Lin Jie stood at the side and watched with keen interest before starting to recall.

In the previous fishing competition, the Phoenix’s Dance by Ghost Eyes had been great in strength and impetus. With his ability, beating up these three sisters seemed to be a task that would only take a few minutes. Lin Jie was more interested in the background of the three sisters.

“It is actually Ghost Eyes! He is the Guild Leader of Hunter’s Guild and one of the top three experts in the Hunters’ Leaderboard!”

“Hmph, what useless leaderboard? Now any nobody is able to make it the so-called leaderboards. Leaderboards are not trustworthy and are simply wasting everyone’s time.”

“Hehe, that’s where you’re wrong, don’t you know that this leaderboard was created by An Xiaoran, that beauty. I heard that it was even officially recognized, but that Brotherhood Codename Lone Wolf is not even ranked the first on the leaderboard.”

Lin Jie twitched his ears as he heard what the players were discussing clearly. He could not help but laugh scornfully in his heart. This woman, An Xiaoran, would forever be restless by using all those eye-catching leaderboards, which seemed justifiable, to gain popularity. In reality, no matter how weak one was, as long as one bribed her with money, then they would be able to gain exposure on the leaderboard, and thus increase one’s so-called fame.

“This woman, it looks like I have to teach her a lesson,” said Lin Jie calmly.

In Lin Jie’s previous life, An Xiaoran had used many underhanded means in the later stages of the game. If anyone provoked her, then she would directly place the person on the “Equipment Leaderboard”. She had even listed out all the data of the equipment, which made people jealous, so naturally, that group of people had been hunted down by desperadoes.

Just as Lin Jie was deep in thought, Ghost Eyes and the three sisters’ battle had already begun.

This battle was extremely important as the registration fee was as high as 100 gold coins, which was a total of 10,000$!

One of the beauties chuckled. “Hehe, Guild Leader Ghost Eyes, I have already heard of your name since a long time ago. The claim of you being the best Assassin Hunter in City of Light is widespread.” She took out a dark-green wooden bow from behind her and gently caressed it as though it was the hand of her lover. Suddenly, her expression turned cold and fearsome, she flicked her finger continuously and three dark green light rays, which were like beads, were shot out fiercely. At the same time, her name was also revealed.

Cyan Fly.

Lin Jie nearly blurted out in shock as his pupils constricted, “Cyan Fly? The other two must be Pink Mosquito and Rainbow Bug.”

These three sisters were well-known as the “Three Pests” and were very famous in the City of Elves as they were from the extremely powerful Casual Adventurer Mercenary Team. They accepted all kinds of missions, but they had a principle: They only dealt with missions targeting males but not females.

Those three women were playing the game just purely to find fun. They had apparently experienced setbacks in their relationships, so they had entered the game, changed their appearances, and assassinated males for pleasure. Also, they would directly kill the men in couples if they saw couples in the wild without any reason and then leave instantly.

One could see from their names that the three women had some morbid psychology.

However, the trio was not at all weak. The reason why they were able to throw their weight about everywhere, as well as the one thing which they relied on, was—Hidden Job! Other than Cyan Fly, Pink Mosquito, and Rainbow Bug had the Hidden Job [Giant Wood Druid]. That was a hidden branch out from Druids, and they were able to control plants, or even summon Tree Demons or Treants against enemies.

Cyan Fly pulled her bow and shot out three green dots—they were not arrows but three seeds! Those seeds were the specialty of the City of Elves, Yue Qin Mu. Its health points were extremely high, and it was already tens of meters tall when in its juvenile stage. It was the best raw material to create wood-living creatures.

Ghost Eyes’ fingers moved, and four arrows were retrieved from his sleeve. That was his Gold quiver [Sleeve Pocket], it and was able to store 20 arrows within his sleeves to reduce the effort needed to pull out the arrow, being able to take the opponent by surprise.

Three arrows fell into his hands, and they were shot after using half a second to aim! The arrows collided with each other! He could actually aim at the arrows flying in the sky so accurately. As expected, Ghost Eyes’ ability was extraordinary!

“OMG, he directly shot down the flying arrows of the enemy!”

“As expected of the best Assassin Hunter in the City of Light. Look, the speed of his arrows did not even slow down in the slightest!”

“This beauty is going to lose.”

Just when everyone thought Ghost Eyes was going to win, a sudden change occurred. The other two Elves, the two sisters Pink Mosquito and Rainbow Bug’s exquisite, white and slender fingers tapped in the air and cyan light rays were infused into Cyan Fly’s arrows, instantly bestowing them energy. It was only then when the three arrows revealed their original form.

Three seeds!

These seeds sprouted and grew. They actually grew into Treants, the height of a person, in the blink of an eye. The Treants held wooden shields and swords, and they charged towards Ghost Eyes with heavy steps.

“Hmph, you dared to open the arena with just these few fragile pieces of wood, you really are audacious!” Ghost Eyes sneered coldly before another fiery-red arrow landed in his hand. That arrow was made of Phosphorus Powder condensed into Fiery Arrow, which could enhance Fire Magic greatly.

Lin Jie’s gleamed. ‘Ghost Eyes is going to use that skill!’

Indeed, Ghost Eyes let go of the longbow’s string and said, “Phoenix’s Dance!”

Screech—

A huge phoenix flew into the sky, and the temperature suddenly became scorching hot, even the air was burned until it was nearly scalding! The three Treants were burnt by the phoenix, and instantly quite a few 600+ damage values popped up from their heads. Moreover, the phoenix even attacked the three sisters!

