Chapter 89: Bandits Attacking The City

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

An old broken big red flag, a few hundreds of underlings holding rusty kitchen knives in addition to a run-down cave. That was the bandit’s lair in Qifeng Mountain.

“F*ck, I’ve been a bandit for so long but nothing was obtained from robbing! If this continues, how can I support my wife and give birth to children? How can I level up to a Gold-tiered Boss and conquer the world? I-I should not have given up my soldier position in the first place to become a bandit.” Noisy sounds of flustered and exasperated scolding sounds mixed with cups breaking could be heard.

Wearing a broken armor with a longsword full of rusty stain marks hung at his waist, his looks were almost similar to when Lin Jie first entered the game.

Qifeng Mountain Bandit Boss: Level 15 Boss, Health Points: 28,000

When Lin Jie and the small bandit walked in, the bandit boss was flinging the rusted long spear all around in anger, and so coincidentally, it was pierced right towards Lin Jie’s head!

“Zeng!”

As the long spear attacked, Lin Jie casually stretched out his right hand, grabbing right onto the shaft of the long spear.

The bandit boss turned around and scolded loudly, “Who are you? You even dare to receive my spear, are you looking for death?”

Lin Jie took out his token and threw it on the table.

“Soldier!” The bandit boss’ pupils constricted, pulling back his weapon, he shouted loudly, “Surround him!”

The many bandits immediately listened to his order and instantly surrounded Lin Jie tightly.

“Hahaha, I never thought that someone would just come and fall right into my hands,” exclaimed the bandit boss in amazement. “After robbing you, I can raise my level, good, good!”

That’s right, as a bandit boss, his levels could also be raised. As long as the number of robberies reached a certain degree, their tiers could even evolve. Of course, with their attributes, wanting to rob a group of elite NPCs? Their end was imaginable.

“Boss…” The bandit that brought Lin Jie in took a deep breath, summoned up his courage and said, “It’s this brother that saved me.”

“Yeah boss, he helped me too.”

“I also took his life-saving bread.”

“…”

Tens of bandits stood up for him and helped absolve Lin Jie one after another.

The bandit boss’ name gradually changed, meaning he started struggling internally. Lin Jie took advantage of that and spoke, “I have a way to bring you guys into the City of Light to rob.”

“What?” The bandits’ eyes lit up. ‘Rob the City of Light? This was great achievements!’

The bandit boss’ name turned into pale red, proving that he was still cautious towards Lin Jie, but they could still communicate.

Lin Jie continued speaking, “My official position is a Section Leader and I can bring 20 brothers into the city. By then, you can attack those unarmed alternate realms’ humans…”

It was really Simon Qing taking a fancy to Pan Jinlian 1 , one with intention, one with courage, both hit it off.

The bandit boss immediately dispatched 20 level 15 bandits with the strongest attributes to follow Lin Jie into the city. He himself, on the other hand, had to stay guard at the Qifeng Mountain or else the system would respawn a new bandit boss, whereas he would be reduced to a normal monster.

The 20 bandits held their heads down in silence, following tightly behind Lin Jie. Luckily, there weren’t many players leveling up along the way, or else if a few troublemakers were around to attack the bandits a few times, they would deviate from the plot and become normal monsters to attack people.

After returning to the City of Light, Lin Ji was stopped by the guards.

“Who are these people behind you?” shouted the guard loudly.

“Captives, the City of Light lacks soldiers, they shall join my section.” Lin Jie showed them his Section Leader token.

“It’s the leader’s token, you are permitted to pass through.” The guard saw that Lin Jie’s official position was higher than his so he hurriedly let them pass. The bandits that had lowered their heads winked at each other, and their favorability instantly increased over 300 points.

After bringing a group of bandits into the City of Light, Lin Jie randomly found an inn to sit down. The soldiers in the City of Light changed shifts thrice per day, and there were about a 10 minutes blank in-between.

“Do all of you remember what I have told you?” asked Lin Jie.

“We remember!” The bandits nodded their heads in succession.

