Chapter 257: Mentor’s TrialTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The vast amount of experience points from the Epidemic Pond allowed Lin Jie’s level to increase directly to level 30, while the levels of the others were also raised to around level 29!
Starting from level 30, it was the dividing line where players could find their own mentors to obtain their job-changing mission, the job-changing mission’s rewards were extraordinarily rich and would have a huge influence on the job change.
One could accept a job-changing mission every 30 levels.
The one thing different in which the job-changing mission and quests were divided was that besides the five grades, there was still also an “epic grade”. The so-called epic mission was to find people remains, martial arts, which had appeared in history, or the truth of some historical event and so on.
Want to have something to do with the epic missions? One not only needed to have great luck, but once the mission was accepted, all the more it tested the skills of the player!
“After reaching level 30, go back and prepare to do the job-changing mission. Those that have not reached level 30, new dungeons will gradually be released as the Epidemic Pond is being cleared, so if you are interested, you can go and farm those dungeons,” said Lin Jie.
Bu Yi asked meekly, “Is there no other dungeons? The Epidemic Pond dungeon’s Bosses are all so disgusting.”
Indeed, due to that Lei Zhika bast*rd’s abnormal pernicious habits, no matter the appearances of the small monsters or the Boss, they were quite bold; even the bests exposed their upper bodies and did not have heads. None of them were human-like at all, and in addition, the scene of Lin Jie suddenly jumping into the Boss’ stomach at that last moment, created the urgent need for a wave of normal Bosses to calm themselves down.
Lin Jie scratched his head and said, “The dungeons with higher EXP are normally Undead-types… Oh right, if you like to see beauties, then you can go to City of Elves and find the Great Druid Malafic. He is in charge of guarding the Elf dungeon, but as a Druid, they always are unwilling to take others’ life. You can go and ask about the situation of the Elf dungeon, and you will activate a hidden mission [Clean Up Elf Dungeon], the monsters that spawn in there are all beautiful Night Elves.”
“Oh?”
“That’s a great place! Let’s go, go, go, let’s go and clear the Elf dungeon!”
“Let’s go, let’s go!”
Once they heard that it was perfectly justifiable for them to be able to go to another race’s land and see Elves, the few men instantly turned into wolves howling, prepared to set off.
Meanwhile, Baili Changcheng looked at Lin Jie. He smiled and said, “I’m preparing to create my own guild, I don’t even know how to tell you, but I hope you can understand since after I create my guild, I may not be able to join team activities anymore.”
“Joining team activities and creating a guild do not clash,” said Lin Jie as he chuckled.
Baili Changcheng was stunned. He patted Lin Jie on his shoulder heavily and nodded before saying, “You’re right, as long as we, Savage Blade, are going to clear a dungeon, inform me, I’ll always answer the call.”
“Got it!”
“Alright, I’ll also follow them and go to City of Elves to take a look around the Elf dungeon.” Baili Changcheng chuckled, but then his expression suddenly turned serious. “And also take a look… How the Three Alliances is developing.”
Lin Jie’s face also darkened. Talking about the Three Alliances, then one would definitely think of Kingdom of Glory, and also Eighteen Massacres… That dark black blade was always in Lin Jie’s mind.
‘Forget it, let’s do the job-changing mission first! Rumors say that Eighteen Massacres directly received a high-level job skill book, he’ll have to try harder too!’
After equipping the Blasphemer’s Necklace, Lin Jie’s stats once again increased exponentially and now, Lin Jie’s stats were as followed:
Fu Sheng: [Human Warrior]
Level 30
HP: 3,120
Attack: 610-727
]Defense: 533
Strength: 405
Endurance: 176
Agility: 40
Wisdom: 3
Spirit: 3
Willpower: 16
Grit: 1
Block:15
Parry: +5%
A necklace that was purely an attacking-type, it was equal to Lin Jie equipping another weapon! Although he had lost the Life-Steal attribute of the Wolf Soul Necklace, just talking about violent output, the Dark Gold necklace was much more powerful.
