Chapter 373: Mystic Skill Book? Sea Riding Skill

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“What!?”

“This is a… skill book?”

Everyone stood up and stared at the book in Lin Jie's hand. This book was formed from the condensation of thousands of droplets of seawater. Every page depicted a different scenery of the sea. The first page showed the harbor of City of Light with a calm, serene sea. Crowds of people could be seen on the port. It was the sea trading team “Sea Team” that Lin Jie had established.

The second page had dark clouds and squalls. There was the sound of thunder coming from the book. Lin Jie could even feel a tension on his palms coming from the book, which was excruciatingly painful.

The third page seemed to be the depths of the endless sea. There was a whirlpool swirling wildly as if a water dragon was running on the sea. A loud sound, similar to that of a bell, reverberated around the room.

Lin Jie's eyes lit up. He did not expect a Mystic Skill Book to be formed. Everybody knew that a Mystic Skill Book could only be learned after a player reached Level 40 and completed the Job-Advancement mission. The harder the mission, the higher the grade of the mystic skill. Each player could only learn one mystic skill in his lifetime.

Lin Jie had already learned [Clomaros' Kill] and had earned the favor of the God of War. There was a small chance of getting Clomaros' Heritage. But, that was something in the far future. Maybe when he reached Level 60? Or Level 80? He was not entirely sure. However, Lin Jie had already made preparations for Clomaros' Heritage. He could not learn another mystic skill.

But now, after the Mermaid Princess absorbed Laney's arm and [Sea Riding skill] was formed, Lin Jie had a solution! Learning a skill was not the only way a player could use it. For example, there were scrolls available. One could use skills through scrolls, but the usage was limited.

This book could be another type of skill scroll. But with unlimited usage! After a player reached Level 40, there would be a new skill column to learn a mystic skill.

However, what if one were a player that sought perfection and insisted on going through the expert-level trials but did not have any suitable mystic skill? This [Sea Riding Skill] formed by the Mermaid Princess, was the best solution. It could fill one's mystic skill column until they found another more suitable mystic skill!

Lin Jie was overjoyed. He checked its stats.

[Mystic Skill Book: Sea Riding Skill] (Dark Gold)

Basic Stats: +200 Mana, +12 Wisdom, +12 Resistance

Number of skills: 5

Skills: Tranquility of the Sea, Water Surge, Water Beast Summon, Lightning Strike, Wrath of Sea

“It's actually a Dark Gold Mystic Skill Book! The game website had already announced that the reward players get during job advancement is a Dark Gold Mystic Skill Book. This book is already the highest grade. There are five whole skills. Oh my god,” exclaimed Wantless. “What a shame, the skills are too mixed.”

Lin Jie smiled. “Mixed? That's true for a Mage since it's best for a Mystic Skill Book to contain the same destructive skills. But the truth is, just as its name suggests, the skills acquired are random. This skill book is the most suitable for me. There are all kinds of skills in it, even a summoning skill.”

“But, there's not much use for you in taking this Mystic Skill Book, right? Isn't it better for you to advance your job and attain the Dark Gold Mystic Skill Book of Berserkers? There would at least be skills for Berserkers in there.” Baili Changcheng reminded. “Don't just think that the magical skills in this Mystic Skill Book can make up for your low magic power. Remember that compared to skills you get as a Berserker, this is much weaker.”

“I know that.” Lin Jie smiled and nodded. He said confidently, “Okay, everybody stand straight. I will transfer the skills in the book to you guys.”

“You can transfer skills?”

“You can only transfer the skills of Mystic Skill Books that their grade is Dark Gold. There's also a limit to it. Normally, the skill of a Dark Gold Mystic Skill Book can only be transferred once. On top of that, a player can only accept a skill once in their lifetime. However, I can transfer skills 20 times. This is the privilege the Mermaid Princess has granted me.” Lin Jie placed his right hand into his skill book. He felt as if he was touching water. He shook his right hand, and droplets of water mist gathered on it, forming a blue book of the sea. “Tranquility of the Sea, transfer!”

Droplets of light blue lights floated from the book like fireflies and entered the bodies of the members of Savage Blade.

[Tranquility of the Sea]: Passive. Increases Resistance by 25 points. When you are attacked while casting a skill, there is a 30% chance of being immune to the attack, and your casting speed will be twice as fast. All aqua attacks will have a 10% chance of triggering aqua entanglement.

“What a strong passive skill. It's the enemy of Bandits,” said Dejected Night in surprise. “A Mage's worst fear is being intercepted in the middle of casting their skill. With this passive skill, it can make up for that weakness. This would be an advantage against a Bandit.”

Lin Jie smiled. The passive skill from the [Sea Riding Skill] was among the top three of all Mystic Skill Books! On top of that, this skill effect was something that everyone needed!

There would be one passive skill in a mystic skill book. The number of active skills in it would be in accordance with the grade of the book. For example, the Giant Wood Control Spell of Cyan Fly and her sisters was of Silver grade. It had one passive skill and two active skills.

Passive skills could be transferred.

