“This time, it’s my mistake!”
When Lin Jie bowed down his head, everyone was silent.
Yes, Lin Jie was in the wrong! Right from the start, he had already been wrong. He had set the time when the first clear had taken place in his previous life as the limit. Then, step by step, slowly and steadily, they had battled. That was his biggest mistake!
What one needed most was courage and the drive to push on when facing an unknown dungeon. However, since the details of the dungeon were completely etched into his brain, that sparked a change. Lin Jie had overly requested for steadiness, he had demanded the whole team to complete the Blasphemer Set and had made them farm at the same stage for a whole month… Those decisions had all been wrong.
Whereas the reason for his mistake was his foreknowledge of the future. He knew what would happen at certain timings as if it was a script that would not change in Lin Jie’s brain. What he did not think of was that even if it was a real script, there would also be times where the actors improvised, resulting in the change of the script, not to mention reality! Or even this world!
Lin Jie said in a low voice, “I… was too confident. I’m sorry, everyone.”
His body flashed, and Lin Jie went offline.
Zheng Ziliang frowned and said, “Jie’s not that fragile, what was that?”
“Leader values the first clear heavily, I know, but…” Mixed Breathless shook his head. “Maybe he was too upset about losing the success, which was so close at hand.”
Qiu Yuan waved her fist around and said, “That’s not possible! Just by looking at his action of diving into that zombie’s stomach, do you think such a small matter can defeat him?”
Thinking back at the scene where Lin Jie had just jumped into the zombie’s stomach while shouting, made shivers run down everyone’s back. That type of man made of iron would be dispirited just because of one failure? That was just impossible!
Baili Changcheng said, “Everyone, clear up the loot first. I originally planned to have a get-together, but we’ll temporarily push it back, I’ll go offline to find him.”
Bu Yi blinked and asked, “You know where he lives?”
“Of course I do, it’s University of Arts and Sciences. He has told me before.”
“Sigh-”
Lin Jie took off his helmet and gave out a long sigh. It was already 9 o’clock in the night and was the liveliest time of the university.
Couples were holding hands and hanging around the sports field as if it was a very romantic place. There was also quite the number of fatties panting heavily as they passed by the couples, leaving the foul smell of sweat that seemed to not disperse to achieve the effects of losing weight and taking revenge on the couples.
Meanwhile, more of them were relaxing as they played games in their dorms.
Lin Jie wore a casual outfit, with his head down and shoulders drooping, he dragged his feet as he wandered around the sports field.
After being reborn, most of his time was spent in the game, so it was rare that he had the time to leisurely take a walk outside.
“Dear, I plan to stay in school and become a teacher after I graduate.”
“Okay, I support you! After I graduate, I will go out there and make a living. You can be at ease and wait for me here, I will come back once I make a fortune.”
“Yes, yes…”
The sweet nothings between couples were filled with beautiful wishes, but it also always reminded the people all around that, “You are single.”
At that time, a girl patted Lin Jie on his shoulder.
She was wearing a light black dress, and her white and tender long legs were exposed to the outside bare. Her looming cleavage grabbed one’s attention, and her eyes that had make-up on were bright and watery, giving people a sense of mature beauty.
“Hey, handsome, this is sister’s phone number…” She a used seductive voice and said softly, “If you have any needs… remember to call me.”
After finishing her words, she left and disappeared in the crowd.
Lin Jie looked at the card in his hand, unsure of whether to laugh or cry. There was no shortage of such type of girls in university where they used their bodies and youth in exchange for a glorious life.
“Every person, all wants to have a wonderful life that is detached from the current one so they must pay a price, maybe sweat or maybe… their bodies,” murmured Lin Jie to himself as he was deep in thought and just conveniently threw that card onto the ground.
Lin Jie asked himself, he had also put in a lot of hard work and sweat to obtain his life now, right? Not mentioning others, easily staying online for a consecutive of tens of hours, that was not something that everyone could endure.
