Chapter 492: Sunshine City
Lin Jie went online and discovered that he was in a small room, which he had not been to before . Only after looking at the map explanation did he know that this was a space temporarily built by the system . If those who had gone offline, voluntarily or forcibly by the system, previously in the City of Light, they would be teleported to such a temporary small room dungeon . If they entered the game, during the period where the City of Light was being upgraded, it was the only way for them to keep playing . That would be convenient, allowing the players to head to other places from the City of Light .

Lin Jie observed the room for a while and realized that there was nothing special in the room beside a teleportation circle . The room could only be described as old and run-down .
“F*ck, although it’s just a temporary room for people to be for a while, they didn’t have to make such a run-down place, right?” Lin Jie complained at the system’s laziness .
Suddenly, a ray of light shone beside him, and a person appeared . Lin Jie took a closer look and saw that it was Bu Yi who had entered the game .
Bu Yi also saw Lin Jie and was surprised . “Eh? Lin Jie, you’re also here… Ah!”
Creak! Creak!
The system once again showed how realistic it was, as if following the concept of the run-down small room environment, a large rat actually appeared underneath Bu Yi’s legs .
Bu Yi screamed and hurriedly retreated, in the panic, it was unknown what she had knocked into or if she had missed a step, but she fell backward!
“Hunter’s Forward Charge!” Lin Jie saw what happened and hurriedly rushed towards Bu Yi, directly hugging her with his hands, pulling her closer . Lin Jie’s strength had simply reached an astronomical figure as compared to Bu Yi’s attributes, so Bu Yi was carried by Lin Jie as simply as one would carry a handbag .
Meanwhile, behind Bu Yi was the corner of the room, so Lin Jie used his strength to turn around and switch positions with Bu Yi . Thus, Lin Jie banged into the corner of the wall with his back .
With a loud thud, the both of them collided with the corner of the wall with them hugging each other . Lin Jie was in Stiffening state while Bu Yi subconsciously hugged what was in front of her tightly with both hands due to panic .
Only after a quiet three seconds passed did Bu Yi regain her consciousness from being shaken up . She then realized that she actually hung onto Lin Jie like a koala, and she instantly blushed where even her ears were also bright red .
At that moment, a voice could be heard behind them . “Ah? The two of you? What are you doing?”
It was Netherblue who had come online . Bu Yi was shocked by Netherblue’s appearance and struggled, trying to slide down from Lin Jie’s body . However, Lin Jie was still hugging Bu Yi as if he was in a daze, so with that little strength of a Priest, how was it possible that she could escape from Lin Jie’s grip? Thus, Bu Yi became even more bashful and anxious . “Hey, let me go!”

Only then did Lin Jie come to his senses . “Oh-oh!” He hurriedly let go of Bu Yi .
Bu Yi’s whole face was bright red, and she could not help but want to shrink her head beneath her neck . She then turned her head away and stayed quiet . Therefore, Lin Jie had to awkwardly explain to Netherblue, whose face was filled with doubt . “Cough cough, erm well, I see you also came online, that damn system built such a run-down place and even made a mouse . It scared Bu Yi, and she nearly fell down, so in a hurry, I grabbed her to prevent her from falling . ”
Netherblue looked at Bu Yi, whose face was flushed red, and then looked to Lin Jie . “Mouse?” Then her expression changed into a “I understand everything” look, and she smiled meaningfully . “Oh, I see…”
Bu Yi became anxious and hurriedly shouted, “It’s really true, Sister Netherblue!”
Netherblue smiled slightly and agreed with Bu Yi, but her eyes were scanning the room, it was obvious what she was thinking . ‘Where’s the mouse?”
Meanwhile, that darn culprit mouse had run away long ago, there were no traces of it anymore .
The two of them were rendered speechless…
“Where are you going?” asked Bu Yi as she broke the silence .
“I have to go to Sunshine City and recruit a few powerful NPCs . Also, that Druid named Bi Yueshuang is there too,” replied Lin Jie with a smile .
“Bi Yueshuang? Oh, you mean that beauty Druid, right…” Bi Yi said softly .
Lin Jie started sweating profusely . “The word beauty can be removed . I just feel that the team should have a job that knows Battle Rez . The job, Druid, is still very important . ”
“Oh . ” Bu Yi nodded calmly .
‘Why do I feel so guilty?’ Lin Jie felt like crying . The heavens could prove that he really only wanted to find a Druid! In the team, a job like the Druids, who were jacks of all trades, was still extremely useful . Also, with a “Resurrection”, which was commonly known as the Battle Rez skill, it could play a huge role . For example, they could revive their MT, who had died instantly— that was something a Priest would not be able to do .

