Chapter 523: Charming Smile

“Infinite Durability? Really?” Very Fat could not help but ask. The so-called Infinite Durability was an equipment attribute that every player wanted. As its name suggested, the durability of the equipment would not decrease ever again.

To normal players, the cost of repairing their equipment was very high—the shameless NPC Blacksmiths would exploit almost 30% of the profits earned in a day in the name of repairing equipment.

Meanwhile, for experts, they were also troubled by the problem of equipment durability. For example, they were just having a good time farming monsters in an extremely suitable map, but they suddenly realized that their equipment had 0 Durability, how annoying would that be?

As compared to Very Fat, Dark Earl’s reaction was much more straightforward. He immediately removed the cloak on him and directly threw it in. The cloak instantly exuded a pale green light—a change had obviously occurred. Then, when he took back his equipment, he was left dumbstruck. Only after a while did he let out a hearty peal of laughter. “Hahahahahaha! Infinite Durability!”

Lin Jie was slightly shocked, and he asked casually, “Success with the first try? Could you show us your equipment?”

“Haha, no problem!” Dark Earl waved his hand boldly, revealing the attributes of his cloak.

[Vampire’s Cloak] (Dark Gold)

Requires: Level 40, Job: Vampire

Defense: 48-56

Wisdom: +50

Spirit: +50

Health Points: +500

Additional effect: When you use skills, the Health Points lost will all be converted into your Attack Power, lasts for 2 seconds.

Additional effect: Life-Steal +40%

Special skill: Bats’ Movement (When you use bat-type skills, you can change positions with the flying bats once)

Additional effect: Infinite Durability

Note: The Vampire’s Cloak has not evolved to the final form. You need to feed it enough blood every day for it to unleash its strongest power.

“Such a pity…” Lin Jie looked at the attributes, and his eyes lit up, but he had said such a thing in a soft voice.

Dark Earl immediately felt a shiver down his back. ‘Why do I feel that when he said that, he had the expression of wanting to devour this item?’

The Vampire’s Cloak’s attributes could be said to be perfect. The additional attributes were over the roof and could completely unleash the full potential of the special feature of the Vampire. The Bats’ Movement was equal to having a skill where one could come and go without leaving a trace—he could be said to be more agile than the Mages who knew Flash. However, what was most annoying was that the job was restricted to Vampire only, or else Lin Jie might be interested.

In Lin Jie’s previous life, the Vampire Cloak had been treasured and protected by Dark Earl. He had purposely hidden the equipment attributes, and there had been no rumors of anyone obtaining such an item besides Dark Earl. Therefore, no one exactly knew what attributes the Vampire’s Cloak had.

In this life, Lin Jie had the chance to witness the attributes. In the later game, this item would indeed be mighty!

Very Fat also threw all his gear in and took them back while full of anticipation. However, he realized that each item had only increased some resistance—not one of them was enhanced with the Infinite Durability special effect. He pouted and complained, “It must be Dark’s cloak that has absorbed all our luck.”

Dark Earl almost had his nose out of joint from anger, but he just simply ignored that fatso.

After soaking the two guild leaders’ equipment, the decrease in the level of the Carrion Pool was almost negligible. Lin Jie smiled and said, “Have both of you finished soaking your equipment?”

“Yeap, Lone Wolf, you should immerse your equipment too. We’ll continue advancing after that,” said Very Fat.

Lin Jie threw his two Sub-Legendary items, Kiara Beast King Armor and Death Light Helmet, in the pool. The whole Carrion Pool started boiling instantly! The Carrion Pool was a liquid used to preserve Primordial remains, so it was an extremely precious item. Therefore, how could normal Dark Gold items completely reveal its effects? Naturally, it needed items above Sub-Legendary to be able to unleash the effects of the liquid completely!

The Carrion Pool started to dry up in the speed observable by naked eyes and was completely absorbed by the two items! Such a scene made the two guild leaders gasp. When the two items were picked up from the pool, they could not help but ask, “So how did it go?”

Lin Jie took a look, and a shred of surprise flashed in his eyes. The Kiara Beast King Armor had the Infinite Durability attribute, and another two effects were increased too:

One, Nature-type Damage reduced by 15%.

Two, Corrosive Armor, attacks from the enemy unit would speed up the decrease of their weapon’s durability by 30%.

As for the Death Light Helmet, it did not change at all. That was the difference in the Sub-Legendary items, either the quality would increase greatly, or there would be no change at all. Uh, this was the legendary—tsundere.

“My luck is quite good. Let’s go. We will go to the next map since the Soldier’s Tomb has been cleared,” said Lin Jie. Then he turned and left without revealing his equipment attributes.

Very Fat stared at Lin Jie’s equipment and looked like he wanted to speak, but he stopped himself. He wanted to see Lone Wolf’s equipment attributes badly, but he still resisted the urge to do so. He said, “Alright, should we go to the Hall of Abomination or Hall of Corpses?”

“The Hall of Abomination,” replied Lin Jie straightforwardly.

They walked out of the Mediumship Tower and immediately headed to another map. The Hall of Abomination also had up to a hundred maps like the Soldier’s Tomb. The condition to enter the Mediumship Tower was quite simple, the monsters in the Hall of Abomination would randomly drop the key, and the chances of the key being dropped was around 0.2%. They would be able to use the key to enter the Mediumship Tower.

Just as they reached outside the map, they could see a large crowd of players gathered in the dimly lit hall. That was the overall map of the Hall of Abomination. Many solo players and guild players were teaming up to kill the Abominations. They were busily leveling up.

