Reborn: Super God of War - Chapter 389

Chapter 389: Meeting Inksnow Again

“Lord Viscount, farewell.”

“We welcome you anytime, Lord Viscount.”

Outside the Corporal’s Mansion, the two door guards bowed respectfully to Lin Jie, who had a satisfied expression on his face. However, both had ‘knowing’ grins on their faces.

“I told you before, Lord Viscount’s definitely not a villain! Look at the book he’s holding in his hands, isn’t that one of the favorite books Lord Corporal always likes to read? What similar interests these two friends have… Anyway, I heard that only noblemen have the means to purchase this book. I can’t even take a look if I want to, sigh…” exchanged the two guards softly. They were obviously very interested in the “Young Female Viscount Beth·Jelliya” book.

After Lin Jie had taken this book—more accurately, the [Secret Techniques of Clomaros] found within this book, he left immediately to avoid further trouble.

He had not expected that Mohamed would also own a scroll of the Secret Techniques of Clomaros. However, he could only study this scroll when he reached Level 50. This made Lin Jie extremely depressed—after all, what’s the fun in being able to see something, but not use it for himself?

Lin Jie went ahead to the Atlas Peak. With his previous climbing attempt, he became more skilled throughout his climb this time round. Within 40 minutes, he already reached the top and saw the Demigod, who was always looking down upon the lands.

What Lin Jie did not expect was that he would see another person there.

This person donned a full set of the Fiery Dragon Set, and the set wrapped around her voluptuous figure like thick dragon scales. Her helmet was like a gigantic dragon opening its mouth to roar, and with her fiery red shield and sword, she looked majestic and sexy at the same time. Her perfect curves and pretty face point to only one person—the legendary MT, Inksnow.

Lin Jie did not put on his Hermit Helmet when he was climbing up the Atlas Peak. As such, Inksnow was somewhat shocked when she saw him appear. However, she quickly revealed an enchanting smile as she greeted, “Hey, little brother, so it’s you? Did you sense that big sister here was feeling lonely all the way at the top of the peak, and hence you climbed up to come for a date with me?”

Lin Jie’s mouth twitched, and he backed off two steps involuntarily, stopping himself right before he fell down. He commented, “Madame, please show your due respect 1”

“Poof…” Inksnow couldn’t hold back her laughter, and her breasts trembled with her actions as if she was really entertained by Lin Jie’s words.

However, Lin Jie did not miss a slight action her hands made—he was particularly familiar with that action, which was the action of putting something away into one’s backpack discreetly. However, Inksnow’s actions were very small and inconspicuous.

“Little brother, you’re so interesting. However, big sister here is leaving now! Adieu! The next time we meet here again, I will reward you with a kiss.”

Lin Jie ignored her teasing. Sniffing slightly, he stared at her hands and asked softly, “Is that Ambergris?”

Inksnow was stunned. She asked, in turn, “What did you say?”

“There’s no need to hide. You exchanged for Ambergris, didn’t you? One can only exchange for Ambergris with 4 New Age Accomplishment Points. After special treatment, this scent can make a Giant Dragon become sexually aroused. Milder effects include luring it out of its lair, while the more potent effects include making it lose its fighting capacities,” rattled off Lin Jie as he cracked his knuckles, meanwhile surprising Inksnow more and more with every sentence he spoke.

“However, even if a Giant Dragon’s fighting capacities are reduced, the entire Triumphant Midnight team can still be easily wiped out by it.

“The trick to get around this situation is this: if there’s a gigantic female beast nearby, the dragon would not be able to control its urge to mate with it. After the mating process, if there are some of its companions nearby, the female beast will summon them to attack the dragon. That will be an opening for your team.”

Ignoring Inksnow’s absurd expressions, Lin Jie continued commenting in a nonchalant tone, “However, if the female beast and its companions’ levels are too low, they will not be able to take on the dragon for long. As such…

“No wonder you were willing to give up your 4 New Age Accomplishment Points so easily. My guess is… You are going to attack the Frost Dragon Mogkarachi, and also the Stampeding Kodo Queen and her companions on the Boundless Fields,” continued Lin Jie calmly.

