Chapter 536: Demolish It
“Hardworking Pants specializes in runes, putting aside his value as a Living job, his runes could enhance one’s skill at some critical moment . It would be quite effective if one made use of runes to enhance healing or damage output during the last stage of killing an enraged Boss .
“Demon Sword, he is arrogant, a little chunnibyou, and likes to show off, but his learning ability is quite strong . Also, he is relatively naive . If a sense of belonging towards the team is developed through the bonds with other teammates, then he will really become one of us . Jiangnan Yanyu and Lingyun Xiaoxiao, these two Priests, although each of their techniques are not very good, their teamwork is very good since they are roommates in the real world, so their chemistry is good .
“On the other hand, this Ten Thousand Men’s Enemy… looks quite honest . However, his personality is too straightforward and gullible . I hope he won’t be taken advantage of by others . ”
Lin Jie walked towards the City of Light inventory as he thought of the members that joined recently . To a team, frequently changing members was not a good thing . Although the members he had invited to join Savage Blade all had different personalities, their natures were quite similar, so they got along well . However, there was a need to consider carefully about the newcomers .
Amongst them, the strangest person was definitely Hardworking Pants as he was a Living job . Accepting a Living job into Savage Blade team definitely an impressive feat! It just depended on whether or not they could develop the skill of runes .
The streets in the City of Light could be said to be bustling . After Lin Jie became the City Leader, he was not in charge of the city’s matters . Most of the time, the authority was all gathered in the hands of Bu Yi, Netherblue, and others . However, the development of the City of Light was becoming more prosperous with each passing day . It could be imagined how much effort everyone else had put in, except for Lin Jie, who basically did nothing . The City of Light’s reputation had attracted many NPCs . They stayed there due to the good benefits and prospects .
The New Age was about to enter the mid-game period, battles between guilds were ceasing, and gradually entered the stage of developing steadily . Although there were small battles between major guilds, there were hardly any large-scale battles . The Steel Allies and Brotherhood’s alliance had also gradually strengthened . Meanwhile, in that period, another guild started rising in power—the Supreme Tribe .
It was the guild Baili Changcheng had created himself . Since Lin Jie had announced that Brotherhood would reduce the members, all members had been split into two batches, one would enter the Supreme Tribe, while the other would be accepted into the Brotherhood . Then, Supreme Tribe started flourishing as they developed . Currently, Baili Changcheng had almost 30,000 members in his guild, and it could be counted as a major guild already .
Meanwhile, Brotherhood’s development did not lag behind either, but instead, it had gone on the right track . No matter the loyalty or technique of members that joined Brotherhood, they were all of top-notch! Also, Brotherhood, it had become a word that carried the most credibility . In the players’ impression, if they encountered players with the word Brotherhood on their head when teaming up in the wild, they would definitely be good teammates that had high technique, good equipment, and wouldn’t steal equipment or gold!
Everything was developing in a good direction .
Of course, everything had its downside . Baili Xuanyuan, who had stayed low for quite a while, made Lin Jie feel great pressure . Meanwhile, Eighteen Massacres, who controlled Baili Xuanyuan and was silently developing, was already a huge threat . The people from Internet Celebrity Organization that he had casually killed were the members of Eighteen Massacres’ organization . Although their ability was not strong, they were ahead of normal players .
‘This Best Of The Best competition, looks like it’s another battle of mind games,’ thought Lin Jie . He had walked in front of the Inventory Manager and opened his inventory . A scroll, which shone brightly, emitted a quaint and profound light . That was the Secret Techniques of Clomaros! In order to read the scroll, which Lin Jie had found from searching the home of the City of Light’s Corporal, one had to be Level 50 and above .
Now, Lin Jie’s skills, helmet, armor, and greaves were all Sub-Legendary, while the rest of his equipment was Dark Gold . He had even completed the Skill Strengthening Mission and enhanced the Mountain-Crushing Strike into Mountain-Crushing Flame Slash, increasing his strength greatly . It was time to complete the mission!
After tearing apart the Secret Techniques of Clomaros, a small and exquisite elf with almost transparent skin appeared from the void and attached to Lin Jie’s right hand .
Ding~
—’You have opened the Secret Techniques of Clomaros, the God of War’s trial is about to begin!”
—’In the past, when The New Age was in chaos due to war, the God of War singlehandedly killed his way into the Tribe and tried to destroy the Undead’s divine equipment [Fallen] . However, just before he was about to succeed, the Undead General Alpistin of the Tribe had overpowered the young God of War with absolute strength . Thus, the plan was ruined . Adventurer who has accepted the will of the God of War, enter the Tribe, and complete the God of War’s unfulfilled wish!”
‘Psht, go to the Tribe?’ Lin Jie almost vomited blood from the shock—this mission was actually that unbelievable!
Don’t just see that Lin Jie had always been battling with the Dark Shrine so vigorously, no matter how ruthless they were when battling, the battle between the Dark Shrine and Guild of Light was still within the Guild of Light . However, the God of War’s trial directly wanted Lin Jie to go to the Tribe?
The Guild of Light and Dark Tribe were the two opposing camps in the setting of The New Age . In the players’ mouth, they were nicknamed “Guild” and “Tribe” . The Tribe was also the camp of players, but they included races like Minotaurs, Undead, Orcs, and others . Simply speaking, people that did not look like humans were the Tribe .
The hatred of the two camps did not need to be explained with words if there had to be a legitimate reason as to why the two camps battled, then that was: One could obtain Commendation Signets, and battle merits from killing the opposing camp’s players . One would be able to exchange for the Gladiator Set using enough Commendation Signets, and the focus was, that Gladiator Set was a Dark Gold Set .
That’s right, Dark Gold Set! Even if it were Lin Jie now, he was unable to find a Dark Gold Set to equip . However, if one joined the camp war, they would be able to use Commendation Signets to exchange for a Dark Gold Set! That was the most tempting thing!
However, now, the war of the Guild and Tribe had yet to be released . Guild and Tribe had their own maps that the players of each camp went to, and the only way to experience the camp war was to enter the “battlefield” . Although the battlefield was a map where one would fight with others, it was still simple gameplay . One would not drop levels or equipment after being killed, so the Commendation Signets obtained would naturally be much lesser . The Commendation Signets obtained in a 40-minute battle on the battlefield was lesser than the Commendation Signets obtained from killing three Tribe players . The battlefield was more of a place to train the players’ PK technique .
In such a situation, if Lin Jie were to be discovered after he entered the Tribe As, one could imagine what treatment he would face .
Lin Jie was not familiar with that Undead General Alpistin either as it was someone from the opposing side!

