It took Lin Jie a long time to turn his attention back to Galru’s body.
It was a common consensus of all players that the first clear of a boss in a dungeon would drop many items. Drops from Galru was nothing less.
Meteor Sword (Gold), designed for thieves. It had tearing effect, making it the best equipment for Bandits who were after blooding effect. Once that was put on the auction house, those Bandits would absolutely fight for it! It was estimated to be a great source of income!
Galru’s Rune robe (Gold), designed for Shadow Priests. It had acceptable attributes but came with a transformational skill: There was a 0.1% chance of converting each killed person into a Werewolf Servant, which was equivalent to a level 10 elite.
‘This is quite suitable for Qiu Yuan. I wonder if she will like the appearance of this robe.’
Lin Jie continued to search under Galru’s body for a while, and he found a torn treasure map.
This treasure map was full of dense symbols, just like a mad scientist recording his research results that were hard to comprehend. Lin Jie stuffed the treasure map into his backpack as he could not understand it.
Lin Jie stood up satisfactorily. Two pieces of gold equipment plus a treasure map of unknown use, and a Magic Book of Galru, which recorded the skills of two warlocks. The effect was stronger than the skills acquired through skill books. At the same time, it recorded the experience of the warlocks’ skills research, which gave some skill proficiency upon in-depth study. The loots were worth the first clear of a boss of ordinary difficulty.
Then, he patted Timmy’s buff back and said softly, “Eat it.”
“ARH-WOOO! ARH-WOOO!” Timmy tore Galru’s body in a frenzy, and his mouth was full of blood. That scene was considered as a hidden plot and had no effect on mission reward and completion.
When Timmy finished eating the terrible arcane mage, his body gradually shrank, collapsed and fell down slowly. Timmy’s body gradually returned to the size of a human. He used his last strength and crawled toward his wife’s position.
Lin Jie sighed with emotion in his heart. “What we know about true love in this world is the life to a life promise only!” He could not help thinking of that gentle face.
With a shush, Linjie went up and hugged him. He carried him in front of his lover and put him down gently.
“Thank you.” Timmy smiled, his eyes rested on his lover’s face, gradually losing focus.
“Ding~”
–‘You have completed Timmy’s Revenge mission, you received 75,000 EXP, 15 silver coins. You gained the bonus item, Ring of Stealth.’
Ring of Stealth (Gold)
No job restriction
Requires: Level 3
All Attributes +1
Additional effect: When you leave combat for 10 seconds, you enter a state of stealth. The next hit deals an additional 15% damage.
Note: Repress the desire in your heart -Timmy.
‘Good stuff! All attributes + 1!’ Lin Jie equipped the ring immediately. The design of the ring was very simple, it was just like straw. That was Timmy’s engagement ring.
Looking at Timmy and his wife, Lin Jie felt a little guilty. He thought for a moment, leaned over and picked up their bodies and went to the place where Timmy was found. May they rest in peace after they were buried together.
“Although you are just a string of data, I still want to apologize to you,” whispered Lin Jie as he used the Broken Blade to dig up the soil and put the bodies in it. According to the plot of in his previous life, Galru’s body would not be eaten by the mad Timmy so Timmy would not die, and the couple could even get a perfect ending.
Burying an NPC was a laughable and laborious thing. After all, the environment in the game could not be destroyed at will.
Lin Jie did it anyway.
Suddenly, the Broken Blade seemed to touch something hard, and there was a crisp noise.
Lin Jie was shocked and dug deep into it. It was a dark gold book, Timmy’s Laboratory Diary, which recorded all kinds of experimental results Timmy had done in order to relieve the curse of werewolves. But Timmy had still failed to produce a curse-relieving drug after his almost insane research. Instead, he had inadvertently manufactured a byproduct, the Lineage Potion, which could stimulate the nature of werewolves, making it stronger based on wrath point.
“The Lineage Potion?” Lin Jie was excited and quickly read the whole log. He almost shouted with joy at the instance. At the back of Timmy’s lab log, there was a list of materials needed to make the Lineage Potion such as Rootless leaves, Kodo’s saliva, Low-Grade Demon Blood… At the same time, the manufacturing formula and process were recorded in great detail.
It was impossible for players to pass through Castle Wood easily before they changed jobs. Timmy was the key! Otherwise, one could only do everything like the Kingdom of Glory, fight with their lives on the line and luck. But it had always been a difficult question on how to improve Timmy’s ability.
As the saying goes, “When one lacks quality, he can do with quantity.” As long as there were enough potions, it was not difficult to let Timmy go into frenzy mode by force! Lin Jie’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Lin Jie quickly buried Timmy and his wife, and he left the dungeon with mixed feelings of sadness and joy. He returned to the Sky Provisions Shop, where he could finally go offline safely.
…
Two seconds after the Brotherhood cleared the dungeon, the Kingdom of Glory cleared Castle Wood. The difference might be insignificant, but it was huge indeed. The matter had become a laughingstock, coupled with the shrewish behavior of Shallow Smile later in the video, a vast number of players were shocked by the quality of the commander of a large clan. The image of the Kingdom of Glory had fallen to the bottom out of a sudden!
