Chapter 467: Job-Changing Token That Cost 1 Silver Coin
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Codename Lone Wolf is here!”
“F*ck, a Hidden Job Abyss Knight Job-Changing Token! This is not an ordinary hidden job. It’s a super-rare and powerful one that’s on the same level as the Red Lotus Knight!”
“I’ve heard that players with Abyss Knight jobs can enter the special map [Abyss] to catch powerful Undead and Devils! Starting price of 1 copper? I’ll give 10 gold coins, 10 gold coins!”
All the players went wild. As the saying went, “A tossed stone raises a thousand ripples!”
Lin Jie was floating in the air, and he slowly descended. The surge of Blade Aura in his palms provided him the power to float along with his Feather Drop and Holy Light Winged Armor.
Lin Jie raised his eyebrows as he looked at the normal player who bidded like a maniac. He said bluntly, “Starting bid at 1 copper coin and maximum price at 1 silver coin. For those who made a higher offer, were you unable to understand me because you haven’t heard my voice in a long time?”
Baili Xuanyuan stood on the Dominating Icicle seething with rage. Out of anger, hundreds of Red Lotuses were formed from his Half Moon Red Lotus Blade and headed towards Lin Jie! He was planning to knock him down while he was still floating in the air.
“Hmph!” Lin Jie scoffed. He slashed out with Broken Blade, and Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner formed a sharp blade immediately. Slicing sounds could be heard as he destroyed the Needfire Red Lotuses one after another!
Looking at the hundred red lotuses, excitement filled Lin Jie. He placed Baili Changcheng in the best position for him to watch his battle. He then turned and rushed towards the incoming Needfire Red Lotuses. His Broken Blade danced in the air as he released his Combo Attack instantly!
Poof! Poof!
Before the Needfire Red Lotuses had the chance to explode, they were sliced by Lin Jie into explosive Red Lotus energy! Lin Jie opened his mouth, and swirls of air current appeared inside, sucking in all of the explosive Red Lotus energy like a black hole.
Lin Jie tilted and burped. Then he scoffed. “You did not progress at all even after so long. These red lotuses were not enough to fill me, why don’t you give me more?”
Baili Xuanyuan stared at Lin Jie in shock. ‘Oh God, that fellow actually… ate my skills?’
Yes, he had eaten them!
It had taken Lin Jie 29 hours to slowly kill the Legendary Boss Munjo Ogre Prince Rocca using ways that normal players would never think of. He then attained the remaining items in the Munjo Treasure Room—over 300 Munjo Skill Books, 200 Gold items, and a large amount of leather, materials, and flesh.
After gaining Wind Rider Sword Saint’s training handbook, he could finally “comprehend” the Berserker’s 100 Consecutive Strikes fully. He had even gained two essential items— Munjo Crown and the Munjo Ogres’ race skill [Devour]!
[Devour]: Active skill. When used, skills and attacks with damage that are lower than 30% of your own attack will be devoured by you and restore health equal to the amount you have swallowed. The skill lasts for 1 second, and every skill or attack you successfully swallow will increase the skill duration by 0.2 seconds. Cooldown time of 15 minutes.
With Lin Jie using Heart of Enrage and Blood Power, his Attack was around 2,500! In other words, any skills that dealt around 750 points of damage or lower would be devoured by him!
Baili Xuanyuan was unable to use the Needfire Red Lotus’ strengthened version with just 1 week’s worth of Ability Points. As such, his damage output had dropped from 350% to 100%. With Lin Jie’s Defense, how much damage could he even deal?
This was the greatest weakness of a Red Lotus Knight!
Under normal circumstances, Devour was a skill that could grant immunity for 1 second every 15 minutes. But in this situation, Devour’s strength Devour was limitless! Baili Xuanyuan would summon hundreds of Red Lotuses at a time. Once Lin Jie devoured them, he could even lengthen the duration of the skill.
