“Get a Priest to revive them,” repeated Lin Jie faintly.

A young player that looked to be around 17-years-old ran up from the crowd to revive the three girls.

During friendly matches, players would be automatically revived after they died. However, when they participated in death matches in arenas, players would have to cast revival spells on their own.

Horror and fear filled the eyes of Cyan Fly, Rainbow Bug, and Pink Mosquito. They had already used their most powerful moves, but they had still been unable to block one move from Lone Wolf?

“Kekeke~” Cyan Fly began laughing as she winked at Lin Jie. “Leader Lone Wolf is indeed strong, seems like we know who the champion for the final tournament this year will be. I shall congratulate you ahead of time on your victory. Everyone seems to have enjoyed this chaotic mess, us three sisters shall make a move first…”

“Leave? There is no rush for that, you three still owe me a day of pole-dancing. If we set it up at the Sky Provisions’ Shop, and I charge 1 bronze coin per person who watches it, I will be able to earn quite a lot.” Lin Jie interrupted Cyan Fly.

‘This woman wants to escape after losing? So despicable of her.’

Hence, Lin Jie did not bother with manners as he understood that he would be facing non-stop criticism and forced to quit the tournament if he were the one that had lost.

Awkwardness crept onto Cyan Fly’s face as she forced a smile and asked, “We are only worth a bronze coin?”

Lin Jie nodded. “Yeah, more or less that price.”

“You!”

“Alright, let’s cut to the chase. Everyone here has a clear understanding of my work style. I believe that your master had told you about that when he openly provoked me, and I killed him in the main city,” said Lin Jie faintly. “Now, I will give you two options. One, answer my three questions. Two, pole-dance for a day at the Sky Provisions Shop. My brothers, anyone that has Engineering or Smithing knowledge? Bring up the pole!”

“Leader Lone Wolf leader, Leader Lone Wolf, I have! I learned about firearm manufacturing in Engineering, and I specialize in metal poles production!” The Priest that had helped with the revival earlier raised his hands as he poured up many poles of different thicknesses and lengths from his backpack. He really seemed to be a professional.

Cyan Fly’s face darkened as she shouted, “Lone Wolf, is there any point in humiliating three women in public?”

Lin Jie laughed as he threw a pole aside mockingly and said, “Women? If I had lost, would you have had let me go? You are acting like a weak woman now that you are the losers? This is the pole, go on and dance.”

As he threw the pole, Lin Jie threw an Identify at the Priest, ID: Fire Bomb. The name sounded familiar, but for safety, Lin Jie sent him a message, telling him to walk around the Sky Provisions’ Shop first, and he would meet him later.

Pink Mosquito calmed Cyan Fly down as she asked with caution, “Leader Lone Wolf, what questions are you going to ask?”

“They are very simple, one, who sent you here? Actually, I already know the answer to this question, but if you want to lie about this question, then I don’t have to continue asking, just go and dance,” replied Lin Jie.

At that moment, the crowd beneath the arena began hooting.

“Three chicks, don’t answer the questions!”

“Yeap yeap, don’t answer Lone Wolf’s questions! We are waiting for you to pole-dance, hahaha.”

“Leader Lone Wolf, your questions aren’t witty enough…”

This group was here to stir trouble and make the three sisters dance on the spot. Although their names were kind of a turn-off, their figures were really good. Their curves, which were barely covered by the leafy lingerie, made the crowd go into reveries as it was exciting just thinking about them dancing together.

Pink Mosquito sucked in a deep breathe. They all knew about Lone Wolf’s violent and domineering work style. Furthermore, he was in charge of the Brotherhood, which was well-equipped with excellent communication channels, making it even tougher to fool him. If they could not answer the questions, they would have to pole-dance…

The trio hated men to the bone, so dancing for them was asking for the impossible.

“Baili Xuanyuan.” Rainbow Bug brows furrowed. “He offered us 10 Wood Crystals each to set up the arena, lure you, and defeat you.”

Lin Jie nodded. “Very well, the second question. How many men did Baili Xuanyuan send out for the final tournament? And who are they?”

Rainbow Bug’s mouth twitched. “Leader Lone Wolf, did you not read the rules? Anyone that participates in the final tournament will be able to get some points, with additional rewards, coins, and even skill proficiency rewards. Every guild will send out all their players, alright? Do you think it’s possible for us to remember them all?”

“Of course I know that, I am not asking about the cannon fodder.” Fire lit up in Lin Jie’s eyes.

“Alright, the three of us do not know much. Baili Xuanyuan offered us a large number of rare materials for free when we were doing the Hidden Job-Changing mission two days ago. Other than our successful job-change, we even managed to get the Mystic Skill Book, that was why we helped him out.” Rainbow Bug continued on, “How much information could we get in those two days? I only know that he seems to be preparing a secret weapon in the form of a shield.”

Lin Jie’s eyes squinted. ‘A shield? Baili Xuanyuan dared to brag about becoming the champion with just a shield?’

