Chapter 481: It Has Nothing to Do with Me

“Feather Drop equipment!” Bu Yi gasped.

In the beginning, support skills like Feather Drop were not valued by players. However, as they discovered more and more rare and strange areas, with Feather Drop, they would be able to climb up places, easily attain treasure chests, or even kill Bosses. This was also the hit and run method Lin Jie had used as a new player.

At low levels, the drop-rate of Feather Drop equipment was much higher. However, as the game progressed, the drop-rate became lower. Even now, Feather Drop equipment could be sold for thousands of dollars!

“I have a Feather Drop item already. But since this item is rare, I shall distribute it.” Lin Jie remained silent for a long time before he said, “Camel…”

Lost Camel was stunned. He nodded and replied, “Yes?”

“Camel is a Beast King Hunter, so it will be the easiest for him to lure and kill a Boss. Let's give him this Feather Drop item. Aren't you and Childe sneaking into a Phoenix's nest and stealing eggs? With this item, your success rate will be increased by 30%,” explained Lin Jie.

Hunter was the best job in The New Age to use the hit and run tactic to kill a Boss. For a player who used that method, the worst thing would be to lose the aggro of the Boss, which would cause the Boss to return to its original position with full health. But for a Hunter, it was easy for them to hold the aggro with their pet.

Giving the Feather Drop item to Lost Camel was the most accurate decision. In Lin Jie's previous life, Lost Camel had managed to catch the Legendary Phoenix after he had attained a Feather Drop item. Now in this life, Lin Jie gave him the equipment much earlier. Who knew if the history in his previous life could be brought forward in this life?

After the distribution of loot, they entered the Harpies' nest. According to the usual way of the system, there should be one or more ancient-grade Bosses there. However, after entering the map [Wind Lair], they realized that it was empty inside, except for an innocent-looking baby Harpy, which was crying out loud.

[Young Harpy] (Weakened)

Level: 25

Health Points: 1,200

Attack: 290-550

Defense: 350

Special Feature: Wind Rage (After attacking, there is a chance of dealing additional 2 to 4 attacks)

“This is already a weakened monster? Other than its health, its Attack, Defense, and stats are all Boss-level!” exclaimed Zheng Ziliang n shock.

Lin Jie said, “After a Harpy gives birth, it will do its best to find all possible treasures to feed their child. The better the items they eat as a child, the higher their stats. This child must have been well taken care of, with many treasures in its stomach. On top of that, its head is so small, which means it definitely has not digested…”

As he spoke, the Harpy suddenly pounced onto Lin Jie and slashed at him with its claws on his chest. Unfortunately, there was not a single trace of scars left behind, and it dealt no damage. It was as if a kid had stupidly rushed head first towards Broken Blade…

-1,726!

“Woo…” The young Harpy tilted its head and let out a painful wail. A huge object in the shape of a heart appeared from its stomach and burst open, and countless materials dropped…

Lin Jie's eyes widened, and he waved his arms anxiously at the team. “She came running over by herself, it has nothing to do with me!”

Looking at Lin Jie, who was all worried and terrified after being set up, everyone was rendered speechless.

Even Bu Yi, who had sympathized with the little kid after seeing its cute appearance, could not help but say, “Okay, nobody is blaming you.”

The young Harpy was equivalent to a treasure room. Her noble mother had fed her with every treasure in the treasure room. Once she slowly digested them all, she would grow to exceed the Werebear King as a Dark Gold Overlord.

As a matter of fact, in The New Age, every being had its own track in life. For example, Sub-Legendary Bosses have their own adventures and talents. If this young Harpy could have grown up, she would definitely have become a Sub-Legendary Boss!

However, she turned into a tool for people to gain construction materials instead. The young Harpy only dropped a single type of construction material called [Floating Feather]. As suggested by its name, it could give constructions the ability to levitate.

Once the number of floating feathers reached a certain amount, they would be able to allow an entire building to float. Even if there were not enough feathers, they could still reduce the number of basic materials needed for construction.

After searching everything, they received a total of 260 units of Floating Feathers, which all entered Lin Jie's pockets.

“Strange, where did the Boss go?” Lin Jie was suspicious. Although he came here with the goal to collect construction materials, who wouldn't mind running into a few Bosses? On top of that, the drop-rates were really high, and there could be some Bosses with rare items.

Everyone was at a loss of what to do. Just then, a voice message rang in Lin Jie's ear.

It was from Seven Ears.

“Baizhan Yusheng has arrived here to buy a large number of potions, around 20,000 Middle-Grade Continuous-Healing Health Potions and 500 High-Grade Health Potions,” said Seven Ears solemnly.

Lin Jie was shocked. Seven Ears could be described as Lin Jie's confidant in this life. With his personality, he would definitely not sell potions to his enemy, especially at this crucial period of time.

“Baizhan Yusheng provided news as a condition for the trade. I believe that this piece of news would be beneficial to you, so I accepted it,” added Seven Ears.

“News? What news?”

“It's regarding Baili Xuanyuan's reinforcements, which seemed to be an expert player. As for how powerful he is, he refused to reveal it, which could be because he was not sure of it himself.”