Fortunately, the next announcement rekindled the spirit of the Kingdom of Glory. Eighteen Massacres has leveled up to level 10, and he was preparing to take up the job-changing mission! Eighteen Massacres had officially entered the rankings as the first position! The enormous difficulty of leveling in The New Age had made the ranking list prestigious. That announcement was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the present Kingdom of Glory.
“In any case, the Kingdom of Glory is still ahead of most guilds,” Cigarette Butt said, “summarize the experience and expand our advantages! Send the Elite Group 2 and 3 into the dungeon. Since we didn’t get the first clear, we will try to get all the clearance records!”
…
Lin Jie had a good sleep and woke up to find that he had slept for 20 hours! After a casual meal and a good workout, he entered the game.
Ding~
‘You are now at Sky Provisions Shop!’
Lin Jie found that the Potion King Seven Ears was becoming more and more exquisite with his potion making. His words and behavior were becoming more and more similar. The Potion King in his previous life and the current one were gradually overlapping, which made him feel kind of sad.
What was needed the most for a sub job was a mental state, a stable mind, a stable hand, plus the powerful aid of Perfect Potion Mastery and the unique skills of Seven Ears. If one had all that, the success rate of refining would naturally soar! The low-level Poison-Antidote Potion in the Provisions Shop were all manufactured by him.
“Morning, boss,” greeted Seven energetically.
“Morning.”
As he greeted, Lin Jie checked the latest transaction records of the Sky Provisions Shop and found that it was on track. Pawnshop trading mode was really the first in the game as many players were curious about it. From time to time, players tested the price for things that were not suited for them. They found that the price given by Sky Provisions Shop was much higher than that of outside. Over time, it had become a fairly credible trading shop.
The designated price set by Lin Jie would not cause any loss, it even made a lot of money. Although the Bronze-Grade equipment from level 3 to 6 was not very valuable, the profit was lucrative. A piece of equipment earned 30 Bronze coins, and hundreds of pieces came down to a gold coin. Many a little make a mickle, quantity changed into quality, and it could be put into practice everywhere!
In just a few days, the business volume in the Sky Provisions Shop had reached 200 gold coins! The profit was as much as 20 gold coins! It was as if money appeared out of nowhere!
“Boss, some players have taken a lot of unknown goods to pawn, and most of them have expired. How do we deal with it?” Seven Ears suddenly said, “And many of them are special items. I can’t evaluate them. I could only grit my teeth and spend 30 Bronze coins to get them.”
Lin Jie took a look, and sure enough, all kinds of special items were piled up in the warehouse. In that way, it was urgent to upgrade the store.
“That’s all right, take it.” Lin Jie searched the warehouse for a while, and his eyes flashed, “According to the original price, take in as many as possible. As long as it’s a special item, it’s all in for me.”
There were many kinds of special items in The New Age, and their roles were different. For example, in order to move lightly for a Bandit, the equipped leather armor would generally expose elbows and other soft parts. Assuming that they were at that time in the mountains and forests to carry out missions, the most frightening thing was the poisonous mosquitoes! A mere bite of it would cause immense pain.
Snapper, which was a special plant item, could be put into great use at that time. It adsorbed on the skin, if there was no food to fill its stomach within an hour, it would start to leech on players’ blood. By sticking the Snapper to exposed areas, let alone poisonous mosquitoes, it could even swallow a snake.
What surprised Lin Jie more was that he found something else in the warehouse, Hard Rotten Wood. The surface was rotten, and the use was unknown. It was covered with knife marks, and it seemed that the owner had not spared much effort to test its use. But Lin Jie knew that this was the Golden Silk Wood needed to make Sub-Legendary Fire Gun! The decayed bark on the surface could be easily peeled off by soaking it with an intermediate dissolving agent for 3 days.
“Boss.” Seven Ears suddenly blushed a little and said weakly, “The low-level Poison-Antidote Potions we have are almost sold out.”
Lin Jie nodded. “Understood, we will share the revenue! You will at least get a portion of what I get.”
Seven Ears gave a dry cough and said, “Not this problem… What I want to say is that I’m the only potioneer here and I can’t keep it up.”
Lin Jie frowned.
Indeed, there was only one potioneer. It was not enough to support the normal operation of shops, let alone expand the scale. Even if the pharmacist was the Potion King, a very skilled individual, he could not do everything.
It was indeed necessary to recruit a potioneer. But it could be put aside for now as it was not very urgent.
Keep in mind that Lin Jie was still a poor man. A potioneer with some skills would cost about 7,000$ to 8,000$. That was not something he could afford.
Lin Jie patted Seven Ears on the shoulder. “I understand, but have you ever thought about it? The reason why I only recruited you is to let your skill proficiency rise rapidly and strive to reach the intermediate level as soon as possible. I do not want others to have a share of your resources. After all, practice makes perfect.”
“I was not going to recruit until another half a month. Now that you ask for it, I’ll go and recruit some potioneer.”
“Boss, wait!” Seven Ears was in a hurry. “I can handle it!”
Lin Jie put the Lineage Potion recipe on the table satisfactorily and said, “Okay, then help me make hundreds of Lineage Potion.”
“…”
After fooling Seven Ears, Lin Jie left the Sky Provisions Shop with 20 gold coins that he had just withdrawn with joy.
