Reborn: Super God of War Chapter 381 - The Reward

Chapter 381: The Reward

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“A wise man submits to fate, welcome to the Brotherhood.” Lin Jie smiled and reached out his hand to Skyscraper, which made him feel flattered. He thanked Lin Jie again and again and seemed like he felt even more glorious than beating a game.
Lin Jie glanced at the audience, smiled, and slowly withdrew to the judges’ seat. He raised his right hand and said, “Let the competition continue. The final battle is fair. Everyone can win the top three seats with their own abilities. Work harder.”
The crowd around spewed out a mouthful of blood. ‘Damn!’
Lone Wolf not only had great power, but he also had a face, which was as think as the Great Wall of China! He had killed and chased the opponents of the Brotherhood away, giving no chance to explain, and now he dared to talk about fairness? This was very shameless!
Of course, this was the thought of the minorities. For the majority, their top-most thought was to join the Brotherhood as soon as possible, so that they could be protected by Lin Jie. Ordinary people were mostly fence-sitters, and Lin Jie was the strong wind. As soon as he blew, those people would change their sides.
The battle continued as Savage Blade’s members were fighting for the top 3. Although the battle was intense, no one used their full strength. Who would fight so hard with their teammates since the rewards were already in their bags? Besides, they had plenty of time to learn from one another in private. Now, it was not worth the loss to reveal their last cards in full view of the public.
In the meantime, Lin Jie was sitting in the judge’s seat with his eyes slightly closed, dealing with some other matters.
He could only disturb the Final Battle of the Guild of Light for this once. From the second round of the Final Battle, the status of the players would begin to improve greatly. They would no longer be “cheap labor” and “cheap mercenaries” in the NPCs’ eyes, and they would become existences akin to saviors. The system would give as many protections and rewards to them as possible.
The first round of Final Battle was only of a very small scale.
Hence, Lin Jie had seized the opportunity and won all the rewards of the Final Battle! Although he was domineering and even inhumane, which would bring him some negative influences, Lin Jie believed that the pros outweighed the cons.
For example, there were more than 20 second and third-class guilds that had applied to join the Brotherhood to become subsidiaries. They’d become prosperous or fall together with the Brotherhood.
Gathering guilds to be the subsidiaries was like asking the bandits to settle down and work for the ancient country that had just leveled their place to the ground. In times of war, they would be thrown out as cannon fodder. If they disobeyed, they would be killed!
Lin Jie accepted all these guilds’ applications.
“Leader Lone Wolf, I’m Skyscraper. I have something to discuss with you.” At that time, Skyscraper sent him a message.
Lin Jie smiled as he had been expecting this scene for a long time. He said, “Oh, it’s Brother Skyscraper. What’s the matter?”
Lin Jie’s enthusiasm was out of Skyscraper’s expectation. Whether in the video or the Final Battle, Lin Jie had been extremely domineering. But unexpectedly, he was so kind to him. Was it because he had given up the battle voluntarily? It must be!
Sure enough, as long as one showed his devotion, Lone Wolf would not be their enemy and would even offer protection.
Skyscraper thought about the wording for a while and said, “We, the Neptune, would like to join the Brotherhood. But in addition, we hope that you can open an authority for us… Maybe you don’t know about the distinctiveness of Neptune…”
Lin Jie’s eye flashed, and he asked, “You want to make use of the power of Brotherhood to secretly gather the players of Neptune so that you can seize control of it?”
“Yes, Neptune is the NPCs’ guild. Although the players in the guild can get more benefits, we’re still puppets. It’s very difficult to get out of their control with our own strength.”
Lin Jie turned silent.
Skyscraper was nervous. He held his breath and waited for Lin Jie’s answer.
“Okay.” Lin Jie nodded and said, “When I become the City Leader of the City of Light, I’ll find a reason to attack the City of Sea King and kill these NPCs. Since they want to make use of you, I can use them as well.”
“What? The City Leader of the City of Light?” exclaimed Skyscraper. After realizing that his reaction was not appropriate, he hurriedly lowered his volume and said respectfully, “Thank you so much, Leader Lone Wolf.”
“No problem. After you have sorted out the name list, send it to me, and I’ll arrange this matter later.”
“Yes.”
After dealing with that matter, Lin Jie felt a sense of happiness from being able to control everything.
As soon as he received the appointment from the City of Light, he would prepare to expand the city before the players had the ability to siege the city!
At this time, the Final Battle was coming to an end.
Baili Changcheng won the first place with his amazing Elemental Swordsmanship.
Wantless got second place, followed by Qiu Yuan.
But none of those mattered as the rewards had long been in Brotherhood’s pockets. As Lin Jie covered the sky with one hand and expelled the enemies, he not only won the top ten rewards but also set up a flag of “invincible”.
—System announcement: Congratulations to player Baili Changcheng for winning the first place. He is rewarded with Level +2, Main City Reputation 1,000. Congratulations to Baili Changcheng for being rewarded with the Dark Gold Fragment [Rory’s Elemental Armor], and an additional reward of [Enrage Greaves]!