Abominations were the most disgusting monsters in the Dark Shrine. They were sewn together by countless corpses and were nicknamed as Stitches. When dealing with such a monster, nearly 80% of the girls would choose to avoid it as its looks were really revolting. Basically, the appearance of all Abominations in The New Age were similar: Besides the body of rotten flesh, its surface was filled with festered bloody blisters and injuries. There were even flies flying around everywhere on the exposed flesh, which was in a bloody mess. It did not have a right palm, and what replaced it was an iron hook.

That would be related to one of the Abominations’ skill, Hook Pull. The skill’s effect was to pull an enemy unit within a 40 yards radius to its side. Then the attack afterward would be decided according to the grade of the Abomination, the higher the grade, the larger the variety of the Abomination’s attack.

“Our Knight’s Glory players are mostly gathered in this map, some of them have already obtained keys… Eh?” Just as Very Fat was speaking, a commotion took place in front of them.

A small group of players surrounded a double-headed Spirit Wolf and was trying to kill it. They angrily threw various attacks onto it, but that Spirit Wolf’s speed was exceptionally fast. It seemed as if that group of people had already attacked that wolf for quite a long time, but they were unable to truly deal much damage to it.

After seeing Lin Jie and the others, the eyes of that double-headed Spirit Wolf lit up. It immediately rushed towards Lin Jie and hid behind him, rubbing his leg as if it was being affectionate.

Lin Jie smiled bitterly. “Hey, what did you do?”

The Spirit Wolf was the exclusive transformation skill of Shamans. They would lose all attacking ability after transformation, but their Movement Speed would be increased by 35% and could effectively decrease one’s aggro. Meanwhile, this double-headed wolf was obviously a Strengthened Skill as its Movement Speed was much faster than normal Spirit Wolves.

The Spirit Wolf gradually transformed, and the figure of a slim, fashionable young girl appeared—it was Charming Smile. She pouted and said, “It was just something small that happened. Please help me out!”

“Small matter? We were kind enough to pull you into the team and help you level up, but look at what you did. You actually played tricks behind our backs during the crucial moment when we were farming the monsters and caused my brother to die. You even took the chance to pick up the equipment he had dropped!” A player pointed at Charming Smile furiously, then he took a look at Lone Wolf and forcibly repressed his anger. He said in a low voice, “Greetings, Leader Lone Wolf!”

Lin Jie instantly understood. Indeed, her bad habit had kicked in! Charming Smile was not a bad person. It’s just a pity that she was too greedy—greed was in her nature. Most probably, she had discovered that her teammates had good, valuable equipment. Thus, she had stabbed them in the back and caused their death so she could take the chance to obtain their items.

“Hey, return the items to them,” said Lin Jie. He also did not like that bad habit of Charming Smile.

“I didn’t take them! The Boss was killed by us together as a team, but in the end, they wanted to take all the dropped equipment. I had no choice but to collect some spoil from the items dropped as compensation,” said Charming Smile pitifully. She pouted, and her eyes were teary. Then, she pointed at that player in frustration. “Hey, you’re too much! How long will you keep slandering me?”

“What f*cking bullsh*t are you spouting!?” That player was obviously an impatient person, so he directly swore after being provoked by Charming Smile.

“Do you know how to speak properly?” said Dark Earl in a deep voice, while frowning.

Currently, Charming Smile was hiding behind Lin Jie pitifully while the other party was aggressive and spewing profane words. In addition, Charming Smile’s explanation was also quite reasonable, so Dark Earl was already biased towards the beauty.

However, he did not hastily stand up for her as it was obvious that Codename Lone Wolf knew that beauty, and he had not spoken yet.

Lin Jie listened quietly, not showing his stance.

After that player swore, they focused their hope onto the Brotherhood’s leader. However, he was a player from the City of Light, so naturally, he had heard many rumors related to Codename Lone Wolf, such as being protective of his own men or being extremely protective of his own men. This was a guy who was willing to make a scene at the system’s Final Tournament for his comrades! That man took a deep breath. If he had angered Lone Wolf, then not to mention not getting back his equipment, most likely, it would be over for him, right?

Facing such a powerful person, he would not even have the thought of resisting. If Lone Wolf were savage and unreasonable, then it would be better for them to retreat! He gritted his teeth and said, “Leader Lone Wolf, it’s not as she said—”

“I know.” Lin Jie waved his hand, and instantly all the solo players that had been chasing Charming Smile were stunned.

Lin Jie stretched out his hand calmly and said to Charming Smile. “Take them out.”

“Take them out? Take what out?” Charming Smile subconsciously took a step back.

“You killed a person and took the equipment that he dropped, return it to its owner, and apologize to him,” said Lin Jie. If he wanted Charming Smile to join his team, then he had to change her bad habit.

Charming Smile’s pupils constricted. She had never expected that Lin Jie would help outsiders! With his strength, even if he talked black into white, that group of players would have no way to get back their equipment! She used her last resort and said, “But, what I said is true! You invited me to join the Best Of The Best competition if you don’t even believe me, how do I cooperate with you?”

After hearing what she said, that player’s face was as white as a sheet. So these two people were teammates! Charming Smile’s meaning was clear unless Lone Wolf helped her, she would not help Lone Wolf in the competition. Rumors said that Lone Wolf cared most about interest, so wasn’t it obvious how he would choose?

‘Forget it. How about I take a step back, maybe Lone Wolf might even give me some compensation…” That player thought in his heart, but he suddenly heard Lin Jie’s reply.

Lin Jie said calmly, “Return the items to them, or else there is no need for us to cooperate. Working together in a team is to leave your back to your teammates! If your cooperation partner were someone who would stab you in the back anytime, then would you still work with such a person? I give you three seconds, return the items. Normal players also have their pride, they are not to be bullied by you in this way.”