Thinking about games, Lin Jie was in low-spirits again. Epidemic Pond’s first clear was taken away by Kingdom of Glory, why? He remembered that at that last moment, the progress of Kingdom of Glory was far behind the Three Alliances, right? In other words, Kingdom of Glory had killed the Boss instantly at the last minute? Just what skill had ‘he’ grasped?
Since Eighteen Massacres had joined the Dark Shrine, he had become totally different from the one in Lin Jie’s previous life. It was to such an extent that Lin Jie could not even accurately ascertain his ability.
However, in the end, it was only the first clear of a dungeon! ‘I’ve lost one first clear, I’ll definitely not lose the second one!’
Lin Jie instantly decided.
The third Main Plot dungeon would be released when the first player leveled up one’s job. In other words, the third Main Plot dungeon would be released when the first player reached level 40. That dungeon had a crucial item that he must obtain no matter what!
Not only so, but he also still needed to increase his strength. The equipment on him was not bad, but the effects were too weak. The only Sub-Legendary equipment was a Silent Killer, which had a time limit to usage, so he had to raise the grade of Broken Blade…
Also, the blade in Eighteen Massacres’ hands was like a thorn, pierced into his flesh, resulting in him not being able to be at ease.
“I said I don’t know you!”
“Don’t follow me!”
Not far away, a girl wearing a pale-yellow short-sleeved T-shirt and denim shorts was enraged as she shouted at the two people beside her. That girl looked very sweet and beautiful. She had long shoulder-length hair and neat bangs together with light-colored clothes, which gave her a pure temperament. Her calf that was slightly exposed made that summer day even hotter.
However, that girl had obviously encountered something worrying.
She had rushed here from the Academy of Arts just to meet a pitiful guy that she thought would definitely have been hurt inside, but when she finally found this school, she had been stopped by two guys that had been blindly walking around at the sports field. They had been persistently asking her for her name and contact information, which had angered her.
Lin Jie took a closer look, and his heart thumped, it was actually Bu Yi!
What was she doing here? Was it possible that she was in the same school as him? When he noticed the two guys beside her, Lin Jie’s expression instantly darkened.
University guys flirting with girls, the most important three points were: courage, being detailed, and having thick skin.
Those two guys were the best example; they were pestering Bu Yi, but they did not do anything overboard, and they even kept the distance of over one step away. As long as Bu Yi was willing to soften and give them her contact number, they would immediately retreat. Then, subsequently, they would appear and help her afterward as freshmen had plenty of troublesome matters such as club activities, the registration of their chosen subjects so that they could break down her defensive line in her heart.
What they were doing was not wrong, but their mistake was that the girl they wanted to flirt with was the person Lin Jie liked! Although he did not know why Bu Yi would appear here, Lin Jie had already subconsciously believed in his heart that Bu Yi had come herself to find him as she was too worried and anxious that she could not stand it since she had seen him feeling dejected and going offline himself.
That must be what happened!
“Beauty, we have no malicious intents, just leave a contact number, what if there is something you need our help in the future?” said one of them as he smiled. He was holding his phone in his hand tightly as if he was ready to record the phone number down anytime.
“Yeah, yeah, there are many things to do in freshman year, if you do it by yourself, you would be utterly exhausted. Not to mention, even if we want to chase you, you also have to be able to take a liking to us, right? Haha…” said the other person frankly as he joked around.
The two of them echoed each other, their cooperation was not bad.
Bu Yi frowned. She silently took out a can of pepper spray as her hands were behind her. Yes, that was the pepper spray that Netherblue had used when she had met with Lin Jie and the others for the first time. Since Bu Yi wanted to go out, naturally, it was passed into her hands.
Bang-
The heads of the two guys suddenly hit something, so they raised their heads.
In front of them stood a student, who was dressed up weirdly – white shirt, baggy pants, flip-flops. He looked careless and casual, but that person’s eyes were extremely cold, as though those of tigers and leopards, ready to pounce on and swallow their prey in one mouth, seemingly very fierce and vicious.
