Chapter 48 Portable Guardian Crossbow Middle-Grade (1/2)

The system announcement caused another uproar amongst the players!

Job-changing missions required players to reach level 10. After that, one could find a job mentor to accept the mission. According to the grade of NPCs sought, missions were divided into five levels similar to dungeons: Simple, Normal, Difficult, Master, Expert.

Completion of Simple mission would grant a player a job-changing certificate.

Completion of Normal mission would grant a player to learn an extra normal skill and training suggestions.

Completion of Difficult mission would grant a player mission for that job. Upon completion of that mission, one could receive items for the job. For example, a mount for Forward Charge Paladin summoned beast for Summoners. It was the greatest goal for normal players to complete the Difficult mission.

Shard of Dark Gold equipment and its lead would be rewarded for Master mission.

A torn treasure map would be rewarded for Expert mission.

Looking at the reward, most players would choose the Difficult mission as it was the most cost-effective one.

Eighteen Massacres had chosen a Simple mission and could only get a certificate for job-changing. Moreover, because of the lack of ”Absence of Firm Belief in Victory,” Eighteen Massacres was not liked by the mentors in Holy Church. He could only eliminate their prejudice against him after completing a series of low-paid Holy Church missions.

In Lin Jie's previous life, Eighteen Massacres had completed the Expert mission! Again, history had changed.

Lin Jie sighed for no reason. In the long run, it had a great impact on the strength of Eighteen Massacres. But now, his fame was soaring in an instant. The first person in the ranking and the first person in job-changing could revitalize the Kingdom of Glory.

The very next moment, a post appeared on the forum: Eighteen Massacres will lead the elite team of the Kingdom of Glory to explore the Difficult-level of Castle Wood.

Within half a minute, the Wine God Elder sent in a message, ”Fu Sheng, Eighteen Massacres is a very strong competitor. I'm not sure I'll get the first clear in the Difficult-level.” Wine God added with a solemn face, ”My team is still in the exploratory stage for the time being. The strength of Timmy the werewolf is a little unsatisfactory.”

It was such a pain to suppress the reputation of the Kingdom of Glory, how could they be granted another chance?

Lin Jie smiled and said, ”I'll give you a surprise. Hehe.”

”Eh…?” Wine God was stunted.

In Blacksmith's Shop in the City of Light.

Blue's strong arms tempered the raw form of the sword regularly. The short sword was covered with a red flame of high temperature when it was completed. It was then put into the Cold Spring at the side.

Sizzzz-

A cloud of smoke rose.

”Done!”

”Hey, don't go! I've still some more here!”

”We must get the equipment!”

The Blacksmith's Shop had been crowded with players since the forger Blue had been upgraded. Because he was a pro, there was a limited supply of Bronze items created by Blue, and the refresh time was uncertain. Many headhunters especially stayed there for a long time and immediately bought the equipment once it was refreshed.

Blue carried the equipment outside and shouted, ”Move away!” After all, he had leveled up, and he was very confident.

Players flattered and laughed while moving aside. When the equipment was on the shelf, everyone rushed up.

”Business is good, isn't it?” A familiar voice sounded.

”You don't say, I'm Master Blue…” Blue answered half angrily, and quickly stopped the second half of the sentence after looking carefully, ”My Lord, long time no see.”

Blue's personality was rather simple, in other words, he was stubborn. He believed that the reason why he could have a breakthrough was all bestowed by Lin Jie. In addition, Lin Jie had said at that time, ”I won't hold you accountable if you fail.” The muscular and simple-minded man had been touched for several days.

Players were shocked. The master's temper was notoriously bad. How could he be so polite to this person?

Everyone was stunned when they saw the red name of Lin Jie.

”What?”

”Entering the city with a red name?”

”No, it's not a red name. It's almost purple! Has this guy killed hundreds of people?”

Yes, Lin Jie's red name had been hard to eliminate since he was outsmarted by the mission of the Light Priest Yatasha. However, he gained quite a lot of prestige. Entering the city with a red name was such a trivial matter! Lin Jie had long been accustomed to the envy and jealousy of the crowd.

”Master Blue, I want you to help me forge something,” Lin Jie said, ”a Portable Guardian Crossbow and 100 arrows. I don't have the materials for the time being, but I can pay you with gold coins.”

The so-called Guardian Crossbow was also known as the Siege Crossbow! It was heavy, long-ranged, and it could cause terrifying damage. It was the necessary weapon to bring down a city. Of course, its forging materials were also extremely valuable. That Portable Guardian Crossbow, as its name implied, had greatly reduced its attributes in all aspects. The only special thing about it was that it could be carried by players rather than fixed on the wall.

Of course, as a cost of lightness, the Portable Guardian Crossbow could only be used 100 times before getting destroyed.

The price of large equipment increased with the pricing system in the game. For example, when the players were still using mostly silver coins, the cost of a Portable Guardian Crossbow was 15 gold coins! If Lin Jie did not have the title of ”Viscount” and some friendship with Master Blue, he would not really want to get a huge crossbow at this stage.

Only a Senior Blacksmith or Engineer was qualified to forge a Portable Guardian Crossbow.

Blue scratched his shiny bald head in embarrassment. ”My Lord, this…”