Lin Jie looked at the time and his face turned cold. “Now’s the time, go!”

Swoosh!

20 bandits stood up abruptly and charged outside!

Lin Jie immediately rushed towards the jail. It wasn’t easy to jailbreak someone as the NPCs guarding the Holy Church were all elite Paladins and the enhancement of divine spells towards each other being stacked up could make them as powerful as a Bishop-level Boss. If he couldn’t forcefully break him out, then he could only use strategic means.

As he rushed to the jail of the City of Light, Lin Jie was stopped.

“I just want to see my friend.” Lin Jie revealed his identity and at the same time took out 10 silver coins, secretly handing it over to the guards’ hands.

If other people did this, the guards would probably throw that person in jail, but Lin Jie was successful as he had a social status in the city! Also, with money to open the way.

“Let him pass!” said the guard who took the silver coins over smilingly and bowed.

Lin Jie entered successfully. The City of Light jail was very big, some NPCs imprisoned here had committed crimes. Some of them even had some missions with rich rewards hidden.

“Brother Fu Sheng!” The Heavenly Shield was sitting on a dark and damp floor looking bored. Once he saw Lin Jie, he shouted loudly, “If you still didn’t come I would have suffocated from boredom. Hurry, pass a message to my trusted aide and ask him to help me hire a girl who is good at chatting to come…”

Lin Jie said in an apologetic tone, “You’ve worked hard. Prepare yourself, we are getting out.”

“Getting out?” The Heavenly Shield stared blankly at Lin Jie.

At that moment, the system announcement sounded!

Regional Announcement: City of Light is being attacked by bandits! Defend the City Mission is activated! Those who capture the bandits can exchange the bandits for rich rewards!

Regional Announcement: A bandit has appeared at coordinate 2414.2563… A bandit has appeared at coordinate 9541.101…

When the alarm sounded all the guards were dispatched!

According to Lin Jie’s instructions, these bandits followed the hit-and-run tactic, they really learned the essence of China guerrilla. Also, the type of places they robbed were all Potion Shops, Material Shops, and Enchantment Shops, where there were few players. The NPCs of these places had levels lower than 10, so the bandits just rushed into the shop, grabbed the items and ran away. Their actions were fast, accurate and fierce, and their efficiency was extremely high.

In addition, the 20 people split up to commit the crime, running around everywhere, even confusing the guards.

“There are few hundreds of bandits that invaded the city, guards, capture them!” The jail guards also saw the regional announcement and rushed out one after another.

Guarding the jail was such a suckish job, who was willing to do it? The jail guards looked forward to quickly raising their positions, wasn’t it better to go onto the streets to collect protection fee?

Seeing the guards leave in succession, Lin Jie equipped his Broken Blade, activating Flame Boost, and he slashed towards the iron bar, bringing sparks of fire!

The City of Light’s jail used the Goblin Counterfeit Titan Alloy, immune to any attack under Sub-Legendary. However, the Broken Blade’s grade was far higher than legendary, so after a few slashes, a cut had already appeared and it was not small.

Lin Jie gritted his teeth and continued slashing. Only hearing a rattle, a small hole that could allow a person to enter and leave appeared.

The Heavenly Shield’s eyes lit up and hurriedly left the jail.

“Run!” shouted Lin Jie. This moment was just nice as there were no jail guards present, and thus the two of them immediately made a getaway.

At the same time, the Qifeng Mountain bandits’ attack also ended, 15 bandits had been caught by the players and NPCs together.

“Go to another city to hide for a while, come back after the system has finished maintenance,” said Lin Jie to The Heavenly Shield. Currently, he was still listed as wanted, and if he were to be captured, his punishment would double.

“Okay!”

After sending Old Shield off, Lin Jie rushed to the Sky Provision Shop. Five bandits were hiding within it.

Lin Jie took out a few bottles of low-grade Invisible Potion for them to drink it down. The Sky Provisions Shop was near the city gate, with Lin Jie to cover them, the five bandits finally escaped to the outside of the city.

