Chapter 550 - Best Of The Best - Qualifying Round (1/2)

At the City of Light, City Leader’s Mansion.

Lin Jie rested on the bed of the mansion. It was a City Leader’s benefit. After resting for 2 hours on the bed, he would get a 150% EXP boost for the next 1.5 hours. It did not mean much to Lin Jie since he was always traveling around, but something was better than nothing.

‘It’s so peaceful these days. Knight’s Glory, Vampire City, Xuanyuan Alliance, and the Kingdom of Glory. None of them is giving me any trouble. Especially this Eighteen Massacres, I haven’t seen him for quite a while, who knows what he’s planning again.

‘The organization is growing steadily, the Supreme Tribe is absorbing many elites, and it is comparable to the Steel Allies. But they are not as bonded, and if they were to have war, they would be at the losing end. Brotherhood and Supreme Tribe were closely interacting through the auction house.

‘After the last incident, there were 14 PK made to the Savage Blade. None of the members lost the fight. This means that the team is getting in good shape. The threat from outside is relatively low.

‘The three-person team led by I’m No. 1 was reported to be slacking in Second Savage Blade. As for Qiu Yuan, I have not heard about her for days now…’

Lin Jie felt a headache thinking about that.

He had too many things to take care of. Who would have thought that the guy who had created such an uproar in The New Age was merely a young undergraduate? He was burdened by too much stuff. Although he had been given a second chance in the game, his past was a nightmare, which was always hunting him.

“I should take a break…” Lin Jie found that it was hard for him to ponder over all the questions, so he took off his gaming helmet and went offline. He had been spending too much time on the game.

It was the familiar bedroom again. Lin Jie took out the box of nutrient serum under his bed, and someone grabbed his hand. Lin Jie tried to dodge and clenched the other fist. It was his typical defense move in the game.

“What!?” It was Zheng Ziliang. He was staring at Lin Jie.

“Nope, nothing.” Lin Jie quickly lowered his hands.

Zheng Ziliang took the serum over and put it back into the box. “Go get some sleep. Your body cannot take it forever.”

“Not a big deal.” Lin Jie tried to ignore Zheng Ziliang, but his eyes were looking at him with determination. Lin Jie gave in and said, “Could you wake me up in five hours?”

“Sure. Jie, this serum can only give you energy, but it cannot replace sleep. It would be terrible if you became addicted to it. I know you are a more hardcore player than me, but you, at least, need to sleep for 3 hours.” Zheng Ziliang sat down casually. “We have our finals in a couple of days. At least, go to the class and let the teacher know your face, okay?”

Lin Jie was already half asleep. “Who is the teacher?”

“Female one, 28, married without a kid. She still got it,” replied Zheng Ziliang.

“Okay, I’ll go,” said Lin Jie and fell asleep.

‘What a heartless guy…’ Zheng Ziliang lamented and went out. He was going to visit the subject teacher.

Although he did not care about his grade in school, Zheng Ziliang had to give the teacher a visit so that they did not fail the test so badly.

Lin Jie slept for 18 hours! When he woke up, it was already night time. He quickly drank a bottle of serum, ate the food beside his microwave, and went online.

“Wake up already Jie? Told ya, you cannot take it.” Zheng Ziliang messaged him.

“I’ve lost 13 hours,” complained Lin Jie.

“C’mon, I did it for you. How’s the food I prepared for you?”

“Huh?” Lin Jie stared.

“Don’t tell me you just ate without tasting it at all?”

“Oops!”

“…” Zheng Ziliang was rendered speechless. “Best Of The Best starting in 1 day, are you in?”

“Of course!” Lin Jie packed his stuff and left the City Leader’s Mansion. He regretted not tasting the food.

What a waste!

What Lin Jie forgot was that he had enough money to eat whatever he wanted.
