Chapter 502: Call Me Boss

Lin Jie’s line of sight gradually turned clearer from being blurry and finally focused on the scenery in front of him.

In front of him was a teleportation circle—it was unknown how many precious materials had been used to build it. That teleportation circle had been split into two, but it was still working, but it squeaked each time it barely managed to spin as if it had consumed all its strength and was about to break. Meanwhile, the three people, Hungry Tiger, Yesterday Morning, and Tomorrow Night, who were here just now, had already disappeared long ago.

“Darn it, what exactly happened!? Was this the source of the sound I heard just now?” Lin Jie bore with the pain of his hands, losing strength, and tried his best to explore the teleportation circle. With the touch of his hand, he was astonished. “Time Sand! It’s actually Time Sand! How could such an item appear with the current level? No, there are more items… Space Mirror, Elemental Overlord’s Eyes, Time Control Gear, these are all items far beyond the current stage of the game. How could they appear here?”

This teleportation circle, if it appeared five years later, then it might still be reasonable as these items could be found in maps over Level 100, or even only in hidden maps. However, now…

Lin Jie was in shock as he touched the teleportation circle. The game would develop as time passed, no matter if it were NPCs or the progress of the whole world. Now, with the strength of the energy fluctuation from the teleportation circle, it was comparable to a teleportation circle towards the [Underground World], which would only appear in the third expansion pack.

“Exactly who made the teleportation circle? Who were they planning to send here?” Lin Jie had no idea at all. He then remembered a woman—Bi Yueshuang, she definitely knew something!

When Lin Jie turned around and was prepared to find the sisters, he realized that Breeze Wind was already standing behind him. Her eyes were changing from white to black, and back to white, it was obvious she was also in the period of loss of vision during the transformation of Day and Night Sight.

Only after a minute could Breeze Wind see the things in front of her clearly. After being stunned, she asked, “What… is this?”

“A teleportation circle.” Lin Jie took a look at Breeze Wind, he was even a little suspicious of Breeze Wind—this woman was also purposely used in the scheme, which Bi Yueshuang had planned! Maybe they were planning to make him put down his guard and be ambushed by Bi Yueshuang after entering the cave. Since the ambush failed, they changed the plan and completed the teleportation circle.

However, on second thoughts, all the movements from entering the Spider Den were all commanded by Lin Jie himself, so it was totally not related to Breeze Wind.

Noticing the change in Lin Jie’s expressions, Breeze Wind, who was a sensitive woman, immediately understood what Lin Jie had thought. She said in a serious tone, “I do not know what exactly happened, but my sister had already left. However, I obtained a bit of information, I think it might be of use to you.”

“What information?” asked Lin Jie.

“It’s related to the teleportation circle,” said Breeze Wind, “The initiator of building this teleportation circle was a player named Hungry Tiger. I have searched this person’s information before, everything related to The New Age, but there was nothing on him at all. However, I found the information about him in another place.”

As Breeze Wind spoke, she showed Lin Jie a piece of information.

[World Professional E-sports League Member’s Information], within them, there were the China team’s substitute members, Blue Ferocious Tiger, nickname “Hungry Tiger”, Transformation-type Druid, proficient in using fists to battle.

This piece of information was almost a complete match to the Hungry Tiger, who Lin Jie had met.

The World Professional E-sports League was an organization in China that focused on handling things related to World Professional E-sports Competitions. Since the society had developed to such an extent, E-sports had become more and more influential, so the country had also valued such glory as a showcase of the country’s Comprehensive National Power. Therefore, they had set up a specialized organization to manage it.

In the previous few, world-class games—Heaven, Lost World, Heaven, and Earth, and so on, it had been the members of this organization that had been representing the country and participating in all the worldwide competitions.

Lin Jie frowned. He murmured, “Although these people played the same games like normal people, they totally did not belong to the same field. It’s like the difference between the army and commoners, so why would they play this game too with us?”

“I don’t know either, but from my speculation, it may be possible that this person had quit the league,” said Breeze Wind as she shrugged. “Maybe they are training newcomers? Or for another reason?”

“Hmph, training newcomers? The benefits of the league are extremely good, who knows how many people make every possible effort to be able to join it? Do they still need to take the initiative to recruit people and train? Also, if it was really so, then when this guy was recruiting me, he could have just said so. Why did he need to beat around the bush?” Lin Jie sneered. “They definitely have some other goal.”

“Then what are you planning to do?” Breeze Wind continued to ask. She was surprised that they actually tried to recruit Lin Jie.

“Nothing much, forcibly finding clues when there are no clues is useless.” Lin Jie took a deep breath and calmed down quickly. “Now, the most important thing is to increase my strength and develop the City of Light steadily and properly. The people that teleported here are most likely the other members of the league. However, I don’t care what these people want to do. If they come and mess with me, then I will destroy them!”

Breeze Wind was astonished! Lin Jie’s confidence was like a sharp blade, piercing straight into the sky! When she had looked at the information of Hungry Tiger, even she could not help but have cold shivers down her spine. Hungry Tiger knew Vanishing Step, Seven Spinning Slash, and Berserker’s 100 Consecutive Strikes! That was how powerful he was! And that was only the ability of a substitute member, not to mention the regular members! However, Lin Jie did not seem fazed by that at all, as if all of that was nothing to him.

