Chapter 209: The Weird Gilian

“No way! You despicable human being! Humans are fraudulent as expected! My clansmen are right!” Gilian was just about to throw a tantrum but then realized that her magical shield had no effect on the man before her. Clenching her teeth, she used a subdued tone unwillingly, and said, “I really don’t know how to draw the map. In fact, I am not even familiar with Moratti Shrine. Feel free to believe me, or don’t.”

Lin Jie pushed Broken Blade in by an inch, and the next moment, blood stained Gilian’s lavender fine neck. As the blood dripped on Broken Blade, Lin Jie roared, “Not familiar? Not familiar yet you could teleport me here? Not familiar yet you could split up all my teammates? Do you think that we are those brainless Undead that you have produced?”

“You… you are just a moron! Idiot!” Gilian unexpectedly broke out into curses. This was quite expected for Lin Jie, who expertised in guessing the system and NPCs’ way of thinking. Why was she like a tsundere girl? Not going to care anymore! A Gold Character was indeed precious, but after all, it’s just a Gold Character that was rare at this moment. Lin Jie believed that there would be much more in the future. However, if it was a Sub-Legendary card, it would be another case.

Towards such NPCs, Lin Jie firmly believed that one should utilize them if possible, if not then exploit its remaining value!

‘F*ck! I came to play the game, not here to let the game make fun of me!’

As such, Lin Jie shamelessly escorted Gilian and forced open the stone door with one kick. Forcing Gilian to be the meat shield in front of him, he walked deeper into the tunnel. The walls were full of bumps and hollows all along, one could indistinctly see arrows, traps, Undead’s gunpowder, and stinky corpses lying around, which were very deadly!

Not mentioning those envenomed traps and arrows, Undead’s gunpowder was more like a gas bomb that could decrease lots of a player’s health points per second until one’s death. In fact, these corpses were the deadliest! There was a notorious spell in Dark Magic, [ Corpse Burst]!This spell was also the reason why The Dark was expelled from the mainland.

[Corpse Burst]: Detonate all corpses within an area, resulting in damage as serious as the corpses’ full health pool. The damage will ignore all shield effects.

With that, even the lowest level Dark Magic Mage could decide the outcome of any battle!

These corpses were at least at an elite level when living, and had health not less than 10,000. Once the corpses were detonated, Lin Jie would die immediately. However, Lin Jie was comforted by the fact that Corpse Burst would ignore all shield effect, otherwise, if Gilian could use her Magical Shield, his life would then be at stake.

“Walk!” Lin Jie raised his eyebrow and forced Gilian to act as a de-miner. This fellow could not spark any sense of protectiveness of Lin Jie.

After progressing for about half an hour, Lin Jie suddenly heard murmurs in the space. It seemed that there were a lot of spirits!

“Translate,” Lin Jie commanded.

Gilian was tightly locked by Lin Jie’s Broken Blade, and could only respond to Lin Jie’s command. She translated the spirit’s murmurings, “The sleeping King will wake up soon, the Crown on the Demon Dragon’s throne is waiting for its owner’s return!”

“We were people who risked our lives to attain freedom, we could only wander around in this space all day. We yearn for a brave soul- no matter you worship the Dark or the Light, to come and save us!”

Ding~

—”You have activated Stumbling Ghosts’ mission [Demonic Dragon Crown], do you accept?”

Mission description: You were venturing in Moratti Shrine when you encountered these poor souls. They were honorable warriors who had sacrificed for the Light, and had lost their fighting spirits and bravery under the torture of the Darkness. Please save them! Go to Moratti Shrine and take away its crown! You will receive generous awards!

Lin Jie shivered. Snatch away the Demonic Dragon Crown? It must be incredibly difficult! Of course, the rewards would definitely be satisfying! This was suggesting sudden wealth!

Mission accepted!

The moment Lin Jie accepted the mission, the ghosts came close to him and swirled around with their transparent bodies to express their gratitude.

Lin Jie spoke to Gilian. ”Translate this: I need a map and some clues. At least tell me how to exit from here.”

Gilian translated honestly. The ghosts, however, had a hard time digesting the words that she said—Undead creatures had low intelligence, the simplest sentence would take them a long time to understand.

Slowly, the ghosts finally understood his intention. One of them suddenly hit upon an idea, and unhesitantly threw himself towards Lin Jie’s Broken Blade!

-541!

All of a sudden, all the ghosts’ eyes lit up. Howling, they threw themselves towards the blades of Thunderbolt Sword and the Broken Blade like hungry wolves! Watching the ghosts committing suicide, Lin Jie was stunned. What was happening?

Swoosh—

A beam of golden light fell onto him, and Lin Jie was shocked to realize that he just leveled up!