Pink Mosquito scoffed. “Looks like you do have some skills, but still too weak! Looks like there are only mediocre people in the City of Light. Let me show you what real strength is! Giant Wood Control, Wall Of Reflection!”

The three Treants instantly exploded and converged into a wall made of wood, which was even covered in layers of tree sap. Phoenix’s Dance was reflected the moment it touched the wooden wall!

Ghost Eyes was slightly shocked. He wanted to make a move, but unexpectedly quite the number of seeds had mysteriously appeared on his body and bound him.

[Giant Wood Control•Wood Binding]!

“I’m done for!” Ghost Eyes gritted his teeth as he knew best about the Phoenix’s Dance’s power. Once it was reflected back, he would definitely lose. What he felt sorry for was not that 100 gold coins, but... being defeated in front of everyone, it was shameful!

Boom—

The sea of fire gathered by the Phoenix’s Dance suddenly exploded and split into two, sweeping past the two sides of Ghost Eyes.

In front of him was an extremely sharp longsword, which was carved with the sea, the sky, and the earth! Its surfaced glowed, even air was about to be vaguely cut into two by the sword.

However, this longsword was broken!

Ghost Eyes was astonished. “This is...”

“Ghost, you’ve lost. You should come down,” said Lin Jie calmly as he walked up the arena and pulled out his Broken Blade.

Ghost Eyes felt grateful that Lone Wolf had come and helped him. Although he still lost, he was not killed on the spot. Thus, he would not lose his face.

“Yo, who do I see, so it’s the leader of Brotherhood, Codename Lone Wolf?” A shred of anger flashed in her eyes as Cyan Fly looked at Lin Jie, saving Ghost Eyes. However, she still kept her tender laugh and gentle voice though the words she said were extremely harsh, “I’m curious what does leader Lone Wolf want to do by breaking the rules?”

Lin Jie laughed out loud, took out his Leader Token, and shouted righteously, “Break the rules? Are the three of you idiots who don’t even read the rules before coming to the City of Light? This is the town area that only allows players to set up stalls for transactions, find team members, and talk love. How is this area a place for you to set the arena? One would need to pay a fine of 10 times the registration fee for placing the arena in the town area. If you are unwilling to pay, then you will be imprisoned for one day!”

What Lin Jie said, stunned everyone.

Indeed, according to the rules and regulations of the city by the system, it was not allowed to place the arena in the town area. However, as long as the players didn’t overdo it with the battles, it was not as if the NPCs would really be deployed to capture the players. Unfortunately for them, Lin Jie had the Leader Token. If he really reported them to the Holy Church’s patrolling guards, then they would really be arrested.

“You... Who are you under?” Cyan Fly was furious.

Lin Jie said expressionlessly, “City of Light Patrolling Platoon. Hurry up, either you pay the fine or be imprisoned, choose!”

“Sis Cyan...” Pink Mosquito blocked Cyan Fly, who was about to fly into a rage, then smiled and said, “Leader Lone Wolf really has the means. I have long heard that the Brotherhood’s leader held a high position, so he would not receive punishment even if he killed people in the City of Light. Now, it looks like the rumors are real, I see that those of high positions shield each other.”

Lin Jie grinned widely. “You can go and report me if you are unconvinced. I’m also not an official that is born and bred in the City of Light, just an intern, you get it, don’t you?”

Pink Mosquito was in a state of embarrassment and did not know how to reply at that moment. After a long while, she asked, “I wonder if Leader Lone Wolf is willing to play a game with me.”

“Oh?” Lin Jie looked intrigued as he nodded. “Tell me.”

“The first round of the final battle is about to begin, how about we warm up here by fighting a battle, you and me. The person who loses will not appear in the final battle, how does that sound?” said Pink Mosquito as she smiled.

“Hahaha, so that was what you were planning. Although the three of you are unable to threaten my chances of taking the championship, since you have suggested such a request, and I just nicely have some interest in playing around, I’ll just accept it reluctantly. Let me guess, is it Baili Xuanyuan who sent you here? That guy had been in the City of Elves for so long, haha, and he had actually only recruited such mob-like people? Looks like he led a miserable life here.” Lin Jie pulled out his Broken Blade, casually held it on his shoulder, and sneered. “However, with just these conditions, it’s too boring. Let’s add to the bet. If you win, then not only would I not join the competition, I would also give the three of you 1,000 gold coins each. If I win, then the three of you will obediently do three days of pole dancing here at this square, how about that?”

When Lin Jie heard the trio’s demand, he immediately understood their aim.

Firstly, it was to probe Lin Jie’s ability. Secondly, to grab the chance and make Lin Jie withdraw from the final battle.

Naturally, Lin Jie would not let them have their way. Thus, when he agreed, he had conveniently included some humiliating conditions to the bet and forced them to battle. Lin Jie also wanted to see what chance encounter Baili Xuanyuan had actually found and recruited people that made him dare to say such brave words of being able to obtain the first place in the final battle.

“Lone Wolf, you’re looking for death!” As expected, Cyan Fly could not take it and shouted loudly, “Attack!”

“Hmph, you dare to come and clamor just after learning some cheap and weak Silver skills.” Lin Jie’s eyes let out a glimmer of light as if devouring people, and then he pounced towards them like a ferocious tiger!
