Chapter Five: Alasram

  Golden Opal

  All occupations can use

  Requires level 0, Ornament

  All attributes +1

  Add-on: Feather Fall, you will only have the weight of feathers, allowing for brief floating. Cooldown 10 seconds.

  Lin Jie's eyebrows jumped fiercely, and it was actually the Featherfall equipment! In the Epoch Continent, there were many mysterious equipment that didn't have powerful attributes but had many different special effects. For example, the Featherfall equipment, this thing only had a drop rate before level 10, and the only publicly known drop location was the 4th-level instance, Yaluo's Peak, with an extremely low explosion rate.

  In the past, the price of featherfall equipment was high and never fell. If a new player could get a featherfall equipment before level 10, they could at least match it with the best suit to spend their time leisurely before level 50.

  I didn't expect that the Featherfall Gemstone would be produced here, so the plan to brush against the top of Aroso can be cancelled. In order to get the inheritance of Duanren, we must make full preparations, and the equipment of Featherfall is an extremely important and difficult link.

  And another skill book is something that every master warrior must have.

  Skill Book: Frenzied Charge

  Elemental Strike: Action, Spell Power

  Skill Description: You increase your movement speed by 30% to perform a rapid dash, dealing 70% damage to the first target you collide with and stunning it for 0.5 seconds. When you forcibly cancel the skill, its cooldown is reduced by 2 seconds.

  Occupational restrictions: Warrior, Thief, Paladin

  Charge skills are essential for close combat. It provides a good acceleration skill for the slow-moving plate armor profession, and works even better when used in conjunction with Charge.

  Learned violent dash, Lin Jie swam towards the island in the center of the lake, barely arriving on the island before his health points dropped to zero.

  "Young man, you seem to be in a hurry." The old man with a straw hat, fishing quietly on the desolate island overgrown with dark gray weeds, raised his wrinkled eyes and said faintly, "What brings you here?"

  Lin Jie's eyes rolled, and he found that the person who created this task in his previous life didn't even write down the details of the task. How frustrating! It's a known fact that NPCs in "Epoch" have extremely high intelligence, and every single word and sentence in the questline will affect the outcome.

  When he noticed the old man's fishing rod, he faintly felt that this guy seemed to be hinting at someone - Jiang Ziya. Because his fishing rod had never moved.

  "Fishing." Lin Jie shrugged and sat down beside the old man, looking at the motionless fishing rod, and asked with a smile, "How long have you been fishing?"

  "I forgot, but I got nothing." The old man shook his head, "I made a great effort and still got nothing, maybe I should give up."

  Lin Jie's mind flashed, putting in effort, but getting nothing... He wasn't without thoughts: since he was reborn, he might as well not touch games again and just live a muddled but stable life.

  But thinking of his father's white hair in his previous life, his mother and sister's tightly closed eyes, and the gaze of Baili Changcheng who regarded them as insignificant, Lin Jie found it hard to bear. He wanted to fight, for the sake of his family, to fight for a beautiful and spacious home, to crush Baili Changcheng!

  And then there's that broken sword, for a full 7 years, it hasn't returned to its original appearance...

  "Trying is not just sitting here, you also need to take action and find where the fish are. When you've searched every inch of this lake, even with your bare hands, you can catch fish!" Lin Jie said, waving away the complicated memories in his mind.

  The old man chuckled and handed the fishing rod over to Lin Jie, "You try it."

  "Angler Araso invites you to go fishing."

  Lin Jie's eyes widened, Alas, this person is the Witch King Alas!

  What is a calamity? There isn't an exact definition, but to ordinary people, the undead are calamities! As a researcher of necromancy and dark magic, the witch was ostracized by the mainland's residents and driven to the fringes of the continent.

  While the demonic disaster broke out, players and NPCs died in large numbers. When they were forced to retreat to the Heavenly Peak border to survive, this group of witches who had been excluded by countless people appeared as the main force of this war, blocking the disaster's attack for everyone, and paid a huge price for it.

  Araos, the master of the witch! No wonder, after the old man without a name published the task, he disappeared. No wonder, after that data appeared, someone rose to prominence, it turns out so!

  Lin Jie took over the fishing rod, but found that this fishing rod had no hook! Yes, it was a fishing rod with only fishing line. Lin Jie smiled and cast the fishing rod into the lake, but his mind was thinking of what kind of dignified reason he could use to deceive him if he didn't catch any fish.

  The fishing rod suddenly sank!

  Lin Jie was greatly surprised and quickly lifted the pole. A golden eel was caught and struggled back and forth on the ground.

  Golden Eel: 10th level rare monster, HP 2000.