“Jie, what else are you hiding? Hurry, take them out,” said Zheng Ziliang while licking his lips. The look of anticipation on his face made everyone laugh.

Lin Jie took out the heart of the Three-Headed Serpent with the Dark Holy Water Source. He said, “Excluding the amount needed to fortify the Blood Tyrant's head and the Tri-Elemental Wand in the future, we have 29 droplets of water left. Everybody take a droplet.”

[Dark Source Water]: Randomly increases 2 to 5 stats by 2 to 60 points each, can only be used once a day.

Dark Holy Water Source was the strongest item in the Dark Shrine. It was also the thing that attracted people to become Believers of the Darkness. Only the Mesosaprobic Shrine had access to an unlimited amount of Dark Holy Water. However, Lin Jie had gotten hold of the source of water and even used them without restriction.

“Fu Sheng, you should save these for yourself. Maybe with a stroke of luck, all five of your stats will increase by 60 points. Continue this for a month, and you'll become a superman.” Bu Yi laughed.

“You can't drink too much Dark Holy Water. This was originally used by the Dark Shrine for the oath. Once you drink more than 2 drops of it, you'll become a Believer of Dark Shrine. It won't be easy traveling around the Guild of Light then.” Lin Jie shook his head. “Also, why would the system allow such a good thing? Unless you are a player of Dark Shrine, the second droplet you drink will only add the lowest possible number of stats and points.”

Bu Yi placed the water into her small mouth and stuck out her tongue. “I see.”

Lin Jie lifted his head and drank the water too.

—”You've consumed the Dark Holy Water. Your Strength increased by 24 points, Agility increased by 10 points, and Endurance increased by 5 points.

Just as everybody was celebrating their increase in stats from the water, sounds of knocking came from the door.

In front of them stood a knight dressed completely in black with the shape-shifting Seven Style Spear. His expression was stiff, and his eyes were covered by his black hair, making it hard for people to read his expression.

It was Eighteen Massacres.

“Eighteen Massacres! How dare you come here? You must want to die,” roared The Heavenly Shield.

Shield Attack!

Lin Jie blocked The Heavenly Shield's attack with one hand and said, “Relax, we are working together now.”

“As partners?” The Heavenly Shield was in shock. Baili Changcheng's eyes grew wide. They could not understand what was going on in Lin Jie's head. “He's the Kingdom of Glory's leader, the dog of the Three Alliances!”

“I know, but he's really cooperating with me now.” Lin Jie added, “Eighteen Massacres, say hi to everybody.”

Eighteen Massacres looked awkward. No matter who it was, it was hard to show any friendly expression when facing over 20 enemies who were gritting their teeth, waiting to shred him to pieces.

Qiu Yuan said coldly, “Can you not put on such an expression like you have a stick up your *ss? Hurry, speak, or I'll send you out with a shadow.”

“Hi everybody, I am Eighteen Massacres…” Eighteen Massacres squeezed out one line under the angry glare of Qiu Yuan.

“Cough cough, let me do it.” Lin Jie felt the need for him to lead the topic. He stood out and said, “Eighteen Massacres will be giving us information on the Three Alliances. Eighteen Massacres, please.”

Eighteen Massacres could feel all the eyes filled with suspicion on him. He nodded and said, “I'll cut to the chase. I am only making a transaction with Lone Wolf. I've already compiled all the basic information on the Three Alliances.

“I'm sure everybody has heard of the news of Baili Xuanyuan's betrayal. However, none of you would be able to imagine the extent of his capabilities. From what I could gather, in addition to the Three Alliances in the City of Light, he had gotten control of City of Elves, Sunshine City, as well as other similar main cities. Furthermore, he had also bought many property rights from NPCs in small cities. If you calculate his total strength… it should be around the same as 7 guilds of the same level as Triumphant Midnight.

“However, his forces have not gathered at all. He's still in the midst of purchasing the shares of different guilds. Baili Xuanyuan is a veteran in the market. Before he gains control over all these guilds, he will not use their power but keep them hidden. By the time you all notice it, he would have finished gathering all his army.

“From what I know, Baili Xuanyuan will be making a name for himself during the upcoming final battle! He had gotten a Hidden Job Token in the past but lost it for some reason. However, he spent tens of millions of dollars to buy another token from a normal player with great luck! In the final battle, he will be working with Baizhan Yusheng and Demon Robe to become the champion.

“I have already arranged other information in a large document and sent them to you all.” Eighteen Massacres let out a deep breath and said, “Lone Wolf, when will you be fulfilling your promise to me?”

Lin Jie grinned. “There's no rush. Pay the bill first.”

Eighteen Massacres scorned. “Hmph, this is peanuts, yet you are still so stingy. Boss, give me the bill!”

Sakura strutted over with her alluring long legs and rushed towards Eighteen Massacres. She smiled. “I won't charge you for the private room. It's a total of 2,400 gold coins. You can use City of Light Central Auction House's credit and cash service. The auction house is collaborating with this shop, so there is a 10% off administration fee.”

Eighteen Massacres took out gold coins, and his hand trembled. His expression was bitter as his mouth formed a word that was on the verge of being cussed out: “F*ck…”
