Reborn: Super God of War

Chapter 533: Training Newcomers

“Breeze Wind, gather at the South Gate.” Lin Jie had also sent a message to the newcomer, Breeze Wind. As for himself, he walked into the Job-Changing Hall. He had already reached Level 50, so he needed to do something fundamental—strengthening his skills.

The rule of The New Age: One would be able to accept a Strengthening Skill Mission from one’s mentor after they raised 10 levels after the Job-Change.

At the Job-Changing Hall, many players were surrounding the Warrior Mentor. Such a crowded scene even shocked Lin Jie as a place like the Job-Changing Hall would only be temporarily lively when the mainstream players reached the Job-Changing stage. Therefore, it was strange since it was only the Warrior Mentor who was surrounded by almost 100 people while there were few people at the other mentors as usual.

“Lord Mentor, please give me this mission! I am a Level 43 Berserker and not weaker than the City of Light’s City Leader. I will definitely be able to retrieve your item.”

“Choose me! I’ll give you 100 gold coins.”

“Lord Mentor, how do you think my best friend looks? Isn’t she pretty?”

“...”

The people’s faces were flushed red from fighting for the Warrior Mentor’s attention, but the Warrior Mentor just stood there coldly with his hands crossed, turning a deaf ear to everything they said. He was searching within the crowd, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He bowed respectfully to a person who walked towards him and said, “Lord City Leader.”

Lin Jie smiled and said, “Mentor, there’s no need for such formalities with me.”

Ding~

—’Warrior Mentor Reggie’s favorability of you has increased by 100.’

Everyone was astonished, the person who came was actually the City of Light’s City Leader, Codename Lone Wolf! He was indeed worthy of being in the first place in the Warrior Leaderboard. Amongst the crowd, a few ladies had their eyes shining as they looked at Lin Jie and seemed as if they wished to stick to him closely immediately. On the other hand, in the eyes of the male players, it was mainly envy, which could be seen.

“I have come to strengthen my skill,” said Lin Jie concisely and straight to the point. Once he finished, everyone heaved a sigh of relief as Lone Wolf did not come to fight for that mission.

The Warrior Mentor was slightly surprised. “You’ve already leveled up to Level 51? Amongst the humans of the alternate realms, your improvement is the fastest. I am proud to be your mentor! Hahaha... If you want to strengthen your skills, of course, there would be no problem. However, you will need to complete my mission. A mysterious canyon has appeared in the south of the city, go and take a look.”

Ding~

—’You received a Job Mission [Explore Crescent Canyon]. Since the space barrier of The New Age changed, many cracks have appeared in the surrounding maps of the City of Light. The Crescent Canyon was created then, and ferocious roars could be heard from within. Your mission is to bring back information about the canyon.’

When the mission was released, wails could be heard throughout the hall.

That group of people aimed to accept the Crescent Canyon mission from the mentor.

Half a day earlier, someone had already discovered that a few mentors of the City of Light had constantly been discussing about the new map, which had appeared south of the city. Therefore, everyone that had an acute sense of smell instantly sniffed the scent of a mission.

Hence, everyone came one after another to probe the mentors. Then they discovered that the Warrior Mentor had the deepest understanding of the information regarding that map, and so, many players were crowding around the Warrior Mentor. They were trying to accept the mission regarding the Crescent Canyon.

Who would have expected that after trying for half a day, that mission would land in the hands of Lin Jie? Everyone was green with envy as they looked at Lin Jie.

Lin Jie saw the looks from that group of players and silently shrugged his shoulders. The Crescent Canyon was a Level 55 map, even if they had accepted the mission, how many people had the confidence to be able to explore it?

After accepting the mission, Lin Jie finished his preparations needed. He conveniently went to take a batch of potions from the Sky Provisions Shop and a few sets of equipment from the Central Auction House before gathering in the south of the city.

City South, six figures were standing there casually.

“Lone Wolf.” Breeze Wind waved her hand. The time she had known Lin Jie was quite short, and in addition, she was a girl, so she was more reserved when greeting Lin Jie. Unlike someone else...

“Ahahaha, we meet again.” Hardworking Pants just directly walked towards Lin Jie and shook his hand before starting to introduce the members present. That outgoing personality made Lin Jie perspire from embarrassment as Hardworking Pants was once his enemy, and even if it were the few present members, they also could not react in time.

“Demon Sword, a Poison Bandit.” Demon Sword’s appearance was a little feminine and looked around 20. However, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle and emitted a gloomy aura. The feel that he gave out was that of being extremely aloof and proud, and the first reaction when facing Lin Jie was to spin the dagger on his hand as if he was eager to fight with Lin Jie.

The next person was Ten Thousand Men’s Enemy. He had a stocky and imposing build, and a long beard covered half of his face. He let out a warm smile and said, “Retribution Paladin, Ten Thousand Men’s Enemy, nice to meet you boss.”

Jiangnan Yanyu and Lingyun Xiaoxiao, they had a comeliness appearance but seemed a little too reserved. They nodded as a form of greeting. Hardworking Pants had done sufficient background research and introduced, “These two are roommates. They are freshmen in university, and both belong to a pure hunky boy who is too thin-skinned to have a girlfriend. Thus, it’s natural for them to be a little embarrassed.”

Lin Jie could not help but say, “Your information is quite detailed.”

“Haha, of course.” Hardworking Pants was pleased with Lin Jie’s praise.

Breeze Wind asked, “Lone Wolf, why did you gather us?”

“To level up, we will be going to the Crescent Canyon,” said Lin Jie calmly as he took out a few sets of equipment from his backpack and threw them to his teammates. “Change into them, in the Crescent Canyon, don’t use your original equipment. Also, it’s best if you don’t use skills above Level 30.”