—System announcement: Congratulations to player Wantless for winning the second place. He is rewarded with Level +1, Main City Reputation 500. Congratulations to Wantless for being rewarded with the Dark Gold Item [Executor’s Arcane Cape]!
—System announcement: Congratulations to player Qiu Yuan for winning the third place. She is rewarded with Level +1, Main City Reputation 500. Congratulations to Qiu Yuan for being rewarded with the Dark Gold Fragment [Guardian of Sun and Moon’s Dagger]!
…
System announcements spammed crazily, and the attributes of the equipment were made to pictorials for the players to view freely. The saliva drooled by the players could circle the earth for dozens of times. The most terrible thing was that the Brotherhood had collected those rewards! The strength of this powerful organization had scaled new heights.
Baili Changcheng was full of joy when he was rewarded with the Dark Gold Fragment until he saw the reward Wantless had obtained.
[Executor’s Arcane Cape] (Dark Gold)
Requires: Level 30
Defense: 29-45
Wisdom: +60
Spirit: +35
Chanting Speed: +10, with an additional 20% increase for the chanting of Arcane skills
Additional effect: When being attacked, 20% of the damage can be nullified with Mana Points.
Additional effect: For every cast of Arcane, there is a 10% chance to cast the next with no consumption.
Special Skill: [Arcane Devour]. The Arcane Whirlpool will devour all targets within 50 yards, casting 10% damage and converting this damage to your Mana Points.
Note: The lost Cape of “Solmer”, who usually loafs around the Stinky Mountain. He seems to be eagerly searching for it.
“This is unbelievable! It was me who won the first place, how could you possibly be rewarded with a whole piece of Dark Gold equipment when mine was only a fragment?” Baili Changcheng was depressed and turned around, trying to find some confidence. “Qiu Yuan, how’re the attributes of your Dark Gold Fragment?”
Qiu Yuan chuckled and stretched four fingers out. “I know you want to know its quality only. This equipment has four fragments.”
“…Mine has two only. What kind of first place is this?” Baili Changcheng mumbled and grinned, “Fortunately, I have an additional reward. Let me see this Enrage Greaves… F*ck…”
“I knew there was something wrong from its name. Now it proved me right, hahaha…” Fat Cattle, who could not resist the attacks of Star Kill at all, burst into laughter. As people could only see a ball of meat quivering, all of them stepped back, afraid of getting too close.
Baili Changcheng threw a pair of heavy boots at Lin Jie hatefully.
The Greaves were gray and mottled, like bare granite, dotted with a trace of dark yellow, looking just like a pair of stone boots.
“This is…” Lin Jie was excited. He held this item in his hand and checked.
[Enrage Greaves] (Dark Gold, Heavy Armor]
Requires: Level 30, Strength: 300 and above
Defense: 30-65
Strength: +45
Agility: +30
Movement Speed: +12
Additional effect: Grade of Forward Charge will be leveled up by 1. When your attack hits the enemy, you will receive a 5% increase in Movement Speed, which can be stacked to 30% at most.
Additional effect: When being attacked by movement restriction skills, your Movement Speed will increase by 20% in the next 3 seconds.
Additional effect: For every jump you make, there is a 10% to 50% additional Leap-Slash damage for your next attack.
Special skill: [Enrage Haste]. You can ignore any movement restriction skills and terrains, and have a 100% increase in Movement Speed, which will last for 3 seconds. Every attack of yours will continue this effect for 0.5 seconds, which can be stacked to 5 seconds at most.
Enrage Greaves, also known as “Mad Dog’s Boots”. As the name implied, once equipped, one would fight like a mad dog, chasing people around! As one attacked the target, their own Movement Speed would skyrocket. If stacked to the maximum value, they would be like a Bandit who used Rush at all times!
Besides those special methods of getting the Enrage Greaves, it could only be produced by one place—the Warrior Mentor! After killing the Warrior Mentor, there was a 0.1% chance of bursting Enrage Greaves. In Lin Jie’s previous life, there had only been 3 pairs of Enrage Greaves in the whole game, and they had not been at The New Age, which meant that they had been held by the players of other countries.
Lin Jie was overjoyed, while Baili Changcheng was full of helplessness. It was not easy to win the first prize. However, the additional equipment he had gotten was as if it had been personalized for Lin Jie. How could he not feel depressed? But there was no anger in his heart. It was like a few kids had gathered together. After they picked up the candy they found, it was satisfying enough when they had a share, no matter how much each got.
At the moment when the Final Battle ended, Lin Jie’s body shone with gold.
—”You have received the exclusive reward of judges, Level +1, Final Battle Gift Bag*30.”
“Hmph, it’s time to examine my good luck again.” Lin Jie took out all the Gift Bags and opened them all.
—”You received Middle-Grade Recovery Potion*5.”
—”You have received 50 silver coins.”
—”You received [Fine Steel Broom] (Silver).”
—”You received [Summoning Stone of Death Knight].”
