Lin Jie held the Silent Killer in his hand and stood at the furthest distance, shooting towards the Boss consecutively.
-473!
-421!
-555!
-495!
-462!
The Damage Dealt was low, and could be said to be negligible in front of the Boss’ health points, which could be as high as millions of points. However, Lin Jie was not in a hurry, and he steadily loaded and shot the bullets quickly. Although the Boss was completely back-facing Lin Jie and would not be able to activate magic skills, it was better to be safe than sorry. Thus, Lin Jie still decided to shoot it to death.
What if he went closer to the Boss and was pulled by some unknown skill in front of the Boss, or if he was knocked back again away from the area in front of the door and into the map, thus not being able to see the Boss anymore? Then he would only have himself to blame!
Attacking the weak point of the Boss could deal Weak Point Damage, so Lin Jie’s damage output was still quite okay—he should be able to kill the Boss within eight hours. The good thing was that he had brought enough supplies, like bullets and potions, before coming to the Star Elves’ Tomb. Although he had given a large number of Mana Potions to Feng Yun, it did not affect him at all.
The mana value of Warriors was simply too low, so a bottle of Middle-Grade Mana Potion would be able to restore it to the maximum. As compared to those tragic Mages…
Thinking till there, Lin Jie could not help but gloat over others’ misfortune. He had forgotten the awkward situation where his health could not be fully recovered even if after drinking Health Potions vigorously.
Ding~
—’The energy absorbed by your Crescent Warhorse Egg is 1/1,500.’
“Huh?” Lin Jie was slightly surprised. Indeed, the surface of the mellow egg was full of luster. He was not shocked about that, but because of the Energy Bar of the Crescent Warhorse. A normal pet egg just required 100 points of energy to hatch into a mount, and slightly stronger mounts such as Iron-Willed Blood Horse would just need 200 points. For rarer mounts, it would also be below 300 points.
From what Lin Jie knew, the strongest Battle Mount that players had was a Blazing Flame Dragon, its Energy Bar was as high as 1,400 points, and after it was hatched, it was exceptionally powerful. It could not only fly but also be used as a Battle Mount—just one Fireball released could instakill Mages of the same level with relatively poorer equipment.
‘So this means that this Crescent Warhorse is even more powerful than that Flame Dragon from my previous life? Then, won’t this mount stand at the peak of all mounts?’ thought Lin Jie in his heart, but he did not stop the movements of his hands and continuously shot the bullets. ‘No, that Flame Dragon is just an Inferior Dragon, which did not even have the qualifications to enter the Dragon’s Lair, so it’s not counted as strong. Also, many powerful people have entered that land. Thus the Flame Dragon is not really the strongest mount at all.’
After four hours, the Boss’ health points decreased to 57%, and balls of energy appeared out of thin air, smashing to the ground like hail. Lin Jie secretly rejoiced as the hail’s density decreased the further away from the center, which was where the Boss was. If Lin Jie had been greedy and gone closer to the Boss for higher damage, he would have been a corpse by now. Then, it would be difficult to say if he could even enter such a place again.
Time passed by hours and minutes. Lin Jie felt that his fingers were getting more and more tired, but he gritted his teeth and threw such a feeling to the back of his head and continued reloading and shooting.
Boom—
As the last bullet pierced into the back of the Boss, its energy-filled body finally collapsed and was converted into sparking energy blocks, which fell to the ground one after the other. One could still see the radiance of equipment gleaming from within.
—’You have killed the Star Elf Guardian Leader Zivers and received 300 Favorability Points from the Goddess of Moon.’
—’You have leveled up to Level 59! You have received 5 Free Stat Points and 2 Fixed Stat Points.’
Golden light shone, and Lin Jie looked at his level with surprise—he had actually raised his level to 59!
The difficulty of killing monsters of a higher level was just too high. In The New Age, the number of players that could kill monsters five levels higher than them was already only a handful. As for those that could kill monsters whose levels were higher by 10, they were top-notch experts! Meanwhile, if monsters were 20 levels higher, then if one were to attack head-on, then unless their team was composed of experts, it would be impossible! Even so, the profits from killing the monster could not be compared by experts splitting up and killing monsters themselves.
Not to mention Lin Jie was now single-handedly killing a Dark Gold Boss that was 20+ levels higher than him—the enhancement of experience points from over-level kill was enough to feed the experience bar until it was full!
Lin Jie was about to go and pick up the items on the ground, but on second thoughts, he was afraid of stepping out of the map. Therefore, he just activated Death Grip and grabbed all of the items, pulling them back towards him.
There were a total of 39 Energy Cores! Those Energy Cores were enchantment materials. Normally, the enchantment material used was Arcane Dust, an Energy Core could be broken down into 100 sets of Star Elves’ Dust, which was high-grade enchantment material. Now the market price of an Energy Core was not lower than 50 gold coins! Of course, after the Star Elves’ Tomb was developed, they would no longer be sold for such a high price.
