“Let’s go!”

Lin Jie was delighted with their response.

He, who suffered bitterness, would be superior to others! Those that did not dare to venture into the unknown did not deserve to be better than the rest. Even though Lin Jie was reborn, he was very dedicated and hardworking to achieve today’s achievements.

Lin Jie rode his Iron-Willed Blood Horse and led the 300 men away!

Feng Yun 21 looked at them and decided to follow as well.

Unexpectedly, Eighteen Massacres messaged him. He had asked Feng Yun to focus on leveling up the Hell Boy, but he had found out that Feng Yun was not at the Dark Shrine.

“I asked you to stay at the shrine and level up the Hell Boy, right? I gave you the chance to get your revenge, but you did not seize the opportunity. Come back now! I need the Hell Boy in five days. It must be Level 40 and above,” demanded Eighteen Massacres.

Feng Yun 21 thought for a moment and closed the chatting tab. He clicked on Eighteen Massacres’ profile and blocked his messages.

‘Chaos In The Sky, I’m sorry that I cannot fight alongside you anymore. You have a bright future, but I don’t. I have a chance now, and I want to give it a try. If I can get a new lease on life, I’ll return the favor.’ Feng Yun talked to himself and chased after the group.

After he had lost his Zerg Queen, Feng Yun 21 had been totally worthless. Even Character Z had started to ignore him. Eighteen Massacres had tricked him into signing the Eternal Sin contract and used his grudge against Lin Jie to sign the unfair contract.

Even if Feng Yun won the Best Of The Best, he would not get any benefits!

Eighteen Massacres was as cunning as Lin Jie. But Lin Jie cared about brotherhood, and thus his friends were willing to fight along with him. However, all Eighteen Massacres saw was benefits.

Beyond the North Gate, it was a large patch of Iced Grass.

The Iron-Willed Blood Horse stepped on the silver leaves, and it made a clear cracking sound.

Iced Grass was a Level 45 map. It had many Bandit monsters, with high Attack and low health points. Their drop-rate was pretty high too. Other than the coins they dropped, sometimes they would drop gems, equipment, and Skill Books. Thus, many Shield Specialists, Paladins, and tanks loved to grind there.

“Nice, I got a gem.” A guy with a big hand picked up the loots and smiled.

His teammates were excited and crowded around.

The supply of gems in the game was low, but the demand was huge. Thus, a gem with normal stats could be sold for a few gold coins!

Those fellows were players that came from a poor family. Usually, they would help out in some workshop and make some money. On other occasions, they would just find a map with good drop-rate and test their luck.

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

The ground suddenly started shaking, and they were shocked by the noise. They looked around and saw an army led by a rider coming in their way. The horse looked gorgeous and obviously not the type that could be bought easily. The player riding it was even more fearsome. His body was illuminating dark gold light, bringing more color to the silver grass patch.

The soldiers looked proud but friendly at the same time. They were the lowest-ranked ones in the Brotherhood. However, they were still considered pros to most players.

“It’s Brotherhood!” Someone recognized the group.

“Brotherhood? The one led by the ruthless Lone Wolf? The man who dominates the City of Light?”

The fellow who was holding the gem interjected, “Shhh! Do not judge.” He was the team leader Just Weekend. “Remember the time we gossiped about the Xuanyuan Alliance? We got scammed and lost three gems!”

The team shivered on the thought of it, and they quickly kept quiet.

They had not come up with a name for their team. Whenever they got paid by guilds, they would be there to help. When they were free, they would roam around these maps with high drop-rates.

When the Xuanyuan Alliance had been at its peak, those fellows had met some of the guild members. They had tried to find a way into the guild to get a stable income, but they had gotten conned instead!

Ever since that event, they had been trying to stay away from major guilds as much as possible.

“Brother, that’s a bit too much.” The rider of the Dark Gold Iron-Willed Blood Horse appeared in front of them smilingly. “In the Xuanyuan Alliance, they are all pros and handsome-looking. It is understandable that they ‘charged’ you for their attention. But we are way more friendly, right?”

They recognized the Lone Wolf Helmet. “Codename Lone Wolf!” Just Weekend shivered, and cold sweat formed on his body. “Leader Lone Wolf, we are just bullsh*ting, don’t take it to heart.” He had heard the bad stories about Lin Jie and did not wish to make him angry. He was wondering whether offering his gems would result in a better outcome.