“On one side, you have a Level 60 Dark Gold Overlord, and on the other side the Stampeding Kodo Queen a Level 60 Dark Gold Boss with an entire herd of Dark Gold Elites underlings. I suppose killing all of them will allow almost 100 members of the Triumphant Midnight to level up to Level 40?”

Inksnow threw him a cold stare, which was drastically different from her seductive looks previously. In the blink of an eye, her Fiery Dragon Sword was already placed at the edge of Lin Jie’s throat. Her eyes narrowed as she stared piercingly into Lin Jie’s eyes, growling, “Who are you?”

“Oh? Seems like I really guessed correctly. Now, don’t be so worried, put down your weapon first. This is not in the real world. Anyway, what’s the point of you, a Shield Specialist, pointing your sword at me? Who do you want to scare?” Lin Jie held lightly onto the tip of her sword and suddenly got into Enraged mode. His wrists were like a cobra that had found their way up to Inksnow’s arms quickly, and with the activation of his Disarm skill, Inksnow’s Fiery Dragon Sword fell into his hands.

Inksnow was shocked, but before she could utter another word, Lin Jie held up his hands and stopped her. He continued saying, “I don’t have any malicious intents. Your plan’s perfect, and I believe you guys have prepared for at least one month or more to make this plan come true. Or else, Dumb Fox wouldn’t bear to pay such a great price to carry it out.”

Inksnow’s face reddened. She stuck out her arms, “Jiàn 1.”

“‘Vile’? Oh, I am not a vile person, look at me, I am so innocent!” Lin Jie shook his head. Ignoring Inksnow, who was gnawing her teeth, he continued saying, “I believe you guys got the information about the Frost Dragon from the NPC at the Winterspring Valley? I can tell you now, 99% of what this NPC said was true. However, it seems like he did not tell you the Boss’ most important skill…”

“What?” Although Inksnow was infuriated at being teased by him, she controlled her temper. After all, this person in front of her seemed too knowledgeable and extraordinary, and he was able to guess every step of their plan accurately as if he was there when they discussed it. She waited for Lin Jie to continue, but at the same time secretly tried to match this person with all the exceptional figures she knew in the game.

“Transforming into a Dragon Egg! After the Frost Dragon dies, it will transform into a Dragon Egg with 1,200,000 HP. Unless you smash the egg in the next 5 seconds, it will revive again with all of its Stats. This process will repeat infinitely! At that time, your team will definitely be wiped out,” said Lin Jie with a grim tone.

Inksnow gaped silently.

Triumphant Midnight had been planning the same thing all along this while: killing the dragon. Their plan was to make use of the Ambergris they exchanged with the Demigod to arouse the Giant Dragon sexually, and then force it to mate with the Stampeding Kodo Queen on the Boundless Fields. Following which, they would lure the Stampeding Kodo herd to fight against the Giant Dragon, and whilst both parties were injured badly, the team would appear and kill off both Bosses, hence gaining the respective EXP. At that time, the great rewards for killing these two Bosses would definitely allow the whole elite team of the Triumphant Midnight guild to level up to Level 40, and hence complete their Advanced Job-Change. This would give them a sure-win chance at gaining first-kill of the third Main Plot Dungeons.

To materialize this plan, Inksnow, Dumb Fox and Midnight had made preparations for at least one full month.

However, after hearing Lin Jie’s words, Inksnow began to feel less confident in their plans. After all, who wouldn’t be devastated to see all their efforts gone to naught? It was always better to be on the careful side.

Inksnow drew in a deep breath. She calmed down and sincerely asked for advice. “What should we do to avoid this situation then?”

“Hehe, great, seems like you are finally interested in what I have to say. Then it’s time we talk conditions.” Lin Jie’s face broke into a wide grin. He patted the ground and invited her to sit down. “Come, sit here.”

