Chapter 116: Silent Grey Sky

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Jie immediately activated Identify. ‘To able to come halfway up the mountain, exactly who is she?’

[Silent Grey Sky]: Level 8, Miner, Health Points: 165/165

Equipment: Low-level Miner Coat, Low-level Miner Geaves, Low-level Miner…

A whole Miner Set! The main thing was, she was only level 8! How did a level 8 Miner that was too feeble to even truss a chicken climb halfway up the Dark Iron Mountain?

Could it be that the IQ of professional players was that high, being able to see through the movement pattern of the monsters in the blink of an eye?

“I thought that was randomly spawned,” said Silent Grey Sky coldly. Her pair of amorous eyes did not have a shred of shock, as if it was perfectly normal.

Silent Grey Sky was as though a peach, and her pair of legs as white as snow, tickling one’s fancy. Such a beauty, half-sitting on the ground, made Lin Jie oddly feel as if he was committing a crime…

“If you want it, take it then.” Lin Jie shrugged his shoulders. Those ores’ quality was not high. Although they belonged to Rare Ores, when actually used, their effects were just like that only. Since it was he who had cut her with his sword, giving that bit of compensation was not excessive.

Silent Grey Sky blinked her eyes and picked up the few pieces of ore. “You don’t want these?”

“I don’t want them.”

“Oh…” She then tried putting it into her backpack. “I’m really going taking it away.”

“Take it, take it.” Lin Jie didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Then you continue to be guarding here…” Silent Grey Sky looked at Lin Jie’s hiding space, and her eyes instantly became weirder. Then, she ran away with her tail between her leg.

Lin Jie widened his eyes and carefully looked at the crack behind him — it really looked a bit like a pervert’s hiding place to assault girls that were alone.

Lin Jie continued hiding in the crack and used his Fire Gun to attract passing Dark Iron Dwarves.

What was disparity? The players at the bottom of the mountain formed a team to kill one Dwarf, but the guy halfway up the mountain was killing one team of Dwarves alone!

Temporarily putting aside the experience difference, just the drop rate alone was a huge gap! Every wave of monsters that died would bring Lin Jie profit of over 10 silver coins, and 10 waves would be one gold coin!

Now, the Black Market’s cash exchange rate was as high as 400:1! If a normal player farmed a month of monsters, the exchange of gold coins to cash was already enough for living expenses!

Only 3 teams of monsters were respawned beside that rock. The interval was about 1 minute and 40 seconds. According to Lin Jie’s speed in killing monsters, he had time to spare to eat bread. His EXP increased rapidly, and the Dwarves’ even dropped quite a lot of their common currency.

As for “Smithing Diary”, Lin Jie had already stuffed a small half of his backpack with them. That item may be something quite good to those studying Forging, but now that it was in Lin Jie’s hands, its effects were much smaller. However, it could help raise Blue’s favorability to him. ‘Maybe Blue can help me forge a Guardian Crossbow again? Haha…’

Of course, that was only wishful thinking, the price of a Guardian Crossbow had already inflated to over 100 gold coins for only one. Now, perhaps it had already inflated to over a thousand—spending hundreds of thousands to buy a crossbow that could be used for only 100 times? It was something that only a fool would do.

Ding~

The Friends Column rang, it was the God Wine Brothers.

God Wine Elder’s tone was very weird. “I say… how could you give me a girl to train? Beat her up? I can’t possibly do that to a girl. Scold her? It’s not convenient, how do I teach her?”

Lin Jie pursed his lips. “You can’t teach without beating and scolding?”

“Bullsh*t!” Wine God Elder replied with certainty.

Wine God Elder was leveling up in the wild in a good mood, looking forward to a well-behaved apprentice that could let him beat up and scold to his heart’s content. However, contrary to his expectations, he saw Bu Yi, a pretty beauty appearing behind him and attacking him, aiming a Holy Flame towards his head.

How could he train a girl?

At the same time, Wine God Youngster was also in a somber mood, his “apprentice” was Qiu Yuan. As he agreed to help Lin Jie, he couldn’t just straight away insta-kill her, right? So he could only pretend to have a battle of attrition with her. Unexpectedly, Qiu Yuan came up with an idea, she started using guerrilla tactics, just using Dark Speech in the battle to reduce the opponent’s strength.