‘Do what others cannot and obtain materials not available in the market, then getting rich will be inevitable.’
Before those Star Elves’ Energy Cores entered Lin Jie’s backpack, they suddenly started disintegrating and turned into tiny spots of light to be absorbed by the Crescent Warhorse Egg. The Energy Bar increased by 120 points.
‘Just need to kill another 10+ Bosses to hatch it.’ Lin Jie rolled his eyes. After absorbing so many Energy Cores, the Energy Bar had only risen by 120 points—indeed, it was harder to raise stronger mounts. People said that children were difficult to raise, but it looked like this horse was no different.
Besides that, a Skill Book and a shining armor, like that of twinkling stars, were also dropped.
[Star Fall]: Can be used by Druids. You will summon the energy of the stars and deal damage of basic 100+180% Magic Attack to all targets within an 8×8 yards radius. There are a total of three waves of Star Fall, and the time interval is 1 second. After all three waves hit a target, an additional wave of Star Fall will occur and deal the knockback effect to the targets.
Arcane-type Druid AOE skills were extremely powerful but not practical for usage. Lin Jie just casually threw it into his backpack. He would ask Breeze Wind if she was interested or not. If she did not need it, then he would sell it.
The armor was an exclusive magic armor for Paladins.

Dark Gold Uniform equipment!
Lin Jie was astonished as his main aim for coming to the Star Elves’ Tomb this time was to obtain a batch of Gold Uniform equipment blueprints, who would have thought that Dark Gold Uniform equipment would be dropped? Although there was only one such item, if he gathered a certain number and handed them to the Blacksmiths in Brotherhood to dismantle them and create a blueprint, then it could be mass-produced.
To create the blueprint from the equipment, it needed one’s Smithing to reach Superior-Grade, and according to one’s proficiency, the research progress would vary.
At least 10 Star Elves’ Armor would be needed to be able to create the blueprint.
Lin Jie put away the equipment into his backpack. Now he had one more mission to accomplish!
Only after Lin Jie killed the guardian Boss did he have the time to observe this hidden map. The name of the map was [Land of Moonfall]. It looked like it was related to that unlucky Goddess of Moon. As a god, she had been captured by inferior creatures to absorb her energy—she must feel extremely upset even after her death, right?
The Land of Moonfall was gigantic. There was only a diamond-shaped gemstone in the center, which supported the map.
In the center of the gem was a ball of light tied using chains and was extremely blurry—its specific shape could not be seen. Lin Jie slowly went closer to it, but he suddenly felt a swelling pain from his muscles, as if his blood had flowed into the void and made him feel tired.
-350!
-350!
The effect of Brilliant Circle of Life had increased by seven times.
Lin Jie thought for a moment and activated Ocean’s Heart. He sat down, stuffed food into his mouth, and drank potions. The health deducted per second, there was too powerful, and according to his judgment, the amount of health deducted would increase greatly as he went closer to the gemstone!
Such a situation was already not solvable with just the strength of a Warrior alone. As such, a Priest would be needed, one that was powerful enough! Lin Jie had already figured out what was the hardest test in this map: Firstly, to enter the Land of Moonfall without killing the Boss and secondly, find a way to bring a teammate that could heal one together into the place.
The difficulty of entering this map was already almost impossible, not to mention bringing another person! However, Lin Jie had the Powers of Life, Ocean’s Heart—something the system did not expect. Lin Jie was quite far from Bu Yi, and inevitably, he had to wait for quite a long time. He widened his eyes as he observed that Goddess of Moon—her body, which was made of light, was sealed by countless chains and looked slightly shriveled up. However, she still emitted thick and pure Powers of Life, meaning she was definitely far from her death!
It looked like historical records were not all trustworthy.
In The New Age, the reason why all players were called the representatives of gods and had high status where even Legendary NPCs were willing to commit themselves and follow players, was because players had a fearsome power that could defy rules—Rebirth!
Players could resurrect after death, and characters like NPCs, which followed players, could do the same. To old NPCs, whose lifespans were about to end, such was an irresistible temptation. However, there was a type of living creature, which was an exception, and that was—gods!
Exactly what stats or abilities gods had had never actually been exposed in front of people in the last seven years of Lin Jie’s previous life. However, Lin Jie had once obtained an ancient book that praised gods, and it was mentioned that gods were immortal existences. Even if their bodies died, their souls would be like the core of the land in The New Age, which would never cease to exist.
At that moment, the air vaguely became damp, then after a mist, Bu Yi appeared. She excitedly ran towards Lin Jie with light steps. She chuckled as she said, “Leader Lone Wolf, what could I help you with?”
Seeing how cute Bu Yi was, Lin Jie could not help but stretch out his hand to rub her head. He smiled and said, “Thank you.”
“Hehe.” Bu Yi smiled so widely her eyes were slitted. Codename Lone Wolf, who she could only look up to once, had become more and more reliant on her. Didn’t this mean he needed her? Bu Yi raised her head with pride and said, “Tell me, what help do you need?”
