Chapter 290: The Naga Shrine

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A chance of going out to the sea!

An invincible team!

These two offers were very attractive to them, like a hungry wolf seeing a rabbit, made them unable to refuse. This group of thousands of players, who were drifting away from the edge of the sea and fought hard for their dream, joined Brotherhood and became a member of the Sea Team.

Of all these players, 90% would be disqualified! Currently, in the Sea Team, there must be players with evil intentions or ones that wanted to get benefits without putting in any effort. Naturally, Lin Jie didn’t want such players!

After bidding goodbye to Pleater, Lin Jie left the harbor.

The harbor, which was dead and silent in the past, suddenly became lively. What’s the point of farming the NPCs’ favorability for months when the words from Brotherhood’s leader were more useful in helping them to go out to the sea? All the players lined up orderly, rubbed their fists and wiped their palms, waiting for their turn to complete their training with a good result, and compete for the final qualification to join the 1-month voyage.

Lin Jie checked about the coastal defense of City of Light in the forum. As expected, the set defense was doubled by NPC Cade. Naga Gion had been caught off guard, but when he had left, he had been prepared. Also, as a creature that lived under the sea, it was not hard for him to avoid coastal defense as he was more flexible in water than humans. Checking at the new defense, there was no information about fighting at the junction of the seas. It was clear that Naga Gion had safely transported the potions.

There was a reason for him to save the Nagas! In his current life, he would eventually step foot in the sea, and by that time, his friendship with the Nagas would be of great use. Also, that wide-ranging activity about Living jobs should be coming up soon!

The seeds planted would eventually bear fruit. Not to mention the divine equipment, Naga’s Trident, Lin Jie had to save Gion due to the Epic Skill, the Enchanted Scaly Armor.

The strength of Brotherhood had improved. This organization was intended to embrace all kinds of players, as long as they could generate benefits for Brotherhood! On the top ranking, there was Savage Blade; on the bottom, there was nobody. And as the level of missions and mercenaries increased, some powerful players would gradually emerge. Lin Jie would then try to draw them into Savage Blade. However, some of them would choose to proceed alone, only a few players would be taken in by other guilds.

In the gradual development of the organization, Lin Jie’s mentality had slowly changed. He had started to build his own group, and Brotherhood was the best smelting furnace! What organization could be so inclusive that it brought in so many experts? Making the impurities disappear and letting the gold shine was the essence of bringing in experts. Experts like the famous film emperor “Not Drunk” in Lin Jie’s previous life, “Little M”, and others were all in Savage Blade.

Unlike the pure trading organization in his previous life, the Brotherhood of this life had undergone many subtle changes.

Ding~

The mission notice suddenly rang.

—”Thank you for saving Naga Gion. The Nagas have recognized you as a friend. Welcome to the Naga Shrine.”

—”The favorability of Naga Shrine towards you has increased to ‘Friendly’.”

Lin Jie’s eyes opened widely as this was a real windfall! The Naga Shrine was located in the inner part of the Poseidon Shrine, which was where the Son of Sea lived. It could command all Nagas in The New Age. Hence, by increasing the favorability of the Naga Shrine, Lin Jie increased the favorability of all Nagas toward him. Nagas would not use active attacks on Lin Jie, and he could even trigger many Naga missions that many other ordinary players could not.

This trip was really worth it!

Lin Jie could not help but laugh. If he could farm the favorability of the Naga Shrine to Admiration, his travel through the sea would be smooth. He did not even need a ship as with a wave of his hand, the Nagas would obey his orders. They would be the best ‘ship’ for him, with a moving speed that was comparable to that of a Flying-Wing Cargo Ship.

“Unfortunately, god knows when I can increase the favorability further.” Lin Jie shook his head as it was the hardest to increase the favorability of this kind of race leaders. In his previous life, there had been one player who had been farming the Naga Shrine’s favorability insanely for 3 years, but he had only managed to increase the favorability from ‘Neutral’ to ‘Friendly’. Hence, it showed how great Lin Jie’s mission reward was.

However, in order to get the reward, he had to meet the level requirement! The Naga Shrine sold a variety of rare potions, equipment, and even the materials to strengthen Naga’s Trident. But the required level for entry was at least 100...

Lin Jie had already targeted the town of war’s front line, Town of Midolhaar. After dealing with the Nagas’ problem, he had to level up now. The EXP given from Undead monsters would be 50% higher than killing normal monsters, and their attributes were much stronger, coupled with strange Dark Magic. And Midolhaar was where the Undead were concentrated. The various types of Dark Magic made it hard for players to guard against.

Midolhaar was the battleground for a few Guild of Light members to confront the Dark Shrine! There were countless Believer players and Undead leaders from the Dark Shrine! With the drop-rate increased by several times, one could have a great time if they were capable enough.

Before heading to Midolhaar, Lin Jie went to the Holy Church for prayers. He would receive blessings from prayers, and this would help in improving his attributes. Although the improvement was not very great, it had an obvious counteracting effect on Undead creatures.

Other than that, his reward for bombing the Tower of Plague had yet to be claimed!

There were streams of players busily coming and going in the Holy Church every day. After Lin Jie had obtained the Black Dragon Head, the number of players in City of Light had been growing swiftly as nobody could resist a 10% increase of all attributes. And there were countless players praying in the Holy Church to get Blessings.

