Sakuras Pub.

The Savage Blade team had reunited once again. Their cups were filled with the alcohol concocted by Yan Li, the coolest bartender in the City of Light as they sat and listened to the minstrel, Zhang Qiong, recite his literary poems.

The Sakura Pubs boss was a girl, with a perfect pair of legs, and she was related to Baili Changcheng. Hence, everyone also supported the pubs businesses.

There was an additional person todayOphadi Wantless.

It was time for him to fulfill his bet from back at Midolhaar.

As Lin Jie entered Sakuras Pub, he realized that he was the last one, and thus he couldnt help but sweat. Ziliang probably has something to say again.

Indeed, Zheng Ziliangs creepy voice sounded in the pub. Tsktsk the legendary leader, Fu Sheng, is so mysterious at his whereabouts, appearing at one moment and disappearing the next. He is even late for the gathering this time. Lets not mention the usual times! You have to treat us today, everyone just enjoy yourselves. Kaka~

This is the first time I felt that Innocent Killer makes sense. I have to give him 32 likes! Qiu Yuan replied immediately.

+1! It was Baili Changcheng.

Same! Ophadi Wantless was straight to the point.

Yes, yes, yes, you all are right. Its all my fault, put everything on my tab, okay? Lin Jie was almost drenched in sweat from the comments.

Hehe, since you said that, everything is okay, we understand, said Netherblue and paused as she proceeded to inform on what had happened recently. Lets get down to business. The third Main Plot Dungeon is only open at Level 40, right? Why are you gathering everyone here today? she asked.

Lin Jie pursed his lips as he gulped down the amber liquid. I activated a large-scale mission. Its difficulty level, magnitude, and rewards are all comparable to Main Track Missions! replied Lin Jie.

Main Track Mission, Historical Mission?! asked Zheng Ziliang in astonishment.

Thats right, a Main Track Mission thats related to the Dark Shrine. If its completed, other than the great rewards it brings, it will provide us with great help when well be conquering the third Main Plot Dungeon. Lin Jie flicked his fingers mindlessly on the table and said, This mission is major, and it should begin in 2 days.

Baili Changcheng chuckled. There should be a system announcement upon completion of the Main Track Mission, right? My guild was just created and does not have much popularity. This promotion is definitely beneficial.

Qiu Yuan was unable to hold herself back as she said, Why is it only 2 days later? So troublesome! Is there other stuff to do? If there isnt, I will battle at the final tournament first to practice!

Lin Jie nodded. Okay, go ahead. Oh, right, how many points do you have?

Qiu Yuan held out 5 fingers proudly. 500 points!

Everyone was shocked.

So many?

Unable to hold in her laughter, Bu Yi explained, Ever since the Final Tournament was commenced, Xiao Yuan has been there all day long. Its fine since one can get experience, coins, and even gift bags if they are lucky.

Qiu Yuan hmphed as a prompt message sounded in her ears. She notified the rest and then teleported to the tournament ground to continue to torture others.

Ophadi Wantless coughed dryly and said, Doesnt it tire her out? Just for those pathetic points?

Lin Jie interjected, Indeed, it is not a must to participate in the Final Tournament now. However, there is no harm in training some PK skills. The active period a few days later will ensure us double digits and even 100+ points for every victory. Everyone wait for my instructions and try not to get involved in Epic Missions for the next few days or enter those incommunicado maps.

Okay!

Understood!

Everyone agreed.

Oh right, Lin Jie Bu Yi called out. I accepted a mission, help me to see if I have to complete it now.

[Judges Dilemma]

Mission Description: Judge Brari was confused by your act of friendliness, he hopes that you can proceed with the judgment for him.

Mission Reward: ???

Lin Jie was surprised, and he said, Bu Yi, has your healing capability exceeded 35,000,000?

Ah? What 35,000,000 healing capability? Im not sure, asked Bu Yi in confusion.

Nothing, let me know when you are going ahead with this mission. Lin Jie waved and said, I studied the first 5 rounds of this mission, but you are on your own for the rest.

Judges Dilemma was a hidden mission that could only be activated by Priests. Actually, there were quite a few hidden missions available in The New Age. There had once been a statistical count by a game fanatic who had added up all sorts of hidden missions and found that there were probably hundreds of thousands of it.

The requirements to activate a mission: Based on Level 30 and above, the first to reach the healing capability of 35,000,000 would activate the mission. Regardless of the missions completion, it would disappear.

Priests that could reach Level 30 were 1 in 1,000,000, and most of their healing capabilities could not compare with Bu Yi. Ruling out the usage of magic powers, a Level 30 Priests healing capability per second was around 100 points, totaling to 360,000 points per hour. It would only take about 100 hours, which was equivalent to a little more than 4 days to reach 35,000,000 points.

