perfect Potion Mastery were, it did not have the system's default failure rate correction. As long as one was skillful enough, the chances of successful potion creation were very high, with a small probability of obtaining high-quality potions even.

Now, what he needed to create was the specialty potion of the Potion King in his previous life, and that was the creator's ultimate get-rich item: the [Slow-Restoring Mana Potion]. Magic was the second life of Mages and Priest among other jobs and was also the tripping stone of their level advancement. At the current stage, nobody could afford to drink magic bottles or wait for the plain water to take effect and slowly restore magic; plus players had to step away from a battle with the latter method. Then, what was going to happen? That was how the Slow-Restoring Mana Potion came to be.

10 [Fear Devils' Spit] with one crystal bottle, two [Dissolving Potions] and one set of [Neutralizing Potion] could create a bottle of Slow-Restoring Mana Potion.

Lin Jie vividly remembered this potion had an incredibly huge market before level 10 when not many were proficient in Potion Mastery. With the monopoly of such potion, Potion King did not hold back from accumulating his wealth and was said to have earned tens of golden coins.

Now, this advantage had landed in Lin Jie's hands.

'Hehe…'

"First, add in the Dissolving Potion. Then add the Fear Devils' Spit…" Lin Jie mumbled on, as the Potion King did. Funny how that guy was his enemy but had now become his mentor.

Gently shaking, the potion turned from yellow to blue and eventually froze, like how pudding instantaneously diluted.

-'You have created the [Slow-Restoring Mana Potion], proficiency level of Perfect Potion Mastery +1.'

Slow-Restoring Mana Potion: You recover 2 points of magic level every second in the 10 minutes following the use of the potion. Subsequent usages will halve its effects, to a maximum of 200%.

In his previous life, Potion King was extremely greedy; he had sold one Slow-Restoring Mana Potion for 15 bronze coins. This caused many to be dissatisfied, and Lin Jie was one of them. He must be crazy, to be selling one potion at such an exorbitant price!

This time, however, Lin Jie was going to place the Slow-Restoring Mana Potion up for auction, with the starting base price at 15 bronze coins and 20 bronze coins as the final buy now price.

At the early stages when one did not have to spend much mana, a bottle of Slow-Restoring Mana Potion could let them endure 10 minutes of magic casting, highly increasing the efficiency of level advancement! Moreover, that was such an exclusive creation!

After creating a batch of potions, Lin Jie continued to purchase the [Fear Devils' Spit]. This item was only generated at Town of Meyer, a lot could be gathered at first, after which, would require players to kill monsters. When the second batch of potions appeared, the system notification alert rang continuously.

-'Your [Slow-Restoring Mana Potion] was auctioned at a price of 17 bronze coins.'

-'Your [Slow-Restoring Mana Potion] was auctioned at a price of 16 bronze coins.'

…

The coins in Lin Jie's bag increased at a tremendous rate and quickly turned into a silver color.

'Silver coins already!'

This was moreover, only just the beginning. Lin Jie had at least more than 200 potions in his bag that were not yet sold. Scarcity resulted in demand; he had only sold 20 bottles at any one shot.

Continuously placing 20 bottles of the potion up for auction, Lin Jie started to search for another item: low-level [Poison-Antidote Potion] and all its ingredients.

The dungeon, Castle Wood, would open when one reached level 5; it generated most jobs' armor and equipment, but all the monsters' attacks in Castle Wood were laced with poison, which could be accumulated. And hence, the demand for poison-antidote grew.

In his previous life, when Castle Wood had opened, the price of low-level [Poison-Antidote Potion] had rolled by ten-fold, and the value of Potioneers, who had learned the recipe for Poison-Antidote, rapidly rose with the tides.

'There are prescriptions?' Lin Jie couldn't help but smile, the prescription low-level Poison-Antidote Potions was of marginal value. The reason was simple; the proficiency level increased by very little, with a low probability of successful potion creation. A prescription cost only 15 bronze coins. Lin Jie swept up all 13 pieces of them.

At the same time, the Slow-Restoring Mana Potion was wiped out again; the Headhunters guild was patrolling in the auction house, in an attempt to find the person selling the potion.