After returning to the Provisions shop, he just gave all the potion recipes that were dropped by Lei Zhika to Seven Ears and Potion Maniac.
The three recipes were [Petrification Potion Recipe], [Middle-Grade Elemental Fluctuation Recipe], and [Faked Death Potion Recipe]. Lin Jie hurriedly rushed the two of them to make 20 Faked Death Potion.
[Faked Death Potion]: Allows you to temporarily enter the state of false death and avoid detection from monsters, the effects are decided by the level and attributes of the monsters.
The Faked Death Potion’s effect was similar to the exclusive skill of Hunters “False Death”, after drinking it, one would temporarily stop all breathing and signs of life. Once one entered the false death state, it could temporarily have the effect of losing aggro.
However, it could only be used at very particular timings. Monsters were not idiots, just foolishly ignoring a corpse they saw on the ground and walking past it. Players must drink the potion in the instant they were attacked by the monster and create the facade that they were killed by the monster in one shot.
Also, no matter what, definitely one should not use these types of potions in front of flesh-eating monsters like Carrion Vulture, Scavenging Hyena, and so on, or else these groups of monsters that loved to eat corpses would have intimate contact with you.
Originally Lin Jie wanted to enhance his equipment, but in the end, he was informed that the little loli had been called to go for remedial classes. That shocked Lin Jie beyond words, so he could only put it off until a few days later to enhance his equipment.
They were all ready to set off!
Lin Jie headed towards where his Warrior mentor was.
The Warrior mentor exposed his muscles and revealed his robust body to the beautiful Hunter mentor. He smiled in a handsome manner and said, “Miya, how about we go to Sakura’s bar for a drink? My treat.”
Lin Jie was stunned. ‘Clever guy looks like even NPCs know that the success rate is higher in bars!’
“Cough, cough, mentor, I’m here to accept my job-changing mission.” Lin Jie saw that the beautiful Hunter mentor looked troubled, so he hurriedly went up and changed the topic.
Ding~
—’Hunter mentor Miya’s favorability of you has increased by 100.”
Lin Jie chuckled, this favorability was so easy to gain.
The Warrior mentor named Reggie was a high-level Warrior. He was very unhappy with Lin Jie’s impolite action, but since Lin Jie could be counted as his junior or even his disciple, it was not to the extent of dropping favorability. However, if it was people like Eighteen Massacres, who had exceptionally low favorability with his mentor as a result of his own actions, then congratulations, the word miserable would describe his life afterward.
Reggie took a look at Lin Jie’s equipment and instantly revealed a shocked expression. He then gave a cold sneer and said, “Your strength is indeed enough to accept the job-changing mission. The kingdom has offered a reward for the three wicked monsters before, if you can kill one of them, then it will be counted as you having passed my trial!”
Ding~
—’Do you accept this mission [Mentor’s Trial]?”
Mission description: You have requested to accept the job-changing mission, but before this, you must pass the Warrior mentor Reggie’s trial. The Guild of Light has offered a reward for three ferocious beasts. They are the Shallow Water’s Devourer•Crazy Flood Dragon, the Dark Shadow Wolf•Kimida, Stray•Emilia. Kill any one of them, then come back to find the mentor.
At that moment, Hunter mentor was displeased and said, “Reggie, what you’re doing is purposely making the trial difficult for him! Shallow Water’s Devourer•Crazy Flood Dragon, the Dark Shadow Wolf•Kimida, and Stray•Emilia are all wild beasts that have demonized and have devoured a whole order of knights. What you’re doing is just sending him to his death! Even if it was the Stray•Emilia, she has also slaughtered countless of ships in the deep seas and cut off countless goods. The last time the Guild of Marine Freedom had even brought a Killer Whale to kill Stray, but what was the result? Everyone, including the beast they brought, all died!
