Hearing the system announcement, Lin Jie’s mouth curved up into a smile.
“Lone Wolf, I’ve given you the outcome you wanted. I’ll end the video.” Eighteen Massacres frowned. There was a strange feeling in him. Seeing Character Z’s angry appearance, he felt depressed.
‘Why is it that Lone Wolf won once again?’
‘Forget it, I can only get back the army rights from Baili Xuanyuan by decreasing Twilight Transmigration’s worth. Now, whether it’s the Three Alliances, Twilight Transmigration, or the Brotherhood, they all cannot be trusted! I’ll have to rise up with my own power,’ thought Eighteen Massacres. He then terminated the video call.
Lin Jie quickly stopped Eighteen Massacres and requested for him to continue the video call. He focused all his attention on Character Z’s performance. This person formed a dent in the ground with his punch. He was breathing heavily, like a bull, and his face was flushed red with anger! But, after one minute, his face slowly calmed down.
“The Boss’ symbiosis will definitely decrease over time. We’ll leave the dungeon first. Cigarette Butt will come in and check every 10 minutes. Once the Boss’ symbiosis is gone, notify us immediately.
“Eighteen Massacres give me all the information you have. I’ll think of a way. Twilight Transmigration’s second elite team, stop all progress in the dungeon. Go out and farm the missions in town. Gather all the background stories and information of all these bosses to me.
“As for the rest, go back to the city and repair your equipment. Get a drink or some women to relax with. Adjust the state of your mind. I’ll take a trip to the Tiger Arena. See you later.”
After his series of commands, Character Z took one last look at the Boss with a hundred over stacks of buffs before turning and leaving.
Lin Jie was shocked. ‘His state of mind is actually so strong? It’s no wonder he’s the leader of Twilight Transmigration. With such a mental state, he’s definitely an elite! Unfortunately, you had to collaborate with Baili Xuanyuan. I have no other choice.’
The video call ended.
Lin Jie laid down on the ground to rest. You could rest to get rid of exhaustion in the game as well, but it was just not as comfortable.
The players of Twilight Transmigration all went to rest. With Character Z’s treat, everyone was able to drink freely until dawn and take a break. Meanwhile, Chaos In The Sky went to the Red Light District in the City of Light and got himself some women to play with.
Character Z returned to the City of Light and paid 1 gold coin to enter the Tiger Arena. The Tiger Arena was where people competed in different stages to earn rewards. They could enter by paying 50 silver coins and would have to face all sorts of different Bosses. After clearing each stage, they would be able to get a certain amount of gold coins, experience points, and arena points. They would also be able to get a title as a reward after clearing 10 stages. The first person in The New Age to clear 100 stages in the Tiger Arena would even obtain a New Age Accomplishment Point.
Character Z was not there for the rewards, but for peace of mind! Swordsmanship was about moving forward with a clear mind. Now that Character Z had run into annoying troubles, he had to vent his frustrations to calm down.
“Wing Spirit…” Character Z raised his blade and struck. In that instant, three whirlwinds appeared beside him!
That was right, three whole whirlwinds!
………
“Lin Jie, Lin Jie…”
A light whisper sounded by his ears, and a gentle hand caressed his neck. The weird feeling awoke Lin Jie, but his eyes remained closed.
According to those crappy drama plots, was this girl trying to take advantage of him while he was asleep? Thinking about it, he was slightly embarrassed. ‘Hehe.’ Lin Jie had the integrity of a youthful man. He decided not to disturb this girl and continued to lie there with his eyes closed.
The small hand slowly traveled up to his face. Its soft and smooth skin ran past his lips… and pinched his nose tightly.
“F*ck…” Lin Jie sat up immediately. He then realized Bu Yi was looking at him with puppy eyes and saying carefully, “Sor… Sorry. Did I hurt you?”
“No… It’s nothing.” Lin Jie rubbed his red nose. He then asked, “Why are you back online this early?”
Bu Yi stuck out her tongue and said sheepishly, “I can’t sleep.” She had wanted to play a prank on him, to hold his nose and wake him up so he would go and rest offline. Who knew the moment her hand came into contact with his skin, his mouth twitched and almost kissed her. It got Bu Yi all worked up and pinched him with all her might.
There was a special setting in The New Age. When players were not in battle, a male player’s senses would increase by a few folds whenever a female player touched their sensitive parts, like the nose and ears. According to the news that was passed around, this was specially created for certain aspects. Hehehe, that’s all for now.
Lin Jie understood and brought up the user interface. He clicked on “Restore Character’s Appearance,” and his swollen red nose returned to normal.
“A girl has to sleep more. Otherwise, you may get dark spots and become old quicker. By then, nobody would want you.” Lin Jie raised his eyebrows and smiled. He took out a few pieces of roasted meat and handed them to Bu Yi. “Are you hungry? Here, eat some.”
Bu Yi was stunned. She said in annoyance, “So what if I become old faster? Anyways, I’m an artist. I’ll just draw up a portrait on my face for blind dates. Also, food in the game won’t actually fill your stomach. If you are hungry, go offline and eat instant noodles or something.”
