After walking out of the teleportation circle, Lin Jie still could not get over the scene of the little loli, dark-elf-like priestess swallowing a living cow . It was still sanguinary when he thought about it .
Lin Jie looked at Gilian after she had eaten the cow on the water . Apparently, there would not be any bonus if she was not full . He left her at the restaurant and secretly told the waiter to “take his time” to serve the dishes . Gilian looked at Lin Jie, leaving in a hurry with mixed feelings . It was hard to tell if she was excited or missed Lin Jie .
Since Gilian was behaving so barbarically, Lin Jie checked the internet for information on Night Elves . Night Elves believed in Way of Nature . They were particularly kind to beasts, plants and other forms of lives . It was abnormal for them to do things like “eating living animals . ” What was wrong with Gilian?
However, Gilian did not look like a Night Elf either . Thus, it was possible that she was not one of them to begin with . Lin Jie could not make sense out of it, so he decided to drop the thought . As long as there was a mission, who cared? Why would he waste his brain cells on that?
It was time to deal with the gem in the Cave of Crystals . There were many crystal makers in City of Light, and they claimed to be able to perfectly extract the potential of crystals . Although it was meant in the form of embedding the crystals onto objects . What Lin Jie needed was to melt down these crystals, which they could not perform . Hence, Lin Jie thought of the little loli instantly .
Lin Jie was shocked by the desertness of City of Barbarians after walking out the teleportation circle . Ever since Tsundere Phoenix moved here, there would always be a large crowd around the teleportation circle . It was almost identical to the scene with Enchanter Maria . He was expecting a big crowd too this time, and he was taken by surprise .
“Uh? What brings you here?” a soft voice was heard . Tsundere Phoenix was holding a Barbarian Child with a loving face . She was feeding the child with a special juice made by barbarians . It was said to be able to strengthen the physical condition of the barbarians, but the truth was that it was just made of some herbs .
Lin Jie scratched his head and said awkwardly, “I was going to ask for your help . ”
“Hehe, just a minute . Only one little guy left!” Tsundere Phoenix winked playfully and said, “After that, I will have the furnace . ”
Lin Jie smiled . Tsundere Phoenix had a remarkable efficiency . He finally understood why City of Barbarians was deserted . Tsundere Phoenix decided to focus on getting her hand onto the furnace, and thus the enchantment job was stopped for a while . Players could only wait until she was done and reopened her store after obtaining the furnace .
It was not easy to obtain Barbarian Maria’s furnace . Although she had accepted Tsundere Phoenix as her student, barbarians were very careful in selecting who to pass the skill to . It would be naive to think that one could obtain the furnace simply by behaving themselves and helping with the daily chores . The senior would only pass the most precious gift on the ‘Coming of Age’ of the juniors, on the condition that the senior was fond of the junior .
Once a teacher, always a teacher . Maria indeed had the intention of passing the furnace to Tsundere Phoenix… Tsundere Phoenix had earned the liking of Maria . She was diligent and helped out with Barbarian Childs . Most importantly, her enchanting skill was indeed “barbaric” – with the way she shook the furnace? Barbaric it was – Maria was very fond of that method . However, tradition must be followed . Even though Maria had the intention of passing the furnace, she must wait until the Coming of Age .
How old were those barbarian children? They would need at least a decade before the Coming of Age . Thus, in order to get the furnace sooner, she would need some tactics . The barbarian children of Enhancer Maria were the keys to that . As long as each of them had the highest level of affection “Admire,” they would be helping her to steal the furnace from their own mother .
The barbarian children had great combat power .
As a female and a beautiful one, Tsundere Phoenix had the advantage . To a barbarian child, it was okay if a man was muscular . But if the women were muscular too, although they would have great strength, it would not be nice touching, and it affected the look too .

Thus, the human Tsundere Phoenix was much better .

With a ring, Tsundere Phoenix smiled and said, “Well, only one left . ”
“Phoenix Sis, hug, hug…” A barbarian child opened up his arm and glued himself on Tsundere Phoenix, rubbing his head on her still-developing breasts .
“Hmph . What a kid!” an indifferent voice sounded . A dark-skin barbarian walked in . He was almost the size of a grown barbarian . He held an axe and said in a despiteful tone, “Shame on you!”
It was Barbarian Flan . Lin Jie searched the database for it and found out that he was only 12 years old . He admired heroes a lot . It was kind of like the children nowadays who liked Hulk and Superman . Flan always dreamt about going to war .
Tsundere Phoenix put down the child and said, “Flan, you did not take your nutrient serum today . ”
Flan’s lips twitched, and he said, “I don’t want that! I want to practice, fight with me!”
With a mission notice, Tsundere Phoenix speechlessly opened her hand . She was not a battling job .
Lin Jie drew his weapon in silence and smiled . He said, “Little barbarian, don’t force your Phoenix Sis . Come, I’ll fight with you . ”
“OKAY!” Flan’s name turned to red immediately . He waved the shiny axe he was holding and chopped down .
[Barbarian Flan]: Level 30 Elite, HP: 70,000
Due to genetic traits, all barbarians were good fighters . They were known as Meat Grinders on the battlefield, and even if it was just a little guy, he should not be underestimated .
Staring at the axe, Lin Jie raised his Thunderbolt Sword and blocked the attack . The enormous force running through his hand almost made him drop his weapon . Earth Elemental Wrist Guard glowed, and the special effect was triggered: Unwavering!
After countering the attack, Lin Jie pushed with his legs and quickly closed the distance between himself and Flan . He hit Flan on the stomach with his knee and sent Flan flying backward .

