Chapter 562
Legendary! Crescent Warhorse Egg! Lin Jie was stunned .
“That’s a very nice reward . ” Lin Qingyu tried to say something better, but she had no knowledge of the game .
She turned around and asked Lin Jie, “Mr . Lone Wolf, I’m going to start playing the game soon . Any help you can render?”
Lin Jie smiled . “Sure, I can provide you all the potions you need before Level 30 . ” He had to give her some face as she was a well-known celebrity .
After that, Lin Qingyu made some closing statements, and Best Of The Best officially ended .
Everyone left Ragnarok with satisfaction . Those were some good games to watch . They had gotten many gift bags too—some had even gotten 10 gold coins from them .
At Sakura’s bar .
Savage Blade’s members gathered in their VIP room and were happily drinking .
“Cheers!”
“Nice! Now they know who’s the best out of the best! We got all the fame and rewards! What a nice day!” Zheng Ziliang said happily, “Come on, let’s cheer for Lone Wolf!”
Lin Jie waved his hand and said, “Don’t praise me so much . We won the competition together . Charming Smile used her skill so perfectly that it wore down their HP . Baili and Ziliang did great too . You guys wasted so many skills even when you were at death’s door . In the end, I could only survive due to Bu Yi’s healing . The victory is ours to share!”
Everyone drank to their heart’s content . Lin Jie seldom allowed them to drink, but now, it was the time that they could drink freely .
The New Age was a very realistic game, and one could get drunk in the game too . However, players could use the system setting to remove such feelings .
Baili Changcheng started to feel the alcohol entering his bloodstream . He played with his cup and said, “Today, those old guys in my family started investing in the game . Supreme Tribe will get a sum of money too . Now, it’s time to expand our territory . ”
“You fulfill your criteria already?” asked Lin Jie . He was referring to tripling the money Baili Changcheng had received .
“Haha, way more than that! Ever since you announced that Supreme Tribe would be allied with the Brotherhood, its value skyrocketed . Today, we won the competition, so the Supreme Tribe’s worth increased further!” Baili Changcheng smiled . “My family asked me to see if you are interested in accepting their investment . ”
Lin Jie started to be serious .
Netherblue said, “After today’s broadcast, many corporations, be it small or big, will start to invest in the game . Steel Allies accepted an investment from a clothing company . They will start shops in the City of Light and name them after that company . They will then take a portion of the profit . It is like an advertisement . ”
“Accepting investments allows the guild to gain more profits . They can also settle the salary of the elites in the guild . It is a win-win situation . I’m only saying it because I want you to understand the current situation . Many organizations are interested in working with the Brotherhood . We should hit the iron while it is hot . ”
Lin Jie nodded . He thought about it for a while and said, “I’m not planning to accept any investment yet .
“Investments can make the guild to develop better and produce more capital . However, that’s not my goal for the guild . My goal is to make it so well-known that people will tremble in fear, hearing our name!”
Lin Jie paused for a while and added, “Currently, many members in the Brotherhood do not like being restrained by guild rules . But they are good . When they go around with the Brotherhood title, they can receive 50% additional money . That is our strength . ”
“Once we accept investments, we must give part of our share . That’s equivalent to giving others the right to control some of our freedom . In some cases, we may even work for them . That’s not what our Brotherhood stands for . ”
Zheng Ziliang frowned and said, “Jie, you might not understand this very well . I must tell you that any guild or organization needs a huge amount of money to develop in the future . If other guilds have investors and we don’t, it will be to our disadvantage . ”
“I’m aware of that . ” Lin Jie nodded .
“So, what’s the plan now? We wait and start building our own army? Or just us fighting all the way?”
“I’m already working on the army,” replied Lin Jie . “I have a plan to raise 300 men . But it is not easy, and it needs Uniform equipment, which will only appear after Level 50 . It’s not the time yet . ”

