With a swing of the Broken Blade, the flaming edge of the sword let out a sharp slashing sound.

Hunter’s Forward Charge!

It was the first time Broken Blade had shown such a sharp cutting edge, the flare willfully rushed towards the few Flame Druids!

The armor of Elemental Sword Artist was in a sorry state after being bitten by the Druids in cheetah form. If he were to be continuously attacked, perhaps the upper limit of his equipment’s durability would also decrease.

Bang!

A cheetah stopped as fire burst out from its belly, and scorching hot fresh blood splurged from the wound.

“Let’s go!” Lin Jie shouted loudly. His Broken Blade winded around his body and was slashed down in the same direction. The Broken Blade with Flame Boost had completely become a super heavy weapon.

Any monsters that were burnt by Flame Boost would receive additional damage. When talking about attack range, it could even exceed the AOE magic spells of Mages.

Elemental Sword Artist firmly nodded his head. “You be careful!”

Broken Blade was held horizontally. Originally, this Broken Blade that was only an arm’s length, but currently, it was already two meters long, as though a long spear. All the Flame Druids were stopped by Lin Jie. They raised their sharp claws one after another to attack.

“Weakness Exploit!”

Lin Jie attacked vigorously, piercing heavily through the throats of the Druids that attacked crazily, the sizzling sounds of evaporation could be heard.

-265!

—’Weakness Exploit successfully cast, position deviation 0%, deal full amount of damage! Received 2 proficiency points.’

At the same time, his Withered Leaf Sword was like a venomous snake, firmly piercing through the area that was cut open, dealing over 100 points of damage, also causing man-made bleeding effect! Strictly speaking, any attack could trigger abnormal status, but this needed very high skills and luck.

-75!

-75!

Broken Blade had gotten its blade, so its power had been increased by far more than just a few times. With dual-sword consecutive slashes, the Druid’s Health bar actually decreased to the bottom, and it was about to die! At this moment, Lin Jie’s health bar had also decreased by as much as half.

Blood Soul Multi-Slash!

The Broken Blade’s blood reservoir was suddenly filled violently, and Lin Jie was shocked. ‘What happened?’ A vigorous strength burst out from his arm and accurately pierced through the Druid’s skull.

-400!

-400!

Lin Jie was shocked. ‘What’s with this damage?’

The Druid fell with the sound, and Blood Soul Multi-Slash was reset! Lin Jie blinked and activated the skill again.

However, this time the blood reservoir did not move at all. Two over 80 numerical values ??popped out. The biggest effect of Blood Soul Multi-Slash was that after it killed the target, it provided skill reset and health recovery. If not used as a final blow, the power of that skill was minimal.

Blood Soul Multi-Slash entered a 10 minutes cooldown.

“WTF…” As his attempt to show off failed, Lin Jie turned around and ran.

Elemental Sword Artist waited for quite a few minutes after hiding behind the big tree, but Lin Jie still had not come. He stiffly stretched his head out, and then hurriedly pulled his head back. Lin Jie was rushing towards him while bringing 11 Flame Druids.

“Hey, come and help me, slow them down, slow them down!”

“F*ck, I thought you killed them all!”

Elemental Sword Artist hurriedly drank the magic potion and leaped out from behind the tree. He waved his longsword, Ice Path!

Lin Jie sprang up and dodged the Druids who were chasing after him relentlessly, successfully escaping.

The gain this time was so huge!

Sure enough, what the treasure map depicted were the materials needed for the blade to be unsealed. A Flame Blade alone was perhaps worth Lin Jie’s whole assets just in exchange for the material.

‘In this case, if all the blades were collected…’ Lin Jie’s eyes sparkled.

Elemental Sword Artist patted his chest armor, and banging sounds could be heard. “F*ck it, this monster is too fierce. Forget it, I’m not going to do this troublesome mission anymore. I have to get back and have a few glasses of wine to get over the shock of what happened today.”

