“And now, to me, you’re also just a pile of T-R-A-S-H!”
When Lin Jie finished his sentence, a shred of reminiscence could not help but flash in his eyes. That time, the person who had received that sentence was himself, right?
Wei Lu was in a daze as she stood there, and her tears flowed non-stop as she sat on the ground dispirited. Her eyes were full of despair, and she whispered, “Yeah, now you have your own life, so, naturally, I should disappear. Lin Jie, do you know what will happen to me next? I owe Baili Xuanyuan hundreds of thousands of dollars! I will be tortured by him until death, but of course, these have nothing to do with you, hahaha…”
When Lin Jie was about to speak, Bu Yi said in surprise, “The reason?”
“I… Failed in doing business. That damn Potioneer, that damn Sky Provisions Shop, that damn Seven Ears!” Wei Lu cursed loudly as she was enraged, she hated them so much she wished she could drink their blood and eat their flesh. If it was not for the sudden change in the Middle-Grade Natural Recovery Potion’s price, she would have already achieved her dream of leading an extravagant life.
Bu Yi’s huge eyes, which were natural without makeup, blinked, as she mostly understood what had occurred. That was just a thick-skinned woman wanting her ex-boyfriend to repay her debt only.
As for the nonsensical sweet talk, not to mention Lin Jie, even she would not believe it!
Lin Jie closed his eyes and shook his head before saying, “Go, I will not help you. We were never in a relationship. Wei Lu, you were just using me from the beginning till the end, it has never changed. You should go. Bu Yi, I’ll send you back to school.”
As he was speaking, Lin Jie walked to Zheng Ziliang’s Rolls-Royce and scanned his face before opening the car door.
Wei Lu looked at that luxurious car in astonishment, and much regret filled her heart. If she had not rejected him back then, then the person sitting in that car now would have been her, right?
Bu Yi looked at Wei Lu, who was wailing on the ground, and helplessly shook her head. She said to Lin Jie, “Should we give her a ride?”
“No need.” Lin Jie started the engine and said coldly, “You should look at her eyes carefully.”
Bu Yi was shocked. She stared into Wei Lu’s eyes, and under her pale-yellow cosmetic contact lenses was actually madness and hatred! From the rearview mirror, one could see that Wei Lu’s hair was disheveled, and her expression was hideous. Her mouth was slightly open, it was as if she was cursing something.
“A person’s poor situation can always be attributed to one’s own fault.” It was after a long time that Bu Yi spoke these few words. She paused before continuing, “Lin Jie?”
“Yeah?” asked Lin Jie.
“My name is Li Ying,” whispered Bu Yi before putting on her ear phones and looking outside the window as if daydreaming.
Lin Jie smiled slightly. Then, he held the steering wheel and drove forward steadily.
They reached the school quickly. Jiang City Academy of Arts accepted dance, music, art students, and so on. Thus, the atmosphere of the school was quite open, and the closing time of the gates of the dorms was slightly later as compared to other universities.
Many girls were wandering around the main gate while wearing revealing clothes that exposed their naval together with miniskirts. They were flaunting around as there was a possibility that they would be discovered by star scouts. If that happened, they would be able to enter the entertainment circle from then on and become famous overnight.
In reality, pretending to be star scouts to pick up girls in the Academy of Arts was quite an effective method.
The instant that Rolls-Royce appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of many girls. There were even a few girls that gave each other a look, purposely moved closer but pretended to not care at all while thinking in their hearts, ‘My behavior is completely different from those materialistic girls, would I attract the attention of the car owner?’
The door gradually opened, and Bu Yi stepped out of the car. She waved towards the inside of the car, smiled, and then said, “Thank you so much, hurry and go back.”
“Alright, you should hurry and return to your dorm too.” Lin Jie smiled and sent her off with his eyes before driving back. What he did not notice was that the instant he closed the car doors, many eyes like those of the hungry wolves had fixated on him.
At the University of Arts and Sciences.
Lin Jie passed by the car park, he thought for a while, but he decided not to drive the car inside. Instead, he turned a corner and stopped at an internet cafe outside the school just in case he met Wei Lu again.
That woman, the further away from her, the better.
The owner of the internet cafe looked outside the door in a daze as Lin Jie walked out of that luxurious car. He took out his Identification Card and $100 from his pocket. “Owner, renting for the night, bring me a cup of instant noodles and add a ham sausage.”
“Oh-oh got it.” The owner opened his eyes wide as if in doubt. ‘Which rich second generation is so unconventional?’
Lin Jie also did not mind since that car wasn’t his. He just let them be envious! He was the friend of a tycoon.
The internet cafe was for those students who did not have the money to buy the devices or whose parents strictly forbade them to buy the devices. Compared to personal devices, the machines in the internet cafe were cruder, but the game effects were almost the same.
If one needed to be online for a long period of time, then buying a personal device would be more advisable. Otherwise, after tens of hours, one’s neck would definitely break.
Using just two minutes to finish the instant noodles and even gulping down the soup, Lin Jie put on his helmet and entered the game.
Ding~
Ding~
Ding~
The instant he entered the game, he received hundreds of messages.
Some were from Bu Yi, Qiu Yuan, and Netherblue… They were all comforting him by encouraging him not to lose confidence. However, amongst all the messages, there was one that was quite interesting as the sender was Silver Shield.
“I say you were so impressive when killing me back then, now you directly go offline just because a first clear was stolen? Coward! You’re really a coward! I am still here waiting for you to come at me, come come, come at me for the next dungeon clearing!”
Lin Jie laughed out loud. Sometimes, that guy could be quite cute. Besides Silver Shield, another one’s response was not what Lin Jie expected—Heaven Plume.
