After waiting for three hours, the two NPC mentors’ date entered the right path.
Ding~
—’Warrior Mentor Reggie’s favorability of you has increased by 200.’
—’Warrior Mentor Reggie’s favorability of you has increased by 200.’
…
Lin Jie was shocked, looking at the system prompt messages. Among many mentors of different jobs, it was the most difficult to increase the Warrior Mentor’s favorability due to his indomitable character. In Lin Jie’s previous life, Warrior Mentor had boldly said, “Come to me with the head of the enemy you killed with your own hands if you want to get my approval!”
Hence, in the following month, the vast army of Warrior players had rushed to the Tribe of Darkness and collected tens of thousands of heads of players, NPCs, and monsters to present to him. To their surprise, they had found out that every 100 heads had only increased the favorability points by 1! Lin Jie had been one of them in his previous life, and he had killed the superior-grade officer of the Tribe of Darkness. Not to mention the effort he had put in, he had spent over 100 gold coins for this! And when Lin Jie had brought back the officer’s head to his mentor joyfully, the mentor had been happy and said, “Good job, young fellow! I think highly of you!” Then… the favorability points had increased… by 2 points!
Damn! With many expectations, in the beginning, Lin Jie had almost coughed out some blood. Had the mentor been trying to imply that he was an idiot? Since then, Lin Jie had given up on increasing the favorability points, and he would never ever going to do such stupid things again!
Ding~
—’Warrior Mentor Reggie’s favorability of you has increased to Esteem!”
Lin Jie raised his eyebrows. This was so different from his previous life! When the favorability had reached Esteem, it would not be hard to increase it to Admiration if he spent some time to farm it. Then, he could receive Heritage Missions. However, Lin Jie was not interested in the Heritage Missions of a Warrior Mentor, he wanted at least a Warrior Hero’s!
The two mentors continued their lovers’ talk, and Lin Jie guessed that it would become inappropriate for him to continue to guard them. Looking around, he decided to return to the city as the Bandits should have left.
Now, he had to make a decision: To study the Secret Techniques of Clomaros first, or to complete the Epic Job Mission?
From the previous volume of the Secret Techniques of Clomaros, it seemed that it could improve one’s strength by a huge level, but it could be more random, and the difficulty of the mission varies. While the Epic Job Mission must be a very difficult mission!
The latter!
Lin Jie tore open the quest book with excitement, and activated the job mission!
Ding~
—”Do you accept the Job Mission [Primordial Secret Scroll]?”
Yes!
The Epic Job Missions were divided into “Primordial Hero”, “Primordial Ruin”, “Primordial Secret Legend”, “Primordial Secret Scroll” and so on, which corresponded to various figures or events in history.
Ding~
—”You have received a Primordial Secret Scroll, the primordial power makes you unable to decode. Head to the Atlas Peak and look for the protector of the land. He may give you the answer.”
A lilac color scroll fell into Lin Jie’s hands.
“Armor mission?” Lin Jie thought as he looked at the pattern on the scroll. This was a nearly damaged armor. The shoulders, waist, and chest were fragmented as if they had been torn apart, barely maintaining the shape of the armor.
This object on the scroll indicated the content and rewards of the mission.
Lin Jie frowned. If the reward was an armor, it would be useless to him. The reward for Epic Job Mission was an armor, and the highest grade of the armor was Dark Gold. In addition, the reward was the shards; hence, lots of time and effort were needed to complete the entire equipment. With this effort, it was better for him to enhance the Kiara Beast King Armor, which was a genuine Sub-Legendary armor.
However, the mission rewards varied, especially for the reward of Epic Job Missions. Also, the Atlas Peak, which was involved in the mission, was the peak that Lin Jie must conquer in this life! Besides, Warrior Mentor’s favorability had reached an unprecedented level of Esteem. If he received the mission from him but did not complete it, the favorability points could fall sharply. After thinking about it, Lin Jie packed his things and headed to the Atlas Peak.
The Atlas Peak was the first peak of The New Age. It went straight into the clouds and was extremely steep. It was said that the Atlas Peak was The New Age’s Pillar of The World, which led to the most mysterious “Pantheon”. Of course, this was only a rumor which was heard occasionally from the NPCs.
A world-class achievement could be obtained by climbing the Atlas Peak. As far as Lin Jie knew, this achievement had yet to be taken away.
“Tiger King, out!” Lin Jie summoned the Tiger King Bangalash. With a loud and powerful roar, it ran toward the Atlas Peak under Lin Jie’s command! It was worth mentioning that with the widespread promotion of mounts, the white pony was no longer the only mount. In the City of Light Central Auction House, another mount, the Broken Wing Earth Dragon, was introduced, and this mount was comparable to the Tiger King Bangalash. It was an ancient lizard that possessed a very weak Dragon Bloodline. It had strong attributes, which could provide Magic Resistance to its owner, and its Movement Speed was 5% faster than the Tiger King.
Atlas Peak!
This peak was like the earth stretching out its palm, pointing directly at the sky, but also like a giant on its knees, standing up to the world. This peak was extremely steep, with very few footholds. Halfway up the mountain, it was accompanied by convective gales. If one was blown down carelessly, they would end up dead.
“Yo, brother Crazy Tiger is here again! I heard you picked up Gold equipment yesterday, when is your treat?”
“Hmph, it’s only a piece of Gold equipment, which only worths a few dozens of gold coins if I sell it to the Sky Provisions Shop. How can it compare with the Dark Gold shard that you got by a sneak attack last week? That must worth a hundred gold coins. Old Dragon, if I didn’t care about morality, I would have spread the news.”
