Chapter 15: I Want Them All!

“Good, good, Fu Sheng, you’re good!” Mighty Wings furiously gritted his teeth and looked towards Netherblue and hollered, “Can’t you see? He just wants to destroy the entire party! I, Mighty Wings, have been loyal to your team for 3 years and this is how you repay me?”

Netherblue’s gaze looked fazed. After all, Mighty Wings was her long-time friend since they were young. Besides, both of their parents had a very close relationship, and they even had plans to get engaged. But his behavior today had utterly destroyed the entire good and bright image of himself that he had built up so successfully throughout the years!

Mighty Wings looked at Lao Mo, Banana and others and looked even more distraught, “We’ve been teammates for so many years, don’t you guys know how I am? Midnight, have you heard that I’ve had the invitation from the Ironwall Empire? The Triumphant Midnight and Ironwall Empire have all along been arch rivals. I guess it’s been hard on you producing this nonsensical video in such a short time, hasn’t it?”

At that moment, Mighty Wings had completely sunk into a crazy mental state – the stares from the girl of his dreams, the disdain from his long-time teammates, the threat from an outsider had completely revealed his own despicable personality.

All those events had made him gone completely insane. He wished for Lin Jie to die so that he could wash away his humiliation

Midnight sneered. “You, seem like you have nothing worth checking up on.”

One was the MT of the elite Triumphant Midnight, while the other was a mere commoner who had not even joined the Ironwall Empire. Who was the lightweight and weak one? And who was the heavyweight and the strong one? Mighty Wings’s behavior was akin to a nest of ants announcing to the world that they had posed a threat to the fearsome king of all animals, the tiger, just because it tried to drown the nest of ants in its piss.

Lin Jie scanned the surroundings. Lao Mo, Banana and others were like Netherblue. They were fully aware that Mighty Wings was in the wrong, but they had no clue as to how they should respond to the behavior of their long-time teammate.

On the other hand, Midnight simply folded his arms and continued enjoying the spectacle. Only Qiu Yuan dared to rise up to the injustice, as she hatefully screamed, “Your face! Mighty Wings, how the f*ck do you still have the guts to say something like that? It’s Midnight you’re talking about. Who the f*ck are you? You think he was trying to frame you? You think too highly of yourself! And, Lin Jie is someone I invited. If you are suspicious of him, that means you also think that I intentionally brought over someone to destroy Sister’s party?”

Mighty Wings was furious. With a heavy chest and a slow-to-react brain, he hollered, “You dumb b*tch, don’t you see you’re being made use of? Trust me, tonight I’m going to…”

‘SLAP-‘

A huge slap landed on Mighty Wings’s face! It wasn’t from anyone but Lin Jie. ‘I don’t care if you make a scene, but if you put someone down like that, you are asking for it!’

‘SLAP-‘

‘SLAP-‘

Lin Jie continued to slap Mighty Wings’s face a few more times. In the game, players’ physical damage wasn’t that high. Most of the attack damage came from their equipment. So, while Lin Jie’s slaps seemed really vicious, in reality, they did barely 10 points of damage.

However, the psychological damage was huge!

“Mighty Wings, about this issue, if you’re not blind, I think you would be able to tell right from wrong. If this team doesn’t even possess this sort of straightforward judgment skills, I see no point staying in this party, and I’d leave immediately. But before that…” Lin Jie glanced at the rewards dropped by the Cat Monarch and calmly said, “The equipment, Skill Book, ingredients, I want them all!”

“Ha, hahahahaha! Heard that? Heard that? Want everything? You? Where have you gotten the balls to say that you want everything?” Mighty Wings seemed to have heard the biggest joke of his life and cursed, “Just get lost if you wish!” Letting you leech so much experience already counts as generosity on our part.”

Qiu Yuan walked in front of Lin Jie and said, “Fu Sheng, it really is a little ridiculous of you to want all the rewards.”

Mighty Wings felt a fiery pain on his face and sneered. “You think really think he was helping out of goodwill? Let me tell you, he…”

“At least let me have some,” Qiu Yuan joked.

Those words had clearly presented her stand. Lin Jie felt really touched. Regarding that issue, anyone could tell who was right and wrong but why was it that Mighty Wings could still think he was right and continue to argue with Lin Jie? It was simple – that was his territory.

Lin Jie was just a passerby after all. Who would want to offend a group of friends with whom one would be working together in the future just because of a random passerby?

However, Qiu Yuan completely took Lin Jie’s side. If she had really split the battle rewards with Lin Jie, would she really be able to remain in the team? The answer was obvious.

‘Ding~’

-‘The Party Leader has given you the power to distribute the items.’

Lin Jie looked at Netherblue with a bewildered look but did not even hesitate to pick the items. How could getting first clear on the expert-level Cat Demon Lair be only worth 10 times higher in reward than the Normal-level dungeon? There were a solid 11 pieces of Bronze Equipment, and among them was one complete Full-Body Claw Set!

Midnight was also wearing the Claw Equipment Set. The Triumphant Midnight took quite a few days to complete the entire set.

That was the reward of the Expert-level dungeon!

Apart from that, there was also the Enhancement Gems required for enhancement of equipment, two scrolls, a huge amount of raw ingredients, among which was the Cat Claws that Lin Jie needed. The claws were one of the required ingredients to enhance the Broken Blade.

At the top, there was also a pair of golden greaves.

“Gosh, Golden Greaves!”

“Gold Equipment!”

Even Midnight was slightly stunned. Gold Equipment was highly rare – even the Fox Boss possessed just one piece of such equipment.