A powerful Druid could even be an MT, healer, and so on, they were extremely flexible . However, if one wasn’t good at playing the Druid, then they would be useless as a job that was the jack of all trades had low healing ability, low health, and low attack output, they would be even worse than normal jobs .
Lin Jie said meekly, “Then should I try my best to find a male Druid as far as possible?”
“Alright, alright . ” Netherblue could not help but laugh and say, “We aren’t that narrow-minded, you should hurry and go . Bu Yi and I will help you to amend the policies regarding the City of Light, then we will go shopping . ”
Bu Yi had no choice but to smile and nod . “That’s right, I haven’t gone shopping for a long time . ”
“Let sister bring you to find some hunky boys… . ” Netherblue glared at a certain someone .
Lin Jie coughed dryly . “It’s best not to go to places like bars or KTV, those places are too chaotic . ”
“Hmph . ” Bu Yi waved her small fists and said as she pouted, “Why would I go to a bar, I’m not going to such a place . ”
After bidding farewell to the both of them, Lin Jie turned and left . He found the teleportation circle and was teleported to Sunshine City .
Sunshine City, as its name suggested, had three suns that would always hang in the sky . Those three stars, which always shone brightly, were also maps that could be explored by players, but it was temporarily not open to the players yet .
There was no nighttime in Sunshine City, it was always daytime, so the plants were extremely lush . The four sides of the main city were all forests, and many Wooden Demons, Flower Demons, and so on grew there . Outside of them was the wide and boundless Desert Map .
In reality, the main aim of Lin Jie was not to find that beauty Druid, but for another item—Mutated Spiderweb . In Lin Jie’s previous life, he had experimented with countless of rare materials when enhancing Broken Blade . Although Broken Blade would absorb everything that came in its way, it would only enhance part of its attributes . With the experience in this life, Lin Jie all the more understood what he did in his previous life was totally wrong .
However, in his previous life, it was only when he had used the Mutated Spiderweb that a change occurred in Broken Blade! It could be counted as the only correct enhancing method that Lin Jie had done in his previous life . Although he had the correct evolving method of absorbing the “blades”, Lin Jie still thought that Broken Blade had infinite possibilities . The enhancing direction using Mutated Spiderweb could be one of the possibilities .
Lin Jie did not bring his Hermit Helmet this time as Sunshine City was Never Setting Sun’s territory, and the guild leader, Scorching Sun, was Baili Xuanyuan’s loyal supporter, so it was better for Lin Jie to stay low . Lin Jie also changed the iconic equipment on him—the famous Broken Blade, Kiara Beast King Armor, and Death Light Helmet were all switched to Dark Gold Fragments . Therefore, he would not be too eye-catching, and people would not look down on him either . That was the main gear that major guild’s elite team members would wear .
Behind Lin Jie was a handsome sword sheath, it was forged by that youngster named Fire Thunder . It was akin to the Bandits’ weapon belt, which could store weapons and make it more convenient for one to change weapons in battle .
“Brother, do you want a map?”
Seeing how Lin Jie stood beside the teleportation circle in a daze, a Dwarf with a mustache came up to Lin Jie . He took out a fully-drawn map and said, “Only 50 silver coins . ”
Lin Jie smiled . “Map? I remember that buying it at the map store would only need 1 silver coin, right?”
“Hehehe, my map is different . ” Seeing that Lin Jie was quite interested, that Dwarf instantly started explaining unceasingly, “It not only records the distribution of monsters, but it also tells you where PK would commonly occur . Most probably, you don’t know that recently, Never Setting Sun has been overbearing . They want to make Never Setting Sun into the only guild in Sunshine City, they would wantonly clear players out of the map . You can only efficiently avoid them by buying my map . ”
“Is the update included?” Lin Jie raised his brows .
“Cough, cough, brother, you’re joking . I die tens of times in the wild on a daily basis just to earn this bit of money . If I include the update of the map, then it would be a huge loss for me,” replied that Dwarf awkwardly with a smile .
Lin Jie turned his eyes as he played with the two gold coins in his hand . He asked, “It seems like you’re well-informed? Then let me ask you, where is Bi Yueshuang?”
The Dwarf player looked at the gold coins, and his eyes lit up . He replied, “Bi Yueshuang is Scorching Sun’s target of admiration . She is harassed by him on a daily basis without fail, so she changes a map every day . If it weren’t for her killing people from Never Setting Sun, no one would be able to know where she is . However, if you give me the money, I can provide you with information . ”
Two gold coins were nothing to Lin Jie, so he just casually threw them to the Dwarf .
“Hehe, to tell you the truth, for experts like Bi Yueshuang, if she can’t be recruited, then she must definitely be killed, or else she might join others . Therefore, Never Setting Sun is gathering their members in preparation to kill her . I don’t know where Bi Yueshuang is, but they should be able to get some clue . ”
The Dwarf stuffed the map into Lin Jie’s hands generously . “I’ll give this map to you, I heard that Never Setting Sun’s Breeze Wind is leading a team to find Bi Yueshuang . They should be at the Spider Den now, you could go and take a look if you are interested . You look like someone from an elite team of a major guild, so I’ll warn you out of goodwill, don’t let them guard your corpse . ”
After finishing, the Dwarf looked to the side, and his whole body trembled . He hurriedly ran away .
Lin Jie took a look and realized it was a patrolling team of players from Never Setting Sun .
‘This guild actually rules the main city like that? Even replacing the NPCs?’
Lin Jie was rendered speechless, and he could not help but laugh . He summoned the Iron-Willed Blood Horse and charged towards the Spider Den . The patrolling players of Never Setting Sun were just about to question Lin Jie, but they were left in the dust .
One of them said hatefully, “F*ck, he actually ignored us after seeing us? We are from Never Setting Sun, damnit! Tell the people at the city gate to stop him, either he pays to enter the guild or have his corpse be guarded!”
“Hehehe… I think this is a good idea too,” another said with a smile .
“The brother at the gate said he saw a Warrior riding an Iron-Willed Blood Horse charge out, he was unable to stop that person…”
“F*ck, such arrogance? Don’t let me see him in the wild . ”
Never Setting Sun was actually so aggressive? Just because someone ignored them, and they wanted to guard the person’s corpse! That Dwarf, who had entered Stealth after receiving the gold coins, shivered and hurriedly ran away, continuing to look for business .
