After the war.

Baili Xuanyuan and the Xuanyuan Alliance’s vigor was greatly depleted, and their city siege plan had to be postponed as well. After the Frozen Tundra battle, Baili Xuanyuan realized the weakness of the Red Lotus Knight. He immediately purchased a game cabin and decided to camp for a long period of time.

It was high-tech preservation equipment, which was too expensive for most players. Upon entrance, the player could maintain and improve their physique for several months without going offline.

“Ability Points, Ability Points!” Baili Xuanyuan mumbled those words repeatedly as he pondered.

At that moment, his subordinates reported that two men wished to see him.

Knock… knock… knock…

Baili Xuanyuan experienced how the cabin felt, and the knocks sounded at an incompatible time. Two men, one gangly and one pudgy, stood at the door.

They were Yesterday Morning and Tomorrow Night!

“What is up with you two?” Baili Xuanyuan frowned slightly. He knew of these two guys, they were the infamous Shadow Kill’s Grim Reaper. Despite that, they had still been defeated by Lone Wolf.

Yesterday Morning pulled a chair and sat down casually as he said with a shadow of a smile, “President Xuanyuan, we are so grateful towards you.”

“Oh?” Baili Xuanyuan was confused.

“All thanks to the ruckus you caused, those guys took notice of Codename Lone Wolf. Just now, Tomorrow Night and I got hold of the news that we will be the ambassadors for one of the events.”

“Them? Could it be—”

“Shh, some things are better left unsaid.” Yesterday Morning straightened up and said seriously, “This is of great importance and is linked to the agreements between the big shots. Hence, you will have to handle it stealthily, do you understand? Here, let me introduce you to…”

Behind him, a muscular shadow stood firmly! This man was clad in animal skin, and his hands were huge, while his canines were razor sharp. He saluted with his fist, and immediately, there was a sonic boom. “Hungry Tiger.”

“Hungry Tiger…” Baili Xuanyuan knew that this was only an alias, but he was excited. He held his hand and laughed, “Welcome, welcome. Let me prepare a meal to welcome you, brother—”

“No need.” Hungry Tiger couldn’t care less about Baili Xuanyuan as he loosened his bones and said solemnly, “The main reason why I am here, is not to help you. Instead, I want to recruit that Codename Lone Wolf. He already possesses one of the Berserker’s Nine Great Techniques, the Berserker’s 100 Consecutive Strikes. Although that isn’t much, he still holds great potential, and we want to recruit him.”

“Hehe… based on his character, he probably won’t agree to it.” Character Z, who had been listening, couldn’t help but reply, “He is used to living with a status, why would he follow you?”

“Hmph, if he can’t be tactful, there will be no need to observe him any further. We will just kill him straightaway.” Hungry Tiger scoffed as he wrapped his arms around his body and said with disdain, “He only learned the Berserker’s 100 Consecutive Strikes, and he thinks that he is better than everyone? You guys don’t have to interfere with this, I know what I am doing. Just follow my instructions.”

“This…” Baili Xuanyuan rolled his eyes, and an idea flashed in his mind. “Of course, and to be honest with you, I have the plan to strike the City of Light and obtain the City Leader position. I was wondering if I could get your help?” he asked with a smile.

…

Outside the Blade Peak Canyon.

Lin Jie, Bu Yi, Baili, and Ziliang were searching for a new patch of soil and digging out the Munjo Ogres’ hair. However, the rate at which the three boys were searching couldn’t match up to Bu Yi’s.

Priests were extra sensitive to souls and corpses, and for that reason, Bu Yi had been called over.

Zheng Ziliang dug and dragged out a piece of saggy back skin. He shivered in disgust and asked, “Jie, you made us travel all the way here, to dig for these dried skin flakes?”

“Mm, collect more of them. We need enough surface skin to form 100 Munjo Ogres.” Lin Jie replied, “The Munjo Ogres mainly stay within the Blade Peak Canyon while some of them are buried outside. Make sure Mechanical Gargoyle is careful with its digging, it has already ruined two pieces of skin.”

Bu Yi blinked and questioned, “What are we digging the skins for? And have you been killing monsters for the past ten over days? Haven’t you gone offline? Your body won’t be able to take it if you continue this any longer.”

“I am alright, I am still young. Furthermore, being in the game is equivalent to being in light sleep. As long as there are nutrients, my body will be just fine.” Lin Jie gestured for Bu Yi not to worry, and he continued explaining, “This time, other than getting the Berserker’s 100 Consecutive Strikes, I also plan to get this item…”

As he spoke, a gigantic crown the size of three heads appeared.

Munjo’s Crown (Epic): After wearing the crown, you will become the Munjo Ogre King and will be able to command the Munjo Ogres that are on a lower level than you. The effect will last for 1 hour, with a cooldown period of 24 hours.