The moment he received the mission, Lin Jie’s head buzzed . It was disappointing, but he had wanted to give up on the mission as it was not a problem of whether he was able to do it—the price was too high .
Ding~
—’There is already someone else who is completing the mission . Only the player who completes it first will be able to obtain the mission rewards . The other person will then have failed the mission . ’
‘There’s someone else?’ Lin Jie was astonished . He recalled that the God of War had mentioned this before . Besides Lin Jie, there was someone who had completed more Secret Techniques of Clomaros missions than Lin Jie . Was it possible that person was that certain someone?
If that was so, then Lin Jie had to accept the mission and go!
Although Lin Jie was always benefit-oriented, he had a passionate heart . ‘If someone else could do it, then why can’t I too? It can’t be that I’ve been reborn just to fall behind someone else, right?’
He arranged his inventory and was prepared to head to the Tribe!
Lin Jie summoned his Iron-Willed Blood Horse . Unfortunately, this mount was already a little outdated, and its attributes could not keep up the mainstream, while the Tiger King was too flashy . Therefore, Lin Jie urgently needed a better horse . The Tribe’s Undead race was known for their Undead Skeleton Horses, and if he could obtain a batch of them, it would be quite good .
Lin Jie headed to the Sky Provisions Shop . He stored all the items he temporarily did not use and conveniently let Seven Ears give him a batch of high-quality potions . They were all super Health Potions, which could instantly recover 4,800 health points, and each bottle was sold for 50 silver coins . That was a potion that normal players would only use in critical situations to save their lives, but Lin Jie had used them to fill up his backpack . Also, there were other potions like Stealth Potions, Holy Light Rejuvenation Potions, and so on, and he brought a batch of all of them .
“Boss, Fire Bomb is looking for you,” said Bella with a smile . Bella was still wearing that fiery-red cheongsam .
“Boss, you’ve finally come! Come and take a look at my research products . ” Fire Bomb hurriedly ran down . It was relatively rare for Lin Jie to come to the shop, and normally Fire Bomb was extremely busy too . Now, he finally found the chance to give the equipment to Lin Jie .
Fire Bomb took out a strange device, snatched Lin Jie’s Silent Killer, and started installing it . While he was doing so, he said, “I’ve waited for you for so long, but I have never found a chance . That’s right, boss, I changed the design of the Silent Killer a little . After it was weakened to Dark Gold equipment, I successfully created the blueprint . Now, two Dark Gold Silent Killers can be produced per day . I shortened the gun’s tip, so the firepower reduced, but I’ve kept the original special effects . Please take a look . ”

As he spoke, he passed to Lin Jie, a weakened version of the Silent Killer .
[Silent Killer] (Dark Gold)
Requires: Level 20, Strength: 300 and above
Attack: 187-355
Strength: +35
Endurance: +30
Armor Penetration: +20
Armor Ignore: 13%
Additional effect: 5 Consecutive Shots, Continuous Silence
“Haha, not bad, you’re a genius!” Lin Jie was elated . Although this Dark Gold had reduced the damage and additional attributes by 50%, the special effects had been perfectly preserved . The most powerful point of the Silent Killer was in its Continuous Silence .
“Hehehe . ” Fire Bomb seemed to like the compliment as he shyly blushed . He took back the altered Silent Killer . “After altering it, I added a silencer, lengthened the barrel, and here, do you see it? This is an infrared blasting device, simply speaking, at least 50 bullets can all be stuffed inside, melted, and shot out together . It can deal about five times the damage!”
Bella doubtful, so she asked, “50 bullets, only five times the damage? That doesn’t seem worthwhile?”

“Fire Bomb’s original intention is to increase the outburst of Damage Dealt in one shot . If I melt 250 bullets, then it would be 25 times the damage, right?” said Lin Jie with a smile .
“No, no, melting 250 bullets in one go would make it become a smoke bomb, kaboom—” Fire Bomb smiled and said, “That is specially designed, tailor-made for you . Boss, don’t you have a fog skill? It’ll definitely be useful!”
Lin Jie looked at the youngster in front of him in surprise . Only after a while, he nodded and said, “Thank you, Fire Bomb . You’ve spent quite the effort, right?”
“Hehe, it’s my pleasure and what I’m supposed to do . As long as you like it, it’s enough . I just wanted to be acknowledged by you . ” Fire Bomb scratched his head .
“You are the strongest Firearms Designer . Bella, buy the shop next to us and open a Firearms shop for Fire Bomb . Fire Bomb, choose a few disciples to follow and help you . I need a large quantity of Silent Killers, can you do it?” said Lin Jie in a serious tone .
“I can do it!” Fire Bomb’s voice trembled from the excitement .
Bella said meekly, “Boss, next to us is an NPC residential building . ”
Lin Jie said in a domineering tone, “I am the City Leader, I have the final say, demolish it!”
