“You’ve reached level 24 . You have received 5 free Stat points and 2 fixed Stat points . ”
Lin Jie glanced at his attributes, and he now had sufficient health points and Defense ability . However, even with Broken Blade and Thunderbolt Sword as his main damage output as a Berserker, he still required more support .
As always, he would add the fixed stat points to the health points and put all the free stat points into Strength . He merely needed 5 more points to hit the 600-point mark for attack power . What an astonishing figure! The requirement for being a so-called expert in City of Light was to own 2 Gold-tier equipment, which was more than level 20 . Not only would they win a battle easily, but there would also be many hot babes trying to tag along each time such big bosses struck . Well, those big bosses could easily knock out many enemies effortlessly .
Whenever a low-grade dragon was defeated, more of them would emerge . Despite Lin Jie madly using his skills till his arms ached, the low-grade dragons appeared relentlessly . However, the excitement of attaining the Dragon Leather and experience motivated Lin Jie to persevere gladly—perhaps, saying that he enjoyed the process would be a more accurate description .
Even with 6 hours of endless attacks and aggressive battle, the number of low-grade dragons merely decreased by half . The Thunderstorm icon shone brightly in the skills bar, cooldown completed! Lin Jie gobbled up the Health Potion and boosted his health points, he then used Blood Light Multi-Slash and energy flowed rapidly from the tip of the sword into his body . With the help of the potion, his life value had been fully replenished .
“Thunderstorm!” Lin Jie started to prepare for Thunderstorm while the low-grade dragons before him started to growl and bite the Armour of the Kiara Beast King but without leaving traces! After all, the shard of Sub-Legendary equipment did not get their reputation for nothing .
The elements in the entire incubation pool were aroused . After a sudden bolt of thunder, a thunder snake zoomed across the ground towards the low-grade dragons .
-901!
-903!
This was just the beginning! The Thunderstorm was always just a little restricted curse, and together with Broken Blade, which had been greatly strengthened by the Thunder Blade, the attack power was as good as tens of mages launching attacks simultaneously! Lin Jie’s interest for the “Fire Whirlpool” carved on the Broken Blade grew .
The blade landed and wiped out the low-grade dragons in a small area . One of the strengthened dragons was smashed in the head, leaving only the shiny gold dragon skin .

After 10 seconds, the low-grade dragons depleted more than 2,000 points of Lin Jie’s life value . This was the power of the strengthened dragons! However, Lin Jie must admit that he was impressed by his foresight because if he were to be attacked by two low-grade dragons at the same time, he would be thrashed even with his high level; not to mention winning using the Thunderstorm .
Lin Jie’s life value dropped to 20% as Thunderstorm restored . He could not wait to raise Broken Blade, and the Thunderstorm seemed to understand the instructions and slammed down crazily .
Kaboom—
Kaboom—
-1,826!
-1,829!
-3,000!
The entire incubation pool turned into a thunderstorm inferno filled with frenzied explosions and gruesome growls from the low-grade dragons . A huge swarm of damage numbers jumped out neatly, almost filling up the limited space .
“ARGHH!”
A strengthened dragon collapsed . Immediately after, the low-grade dragons were defeated one after the other like the straws in the field, and they transformed into bounteous experience points, streaming into Lin Jie’s body .
Thunderstorm lasted as long as 20 seconds, leaving the place with complete destruction and no surviving monster . The only thing left was a floor full of dragon skin… as for the low-grade dragons roasted by Thunderstorm, they erupted into barbecued meat .

The experience points soared to 65%! Perhaps across history, there were only a miserably few who could defeat the strengthened dragons in such an aggressive way!
Lin Jie picked up the low-grade dragon skin on the ground, collecting 890 pieces of it . Each piece was worth 2 silver coins and everything totaled up to 17 gold and 80 silver coins! In addition, there were also 100 pieces of middle-grade dragon skin, which could be made into a level 30 silver grade armor . This was definitely going to be a popular material in the future that could be priced as much as 20 silver coins!
Lin Jie earned the impressive amount of 38 gold coins in total! Equivalent to 7,600$!This was how much the advanced players could spend on the game . Lin Jie’s equipment and level was top tier and definitely deserved the financial rewards that were matching to his status . In City of Light, how many people could actually fight against monsters like him? Maybe only the collaboration between a few studios could be on par with Lin Jie!
