Reborn: Super God of War-Chapter 106: Hire

“Sell ourselves off?” One of them was shocked.

“What? Sell ourselves off? This guy must be nuts...” Old Five swore and was about to say something else but was stopped by the others.

To normal players, who they were working for was not important, what was important was the profits!

Shadow thought for a while and said, “What price can you give us five brothers? You know, although our stats are not very strong, our cooperation with each other...”

“The one negotiating conditions should be me,” said Lin Jie calmly, “If I remember correctly, these two items should be in my hands, right? Or do you think that the five of you are worth these two daggers?”

That’s right, Lin Jie was the one in control of the negotiation.

The Five Shadow Kings, no matter how renown they were, it was only in the future! Their current selves could only make a small reputation for themselves by cooperating with each other. The salary Angel Descent gave them was only $9,000 per month! To professional players that could easily reach a few tens of thousands, that price was extremely low.

Selling themselves, led Shadow to subconsciously think that Lin Jie wanted to recruit him.

Since it was recruiting, he had to have some kind of sincerity, right? Such as giving him equipment sets or something.

“There are many lucky players in the game, such as the guy who had gotten this hidden set,” Lin Jie laughed sarcastically and said, “But there are also many people who rely on experience and hard work to become famous.”

Shadow took a deep breath as he understood what Lin Jie meant in his words.

“The five of you, from today onwards go to Battlefield. Raise your levels to 15, and then you can come to find me to take back these two daggers. Also, I will give you guys a considerable price.”

Shadow’s tone was filled with anger, “Battlefield, don’t you know how many times one needs to die in just one battlefield? You drop one level and an item every time. Even top experts can only earn honor points, what logic is it to rely on Battlefield to level up?”

Lin Jie’s tone became colder. “That is your business. If you don’t agree, I will hang up now.”

Shadow’s breathing became even heavier, as though a raging bull! Leveling up at the battlefield, it was only five words, but it was unimaginable!

However, those two daggers were at least worth 100,000! That’s right, it was not exaggerated at all, a Gold hidden set, and it’s even two weapons! That pair of daggers could definitely be used until level 40! It could even be considered divine equipment now!

However, the death punishment in battlefields was too severe. Those who could reap benefits at that kind of place were all god-like figures.

They were existences that he could only look up to.

“Three, two...”

“I agree!”

Lin Jie smiled slightly. “The contract has already been sent to you, take a look at it then sign it.”

Players could establish a contract just like the contracts in real life. However, it was more mandatory. When signing the contract, the daggers in Lin Jie’s bag were enveloped in rainbow light. As long as the Five Shadow Kings reached the condition, the daggers would automatically be transferred into their hands.

Five Shadow Kings, five Bandits with perfect cooperation!

In Lin Jie’s precious life, the Five Shadow Kings had represented China to participate in a worldwide competition. They had relied on a pure close combat physical damage team and overcome all the difficulties in the way, directly putting on the crown of victory — the world’s first place!

Undoubtedly, the daggers Lin Jie had were very valuable. However, as for a long term investment, it was totally no loss in it. Worst comes to worst, training them to go for competitions was not bad either.

Putting down his communication device, Lin Jie gradually came to the depths of the altar.

The clod floating strangely in the air, the strong wind willfully blowing tyrannically, yet up in the sky fire rain was coming down, extinguished when landing on the cold ice ground... Everything seemed weird as if the nature of the elements had been completely changed, becoming another thing altogether.

Amongst the elements, there was a figure standing there silently.

He exposed his upper body, the longsword in his right hand dangled below his body, absorbing the energy from the elements.

He was one of the Four Sword Saints, Element Sword Saint Grimm.

“Lord Grimm,” shouted Lin Jie. Waves were produced in the air, as though a few stones were thrown into a calm water surface, and ripples were spread slowly.

Shoosh!

Four elements condensed together, transforming into a human form respectively!

Fury of Fire!

Bloodthirst of Ice!

Arrogance of Earth!

Cruelty of Wind!

Those were Grimm’s split personalities, they were four Elites! If one wanted to reach the Element Sword Saint, they needed to kill all four elites first!

“Intruder, who allowed you to stand before me?” shouted the fire figure. The tip of its longsword instantly turned into fire rain, smashing down towards Lin Jie. 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

-124!

Formidable damage popped up from Lin Jie’s head. He rolled on the spot and left the fire rain’s radius.

The Elemental Sword Saint’s clones did not have strong stats, but they enjoyed the [Master of Elements] skill from the Elemental Sword Saint. It could ignore 70% magic defense and element resistance. The defense Lin Jie took pride in was far from enough to protect himself!

An azure blue figure appeared behind him and its ice sword pierced towards Lin Jie’s back without a sound. Lin Jie realized suddenly, and he instinctively used Rebel’s Fight, and then he took this opportunity to retreat quickly, dodging the attack.

The thick earth figure roared loudly, “I will crush you, little insect.” Without warning, it sprung up from below the ground and punched Lin Jie into the air.

“I will squeeze out your fresh blood drop by drop...” The fierce wind figure fell from the sky, and one could only see cuts were slid open on the surface of Lin Jie’s skin one by one.

Lin Jie’s whole body went limp, fresh blood dyed his body red!

Bang!

Lin Jie fell to the ground heavily. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

The four element figures stood around Lin Jie, raising their longswords coldly.

“Damn it...” Lin Jie gritted his teeth. These element clones’ strengths were much stronger than the Water Overlord!