Lin Jie grinned. “You didn’t realize that there’s something a bit wrong about the numbers?”

Elemental Sword Artist was in doubts, but after quite a while, he widened his eyes. “They seem to be missing one, you killed it?”

“Yes, that is to say, we just need to repeat this at most 11 times, then we can open the treasure chest.”

“F*ck, how about we just go back and get a drink?”

“Recover your state and let’s go!”

Lin Jie’s temper was very frank and straightforward. If one help him, he would naturally repay them. Even if one didn’t want to accept, they would still have to accept it. Thus, Element Swordsman complained to high heaven as he sat up and prepared for cooperation again.

——

“The bitches of the Town of Samoga were collectively obscene? You have the face to ask me to broadcast such news?”

“The famous beauty player Qing Yan has an affair with so-so guild leader… F*ck, does bro look like someone who will broadcast this type of news?”

“The guild of beauties, Purple Fireworks was created, someone had gotten a bunch of contact numbers? Vulgar! Vulgar! Give me the contact numbers…”

Junior Mo picked his teeth as he read the news brought by his underlings with his legs crossed.

For a reporter, what was the most important thing? Fame! Since the Job-Changing incident that was exclusively reported by Junior Me, he had been given a title—”Beta Tester Broadcaster.” What did those three words stand for? It meant that his posts had a high degree of credibility.

Therefore, many journalists voluntarily became his underlings. Only by following a boss that could have new information whenever and wherever could they have a good future. If he occasionally let slip his tongue on a piece of news, it would be a big fortune!

“Someone requested me to post a message on helping to collect the blood of a Boss? WTF…” Junior Mo laughed. “Tell that bast*rd to collect pig blood, ask him if he wants it or not… Cough, cough. Big Brother Seven Ears, it’s you, it has been a long time.”

Seven Ears rolled his eyes. “It has only been one day, and you have become so highly conceited? I think I have to find other partners already.”

Junior Mo hurriedly sat up straight in the right posture and said seriously, “Big Brother, you have something to say?”

“At the end of your news, post a message about purchasing Boss blood, just directly go to Sky Provisions Shop to pawn it.” When Seven Ears finished, he hung up the call.

Junior Mo immediately started working.

——

At the Sky Provisions Shop…

In the period where Lin Jie left, Seven Ears had widely spread the news of Augmenting Gem through Junior Mo. In addition to the increasing numbers of players reaching level 10, the Augmenting Gem that was a rare item was finally forced to become popular.

The price of Augmenting Gems was driven up quite high. At its highest, it was even auctioned off at a high price of 29 silver coins! This was not bronze coins, but actual solid silver coins!

A normal player would have around 8 silver coins of assets when they reached level 10.

Without Augmenting Gems, one would be unable to enhance their equipment, and thus, unable to pass the Job-Changing Mission trial.

In the players’ cursing and scolding, profiteers made a fortune.

What was worth mentioning was that in the previous guild base battle, many major guilds’ overall strength had decreased, so it was instead, those lone wolves who had kept their noses clean that reached level 10 earlier.

When all the Augmenting Gems on the market were nearly all sold, Sky Provisions Shop, this manipulator behind the scene, finally took action! It was different from the time with the low-level Poison-Antidote Potion, as the price Seven Ears gave was 15 silver coins!

Yes, 15 silver coins!

Facing prices of Augmenting Gem that was easily over 20 silver coins, 15 silver coins was simply impossible! This piece of news instantly attracted the profiteers and headhunters there, hoping to acquire a large amount of Augmenting Gems.

The reply Seven Ears gave them was, “Guild purchases, 25 silver coins per Augmenting Gem.”

“Sky Provisions Shop did purchase quite a lot of Augmenting Gems. I can even say that when the Augmenting Gems’ prices were driven up to around 15 silver coins, we purchased them all,” Seven Ears said, “Why? Sell them at 30 silver coins, 40 silver coins?”

“No, you just need 15 silver coins! Also, this is not the price of one Augmenting Gem, but the price of 3 Augmenting Gems!”

