Chapter 453 - 453 Munjo Underground City (1/2)

453 Munjo Underground City

“I m- messed up!”

Lin Jie panicked. He had actually killed his sparring partner by accident… How pitiful. Tomorrow Night was just a Bandit with paper-thin Defense. Originally, they were both considered masters and would test out their skills on each other to train themselves, without much harm done.

However, after he started competing with Lin Jie on their Combo Attacks, their fight became heated and intense. Tomorrow Night realized that he was unable to suppress the strength of a Berserker. Unfortunately, as one who took pride in himself, he was extremely indignant.

It would be fine to say that the opponent’s powerful equipment and stats overpowered him. However, they were competing purely based on their skills and techniques. He should have the job advantage, yet he was still defeated. His indignance, as well as the stress he felt, pushed him to exceed his limit. He felt a breakthrough of his skills, and he fought evenly with Lin Jie with even more power.

Lin Jie’s competitive spirit was also ignited. Both parties did not care about anything and fought each other without holding back. The moment the rhythm of the fight started, they could not stop. Since Lin Jie’s stats and equipment were one whole level above Tomorrow Night’s, the result was predictable. Lin Jie did not hold back his attack in time, and Tomorrow Night was defeated.

Swoosh!

Tomorrow Night’s body stood up slowly, and his eyes opened once again. His condition was restored. He had used a rare on the spot resurrection tool, which was a priceless treasure. An item like this could be easily sold for over a few thousand gold coins. After all, what was more important than one’s own levels and equipment?

“How strong!” Tomorrow Night stared at Lin Jie for a long time before raising his thumbs up. He said earnestly, “Really strong!”

Lin Jie heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, “Hehe, that, I didn’t hold back in time and killed you.”

Tomorrow Night nodded expressionlessly. He went to Yesterday Morning, who was at the side and gave him a good smack on his head, getting rid of his stealth-hit state. Tomorrow Night then waved his hand to show that he did not mind at all. His eyes were filled with admiration for him. He was envious of Lin Jie not for his equipment or stats, but another thing: combo attack! If he could achieve up to 90 combos, nobody would be able to compete with him!

“F*ck you fatso, you stupid showoff, you dwarf… I accompanied you on this mission out of goodwill, and instead, you hit me with a stick.” Yesterday Morning, who had been watching a few minutes of the battle in his stealth-hit state and was itching to battle, cursed out loud. He said seriously to Lin Jie, “No, you’ve let him have all the fun. Entertain me too.”

Lin Jie wiped his cheek and silently drew out his Broken Blade, leaving a vicious-looking track on the ground. He then glared at Yesterday Morning.

“Hehe, I’m just kidding.” Yesterday Morning shrunk back sheepishly. He turned to his old partner and began mocking him. “Serves you right! You thought too much of your strength. Now that your only resurrection tool is gone, are you happy?”

Tomorrow Night fiddled with his dagger, and his eyes were looking down. It was clear that his mind was still caught up in the previous battle, and he was not listening to Yesterday Morning’s nagging at all. The tall and skinny Bandit became bored and sat down on the ground with a safe distance from Lin Jie. This distance also meant that he would not attack Lin Jie.

“Codename Lone Wolf?” Yesterday Morning looked over 30 years old but was already balding, and the few strands of hair left on his head were growing white. He carefully touched the remaining hair on his head, then turned and said, “Don’t be quick to deny it. We’ve been trying to find you for a long time, and only caught up with your tracks now.”

Lin Jie was slightly surprised. “Find me?”

Yesterday Morning nodded and projected a picture into the sky. It was a mission notification letter. The task was to kill Lin Jie and attain his weapon. The reward was 10,000 gold coins, which was… 10,000,000$!

“Hehe, even I want to kill myself and get the gold reward.” Lin Jie licked his lips. His eyes were cold as he said, “Since you’ve accepted a mission to kill me, what are you playing at now? Peaceful negotiation? Or to paralyze and attack me?”

“Don’t misunderstand, the two of us have always been ones that kill openly and without any schemes. You can trust us on this. Our goal is simple as we’ve also received the mission at the Blade Peak Canyon. You should know, Bandits specialize in exploration missions. A mission like this, which requires us to kill monsters, is very difficult. If it were not for you, we would have to spend a lot of time clearing the Munjo Ogre campsite.”

“Let’s team up!” Tomorrow Night blurted out three words.

Yesterday Morning nodded and said, “Yes, a team. We’ll work together and explore the Blade Peak Canyon. There are many treasures hidden in this map. As for the loot, we will take half while you take the other. When we find a treasure vault with an item that is valuable enough for us to kill each other, we’ll then fight it out. What do you think?”

“You are really straight to the point.” Lin Jie laughed.

They made their motives clear: Team up, enter the Blade Peak Canyon together, and split the loot by half. If they encountered an item so precious that everybody wanted to own it, they would fight each other, without holding grudges later.

Tomorrow Night stared at Lin Jie and asked, “What do you think?”
