“You!” Baili Xuanyuan was agitated. He yelled, “Lone Wolf! As a leader of an organization, how could you be so despicable? One day, I will get my revenge with my Three Alliances! I will show no mercy the next time we meet!”
“Hahaha, you want to show no mercy next time? Who you think you are? What a joke. Since you just threatened me, there’s no way I’ll let you go. Bye!”
Lin Jie used Dragon’s Roar and his Broken Blade shot at Baili Xuanyuan ‘s neck.
Dragon’s Roar had a repelling effect. If used correctly, it could also pull the opponents towards the user! Baili Xuanyuan was a new character with meager stats. He was killed with the Dragon’s Roar, but his body still flew towards Lin Jie.
Ding~
—”You have killed a commoner, your evil score +10.”
“Hmph, that’s easy.” Lin Jie smiled and toyed the body around. A token dropped out from the corpse.
[Abyss Knight Job-Changing Token]: Item that allows the user to change their job to Abyss Knight. One could receive a Job-Changing Mission after use.
Job Description: The war between light and darkness gave birth to a terrifying abyss, where countless Demons, Undead, and Spirits live. The abyss is the root of all evil. Abyss Knight had the power to hunt them down and become stronger! After the Job-Change, you can teleport to a special map, [Abyss].
‘Wow, it’s a hidden job-changing item!’
Lin Jie was very surprised, and his body began to tremble with excitement. Even though Lin Jie had seen many rare materials and items after he was reborn, hidden job-related materials still thrilled him! Not only to him, but such items were also the dream of all players.
‘No wonder Baili Xuanyuan would rather listen to my bullsh*t than fight back. It’s all because of this token!’ Lin Jie laughed.
There were two reasons why Baili Xuanyuan had reset his account. One was that he could not stand the life of hiding everywhere he went and being unable to gain control. The other reason was because of this token! Hidden Jobs had a higher attribute-growth per level compared to other jobs. Normal Knights’ health points increased by 20 units per level. However, a Hidden Job’s could be increased by 25 or even 30! When Baili Xuanyuan’s level reached its past glory, he would be much stronger!
Baili Xuanyuan had never thought that Lin Jie, Brotherhood’s respected leader, would kill him in the city!
“Damn! He just killed someone in the city!”
“Lone Wolf is a gone case now. It is a crime to kill in the city. If he escapes, he will be a wanted man.”
“You don’t understand. A pro like him could have an easy life outside of the City of Light too. Just keep quiet.”
“Then why isn’t he running?”
The crowd started gossiping and speculating.
The Patrol Guard Paladin had arrived! Last time, Lin Jie had managed to escape using his authority, but this was his second offense, meaning he could not get away with it even though he was on good terms with Yatasha.
Lin Jie decided to flee.
Dragon Slayer Knight, who had accepted Lin Jie’s gift and turned his spear into a Gold weapon, shouted, “Guys! Those who wish to join the Brotherhood just help to clear the way! Block the Paladins and help Lone Wolf escape!”
The crowd burst into chatter!
Three-quarters of them moved, while the rest were sitting there looking at the show. They hoped Lin Jie would not manage to escape, dropping all his items after he died.
Lin Jie looked at Dragon Slayer Knight thankfully and said to Wantless, Fat Cattle, and Bu Yi, “You guys continue selling the items, I’m starting a fugitive life now. LOL.”
“Be careful.” Bu Yi was anxious about Lin Jie.
Fat Cattle waved his wand and said, “If you need help, I’ll be there.”
Wantless looked at the Paladins chasing Lin Jie and cast a Weightless Spell on him using his Arcane Imitation. “Just get lost quickly.”
“Okay! I’ll go first. Thank you, guys. Those who are helping me today are welcome to join the Brotherhood. I’ll thank you guys in the future! I promise!” shouted Lin Jie to the crowd.
Clink, clink, clink!
