Chapter 390: Feng Yun 21

“Holy Light Winged Armor!”
At the top of Atlas Peak was a layer of air turbulence that was rarely seen. The violent gusts of wind from all directions would cause turbulence and could easily kill a person directly. The good thing was Lin Jie’s luck was not bad as he had just nicely encountered the period of time where there was no wind. Thus, he hurriedly activated Holy Light Winged Armor and glided back.
He landed safely and scolded fiercely. “You nearly killed me, do you know that?”
“It really is you, as expected, what did I say previously? Who would be so knowledgeable to even grasp the information of us Triumphant Midnight so accurately, looks like it is Leader Lone Wolf,” said Inksnow in a sardonic tone as she looked at Lin Jie smilingly with the words “I’ve exposed you” written all over her face. She then smiled and said, “Leader Lone Wolf, isn’t it just spending some points and gold coins if you want to find out information about us? Did you have to pretend to become an all-rounded analyst in front of me? Even if you want to be a smooth talker, this shouldn’t be the way, right?”
Lin Jie: “...”
‘If I say all my judgments were speculated, would you believe me? Looks like she won’t believe me at all now, but who cares what you guess as long as my aim is completed?’
“Looks like our cooperation can succeed. I will arrange for the Savage Blade team members to meet Fox. I can promise and guarantee you that nothing will go wrong with your plan this time.” Lin Jie took a glance at Inksnow and said thoughtfully, “Beauty Inksnow since our cooperation is already completed, shouldn’t you—”
Inksnow raised her eyebrows. “Shouldn’t I what?”
Lin Jie smiled and said, “Shouldn’t you go down already?”
Inksnow sneered. “I’m not in a rush, look at how good the scenery here is, so much that I can’t resist but have a picnic here already.” As she finished, Inksnow really took out two pieces of grilled meat from her backpack and sat down. She waved her hand and said, “Leader Lone Wolf, I will not disturb you, so you can continue exchanging.”
Lin Jie’s lips twitched. ‘Isn’t it obvious that she wants to see what I am exchanging?’ Even if she was unable to check the attributes of the item, she would take a picture of the item Lin Jie had exchanged to study and compare it in detail.
‘What a pity... What I’m exchanging is not an item.’
After conversing with the Demigod, Lin Jie exchanged the 5 Accomplishment Points into Skill Points.
Thinking back how Inksnow had actually used 4 Accomplishment Points to exchange for a one-time use Ambergris, Lin Jie’s heart ached as he saw her waste the points away. He was clearer than anyone on how difficult it was to obtain The New Age Accomplishment Points. Not mentioning others, just being able to exchange for precious Skill Points, Accomplishment Points were already an unbelievable existence!
‘5 Skill Points, which skill should I distributed them to? Is it the Advanced Skill Death Rage, which has reached Level 5 and is extremely difficult to raise the levels anymore, or should I put it into the Clomaros’ Kill skill that I obtained from the God of War?’ Lin Jie started to ponder carefully.
According to grade, it should definitely be distributed to Clomaros’ Kill since it was the skill that the God of War had given, and the growth rate would definitely not be low. Even Level 1 Clomaros’ Kill increased the damage by four times if it was raised to Level 6, wouldn’t it become ten times?
‘According to the temper of the God of War, there will still be a Secret Technique of Clomaros Mission after reaching Level 50. If he sees that I have raised the Clomaros’ Kill to Level 6, he’d most probably be extremely satisfied, right?’
After careful consideration, Lin Jie opened the skill column and added all his Skill Points into Clomaros’ Skill. After all, that skill had been taught by the God of War, increasing its level would be beneficial to becoming closer to the God of War.
—’Your skill [Clomaros’ Kill] has been increased to Level 6, Clomaros’ favorability of you increased by 100 points.’
Level 6 Clomaros’ Kill: Whenever you wave your sword and strike a target’s weak point, you will deal an additional 1,000% damage. The cooldown time is 7 minutes.