Lin Jie took a few steps forward, and two Paladins immediately blocked him, raised their eyebrows, and shouted, “Human, you can’t get into the Holy Church!”

Lin Jie did not give a damn about them. “I bombed the Tower of Plague and saved people’s livelihood. And now I’m here for my reward. You two, get out of my way!”

“What? The Tower of Plague?” The Paladin’s eyes flashed, and with a softened attitude, he said, “We’ll not stop you since you’re here for your reward, but the Holy Church has rules. A donation must be made upon receiving any high valued reward...”

“Donate 1/10 of the reward, right?” Lin Jie scoffed. “I’m afraid that the donation will fall into your pockets, won’t it? Get lost!”

The Paladin was shocked and turned away with a cold sneer.

It was hard to bypass the King of Hell, and the little ghosts were hard to get around. Indeed, Lin Jie could claim his reward, but he had to give these Paladins a ‘donation’, or else they would not let him into the Holy Church. Although the higher-ups of the Holy Church were really fighting against the Dark wholeheartedly, when the forest was big, there would be all kinds of birds. There were still many corrupt people under their jurisdiction.

The gate opened!

Lin Jie stepped in and met his old friend—Yatasha. This Light Priest Hero had grown at an appalling rate. Remember when Lin Jie had first met her, she had only been a low-grade Priest, and now, she had undergone thrice of leveling up of her job to become a Bishop.

The NPCs and players were the same, at level 40, they must undergo a leveling up of their jobs. Each job offered several paths to choose from, and it could greatly enhance the corresponding attributes, and achieve the master in weapons proficiency.

At level 80, the second round of level up of one’s job would be carried out. One’s job grade would rise and start to master the battle skills formally. For example, Reggie, Warrior Mentor, was a second-turned Warrior. His [Storm Swordsmanship] was extremely powerful. Starting from the second round of level up of one’s job, the players’ battle could then be called a real battle. With a variety of continuous skills, combination skills, one could be very powerful!

At level 120, the players would have the chance for the third round of level up of their jobs. However, during that round, the leveling up process would not be 100% successful as there was a high chance of failure. After the success of the leveling up, one would get a superior-grade title and become a ‘Legendary Candidate’, with the opportunity to level up to Legendary.

At this time, Yatasha, the Light Priest Hero, was the third-turned Bishop! Her position was comparable to a leader of the Holy Church, and she possessed the qualification of level up to Legendary. However, leveling up to Legendary was not that easy. It required a lot of accumulations of experiences and excellent luck.

When Yatasha saw Lin Jie, a different light flashed across her eyes, just like a little girl seeing her boy table-mate. But this look faded quickly, and Lin Jie could not detect it at all.

“Human, are you here for the reward of the Tower of Plague?” Yatasha’s voice was no longer childish. It sounded with the “Virgin Mary’s” glory, which was similar to that in his previous life, giving people a warm feeling.

Lin Jie nodded. “Yes... Yatasha, can you speak to me without that tone? I’m not used to it.”

Yatasha smiled and shook her head. “The Holy Light brings peace, tranquility, and comfort. I used to be too influenced by myself, and I seemed too abrupt. Well, I’ll give you the mission reward.”

Ding~

—”You have bombed a Tower of Plague. You have received 1,300,000 EXP and 5 gold coins.”

Swoosh!

Gold light showered on Lin Jie.

—’You have leveled up to level 31. You have received 5 Free Stat Points and 2 Fixed Stat Points!’

Lin Jie’s experience points jumped to 27% of level 31 before it could stop. Destroying the Tower of Plague was tantamount to destroying a stronghold of the Dark. Naturally, the reward was huge!

“There’s an additional reward. What do you want? Gold coins? Equipment? Skills?” The Exchange Page appeared in front of Yatasha. “We’re friends, and I’ll help you as much as I can.”

Lin Jie was stunned. Only then did he feel that the girl was the real Yatasha! Any practitioner of the Holy Light would thoroughly transform into the body of the Holy Light after a certain degree of practice, which was also known as facial paralysis. Men would always have a straight face, while women would always be smiling as if there were no other emotions.

“I need Blessings.” Lin Jie said, “Preferably one that can cause the Undead creatures additional damage.”

Bombing the Tower of Plague could give you random Blessings from an NPC, which had a higher ranking than a white-clothed member of the Holy Church. And Yatasha was obviously the best candidate.

“Oh? Are you going to slaughter the Undead?”

“That’s right, I’m heading to Midolhaar.”

Yatasha nodded, opened her hands, and her white robe was blown, even though it was windless. Streaks of light surrounded Lin Jie’s hands and condensed into a ring.

“Here’s my Blessings for you. Good luck.” Yatasha opened her mouth and seemed to want to say something. A moment later, she said, “Human, I have been practicing under the Holy Light for a long time, and I have met some problems, which will become obstacles on my way to achieve Legendary. I hope you can help me after you come back.”

Lin Jie was stunned. ‘ The Hero NPC released a mission on her initiative?’

“Sure!” Lin Jie said solemnly.

“Well, good luck.” Yatasha smiled, adding to her great beauty.
