Chapter 86: Silver Character Card
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
What Lin Jie said could be described as a blatant slap in the face! Extremely daring!
Because in any case, Caesar the Great was also the leader of a city. This was a symbol of authority, he was the spiritual leader of the country. No matter how sordid the City Leader was, the people still acquiesced and even agreed with his existence.
When the long spear was at Lin Jie’s throat, no one would have doubted that if the sharp spearhead pierced forward by another half a centimeter, he would immediately become a corpse.
“Don’t be agitated, great warriors.” Lin Jie smiled as he took out the Divination Scryer (Counterfeit), his fingers gently stroking its surface. The water vapor that was like a fog filled the surroundings as though one was in a fairyland.
The scene of the Half Catwoman slave licking the City Leader’s earlobe appeared...
Not only that but what also appeared was the Commerce Supervisor gulping the water element’s freshwater down with intolerable thirst, laughing heartily as he patted Lin Jie’s shoulders.
White-Clothed Godfather’s face was full of justice, but he secretly held a luxurious ancient watch in his hand...
Everyone was astonished!
White-Clothed Godfather instantly raged, chopping the scene and causing it to disperse. Then, he shouted loudly, “Catch this civilian and throw him in jail!”
“Yes!” The guards came forward and grabbed Lin Jie.
That’s right, Lin Jie bought all those expensive items only for one purpose: To threaten these officials. The Holy Church and the Empire were jointly in charge of the Guild of Light. The internal conflicts were quite intense, and the Empire was fully in charge of this auction, which just nicely gave Lin Jie a loophole to exploit.
‘You have received my gift, you must give me some compensation or else this Divination Scryer (Counterfeit) will be handed into the hands of the Holy Church. By then, you will lose all your official positions!’
Unfortunately, all officials were the same, which official did not have a few tricks up their sleeves? Try imagining that you have grasped a large amount of evidence of a so-so official. You triumphantly swagger before him to show it to him, what would the results be? At best, stay in jail for a few months. At worse, you go out, accidentally step on a banana skin and get into a car accident.
Without a strong background, one had no qualifications to speak!
“Scram!” roared Lin Jie, and the guards entered Stun due to Outraged Roar.
When the guards regained consciousness and decided to capture Lin Jie, he revealed his Viscount title.
Possessing a title represented having speaking rights! In the strict hierarchy of the City of Light, the difference between a Viscount and a commoner was equal to humans and beasts.
City Leader opened his eyes weakly and said suddenly, “Say, what do you want?”

———
“You’re back?” said Dominance smilingly. Lin Jie wore his coat and went back to his seat, silently leaning onto it.
The auction had already started, but due to the City Leader’s absence, they had to follow the mediocre rules – the best properties would be still treated as the final items.
“The main show is about to start.” Baili Changcheng pointed at the auction stage.
The auctioneer had already changed, it was no longer the violent bunny girl but a woman with a hot body, wearing a fox costume. With every twinkle and smile, she enlivened the atmosphere with ease.
“The next auction item is from Angel Descent guild leader, Heaven Plume!” The woman’s voice was gentle and lovely as she bowed slightly towards Heaven Plume’s direction. “We would like to thank Heaven Plume guild leader’s support. Let us see this item!”
[Silver Character Card: Tragic Sisters]
Character Level: 20
Stats: Magic Attack 0-150
Health Points: 8,500
Everyone was shocked.
It was actually a Silver Character Card!
Lin Jie frowned. Heaven Plume was the guild leader of Angel Descent, the best guild in Prague City, so it was not unusual for him to have a Silver Character Card. The Character Card Tragic Sisters hid a total of three missions, but the triggering condition was very weird, so the number of people who knew it was little.
However, even if one did not know how to trigger the missions, it was still a Silver-Grade Character Card!
Looking at Lin Jie’s expression, Dominance grinned. “Heaven Plume, this old guy really paid a huge price, there’s 80% chance this girl is going to be obtained by him.”
“Obtained?” Lin Jie was stunned.
“That auctioneer is a player working in Imperial City Hotel. Since this auction is held for the first time, the officials paid special attention to it, so they transferred her here temporarily, making it seem more humane,” Dominance explained, “As long as the transaction price of the item you provide is ranked first, you can take her away, having the ownership of her for three days.”
“This works?” asked Lin Jie in astonishment. This was too crazy!
Baili Changcheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. “For these online goddesses, they would not mind using any means as long as they could get enough exposure. The higher the exposure, the higher the income. It’s all forced by life.”
“20,000!” Some players had already started to bid.
“40,000!”
“120,000!”