“Come on, relax! I’m not so mean.” Lin Jie quickly calmed them down after seeing that they were afraid of him. He scratched his nose and thought to himself, ‘Do I have such a bad reputation?’

Lin Jie continued the chit-chat. “You guys are here for the drops, right? How’s your luck?”

Just Weekend heard the question and felt disappointed. After all, they could not escape this fate.

He quickly took out all the gems they had obtained the past few days and passed them to Lin Jie. “Here are all the seven gems we got. It’s not bad luck. We don’t need those things anyway. I believe Leader Lone Wolf could make better use of them!”

His teammates looked downward after hearing this. Those seven gems were their hard work’s rewards! After selling them, they could at least provide better meals for their kids at home for some time.

Now, they had no choice but to give them away! Too bad, they had bad-mouthed others and gotten caught.

Lin Jie signed too. He knew that his position was too high. It was like the federals and villagers in the olden days. Also, he had been acting kind of brutal to make people remember him.

Normally, a game should not cause such fear to people. It was just a virtual world, after all. Even if they scolded the president, nothing would be affected in the real world.

But The New Age was deeply linked with the real world now. People needed to work in the game to provide for their families. The game had become their new reality. They were the very example of this. They did not have any social class in the real world, and thus could not work here in the game. Therefore, when encountering major guilds, they could only suck it up even if they were right.

“Erm...” Lin Jie patted on Just Weekend and traded him 100 gold coins for the gems. “Consider you sold these gems to me. You can just sell to Seven Ears in the Sky Provisions Shop any of your drops. The price will be much higher there. Also, if your friends farm here, they can sell their goods too. If the Xuanyuan Alliance picks on you guys again, inform the Sky Provisions Shop, and our Brotherhood will help you out.”

Lin Jie led his team away after he finished talking.

Soon, the army disappeared from sight.

Just Weekend held the 100 gold coins and stood there for a long time. He slowly asked his team, “That was Codename Lone Wolf just now?”

“Yeah...” His teammates were shocked too.

“He took my gems and gave us 100 gold coins? He said the Sky Provisions Shop would help us out, right?” Just Weekend exclaimed in disbelief, “THAT is the arrogant Lone Wolf!?”

“Maybe...”

“In the past, when the Sky Provisions Shop and Codename Lone Wolf were not connected, the shops were helping people like us. Rumors said that Codename Lone Wolf owns the shop! But it was soon busted as Codename Lone Wolf was said to be a selfish player. It’s not possible for him to help a casual adventurer...” Just Weekend was very touched by Lin Jie’s action.

A teammate asked excitedly, “Leader, do you want to try to ask Seven Ears in the Provisions shop?”

Everyone knew Seven Ears from the Sky Provisions Shop. If Lone Wolf was the arrogant type, then Seven Ears was the kind-hearted type!

Just Weekend nodded and said, “Let’s go! Inform the rest too.”

...

A Berserker approached Lin Jie and asked, “Leader, those are just normal players, right? Are they worth recruiting?”

Lin Jie nodded. “Nope, not a single bit.”

The Berserker continued inquiring, “Then why did you treat them so well? If you need those casual adventurers, all you need to do is to say the word.”

Everyone kept silent and waited for the answer, even Feng Yun was curious.

Lin Jie asked back, “You saw his name?”

“Just Weekend, why?”

“Yeah, Just Weekend. That group of people works tirelessly every single day. We treat weekends as time off, but for them? It’s just another day for them to work for their families.”

Lin Jie paused for a moment and continued, “Is the Xuanyuan Alliance strong? Is our Brotherhood? Yes! We are both strong! Any individual among us is stronger than them! But why are we not helping them instead? Does strong mean to trample on their pride and deprive them of their hard work like what the Xuanyuan Alliance did?”

There was silence.

They did not understand why Lin Jie became so emotional. Their image of their leader was always cold and chill.

Lin Jie did not speak a word, but tears started forming in his eyes.

Those players just now were friends of his father at work! Although Lin Jie did not meet them often, he still recognized them. It was not convenient for him to show his true identity.

Since they were friends at work, chances were that his father had been invited to work in the game as well! If Lin Jie did not provide for his family, his father would be there now working with them and getting bullied at the same time.

Lin Jie felt his heart start racing again.

After Lin Jie calmed down, he apologized for his overreaction. “Sorry.”

...

Soon, they reached their destination!

Level 80 map, [Star Elves’ Tomb]!
