Reborn: Super God of War

Chapter 177: Kidnapping Of The Wife

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Kidnapping his wife?” said the Bandit Boss in a stern voice. “Brother, we bandits also have rules! If his wife is not beautiful, then what?”

Lin Jie smiled. “The City Leader’s wife is indeed not pretty, but she uses magic perfume, eats dainties of every kind, wears extravagant clothes... Robbing the valuable items that she has is not a loss anyway, right? Moreover, since she is the City Leader’s wife, by kidnapping her, won’t we extort like 80,000 or 100,000 coins from the City Leader? Isn’t that simple enough?”

The Bandit Boss frowned. Although he was very moved by Lin Jie’s suggestion, their levels were still low, and the guards of City of Light were mostly Elite Overlords. The difficulty was quite high!

“How certain are you in succeeding?”

“100%.”

The eyes of the Bandit Boss flashed, and he shouted, “Alright! You can pick 20 people to follow you along, I will arrange for people to assist you near the Qifeng Mountain.”

Lin Jie laughed. “Got it!”

The Bandit Boss would forever be generous with his underlings, the reason was very simple: If the operation succeeded, then he would obtain the richest EXP and equipment rewards, instantly raising his grade. If the operation failed, it was only the deaths of tens of his underlings that could be spawned again.

Looking at Lin Jie leading 20 bandits out, Baili Changcheng could not help but widen his eyes. ‘What was going on? Were they not monsters?’

Bringing 20 bandits to the gate of City of Light, Lin Jie let Baili Changcheng enter the city and buy 20 books of the Stealth Move Skill Book. Stealth Move was the basic skill of the Bandit job, the price was very cheap. Baili Changcheng handed the 20 Stealth Move books into Lin Jie’s hands, confused at what Lin Jie was doing.

“Brothers, learn the skill.” Lin Jie distributed the skill books, and the bandits simultaneously agreed. They learned the skill and used Stealth Move to disappear.

“This is also possible?” said Baili Changcheng, amazed.

Lin Jie nodded his head. “Let them stand by at their positions. Oh right, have you started doing the official missions?”

“Yes, I am a low-level soldier now.”

“Then that’s great,” said Lin Jie, “Go and farm the official missions, farm until you get the [Buy goods for the City Leader’s Mansion]. Then stop, and let me know.”

Baili Changcheng nodded his head, even though he did not understand what Lin Jie’s purpose was.

Lin Jie arranged the bandits, and temporarily having nothing else to do, he also carefreely started to farm the official missions.

The official missions earlier-on were still running errands as the main missions. However, as one’s official position rose, their authority would increase accordingly. For example, the mission [Patrol Management], which Lin Jie had accepted.

The streets of City of Light had become the location for peddlers to sell their goods. Lin Jie’s mission was to capture 10 peddlers that had illegally set up a street stall, then punish them with a fine of more than 10 silver coins, or directly throw them in jail.

That mission was quite simple since originally, players were unable to PK 1 . Thus, even if there were players with short-temper planning to forcibly fight, the patrolling soldiers that were randomly respawned would ruthlessly teach those people a lesson.

Overturning 10 stalls with extremely fast speed, the mission was completed. The reward was 50,000 EXP and 10 Official points.

When he was preparing to accept a second mission, Baili Changcheng sent Lin Jie a message that he had received the mission.

Lin Jie hurriedly went to meet him.

The chances of the [Buying goods for the City Leader’s Mansion] mission appearing was quite low. The mission rewards were very rich, if a hidden event was activated, then the chances of obtaining a huge amount of Official points would also increase.

Baili Changcheng took a look at the mission list and said, “Buy 30 boxes of Chinese cabbage, 30 boxes of pork meat, 30 boxes of carp... There is still a line below that says the other items of the suitable amount. Such a huge amount of food requires at least tens of gold coins!”

Lin Jie laughed and brought Baili Changcheng to an Antiquarian shop. In the back of the Antiquarian shop, on the shelf, there was a purplish-gold colored necklace that looked very beautiful. That necklace was one of the love tokens that the City Leader’s wife had lost. Originally, the City of Light City Leader had used two items to successfully chase his wife, one was a bracelet, the other item was that purplish-gold necklace.

The purplish-gold necklace was sold for 10 gold coins.

After buying the necklace, Lin Jie entered the City Leader’s Mansion. Only when this mission was refreshed would a plot be activated: City Leader’s wife wandering within the City Leader’s Mansion.

Lin Jie passed the necklace to Baili Changcheng’s hands, and he threw him a look. “Just follow the plan and act for everything, I’ll go and wait for you outside of the city first.”

Baili Changcheng agreed, he felt a bit uncomfortable. His understanding of The New Age was not deep, in his impression, the only difference between this game and normal games was only the full body immersion. However now, it looked like... there indeed seemed to be some difference.

The City Leader’s wife was named Evicena. Although her looks were normal, she was relatively infatuating to the City Leader. 20 years ago, she had accidentally lost the love token given by her husband, and since then, she had been searching for it all this time. Whenever she had time, she would walk around the City Leader’s Mansion surroundings.