“Hurry and return,” said Lin Jie hurriedly.

“Yes, yes, thank you, benefactor!” The five bandits were in a panic and they returned to Qifeng Mountain while frightened out of their wits.

Ding~

—’The favorability of Qifeng Mountain bandits towards you has increased by 50 points.’

—’You have activated Qifeng Mountain reputation, you have received a total of 175 points of reputation from the action this time.’

“Hahaha, good brother, good brother!” The bandit boss laughed heartily. As the leader, all the credits his underlings earned would be his. The action this time allowed him to raise his level by 2. If this could happen once every day, evolving into Gold-tiered boss would be just around the corner.

Meanwhile, the five bandits that successfully escaped back to the cave, evolved into Sub-Elites.

However, the bandit boss did not even care about the 15 brothers that were captured and with one foot in the grave.

“Brother, the items robbed this time are not bad, enough for us to live comfortably for quite a while, hahaha,” the bandit boss laughed and continued, “I have put a part of the items at Old Six. If you want it, then go and see.”

Old Six was the Qifeng Mountain bandit’s accountant.

“Hello,” said Old Six with a combination of elegance and gentlemanhood. Then, the conversation page was opened.

Lin Jie took a look, the only items that could be exchanged were miscellaneous like [half a marble], [Used burnt-out torch] that were not worth anything!

Gaining Qifeng Mountain reputation was invented by a Bandit called Boiling Frog. [1. A fable describing a frog being slowly boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is put suddenly into boiling water, it will jump out, but if the frog is put in tepid water which is then brought to a boil slowly, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death.]

It had always been difficult to increase the reputation value of monsters, even more so for the group of low-level bandits which had no worth of value. However, that player seemed to have some kind of special feeling for bandits as he had actually gone to earn the reputation for a total of three years!

His efforts had also received rewards, he had actually exchanged and gotten a legendary skill for Berserkers, Demolition! Even in Lin Jie’s previous seven years of life, not one Berserker could grasp the skill.

Currently, the exchange page only had a pile of trash items, so there was only one possibility. That fellow hid the items for himself! Or maybe Lin Jie had to satisfy some condition to be able to buy it?

Lin Jie thought about it for a while, he then bid the bandit boss farewell and took his leave. He left the cave and found a spot without monsters. He then put on the Hermit Helmet. His name instantly changed to: Codename Lone Wolf. All the bandits’ names also turned blood red. He carefully returned stealthily to where the bandit boss was.

Aimed towards the bandit boss, he activated Hunter’s Forward Charge!

The bandit boss, even after evolution was still only level 17, Health Points: 32,000

The Broken Blade slid pass the bandit boss’ neck, and at the same time of dealing over 200 points of damage, a pair of wolf eyes could be vaguely seen on Lin Jie’s blade and his speed increased!

“Kill him!” barked the bandit boss. He took out a shining broad blade attached with rings, jumped high up and slashed towards Lin Jie.

Clang!

-28!

The broad blade landed on Lin Jie’s shoulder, dealing a negligible amount of damage.

‘Wild Charge!’

When Lin Jie’s blade came in contact with the bandit boss’ lower abdomen brutally, Flame Boost and Blade Aura were activated. Army Obliteration was aimed at his heart!

-345!

-302!

-420! (Critical Hit)

The Withered Leaf Sword then pierced straight through the same spot as the Broken Blade, coming in contact with his fragile heart.

Weakness Exploit!

-385!

Tssss!

Fresh blood flew about everywhere!

“Everyone, gather!” The bandit boss’ slashes did not generate damage but his own blood splurged out uncontrollably. He was unable to handle it and thus hurriedly called for help.

Five Sub-Elites and tens of bandits surrounded Lin Jie so thoroughly they were packed like sardines.

Zeng!

Lin Jie’s dual blades split, one left one right, hanging down to the ground.

The bandits rushed forward while screaming in excitement, as though locust preying, the shadows were as though dark clouds.
