“Human from the alternate realms, I will only wait here for 10 minutes, do hurry,” said Lin Jie shakily, and his hands fell loosely as though he had entered Standby Mode.

Yan Yue glanced at her mission panel, but no mission notice had appeared. However, her attributes had increased! Normally, missions that dished out rewards beforehand were of an extremely high level.

“Could it be a hidden mission?” Yan Yue was excited. In actual fact, almost all players looked forward to performing hidden missions as it was rumored that those powerful beings had completed those missions to reach their status.

Given only 10 minutes, Yan Yue dashed back to her team. The team activities in Never Setting Sun were pretty average as they were relatively more peaceful as compared to Sunshine City. Their training in the wild was primarily made up of team-based monster slayings, as compared to the City of Light, where everyone was an expert in individual training, and they were not able to level up as quickly. However, they were skilled in wilderness PK.

“What? Hidden Mission? Yan Yue, are you serious?”

“Isn’t this map famous for being purely a training ground without any NPC?”

Yan Yue spoke solemnly. “I promise it’s real, he is a fallen king and wants to slay the City of Light’s leader! Think about it, after accepting the mission and killing the City Leader, how well would the Xuanyuan Alliance reward us? We would be leading an easy life afterward!”

Someone said excitedly, “It involves the city leader? Seems like it’s really a hidden mission! And it must not be a Guild of Light’s hidden mission, that’s why there was no mission notice.”

At this moment, Yan Yue took out the most believable piece of evidence—Attributes Panel.

“Oh my God, 30 points of Wisdom and 300 in Defense! Even if we just accept the hidden mission and not complete it, we would be earning!” Instantly, everyone was attracted by the rewards, and Yan Yue led them and ran towards Lin Jie.

The Mungo Ogre King, which was actually Lin Jie, waved at them and boosted their attributes by 30 points using Munjo Blessings while providing them with 1 Free Stat Point! As these people eyed their attributes points increasing, they were ecstatic, and someone asked, “When are we going to assassinate the City of Light’s leader?”

“This is the map.” Lin Jie took out the Enchantment map that he had prepared beforehand, Qifeng Mountain was vaguely indicated on it, and he said, “However, you guys are too weak. I need more humans from the alternate realms!”

“Who the heck is willing to share a hidden mission?”

“I know, right!?”

Someone whispered quietly, “Brothers, how much are 30 Attribute Points worth?”

After that, the same idea flashed in the group’s minds.

“Oh?” Yan Yue understood him immediately, “You want to sell the mission?”

“That’s right! Since it was a hidden mission, as long as we keep the mission content a secret and just sell the Attribute Points, we can earn a great deal!” That person laughed softly and licked his lips when he found a way to profit. “Alright, alright! We will set it at 10 gold coins… no, 30 gold coins!”

And from that, their business model surrounding the Munjo Ogre King had officially begun! Yan Yue and the team began contacting the richer players they knew and revealed to them a method to increase their Attribute Points. However, they would need 20 gold coins as material fee and another 10 gold coins as commission.

With 20 gold coins of material fee and 10 gold coins of commission, the cost became pretty affordable for the players. Instantly, they completed a couple of deals and received nearly 200 gold coins. Since they started the game, they had never earned such easy money before! However, they soon realized that they couldn’t sell anymore.

“Hmph, scammer!” The players that were being pitched at scoffed.

“What’s going on?” Yan Yue was confused at the situation, and after digging around, she cursed, “F*ck, someone is actually selling it at 20 gold coins! Damned, these guys are cunning!”

That’s right, some of the players realized the catch and began taking over the business. Hence, Yan Yue and her team discussed and dropped the price to 15 gold coins! The price war continued on, and the number of players that purchased Attribute Points increased as well…

Lin Jie was busy as well as he would not let them gain the Attribute Points for free. Thus, he would reveal the mission content to everyone that came to accept the mission and remind them to ambush at Qifeng Mountain. In less than two hours, nearly 1,000 people came forth and received the Attribute Points boost.

All these motions attracted the attention of the important figures, such as Thousand Tomb Murder, the strongest Berserker in Never Setting Sun, as well as the supreme commander of the elite team. Even Yan Yue, the team leader, had to obey his commands. In several other popular games, that name was famous as well.

“Humans from the alternate realms, this is the enchantment map. Tonight, you must head to Qifeng Mountain.” Lin Jie said in a low and muffled voice, “If you succeed in killing the City Leader, you will receive the Munjo Bloodline!”

