Chapter 53: Hermit Helmet

“Awo… Damn it.”

Lin Jie put his finger against his nose in an attempt to isolate the damn wolf’s teeth from attacking his face. Although he was not handsome, he could not tolerate his face being scratched like this.

The wild nature of the wolf could vaguely be felt in the ferocious wolf head. Bringing the wolf-head helmet to his head, Lin Jie’s blood-red name suddenly changed, rarely returning to the white-name status of ordinary players, but the name had also changed – Code Lone Wolf!

Two days before the expert-level first clear of Castle Wood…

The burning smell almost cooked the desert, and the air seemed to be soft as water because it could not withstand the burning of the flames.

—-‘You have found Omar Desert.’

Omar Desert was located at the edge border of Town of Meyer. This town, known as Town of War’s Front Line, connected places such as Demon Incisions, Elf Territory, and the Tribe of Darkness!

The Omar Desert was one of the borders between the Guild of Light and the Tribe of Darkness. In Lin Jie’s previous generation, many low-level adventurers had come to explore it and wondered why no monsters were spawned in such a vast map. It was not until the battle of the camps that the answer had been revealed.

Now, it was just a scenery spot.

The Omar Desert did not spawn any treasure chests and monsters. It had nothing but hot weather that was enough to tear away a layer of skin. There was a mysterious and huge boundary in the center of the desert. Before the outbreak of camp war, that boundary would devour all living things that came close to it. Over time, it had become a famous “forbidden zone.”

Now, just as the sun shone directly on the Tropic of Cancer, the junction was closer to the Guild of Light, making the range of activities allowed in the Omar Desert much more limited. But that did not affect Lin Jie’s mood.

His mood was bad enough!

Lin Jie was sitting on the hot sand. Even if the armor was of the Sub-Legendary grade, it could not stop the heat from the ground traveling up to his ass. The only thing he could do for now was to pour water onto his own body. The boiling water vapor was like a mist that covered his entire body.

Nearby was a somewhat fresh Raptor’s corpse. This low-class Orc was not valuable in The New Age. People would slaughter it and make into various delicacies like a pig or a dog.

Lin Jie was waiting for an NPC, Reza the Beast King! He was an Orc who roamed around the Omar Desert all year round near the tribal side and spent less time in the Guild as the enchantment grew stronger. Fortunately, Lin Jie knew his general roaming route, so all he needed to do was just to sit and watch.

Reza’s wandering trajectory was very regular. It was a standard circular motion. Lin Jie believed that he was good in math and he calculated that, if he was lucky, Reza was starting at half-point, he would only have to wait for 40 minutes. If he was unlucky, it would take four and a half hours.

“What bad luck,” cursed Lin Jie and drank water again. It seemed like it had evaporated before it had flowed into his throat. The feeling of dry throat still made him miserable.

Time went by minute by minute, and the timer was accurately stuck in 4 hours, 29 minutes and 59 seconds… The next second, Reza appeared in his vision on time.

It was the worst case!

Lin Jie pulled the corners of his mouth. The fresh Raptor corpse should be barely okay under this kind of exposure. Throwing the Raptor’s corpse on the way to Reza, Lin Jie quickly poured a bottle of primary Invisible potion, and his body gradually faded.

Reza’s race was a bloody Orc. Unlike ordinary Orcs, he could gain power from the Sun, fire and even blood! There were many rewarding tasks hidden in Reza, who had been active in the Omar Desert all the year round, but this had nothing to do with Lin Jie. He was wearing a ragged animal skin dress made from the skin of the Tyrannosaurus King!

At that moment, there was tremendous power in it and… Reza’s sweat. Twisting the clothes, the sweat was squeezed out and dripped into Reza’s big mouth.

Suddenly, a Raptor appeared in front of him.

Because of the burning Sun, the Raptor’s corpse even smelled a little burnt. Reza moved excitedly forward a few steps, grabbed the Raptor’s body and sucked it frantically.

Lin Jie hid in the dark, looking at the blood-guzzling Reza while thinking constantly.

As he thought about it, Lin Jie used Inspect on the Orc.

Reza the Orc: Level ??? Overlord, Health Points: 30,000/???

“Who is it?” Reza suddenly sensed something and roared.

In the next second, Inspect lost its effect. Lin Jie’s heart tightened. In his previous life, even the players promoted to bishop could not see Reza’s Stats, which led players to believe that it was the system settings. Now, it seemed that there were many stories behind it.

‘Overlord with only 30,000 health points… Its perception is too great!’

“WHO?”

The angry roar sounded, and Lin Jie pushed away his thoughts. Furiously, he went up and looked at the Raptor, which had just been sucked up by Reza, and shouted, “My comrade, who killed you?”

Reza was stunned. “Comrade?”

“You, Orc!” Lin Jie pointed Reza at the nose. “It died fighting to protect me. I’m here seeking a mysterious power that could revive him, but you actually ate it!”