“Is this fellow… a monster?” Baili Xuanyuan went pale with shock. Without a large number of Ability Points to use, his skills were of no threat. However, in his moment of rage, he did not think too much. He exhausted all of his Ability Points and summoned 300 Needfire Red Lotuses to attack Lin Jie!
“Look, look, it’s Baili Xuanyuan’s ultimate attack!”
“This Needfire Red Lotus had forced Lone Wolf to retreat and killed thousands of players previously. Lone Wolf is doomed!”
“No, no, look… F*ck!”
Just as the 300 Needfire Red Lotuses approached Lin Jie and exploded, all of the explosive Red Lotus energy was absorbed into his mouth and devoured by him!
Looking at these Needfire Red Lotuses, Lin Jie laughed. Not only were they of no threat to him, they even extended the duration of his Devour skill. He exclaimed, “Okay, today is Guild Leader Xuanyuan’s auction, so let’s not be a wet blanket. Hurry bid, you are not showing Guild Leader Xuanyuan respect if the first item is not sold at a great price.”
The normal players were stunned. They then continued to bid. However, how could the price of a Hidden Job Abyss Knight Job-Changing Token be so low? Lone Wolf had said the starting bid was 1 copper coin, and the maximum price was 1 silver coin. Only an idiot would take him for his word! The bunch of people started to make offers, hoping that Lone Wolf would sell the token to them at a lower price.
“1,000 gold coins!”
“1,500 gold coins!”
The price continued to increase. Who wouldn’t be interested in a hidden job? Everyone was bidding with their entire assets. What if an offer made Lone Wolf happy, and he decided to sell it?
“I… I’ll give 1 silver coin.”
Just then, a weak voice sounded. This player was an extremely young Paladin, who looked like a student. He was just at Level 15 and was holding the 10-gold-coin red packet that Bali Xuanyuan had gifted them.
“Hahaha, are you stupid?”
“1 silver coin? You really bidded 1 silver coin? You are even still holding an item given by Lone Wolf’s enemy in your hands!”
“Idiot, get lost. Leader Lone Wolf, I’m a member of Brotherhood. I’ll always support you!”
The crowd began to mock and scorn as if that fellow had made a terrible mistake.
Lin Jie stretched out his right hand and used Death Grip to lift the young man immediately. He placed him on top of the Dominating Icicle and said, “As I’ve said before, the starting bid is at 1 copper coin, and the maximum price is 1 silver coin. This brother here has offered the highest price. The Abyss Knight Job-Changing Token shall go to him! Little buddy, take out 1 silver coin, and let’s trade!”
“Huh? Huh?” That player took out 1 silver coin in fear and exchanged it with the Abyss Knight Job-Changing Token in Lin Jie’s hand. He was then sent back by Lin Jie. When he was back on the ground, he gave himself a strong pinch, unable to believe that this was reality.
An Abyss Job-Changing Token was sold for 1 silver coin!
Everyone was flabbergasted.
Lin Jie stood at the top of the Dominating Icicle and glanced over coldly at the eyes below him that were full of desire. He then turned to Baili Xuanyuan and scoffed. “Guild Leader Xuanyuan, isn’t the Abyss Job-Changing Token a great start for your auction? You don’t have to thank me. You can continue with your auction, I’ll stay here and watch. Who knows, I may want to buy something.”
Codename Lone Wolf, who once represented the most powerful man in The New Age, blatantly created a seat on the Dominating Icicle and sat down with his legs crossed.
“Darn it…” The veins on Baili Xuanyuan’s luxurious and elegant face were pulsing. He always took care of his appearance and could maintain his image no matter when. But today, he could not hold his anger back. It was clear just how furious he was!
However, Baili Xuanyuan was still a veteran businessman. He understood what was the most important thing now. He took in a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He should not fight with Codename Lone Wolf but settle the auction that he had planned to display his power and announce his alliance with the other guilds. Then he would hold himself back until he had accumulated enough Ability Points to instakill Lone Wolf. This would be the right way.