The price soared as a Silver Character Card was just too rare. Ever since The New Age was launched, perhaps only ten plus cards had been spawned. They contained a huge amount of missions and skills. It was even possible to make the NPC within the card to become one’s follower.
Of course, the most precious Character Card was the Legendary Card in which the Ancient Hero, the son of the Demigod, was sealed...
“Do I buy it or not?” Zheng Ziliang sent a message.
“You can buy it if it is under 300,000,” replied Lin Jie.
“Tragic Sisters” mission’s triggering condition was for an Ascetic Priest and a Shadow Priest to form a team, and they must both be female.
This condition, perhaps even if Heaven Plume was beaten to death, he would also not be able to think of it.
When the price slowly increased to 170,000, the rising momentum slowly stopped.
Zheng Ziliang raised his card, “300,000.”
“Woah, a squanderer!”
“An item that could be bought with at most 200,000, but he just had to spend an extra 100,000, stupid!”
“He’s just flaunting his wealth to the girls beside him to see. Aish, it’s a pity for that pretty girl that is going to lose her virginity...”
In Lin Jie’s previous life, this Character Card had bid a high price of 280,000 in the auction. The person that had bought this card was a Priest from the Kingdom of Glory, so the 300,000 spent was worth it.
Heaven Plume flicked his fingers, glancing at Zheng Ziliang with the corner of his eye. He raised his chin, and his underling instantly understood and disappeared with Stealth Move.
“Congratulations to this friend who has bid for the [Silver Character Card: Tragic Sisters] with a price of 300,000!” The fox girl knocked down the auction hammer in her hand and continued saying, “The next auction item I believe will give everyone a surprise! It is—from Brotherhood organization, Codename: Dark Night’s—[Dalsace’s Unlimited Mana Scroll]!”
Lin Jie frowned. ‘Brotherhood?’
Who would want to make an issue using Brotherhood’s name?
Dalsace’s Unlimited Mana Scroll: Increase mana recovery speed by 800% within 24 hours, effective on a maximum of 200 people.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLin Jie’s eyes flashed. ‘So that’s it!’
The lowest spawning place for the Unlimited Mana Scroll was the level 50 Lake of Tyrannical Magic. If one wanted to get this scroll, they had to enter deep within the central region. Who obtained it?
When this scroll appeared, the few guild leaders stood up immediately!
Unlimited Mana Scroll! 24 hours 800% mana recovery speed. What did that represent? For a Priest, that meant unlimited healing quantity, while for a Mage, it meant unlimited output! With both together, a 200 people team could absolutely challenge any Boss!
Killing Bosses for 24 hours consecutively, what obtained was not only gains in experience but also countless coins, equipment, items and so on.
It could be said that this scroll alone, was enough to let a guild’s team take the lead at the starting line!
All the guild leaders’ eyes lit up, and Heaven Plume even threw his head back and roared with laughter. He held his fists and saluted, “All thanks to Brotherhood friend for selling this scroll. If I, Heaven Plume, could successfully obtain it, I would definitely promise you great rewards.”
Lin Jie’s heart turned cold. ‘It’s over!’
This scroll’s effect was indeed very good, but it had a precondition for release – the players’ average level had to be level 50!
Yes, that was not indicated on that darn scroll!
When those guild leaders tried their utmost best to obtain the scroll, only to find out that it could not actually be used in the end, their hatred would definitely be transferred onto Brotherhood!
Heaven Plume stood up, his deep and low voice could be heard, “I bid 500,000, just to start the ball rolling.”
“Hahaha, Heaven Plume’s guild leader is still so miserable,” a young man laughed, “1,000,000!”
This young man was the guild leader of Hell Guild. He and Heaven Plume had an uncle and nephew relationship. They were competing with each other, so their relationship was very poor.
“1,200,000,” said Heaven Plume calmly.
“1,400,000!”
...
Seeing the price soar up, Lin Jie’s heart became more and more worried.
Just at this moment, the space spiraled restlessly, and Albert Caesar walked into the auction hall with a gloomy face. He stood on the stage and shouted, “Now, we will start auctioning properties.”
The fox girl was anxious and begged, “Lord City Leader, the auction is almost going to finish, could you please just wait for one more minute.”
“Scram!” The City Leader was now on a mad impulse. After being scammed by the human of alternate realms, he deemed all alternate realms’ humans as annoying. He kicked the fox girl down the stage and immediately canceled the ongoing auction. He knocked down the auction hammer, and a bang could be heard.
“The property auction begins!”
“The first property: the Auction House in the center of the City of Light!”
“Bidding begins!”