Reza went panic, he was a hunter, and the most important thing for a hunter was his pet. A hunter could have no wife, but he could not do without a trusted pet. Orcs had much lower IQ compared to their enormous strength. He felt helpless and said, “I’m sorry, my friend…”

“I’m not your friend! Pay me back Orc!”

“I… I…” Reza frowned. Out of a sudden, he became smarter and asked, “You are a warrior, why do you have a Raptor as your comrade?”

Lin Jie was stunted and thought to himself, ‘F*ck, got caught…’

“Warrior? What’s wrong with being a warrior? You have no idea how fast we humans are developing, do you? The Beast Team in Guild of Light is ready for war. What’s wrong with me, a warrior, having a pet?”

‘Screw it… I’ll just see how it goes…’

Luckily, Reza was very straightforward and did not rebut a single word.

Lin Jie shouted until it was hard for him to go on further. He took a breath, extended his hand and said, “Pay me!”

“I know you are lying from your eyes, Human.” Reza snorted and took out his beloved wolf-head helmet. He threw it to Lin Jie and said, “But I’ll compensate you anyway. Remember, this is the pity from an Orc.”

—–‘You have received a Hermit Helmet (Accessory)’

Lin Jie was relieved.

Would an Orc be threatened? No! He would have shot Lin Jie with his arrow on the back if he didn’t know that Lin Jie was lying.

“Hey, Big Boy.” Lin Jie looked at the Raptor’s body, and an idea came to his mind. “Do you want more blood? Since I came from the Guild of Light, maybe I could provide you with lots of fresh blood.”

When Lin Jie mentioned about “Guild of Light,” Reza’s eyes were filled with ferocity. Most of the land of Tribe of Darkness was raided by the Guild of Light, causing their life to be very miserable. But in the eye of an Orc, the Guild of Light was no less than heaven.

“Bring me the goods.” Reza snorted before he turned around and disappeared.

—–‘Shop of Reza the Orc is activated. You can use animal’s blood or bodies to exchange for Hermit Helmet.’

Lin Jie was very glad.

It had not been hard to activate Shop of Reza the Orc in his previous life. The troublesome part was on how to purchase the items in the shop. Reza was not in need of money. But as a hunter, he had a crazy love for Pets’ eggs. One pet egg could be exchanged for 10 Hermit Helmet.

In terms of value, a Normal Pet Egg cost about a few silver coins to a dozen gold coins, while a Legendary Pet Egg could cost more than 1,000 gold coins. A Raptor was only worth 50 bronze coins.

However, NPC had a different worldview compared to players. In their eyes, meat was far better than eggs.

After activating the Shop of Reza the Orc, Lin Jie used that Raptor and exchanged for 102 Hermit Helmet.

Hermit Helmet (Accessory)

…

“Hermit Helmet can change your names into Code, and Code cannot be repeated,” explained Lin Jie to everyone.

Qiu Yuan, Netherblue, Water, Wine God Youngster, the Priest that could not perform Soul Traction and Innocent Killer were standing in front of him. Looking at them made Lin Jie feel a sense of sorrow. In his previous life, all of them had been on his side.

Lin Jie’s action was definitely considered as a form of betrayal to the team. Even the innocent Zheng Ziliang was blamed together with Lin Jie. The moment he went online, he was scolded by his teammates badly. Although he knew everything Lin Jie had planned, he could only keep the secret for Lin Jie.

“You mean we should wear those helmets and use the strategy and items provided by you to get the first clear of the expert-level dungeon in the name of Brotherhood?” Netherblue looked at the helmet in her hand. Her tall body was covered with light blue scale armor, which made her temperament more popular and colder. She took a quiet look at Qiu Yuan and smiled. “Fu Sheng, do you think we’ll help you? And doesn’t it seem different from our previous agreement?”

Lin Jie took a deep breath and said, “I’m not very sure.”

“Help? I don’t want to be sold again and yet keep doing your bidding,” Qiu Yuan looked at Lin Jie and sneered, “Boss Fu Sheng. Oh, no. I should be calling you the leader of Brotherhood now. We’ve done our utmost best to help you hide the information. Even our teammates don’t know that you were the one who got the first clear!”

Although Netherblue had told her about the agreement, Qiu Yuan still got angrier as she spoke. Because of Fu Sheng, there were conflicts in her team. Even her team was not very harmonious, but they were still united. When her teammates had found out that they could not enter the dungeon the next day, Netherblue had used the excuse of “System Bug” to cover it up. Her team had almost tried blowing up the entire game company.

It was all because of him!

Netherblue waved her hand and signaled Qiu Yuan to stop. “Fu Sheng, I thought you were here to apologies and fulfill the agreement we had. But now, it seems that I was wrong about you. I’m very disappointed in you.”

“You-still-treat-us-like-a-weapon!” Netherblue said word by word.