Inksnow rolled her eyes and sat down huffily.

“I have very simple conditions. I just want you to include a few more players in the battle, so they can share in the EXP gained. Don’t worry, it won’t be more than 20 players. As for the rewards, we will not take any one of them. If you agree to my conditions, I can tell you the solution straight away,” said Lin Jie smugly.

“Hmph, 20 players? For heaven’s sake, we only allowed 80 players to take part in our plan this time round! Yet you wanted to add 20 of your team members to fight alongside us?” Inksnow sniffed loudly, but a flash of inspiration hit her. She replied with a sweet smile the next moment, “How about this instead—let big sister here reward you with a kiss, and you tell me the solution?”

Lin Jie coughed dryly. “Pardon me for saying this, but… I doubt your kiss is worth my solution.”

“You! You continue then.” Inksnow’s face darkened. She decided—the moment this fellow told her the solution, she would kick him off the Atlas Peak!

“Agree to my conditions first.” Lin Jie tapped his fingers on the ground, reminding her of the most important clause in their transaction.

Inksnow nodded, “Okay, I agree.”

“Great, To be honest, the solution to getting rid of the dragon egg is neither too difficult nor too easy. You just have to select a strategic battlefield. When the battle begins, you guys need to kite the monsters towards the Primitives’ Forest. Those Primitives love eggs. As long as you have their help, it wouldn’t be too troublesome to empty the dragon egg’s health bar,” revealed Lin Jie.

“Aren’t you afraid that I will not follow through with the transaction once I heard the solution? Such a naive kid you are.” Inksnow folded her arms across her chest and let out a cold laugh.

“Hmph! I am going back on my words now. I shall not keep to the terms of the transaction. As for your information, I will give you 100 gold coins in exchange instead.”

Lin Jie shrugged. “Since I am willing to tell you the solution now, I am not afraid that you will not keep your part of the transaction. The Primitives’ Forest is a whole map’s distance away from the Boundless Fields, and you need three hours to travel in between them even if you are running continuously. Other than having help from at least two powerful Hunters and a Ghost-Shadow Bandit, no one can kite the monsters for that long. You help me convey these words to Dumb Fox, and he will tell you what you should choose.”

After Lin Jie finished, he waved his hands and told Inksnow to go away. “You should leave now, don’t disturb my exchange with the Demigod.”

Inksnow couldn’t feel more exasperated at this. ‘You’re the one who peeped at what I exchanged, and then made me stay to listen to all those stuff. You then force us to accept your conditions in such a thick-skinned manner, and after you are done with showing your airs, you actually want to chase me away?!’

However, for the sake of her team, she still told Dumb Fox what she discussed with Lin Jie.

“What? Transform into a Dragon Egg? How can we have missed this piece of information! However, one of the missions we completed within the past month did hint something at how the Frost Dragon has means of reviving itself. But the information we got then was too little, and we couldn’t figure it out. So this is it.” Dumb Fox’s voice seemed rather anxious, but Inksnow could feel that he seemed rather relieved at receiving this piece of information.

Dumb Fox continued, “That guy’s right, the Boundless Fields are too far away from the Primitives’ Forest. Right now, in the entire City of Light, no one has the ability to kite Dragon Bosses except that group of people… Indeed, we can hide nothing from him. Tell him that I agree to his conditions. I will spare him another space too, please invite him to join us.”

Inksnow was shocked. What had Dumb Fox noticed that made him willing to agree to such harsh conditions?

“Little brother, our Chairman agreed.” Inksnow kept her shock as she returned to her seductive expression. Scrutinizing Lin Jie carefully, she smiled and said, “Our Chairman said ‘thank you’ to you. Can you tell me your name?”

“My name’s is—” Lin Jie looked into Inksnow’s eyes sincerely. “Lei Feng.”

“Away with you!”

Shoosh~

After his successful attempt at teasing Inksnow, Mr. Lin Jie was finally being kicked off the Atlas Peak by her.