“Friend, you…”
The two guys were about to speak, but Lin Jie coldly said this one word, “Scram!”
That was blatantly provoking them! Especially in front of a beauty, any men with guts would not be able to stand it! The guy on the left said in anger, “Do you know how to speak?”
“I said, scram, ” replied Lin Jie word by word.
“You really are looking for death…” That guy instantly burst with anger, he was about to speak but was stopped by the other person. That person sized up Lin Jie and finally remembered who Lin Jie was!
Lin Jie was one of the most famous people in that batch, when he had just entered school, he had a conflict with the student council president, Zhang Xiao, and during the period of military training there had even been rumors where he had spent only $200 to sleep with the campus belle, Zhang Yingfei. The few suitors that had been chased Zhang Yingfei had been furious but had not dared to speak out, they had not even had the guts to stand up to him!
Moreover, those gangsters, Sun Kai, and others, who had been throwing their weight about everywhere, had actually bowed and scraped to Lin Jie. Such a person was not someone that they could offend. If they angered him, not to mention other methods, even if he just let Sun Kai and the others harass them every day, they would not be able to take it.
“That person is not someone we can offend, he is…” murmured that student. The other person’s whole body shivered and broke out in cold sweat. Originally, they only had come out in the middle of the night to see if there were any beauties that were alone. They did not want to get into trouble by provoking someone like Lin Jie.
The two of them fled as rapidly as their feet would take them.
However, Bu Yi did not let her guard down, she was cautious as she retreated back by three steps, her finger was even placed at the tip of the pepper spray and was ready to spray it at any time. Then, she said in the distance, “Hi… Thank you.”
Lin Jie couldn’t help but smile and asked purposely, “Are you here to find someone?”
Bu Yi was slightly surprised. She nodded, but then she retreated by two steps.
“Who are you looking for? Maybe I know that person?” said Lin Jie as he joked. It was deep in the night, and Bu Yi was far away from Lin Jie, so she did not recognize him.
“There’s no need, I’ll go and find myself.” Bu Yi took out her phone and shook it, hinting that he should hurry and leave, the person she was searching for would be here right away. However, seeing that that guy had no intent to leave, she could only take a deep breath as if she made some decision and called the number that she had obtained from a certain good brother of Lin Jie.
Ding~
Lin Jie’s phone vibrated, he answered it with a smile on his face, “Hello?”
“Ah, it’s you!” Bu Yi opened her mouth in surprise and walked forward a few steps, confirming that it was Lin Jie. She said angrily, “You tricked me! But, thank you, guys from any school are all like this, so annoying.”
“Hahaha, They’re all the same. Why have you come?” Lin Jie patted Bu Yi on her shoulder. He pulled his hand back just as he touched her, signaling her to walk forward.
“Little Yuan, also Sister Netherblue, and I, were at the Academy of Art,s which is one stop away, they… Were worried something might have happened to you, but they did not wear clothes. Little Yuan also lost her bus card, so only I came. ” Bu Yi’s voice became softer and softer, anyone would also be able to hear that she was talking nonsense.
Lin Jie nodded and kept quiet.
The two of them walked in circles around the sports field, none of them talked or had any movements, totally different from the other couples that were hugging together.
Many people looked at Lin Jie in envy but then shook their heads. Their faces were written with a pitiful expression towards Lin Jie, which said, ‘That bast*rd has such a beautiful girlfriend, but he just doesn’t have any physical contact with her.’
Time passed, minutes by minutes, it had already reached the time of “curfew 10pm”, the rule set by normal universities, which was clearly stated. The students on the sports field became fewer and fewer, by the time Bu Yi came back to her senses, she had instantly realized. “Eh, where’s everyone else?”
“Cough, cough…” Lin Jie turned his eyeballs, and suddenly the plot of some cliche novel suddenly jumped into his mind. He coughed dryly and gathered his courage and said, “The dorms… have their closed doors, we can’t enter anymore. How about, we-we…”
