Reborn: Super God of War

Chapter 405: Grand Guild Alliance?

[Middle-Grade Invisibility Potion Recipe]: Materials required: Star Soul Grass*5, Violet Algae*5, Gold Crystal Leaf*3.

The Middle-Grade Invisibility potion was a necessity for a solo player. It gave players who were not Bandits the ability to go into stealth mode. Of course, when Bandits were in stealth mode, their Movement Speed remained at 100%. As for those who used the invisibility potion, their Movement Speed would only be at 60%. On top of that, they would be discovered more easily.

Even so, the value of a Middle-Grade Invisibility Potion was very high. The recipe for it was even more priceless. If they were to sell this recipe, they would get at least 500 gold coins! That’s right, 500 gold coins! 50,000$ in real life!

Lin Jie clapped and learned the recipe. Making Middle-Grade Invisibility Potions would also be great for leveling up Perfect Potion Mastery. There should be quite a number of materials available in the provisions shop for him to make a batch of potions. After they distributed all the loot, they spent 1 gold coin to maintain the progress of the dungeon before leaving it.

Money was required to keep the progress of a dungeon, fully revealing the system’s greed for cash.

The third Boss was Holy Light Temple’s great ruler. He was cruel and powerful, and they did not have any tactics to handle him, unlike with the Shadow Queen. As such, Lin Jie could only temporarily leave the dungeon and take a break. Only when they had made full preparations would they continue the battle.

However, the public opinion was raging as usual in the game. Brotherhood had defeated the first and second Boss and displayed their immense strength, leaving everybody in awe. Normal players either admired them or were jealous of them. There was another group of people working secretly to get their hands on videos and information on Brotherhood’s Boss clear. What was the most important thing for a team to clear a dungeon? Information!

It was not an exaggeration to say that Lin Jie’s information on clearing the two Bosses could be sold for millions of dollars. In fact, even if one had the money, they might not be able to get their hands on those pieces of information. Countless guilds would be fighting over it. However, Lin Jie did not have the ability to start a video recording. In the entire team, there was only one person capable of recording the entire fight, and that was his good buddy Zheng Ziliang. He was a Contract Summoner who fought mainly with his Mechanical Gargoyle. As such, it would be easier for him to record the fight and even take a few special angle shots.

It was simply impossible to get the videos from Zheng Ziliang.

When Lin Jie returned to the provisions shop, he received a notification from his friend chat.

It was Dumb Fox, the leader of Triumphant Midnight. He was also one of the leaders of Steel Allies now.

“Congratulations, my buddy, Lone Wolf! You’ve once again obtained first clear. Seems like the first clear for the Holy Light Temple is already in the bag for Brotherhood.” Dumb Fox laughed. He tried to close the distance between him and Lone Wolf by calling him “buddy”. Steel Allies and Brotherhood were cooperating now and could even be called allies. However, everyone was capable and well aware of the possible schemes.

Lin Jie smirked. “You didn’t call just to congratulate me, right?”

“Of course. But first, I have to thank my buddy Lone Wolf for your information, which allowed us to successfully kill a dragon. Otherwise, I’m afraid we would have been defeated by the dragon’s ability to reborn and wasted our efforts.” Dumb Fox’s tone turned serious as he continued, “Although we, Triumphant Midnight, put in a lot of effort, we still owe it to you for our success.”

“Get to the point.”

“Cough, cough, I’ve decided to... give the battle reward to you.”

Lin Jie was shocked. In order to kill the dragon, they had spent 4 Accomplishment Points to exchange for an Ambergris and fought hard with all their manpower. Why would he want to give him the battle reward after all these?

Dumb Fox also realized he was too abrupt. He smiled and said, “Actually, I’ve been thinking of giving it to you since the start. You weren’t around the other time, which is why I’m only finding you now. I wish to give it to you personally.”

Lin Jie kept silent as he began to ponder.

Dumb Fox was not a kind person. In fact, he was cunning and capable. If not, Triumphant Midnight would not have risen to such heights and a place among the top guilds. Why did he take the initiative to offer a gift?

The most plausible reason must be because of the battle goods he had obtained from the Frost Dragon! Those types of powerful monsters rarely dropped equipment. However, the materials on its body could be used in forging. For example, Blood Sub-Shrine’s Blood Tyrant had not dropped any equipment either. Instead, it had left behind its head, which could be used to fortify their equipment, make up for the missing pieces, and enhance them.

The items dropped from a Frost Dragon would be enough to fully fill up the bags of three people! However, those items were difficult to use. They would require a middle-grade or even a high-grade Blacksmith, Forgers, and Enchantment Masters in order to use the material to enhance their own equipment. Although many guilds had people of different Living Jobs, there were none in The New Age who were at the level of forging high-grade materials.

Only the Sky Provisions Shop was able to provide a large number of high-grade Living Job players!

This was also the main reason Lin Jie had spent so much effort into raising Living Job players in the early game. In the late game, the precious materials dropped by monsters would require a person with Living Job to forge it into equipment. By then, the status of players with Living Jobs would rise.

‘Dumb Fox is unable to make use of these materials, so he is making use of them to gain my favor by giving them all to me? After all, only things you can use truly belong to you. Hoarding a bunch of materials is a stupid thing to do. But, even so, he won’t do it just because of this...’

