Teleportation Checklist: Teleportation costs 9 silver coins, activation of the deserted teleportation circle costs 25 gold coins. (Note: When you have activated the deserted teleportation circle, 10% of the teleportation fee generated by this teleportation circle within the next 3 months will be your reward.)

Lin Jie: “~!@#¥%….&.”

Which senseless soul would deliberately teleport to this god-forsaken Desolate Town, where ghosts were common occurrences?

Regardless, Lin Jie could only accept his fate. On the bright side, he was finally back! Luckily, he managed to gather information about Cade—just after getting off his navy ship, the Paladin was called to join a large-scale war, which had arisen from the front line battle between the Tribe of Darkness and Guild of Light. It seemed like Cade, who was the Knight Leader, had no time to capture Lin Jie.

“Fantastic! Fantastic news! Looks like my luck is on a roll today!” Lin Jie activated the Roll points function, and after rolling 3 consecutive 6 points, he nodded and concluded that his luck had reached its peak.

Naga’s Package, open!

Ding~

—”Congratulations, you have received a Skill Book: Enchanted Scaly Armor!”

Skill Book: Enchanted Scaly Armor

Casting Resource: Health Points (HP)

Skill Description: Transformation of the user’s blood into the Cursed Hardened Scale, which increases Defense and Mana Defense. When the user is injured, every 3% HP loss will be converted to a 1% additional Defense. Whenever the user injects his/her HP, every 2% HP loss will be converted to 1% of additional Defense.

Job Restriction: None

“Hahahahaha! Great!” Lin Jie chuckled loudly, successfully catching the passersby’s attention.

Enchanted Scaly Armor was the enhanced version of Naga’s gifted ability of Hardened Scale, and Naga Gion was also capable of using this skill. However, its effect was only boosting Fixed Defense by 300 points, which was incomparable to the Enchanted Scaly Armor.

However, there were no negative effects at all when the Nagas used this skill. There was no accurate measure for comparison between the two skills, and it was up to the user’s own discretion.

However, to Lin Jie, the significance of the Enchanted Scaly Armor was far greater! It provided a means for him to buckle! Lin Jie was a Berserker who possessed the superimposing skill—Blood Power. The lower his health points, the higher was the damage he would cause. Furthermore, his Strength Judgement would increase startlingly as well.

For instance, that time when subduing Silent Killer, if Master Blue had not attacked and caused Lin Jie to suffer and bleed profusely, he would never have so much strength. Often, Lin Jie had to resort to self-harm to lower his health points. But now, equipped with the Enchanted Scaly Armor, his health points reduction methods had been enriched and diversified.

Not to forget, Lin Jie had an exceptionally high Defence Score. Being well-equipped with the Kiara Beast King Armor and the Dark Gold Armor, Lin Jie was on par with players from every job, excluding Shield Specialists and Guardian Paladins. Now, with the addition of the Enchanted Scaly Armor, Lin Jie was even stronger!

Everything was going really smoothly. The moment Lin Jie was wondering how to increase his Defense Ability, this rare skill presented itself. In the midst of happiness, Lin Jie opened Cade’s Space Package and pulled out a smooth and circular stone.

[Holy Light Stone of Grace]: The user can release the Holy Light of Grace, creating a Land of Grace within 40 yards, which is able to harbor souls.

This exact stone, the Portable Grave, was the one Cade had used to attack and almost killed him! Holy Light Stone of Grace had a large variety of practical uses, such as revival and corpse-guarding.

Fiddling with the Holy Light Stone of Grace, Lin Jie stood in front of Warrior Mentor. The mentor that was awaiting him was the beautiful Hunter Mentor Miya, instead of that mentor with the unkempt mustache. She praised, with astonishment in her voice, “Adventurer, you dared to kill the Stray? How formidable!”

Lin Jie smiled sheepishly. “You flatter me, I was just lucky. Oh right, where’s the Warrior Mentor?”

“Him?” Mentor Miya hugged her arms, exerting a push that showcased her ample cleavage, and replied lightly, “He left.”

“Left?” Lin Jie intuitively felt a sense of danger arising. “Where did he go?”

“He went to pick flowers.”

“The Half-Hour Flower?”

Miya blinked in surprise and nodded. “How did you know?”

“Oh, no!” Lin Jie rushed out and summoned Tiger King Bangalash. Bangalash’s roar shook the forests, and its sheer impact caused several warriors to fall off their white horses as the horses dropped to their knees and trembled in fear and awe.

One leap of the Tiger King covered 5 meters!

Lin Jie hustled the Tiger King on, towards the Qifeng Mountain outside of the city, in fear of being one second too late.

Reggie, the Warrior Mentor, had headed for the Qifeng Mountain just because of Miya’s casual joke the previous night. She had said that if he could let her have a glance at the Half-Hour Flower, she would sleep with him for one night. The Warrior Mentor might have a fiery temper, but he was also head over heels for Mentor Miya. Thus, he had immediately traveled through the night just because of the “promise” made by Miya.

The Half-Hour Flower, as the name suggested, only had an appreciation period of half an hour between its full bloom and wilting. It also required extreme conditions for growth. Qifeng Mountain was the only location near City of Light that had this kind of flower. Furthermore, dawn was the only time when it would bloom; any later, it would be a long wait.

