Chapter 467 - Job-Changing Token That Cost 1 Silver Coin (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Codename Lone Wolf is here!”
“F*ck, a Hidden Job Abyss Knight Job-Changing Token! This is not an ordinary hidden job. It’s a super-rare and powerful one that’s on the same level as the Red Lotus Knight!”
“I’ve heard that players with Abyss Knight jobs can enter the special map [Abyss] to catch powerful Undead and Devils! Starting price of 1 copper? I’ll give 10 gold coins, 10 gold coins!”
All the players went wild. As the saying went, “A tossed stone raises a thousand ripples!”
Lin Jie was floating in the air, and he slowly descended. The surge of Blade Aura in his palms provided him the power to float along with his Feather Drop and Holy Light Winged Armor.
Lin Jie raised his eyebrows as he looked at the normal player who bidded like a maniac. He said bluntly, “Starting bid at 1 copper coin and maximum price at 1 silver coin. For those who made a higher offer, were you unable to understand me because you haven’t heard my voice in a long time?”
Baili Xuanyuan stood on the Dominating Icicle seething with rage. Out of anger, hundreds of Red Lotuses were formed from his Half Moon Red Lotus Blade and headed towards Lin Jie! He was planning to knock him down while he was still floating in the air.
“Hmph!” Lin Jie scoffed. He slashed out with Broken Blade, and Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner formed a sharp blade immediately. Slicing sounds could be heard as he destroyed the Needfire Red Lotuses one after another!
Looking at the hundred red lotuses, excitement filled Lin Jie. He placed Baili Changcheng in the best position for him to watch his battle. He then turned and rushed towards the incoming Needfire Red Lotuses. His Broken Blade danced in the air as he released his Combo Attack instantly!
Poof! Poof!
Before the Needfire Red Lotuses had the chance to explode, they were sliced by Lin Jie into explosive Red Lotus energy! Lin Jie opened his mouth, and swirls of air current appeared inside, sucking in all of the explosive Red Lotus energy like a black hole.
Lin Jie tilted and burped. Then he scoffed. “You did not progress at all even after so long. These red lotuses were not enough to fill me, why don’t you give me more?”
Baili Xuanyuan stared at Lin Jie in shock. ‘Oh God, that fellow actually… ate my skills?’
Yes, he had eaten them!
It had taken Lin Jie 29 hours to slowly kill the Legendary Boss Munjo Ogre Prince Rocca using ways that normal players would never think of. He then attained the remaining items in the Munjo Treasure Room—over 300 Munjo Skill Books, 200 Gold items, and a large amount of leather, materials, and flesh.
After gaining Wind Rider Sword Saint’s training handbook, he could finally “comprehend” the Berserker’s 100 Consecutive Strikes fully. He had even gained two essential items— Munjo Crown and the Munjo Ogres’ race skill [Devour]!
[Devour]: Active skill. When used, skills and attacks with damage that are lower than 30% of your own attack will be devoured by you and restore health equal to the amount you have swallowed. The skill lasts for 1 second, and every skill or attack you successfully swallow will increase the skill duration by 0.2 seconds. Cooldown time of 15 minutes.
With Lin Jie using Heart of Enrage and Blood Power, his Attack was around 2,500! In other words, any skills that dealt around 750 points of damage or lower would be devoured by him!
Baili Xuanyuan was unable to use the Needfire Red Lotus’ strengthened version with just 1 week’s worth of Ability Points. As such, his damage output had dropped from 350% to 100%. With Lin Jie’s Defense, how much damage could he even deal?
This was the greatest weakness of a Red Lotus Knight!
Under normal circumstances, Devour was a skill that could grant immunity for 1 second every 15 minutes. But in this situation, Devour’s strength Devour was limitless! Baili Xuanyuan would summon hundreds of Red Lotuses at a time. Once Lin Jie devoured them, he could even lengthen the duration of the skill.
“Is this fellow… a monster?” Baili Xuanyuan went pale with shock. Without a large number of Ability Points to use, his skills were of no threat. However, in his moment of rage, he did not think too much. He exhausted all of his Ability Points and summoned 300 Needfire Red Lotuses to attack Lin Jie!
“Look, look, it’s Baili Xuanyuan’s ultimate attack!”
“This Needfire Red Lotus had forced Lone Wolf to retreat and killed thousands of players previously. Lone Wolf is doomed!”
“No, no, look… F*ck!”
Just as the 300 Needfire Red Lotuses approached Lin Jie and exploded, all of the explosive Red Lotus energy was absorbed into his mouth and devoured by him!
Looking at these Needfire Red Lotuses, Lin Jie laughed. Not only were they of no threat to him, they even extended the duration of his Devour skill. He exclaimed, “Okay, today is Guild Leader Xuanyuan’s auction, so let’s not be a wet blanket. Hurry bid, you are not showing Guild Leader Xuanyuan respect if the first item is not sold at a great price.”
The normal players were stunned. They then continued to bid. However, how could the price of a Hidden Job Abyss Knight Job-Changing Token be so low? Lone Wolf had said the starting bid was 1 copper coin, and the maximum price was 1 silver coin. Only an idiot would take him for his word! The bunch of people started to make offers, hoping that Lone Wolf would sell the token to them at a lower price.
“1,000 gold coins!”
“1,500 gold coins!”
The price continued to increase. Who wouldn’t be interested in a hidden job? Everyone was bidding with their entire assets. What if an offer made Lone Wolf happy, and he decided to sell it?
“I… I’ll give 1 silver coin.”
Just then, a weak voice sounded. This player was an extremely young Paladin, who looked like a student. He was just at Level 15 and was holding the 10-gold-coin red packet that Bali Xuanyuan had gifted them.