The Wine God Brothers were extremely unsatisfied, how could they train them?

That was not what they’d had in their minds. The Wine God Brothers were supposed to be outside raising their levels. As they did, two hotheaded burly chaps would appear and rush up while yelling, only to be slammed to the ground single-handedly. Ashamed of being inferior, they would kneel on the ground and beg the Wine God Brothers to be their respective mentors. They would serve the Wine God Brothers tea or water and give them a shoulder or leg massage just in exchange for a few useful tips. When the chaps had an epiphany, they would conquer the whole world and make the Wine God Brothers famous.

These girls had not been in the original script!

“If not… you two change your apprentices?” said Lin Jie meekly.

“Alright!” The two brothers nodded their heads.

Lin Jie was rendered speechless. ‘Isn’t the plot a little bit like “I am a commando”?’ [1. A Chinese drama name]?

That was to say, the one coming to challenge Lin Jie was Netherblue. That was good character, that was luck! Netherblue was a melee, and so was Lin Jie. Netherblue had a stubborn temper but a clear head, wasn’t teaching her a piece of cake?

As he hummed to a song, Lin Jie continued hiding in the crack and killing Dark Iron Dwarves. He then heard a thud, and finally, a new item was dropped!

[Exquisite Miner’s Hoe] (Bronze)

Attributes: Temporarily increases 15 proficiency points in mining.

Additional effect: When you successfully mine an ore, there is a 2% probability of receiving an additional 1 proficiency point.

It was actually Living job equipment!

In The New Age, one could not only become a battling job, but on the contrary, one could also choose to become a Living job specialist.

Once one successfully changed job to a Living job, they would be unable to learn any fighting skills. But then, they could enjoy a certain enhancement in proficiency and being killed in the wild would even make the killer receive double the evil score, one’s own equipment drop rate was decreased greatly, and so on…

Living job equipment was very rare, and normally, only guilds’ full-time Living job players could equip them.

“Ah!… Save me!”

A loud exclamation sounded, and one could only see a silhouette running towards Lin Jie panicking. She just nicely squeezed into Lin Jie’s arms with a thud.

The kind, righteous and hot-blooded Lin Jie’s first reaction was to push her away, but when he raised his hand, he touched something soft, which seemed to be a bit hard too…

“You… You-you-you, let go!” shouted Silent Grey Sky.

“I also want to let…” Lin Jie glared at her. “But you are squeezing me so much that I can’t move, I can’t even raise my sword!”

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The 8 Dark Iron Dwarves charged to the outside of the rock, angrily attacking, and their attacks were about to land on Silent Grey Sky.

Lin Jie was elated. ‘Let them fight, let them fight. Once she dies, I will be released.’ At least then he could kill monsters, right?

Who expected that Silent Grey Sky would firmly grit her teeth, relax her body, and then push Lin Jie’s right hand up? “Hurry and kill the monsters!”

Shoosh—

Lin Jie “squeezed” his hand out of some bulging area with difficulty. ‘Her figure is really good!’ He could not help but clench his hand.

“Ah!”

Silent Grey Sky was punched by the Dark Iron Dwarf, and her Health Bar was totally emptied! Her level was too low!

Lin Jie hurriedly came back to consciousness. Then he activated Flame Boost and Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner. Blood Soul Multi-Slash was used after Army Obliteration, forming an explosive combo!

In the blink of an eye, the Dark Iron Dwarf’s HP decreased rapidly by half!

A fist was headed towards Silent Grey Sky again! Lin Jie roared, stunning the Dwarf with Outraged Roar, and he attacked again!

Stun was dispelled!

Dark Iron Dwarf had a grim smile as he waved his fists, but the rock suddenly started to freeze…

Ice Soul Slash!

All of them were stunned!

Army Obliteration!

-455!

-429!

-415!

A Dark Iron Dwarf was torn apart by the Blade Aura. Lin Jie followed up on his kill and cleaned them all up.

“Phew, that nearly scared me to death.” Silent Grey Sky hurriedly let go of Lin Jie and pretended to calmly tidy up her messy clothes. When she looked at the crumple on her chest, her face turned red. She turned around and picked up a piece of ore.

‘That’s Gold Iron Ore! Mid-grade ore! How long has passed since the opening of The New Age? She is already a mid-level Miner?’