The bandits on Qifeng Mountain were merely Level 10-ish and were of no challenge for the Warrior Mentor. However, Lin Jie was worried about something else—the serial killings at City of Light!

This was an Interlocked Mission, and any player was eligible to participate. In the previous lifetime, this mission had attracted hundreds of thousands of participants to solve it, but all had failed, with no knowledge of the one responsible.

One of the victims had been Reggie. He had died beneath the Qifeng Mountain, next to the Half-Hour Flower, his cause of death had been unknown.

If he died, Lin Jie’s Epic Occupation was probably going to fall through! Although there would be a new mentor, being unfamiliar with the new mentor’s temperament would make it hard to activate the Epic Job Mission.

“Faster, faster! I must save him!” Lin Jie was consumed by panic, coupled with fidgets and mumbling. If only Speed Potions worked on mounts, he would have stuffed a dozen bottles into the Tiger King’s mouth.

Sizzle—

As Lin Jie reached the foot of Qifeng Mountain, vines sprouted beneath the paws of the Tiger King, and with a hefty pull, the Tiger King was dragged down to the ground, causing Lin Jie to be flung out harshly. He rolled many times on the ground before crashing into the tree with a thud.

-102!

Lin Jie’s abdomen was injured, but at the same time, a piece of rigid scale grew out of the injury; evidently, this was the Enchanted Scaly Armor.

“Bandit!” Lin Jie hollered. “Which idiot is it this time?”

Bang!

An explosion erupted, hitting the back of Lin Jie’s head, and a dagger sliced his neck in one swift downward motion.

Cold Blood!

-356!

The wound recovered rapidly, and scales grew while Lin Jie’s Defense continued to rise. The Bandit’s attacks were toilsome and bizarre, leaving zero chances for Lin Jie’s retaliation.

Lin Jie scanned and took in his surroundings to identify the position and number of Bandits present. There were at least 20! Judging from the damage from that attack, he would need a Gold Suit, at least!

“If this was the past, I would have been frightened if you all ganged up on me. But now, you’re knocking on death’s door!” Lin Jie roared ferociously, veins popping from his muscles, and were gradually stained red, causing the blood flow beneath to turn visible. Lin Jie’s health points were rapidly sucked away and injected into his skin. A cracking sound was heard, and a piece of onyx scale sprouted out of his muscle.

“Enchanted Scaly Armor! Ahhhh!” Lin Jie pierced his Broken Blade viciously into the ground and hollered, “All of you, come out!”

The Enchanted Scaly Armor was out in full force, and Lin Jie plummeted from 3,000 to 300 points—a 90% loss in health points! He was fully enveloped in charcoal black outward-pointing scales, and his Defense soared up from 180 points to a total of 720 points!

The Bandits’ attacks probably totaled at only 300 points. Even if they had the method to work past his Defense, they would not be able to pierce through Lin Jie’s scaled armor.

“Kill him! Retreat after obtaining Broken Blade!”

The Bandits, however, did not know what on earth had happened to Lin Jie. They had witnessed how fast his health points depleted, and now, it was the best time to kill him! The Bandits coordinated their attacks: 5 of them to hold him down, 5 more to break through his scales, and the last 10 to land the damaging hit!

Ding~ Ding~ Ding~

The daggers and Lin Jie collided, clinking noises ringing. Above Lin Jie’s head, numbers that seemed to mock his opponents began to generate…

-2!-1!-1!

Having a Defense value that was twice the Attack value was basically a one-way road to despair and near impossible!

“This is impossible! Hold him down and kill him at once!” shouted the leader of the Bandits. Then, he sneak-attacked Lin Jie, which sent him into a dizzy spell for 2 seconds. All the Bandits attacked at once with Cold Blood, Ambush, Shadow Attack, Pierce Bone, and so on.

-1!-3!-1!-1!

Within 2 seconds, near to a hundred numbers floated above Lin Jie’s head. The only blood strip on him seemed so forlorn!

“Are you guys done?” Lin Jie glared and asked coldly.

“You… Run!” The leader of the pack made an instant and wise choice to retreat. Unfortunately, he was too late! Flames had crept up onto Broken Blade, and with the Blade Aura being as ready as ever, Lin Jie raised his blade, and the flames began to exude in all directions!

-1,928!-846!-1,922!

“What on earth is this damage?”

“Is this still human? There must be a BUG, this person must be a BUG!”

The Bandits howled with grief—there was only death awaiting them once the series of attacks was released! Those that barely survived were left to tremble in fear but had to forcefully enter Stealth Mode and activate Gale Steps in order to escape in time.

Lin Jie was encased in onyx scales, resembling a Dragon God. He watched them escape with coldness seeping from his eyes. He would be able to catch up, but his current priority was not to kill! After gathering up all the Gold items, which were scattered on the ground, without as much of a glance, Lin Jie hurried towards the peak of Qi Feng Mountain.

At the mountain top, a beautiful flower was in full bloom. Its petals encompassed the colors of the rainbow, vibrant yet psychedelic. However, at the next moment, it began to wilt into a pile of rotten soil.