—”You have killed Silver Boss Moratti Shrine Ghost. You received 450,000 EXP (Exp Gem bonus). You received 50 Holy Church reputation points.”

—”You have killed Silver Boss Moratti Shrine Ghost. You received 550,000 EXP points (Exp Gem bonus). You received 60 Holy Church reputation points.”

…

The EXP bar was quickly filled up and broke through level 24 in a split of a second! It only stopped at 40% relentlessly. At the moment, Lin Jie was still immersed in great ecstasy.

‘Goodness! It supplied one whole bar of experience!’

After the ghost died, a piece of paper burst out from its heart.

Ding~

[Moratti Shrine Demonic Dragon’s Lair Map]!! It clearly stated how to access the Demon Dragon Moratti’s resting ground! One location was specifically labeled: The Exodus Bone Dragon! It was the super warrior which Moratti had used abundant Dragon Essence to develop!

Keeping the map in his inventory, Lin Jie saw the Undead Essence resulted from the death of the ghosts dancing in the air, which slowly formed a bright hallowed gate. From the gate, one could see the majestic main shrine!

The ghosts used their remaining power to direct Lin Jie to the right path!

‘So that was what it was! Didn’t expect leveling up to be so easy!’ It was truly effortless! Lin Jie jubilated, “Let me level up more! ”

————

“Stun him!” A roar was heard, followed by the Water Overlord’s giant fist smashing down onto Lin Jie’s head! It caused 100 negligible points of damage, but the heavy blow managed to smash Lin Jie onto the walls. From a corner, Wine God Youngster adjusted his Long Spear quickly and dashed forward, targeting Lin Jie’s neck.

“Wait! It’s Jie!” Zheng Ziliang said in astonishment, and Wine God Youngster hastily stopped his attack.

Lin Jie drank a bottle of potion and said with a subdued tone, “Why are you guys here?”

Zheng Ziliang paused and explained, “Youngster and I were teleported into a treasure room after we stepped into the teleportation circle. We opened 10 chests and then teleported back here to meet the rest. We couldn’t contact you, and hence, we didn’t venture further to wait for you. ”

Lin Jie was puzzled. “Treasure room?”

“Yeah, and I have gotten quite a lot of good things. This one is for you.” Zheng Ziliang took out a bright golden scroll and smiled mysteriously. “I don’t need this, here you go!”

A scroll jumped out from the trading column.

[Specific Ability Level Enhancing Scroll]: Specific for Dark Shrine people, enhance specific Ability from Level 1 to Level 3.

“Fff…” Lin Jie could not help but curse. Leveling up from level 1 to 3 at once? Even when it had limited its usage to the Dark Shrine Characters, it was still too overwhelming! What’s more, it came from the so-called ‘Treasure Room’ directly!

Lin Jie was confused, didn’t Gilian say that Zheng Ziliang’s group encountered danger? How did they end up in a Treasure Room?

Lin Jie threw a confused look at Gilian, he could not understand. “What happened?”

“Hmph, human!” Gilian crossed her arms and seemed to be proud of herself. “I just want to let you experience agony and unfairness! You encountered endless hardship while your friends got valuable presents! So how? Are you not angry? Are you furious?”

Lin Jie and Zheng Ziliang were puzzled. Anger? Fury? Not at all…

“You… Why didn’t you scream out of pain?” Gilian observed Lin Jie’s expression and then sneered. “I got it! You are pretending! You are pretending that you are not angry! Human, I have already seen through your dirty mind! Who will not generate negative emotions when his friends are powerful, and himself is weak? HAHAHA….”

Cough, cough…

There must be an explanation here about the environment affected by the Dark Shrine or the Dark Order: Law of the jungle and cheats! These resulted in a big environment full of fights and killings! The Dark Order was a huge melting pot, which threw all its believers in and allowed them to devour each other until the strongest King fought his way out!

In this ruthless devouring process, even friends could turn to foes! The power of one’s friend proved that one was weak, and proved that one was close to death!

Thereafter, Gilian’s method to fight against Lin Jie was very simple: Let your experience torture you, and let your friends encounter fortune!

Having a heart as devil… or to say, the naive Gilian would definitely grab this chance to take her revenge after being bullied by Lin Jie. Hence, she did not hesitate to give Wine God Youngster and Zheng Ziliang abundant benefits while leaving Lin Jie in the incubation pool and disturb him with the low-grade dragons!

However, the outcome was far unsatisfying—the numerous low-grade dragons not only allowed Lin Jie to level up but also allowed him to prosper. On the other hand, the ‘powerful friend strategy’ was equally useless in triggering Lin Jie.

Watching Zheng Ziliang handing over the scroll happily to Lin Jie, Gilian finally could not stand it and sat down, breaking in tears.