10 Holy Light shone upon Lin Jie!
10 Judgement Hammer fell on Lin Jie. If they hit him, Lin Jie would be dead!
“Holy Light Winged Armor!”
Lin Jie quickly opened his wings and ran towards the gate of the City of Light.
There was a bulky Paladin at the gate, blocking his path.
“This Paladin is the strongest among all the other NPCs. He has dozens of enhanced buffs, and even a Fire Mage like Fat Cattle cannot deal any damage to him. Lone Wolf is trapped.”
“Look! Those paladins on pursuit slowed down too! They are confident in him!”
This NPC was one of the leaders of the patrol team. He was specialized in defense and had incredible Defense stats. He had gotten a Holy Armor from an ancient relic by chance 10 years ago. It could increase his buff effect by 50%, and each buff increased his Defense by 200.
“Ready for your trial, you sinful criminal!” shouted the Paladin and buffed himself. His armor was glittering with Holy Light buffs, and Lin Jie could definitely not land a hit even if he gave his best shot. Furthermore, the buffs granted the Paladin immunity to control effects such as ‘Stun’.
Lin Jie used Hunter’s Forward Charge and sped forward!
Bang!
“Get lost!” Lin Jie hit the chest of the Paladin with his palm, and his armor began to shatter! To everyone’s disbelief, the Paladin’s armor shattered, and all the buffs were negated! The Paladin was then sent flying by the impact!
One hit and the invincible Paladin had been sent flying!
Of course, Lin Jie had not pulled that off by relying on his strength. It was a skill of his—Armor Removal. The reason why this NPC Paladin enjoyed such high Defense was due to his armor. As long Lin Jie could get rid of that first, the Paladin would lose most of his Defense and buffs. With the strength of his Broken Blade, it was not that hard!
“See you around!”
Lin Jie spoke and dashed out of the City of Light.
…
“Lone Wolf recruiting people! Is the Brotherhood trying to found a guild?”
“Unbelievable! Lone Wolf soloed 3 Bandits and the strongest Protection Paladin!”
“Baili Xuanyuan and the Three Alliances VS Lone Wolf and Brotherhood! Who will be the final winner?”
The forum was filled with topics on Lin Jie and Brotherhood.
It must be mentioned that Lin Jie was famous now! He had given out materials and equipment to people, and openly showed how rich he was!
People were amazed by how he had killed the three Bandits without using a single skill. His precision in control, judgment, and attack was incredible.
The most amazing part was when he had blown the NPC away! It was just awesome!
Videos on Lin Jie fighting were extremely rare as he was very low-profile. People from the Brotherhood had even doubted if their leader had been a poser without skill before. With all the evidence now, Lin Jie was at least the top 10 in the entire game!
The name of the Brotherhood carried much more weight now.
It was an organization born to soar with such a strong leader!
Just because of Lin Jie’s impartiality and wealth—he had gifted countless items and strengthened his reputation with materials—he had attracted a large number of experts! Not to mention Dragon Slayer Knight, Sardine, and others. Those people were powerful players. In this life, with Lin Jie’s guidance, they could avoid the mistakes of the previous life and become even stronger.
‘Although a lot of equipment, materials, and potions have been spent this time, we are not at a disadvantage.’ After sorting out the whole story, Lin Jie thought, ‘If all the loots were sold, I could get thousands of gold coins or even tens of thousands. After all, they are all high-grade ones, and there’s even a Bloodied Bone Spear. It’s not a problem to sell at 1,000 gold coins when the local tyrants bid. However, no gold could amount to this token!’
Lin Jie took out a black token, which depicted the image of a terrifying abyss devil.
It was the [Abyss Knight Job-Changing Token]!
Lin Jie had no interest in the hidden job because he felt that his Broken Blade was only connected to Berserkers. Since he was only familiar with Berserkers’ abilities, it would not be a wise move to change his job.
‘But I have a good idea. The first competition, huh? Hey, hey, hey…’ A plan was already brewing in Lin Jie’s mind.