“Greetings Madam, wife of the esteemed City Leader.” Baili Changcheng respectfully took out the purplish-gold necklace, and said with a smile, “It seems that you’ve lost this necklace?”

The City Leader’s wife excitedly grabbed Baili Changcheng’s hand and took the necklace. She trembled as she said, “That’s great! I thought it just disappeared like this. Thank you, youngster, eh? You are a City of Light soldier, right? You have helped me greatly, I can give you rich rewards...”

Seeing that the City Leader’s wife was ready to give rewards, Baili Changcheng panicked and shouted, “Madam, please wait!”

The City Leader’s wife would respawn and disappear after giving additional rewards.

“I saw an emerald bracelet outside the city, your name also seemed to be carved on it... But I was unable to get close to it, I’m also not sure why.” Baili Changcheng followed the words Lin Jie had taught him to say, and he observed the expression of the City Leader’s wife as he spoke.

The City Leader’s wife said in pleasant surprise, “That is my bracelet! Caesar once spent all his wealth to help me enhance it with magic, so only I can touch it! Quick bring me there!”

“This way please Madam...”

Baili Changcheng was elated, the fish had bitten the bait!

Any woman would become a fool in front of love. The more important she viewed feelings, the more her IQ decreased.

City Leader’s wife followed Baili Changcheng all along out of the city, slowly walking into the wild, gradually moving away from the city guards’ line of sight. She abruptly realized something was amiss and said in doubt, “Soldier, where’s the bracelet?”

“Let’s go!”

Suddenly 20 bandits jumped out from the surrounding and stuffed the wife into a sack.

Lin Jie clapped his hands and said, “Alright, carry her back!”

“Okay!” The many bandit underlings did not think that it would go so smoothly, so they ran towards Qifeng Mountain ecstatically. The City Leader’s wife struggled with all her might in the sack, but there was no effect at all.

Lin Jie told Baili Changcheng, “Later I will make the Bandit Boss write a blackmail letter, you’ll take it and hand it to the City Leader, let him come to pay the ransom personally. There must be a City Leader present within City of Light, or else a new City Leader will be spawned. For the City Leader position, Caesar the Great will place the City Leader’s Seal. Once one touches the City Leader’s Seal, then they can temporarily use the City Leader rights. I will try my best to delay the time the City Leader returns.”

Baili Changcheng was astonished. “The City Leader’s rights? You want me to use the City Leader’s rights? You must think this through! If I transfer the Central Auction House to under my name, then it will be disastrous for you!”

Lin Jie casually said, “Then let me bet this once.”

“You’re carefree.” Baili Changcheng smiled and said, “However, I am still afraid that it might go awry. Fu Sheng, I will be responsible for stalling the City Leader, you use the right. Please, let me stop my uncle from obtaining the city!”

——————————

The sky gradually turned dark, City of Light was still as holy and beautiful under the shine of the round moon. The NPCs dragged their tired bodies, planning to rest. On the contrary, the players were not influenced by day and night, they were still in high spirits with leveling up and the buying and selling of items.

Outside of City of Light, it seemed as if a few more mountains had been added, the scenery in the distance could not be seen in the night. If one walked a few steps, then they would discover—that were not mountains! They were all people!

Baili Xuanyuan had spent a huge amount on buying the City Leader Token; naturally, he had to unleash its largest value. Currently, Kingdom of Glory, Dark-Robed Knights, and Mage Heavens were tightly tied together. Not only so, but there was also a dense crowd of people! Those were all small guilds trying to ride onto their coattails... No, calling them cannon fodder should be more suitable.

“There is still half an hour before the guards change shifts. The players within the city do not know of this operation. Remember, there is only one chance to assault the city! Use those players as shields as much as possible and rush straight into the City Leader’s Mansion!”

“The guards will take off their armor when changing shifts, their battle power will be extremely weak. Push forward all the way and enter the City Leader’s Mansion as fast as possible! The City of Light City Leader is a trash, the strongest defenders are only the Civil Official Kismudan and the Military General Layard. Not only so, but there are near 300 level 60 Elite Defenders in the City Leader’s Mansion. There are only 300 monsters! The type that one would die just by everyone touching it once!”

“Civil Official Kismudan’s skills are all buff and recovery types, don’t need care about it temporarily. Gather all your attention on the Military General Layard! His skill is summoning of soldiers, a total of four types. When his Health Points is above 70%, he will summon low-level Infantry, when his Health Points is above 40%, he will summon Forward Charge Calvary, when his Health Points is critically low, he will summon Dynasty Knights. Finally, he has a very small chance of summoning his disciple, the disciple’s skill is no different from her master.”

“Therefore, directly kill the Military General and soldiers instantly! Then go in and kill the City Leader!”

“Did you hear me?” shouted Baili Xuanyuan loudly.

“Yes!”

The shouting sound was like a sudden clap of thunder, causing the trees and grass to tremble and rustle with sound!

The closer it was to the crucial moment, the more composed Baili Xuanyuan was. He raised his head and took a look at the sky, a Silver Eagle hovered below the round moon, dyeing the dark night to be extremely tranquil.

Small beads of sweat could be seen on his head, revealing his uneasiness.

Screech—

The Silver Eagle let out a clear screech and flew one round in the sky before disappearing.