At that moment, a few eyes among the crowd were sparkling.
One of them was wearing a dazzling flame heavy armor, with a Gold Holy Light Crown sitting on his golden hair. This man was the guild leader of Sunshine City’s Never Setting Sun, Scorching Sun.
Another one was dressed in a dark robe, with pale skin and sharp fangs. This person’s job was the Hidden Job: Vampire. He was the guild leader of Vampire City from the City of Evening Mist, Dark Earl.
The last person was a bald Knight, smiling with his eyes squinted. He had a blessed body, just like Maitreya Buddha. This was the guild leader of Knight’s Glory. Very Fat.
The trio looked at the new situation in front of them, and their originally calm eyes showed hints of excitement, especially Very Fat from Knight’s Glory. He spent extra efforts to open up his eyes, smiled, and said, “It’s finally getting interesting. Xuanyuan, that fellow, took control over businesses and decision rights to get us into an alliance with him. I was forced to agree, but… actually, I had my eyes on the Brotherhood.”
“This new type of organization is different from a guild. If we can make good use of it, we can develop into an affiliated organization with collaboration. Fat Pig, you don’t have to be so pretentious. Who doesn’t know what you are actually scheming?” Scorching Sun looked at Very Fat unhappily.
“Hehehe… seems like you all have your eyes set on the Brotherhood. I’ll join in then.” Dark Earl laughed. He added, “But, we should still stand at Xuanyuan Alliance’s side for now. Let’s see how powerful Codename Lone Wolf is. I think the best way for collaboration is to first fight, then cooperate… Hehehe…”
Baili Xuanyuan noticed that the three sly old foxes were actually strange. He turned his gaze and made a prompt decision. He held up [Extreme Cold] and smiled. “Thank you, Brother Lone Wolf, for giving me a good start. Since that’s the case, this equipment cannot be the first item anymore. However, it wasn’t the most suitable to be first anyways. We’ll just auction it like this! Everyone, the starting bid of the Dark Gold longsword Extreme Cold will be 100 gold coins. Make your offers!”
“Hmm, this sword is pretty good. Why don’t we do this, I’ll give you 1 copper coin. Sell it to me.” Lin Jie spoke up. He looked down at Baili Xuanyuan from above and smiled. “After all, this is the weapon of my brother. If you don’t give it to me, I’ll kill you to get it. You don’t have enough Ability Points to activate your skills now, right? You don’t even have the strength to fight back, there’s no point in killing you. Wouldn’t it be great if we do each other a favor?”
Blackmail!
Lin Jie was blatantly blackmailing him! Either you give me the equipment, or you die!
The distance between the Dominating Icicle and the ground was over hundreds of yards. Baili Xuanyuan had made use of many tools in order to get up there. If Lin Jie were to attack and kill Baili Xuanyuan, nobody would be able to save him in time! Dying under the gaze of so many people, what would be left of his dignity?
“Brother Lone Wolf must be kidding. I’ll give this to you as a greeting gift.” Baili Xuanyuan smiled. He was able to continue smiling, even in this situation. Even Lin Jie could not help but admire his endurance and… hypocrisy.
Lin Jie took over Baili Changcheng’s Extreme Cold and took out a copper coin. He smiled and said, “Thank you.”
Looking at the copper coin, Baili Xuanyuan smiled dryly and said, “This… Forget about it. We aren’t people who should be bothered with such small things. Why be so calculative?”
Slam—
The moment the words left his mouth, Lin Jie’s expression immediately turned ferocious as if he wanted to devour a person. He slapped Baili Xuanyuan’s face and roared, “You are not accepting the money I gave you. Are you looking down on me?”
“I…” Baili Xuanyuan was dumbfounded. In the next second, without giving him time to protest, Lin Jie used Blood Vigor and decapitated Baili Xuanyuan in one swift hit!
-5,736! (Critical Hit)
Instakill!