It was a piece of equipment similar to the one that transformed Lin Jie into the Moratti Dragon Envoy. The Munjo Crown could transform one into the Munjo Ogre King, which was a Dark Gold Overlord Boss! It was a pity that he had some questionable skills…

Munjo Blessing: Increase a random attribute by 30 points, and it can only be used on each attribute once. The effect will last until the transformation is undone.

Attribute Transfer: You can duplicate at most 30% of your attribute to one person, and the effect will last till the transformation is undone.

Ninja: When you are not attacking, there is a 30% chance that the damage inflicted on you will be deflected.

Just like the above, the king’s skills were mostly to boost other players, and self-protection was only secondary. He lacked any offensive power. The transformation duration was also extended by the quantity of Munjo Ogres’ skin, in other words, the skin was equivalent to channeling material.

“Hu, digging for skin is too boring, I thought you were going to bring us to kill a Boss.” Zheng Ziliang’s lips twitched before he changed the topic. “The Berserker’s 100 Consecutive Strikes has insane attributes! Could there be a guild that is made up of purely crazy people like that? If that is true, how would the other guilds survive?”

“That would be rather unlikely,” said Baili Changcheng. “If a guild is full of players like that, how would the average players survive? I am still unsure of what the Nine Great Techniques for Elemental Sword Artists are.”

“Could the Nine Great Techniques for Contract Summoner be a skill to call out beauties? Or to change the summoned beast to pretty chicks?” Zheng Ziliang’s eyes lit up as he glanced back to the diligent Mechanical Gargoyle and whispered, “Should I summon a little wild kitty? I have a great interest in catgirls.”

Bu Yi waved her tiny fists and said fiercely, “You should summon a female tiger to keep your mouth in lane.”

Lin Jie’s mouth twitched, and he said, “The Nine Great Techniques are incredibly rare, I don’t think anyone has the ability to create such a guild, right? Alright, we are almost done with the skin collection, pass them to me.”

As he spoke, 100 pieces of Munjo Ogre skin were passed to Lin Jie.

Lin Jie smiled and said, “Look, my plan is about to begin!”

The Munjo Crown emitted a faint ray of light, and instantly, Lin Jie’s lanky body vanished and in its place stood a muscular Munjo Ogre. It had a huge belly and was mumbling the Munjo language.

Munjo Ogre King!

That was Lin Jie’s name.

“Citizens of the Never Setting Sun are training in the Caron Desert. I will make a trip there, you guys make your way back and await my news,” said Lin Jie and teleported to the Caron Desert.

The desert spawned a huge number of Level 45 Desert Scorpions, and they were all of the Elite-level. There was even a slight chance of spawning out Rare Elite monsters, making it a great place for training.

The king, who was originally Lin Jie, wandered around aimlessly at the desert’s edge.

At that moment, a Mage named Yan Yue was surprised to find a wandering NPC, called Munjo Ogre King.

A king, one that had gotten lost!

Yan Yue felt the calling of a mission immediately as she rushed over and said, “Do you need any help?”

“~!@#¥¥%%…” Odd Munjo language spouted out from Lin Jie’s mouth, and it took a while to be translated to the commonly used language by humans. He stuttered awkwardly, “Human?”

“Yes,” replied Yan Yue.

“Humans took away my home, my everything! The grand Munjo Treasure Room was stolen by the damned humans as well.” The king that was portrayed by Lin Jie growled indignantly. “Caesar, I will never forget this man! One day, the Ogres will take back what’s ours!”

Yan Yue was obviously experienced as she ignored Lin Jie’s background context and went along with his rage and scolded, “These humans should really die. Ogre, although we are enemies, I am still willing to help you.”

“Really?” Lin Jie’s eyes lit up, and he seemed to make a tough decision. “I am going to kill the City of Light’s leader, Caesar. I am going to have my revenge! Tonight, he will be at the City of Light’s Qifeng Mountain, help me to kill him! If you can complete my mission, I will let you possess the Munjo Ogre’s bloodline!” he said.

As he spoke, Lin Jie cast Attributes Transfer and Munjo Blessings. Instantly, Yan Yue’s Wisdom grew by 30 points! Her Defense also grew by 300 points, it was an insane boost!

Furthermore, Yan Yue realized that the system had shown that this increase had an ‘unlimited’ time period, in other words, the mission had a reward of 30 attribute points upon acceptance! Not to mention, she even received Defense rewards, it was hard to believe.

“If you are able to look for more helpers, I can provide them with an increase in attributes as well. This is the power of the Munjo Ogre bloodline!” Lin Jie said solemnly.

Yan Yue’s eyes lit up as she agreed and rushed back to her team.

The fish was hooked!