The four element clones each had 20,000 Health Points and were... immune to physical attack! The only attack that could deal damage to them was only elemental attacks which restricted the respective element.

“Army Obliteration!”

Lin Jie attacked vigorously. He activated Flame Boost, and his Broken Blade was as if long spears rampaging around, slashing about ferociously!

Attack resisted!

Attack resisted!

Only the ice figure moved back a few steps, and it’s health points only decreased by 256 points! Army Obliteration’s physical damage was directly annulled.

Lin Jie’s Health Bar was already half-empty. If he were attacked by all four elements again, he would most likely be killed instantly!

A layer of frost covered the Dark Slaughter Longsword and Broken Blade, cold ice gradually condensed and turned the two longswords into huge icicles. They intersected and the icicles collided with each other! The four elements were instantly frozen on the spot.

Ice Soul Slash!

Control skills such as Outraged Roar were useless against elements, so Lin Jie’s only controlling mean would be Ice Soul Slash!

Seeing that the four elements were frozen, Lin Jie fled at full speed, rushing out of the range at which the Sword Saint covered.

Letting Lin Jie face four Elemental Sword Saint’s clones alone was really kind of asking him to do the impossible.... Each specialized field had its own masters, and just nice that was Lin Jie’s weak spot.

Naturally, when dealing with elemental-type living creatures, one would need to find Elemental Mages... Lin Jie needed one Mage for each of the four elements – wind, earth, fire and ice – and only then could he have a possibility of succeeding. Also, Lin Jie would need to tank the monsters, so he still needs a Priest...

Lin Jie thought for a while then opened the Brotherhood page.

As the founder of the organization, he hadn’t released a mission yet.

[Mission Name]: Killing the Four Elements!

Mission difficulty: ★★★★☆

[Mission Requirement]: Mages of Four Elements, Priest, has at least a gold weapon.

[Commision]: 25 silver coins per person

[Do you wish to add tips or Brotherhood points?]: No

After releasing the mission, Lin Jie wore his helmet, waiting for players to accept. The mission with a total commission of over one gold coin was immediately raised to the top, and in an instant, Lin Jie’s communication device rang vigorously.

Codename Stephen Chow, codename Heaven’s Wrath... Quite some people sent the appearance of their gold weapons since things such as attributes were too secretive.

That was the efficiency of Brotherhood!

Lin Jie also noticed a message.

Codename Thousand Miles: Hello employer, for your mission, I alone am competent enough. All of my equipment is Gold-grade, and I know all four elemental skills. However, I require my commission to be paid in Brotherhood points, just worth one gold coin is enough. If you agree, you can reply to me.

“Codename Thousand Miles?” Lin Jie thought for a moment. Apparently, there was no such person in his previous life.

‘His tone is so arrogant, who is that person?’ He could not help but want to meet him.

Lin Jie tapped to open the message and sent, “You are hired.”

“You have enough Brotherhood points?” Codename Thousand Miles quickly replied to the message. It was obvious that he desired Brotherhood points very much.

Within Brotherhood, not only the mercenaries had the point system, but the employer also had it! For every transaction of a mission, 1% of the transaction amount would convert into the equivalent Brotherhood points. That portion of Brotherhood points could be used in the next mission as tips to attract even more experts to work for oneself.

Worth one gold coin of Brotherhood points represented that the employer’s transaction amount had reached 100 gold coins!

“Don’t worry, it’s enough.”

“Alright, I’ll immediately go there now.” Codename Thousand Miles said excitedly, “Oh right, employer, if you have any missions in the future, you can also find me again, I will give you a 10% discount. After hiring me continuously for 10 times, you can even hire me for a mission worth under 20 silver coins for free...”

Lin Jie looked at this advertisement filled with “Brotherhood mode” and could not help but smile.

“Bu Yi, be careful, the aggro has shifted!” shouted Water.

Netherblue team had encountered the Headless Knight Dosso and had already failed thrice, being wiped out once! Every time they failed due to the chaotic aggro!

Every 15% decrease in the Headless Knight’s Health Points would randomly rearrange the distribution of aggro value, and accompanied by its 100% Critical Hit’s Forward Charge skill, besides the two Warriors, Water and Netherblue, Bu Yi and Qiu Yuan could not take the hit at all.

The previous few times they were extremely lucky that the Headless Knight’s target that it charged towards were between Netherblue and Water. But at the last time, seeing that its Health Points decreased to 10%, it actually charged towards the Ascetic Priest Bu Yi!

A shred of despair passed over Water’s eyes. ‘It’s over, we’re going to be wiped out again!’

“Big sis, help me!” Bu Yi’s pretty face was now a straight face, she did not have her usual soft temperament. A chain was formed in her hands, and locked on tightly to Netherblue’s body, with a drag, she pulled Netherblue to in front of her!

-458!

Netherblue was hit by the long spear of the Headless Knight, but the expression in her eyes was that of delight!

Ascetic Priests’ exclusive skill, Shining Chain! It could pull oneself next to one’s teammate, or pull an enemy to oneself and bind the enemy up. It was one of the few Ascetic Priest skills that allowed one to perish together with another!

“Hee-hee, Big Sis, you are not angry, right?”

“You’ve done well.”

The last Forward Charge crisis had passed! Everyone was in high spirits, and their attacks landed on the armor of the Headless Knight—a Rare Elite was about to die!

“Well done...”

A peal of cold laughter resounded, and Water’s chest suddenly exploded!

A spear had stabbed through Water, but the power of the speartip which had blood on it did not slow down and pierced towards Netherblue!