“Young adventurer, normally the trial mission would not be of such a high difficulty, he is purposely raising the difficulty of the trial! I will make him release a new mission for you,” said the Hunter mentor solemnly.
Lin Jie could not help but marvel at the mentor who was totally like the goddess!
Reggie sneered and said, “As a Warrior, what one needs the most is courage! You, as long as you dare to accept this mission and bring back any evidence that can prove you have fought with the monster, no matter if you have a broken arm, I will give you the best reward! Expert-level job-changing mission!”
Lin Jie’s eyeballs turned. and he asked, “What if I accidentally kill the ferocious beast?”
“Ah? Hahahahaha!” The Warrior mentor burst into laughter. “If you can kill the ferocious beast, then I will give you an exceptional reward, exceeding the best reward and even teach you a skill that you can’t learn even if you search the whole Mainland for free! If you can kill all the ferocious beasts, then this item will be yours! But the question is, can you do it? Hahahaha.”
A scroll flashed past, that was the Secret Techniques of Clomaros!
Lin Jie’s pupils constricted, so one of the scrolls of the Secret Techniques of Clomaros was in the hands of the Warrior mentor!
“Alright, I accept it! I want to go and kill the Stray•Emilia, but I lack the method of going out to the seas, Lord mentor could I please ask you to provide me with a little help?” asked Lin Jie respectfully.
“Hmph, this is the common currency used in the Guild of Marine Freedom, here are 100 coins for you, go!”
Ding~
—’You have received Marine Currency x100.’
[Marine Currency]: There is only the guild’s exclusive currency out in the sea, you can use the Marine Currency to exchange items in the Guild of Marine Freedom.
Mentor Miya helplessly shook her head and then waved her hand, signaling to him. “Adventurer, I know a young ship captain, follow me, I will ask him to bring you out to sea.”
“Thank you! Thank you!” Lin Jie hurriedly thanked her and followed behind the beautiful Hunter mentor. Her clothes were filled with the wild beauty, especially her miniskirt that was made of leopard skin that covered up her bronze-colored healthy and sexy bubble hip, it bounced with each step, simply making one suffocate.
Lin Jie self-claimed himself as an upright gentleman, of course, he would not act like a pervert. Thus, he calmly faced forward, raised his head high, and puffed out his chest, striding forward proudly, which was highly commended by the Warrior mentor at one side.
Ding~
—’Warrior mentor Reggie’s favorability of you has increased by 200.’
‘Wow, hahaha, this is the charm of a woman! No man can resist the charms of a beautiful woman. This was proved true since ancient times.’
Lin Jie chuckled, the Silver-Feathered Eagle flew at a low altitude, and its eagle eyes were staring at the bubble butt of Miya without blinking.
City of Light’s port.
Countless ships gathered and left here. The types of ships were diverse such as sailboats, cargo ships, military ships, and so on. Many players that were learning skills such as ship sailing, ship repair, or trading were wandering around.
Miya brought Lin Jie to the side of a young Elf and introduced, “This is Pleater, a mid-level Navigator. He is a ship captain with very rich experience.”
Pleater wore a slanted straw hat, his long Elf ears twitched around playfully, but his tender and delicate face was extremely serious. He waved his hand and asked, “You want to go out to sea?”
Lin Jie nodded. “Yes.”
“No problem, I can bring you out to sea!” Pleater made threatening gestures and then slammed his hand on the table heavily. “But I need sailors! Half a month ago, all my sailor brothers were swallowed by that damn Stray•Emilia! You, as long as you can help me find enough sailors, I can let her bring you out to sea!”
Lin Jie was stunned. “Her?”
“Yes, her.” Pleater pointed at that big ship at the port in the distance, and his eyes revealed an infatuated expression in his eyes. “Her name is Gloria, but what a pity her body is full of scars now…”
Lin Jie’s heart thumped, he could feel that the Elf in front of him definitely had many interesting missions!