  Golden Eel is the rarest creature on the continent of Ji Yuan, its preciousness is tens of thousands of times more than that of a treasure chest. All Golden Eels are rare monsters, after being killed they will explode into various rare materials, and even their meat can be made into dishes that increase attributes. In his previous life, the famous guild's MT Mo Xue killed a level 120 Golden Eel and obtained an epic single-handed bone sword, from then on there was no more hatred OT!

  "This is a treasure." Alaso smiled calmly and waited for Lin Jie's move.

  Lin Jie swallowed his saliva, this was a Golden Eel, killing it would definitely yield good stuff, if he could get a golden weapon out of it, he would be like a god in the early stages! However, Alaso remained silent, thinking about an event that happened several years later, Lin Jie felt that his choice might have something to do with that data disk.

  He grasped the golden eel in his hand and threw it into the lake.

  "Angler Araso's affection towards you +100."

  "The Witcher's favorability towards you has increased by 20, your reputation among them has reached neutral."

  Lin Jie felt relieved, and indeed he was right. The witch and ordinary human were in a hostile relationship, killing each other on sight, but after reaching neutral they could at least communicate. And Alaso's favorability might have an impact on future DLCs.

  In "The Lich King", there is a person who shines brightly, that is the Dark Rider's Mo Ye, he seems to have received the blessing of the system, and has been lucky throughout the entire version, even farting can level up, making his strength soar, and also got the inheritance helmet. Now it seems that he has a great relationship with Lich King Arthas.

  "Araxys said, 'I need wraith ribs; if you're willing, you can give them to me.'"

  "Will you accept Araso's request as a angler?"

  Yes!

  The angler was Alaso, not the nameless old man! Lin Jie clenched his fists, compared to the player from his previous life, his own development seemed even more thorough.

  "Your kindness and benevolence towards living beings astonish me. I'll teach you something, perhaps in the future you will also have the same compassion for the dead."

  Ding~

  "Angler Araso teaches you skills: Mastery of the Dead."

  Skill: Dominance of the Deceased

  Spellcasting Ability: Magic Value

  Skill Description: You make a dead spirit unit fight for you for 3 minutes, with only one controlled unit existing at a time. Ordinary spirits have a 50% success rate, elite spirits have a 20% success rate, spirit bosses have a 1% success rate, and lord spirits have a 0.0001% success rate.

  Occupational restrictions: None

  Lin Jie thanked and left, staring at the skill bar in surprise. It seemed that the Demon Clothes from his previous life didn't get any skill rewards? The enslavement-type skills were extremely powerful, and no one except Summoners and Demon Mages could master them.

  Released a golden eel but got a slave-class skill, made a big profit!

  Lin Jie went down to the water and arrived at the other end of the lake, where he refreshed 3 levels of Rotten Skulls. The attack and defense of the Rotten Skulls are moderate, the only troublesome thing is that they come with their own corrosive poisonous fog, as long as you get within 3 yards, you will receive continuous damage and can be stacked.

  Found a lone rotten skull, a long sword swung out a sword wind.

  Sword Energy Slash! -32!

  The rotting skull stumbled over, Lin Jie retreated while fighting, the rotting skull lost its poisonous fog attack power, didn't it decrease by more than half? It was directly chopped into pieces by the sword energy, exploding out a dark green spirit rib bone. This is exactly what the angler needs as a quest item.

  "Spirits, rise!" Lin Jie's fingertips burst forth with a black glow, and the rotting skull stood up, its pupils emitting an evil flame.

  Rotten Skull (Soul Dominance)

  Grade 3

  Health 220

  Attack 11-13

  Defense 8

  Attack method: Poison Fog Attack

  Commanding the undead to attack, with its resistance to monsters, Lin Jie didn't even need to move his position. Sword energy slaughtered one monster after another, and the corpses all over the ground were the medium for him to use his Necromancy, experience points skyrocketed, compared to grinding small monsters to level up, the speed increased by several times.

  In terms of level, Lin Jie wasn't the highest, far inferior to those monster-grinding fanatics, but in terms of overall strength, he was absolutely streets ahead! If he could get his hands on a Broken Blade... Lin Jie suppressed the eagerness in his heart and focused on killing monsters.

  The drop rate of the Ghost Rib is very low, and it takes at least 30 Perfect Potions to learn. Lin Jie estimated that it would take around 500 kills of Rotten Skulls, which would take about 10 hours, by which time his level would have risen to 3.

  Starting from level 3, you can enter various instances. Instances are divided into five levels: simple, normal, difficult, master and expert. The equipment drop rate is higher in instances but the difficulty is also very high, which requires great teamwork. This is also the time period when guild players gain an advantage.

  In 3rd-level copies, the most popular one is probably the Cat Demon's Nest. There is also a very important item inside that Lin Jie must obtain.

  Just as Lin Jie was thinking, a figure appeared before his eyes.