“No need to sign any contract, no need for voluntary labor. I only hope that everyone could patronize the business of Sky Provisions Shop. Shoestring business is not simple. Being able to do something for everyone, just treat it as me, the shopkeeper did everyone a small favor.”

At the Sky Provisions Shop…

“Here, for you. Come and patronize our business more.” Seven Ears smiled as he took the 15 silver coins. He handed over the 3 Augmenting Gems to the brawny Mage. This Mage was fierce-looking, similar to the gangsters that manned their territories.

“Thank you, Big Brother Seven Ears, your shop, I’ll look after it! Anytime, call me, East Gate The Third if anything happens!”

The next person was a Bandit like a skinny monkey and was thievish-looking. He handed over 15 silver coins. “Thank you Big Brother Seven Ears.”

Seven Ears coughed. “Heaven and Earth Society’s vice guild leader, do you know no shame?”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Tens of murderous stares shot towards him!

These were all lone wolves, amongst them there was no lack of people who were treated as ants and stepped by guilds.

Currently, Sky Provisions Shop wholeheartedly provided service for lone wolves, so how they actually allow people from guilds to cause trouble?

The Bandit kept his silver coins in dejection and ran away.

“Seven Ears… Big brother.” A player wearing new players’ Bandit Set dug his pocket and said awkwardly, “I only have 13 silver coins, can I write an IOU 1 for you?”

Seven Ears took a look at his name and his pupils constricted.

Star Kill!

‘This was the person Boss Fu Sheng mentioned before.’

“Sorry, you can’t. However, if you could pass the Expert-Level Job-Changing Mission only using beginner set, then your Augmenting Gems by then are all on me! How’s that?” Seven Ears shook his head.

——

“The last three.”

“Get him!”

Elemental Sword Artist gritted his teeth, all of his equipment was already broken, and only his longsword was still emitting cold air.

Ice Path!

The muddy path and scorched withered grass were as though being channeled, they froze into icicles, and the three Flame Druids were yelling crazily.

“You go and open the treasure chest!”

Hunter’s Forward Charge!

Lin Jie morphed into a dark shadow, his left hand gently caressing his Broken Blade.

Flames burst through the air and pierced the three Druids in shapes of gorgeous fire jades. Then, he stuffed his dual swords behind his back and Shield of Courage’s attributes changed, becoming a heavy two-handed shield, as tall as one and a half person! Druids’ sharp claws attacked the surface of the shield, causing small numbers of damage to pop up.

Elemental Sword Artist was beside the Dark Gold treasure chest, and he took a deep breath.

‘Chest opening: …’

-17!

-14!

-16!

…

Lin Jie gritted his teeth and drank a bottle of Health Potion and Fire Resistance Potion.

Since the Flame Blade was taken away, the Prophet Druid of the Blazing Flame was on the ground, unable to move. However, every Elite Druid would be converted into flames and infused into the Boss when it died. If all of them were to be infused, it would turn into an Enhanced Boss!

Therefore, they could only tank the last few Druids head on!

“Hurry!” Lin Jie gritted his teeth, using Shield Strike to interrupt the Druids’ attack action.

“It’s open!” Elemental Sword Artist shouted in surprise. He ransacked all the items and quickly retreated. Looking at Lin Jie’s Health Bar that was almost empty, he was shocked. He straightaway pushed him aside, but tens of holes appeared on his back.

“F*ck, your equipment has lost its durability already, don’t you know that?”

“F*ck, I forgot about it!”

The Druids attacked violently!

The two of them hurriedly ran down of the Fire Mountain peak. They had gotten the items, so they quickly left this dangerous place!

During escaping, Elemental Sword Artist laughed heartily. “We’ll split the loot when we find an inn!”

“Alright!” Lin Jie laughed.

“That’s right, what is your name?”

“Fu Sheng, and yours?”

“Baili Changcheng, come, let’s add each other as friends.”

“…”