Thousand Tomb Murder nodded, and surprise fleeted through his eyes. Bloodlines were the hardest reward to obtain. What was a bloodline? It was a character’s innate abilities and growth stats! Taking the Munjo bloodline that Lin Jie had, he would have a 0.2 strength growth, which increased his attacks by 15%.

In The New Age, players that had received the Bloodline Heritage were extremely rare. With a prestigious bloodline, they were ahead of the others in the competition!

Thousand Tomb Murder began analyzing the map in great detail. The map was sketched very roughly, almost equivalent to being a drawing by a three-year-old. And this coincided with the style of the low-intelligence Munjo Ogres! If this NPC had given them a detailed map, Thousand Tomb Murder would be suspicious.

The New Age’s wideness had been embedded into the hearts of players. He had to be cautious considering how chaotic the City of Light currently was, there was a possibility of players hiring NPCs to sabotage them.

However, all these were within Lin Jie’s calculations. After being reborn, Lin Jie wouldn’t say that he was as cunning as those sly old foxes, but he had no problem in scamming the newbies.

“1,000 people are sufficient, tonight, I hope that you will be able to complete my task!” Lin Jie’s hands fell loosely when his body shook abruptly. “Those damned humans are still trying to catch me? Munjo Reclusion!”

Whoosh—

Lin Jie vanished.

Thousand Tomb Murder was stunned, but then he ordered the Hunters to activate Skill Search as flash bombs were projected in all directions. However, they failed to locate the NPC. He placed his worry down and said, “Players will not be able to have skills such as instant teleportation, we can trust this NPC.”

“Leader, are we going to kill the city leader?” asked Yan Yue.

“Of course! Let’s go! It is such a rare chance to assassinate the City of Light’s leader. He is the key to the city siege. Once he is killed, the power will be in our hands.”

“What about Leader Scorching Sun?”

Thousand Tomb Murder narrowed his eyes and questioned, “How many leaders do you have?”

…

Three hours later, at the edge of the Loren Desert, a huddled figure appeared. It was the NPC Lin Jie that had activated ‘Instant Teleportation’.

Thousand Tomb Murder had been unable to locate him because Lin Jie had gone offline—it was not due to the Instant Teleportation.

Thousand Tomb Murder had considered the fact that players could have hired NPC, however, he had not expected players to play the role of an NPC.

“12:00 a.m., tonight, at Qifeng Mountain, hehehe…” Lin Jie laughed creepily as he changed and ventured towards Qifeng Mountain.

The Bandits were not faring well as their levels were low, and there was a huge number of them. The Bandits that had robbed the city with Lin Jie had transformed into normal monsters as well.

What’s more exasperating was that those Bandits had hidden some of the treasures. Although they were not worth much, it was still about 10 gold coins. This amount was huge for normal players. Hence, within the next 15 days, Qifeng Mountain was swarmed by countless players that raided the items that exploded out. This continued on till all the items had been found, and the respawn rate resumed back to normal.

Hence, when Lin Jie arrived at Qifeng Mountain, all the Bandits were ecstatic. They expressed their hatred towards the players and their yearning for strength. They hoped to raid the City of Light again.

“I have arranged a job for you guys! The City Leader’s wife dug out a rare gem during her trip, and it’s rumored to be the City of Elves’ princess’ favorite—Emerald Forest Gem. It’s worth tons. However, she does not know of the gem’s true worth, if you guys can kidnap her…” Lin Jie discussed with the Bandits and planned to kidnap the City Leader’s wife.

“Emerald Forest? That gem is the treasure of the City of Elves and is capable of strengthening the body. If we can get it, we will be enhanced into Elites, and being a Boss will no longer be just a dream! We are doing it!” The leader waved his half-rusted kitchen knife around and growled, “We are going to get his wife! We are going to get the Emerald Forest Gem.”

“Leader, what are we going to do about the wife?”

“Nonsense, of course, we are going to let her go! Where would we have extra food to feed her? Furthermore, with such great luck, she might get other treasures in the future, hehehe…”

Lin Jie heard the Bandit’s leader boast and saw through its IQ level immediately. Hence, he took over control and said, “This is a Middle-Grade Stealth Potion, you guys will act like this later on…” After telling them the action plan, he reminded them again, “Remember, lock the woman up after kidnapping her. Whoever lets her go will get it from me!”

“But, the food…” The Bandits’ Boss was perplexed.

“I will give you ten carts worth of dry goods and a roasted lamb.”

“Deal! Whatever you say!”