Lin Jie raised an eyebrow. “Baili Xuanyuan is hiring expert players? Could it be those two Shadow Kill's Grim Reapers? Or Character Z's uncles? Although people who learned the art of swords in real life have a huge advantage when joining the game, it's not possible for them to immediately become an expert player, right?”

Seven Ears replied, “He's called Hungry Tiger. I've investigated his background, and it's empty. There seems to be no such person in existence.”

Lin Jie thought for a while and nodded. “I'll remember it. Oh yeah, why did they buy so many Health Potions?”

“I've already sent people to follow them. They are all headed to the map [Harpy's Altar].” Seven Ears added, “As for the others, I'm not too sure.”

“Okay, thank you. You've worked hard,” replied Lin Jie.

“It's my job. Okay, I'll be hanging up first. Recently, my potion creation has reached a bottleneck, and it's hard to get a breakthrough. Boss, if you see any rare potion materials, remember to give me a portion.” After finishing, Seven Ears hung up the call.

Baili Changcheng frowned and asked, “Harpy's Altar? I've heard that this map is the same as Harpy's Valley, a place where Harpies live. There are a total of three Harpies outside of the City of Light, and they don't get along with each other. You can even receive missions from the different Harpies to fight against their enemies. By logic, it's already an overkill by using an entire guild's manpower to clear the Harpy's Altar. Why did they prepare so many Health Potions on top of that?”

“It could be related to this kid's elders. Let's go and take a look too…”

Harpy's Altar

This was a quiet altar hidden at the top of a valley, with a statue of a Harpy. According to legends, this Harpy was a Demigod, although it was hard to know if it was true. From what normal players knew, Hero-Level NPCs were the top existences. As for a Demigod, there was only one, and he resided at Atlas Peak.

At the bottom of the mountain, there were only a dozen people. It was far from the large gathering that Lin Jie had expected.

“Are you sure this map can drop Energy Crystals?” Baili Xuanyuan frowned in confusion, his eyes filled with doubt. After hearing about Baili Xuanyuan's mission, the man beside him had waved his arms disdainfully and gotten him to cancel all missions to purchase items in the City of Light Central Auction House. Instead, he had gotten him to buy sufficient Health Potions and brought them to Harpy's Altar.

There were Energy Crystals in this place.

As suggested by its name, an Energy Crystal could provide a large amount of energy. In this situation now, if they were able to attain sufficient amounts of Energy Crystals, they would be able to surround the City of Light entirely in an energy barrier, which could not be destroyed by monsters. If that's the case, the person who protected the city from monsters' attacks would provide the largest contribution. With that, it would be a piece of cake to take the City Leader's position.

Hungry Tiger nodded calmly and said, “Let's go. We'll go and take the Energy Crystals first. Afterward, we'll face Codename Lone Wolf.”

It turned out that the information Seven Ears disclosed to Lin Jie was all part of Hungry Tiger's plan. Of course, exchanging this insignificant piece of information for a large amount of Health Potions was something that was too good to be true. Everyone knew that the potions from the Sky Provisions Shop were definitely top-grade in The New Age. Even the most basic Health Potions were 20% more effective than normal Health Potions of the same grade.

“Take? How?” asked Character Z.

“Just follow me.” Hungry Tiger waved his hand in annoyance and continued forward.

There were many more Harpies on the road than at Harpy's Valley. Hungry Tiger moved around and finally displayed his true abilities. He took out 1,000 Middle-Grade Continuous-Healing Health Potions and drank them all. Instantly, his body expanded by over a dozen times in size. His health bar also became extremely thick, with over 10,000 health points!

Everyone was shocked. What sort of ability was this? How terrifying!

Hungry Tiger smirked. He was a Wooden Demon and enjoyed a 130% recovery effect from potions. The most powerful part was his lineage, which was once an NPC exclusive job in The New Age. However, after the Demon Alchemists were slowly dying, these Spellcasters were able to use potions to fortify their own bodies and unleash powerful combat abilities.

Each bottle of potion increased Hungry Tiger's health limit by 30 points. With the buffs from his race and lineage, the effects were doubled, allowing his health points to be sky high!

However, the bad part about this was that it was very costly. As his level increased, the number of potions required became greater as well. After he reached Level 50, he would have to constantly find high-grade potions. If he were to continue consuming inferior potions, the buffs from his lineage would slowly decrease.

And this… was very expensive.

Yes, consuming 1,000 potions at once would only give a short 10 minutes of effect! When others were leveling up, they would be able to earn enough money for an extravagant meal out. As for this fellow, if he were to train to level up, he might even be reduced to poverty and ruin.

“Tiger King Transformation!”

Hungry Tiger's job was a Druid, which specialized in transformation. Dark yellow fur appeared on his body, and the word “King”[1.王 (Hanyu pinyin: wáng) The markings on the forehead of tigers resemble this Chinese character, which means “king”] appeared on his head. A tiger's growl, which sounded extremely powerful, rang through the entire mountain forest. Tiger King Transformation was a strengthening skill and was much stronger than a normal tiger transformation!

“Oh? You're here so fast?” After transforming, Hungry Tiger did not immediately start to attack the monsters. Instead, he turned his gaze to the jungle with interest and smiled coldly.