“You want to go to blind dates like this? You might as well date me. My young body is weak and delicate. One bowl of instant noodles would be sufficient. I’m easy to take care of and very gentle. I’m worth having.” Lin Jie joked.
“Nonsense.” Bu Yi pushed the roasted meat back to him and took out a bottle of aloe vera sake. She sipped on it as she said, “Roast meat will make you fat, it’s unhealthy.”
Lin Jie was rendered speechless. Women were just like that. Even if they knew that the meat in the game was harmless, they still refused to eat for fear that it would ruin their body figure.
“Little Sis Bu Yi, is there anyone wooing you in real life?”
“Yes, there are many.” Bu Yi looked at him jokingly and smiled. “There was once a man who ran into my bedroom and said that he would like to talk about art and life with me.”
Lin Jie was anxious. “Then?”
“Then?” Bu Yi drank up the little bits of aloe vera before continuing. “Then I said that I’m a geek. Unless his level is higher than mine in the game, don’t even bother wooing me.”
Lin Jie laughed. Bu Yi was Level 40 now. Among all the Priests, she was definitely the cream of the crop. Unless the said man was like Wantless or Domestic Fat Cattle, he would have to find a good place to farm his level in order to overtake her.
Bu Yi tilted her head and smiled. “What?”
“Little Sis Bu Yi, I won’t hide it from you. In fact, yours truly is number one on the Rankings Board.” Lin Jie rubbed his hands and raised his eyebrows. He gave a dirty look and said as a matter of factly, “My level is higher than yours, how about I woo you?”
“Hehe… isn’t Fat Cattle the number one now?”
“That is not a problem. I’ll go and kill him a few dozen times.”
Bu Yi: “…”
“F*ck, Boss, aren’t you too disloyal? Brothers are like hands and feet while women are like clothes!” Domestic Fat Cattle coincidentally came online right at the moment his boss was talking about killing him. He shivered and said weakly, “We only have one life. We can go without clothes but not without hands and feet!”
Lin Jie said plainly, “Brothers are like hands and feet of a centipede while women are like winter clothes.”
“Haha…” Bu Yi giggled. “Okay, okay, stop talking rubbish. Everyone is just joking. Fat Cattle, why are you online this early?”
Fat Cattle glared and said, “Damn, I dreamt about military training. The moment that bastard commander shouted “Turn left!”, I fell off the upper bunk bed. I no longer felt like sleeping and came back online.”
“You sleep on the upper bunk bed with a body like yours?” asked Lin Jie, puzzled.
“Is the floor okay?” asked Bu Yi.
“Hey, hey, hey, you guys are focusing on the wrong thing! I almost broke my bones.” Fat Cattle wailed.
Wantless appeared quietly behind him, and coldly said, “You have bones?”
Fat Cattle could not stand the insults and covered his face as he sobbed. He then went to the corner to draw circles.
“Hah, Wantless is awake too?” Lin Jie laughed.
“Yeap. Oh right, Lone Wolf, I have something to talk to you about.” Wantless said seriously, “Once this dungeon is over, I will be leaving the team. I promised you that I’d help you clear a map only but strangely ended up in a dungeon. It’s not my style. Also, there’s too much pressure in a dungeon, it doesn’t suit me. I prefer to level up freely and explore maps.”
Lin Jie nodded. “Okay.”
Wantless was stunned. “Okay?” He was very shocked.
‘I’m still the top Ophadi, the ultimate artillery. You are actually letting me go so easily? That’s not right! You should be begging me to stay while I insist on leaving. We would then say our farewells over some drinks. Afterward, I’ll appear during your times of need to save you. Why is the script going off course at the start already?’
Lin Jie naturally agreed for Wantless to leave the team since he knew that he never had the intention to join Savage Blade. In his previous life, Wantless had been the famous Ophadi—a map explorer, dungeon strategist, and the iconic solo player. It was difficult for him to stay in a permanent team like this. It would limit his growth. On top of that… if there was ever a time when they needed him again, wouldn’t he appear when called as usual?
Lin Jie patted his shoulder and said earnestly, “If you meet any problems, feel free to call us.”
“Yes.” Wantless took in a deep breath. He turned to Fat Cattle and said, “I’ll take the number one spot on the Rankings Board once again.”
“Tsk, take it if you can. Don’t talk bullshit if you can’t.” Fat Cattle scoffed as he tossed out the Tri-Elemental Wand. “I have no use for this wand, take it. Only your Arcane Imitation can perfectly unleash the strength of the Tri-Elemental Wand.”
Lin Jie was shocked at this sight.
The Tri-Elemental Wand was a Sub-Legendary Fragment. After adding precious and perfect materials to it, it could even advance to Legendary! Even Lin Jie would not bear to give away an item of this grade. At that moment, he was impressed by this fatso.
There was an understanding between the two Mages.
Lin Jie smiled. He could not help but think of Baili Changcheng that fellow. He took in a deep breath, which turned into a heavy sigh.