If the earnings were distributed among everyone in the studios, how much would each person actually receive?
This was the pyramid effect! Only the talents at the top of the food chain would be the kings!
Lin Jie packed all the dragon skin in order to save space in his bag . Then, he walked out of the incubation pool cautiously and pushed open the heavy stone gate, peeking outside .
Whoosh—
An arrow soared towards Lin Jie! He crouched as the sound of more arrows flying past followed .
“Damn it! There’s a trap!” Lin Jie frowned and took out his Gilian character card .
“Activate!”
“Your Gold Character Gilian refused to listen to your request . ”
“Activate!”
“Your Gold Character Gilian refused to listen to your request . ”
Activate…
Despite calling her many times, she simply refused to appear . Lin Jie was furious and threw the card aside madly . He sat down on the floor and lay on the barbecued dragon meat on the floor and started to chomp on it . Although the delicious roasted meat was a complete misfit in the gross incubation pool, who cared! In the past there was Guan Yu who scraped his bone to remove the poison and today there was Lin Jie at the dung pool, oh no, bah! Incubation pool, eating meat at the incubation pool, how heroic!
The tantalizing aroma seeped into the card; after all, Gilian was an avid foodie who could devour a few cows at once . Lin Jie counted the number of days he hadn’t fed her…
‘Hehehehe…’
After a few minutes, the card did not move .
After half an hour, it still did not react .
One hour passed, Lin Jie pretended to go to sleep after enjoying a hearty meal . A sneaky spiral appeared from the card, and a light purple hand stretched out and tapped the meat, the hand then picked a little corner and dragged it carefully .
Slam—
Lin Jie grabbed hold of this hand and dragged Gilian out of the card angrily .
“Despicable and shameless!” Gilian screamed while stuffing a small piece of meat into her just in case the terrible person snatched her food away .
Lin Jie almost burst into laughter after seeing her charming face . However, the thought of Zheng Ziliang’s situation ignited his anger .
“Where did you dump my teammates?” Lin Jie scolded .
Gilian sensed Lin Jie’s anxiety and felt extremely satisfied . She said with a laugh, “Human, are you worried? Afraid? Or hopeless? Let me tell you, I have sent them to the scariest place in the Moratti Shrine temple! You are finished! Hahaha…”
—”Gilian’s favorability for you has increased by 200 . ”
Lin Jie ignored her ridiculous favorability, he squeezed her neck and pressed her head outside the window .
Shoosh—
The sound of the arrows came zooming in!
“Ah… shjijkgyu!” screamed Gilian . After she recited a bunch of nonsensical incantation, the arrows stopped immediately .
Lin Jie squinted his eyes, and he finally understood! She belonged to the Dark Shrine! Otherwise, how could she control these traps using those incantations?
After linking what had happened, Lin Jie finally understood the creepy things that this NPC had done: She had guided him to City of Elves to kill the elves . At that point in time, he was completing the Secret Techniques of Clomaros mission, and she made use of the dead bodies of the Night Elf players and the dead Night Guards to create a laboratory . Then, she gave him some incentives after he completed the mission, thereby luring him into the Ares Cave .
Her ulterior motive was to get the ‘Map of Moratti Shrine temple’ hidden in the cave! She had helped Lin Jie along the way because she wanted him to obtain the map . In fact, Lin Jie felt that Gilian was ready to kill him in order to get the map . However, Gilian never expected Lin Jie to learn the skill of Shield Cut! The skill was good enough to restrict Gilian who had low life points, although she could conjure a steel-like Magic Shield .
The hunter and prey had swapped places—the situation changed because Lin Jie could threaten Gilian’s life at any time!
Lin Jie’s eyes flashed and an idea popped in his mind—maybe Ares had rewarded him with Shield Cut on purpose?
No matter what, since he could control this NPC, he had to make full use of her! If she belonged to the Dark Shrine, then she would be a walking map!
“Let my teammates out and draw me a map showing where the weapons are hidden!” Lin Jie placed Broken Blade on her neck and continued, “Otherwise, you’ll know what’s awaiting you!”
