Chapter 361: You Either Join Or Die
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Main Plot Mission?”
“Impossible! Main Plot Missions have always involved the history of the game, and there are no significant changes to the game’s history now.”
“Exactly. I heard that the first main mission can only be obtained after the Dungeon War of Light.”
“Let’s wait and hear what Lone Wolf has to say. With his identity, he’ll be crossing the line if he dares to fool us.”
The mob stared at Lin Jie and quietened down. There were many defeated players who took the chance to revive. Some escaped and left while others stayed quietly to listen to Lin Jie.
“As everyone knows, the Main Plot Mission in the game is triggered when there’s a change in dynasties, large scale wars, or significant developments. Many players even believe that Main Plot Missions are not real. Today, I’ll tell you all a fact. 20% of all the things in the game will progress naturally, while the remaining 80% will have to be uncovered by you!” Lin Jie exclaimed loudly as if giving a sharp warning.
The eyes of many players lit up after hearing Lin Jie’s words. The people there were no longer rookies in the game. They all knew clearly what a Main Plot Mission meant!
In truth, many of the players had subconsciously regarded The New Age as a reality since it was a 100% realistic simulation. However, players with the mindset that “this is just a game” were still used to treating this as a normal game, following the traditional game progression of “accepting missions”, “hunting monsters”, and “farming gears”. Among them, the leading players had already grasped the concept of the game, understanding the influence that languages, mental states, and even appearances had on the game.
Today, everyone was enlightened after hearing Lin Jie’s blunt fact. It was as if they were the monks in stories who needed a little push to achieve self-actualization.
“The Main Plot Mission I have triggered is very simple: Help the Holy Church to defeat the Dark Shrine!” Lin Jie said loudly, “Before that, there are many side missions to be completed. Destroying the source of Dark Holy Water is one of them! After spending a lot of effort, the Brotherhood has already gotten information on the water source. Now, I will be creating a team. Those who are willing to complete the Main Plot Mission with me stay. The others can leave for now. I will say this first, you only have one chance to join me. If you don’t want to join and refuse to leave, I will kill you immediately.”
A tossed stone would raise a thousand ripples! After hearing Lin Jie, the crowd burst into chatters.
“My God, Main Plot dungeon! Wouldn’t it mean that we will be fighting with Savage Blade if we join Lone Wolf’s team?” Those who looked up to the Brotherhood exclaimed in joy, “I want to join! I want to join!”
“Idiot, Lone Wolf is obviously looking for cannon fodder. He cannot bear to send out his own people, which is why he wants us to join his team and die for him.” Some players snorted and said, “Lone Wolf, you may have prestige in the game, but it seems like you are just using us as cannon fodder. How do you expect us to be convinced?”
Lin Jie raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, “Letting you live is the greatest benefit there is.”
“You!” exclaimed one of the players with a cold expression as he drew out his longsword. “I heard that you are really famous and put on great airs in the City of Light. Why don’t you PK with me right now? If you win, I’ll give you command over all my men in Neptune. If you lose, you can shut up obediently and hand over the progress of the Main Plot Mission. Do you dare?”
Everyone was shocked.
There was someone who dared to challenge Lone Wolf? Who in the world was this arrogant punk?
“Neptune! I remember now, he is Sky Wing from Neptune. His nickname is Instakill King.”
“Are you talking about that Neptune, who allied with the NPCs?”
“Forming an alliance with NPCs means that they can receive many good missions. There’s a chance he has abilities that are through the roof and can defeat Lone Wolf!”
The players were in a heated discussion about the Warrior called Sky Wing in front of them. He had some fame in the City of Sea King with the nickname Instakill King and belonged to the guild Neptune. In The New Age, player guilds were not allowed to be named after the main city. How had Neptune earned their name then? That was because it was a guild that had been created by NPCs. There were fewer players in the City of Sea King, to begin with. If they were to start an internal conflict, what would be left? How many players would survive in the end?
As such, NPCs had created a guild to aid the player guilds. They provided resources, missions, rewards, buildings, and more. The players were all just puppets, and Neptune’s power actually came from the NPCs!
Collaborating with the NPCs would mean that the rewards were greater. However, it also meant that they had little authority. In the future, internal strife in Neptune was bound to happen. With the NPCs’ intelligence, they could remove all those who were against them from Neptune before the players could rebel.
“Hmph, Lone Wolf, what are you thinking? Are you scared? Come on!” Sky Wing laughed, and a sky-blue longsword appeared. It was made from condensed blue crystals from the deep ocean and the bone of an entire swordfish. The sword was a Gold weapon that was extremely close to that of the Dark Gold level. Without giving Lin Jie a chance to reply, he cast Forward Charge and rushed towards him!
His Forward Charge was a strengthening skill just like Lin Jie’s Hunter’s Forward Charge. It contained aura from the sea, so there were Water Elements everywhere that gathered to form ice crystals. They reduced the speed of other players so that they could not escape his Forward Charge.
“I’ll show you the power of the City of Sea King! Sonic Speed Instakill!” Sky Wing cried out as his longsword shrank into a thin line. It was condensed with high pressure to form a metal that was the same width as a needle. With lightning speed, the blade headed for Lin Jie’s neck.
