Chapter 122 - Unbeatable by Hundreds
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There were many kinds of idiots, but the worst kind would be to become an idiot for women.
In the eyes of the players from the God Shine Guild, Lin Jie was exactly the worst kind of idiots they had ever met. How could this puny Berserker dare to stand up against them?
Berserkers were known for their decrease in prowess after they changed their jobs, and at this stage, they were even worse off than Weapon Specialists. As the main power of Berserkers lied in ‘blood control’ and ‘explosion of strength’, the situation for them looked bleak especially when they were in the current stages—once their health bar was emptied, they would die immediately. It was needless to mention any ‘explosion of strength’.
The God Shine Guild players could not help but scorn when they saw that it was a Berserker who stood up against them.
“We just want a little ore, what’s all this commotion about?” A Weapon Specialist by the name of “Dragon Hair” laughed disdainfully. He took a step nearer to Lin Jie inconspicuously, shrugged and said, “Brother…”
Army Obliteration!
Lin Jie suddenly launched his attack! The wind howled against the surface of Broken Blade, and this move immediately killed the Weapon Specialist who did not even have time to activate a Roar skill!
The health bars of Shield Specialists at this stage were maximally capped off at 1,300 health points on average; Weapon Specialists’ health bars were even lesser. A Weapon Specialist with such mere health points actually dared to be arrogant in front of Lin Jie? That’s just simply looking for death!
“So much nonsense.” Lin Jie stepped on the wrist of the corpse. After a jingling noise, equipment fell out of the corpse! By the looks of it, that equipment should be Silver-grade. It was of too low standards for Lin Jie—he didn’t even bother to collect it.
Members of the God Shine Guild were slightly shocked. ‘Such high damage!’
However, this insolent fellow standing in front of them was just a mere Berserker! As long as everyone attacked him all at once, he would be dead meat!
“You have violated the dignity of the God Shine Guild. Today, at the Dark Iron Mountain, it will be your…” The team leader was making an announcement haughtily when Lin Jie rushed over without warning. His fully armored body was like a high-speed tank, and he slammed into the team leader with a deadly look in his eyes!
The team leader gave up on making his well-planned ‘powerful’ speech, and everything was reduced to three short words: “F*ck, kill him!”
There were a total of 22 players here. Eight were Warriors and Paladins, 12 were Mages, while the remaining two were Priests! Lin Jie’s eyes stared straight ahead towards the back of his opponents. His swords’ blades were already emitting wisps of cold air.
“You’re courting death!” screamed a Warrior and swiveled his big axe around in his hands. His body was levitated slightly into the air, and he made a great jump, activating Giant Leap-Slash!
Forward Charge!
Forward Charge!
Several Warriors closed up to Lin Jie, and their longswords stabbed at the gem positioned at Lin Jie’s chest.
Crisp music-like sounds produced by percussion instruments were heard, and the damage figures floated up gradually.
-41!
-20!
-5!
The God Shine Guild was horrified. ‘What kind of defense did this guy have?!’
The lowest damage was just only five points!
With seven swords jutting out from his chest, Lin Jie raised his head, and his eyes under the Wolf Head helmet gleamed in a ghostly and bloodthirsty manner. He curved up his lips in a cold smile, and the Dark Slaughter Longsword transformed itself into a huge block of black ice. With a great swept of the sword, all nearby players were frozen!
Hunter’s Forward Charge!
Lin Jie rushed to the back of the team!
Berserkers had another name, ‘Meat Grinders’—once they got to the protected back-end of any teams, no one would be able to stop them, and it would be like releasing a tiger into a flock of sheep!
Many Mages panicked at this sight, and they could not even chant their spells!
“Freeze him!” God Soldier shouted loudly, and a flash of blue light was emitted from his hands. The combination of Frostbolts and Frost Nova fell upon Lin Jie. His movement speed was reduced by 60%, and over time he might be frozen to the spot!
-47!
-55!
God Soldier looked at the damage in shock. ‘Was this really what was dealt out by me?’ Ever since he had gotten the Gold Ice-based wand he held in his hands now, the damage dealt out by his Frostbolts attacks would not be lower than 140 points. He was the player with the strongest output in his whole team!