‘It actually reduced the cooldown time!’ Lin Jie was elated. The damage of Clomaros’ Kill caused was indeed increased by 100% for every level raised—that, he did not calculate wrongly. However, decreasing 30 seconds of cooldown time for each level raised, that was way too powerful. If Clomaros’ Kill was increased to Level 20, then wouldn’t the cooldown time be only 30 seconds? Lin Jie gulped mouthfuls of saliva and was filled with anticipation for the future.
However, it was not really reliable to count on obtaining that many Accomplishment Points.
Inksnow looked at Lin Jie’s expression, and she asked in surprise, “What did you obtain that made you so happy? At least, show it off in front of such a beauty like me.”
Lin Jie chuckled and said, “Not telling you.”
“...” Inksnow was literally speechless. Then she shrugged and stood at the top of the Atlas Peak. She replied, “Then I won’t bother asking anymore. Oh right, it was you who completed the achievement of being the first one to climb the Atlas Peak, right?”
“Yes, why?”
“Nothing, I was just thinking that since being the first one to climb up Atlas Peak was an achievement, then would being the first one to jump down from here also be an achievement?” Inksnow’s eyes burned with excitement. “Hehe, it will be really exciting to jump down from such a high place.”
Lin Jie glared at her. “I assure you that there is no such achievement, so better not jump. Be careful of falling to your death.”
“How do you know without trying? Don’t worry, I have safety measures in place.” A flash of light could be seen reflected from Inksnow’s fingertip, there was a ring in the shape of a feather worn on her finger. It was the same as Lin Jie’s Feather Drop Gem.
‘So it’s a ring that’s enhanced with Feather Drop.’
She waved her hand, then she smiled and said, “I’ll be on my way, bye.”
“Yo!”
Inksnow cheered out in joy and jumped down with her face full of excitement. She instantly disappeared from Lin Jie’s sight.
‘She really is fixated on getting accomplishments. Besides obtaining a Normal Accomplishment of “You Who Have Seen The Stars,” by dying from falling off such a high place, there are no other rewards.’
Lin Jie shook his head and was planning to leave using Teleportation, but he suddenly noticed that a black dot could be seen under the Atlas Peak. It was as if hundreds of people had suddenly appeared.
No, it was not humans.
Lin Jie stood at the peak of the mountain, so he was naturally unable to have a clearer view. However, he was extremely sure that those standing underneath the Atlas Peak were definitely not humans, at least not players.
“Could it be him...”
...
At the foot of the Atlas Peak.
Zergs with sizes as humongous as cattle had covered the whole ground. It was as if the scenes in sci-fi movies where aliens invaded. They were tightly packed, and there was a total of over 100 of them.
Within the Zergs was a cold-faced Paladin, wearing purple-black colored leather armor. A Paladin wearing leather armor was an unbelievable sight.
The main attributes, which the leather armor enhanced, were the ones most suited for jobs with fast attacks, like Bandits. As for Paladins, who took the path of having high Defense and high recovery with Endurance as their most important goal, equipping leather armor was really weird.
That Paladin was named ‘Feng Yun 21″ and was the fourth on the Rankings Board. He had disclosed his own leveling up videos and become famous. Then, he had brought a guild named Twilight Transmigration into the public’s eyes.
Within the video, Feng Yun was calm with his arms folded. He then waved his right hand, and ten halos appeared underneath his feet simultaneously.
Countless insects crawled out from the ground, each and every one of them were as large as a cattle and had decent attributes. In the blink of an eye, they had torn apart a Level 39 Elite monster. Afterward, the video showed how formidable Feng Yun 21 was as he swept clean all the Elites within the popular leveling up ground [Rotten Forest].
Feng Yun was only 30 years old. He was quite handsome, and his finger would frequently push against the tip of his nose out of habit, so he should be wearing spectacles in real life. In fact, it was indeed so. In real life, Feng Yun was a Creative Marketing Consultant, who would think of strange and unusual but wonderful ideas all the time. Relying on such thinking, he had created a very special route.