“Third question.” The edges of Lin Jie’s mouth curled up as he said, “How about you three giving me what Baili Xuanyuan gave you?”

Everyone was shocked.

Was this an… extortion?

“I can give you a clear-cut answer: that would be impossible! We have answered the three questions, let’s go! All men are indeed trash.” Cyan Fly was finally unable to hold herself back. She could only shake her head and leave as there was nowhere for her to vent her anger.

“Brother Ghost Eyes, send some of your Bandits to follow them.” Lin Jie waved and said, “Kill them once there are out of the city, and I will split some of the loot with you, sounds good?”

Ghost Eyes was stunned, then he smiled and said, “Alright!”

A dozen of Bandits chuckled in the crowd as they entered Stealth Mode brazenly.

The three sisters were flustered as they had not expected for Lin Jie to be so shameless to ask for the items Baili Xuanyuan had given them! They had required a large number of materials for their Hidden Job-Changing Missions, and thus Baili Xuanyuan would not have scrimped on that since he needed their help as well. This was evident in their remaining 8 pieces of Wood Crystal after using 22 of them for the trap! This was a rare material on the same status as the Fire Crystal!

Lin Jie’s answer was obvious—they should give him the crystals or be prepared to die!

“You, this is extortion!” Cyan Fly was about to curse when she felt a push. Then a Bandit appeared from nothingness and bowed. “I’m really sorry for knocking into you.”

Cyan Fly: “…”

‘So shameless! Shameless! Did the City of Light mass-produce shameless players?’

This trip had been traumatic for the sisters. First, their mega attack, enhanced by 22 Wood Crystals, had been defeated in one slap. Next, it was the attack of this bunch of ‘shameless’ men. It was unknown if the trio would still want to visit the City of Light after returning to the City of Elves.

“Take it!” Cyan Fly threw out a cloth bag and pulled her two sisters angrily into the teleportation circle, disappearing within seconds.

This cloth bag was a 1 square meter space bag given by Baili Xuanyuan.

Lin Jie hit the back of his head as he saw the trio enter the teleportation circle. “F*ck! I have forgotten to collect the 1,000 gold coins reward for winning the match!”

Everyone was speechless.

Ghost Eyes looked at Lin Jie deeply in the eyes. His piercing sight wanted to see through this young man, but he ended up shaking his head helplessly as he turned to leave.

Although Lin Jie had promised to split the loots from the three sisters, he could not lower himself to take it. He was the leader of a large guild, and thus he still had to save some face for himself.

………

At the Sky Provisions Shop.

Lin Jie opened the cloth bag from the three sisters as he walked to the Provisions Shop. This bag was of a much lousier quality compared to his, but it was still a rare item, considering that it was a space bag. He would still have benefitted from this trip if all he had gotten was the bag. Furthermore, there were many shining green items inside.

They were all wood element materials!

Space Packages were not the same as space bags. Items could be placed within space bags to be sold together. Hence, since the middle ages, items of a higher caliber were normally places in space bags.

Of course, space bags would not drop out during death.

“A total of 8 Wood Crystals!” Lin Jie was delighted, and he couldn’t help but praise, “These three women are too honest. Although I wanted to them to hand over all their materials, they could have kept some secretly. I can’t believe they threw all over, sigh, such honest people!”

However, Lin Jie did not know how awkward the three sisters were just now. Firstly, their confidence had been crushed after their mega attack had been obliterated. Secondly, Lin Jie had almost forced them to pole-dance. Then a change in the topic had led to them being forced to answer the questions. In the end, they had been extorted. Anyone who was faced with this situation would have been unable to think through anything clearly other than to retreat.

Lin Jie had not meant to make it tough for them, but why wouldn’t he do such a great thing alongside making himself happy by delivering a blow to Baili Xuanyuan?

There was a vast amount of items in the cloth bag: Moon Wood, Kirin Wood, Non-Invasive Mizuki Wood, Yellow Sand Log… There were at least 100 types of Wood Essence within the bag!

Furthermore, there were 8 Wood Crystals! Lin Jie still had 4 Fire Crystals that Broken Blade would be glad to consume, so those were real treasures. Although currently, Lin Jie’s Broken Blade could only be enhanced by devouring swords, the crystals would be able to strengthen the Supplementary Sword’s attributes! Lin Jie wondered about the limit of the Supplementary Sword’s enhancements, but oh well, he would eventually know.

“Eh? This is…” Lin Jie dug around the bag, and a golden shine shot out.

300 gold coins!

The cloth bag still contained 300 gold coins?!

‘These three women, are too honest… their future prospects are endless.’ Lin Jie had an odd expression on his face as he stuffed the cloth bag into his backpack. He had arrived at the Sky Provisions Shop.

Speaking of which, he had not visited the shop in a long time despite being the shop owner.

Lin Jie was stunned when he reached the shop’s doorstep.

Was this enormous building really the Sky Provisions’ Shop?