Hardworking Pants’ eyes lit up. “There are such benefits from just entering the main team of Savage Blade? I’ve heard long ago that our boss is sharp-tongued but has a kind heart and how you treat your comrades, it’s needless to be said. Who would have thought that you would already— Uh, Red Moon Set? Moon Charm Set? Glory Set? These...”

The Red Moon, Moon Charm, and Glory Sets were the Bandits’, Knights’, and Priests’ Level 25 Gold Armor Sets, respectively. Their attributes were quite good, and of course, this was relative to Level 25 players. Currently, these sets were just trash as the sets’ attributes could barely be compared to two Dark Gold items in the current stage. It was a good thing that Lin Jie was not counted as stingy as he had given each of them a Level 30 Dark Gold weapon.

Demon Sword raised his brows and asked, “You’re testing us?”

“That’s right” Lin Jie nodded.

“Team or alone?” asked Demon Sword.

“If you can wear a Level 25 set and kill the monsters in the Crescent Canyon, you can try doing it by yourself,” said Lin Jie.

Now Demon Sword remained quiet. The monsters in the Crescent Canyon were Level 55, even normal players that teamed up would find it difficult to kill the monsters. Although the few of them were experts, with such equipment, it was useless no matter how much of an expert they were. As the saying went, “Clothes make the man.” Thus, experts that had lost their equipment would not even be able to beat a noob with superb equipment—that was the rule of the game.

Lin Jie waved his hand and signaled for everyone to summon their own mounts. They then set off towards the Crescent Canyon.

Lin Jie’s main aim, aside from exploring the Crescent Canyon, was relatively important—to train the newcomers properly.

The Crescent Canyon was a new map that had appeared after the system’s maintenance. Normally, there would be NPC camps or items that would trigger missions in maps, however, there was absolutely nothing in the Crescent Canyon. Although the number of monsters spawned and benefits obtained from killing them were quite good, it could not be compared to the traditional method of accepting mission and farming monsters. Thus, there were not many players there to level up.

Also, the mission in the Crescent Canyon had not yet been discovered. That resulted in many people who were passionate about digging missions, looking around everywhere for the mission information of the Crescent Canyon. Therefore, there was such a scene in the Job-Changing Hall.

“We’ve reached the Crescent Canyon!” reported Hardworking Pants while he pulled the reins. He was an outgoing and a talkaholic person, so he naturally took up the role of communicating with Lone Wolf.

“Continue advancing, we will directly go deeper in.” Lin Jie urged the Iron-Willed Blood Horse to continue heading in. The monsters in the peripheral were all normal monsters—they would not be effective for the training at all and were of no help to Lin Jie’s mission at all.

The background story of the Crescent Canyon was extremely simple. The Moon God had rested there once, and thus this canyon was filled with moonlight. Therefore, it attracted many monsters, which loved moonlight to reside in such a place. The Crescent Canyon also evolved under the nourishment of the moonlight, and a mutation had occurred.

The Moonlight Grass required in many Middle-Grade potions created by Potioneers had also appeared in this map in large numbers, so it had also attracted plenty of Potioneers, who came to make a fast buck.

Ding~

—’You have discovered a powerful aura when exploring the Crescent Canyon. Head deeper inside the canyon and kill the owner of this aura to enhance your strength!”

“The mission has been triggered.” Lin Jie’s eyes gleamed, a skull mark immediately appeared at the side of the small map. Meanwhile, as everyone gradually entered the Crescent Canyon’s depths, fewer players could be seen. Long and weird wails could be heard resounding in the air.

“Let’s stop here.” Lin Jie got off the horse and observed the surroundings. He said, “Now for the first mission, Demon Sword, Ten Thousand Men’s Enemy, the both of you form a team and kill that Werewolf on the left. Jiangnan Yanyu and Lingyun Xiaoxiao as a team, kill the White Werewolf on the right. Hardworking Pants!”

Hardworking Pants stood upright and said in a stern voice, “Here!”

“Watch the battle at the side and carefully think of when you can use runes to help your teammates,” said Lin Jie.

“I...” Hardworking Pants felt like crying.

Breeze Wind raised her hand. “What about me?”

“Take this rune and study it thoroughly.” Lin Jie threw a spinning rune towards Breeze Wind. Falcon had dropped that rune, and the roars wild beasts could be vaguely heard from within. That was one of the Druid’s Nine Great Techniques, Hundred Beasts’ Roar.

Demon Sword frowned. He took a look at the Retribution Paladin Ten Thousand Men’s Enemy, who smiled dumbly, and coldly said, “Don’t hold me back.” Then he charged towards a Werewolf, which was totally black and had a huge figure.

Ten Thousand Men’s Enemy smiled earnestly, after enhancing a few Blessing Spells onto Demon Sword, he also went up to help.

Jiangnan Yanyu and Lingyun Xiaoxiao instead looked at each other in blank dismay, how could two Holy Priests kill a monster? Use their staff to hit the monster while healing themselves?

Hardworking Pants was even more depressed. He originally wanted to learn battling techniques from Lin Jie, but now he had to use his eyes to look at others battling, what the heck could he even see from that?

On the other hand, Breeze Wind was the happiest as she was studying the rune with great interest.

After Lin Jie gave out a series of orders, he used Blade Aura to pull a Werewolf and directly started killing it! The Werewolves in the Crescent Canyon were Level 55 Elites and had 90,000 health points. Their claws were as sharp as blades and could ignore 20% Defense, and there was even a 60% Life-Steal effect. Hence, they were tough to deal with. Lin Jie killed monsters cheerfully, but the others were suffering painfully.

With a Level 25 set and Level 30 weapon, including the fact that they could not use kills above Level 30, it was already not bad if the monsters did not kill them! How were they going to kill the monsters? How!?
