Chapter 349: 349
In the next two days, Savage Blade was busy preparing for the Main Track Mission that Lin Jie had mentioned .

It was much simpler for Lin Jie . He had reached Level 38 and was no . 1 in the game . Even Ophadi Wantless was only at Level 34 .
Leveling up was immensely tough in The New Age, it would have been hard for Lin Jie to skip levels if he had not slain the Dark Shrine’s Deputy Lord, also known as the strongest killing machine, King of Blood .
Lin Jie had also grown anxious now that he was ahead in terms of levels . If he could complete the Job-Advancement before the last round of the final tournament and grasp the Mystic Skill Book, wouldn’t he be able to crush the competition?
‘The experience points from destroying two of Dark Shrine’s sub-shrines are probably sufficient for me to reach Level 40 . ’ Lin Jie pondered as he observed Tsundere Phoenix’s intense enhancement . This chick had been taking her time and had only started her assigned mission at 11:00 pm, and it had been ongoing for an entire day since the furnace had been lit . This caused Phoenix’s face to crumple as she had no choice but to continue on with the enhancement .
Wood Crystal, Fire Crystal, Moon Wood…
Those were all top-notch enhancement materials that were extremely powerful on their own . However, Lin Jie wanted to imitate the person from his previous life that had used a large number of materials to forcefully complete the Sub-Legendary equipment .
Sub-Legendary equipment was the representation of strong and invincible! Just take the Silent Killer as an example, although there wasn’t much usage, it was still divine equipment . Disregarding the 5 Consecutive Shots and Continuous Silence, just the Invincible Breakage already had uncomparable strength .
If the Kiara Beast King Armor was fully smithed, Lin Jie’s strength would increase twice-fold!
“Huuu, the enhancement is finally complete . ” Tsundere Phoenix’s dragged her sentence as her double ponytail hung low . She patted her back and said pitifully, “My tiny waist is going to break soon . ”
Lin Jie smiled faintly and said gratuitously, “Thank you for your hard work . ”
Tsundere Phoenix glanced at Lin Jie and pouted angrily . “Just a line of ‘thank you for the hard work? No more?”

“Uh, how about I treat you to a meal next time?”
Tsundere Phoenix’s eyes were sparkling as she said hopefully, “Really?! Ha… I have always wanted to try out the seafood at Guangdong, are you going to bring me there? No, no, no, why go to Guangdong for seafood? I want to go to Sanya!”
Lin Jie felt awkward and coughed dryly before saying, “I was referring to in-game food . ”
Tsundere Phoenix’s expression froze, and her cute nose crinkled, and she let out a hmph . She glared at Lin Jie and went offline immediately .
Was she angry? Lin Jie felt bad . Tsundere Phoenix was just a little girl that helped him out whenever she was free, but he had made her work for so long, enhancing equipment at the Sky Provisions Shop . He ended up hurting her when he couldn’t even agree to such a small matter .
Lin Jie pondered for a moment before sending her a private message: ‘I will bring you to Sanya after we complete the Main Track Mission . ’
In less than one second, there was a reply: ‘Hmph, I don’t need it!’
This was a friend message connected to the phone, players were able to connect to friends through their in-game usernames .
Another 10 seconds passed, and there came another reply: ‘Call me then, I have to let my mother know . ’
Lin Jie rolled his eyes . ‘She is really a tsundere . ’
As he retrieved the Kiara Beast King Armor from the enhancement furnace, Lin Jie was stunned that there was zero increase in attributes even after adding in the rare materials such as Wood and Fire Crystals! What was going on?