“It’s appeared! Sonic Speed Instakill!”
“This move is one of the few skills with a chance of causing a fatality! Furthermore, when used in the City of Sea King, the chance is even higher! ”
“Fatality! My god, is that the special skill that kills upon critical hit?”
“No wonder he has the confidence to challenge Lone Wolf. No matter how strong the Boss is, they are not able to defend against the chance of instant death.”

“His skill must be ineffective against Bosses. Otherwise, the City of Sea King would have been famous.”
His move caught the attention of everybody there. Sky Wing’s famous skill, Sonic Speed Instakill, had a 20% chance of killing an opponent immediately, which was extremely powerful. In the past, the highest fatality rate of a skill had only been 8%! Furthermore, Sky Wing had another special skill—Sonic Blade.
His skill was different from Lin Jie’s Wolf Run Swordsmanship. His Sonic Blade specialized in instant explosion, with a cooldown of up to 12 hours. In an instant, he could slash 5 times with damage of 15% of his attack power. However… his abilities could be stacked, which meant that Sonic Speed Instakill and Sonic Blade could be used together!
Sky Wing reached! His needle-like longsword slashed out 5 sword shadows, which cut through the air and headed for Lin Jie.
Clink! Clink! Clink! Clink! Clink!
‘Five Critical Hits!’ As Sky Wing was celebrating in his mind, he suddenly realized that Lin Jie continued to stand with his arms folded as if he had not received any attacks! There was not a single mark on Lin Jie’s body that was left behind by his attacks. Only 5 pieces of sky-blue scales fell onto the floor in broken pieces.
“This—” The colors drained from Sky Wing’s face. What was going on? Scales? What in the world was that?
That was the Sea King Scaly Armor! On top of fortifying the Enchanted Scaly Armor, it provided 5 scales that could absorb damage of up to 5% of the user’s health each. Just nicely, each scale was sufficient to block the attack from the hits. Sky Wing’s Sonic Blade may be pretty good, but his Attack was too low! It was an impossible feat for him to break through Lin Jie’s defense.
Lin Jie looked at him coldly. With a swing of his Broken Blade, a Blade Aura descended from the sky.
Shield Cut!
-1,728!
Slash!
Sky Wing’s health bar was depleted by half. While he was in a panic, another Blade aura flew towards him!
-1,273!
-203!
Bang—
Sky Wing was knocked into the air and turned into a corpse.
“How dare you kill the leader of Neptune! Lone Wolf, you have made an enemy of the City of Sea King! Kill him!” A loyal lackey cried out. He waved his hand only to realize that nobody followed his signal. He was the only one who stood out like a black sheep, looking extremely weak and helpless.
“You… You guys, what are you scared of? Let’s get him!” The lackey tried his best to encourage the others but to no avail.
The Instakill King, Sky Wing, was one of the top 10 players of the City of Sea King. He was able to slice up people as if he was cutting vegetables, killing them instantly. He went up against Lin Jie with his signature instantkill move Sonic Speed Instakill, but what happened? He only managed to break 5 pieces of Lin Jie’s scales. In the end, Lin Jie’s health bar was still completely full!
The lackey was seething with rage and cursed as he got ready to escape, “Lone Wolf, I will be back with my people from Neptune! That’ll be the end for you!”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
-482! -426! -400! -426! -455!
Silent Killer shot five times in a row! The lackey died immediately, with five new holes opened up in his chest.
Ding~
—’You have collected 1,000 souls. Find the [Soul Transfer Ritual] and the other ingredients.’
What a coincidence, that person was actually the 1,000th soul.
“I welcome anybody who would still like to challenge me.” With a flick of his hand, Lin Jie had killed InstaKill King of the City of Sea King. He had displayed his prowess and proved that he was the strongest, shutting everybody up as they were afraid that they may end up in Sky Wing’s footsteps. Lin Jie waved his hand as he said, “I think we can discuss our collaboration now.
“The flow of the mission is very simple. We have already discovered the source of Dark Holy Water. However, we will have to kill a Boss in order to get there. The players from the City of Sea King should have heard of this Boss. It’s called the Three-Headed Serpent.” Lin Jie paused before adding, “The Sub-Legendary Boss!”
“What!? Three-Headed Serpent!”
“I’ve heard that it is in the Mesosaprobic Shrine and is among the top three super monsters in the City of Sea King. If it is killed, the blood extracted from the serpent can help drastically increase one’s proficiency in Aqua Elemental Magic.”
“Also, the three skulls can be used to make the Fire Serpent Wand, Ice Serpent Wand, and Wind Serpent Wand! Together, they will form the Sub-Legendary Elemental Wands set!”
“Ah, hah! Our Bandits Association has already offered a reward for the Three-Headed Serpent. The skin of the serpent can be used to forge a few dozen pieces of Gold Leather Armor.”
They were all engaged in a heated discussion about the Three-Headed Serpent with anticipation written all over their faces. The Three-Headed Serpent was precious from its head to its toes. Anybody who could obtain any part of its body would be able to drastically improve their abilities or sell it at an exorbitant price!
Just then, Lin Jie once again dropped a bomb.
“The Fire Serpent, the one with the strongest attack among the Three-Headed Serpent, was already killed by me!”