“Shh! A new guy is coming! His equipment is good, I’ll go and follow him first!”
The two Bandits whispered far away from Lin Jie, but under the Silver-Feathered Eagle’s eyes, their conversation fell into Lin Jie’s ear. After getting killed many times, the feather of the Silver-Feathered Eagle appeared a little purple, with a trace of the Thunder Silver-Feathered Eagle’s appearance.
After seeing Lin Jie, the eyes of the Bandit named Old Dragon lit up. He activated the Stealth mode and followed behind Lin Jie. But he was skillful and kept a far distance from Lin Jie that Lin Jie could not find him at all.
As the first peak of The New Age, Atlas Peak had attracted countless players who liked climbing or interested in the hidden mission to come here, and every day, as many as hundreds of players fell to death. As a result, a large number of speculators who made a living by picking up equipment had emerged. Most of them were Bandits. They did nothing but focus on the climbing players. Once the players fell down, they would rush up immediately to grab their equipment to sell for money.
“OMG! I can’t see him anymore!”
“Is it true that… he’s going to be the first person to reach the top of Atlas Peak?”
“No way! What kind of experts have we not seen in such a long time? Even Dumb Fox, Ghost Eyes, or the Wine God Youngster and Codename Dark Blue from the Brotherhood have been here. Which one of them was close to success?”
“It’s hard to say, maybe he is gifted?”
At the foot of the Atlas Peak, many people crowded around, and their eyes were focused on the same place: a naked player tightly clinging to the edge of Atlas Peak like a human gecko, it seemed that he would climb up the in next second!
Lin Jie watched from afar. ‘I didn’t expect that someone has already climbed so high up!’ He had climbed to the highest visible point, and the next step up was the clouds. The wind whistled like a beast, it was very hard to keep his body balanced there!
Out of a sudden, the wind blew more fiercely! This player was an arrow at the end of its flight, he lost his balance after being blown by the strong wind. Although he desperately grasped the edge, he was still blown down! Hundreds of Bandits appeared out of nowhere and crowded at the foot of the peak, planning to make a windfall while he fell to death.
Lin Jie’s mouth curved up in a smile as he thought, ‘No matter who this player is, he is definitely not ordinary as he had the ability to climb such a long distance.’ Hence, he should give him a hand if he could, as befriending this player, could surely be beneficial to him.
“Forward Charge!”
As the player almost fell to the ground, Lin Jie turned into a black shadow, stepped and jumped forward like a flash of black lightning, and collided with him! The power of falling, as well as the player’s heavy weight, from the peak of Atlas Peak, was no less than a falling meteor. At the point of collision, Lin Jie felt a sharp pain, as if he was going to be bombed into the ground!
-837!
With a high defense, he still suffered from such high damage—one could see from this that the impact was so great!
“Come on!” Lin Jie yelled and stabbed the peak with Army Obliteration, Shield Cut, and Weakness Exploit in order to reduce resistance. Enchanted Scaly Armor grew out of his body surface, and his health points were continuously poured in! With the drop in health points, Lin Jie’s strength doubled, and every time he rotated his body, the force of falling down was slowly eliminated.
“Hah—”
Lin Jie pushed the player, and he flew out with a loud noise, hit the Atlas Peak. The broken stones flew in all directions.
“Hurry up! Go!”
“Hahaha, equipment, equipment! This time they definitely belong to me!”
“F*ck off, they’re mine… OMG!”
“Oh my…”
All the Bandits were stunned!
This player did not die!
With the Stun effect of Forward Charge, the power of stabbing the peak, and the rotation to eliminate the forces, Lin Jie reduced the impact of falling to a very low level. This superb skill would reduce the damage by dozens of times!
The players were not surprised by this, but by… the fact that the player who fell down was a woman! She had long removed her armor to lighten her weight and keep the balance to climb the Atlas Peak, wearing only a tight shirt and safety pants. Her bosom almost made her shirt explode, and her white thighs were amazing.
‘What a perfect woman!’ The onlookers swallowed their saliva.
Her appearance was extremely beautiful, especially her white, basketball-sized bosom, which was almost against gravity! Most importantly, as the Atlas Peak was too steep, her shirt was inevitably torn. A lovely torn was right around her heart, revealing a little white skin, and even could see a little pink dot if one looked closely.
Burg…
Not sure who started first, the sound of swallowing rose one after another.
“What are you looking? Haven’t you seen beautiful women before?” This woman took out her armors and put them on one by one without changing her facial expression. With the sigh of the crowd, all her armors were put on! She now looked like a heroic goddess of war, holding a heavy shield majestically.
She ignored the crowd and went straight to Lin Jie, who was on the verge of death after saving her. He was sitting on the ground and eating bread to recover his health points.
“Hey, thanks.”
“Er… You’re welcome… Sorry, I didn’t notice you’re a woman. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have done it.” It took Lin Jie some time to react. Damn, good intentions had done bad things! He did not expect that the player he had rescued was a girl, her torn shirt must be embarrassing for her!
She smiled. “What wouldn’t have you done?”
“I wouldn’t have saved you. Didn’t your initial intention be ‘Either to succeed or fall to death’? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have taken off your armors. Saving you seems like a waste of effort.”
“You can’t say that either. After all, it’s difficult to level up in The New Age now, and nobody wants to downgrade for no reason.” The woman curved up her lips disdainfully, showing a smile on her pretty face and stretched out her hand. “So, thank you, cute little brother. Let me introduce myself, I’m Inksnow.”