However, who could use the Healing Spell for 100 consecutive hours? Disregarding the time and patience, the large amount of magic consumption would age the person as well.

However, Bu Yi had a high healing capability Inclusive of the Power Word Shield with the long period of farming in the Elves Prison, it was no surprise that she could activate the mission.

Judges Dilemma was a mission chain activated when a cold judge developed doubt for his bloodied hands. The player had to complete the judgment for a series of convicts in place of the judge. Completion of every round would allow the player to advance to the next round, otherwise, the mission would occur if failure was to occur.

Bu Yi nodded obediently. Alright, then I will start now. Maybe I can receive a decent reward, which will help us out when we are doing the Main Track Mission later on.

Lin Jie smiled and replied, No rush, the decent prizes for this mission are all after round 10. Take your time, being too anxious to achieve success might result in failure instead.

Mmhmm, I understand. Bu Yi giggled.

Lin Jie then proceeded to give Zheng Ziliang a mission, which was to create a large number of bombs, as many as he could! Lin Jie was going to fit all these inside the King of Bloods corpse, delivering the Dark Shrine their perfect Trojan Horse!

Lin Jie finally let out a breath after all the arrangements, and rubbed his temporals, and leaned comfortably into the sofa. Star Kill, Red Dust, Netherblue, and the rest had gone to farm in the dungeon, hoping to farm for a full body of equipment in time for the Main Track Mission.

Only Lin Jie and Baili Changcheng were left in the Sakura Pubs room.

Baili Changcheng held his cup and gently smiled. It doesnt sound good if it gets out that two men are in the same room in a pub.

No worries, all successful people have some weird fetishes. There was a shadow of a smile on Lin Jies face as his eyes darted around Baili Changcheng, which grew on the latters nerves. Finally, he coughed and went back to business. Your guild has been created?

Baili Changcheng placed his cup down and replied, Yes, I have already recruited a small number of people. However, there arent any huge upheavals in the game, so there will be some trouble in becoming popular. I cant be like you and just give out equipment. The guild is different from the Brotherhood, your method of recruitment wont work for me.

Haha, I thought you were busy training and did not know about this. Lin Jie smiled.

How could I not know? What a pity that I couldnt take out some time to participate. Otherwise, I would definitely have had stomped on his corpse! said Baili Changcheng evilly, and he changed the topic. Oh right, something big happened at home. Originally, outsiders should not have known about this, but I feel that its best that you do.

Something big?

Yes, my father has gotten this capital for me to fight against Baili Xuanyuan, in other words, we are on completely opposing sides now. However, my guild is still far too small as compared to his. Hence, I need your help, said Baili Changcheng solemnly with a hint of resolution, just like a tiger that had just risen from its slumber. Just like how the idiom goes, a horse cannot get fat without an extra ration, a man cannot get rich without an extra income, for me to become strong enough to fight him, I will need an equally great opportunity! And the greatest opportunity I have currently is you!

Lin Jies eyes were sparkling as he asked, You want the people from Brotherhood to join your guild?

Yes, and no. Baili Changcheng let out a long breath as he said, Brotherhood is yours, even if you are willing, I will not take it. However, I hope that you will allow me to recruit some men from the Brotherhood, I will try to minimize the actions.

This Lin Jie frowned.

Baili Changcheng was begging to undermine his foundation. Brotherhood was on a great scale with efficient internal communications. If it was used well, its strength would be greatly boosted. If the Central Auction House was the trading place of the New Age, the Brotherhood would be the greatest mission trading place. If Baili Changchengs request was accepted, it would definitely raise doubts regarding the Brotherhood.

As a matter of fact, those that had dared to openly recruit people from Brotherhood had been removed by Lin Jie. Even large guild leaders such as the Dumb Fox and Ghost Eyes could only stay at the sidelines!

After a long while, Lin Jie replied, This will be advantageous to you but the opposite for me. Brotherhood bans internal recruitment, I cannot create a precedent.

Baili Changchengs eye dimmed, and he smiled bitterly. I guessed it, however, I cant help but feel a little uncomfortable.

I understand. If you want to make a name for yourself, its easy. Complete the main track mission. There isnt any main track mission that can be completed by a handful of people, it will end up being a large-scale mission which may even attract the main city players. We started it first, so we will definitely benefit more and get more information. Lin Jies eyes were sparkling as he calculated the future. By then, your guild will definitely become popular based on our pre-arranged plans of obtaining the prizes. Once a guild becomes famous, you wont have to worry about a lack of talents, right?