While Lin Jie was still in the midst of his thoughts, Dumb Fox opened his mouth and spoke slowly. “I’ve heard that Twilight Transmigration is going to clear the first Boss soon.”

“What?” Lin Jie was startled. “Twilight Transmigration?”

“Yes, Twilight Transmigration. They are the strongest guild in the City of Twilight, with many expert players. Feng Yun and Chaos In The Sky on the leaderboard are their guild members. They are hell-bent on stirring up the situation now.” Dumb Fox sighed and continued, “Also, from what I heard, the guilds in City of Elves, City of Wanderers, and Sunshine City have all secretly formed an alliance. Their main target is the City of Light! Lone Wolf, my friend, you understand what I’m saying, right?”

Lin Jie’s eyes gleamed. ‘There are many guilds making their moves now?’

‘In my previous life, the war between guilds had only happened in another year, right?’ The guilds that would become much more powerful in the future should still be gathering their strength now. There were even guilds that were staying anonymous to catch their enemies by surprise and rise to the top amidst all the confusion.

Could it be that since the City of Light and Brotherhood were too powerful, or for some other reason, these other guilds were revealing their claws much earlier and targeting him?

If that was the case, it could make sense that Dumb Fox was offering him materials to maintain their alliance.

Lin Jie laughed. “Fox, since you know that these guilds are gathering to form an alliance, aren’t I the one at a disadvantage here? Why do you still want to form an alliance with me and not join the stronger party?”

“Because I’ll gain more with you.” Dumb Fox licked his lips and said without restraint, “Even if I work with those bunch of rascals and really take over the City of Light, how much loot can I gain after splitting? If I ally myself with you, everything will be different. Although our enemies are large in numbers, once we win and attain all the battle goods, we will rapidly rise to the top. The difference between the two benefits is like heaven and hell.”

Lin Jie laughed. “Hahaha, okay! Let’s cut to the chase. We will become allies and work together. Prepare to strike fortune! Fox, just nicely, I have a favor to ask you.”

After hearing his words, Dumb Fox heaved a sigh of relief. His eyes lit up with enthusiasm.

In wars... heroes would emerge, as well as the chance to strike fortune!

“Say it! We are now on the same side, I’ll fulfill whatever you need!”

“Okay, okay... Can you lend me Inksnow for a while?”

“What?!” Fox’s expression changed instantly.

“Cough, cough, don’t misunderstand. I meant that let her join Savage Blade.

“Also, Fox, you should temporarily join Savage Blade too along with Ghost Eyes and Heaven Plume. Our team still has vacancies.” Lin Jie smiled.

“What? Your team has vacancies? Which means that you cleared the first and second boss without a full team?” Dumb Fox was utterly in shock now. Just how strong was Savage Blade?

Indeed, ever since Wine God Elder had taught Lin Jie “The Refined Punches”, it had been a long time since they had heard from him. Wine God Youngster had also disappeared and had not come online for a long time. Little Dot that rascal was too busy with school and family so he could not come online often. The second and third Savage Blade were also attacking the Holy Light Temple and could not spare any manpower. As such, Savage Blade still did not have a full team until now.

As for Silver Shield, he was sent to Ironwall Empire by The Heavenly Shield since he was not strong enough to enter Savage Blade.

They needed 4 more people.

Dumb Fox thought for a while and nodded. “Okay, I won’t hold back then. I’ve always wanted to watch you fight and learn from you so that I can train my people to form my own Savage Blade.”

“Haha, I’ll be waiting for that to happen then.” Lin Jie smiled as he added Heaven Plume, Dumb Fox, and Ghost Eyes into his team. The three of them accepted immediately while Inksnow hesitated for a while before accepting too.

Dumb Fox said over the voice communication, “Let’s not delay this any longer. I’ll mail the battle rewards over to you.”

“Cough...” Lin Jie stood in front of the provisions shop and dragged Dumb Fox, who was standing all squeezed up at the counter outside. He looked at him strangely and said, “You are already here, what are you mailing them for? Didn’t you say you want to hand them to me personally? Also, every mail requires 1 silver coin. That’s expensive.”

Dumb Fox looked at him awkwardly. “It’s your fault for running all over the place with your audio off. I had no choice but to come and stop you personally. Oh right, these are the drops from the Frost Dragon. Accept them. Hmm... Your bag alone shouldn’t be enough to carry them all. Call some people over.”

Lin Jie smiled and said, “Let’s trade. I can hold them all.”

Dumb Fox looked at Lin Jie in surprise. He opened up the trading column.

Ding~

—”You received [Frost Dragon’s Frozen Ribs].”

—”You received [Frozen Dragon Teeth]*5.”

—”You received [Glittering Dragon Leather]*5.”

—”You received [Ice Pupils].”

.........

Hoards of materials went into Lin Jie’s bag! Dumb Fox was really merciless, he had actually even shaved the Frost Dragon and obtained a total of 47 complete strands of dragon’s hair along with countless broken strands.

“Wow, how capable.” Lin Jie looked at Dumb Fox in surprise as he said with awe.

Even if it was a steel rooster, in the hands of this man, wouldn’t there be nothing left of it?