His follower was a Zerg Queen: Artherga.
Artherga’s attributes were 0, and it had two skills.
Skill 1: Laying eggs, each egg would randomly hatch one of the three types of Zerg: a Zerg Warrior, Zerg Mage, or Zerg Healer. The number of eggs laid is determined by the upper limit of one’s level.
Skill 2: Absorption of attributes, able to temporarily absorb an attribute of its master and provide enhancement to the subordinates.
The skills that Feng Yun had learned were all Mass Buffs, without exception – Retribution Halo, Holy Halo, Wrath Halo, etc. – all kinds of blessings, markings, and endorsement of divine spells.
He had equipped the leather armor that enhanced only Agility, so all Zergs’ Attack Speed increased by 90% after that Agility was absorbed by Artherga. Although all of these Zergs only had 400 HP and their Attack was extremely weak, able to only inflict 50-120 points of damage, the Zergs had become very powerful with enhancement from all kinds of additional buffs, such as holy markings of “additional 30 points of Holy Damage Dealt with each attack”, Retribution Halo, Wrath Halo, and many more. In addition, their immense numbers made them stronger.
‘According to the news from Chaos In The Sky, Lone Wolf is most likely at the top of the Atlas Peak.’ Feng Yun’s eyes were filled with excitement. ‘Hoho, I can finally fight with Lone Wolf. Let’s see if your blade is sharper or my Zergs are stronger. Am I too impatient? Should I have waited until I raised my level to 50 where I can further increase the number of eggs laid and make a complete plan before coming?
While Feng Yun was talking to himself, a dark figure fell from the sky.
It was not Lin Jie, but the legendary MT that had attempted to obtain an achievement—Inksnow!
‘He’s here! Channel the divine spells!’ Feng Yun could only see a blurry, dark figure, so his pupils constricted. He instantly activated 10 halos, which increased Health Points, Mana bar, health restoration, Defense, Resistance... As long as it was an enhancement skill of Paladins, he had learned them all. After endorsing the holy marks, all of the Zergs were instantly full of vim and vigor. They all pounced towards where Inksnow landed.
Who was Inksnow? After she saw such a large number of Zergs, she did not panic like other girls. Instead, she calmed down and instantly activated Feather Drop to decrease her falling speed.
In the blink of an eye, she had equipped all her Fiery Dragon Set, and before even landing, she was already covered completely in fiery red armor. With her sword and shield in her hands, she gave off a valiant vibe. Then, she instantly locked on to Feng Yun, who was within the Zergs, and charged forward!
Feng Yun was shocked. He did not expect the opponent to react so quickly, but he still enhanced himself with a Divine Shield and gave out an order. At that, hundreds of Zergs instantly squeezed towards Inksnow. Their humongous and sharp mouths were about to devour Inksnow whole! Their tentacles as sharp as blades even slashed towards Inksnow with the power of the holy mark. If all of them hit Inksnow, then even if she survived, she would also be critically hurt.
“A swarm of insects only.” When Inksnow faced the enemies, her face was calm, and her eyes were cold. A fire swirl was gathered on the surface of the Fiery Dragon Shield, and it let out a roar, which sounded like a dragon’s roar. It instantly attracted all the attacks, which landed onto the shield, one after the other.
“Fiery Dragon Taunt!”
It was actually Mass Taunt!
-18! (Blocked)
-19! (Blocked)
...
Damage values that didn’t surpass 20 popped up, while the Zergs were burning in fiery flames. It was obvious that they had been scorched by the effects of the Fiery Dragon Shield.
“Try this skill. Artherga, The Heart of Zerg!” Feng Yun bellowed, and a huge heart was gathered in mid-air. All of the Zergs immediately flew and surrounded the heart, and they started building the body. Similar to transformers, they combined and transformed into a beetle-like monster the size of a giant in an instant!