“Hey, thank you,” said Silent Grey Sky.

“You’re welcome.” Lin Jie clenched his hand again. “You’re welcome to come again…”

Silent Grey Sky nearly fainted from anger. After a tender ‘hmph’, she continued to search for ores all around.

“If you continue to mine like that, you’ll most likely come a few more times.” Lin Jie helplessly placed his hand on his forehead. If Netherblue came at this moment, what could he do? She might misunderstand that he had an underground love.

Lin Jie recalled for a bit, then brought Silent Grey Sky next to a hidden respawn point and said, “No monsters will be patrolling here. The ore will respawn every 12 minutes, you can just mine here.”

The mining time of a mid-grade ore was very long, she should be able to be self-sufficient.

Silent Grey Sky’s eyes lit up, and she immediately started work.

Lin Jie frowned, sizing her up who was crazily working. In his previous life, the person who had discovered the route up the mountain was a Miner, but the person was unknown. Was it possible…

“Hey, I have this Living job equipment.” Lin Jie took out the bronze Miner Hoe.

“Thanks!” She snatched the Miner Hoe and started mining with loud clinks and clanks.

It looked like she had entered into working mode.

Lin Jie saw that and did not care about her anymore. He turned and continued to farm monsters, causing his EXP to rapidly increase!

The gold coins he had were also increasing at a delightful speed. If that continued, he would not be far from being well-to-do.

Lin Jie opened the black market transaction channel and sold off 10 gold coins at a high price of 450:1. All of them were actually bought in less than half an hour…. The players who bought the coins were even profusely urging him to deliver the coins, as cash had already been transferred to him through personal accounts.

That was the con of black market transactions! If Lin Jie was a swindler, then that person’s money would have been for naught, wasted.

Lin Jie remotely activated his personal inventory and completed the transaction. Then, he continued to farm monsters.

When his level reached level 20, he could go and find his mentor to accept the mount mission. Mounts’ movement speed was faster than players by quite a bit, and it was an essential item for traveling.

Farming continued for a whole day and night. In that period of time, Lin Jie went offline, ate a meal, and rested in addition to training. He also continued farming Dark Iron Dwarf online, placing all his gold coins earned into the black market. The price was also increased to 500:1, so no one showed any interest.

Too high! The transactions of gold coins in the black market were mainly small teams as the seller. The gold coins that a team worked so hard to obtain was sold at around 400, but its safety was questionable.

Meanwhile, Lin Jie sold in bundles, one time 10 gold coins! Lin Jie had enough coins so he could be willful in the way he sold them. Although the safety of the transaction was guaranteed, the black-hearted high price scared all the customers away.

Lin Jie was unable to fit any more “Smithing Diary” into his backpack, so he simply called Silent Grey Sky over and gave all of the “Smithing Diary” to her every three hours.

What made Lin Jie astonished was that that girl was also a relentless person! Lin Jie had at least went offline to rest before, but she actually mined for over 30 hours non-stop. Whenever Lin Jie saw her, she would always be full of energy and in high spirits. It was as if she could mine forever and ever.

When Lin Jie gave her the Smithing Diaries for the fifth time, she suddenly threw a swarthy ore to him. “That is something I got when I was mining, I’m giving it to you.”

[Weighted Concentrated Dark Ore]

Lin Jie was elated. That was one of the needed materials to create the Sub-Legendary Fire Gun “Silent Killer”! In Lin Jie’s previous life, he had not learned mining, so his knowledge of such ores was non-existent.

Now, it looked like it was an extremely rare associated ore.

“That item is useless to me. If you want it, I can give it to you once I obtain it,” said Silent Grey Sky calmly as she looked at Lin Jie’s expression.

Just at that moment, Lin Jie felt his heart throb for no reason.

A sharp sword pierced from behind, aiming accurately at his heart!

Ding!

Both swords collided, Lin Jie looked coldly at the person in front of him and waved his Silver Longsword. He said mockingly, “You want to kill me with that bit of capability?”

Dong!

Dull collision sounds reverberated around the valley. Lin Jie lost balance and even lost control of his body!

‘This girl…!’

Lin Jie clenched his abdomen. ‘My kidney! Ah! Ah! Ah!’
