Chapter 54: Demon Robe
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Everyone had their difficulties.
Lin Jie could not just tell them that he was reborn and his family would be destroyed in 7 years. In order to stop such a thing from happening again, he would need a powerful group and Brotherhood was part of it.
The story was scary enough to hear, and let alone believing it.
Maybe everyone would think that he was crazy.
“I’m willing to give half of the holdings I have in Brotherhood to you,” said Lin Jie seriously. “That is to say the absolute power to control the stocks lies within our hand, together.”
Netherblue smiled gently and said, “I’m not interested in your stocks. I just want my team…” She looked at Qiu Yuan, then Water and shook her head, losing her confidence in her voice. “… to emerge as the top.”
Water put his hand around Netherblue and looked up at Lin Jie, then lowered it again. Finally, he summoned up his courage and said, “Expert bro, it was very selfish of you this time. Can’t you tell what Sister Netherblue is thinking? The reason why she gave the second authority to you is that you will be our leader in the future.”
“All she wanted was for the team to stand in front of all the players again before changing the name!”
Water finished speaking excitedly. He looked away from Lin Jie and shrugged his shoulder. “Anyway, I know what she is thinking, and since you are better than me, I thought you knew it too.”
Lin Jie was rendered speechless. He was indeed selfish this time and did not comply with the agreement. But…
“I need fame and reputation, I need Brotherhood to grow.” Lin Jie looked at the helmet in his hand and laughed bitterly. “I also do not wish to use you. But sometimes, I just have to make a choice. Log into the game, that’s the choice I made. I need to grow, that’s the choice I made too.”
“I’m sorry! I have my difficulties. Please trust me again if possible! Trust me, we’ll keep a low-profile for now, and we will reach the top eventually. We will be among the top players and be cheered by all others!”
After Lin Jie was done, he gave them a 90-degree bow!
Netherblue, Qiu Yuan, Water, and Innocent Killer were all shocked instantly. They had never seen the invincible Fu Sheng at such state, expressing himself truthfully like that. All their grudges against him were all gone by his apologies.
“Maybe only such leaders could bring us to the top of the game!” That was the thought in everyone’s mind at that moment.
Everyone stood there for a long time.
The next day…
“Thank you.” Lin Jie sent a message to everyone.
When messaging Netherblue, he added on the strategy for the first clearing of the expert-level of Castle Wood, as well as lots of potions and items.
Qiu Yuan replied quickly, “I’ll forgive you this time. I’m drinking pure glutinous wine with Sister Netherblue. It tastes fantastic! I’ll treat you next time. Talk to you later, you can go play with the sand now.” Lin Jie was speechless as he touched his own nose.
Zheng Ziliang replied too, saying, “Wow Jie! The whole-hearted speech was not bad just now. I almost cried. Teach me, and I can go flirt around with girls. They will surely fall for me.”
Lin Jie smiled and replied, “Lol, go away.” freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺
“By the way, help me get some equipment. I’m so pathetic now in the team that I cannot do anything.” Zheng Ziliang understood Lin Jie and would not mention anything about yesterday.
Lin Jie thought for a while and sent him a teleportation scroll. That was the scroll to Dark Monastery. Zheng Ziliang needed another half Dark Contract set. If the set was completed, it would be comparable to the set dropped in Castle Wood. Since there were more of Werewolves in the castle, most of the dropped items were for Warriors and Bandits.
After Lin Jie settling his studd, he straightened his wolf-teethed helmet. The wolf head covered his facial features. Half of his eyes were hidden by the wolf mouth. The sharp teeth were left outside on purpose as though he was showing off. Lin Jie looked very powerful with the armor. The advantage of heavy armor was that even bronze equipment could arm one like Transformers.
After Brotherhood got the first clear of Castle Wood…
Lin Jie received a huge shock when he entered the channel for Brotherhood.
The members of Brotherhood had grown rapidly in just a few hours. The achievements of the Brotherhood were obvious to all, and the “cooperation” of the Kingdom of Glory had attracted countless people’s attention to this mysterious organization.
Posts that were guessing the channel number had almost dominated the entire forum, and the numbers were strange. Finally, the channel number 90090 had been made public, and the players who had joined Brotherhood were proud to publicize it everywhere. It directly caused a grand occasion. In this regard, Lin Jie refused no one and accepted all!
The mission board was classified into different boards based on values, difficulties, and rewards. The top mission was “Hunt down the leader of Brotherhood.”
Mission details: Identify and kill the leader of the Brotherhood! Identify and be rewarded with 10,000$! One kill rewards 100,000$! Disbandment of Brotherhood, award: 1.000.0000$!
Lin Jie raised his eyebrows. “Good fellow! Who is so rich?”
Channels, unlike guilds, could not be disbanded once they were established! Otherwise, Lin Jie would like to take this task; disband, rebuild, disband, rebuild… Who would still play the game?