[Miso Agility Greaves] (Gold)

Requires: Level 3

Defense: 7-12

Strength: +6

Endurance: +4

Run Speed: +5

Additional effect: Jump +3

Everyone’s gaze was fixated on that piece of Gold Equipment! Mighty Wings gulped down his saliva and thought to himself that if he had been able to get his hands on the Gold Equipment, his abilities would undoubtedly have been able to earn him a place in one of the elite parties! His mindset had already begun to shift. All these were due to the appearance of Lin Jie and Midnight. In order to dominate and control the party members, including Qiu Yuan and Netherblue, one had to have abilities so strong that they would look up to him!

Little did he expect that Lin Jie would straightaway put on the greaves and say, “I have some use for it. I’m taking it.”

“F*…” Mighty Wings was about to rage when a system notification appeared.

-‘Player Mighty Wings has been muted by the party and is banned from voice and typed communication.’

An access removal immediately turned Mighty Wings into a mute.

“I want the Skill Book. Skill- and Level-enhancing Scrolls, I want them too. Same for the Augmenting Gem…” Looking at Lin Jie taking away piece after piece of equipment and stuffing them into his bag, Mighty Wings’s face was red with anger, and yet he could not utter a word. After slicing off the Cat Demon’s claws and brain, he stored them away in his bag and cleaned his hands, “Alright, that’s about all I’m taking.”

Midnight felt strange and glared at Lin Jie and said, “What about me?”

Lin Jie slapped his head and said, “Ah, I’m sorry I forgot about it.”

Midnight: “…”

“Big Brother Midnight I guess you can have this shield. It’s probably much better than your Sikozy Shield.” Apart from the Golden Greaves, there were 3 other Silver Equipment, and one of them was the shield.

[Poison Heavy Shield] (Silver)

Requires: Level 3

Defense: 13-28

Endurance: +4

Willpower: +2

Health Points: +30

Block: +3%, Parry: +3%

Additional effect: Poison Corrosion. The unit that attacks you will get 2% reduced attack damage.

The drop rate of the Poison Heavy Shield was very low, it was one of the best shields that an MT before level 5 could have gotten. During times when players were not strong enough to challenge the Boss, the Poison Heavy Shield would then seem exceptionally strong.

Midnight accepted the shield and gave a good long look at Lin Jie. Since he was able to identify the shield that he was holding, he was definitely an expert in the game! Being generous enough to gift the shield over to him also showed that he had good people handling skills. He said, “Good! Brother Fu Sheng, would you be interested in joining the Triumphant Midnight? As long as you join us, we would definitely enter the realms of the elite parties!”

The crowd was on fire, as they looked on at Lin Jie with envious eyes. The Triumphant Midnight had tens of thousands of people; they were strong and capable. The elite party among them even had the best of the best. All of them were respectable figures. Getting into the elite party was a dream that countless players strived for but couldn’t achieve.

Lin Jie laughed, “I think I’ll give it a pass, I prefer to go alone. Getting a team… not for now.”

These words were clearly directed at that particular party. Netherblue looked down and felt a burning sensation on her face.

“You can have this,” Lin Jie took out another piece of Silver Equipment. It was a white hair band and was considered a Mage headgear, just more suited to a female’s aesthetics. Tying it around one’s hair would allow her to enjoy the stats provided by it.

Qiu Yuan excitedly grabbed the Silver Hairband and tied up her long and waterfall-like hair into a ponytail. She was brimming with life and looked adorable; her dimples were so deep till they seemed like they could suck in people’s eyeballs.

“As for the last Silver Equipment… the Bone Wristguard, a Silver Equipment, Defense: 7-10, Strength: +5, and it also has an additional effect [Heroic Strike Ability Level +1]. Super rare equipment.” Lin Jie was amazed that such an amazing ability level enhancing equipment was dropped. Ability levels had all along been the most difficult to train. Directly increasing a level was unquestionably too strong.

Heroic Strike was a Weapon Warrior ability. The only Weapon Warriors in the party were Mighty Wings and Netherblue!

Lin Jie took a look at Netherblue and smiled, “Boss Netherblue, this piece of equipment, I’ll be selling it. If you want a portion of it, I can…”

Netherblue smiled while shaking her head, “You take it. Fu Sheng, thank you for giving us a chance to get our names on the Leaderboard. This, to us, is more than sufficient. This time, Mighty Wings and we have all wronged you. I hereby apologize.”

She took a deep bow and continued, “Regard these pieces of equipment as our compensation. If fate may bring us together again in the future, we welcome you to join us to raid dungeons again.”

Lin Jie looked at Mighty Wings, opened the party window and chose ‘Leave.’ He continued, “With him here, no chance. Goodbye.”

After completing his sentence, Lin Jie vanished immediately.

Midnight left the party as well and laughed, “Interesting, interesting indeed. Should I say that you guys are a band of loyal brothers, or you can’t tell the good from the bad? Hahaha…”

Lin Jie and Midnight had left. Netherblue then waved her hands to lift the ban on Mighty Wings’s speech.

“F*ck you Netherblue, what right have you to stop me from talking? Did I say anything wrong? That b*stard fooled Qiu Yuan and made all of us become his laborers! And yet you guys still treat him as a good guy…” Mighty Wings cursed.

“I also feel that taking away almost all the equipment is too overboard.”

“We fought for an entire day and only got ourselves half a set of Bronze Equipment. And yet he took away all the Gold Equipment and even the entire Claw Set!”

“That Silver Wrist guard added one ability level. I suppose it could even fetch gold coins? Heh, split the gold? How will he even do such a thing?”

Lao Mo and Banana finally said their piece after seeing Lin Jie leave. Words of envy and jealousy poured out and for once made the Party Leader Netherblue become suspicious and wary of her own team members.

Qiu Yuan coldly looked at them and walked towards the body of the Cat Monarch.

‘Collect!’

‘Clank!’

An entire set of battle rewards appeared in the item basket, even the ability level enhancing Silver Wristguard!