Uniform equipment, it was like the army uniform and sailor suits . It could be mass-produced and very strong . Lin Jie always had it at the back of his head .
“Since you already have a plan, then I will not say any more . ” Zheng Ziliang trusted his friend .
“Okay, guys, take it easy . I will accept the investment when the time comes . We have two pros here . ” Lin Jie patted Baili Changcheng and Ziliang Ziliang on the back . “By the way, I might disappear for a while . ”
They all replied, “No, prob . ”
“Erm, I said, I will disappear for some time,” repeated Lin Jie .
The rest reacted the same way .
It was too normal for Lin Jie to just disappear, so it was already a norm for them .
“Oh yeah, the official webpage says the fourth Main Plot Dungeon will start soon . Don’t be late,” said Netherblue .
“I know . Netherblue, gather the 300 at the North Gate of the City of Light . ”
At the North Gate of the City of Light .
Compared to the busy South-East Gate, the North Gate was much more peaceful . 70% of the nobles in the main city lived there . Currently, players did not have enough reputation for talking to them to trigger any mission . Thus, players would seldom be seen there .

Lin Jie wore the Lone Wolf Helmet and waited at the gate, looking at the nobles’ beautiful houses . Space Mages specially made those buildings, and the interior was much bigger than the buildings looked .
A player in black robes approached slowly . His steps were very heavy, just like his feelings right now .
He was Feng Yun 21 . He used to be well-known in his guild for having the Zerg Queen and his AOE buffs .
However, he had lost everything because of Lin Jie . After he had lost his Zerg Queen, he had been taken lightly in the guild and forced to make an unfair deal with Eighteen Massacres .
Lin Jie asked calmly, “Hello . What’s your level?”
Feng Yun stood still for a while and then replied, “50 . ”
“That’s nasty,” exclaimed Lin Jie .
There was a contract in the Dark Shrine specially made for Paladins and Priests who believed in the Holy Light . The more faithful they were, the stronger their fallen power—that was the rule of The New Age .
The contract Feng Yun had signed was called Eternal Sin . After signing, he had lost all his skills, and his level was kept at 50 . In return, he had gained the ability to summon strong Undead creatures . However, all the EXP he gained would transfer to these Undead creatures—that was the cost of becoming a Fallen .
Now, Feng Yun was not considered as a player, but his Undead creature was . It enjoyed all the benefits of a player! His Contract Summon was a Junior Hell Boy captured by Eighteen Massacres .
All the efforts Feng Yun had put became the Hell Boy’s benefits, and when it was strong enough, Eighteen Massacres would take it away from him . After that, Feng Yun would be useless .
Feng Yun said in despair, “All thanks to you?” He did not blame Lin Jie for what happened . He was just helpless and desperate .
Lin Jie nodded . “You chose the wrong side . I had to do this . You’d be in my way if I let you go freely . I believe that you are that strong . ”

“Is that a compliment?” asked Feng Yun .
“You can say that . Now, let’s talk business . You have lost everything you had, your resources, skills, and equipment . But, I can give them back to you, double . The only thing I cannot help is your Zerg Queen . But, I have something to make up for it . ”
“Amongst the Undead, your Hell Boy is ranked in the top 10 . Every cell is a little Devil by itself . Once it is fully grown, it can split into infinite Devils . It is an army on its own . As such, I made a plan . Take a look . ”
Lin Jie passed him the plan he had come up with . Feng Yun was a Paladin with AOE buffs . He used to fight with his Zerg Queen for its ability to reproduce quickly . Lin Jie used that as a basis and used it on his Hell Boy . It would take time and effort to make the plan work .
Feng Yun read it through carefully . After he was done, he sighed and said, “In the end, I’m just helping it to level up? I have an Eternal Sin on me . I cannot level up, remember?”
Lin Jie replied confidently, “Don’t worry about that . ”
Then, the 300 members with Orcs appeared .
“Boss!”
“Morning, leader!”
Everyone looked strong and powerful—it was the look of an undaunting army . However, they treated Lin Jie with respect .
“Brothers, come with me to a Level 80 map,” shouted Lin Jie . “This mission is very dangerous, and there is a 70% chance that you will die and level down . Take a moment to decide . I won’t blame you if you choose to quit now . BUT! If you mess up during the mission, you better pray hard! You have ten seconds to make your decision!”
Ten seconds went by in a blink .
All 300 chose to stay! None of them backed off! Rather, they were very excited!