“Breeze, I temporarily believe that you were unaware of everything, but if you want to find the truth, then join Savage Blade. You decide. However, I must warn you beforehand, I will test you. If your technique or character do not meet the requirements, then I will remove you. If I find out that you were hiding the truth about this matter, then don’t blame me for turning against you,” said Lin Jie solemnly—some things were better to be brought out to the open.

Breeze Wind heard what Lin Jie and her pretty face turned pale. Truth be told, what Lin Jie said was really unpleasant to hear, but everything he said was true.

She took two deep breaths and said, “Understood, so how should I call you from now on? Lone Wolf? Or—”

“Call me, boss,” replied Lin Jie.

“…”

Breeze Wind felt extremely awkward. She was unable to say that word, so she mumbled, “Then I’ll still call you Lone Wolf. Although it sounds cocky, it’s convenient to call you that.”

Lin Jie waved his hand. “Anything. Oh right, you’ve been in Sunshine City for so long, so you must be quite knowledgeable about Never Setting Sun, right?”

“Huh?” asked Breeze Wind as she looked at Lin Jie in astonishment, using her eyes to express her doubt.

“Never Setting Sun should have a Guild Base, right?”

“Yea.”

“Give me the coordinates.”

“What do you want to do?” Breeze Wind stared at him.

“I’m feeling a little irritated. I want to go and create a commotion, and also snatch some materials back to build the City of Light on the way. I surely am a good City Leader.” Lin Jie laughed eerily. This trip was too infuriating. Originally, it was simply him wanting to obtain some Mutated Spider Thread and recruit a Druid beauty on the way back. Now, he had encountered Hungry Tiger and the others scheming something—what was most infuriating was that he did not know what they were doing!

The target he wanted to recruit had become somebody else’s pawn. Although he did obtain quite a good healer for his team, the difference between reality and his plan was a little too big.

He had pent up anger and had to unleash it. Since Never Setting Sun was already supporting Baili Xuanyuan and even tried to rule over Sunshine City, which made many discontented, Scorching Sun being the target was the most suitable option!

However, before that, he still had not obtained another treasure.

The teleportation circle in front of him was the biggest treasure! No matter was, be it the Time Sand or Space Mirror, they were all good items that would only appear in the future. Even if Lin Jie was reborn, they were treasures that were hard to obtain! The teleportation circle, which was almost completely destroyed, had already lost its ability to teleport people. When the materials lost the last of their power, the teleportation circle would also get destroyed along with it.

“Death Grip!” Lin Jie’s right hand swelled up by thousand-folds and grabbed towards the teleportation circle. One could only hear the crackling sounds of things breaking. Materials like Time Sand and Space Mirror were scattered and knocked onto the ground by Lin Jie. Those fragments had already lost the power and luster they originally had, only a little bit of light could be seen shining within, which seemed about to be extinguished anytime soon.

There was no time to delay!

Lin Jie spread his Holy Light Winged Armor and immediately started to devour! The prototype for Holy Light Winged Armor was Bone Membrane Armor, an item of Darkness. Absorbing or devouring things were its specialty, simply a simple task for it.

Seeing a large number of rare materials in front of him, Lin Jie’s Holy Light Winged Armor instantly let out a strong suction force and pulled in the brightly shining Time Sand. One could only see that as the Time Sand passed through the Holy Light Winged Armor, the energy within was instantly sucked dry, and it converted to normal sand before being thrown out.

The Space Mirror also broke and was reduced to powder after the meager power of space within was devoured.

In the blink of an eye, that teleportation circle, which contained countless mysterious materials and consumed many resources to be built, was destroyed.

Lin Jie’s Holy Light Winged Armor trembled, the feathers on it were sometimes thick and tidy, but other times, they were in a mess. The feathers changed restlessly. Finally, the Holy Light Winged Armor spread abruptly, and silver ripples could be seen being released. Thye resonated with the surrounding space, revealing space ripples.

Ding~

—’Your [Holy Light Winged Armor] has an additional special skill [Space Movement]. You will teleport 8 yards towards your front. Cooldown time of 2 hours.’

“As expected, such types of skills are really unsuitable for Warriors.” Lin Jie smiled bitterly. Such a short distance teleportation skill’s cooldown time was actually as long as 2 hours. One should know the Mages’ teleportation-type skill [Flash] only had 20 seconds of cooldown time. Such a disparity was naturally because of the difference in the nature of jobs. Mages could control elements, and thus produce energy to twist the space, while Warriors… did they use their muscles to break open space?

No matter what, the evolution of Holy Light Winged Armor once again allowed Lin Jie to have a short-range teleportation ability. If he could absorb all of the space materials used for the whole teleportation circle, such as Time Sand, Space Mirror, and so on, which contained the power of time, it could even reduce the cooldown time for his teleportation skill greatly.

“Would those people who teleported here have these items on them? If they do… I’ll have to find an opportunity to go borrow some.” Lin Jie smiled coldly.