As a leader, Lin Jie had the authority to delete the mission. But he did not do so for a simple reason: Brotherhood was an organization for loners, and it did not need authoritarianism but pure justice! If the mission was deleted just because it involved him, the Brotherhood was not going to survive. He might as well go back home and farm.
Other missions were hanging at the side—-[Add and contact the leader of Brotherhood], together with it was his contact number. In the eyes of wise players, Brotherhood was a huge sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
Most of them were the guild masters from other small guilds, but there were a few big fish. For example, Demon Robe! Lin Jie was very familiar with that name. He belonged to a guild that had yet to be established, the Dark-Robed Knights Guild. It had been a group of mysterious players under the lead of Baili Changcheng in Lin Jie’s previous life.
“State your price.” Lin Jie sent in the message with a smile, not knowing that the smile was filled with evil in other players’ eyes.
Demon Robe was dressed in a dark black scaly leather, with a mask, and the dagger in his hand was like a sickle. His temperament was extremely cold. His dagger struck a fisherman’s tender and fragile neck, and a critical hit ended the disgusting amphibian directly. He had no friends, or it was better to say that the person in his friends’ column never contacted him.
‘Could it be a member of Brotherhood?’ Demon Robe was excited for a moment, and he checked the ID of the person. It was Code Lone Wolf.
“Leader?” Demon Robe probed.
“State your price.” Lin Jie repeated.
“I need to know what I can get for being a Legend before I decide on the amount. Maybe… check players’ name?” f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂
“Nope.”
“A part of leader’s authority?”
“Nope.”
Demon Robe frowned and said, “Then, what do I get for Legend?”
Lin Jie smiled, “Legend can help you lessen the time to put up a mission. That’s all.”
“200,000$.”
“Plus 4,000$ intakes and we have a deal.”
“Deal.”
After the trade was completed, Lin Jie gave him 3% of his stocks. That amount was far more than the worth of Brotherhood in the future. Sadly, the future was still unknown, that was why it could get this profit.
Money was saved in a virtual account instead of withdrawing it. 200,000$ was not a small amount for Lin Jie. He would keep this amount growing! But 4,000$ intakes was indeed a good piece of news.
Great waves would sweep away sand, and sand must be kept enough!
If Demon Robe was to represent the three alliances and infiltrate Brotherhood to erode it from inside, then surely the outcome would not be favorable for him.
Despite this, there was a need to keep a balance between the Legends. Dumb Fox from Triumphant Midnight was applying for Legend as well. Lin Jie gave him a position and sold 3% of the stocks at a price of 150,000$, together with 2,000$ intakes. Other than that, The Heavenly Shield and Netherblue were set as Legends as well. Demon Robe and Dumb Fox were curious about those Legends.
Wine God Elder, Demon Robe, Dumb Fox, The Heavenly Shield, Netherblue and Lin Jie were the six Legends. As for the last slot of Legend, Lin Jie had a person in mind and would not sell the position anymore.
The common factor that tied the people in Brotherhood together was simply benefits. If those benefits were to be taken away, Brotherhood would be gone. The large number of members in Brotherhood covered almost the entire Guild of Light. There were members and missions from Brotherhood from dozens of cities. There would always be benefits, and thus the organization could last.
But that was not enough!
An organization needed to achieve something great, and that would require a sharp edge.
There was a ranking that scored the members based on how many missions a player had completed. Players could receive more missions when they made it into the ranking. Since all of the people in Brotherhood used codes instead of their real names, it was hard for people to remember them. Thus, players who made it into the ranking would receive a free Hermit Helmet from Brotherhood and change the Code into their name in the guild.
The benefits had made many people cheer with joy. Not to mention how cool the helmet was when the code name was made famous, its worth was comparable to the name of a pro.
There was an additional contract on Hermit Helmet: Should the user quit the guild, it would be collected back by the guild, and the code name would be deleted. That was to say, if anyone was thinking of quitting the guild after becoming famous, then they’d better give it a second thought.
Complete missions! Countless members of Brotherhood were keeping their eyes on the leaderboard and were spamming to complete missions so as to get a place on it. Some players even came up with offers such as buy 5 get 1 free or 20% off for hiring them personally. For a while, that practice was imitated by many people.
Rich people saw that the employment price was much lower, and they threw out missions, hired killers, hired killers for Bosses, hired dozens of younger brothers to parade in the streets and attract the attention of girls, etc. In short, all kind of missions came out.
The entire game was suddenly very crowded.
Even so, Lie Jie was visibly depressed. In such a massive situation, how easy was it to take up the missions of killing 1,000 people?
Just then, a clear and crisp sound echoed.
System Announcement: A land appeared in the Forest City.
“This is….guild base!” Lin Jie’s pupils shrank.
