Reborn: Super God of War

“Sun Kai, here’s you bet money and awards.” A trace of surprise flashed in the notary’s eyes. However, they had strict confidentiality clauses for customers, so he had to faithfully perform his duties and hand the bet money to Sun Kai. “Our Fight Centre also has a guild in The New Age and is buying a lot of gold coins. If you sell these gold coins to us, we will offer you 105% of the market price and exempt the cost of the fight.”

Sun Kai looked at his account and then looked at Lin Jie, gritted his teeth, and said, “OK!”

“Sure, here’s your cash, 50,800 dollars in total.” The notary handed over the cash to Sun Kai.

“Thanks… Thanks… Come over, brothers. Younger brother, here’s yours. You gave me 1,600, I give you 7,000. Li, you gave me 2,000…” Sun Kai was like enumerating his family valuables, and it was uneasy for an uneducated person like him to remember the accounts clearly.

Lin Jie stood aside and watched them in silence.

He did not know Sun Kai in front of him, but he knew the team, The Ordinary People very clear. In Lin Jie’s previous life, the first clear of Epidemic Pond dungeon had been obtained by an unfamous team 40 days after its release. This team had been named “Ordinary People” and initiated by a college student. Usually, they would only exchange the gold coins they earned from killing the monsters for allowance. They had been hardworking and persistent. On the first day of trying to clear the dungeon, they had started collecting the data of potions and successfully cleared it after they had been ready. This had surpassed the other guilds, which had been trying to kill the Boss, and thus, it had allowed them to become famous for a while! Therefore, some people had investigated them and published their relevant information on the forum. The purpose of this team to make money desperately had been to subsidize the households. Among them, some had too many brothers and sisters to raise, some’s family member had been ill… In any case, they had been a bunch of poor people.

They had been the submerged tenth. Although they had been domineering, swore loudly and drank a lot, they had actually been living much worse than the ordinary people.

At this time, the clatter of high-heeled shoes was heard, and a slim figure appeared in their eyesight. It’s nobody else but Zhang Yingfei, the top campus belle amongst the freshies of University of Arts and Science. She understood immediately when she saw Sun Kai and the others were sharing the huge amount of money: Lin Jie’s money had been all extorted!

How could she let it go when Lin Jie had slandered her in front of so many students? She sneered at Lin Jie, and her voice was like a hen in battle. “Classmate, I’m still 500 dollars a night. Can you afford that now? Don’t try to aim for the moon!”

When Lin Jie was about to speak, 500 dollars was thrown in front of Zhang Yingfei suddenly.

Sun Kai felt miserable holding the hand-burning money, which made him felt guilty. But with this money, his family situation could be greatly improved, and they did not have to worry about the meal money for the next half a year. Hence, he could only accept them.

Now, how could Sun Kai bear with Zhang Yingfei, who was acting like a white swan and trying to provoke Lin Jie?

Zhang Yingfei looked at Sun Kai scornfully and angrily,. She asked with a sharp voice, “What do you want?”

“To pay for a night with you.”

“Brother Kai, you give too much. I heard she’s only worth 200 dollars a night.”

“It’s okay, I’ll just get one more night then, I can take it.”

With gleaming eyes, the others also gritted their teeth and decided to support Lin Jie. This was a good thing about the gangs. To describe nicely, they were loyal to friends. But describing in an unpleasant way, they were just naive. Once they were on Lin Jie’s side, their sarcasm to Zhang Yingfei became even more violent, and they were almost personal attacking her.

Zhang Yingfei was indeed pretty and was even prettier than a lot of starlets. Relying on her good family ties and a few extraordinary pursuers, she was snobbish, just like how a fairy looked down on ordinary people. As she had usually been treating the so-called ‘gangsters’ like Sun Kai as mockeries, Sun Kai and others would definitely take this chance now and avenge!

Lin Jie shook his hands and said, “At least her pursuer is still your boss, and you don’t have to displease him because of me. Although I don’t care about what happened, your boss may not. You should leave first.”

His words made Sun Kai and others blush and breath heavily like cows, and they did not know what to do.

Sun Kai looked at this young man who was two years younger than him seriously, bowed respectfully and said, “Sorry, after all, we’re licking his boots. We really can’t offend our boss… Let’s go!”

The color of Zhang Yingfei’s face turned ashen, and she also wished to leave. After all, the reason why she had dared to come here was that she wanted to see the miserable face of Lin Jie and ask him to kneel down and apologize to her as agreed with Zhou Xiao! However, she did not expect all the hatchet men to leave together. How could she deal with a big fellow like Lin Jie alone?

“What are you rushing for?” Lin Jie sneered as he grabbed Zhang Yingfei’s hand. “Where’s your pursuer? Oh, excuse me, I forgot that it’s evening now, you pursuer might be in bed with another woman and has no time for you.”

Zhang Yingfei said fiercely, “Let me go! Believe it or not, I’ll get you out of this university tomorrow! You toad, useless waste, slick talker trash…”

Slap—

Zhang Yingfei was completely stunned. On her face, there was a conspicuous palm print!

“You, you dare to hit me?!” As Zhang Yingfei was just about to lose her temper, a clear and crisp sound was heard again.