However, he quickly calmed himself and ordered other Mages to control Lin Jie together with Ice spells!
Lin Jie faced the icy Frostbolts head on and moved slowly forward. The joints on his armor were soon covered with thick ice crystals.
His health bar decreased gradually. It was still too difficult for him to face so much Ice magic alone!
At this moment, the melee players were out of their stun. They charged at Lin Jie, yelling wildly!
“Continue to freeze him.” God Soldier smiled coldly. The most enjoyable moment for anyone who specialized in Ice magic would be this moment! Even if the opponent was strong and had a lot of HP, he would be unable to come nearer and be tortured to death in this manner!
Lin Jie’s movement speed had dropped by 90%! The controlling effects of the Ice spells had decreased his movement speed to almost 0!
Silent Grey Sky looked at the man who stood in front of her, bit her lips and, and took out her Miners Hoe resolutely.
“Heh heh, kid, die!” Several Warriors activated Forward Charge and stunned Lin Jie, laughing happily. “Ice Mages, continue to freeze him! The melee players back off, this kid’s attacks are very strange.”
God Soldier curved up his lips coldly, and his hands were condensed with ice, ready to activate another round of Frost Nova! However strong Lin Jie’s defense and resistance to Elemental Attacks were, it wouldn’t be able to hold off such a powerful series of Crowd Control attacks!
The range of Forward Charge was just 25 yards. As long as they maintained their distance from Lin Jie, they would be safe!
Lin Jie moved forward step by step, and with every step forward he endured a great amount of damage. Not only was his health bar dropping at high speed, but the surrounding voices were also more disturbing to him!
“Isn’t this such an epic fool? Hahaha.”
“Serves him right for trying to show off!”
“I am actually really interested in that beautiful miner. Aye, but I would rather keep my gaming levels than to provoke this guy.”
Lin Jie’s whole body was almost entirely covered by ice!
“Guard his corpse,” said God Soldier calmly. Frost Nova was completed!
At this moment!
The ice suddenly cracked opened, and Lin Jie shot out, despite having almost no HP at all! One could only see a dark shadow dashing past in the air, and in the blink of an eye, there was a deep hole in one of the Mages’ stomach! Not only that, but Lin Jie also cut off the heads of 10 other Mages at an unbelievable speed!
Lin Jie looked at God Soldier and revealed a cold smile. He was enraged now! Activating Wolf Run Swordsmanship and Hunter’s Forward Charge, he charged at him!
With multiple layers of speed increase effects, coupled with the bursting force of Blood Power, Lin Jie shot out like a bloody bullet!
God Soldier waved his wand, and a layer of ice was formed on the ground. This was the enhanced version of the Ice Path skill. As long as Lin Jie dared to step on it, he would be frozen!
Dong!
There was a crackling sound—Lin Jie had directly crushed the ice on the Ice Path!
“Blood Soul Multi-Slash!”
With a mild flash of light reflected by his swords, Lin Jie shot passed God Soldier and rushed to the Priest behind him!
When the Priest saw the longsword pierced into his chest, God Soldier’s corpse was just gradually falling down onto the ground.
-1,800!
The second attack of Blood Soul Multi-Slash had not even been dealt out at all!
“Oh my…”
“My goodness!”
The few Warriors left completely lost any will to fight him. All of them had panicked looks on their faces, and they were prepared to escape at any time!
Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared in front of Lin Jie’s eyes. He could not help but close his eyes.
There were Bandits around!
‘Such a powerful Bandit! He did not attack by the usual way, but instead used the sun’s reflection to limit my vision field for half a second.’
Half a second was enough for a Bandit to deal out combo attacks!
Lin Jie hurriedly changed to another position, and he got ready to activate the Rocket Launcher…
Clang!
There was a loud bang!
Lin Jie turned and found that the Bandit who wore a Brotherhood helmet was looking at him dizzily.
-1,247!
He quickly thrust out his sword, and the Bandit’s body flew out.
In front of Lin Jie, unsettledness was written all over Silent Grey Sky’s face. She held on to her Miners Hoe, panting heavily. She was the person who knocked down hard on the back of the Bandit’s head.
Lin Jie took a look at the rest of the players at the scene and dragged his swords on the ground as he walked in the direction of the town. No one dared to follow him!