“Leader Lone Wolf, I heard that you went offline, there is no such need. I have investigated, and there was only a difference of one to two seconds. Also, it was because Eighteen Massacres obtained a special item that he could kill the Boss, I am still looking into the details regarding that item and will send the information to you when I find something.”
Every man worked for benefits; that was a consensus between guild leaders.
Managing a guild was the same as governing a country, seeking profit regardless of means, placing righteousness above family loyalty, and being two-faced… No matter what reaction Heaven Plume had, Lin Jie would not feel surprised, but Lin Jie was a little shocked to the fact that he still stood at his side.
“Heaven Plume…” Lin Jie frowned. The relationship of Steel Allies, Triumphant Midnight, and Hunter’s Guild with Brotherhood were quite good. It could be said that they supported and helped each other. Meanwhile, the attitudes of Dumb Fox and Ghost Eyes were quite ambiguous, they could be a friend or a foe.
Only Heaven Plume! His Angel Descent had been targeted by Lin Jie from the start, no matter if it fighting for the Guild Base or provoking and killing people, Angel Descent and Brotherhood should have been the two guilds that were sworn enemies.
Lin Jie was unable to make out Heaven Plume’s actions.
In his personal inventory, over ten pieces of equipment had been added. They were all the equipment dropped from killing the Lord of Vultures and Lei Zhika.
With teammates like this, what more could a man ask for?
Lin Jie pulled all the team members into the team and said sincerely, “Brothers, I’m so sorry, just now I had diarrhea…”
“If you’re fine, then that’s great.”
“I knew it, boss definitely would not be so weak, hahaha.”
Only Qiu Yuan whispered, “Diarrhea? It can’t be he went to a mixed gender toilet to do his business, right?”
“Little Yuan!” Bu Yi was so anxious that she stomped her foot.
“OK, OK, I’ll keep my mouth shut, keep my mouth shut. Haish, my Bu Yi has been stolen away from me…”
At that moment, Baili Changcheng just nicely came online and said with a depressed look on his face, “Brother, I especially went to search for you, but in the end, I couldn’t find you. As for the girl that I brought with me, she also disappeared, I’m depressed now.”
Lin Jie coughed dryly and asked, “Where are you now?”
“They informed me that you came online, so I quickly found an internet cafe. I think it was called something like… Instant Network Internet Cafe?”
“Cough, cough, let’s hurry and distribute the equipment!” Lin Jie hurriedly changed the topic and took out everything from the equipment list. He put on a straight face and said, “This time we did not obtain the first clear, so to such a situation, I only have one sentence to say: A mistake, will only be committed once! All the first clears in the future, we, Savage Blade, must get them all!”
That one sentence instantly fired everyone up!
Then, it was the distribution of loots!
Although they had not obtained the first clear, as a Boss that had disgusted the players for a total of one month, its drop rate was relatively awesome! Three Dark Gold fragments, one Dark Gold item, 16 Gold items, and a huge pile of other miscellaneous items such as treasure maps and potions.
[Blasphemer’s Necklace] (Dark Gold)
Requires: Level 30
Attack: 20-40
Strength: +60
Additional effect: Nature Resistance+30
Additional effect: Nature Absorption. When you receive nature damage, there is a 15% chance that you will absorb the damage and heal yourself.
Additional effect: Blasphemer Set (Dark Gold)
“The first item, Dark Gold necklace. Roll!” said Lin Jie as he smiled.
Dark Gold equipment was extremely rare, and that Blasphemer’s Necklace was even more so. Not only were its attributes purely for attacking, but it also had an absorption-type skill. In all of The New Age, those who could have such an ability would be those Bosses only.
Jobs like Bandits, Warriors, Hunters, and so on could equip that necklace.
“17!”
“28!”
“9!”
“65!”
“100!”
…
In the end, the Dark Gold necklace was obtained by Qiu Yuan with 100 points.
If such a scene was witnessed by other teams, they would most likely stare until their eyes dropped out. That was Dark Gold equipment, which team wouldn’t use all kinds of reasons to try and keep it to themselves? Such as comparing DPS, team contribution, dungeon expenditures…
Meanwhile, here, Roll decided everything, so no one had any complaints.
Immediately after, Qiu Yuan quietly stuffed that necklace into Bu Yi’s hands. She gave Bu Yi a look and then pushed her out.
“Hey, Lin Jie…” Bu Yi poked Lin Jie’s back and secretly handed the necklace into his hands. “Little Yuan says that this necklace is for you.”
Lin Jie widened his eyes and said in a righteous tone, “I don’t want it! Whoever rolls it owns it.”
Ding~
“I told you to take it then take it, how come you have so much to say!” said Qiu Yuan fiercely as she sent a voice message.
“Alright then, I’ll accept it.” Lin Jie was defeated by Bu Yi, and he took off the Wolf Soul Necklace on him before saying, “Then, give this to Qiu Yuan, this is a good item with +7, it is even embedded with gems and Enchanted Scroll. If we are just talking about its practicality, it won’t lose out to the Dark Gold necklace.”
In the end… Qiu Yuan just randomly stuffed that necklace into her backpack, and she left two words: Too ugly!
Lin Jie was bathed in tears.
After obtaining the Dark Gold necklace, Lin Jie did not join rolling the dice anymore. On the other hand, the three recipes that had been dropped by the Boss were handed to Lin Jie. Not only so, but Lei Zhika’s disgusting rotten flesh and rib cage were also all given to Lin Jie to strengthen Broken Blade.
—’You are about to leave the dungeon, dungeon rewards are being calculated.’
Ding~
—’Congratulations you have completed the Main Plot dungeon Epidemic Pond, you received 4,000,000 EXP points, 10 gold coins and 400 War of Light points.’
Swoosh!
—’Congratulations, you have leveled up to level 30! The Warrior mentor seems to be looking for you, go and take a look.’