Lin Jie placed another batch of potion for auction while ensuring all the low-level Poison-Antidote Potions and its relevant information disappeared from the auction house before he left satisfactorily.

He wanted to stockpile the potions! The inflation and decrease of item prices were not controlled by humans, but he could influence the prices to some extent.

In this life, the rebound price of low-level Poison-Antidote Potion could be much scarier.

'Ding~'

District Announcement: To the friend selling the Slow-Restoring Mana Potion, I, The Heavenly Shield from the Ironwall Empire, am sincerely inviting you to join our guild. I will give you the preferential treatment of that of a Vice Chairman, contact me if you are interested.

Lin Jie couldn't help but laugh, 'He used the bulletin board to invite people? This guy is quite the spender; he must be trying to gain some fame while riding on the coattail of this matter.'

'Joining the Ironwall Empire?' Lin Jie did not think even need to ponder over it. Their disbandment was almost predictable, but Lin Jie was interested in speeding up the process…

This time, the turnover rate of the potion had slowed by a lot, but Lin Jie was not anxious. He carried the silver coins in his bag and went to the general store, and bought five [Silver Hurler Guns], three [Capturing Traps], one [Shape-Transforming Scroll], and lastly reluctantly spent 60 bronze coins on an additional [Teleporting Scroll] - that thing could let a player instantaneously move a distance of 3m.

As for the potions in the auction house, Lin Jie couldn't help but smile. Could he not understand the players' thoughts well enough? The buyers were playing hard to get, in an attempt to get him to clear his stocks. If that were going to be the case, Lin Jie would simply recall all the remaining potions.

"Ahhhhh, I'm so frustrated." Qiu Yuan suddenly sent a message, sounding exasperated.

"What's wrong?"

"I wanted to purchase the Slow-Restoring Mana Potion, but my Elder Sister told me the seller was intentionally trying to raise the prices and made me wait a bit as the price would go down within five minutes. However, it was cleared off the racks by some others, and it even seemed like it was wiped out, ahhhh!!!"

Lin Jie laughed.

"How could you still laugh!?"

"I really want to pity you, but I will do it after I'm done laughing, hahaha…" Thinking of how the sexy and strategic lady got tricked and her resulting embarrassing situation, Lin Jie couldn't help but laugh before clearing his throat, "I bought quite a few, I'll send you some."

Qiu Yuan skeptically said, "Why would a Warrior like you purchase Slow-Restoring Mana Potions?"

Lie Jie earnestly and solemnly said, "I wanted to wait for that guy to finish selling so I would throw it out again in the market at the double price."

"Pui- Pui- Pui-! Evil traders, all of you are evil traders!" Qiu Yuan was scornful for quite a while before exuberantly saying, "Wouldn't I then make you suffer a deficit?"

"Yeah, such loss, I take back my words," Lin Jie teased.

"Hmph, no! Give me the potions, now!"

Imagining the adorable image of Qiu Yuan shaking her fist, Lin Jie couldn't help but smile and sent her 20 bottles of Slow-Restoring Mana Potion.

"I'm going to switch off messages, you might not be able to contact me from now on."

"What are you going to do?"

"Mission."

"Oh…"

Qiu Yuan did not press any further as she could hear the reluctance in Lin Jie's tone to share.

Lin Jie closed the chat message and walked towards the exit of Town of Meyer. Countless prosperous races appeared in the game; in history, with the platitude of wars in this continent, there were appearances of Ruler of the Elements, Period of the Giant Dragon and Devils Era amongst other periods. All those races were hiding in different corners of the continent. During the Period of the Cultured, there were natural disasters, and evil monsters also appeared. The places where the evil monsters appeared had the famous "Devils Fork", which split the continent into three.

Where the Devil's Flame burned, a mountain peak gradually solidified - Dark Summit. The weird thing was, neither monsters nor treasure boxes spawned there.

In his previous life, Lin Jie probably wouldn't have gone there if not for being dead sure there were accomplishment points he could achieve, and what happened after that would not have happened…