When Lin Jie and Silent Grey Sky were gone, the crowd burst into commotion!
“This warrior is so strong! Is this the power of a Berserker?”
“Yes, he is a Berserker! Berserkers are actually so powerful? Oh man, I feel like deleting my account!”
“He’s simply magnificent!”
With his iron wall-like defense capabilities, the scary damage and the powerful attacks after he was enraged, Lin Jie had completely exhibited the true prowess of a Berserker which was originally deemed as a disadvantageous job. From now on, this group of players would forever remember how strong a Berserker could get!
What Lin Jie did not expect was that someone wrote a post about his abilities and posted it onto the players’ forum. This actually made many Warriors decide to change to a Berserker when they changed their jobs!
“Thanks.”
On the way back to town, there was silence between the two of them, until Silent Grey Sky finally spoke.
Lin Jie was amused. “Since you want to thank me, how about giving me a gift?”
“Gift? What gift?” Silent Grey Sky looked up at that moment and happened to gaze into Lin Jie’s eyes which were covered under the Wolf’s Head. She averted his gaze hurriedly and commented, “Isn’t a simple ‘thanks’ enough for you?”
Lin Jie said seriously, “You can give me the Weighted Concentrated Dark Ore, I need it for forging equipment.”
Silent Grey Sky shook her head in disbelief. “Don’t you have anything else to say?”
Lin Jie blinked his eyes. “Surely you are not going to charge me for the ores? How about at least giving me a discount then? The market price for this item is too expensive, I don’t have so many gold coins…”
“Ah, take it, just take them all!” Silent Grey Sky couldn’t help but roll her eyes secretly as she passed all the dark ores to Lin Jie. There was a total of 21 pieces! This was far more than Lin Jie had expected!
This was a rare ore to be mined. At this stage, the entire amount of dark ores in the whole market would most probably be less than half of what Lin Jie held in his hands now!
In Lin Jie’s previous life, that particular site had been occupied by the God Shine Guild. Lin Jie always thought that it was just a normal mining site, but never did he expect there was such a large amount of Associated Rare Ores there! No wonder there was no news about this site in his previous life, the God Shine Guild had kept it hidden well!
“Er… thank you.” Lin Jie took the ores and mumbled two words.
These ores were worth dozens of gold coins! That would be a large amount of money to be earned.
“Nothing else from you?” Silent Grey Sky was exasperated at his reaction.
Lin Jie pondered for a while, took out “The Secret Records of Dwarfish Forging” book, and gave it to her.
“Heavens, how did you get your hands on this?” exclaimed Silent Grey Sky. For professional Living job gamers like her, this was equivalent to a skill book that had 20 high-level skills recorded in it!
“Oh yeah, did you mine that much ore to forge equipment and then earn money?” asked Lin Jie.
“Nope, I just like the mining process! Plus, I don’t like to join any guild, so I’ve been mining alone all this time.”
Lin Jie mulled over her words and got where she was coming from. After all, if not for their extreme interest in certain aspects of Living jobs, many professional Living job gamers would have been tempted by the huge gains to be made by Living jobs in the game. It was difficult to withstand the loneliness of practicing the boring Living skills to get proficient at them.
“Hmm… will you be interested in joining our team? I can provide you with a lot of Middle and Superior mine sites’ coordinates.”
“Really?” Silent Grey Sky brightened up at this comment, and asked excitedly, “How long can your information last me?”
Lin Jie began to count the ore resource sites he remembered from his past life. There were many resources for mining in the early stages of the game. After the game’s expansion pack was launched, the coordinates of those mining sites became extremely complicated, but information about the Associated Rare Ores was refreshed frequently. Fortunately, Lin Jie could remember most of that information, so that would mean…
“Okay, it should be able to last you for a lifetime,” said Lin Jie earnestly.
“Okay, then deal!” Silent Grey Sky replied with a smile.
“Right from this moment onwards, you will be a slave owner.”
“Huh, a slave owner?” Lin Jie stared at her quizzically.
“Yeah, of course. Master, slave girl here will do whatever you command!” Silent Grey Sky put out her tongue and licked her lips seductively.
Lin Jie jumped from shock, and went offline decisively!