Slap—

Slap—

Lin Jie’s face was gloomy as if the face in front of him was not a face at all, but a sandbag! Pieces of memories flashed back in his mind. In Lin Jie’s previous life, Zhang Yingfei had made fun of Zhang Qiong by flirty means and had even used his help to level up when she had first entered the game. However, when Zhang Qiong’s level had eventually been unable to benefit her, her smiley face had disappeared, and she had gone on to flirt with other guys.

But Zhang Qiong had completely fallen in love with her in a month. He had been running to the downstairs of her dorm and shouted her name every day, but his action had been jeered by countless people. In the end, Zhang Yingfei had moved out of the dorm and started dating a well-known guy who had rich parents. Zhang Qiong had also been taught a lesson in a hard way, lied in bed for more than one month until later he then slowly recovered. But this had still left him a psychological wound.

This woman was a troublemaker!

“Don’t appear in front of me from now on, I’ll slap you every time I see you! Nothing could make me feel better than destroying flowers mercilessly…” Lin Jie snapped his finger as if they were stuck with some dirty things, and said, “If you want to find someone to deal with me, you can try by all means. I can slap them to death with one slap!”

After that, Lin Jie left the Fight Centre, leaving Zhang Yingfei alone.

……

“With the Sky Provisions Shop to attract the players and secretly establish my own influence, my power has been sufficiently huge in the game. Although it’s not obvious yet, it’s beginning to take shape, and Brotherhood becomes more influential. But I’m still too weak in the real world!” Lin Jie frowned. “My strength is helpful in the fights, but I can’t rely on it to solve everything. The most powerful thing in the world is guns!

“Besides, I can’t hide behind Ziliang forever. I have to build my own power and relationships in the real world in order to keep a foothold.”

“Baili’s resources can be helpful too. Maybe the game can be used as the connection.”

Lin Jie had many ideas in mind. All in all, he was too weak in the real world! He was neither rich nor had rich parents, and he could do nothing significant by simply relying on fighting.

He slapped his head when he stepped into the dorm. “I forgot about the soup noodles! F*ck!”

Unexpectedly, bursts of laughter came from the dorm. Lin Jie was happy as it was good to have visitors! As Zheng Ziliang had many friends, he could hide the fact that he had forgotten about the soup noodles if he asked Zheng Ziliang to treat them for dinner!

“Lin Jie’s here.”

“Jie, you’re finally back. These seniors are here for you.”

Lin Jie was stunned upon hearing this. As he opened the door, he saw Sun Kai and others squeezed in the dorm, and there were some soup noodles on the table.

“Hehe, I saw you forget to bring the noodles, so I’m here to deliver them to you. The boss insisted on giving you more pork chops, I couldn’t say no.” Sun Kai scratched his head, and his fierce face, unexpectedly, looked shy.

Lin Jie smiled, thinking that perhaps the boss had given extra pork chops because he had been scared by their looks!

“I’m here for serious stuff.” Sun Kai restrained his expression and shoot the others a look. The others stood up and called, “Leader!”

“Puff…”

Zheng Ziliang spouted out the soup in his mouth and said as he coughed, “Jie, you just went out and got yourself so many followers in such a short time? That’s very efficient!”

Lin Jie was also stunned.

“Here’s the thing, we feel sorry for taking your money.” Other person came out. His game ID was Gather of Three Flowers, with his skinny body, he looked like an old Taoist priest from a costume drama. “So we talked to Zhou Xiao just now, and we wish to quit this job.”

“And then?” Asked Yan Li with a serious look.

“Then… he asked us to f*ck off, so we came here.” Sun Kai grinned and lowered his volume, “Leader Lone Wolf, please let us join you!”

How could Lin Jie say no to these experts who came to his door! Actually, this was what he wanted!

Lin Jie would only teach them a hard lesson if their behavior was like Wu Jun! ‘Don’t even think about getting his help!’

Kill In Ten Steps and the others had achievements in the game, and they were stronger than more than half of the members in Brotherhood. Moreover, they were less trained as they were only casual adventurers with busy schedules. Hence, with more detailed training, their abilities would be greatly improved.

“Welcome to Brotherhood.” Lin Jie reached out his hand and smiled.

Sun Kai shook hands in awe and said with a hollow laugh, “Thank you! Thank you! I’ll be depending on you in the game. If anyone dares to cause you trouble in the real world, I’ll definitely take care of them for you!”

“You don’t have to change your team name, The Ordinary People. I’ll allocate some reward points to you as you joined Brotherhood. Starting from today, it won’t be difficult for you to support your families by taking on the missions.” Lin Jie made arrangements and said, “If you have enough reward points and abilities, you can expect to become rich soon.”

After an exchange of conventional greetings, Sun Kai and the others went back to their respective dorms and were preparing for joining Brotherhood. While Lin Jie felt relieved as everything went smoother than he had imagined.

When seeing the unexpected visitors leave, Zhang Qiong closed the door and whispered, “I’ve heard some gossips. The guy named Zhou Xiao spoke to our drillmaster and wanted him to give Lin Jie an opening gambit. He asked him to increase the intensity of the training and straightaway cripple Lin Jie, hehehe…”

Yan Li frowned, “How’s this funny?”

“Let me finish!” Zhang Qiong knocked on the table. “The drillmasters are tough guys from the army! I heard that our drillmaster rejected him immediately and applied to let Zhou Xiao join us so that he can train together to experience the life of military training again, hahaha…”

Lin Jie gave a teasing smile as life would be more fun with Zhou Xiao joining them.