“Hahaha! Flan is beaten!”
“He is just a kid pretending to be an adult!”
Many children crowded around and laughed at Flan, who was on the ground . Tsundere Phoenix was stunned when she heard the notice that Flan’s favorability for her was falling rapidly!
“Shut up!” Flan angrily stood up and said to Lin Jie, “You fight with your good weapon, and it’s not fair! I only have an axe for cutting trees . I can easily win the fight with a decent weapon! Since you are so ‘good,’ get me a weapon!”
Seeing the opportunity, Lin Jie quickly asked, “What weapon do you want?”
“There was a Deathbone Dragon in the desert outside of City of Barbarians . You give me its rib, and I’ll beat you!” Flan shouted .
Ding~
The mission notice rang .
——’Do you accept this mission? [Dragon Slaughter]?’
Mission description: Flan, who was defeated by you, thinks you just have a weapon advantage . He wants a fair fight . Kill the Deathbone Dragon and bring its rib .
Mission reward: 200,000 EXP, favorability of Flan increase by 400, favorability of Maria decrease by 400 .
“What a thankless task . ” Lin Jie shook his head and laughed at the kid in his heart . He was the type that could be agitated easily . So, Lin Jie said in an arrogant voice, “C’mon little barbarian, that is a Deathbone Dragon . I could die easily from it . Why should I risk it for you?”
“Erm…” Flan was dumbfounded for a moment . He scratched his head and thought hard about it . Suddenly, he took out a yellowish book and said, “Do you know what is this? It is the secret technique of our old God of War, Clomaros! If you get me what I want, this will be yours . How about that?”
The crowd was in an uproar . How did Flan get that? Secret technique of Clomaros was a heritage item from their ancestor, and it was kept by the head of the family . Could he have stolen it?
Ding~
—’There is a change in the mission reward . ’
Lin Jie took a look at the reward, and there was an extra item: [Clomaros’ Secret Technique: Invincible] .
Lin Jie gladly accepted the mission .
Tsundere Phoenix received the mission too . She said, “The favorability from the mission could only raise it back to ‘friendly . ’ QAQ . All my effort is wasted…”
Lin Jie smiled and said, “C’mon, after you complete the mission, I’m sure that his favorability will be increased to ‘Admire . ’”
“Really?” said Tsundere Phoenix happily .
“Of course, don’t forget our deal then . ”
“Rest assured . I am a woman of my word!” said Tsundere Phoenix confidently . “I’ll be all yours then!”
Lin Jie almost fell . He coughed and said, “What?”
“Hmph! Why? You are too good for me?”
“Nope, nope…”
“Tsu! Like you are good enough for me . ” Tsundere Phoenix turned away and rushed off . She came back after a few moments and asked in a soft voice, “Erm… Where is Deathbone Dragon?”
“Pui… Pui… Pui…”
The complaints from Tsundere Phoenix never stopped on the way there . Since Lin Jie was fully armored, he walked in the front naturally .
Due to the bad weather and the creatures hidden in the desert, not many players had come to City of Barbarians . They could be easily killed here . The two of them did not meet a single monster on the way because Lin Jie had the experience from his previous life and could avoid those monsters easily .
“Here it is . ” Lin Jie checked the hints from the mission . It was easy to get lost in the desert, so they had to rely on the map guidance . Deathbone Dragon lived right below here .
Tsundere Phoenix put on a soft cloth armor and covered her face, leaving only the eyes exposed . She said in a hollow voice, “How do we summon the monster?”
Lin Jie blinked and pointed at the front . “You walk there slowly . ”
“Oh…” Tsundere Phoenix nodded and started walking .
One step, two steps…
Sha…
The yellow sand beneath started to collapse! Tsundere Phoenix was so shocked that she did not even dodge! A terrifying bone face appeared from below and attacked her!
A huge skeletal beast suddenly emerged from the sand, the sky was stained with a dark yellow, where the beast appeared suddenly in a large pit . The sand filled the hole like a waterfall .
Deathbone Dragon!
The Deathbone Dragon had the size of a castle! It grabbed Tsundere Phoenix with its mouth and tried to swallow her, but it did not have the flesh and organs to do that .
Tsundere Phoenix was tossed away by the Deathbone Dragon, and she landed into the sand with a scream, her legs kicking in the midair .
[Deathbone Dragon]: Level 30 Gold Boss, Health Points: 210,000
Lin Jie’s was surprised . ‘Wow, level 30 Gold Boss!’
Pia—
Deathbone Dragon swept with its tail, and a sandball was thrown at Lin Jie . When it hit on the ground, a huge hole was created, and the sandball disappeared like a block of ice thrown in boiling water .
Lin Jie’s eye lit up, and he started digging the ground with his hand . Then, a second sandball came, hit, and buried Lin Jie in the desert .
