Chapter 38 Castle Wood (1/2)
”Lin Jie, where the heck is this worn-down place?”
Zheng Ziliang frowned and stretched his hand to his right shoulder. His face was full of disgust as he swiped the dry and rotten palms onto the ground. In this half an hour, a dead corpse would fall from the sky with every step taken, and it just happened to fall onto him.
”Castle Wood,” said Lin Jie faintly.
Built on the vast expanse of the mountains was the famous Blade Mountain. One side of the mountain was sharp like a blade, while the other side was like a junkyard. Before the opening of Wood Castle, entering the dungeon from the back hill was a very practical method to avoid most monsters.
But after the dungeon was opened, it was depressing. All the monsters killed in Wood Castle were thrown down. As they raised their head to look up, the corpses were like snow, making one's hair stand on end as the corpse fell onto the person.
The Wood Castle dungeon would be popular for a long time, reaching the peak of its popularity as the players' levels were raised to 10. The trial for job change needed players to gather at least one bronze set.
On the market, the price of the lower-level Poison-Antidote Potion had dropped slightly. The reason being the merchants who opened their goods to earn money disrupted the market price. Only Lin Jie remained very calm and kept the price high. For that reason, the Sky Provisions Shop had been despised by many people.
Even so, the profit of the lower-level Poison-Antidote Potion was still very high. Lin Jie's warehouse had deposited an extra 40 gold coins!
In addition, the Sky Provisions Shop gradually got onto the right track under the management of Seven Ears. 40 gold coins were used as starting money to buy a large number of low-priced goods, at least 20% were pawned goods, which could be sold to earn money after the redemption deadline.
Dead Fish Eye also contacted him not long ago, to ask when he needed to fulfill the promise, but he postponed it again and again.
”I can go for a level 5 dungeon with my level now?” asked Zheng Ziliang, lacking in confidence. He did not want to hinder him by pulling him down.
”Don't worry, I know what I am doing, or else why would I ask you for help?” Lin Jie laughed.
The two of them climbed to the top of the mountain in the pile of bloody corpses, everywhere was dark. The castle that looked like a devil's giant mouth stood tall and straight in front of them.
The crowd was like a mass of bobbing heads.
”Simple-level castle dungeon team recruiting, any MT come and join us. Let's quickly enter the dungeon.”
”Any team is short of a healer? A healer with all bronze equipment is requesting for a team!”
”OMG, a priest with all bronze equipment! Big brother, please come to my team…”
The most popular job in a dungeon would either be MT or healers. Before players changed jobs, only the priest had a considerable healing ability.
Whereas the other few jobs that had the ability to heal, such as the Paladin, Shaman, Gladiator, etc., were much worse in terms of healing extent.
Several teams had their eyes lit up when they saw Lin Jie. High-level warriors with good equipment were the ones who were the most sought after. With just a hook of their finger, who knew how many teams would voluntarily invite him.
Only when they saw Zheng Ziliang did those people calm down. They all thought that he was helping a noob to level up.
Simple-level dungeons' difficulty level was not low, not to mention the trouble of bringing a liability with him! After a few minutes, only a level 5 Paladin with all blank equipment came to invite Lin Jie to join the team.
”No need.” Lin Jie waved his hand and stood at the entrance of the dungeon.
Suddenly, the crowd burst into chatters, getting excited.
A team of ten people strode proudly towards the dungeon. They were dressed in black-toned clothes and had cold eyes. Even though they were the center of attention, they treated the onlookers as if they were totally invisible.
That was an expert team!
”Is that the Kingdom of Glory that is in the limelight now?”
”I have a friend who is a potioneer in this guild. The pay is $7,500 a month, and the commission will be counted separately.”
”Those who have wealth speak louder words!”
The current Kingdom of Glory was different from the one in Lin Jie's previous life.
In his previous life, the Kingdom of Glory, Dark-Robed Knights and Mage Heavens had risen into power together, splitting nearly half of the Light Alliance forces. The other guild leaders who had been caught unprepared, united with difficulties and only then were they not swallowed up.
At that time, there had been countless of Kingdom of Glory branch guilds, but the number of people in the main guild had not changed. That had lasted for a whole six years.
Currently, the Kingdom of Glory was rapidly absorbing members, becoming no different from an ordinary guild.
”Did the person in charge change the plan?” Lin Jie tapped his chin and looked at the people from the Kingdom of Glory walking nearer from afar. The Eighteen Massacres was not among them, but the team's lineup was still shocking and strong.
Dual Swordsman ”Cigarette Butt,” Orpha ”Shallow Smile”… In a few years, those names would become a legend in The New Age.
Cigarette Butt had the same job as Lin Jie, Warrior. However, what's different was that he got a very good talent skill through randomization. He would have the 'flurry' augment when equipping two one-handed weapons. As both weapons' attributes could be stacked, the attack damage was much higher than an average person's.
He was about 30 years old, and his face was very clean with sharp edges. He emitted a masculine charm with his every action or gesture. That was a man that could make any woman go crazy. If it weren't for a certain event, he would most probably still be the prince charming of many people's dreams.
Cigarette Butt noticed Lin Jie's line of sight, his eyes were emotionless as if impervious to desires and passions. However, with just this look, his first impression towards Lin Jie's equipment had already been formed. His armor was very exceptional!
Before Heritage equipment appeared in front of the public eyes, no one could discover Broken Blade's extraordinary nature.
Cigarette Butt casually walked towards Lin Jie and smiled. ”How about joining the Kingdom of Glory?”
Everyone was shocked.
The guild that many people were trying hard to worm their way into was just within reach for other people.
”Not interested.” Lin Jie shrugged his shoulders.