The Kiara Beast King Armor had some hint of life, besides the ancient and vast aura it exuded . The enchanted gems shone in amber and jade glows, but the strength could not be released .
‘Looks like the strength has been sealed, I have to find the Kiara Beast King Ore Furnace or the Kiara Beast King Roar . What a pity . ’ Lin Jie shook his head helplessly as he put on the armor once again .
At this moment, there was the sound of a prompt message .
—Raid Commander Tyrese: Human from the alternate realms, come see me at the Holy Church .
The mission was about to begin!
Lin Jie reached the Holy Church immediately, and as he stepped foot into the church, he detected an unusual power—Space! The actual size of the church was only as big as a basketball court, but it became the size of 5-6 football fields! This space manipulation power was something unreachable by the players .
1,200 Dark Gold Elite Paladins! 10 Sub-Legendary Archangels! 1 Sub-Legendary Raid Commander! Furthermore, there were jobs such as Space Mages and Support Mages .
Support Mages had the power of food creation and were able to create bread, which was identical in terms of appearances to normal bread, but it tasted very bad as it was created by magical elements . Plus, the price of normal bread was affordable, and hence most players would rather eat bread and other meat-based items .
However, this type of food-creating characters was very important during war times .
“You are here . ” A hint of enthusiasm shone through Tyrese’s eyes . This female Paladin, the War of Light’s Raid Commander, was currently excited like a kid! “The troops are ready, the Grand Space Mages will send us all into the King of Blood’s body, and then I will seal up all signs of life using the Holy Light prayers so that we will appear dead and only rise awake upon your summon . ”
‘Wow! Holy Light Prayers, to seal away lives! This Raid Commander is really giving it her all against the Dark Shrine!’ Lin Jie sucked in a breath of cold air . The Holy Light Prayers was a Sub-Legendary Secret Skill, and it consisted of 6 powerful abilities .
There were 6 sub-skills with the Sub-Legendary Secret Skill .
Life Seal was a skill used to restrain the Undead and was able to seal away the Undead within 100 yards, making their revival impossible . If it were used on oneself, then one would be able to enter thanatosis .
If Lin Jie was a Dark Shrine player, he could cause Guild of Light to lose a significant amount of strength by sacrificing the 10 Archangels and 1,000 Paladins to the Dark Shrine . Tyrese was indeed daring and resolute by taking this huge risk, no wonder the Wind Rider Sword Saint liked her .
The Sub-Legendary Raid Commander was a Paladin named Tuca, who was in charge of the battle with Mesosaprobic Shrine and possessed great commanding skills . The most direct observation would be when he was the Commander, the overall soldiers’ attributes would increase by 280%! Normal-level Commanders, even those that had learned commanding skills, would find it difficult to raise the attributes above 60% . Thus, this was the difference between them .
This Paladin, who had a look of unswerving determination, was sizing up Lin Jie as he said, “Human from the alternate realms, I have 50,000 Knights that are on standby . As long as you are able to successfully infiltrate the Dark Shrine’s internals, with our external cooperation, we will be able to destroy the Mesosaprobic Shrine that we have been at war with for so long!”
Lin Jie nodded respectfully . “Don’t worry, leave it to me . ”
“Alright, human from the alternate realms, Esteem Viscount of the City of Light, you are the first human to command us . Honestly, if Ares, God of War, did not pass down the oracle personally and praised you, we would not have believed in your abilities . Space Mages, get ready . ” Tyrese waved her hands and sung various odd and narrow notes, which sounded like vigorous trees that had wilted as they could not sustain their livelihood .
“Holy Light Prayers! Life Seal!”
Swoosh!
A ray of Holy Light emitted out as serene looks emerged on the soldier’s faces, their life forces grew weak as they fell heavily to the ground .
Their lives were sealed, they were all dead!
“Lord Viscount, please give me your accurate coordinates . ” The Space Mage was an old man over 500 years old . This sort of old fogey held countless secrets and missions, but Lin Jie did not have the time to brood over this matter as he passed the King of Blood’s coordinates to him . He began casting the space magic spells immediately and compressed the internals of the Holy Church! In the end, it became the size of a marble and shot into the void, where the King of Blood’s corpse probably was .
After casting the space magic, the old man sat on the ground, breathless as his body begun shaking and blood flowed from his eyes—This was a sign of spirit overexertion .
“Lord Tyrese did not assign you any mission, but after you enter the Dark Shrine and complete your duty, she will reward you greatly . Before that, I shall take my leave, Lord Tuca has called for me to help in the issue of missions to recruit players from the alternate realms to fight against the Dark Shrine as well . ” The old man vanished after saying that .
Lin Jie’s mouth curled . ‘Mission Issuance? To let other players participate in this mission as well? The NPCs will definitely not just reward a selected few, it’s understandable why they wanted to announce the mission to the rest . However, it might turn troublesome . This Space Mage is weak after casting the space magic, so…’
A new mission appeared in the Brotherhood: [Assassinate NPC Kiratin] . The reward was 100 gold coins, which was nothing special, but there was an added bonus of 500 points! This made countless Brotherhood members ecstatic as the missions given by Legendary-Grade players only had around 10+ Light Points as rewards .
The Brotherhood’s points were very valuable! Lin Jie had once used the points to scam Heaven Plume . 500 points were what players would get after doing missions for half a month, and it was sufficient to get Tsundere Phoenix to enhance their equipment for one time! Also, with higher accumulated points, the missions accepted would be more valuable as well!
Monetary and equipment based rewards were all secondary to points on the Brotherhood Leaderboard!
Instantly, countless mercenaries rushed to the poor Space Mage . However, he was at his weakest point with no magic left, how could he take those attacks? He could only escape around at the expense of draining his mana bar . In the end, he had to hide in the main city, helplessly . However, the location where he had to issue the mission was at the battle frontline, not at the mission map . Thus, he was unable to issue the mission to the players .
As a result, the time period for the mission issuance was pushed back by several days!
At this moment, before the City of Light’s teleportation portal .
“Let’s go, teleport to Yahe Sea . ”
Savage Blade entered the teleportation circle under Lin Jie’s instructions . A space package the size of a head hung at Lin Jie’s waist . If one were to look into it, they would find a huge space inside, which was the size of a house . Amidst the darkness laid a silent corpse .
