Super God of War Chapter 201 - Baili Xuanyuan's Jailbreak

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

To avoid being caught by Baizhan Yusheng who might still be outside the cave's entrance, Lin Jie tore the returning scroll within the cave and returned to City of Light from his spot. When he entered the town, he saw numerous guards patrolling the streets with stern expressions on their faces.

Lin Jie pulled aside one guard and asked, "What happened?"

The guard was about to flare up at Lin Jie when he saw Lin Jie's Viscount status and Captain's title. He immediately bowed down and replied respectfully, "My Lord, the criminal Baili Xuanyuan escaped prison. We are in the midst of arresting him."

Lin Jie was shocked. "Jailbreak?"

"Ye… Yes," As if feeling embarrassed, the guard hurriedly took leave after answering Lin Jie's question.

Lin Jie felt rather dumbfounded. 'This fellow's quite something to be able to escape from the City of Light's jail!'

Thinking back, Lin Jie felt it was very possible that Baili Xuanyuan might be at City of Elves since he saw Baizhan Yusheng there! After all, City of Elves was one of the few regions that was not being manned by the Holy Church. It was a wise choice to escape the NPCs by staying there.

It was a pity that he could not use the City Leader's Seal, or he could just command the Military General to summon his disciple and bring back Baili Xuanyuan… that would be the most effective way of arresting him.

Well, but this was something that Lin Jie could only fantasize about…

Returning to the Provisions Shop, Lin Jie was greeted by a smiling Bella. It seemed like she had finally gotten over the past negative episode.

"Where's Seven Ears?" asked Lin Jie.

"He?" Bella pointed to the shop's second level with an exasperated smile. "He's still not done with that yet."

Realization dawned upon Lin Jie. Sever Ears was still competing with Potion Maniac! He checked the shop's inventory using his shop owner's rights, and was shocked beyond words!

[Middle-Grade Natural Recovery Potion]: 3,000 sets!

They had already created a whopping 3,000 sets! Lin Jie hurriedly checked the shop's reserve funds—indeed, the two had spent it all!

"Give them the profits we make from our transactions if they require them. If they still need more materials and money, get it from the Auction House," ordered Lin Jie as he made the necessary arrangements. By the rate things were progressing, it was likely that they would be able to accumulate 10,000 sets of these potions when the second Main Plot dungeons were launched!

This was the power of positive competition!

Lin Jie checked the players' average Stats now. With the launch of the War of Light dungeon-group, EXP-rich dungeons like the [Light Hatchery] were being played over and over by players. In fact, some players' teams offered the services of helping players to farm EXP for them by playing in the dungeons together. As such, players were leveling up at super-fast speeds!

At the rate things were progressing, the second Main Plot dungeons would be launched anytime!

However, now, Lin Jie's most urgent task was to locate the Moratti Shrine. This sub-shrine of the Dark Shrine was a whole treasure trove by itself! If he could get any useful items from this place, it would be a great help when he led his teams to explore the new Main Plot dungeons.

Only two people were allowed to go into the Moratti Shrine with him. Lin Jie thought for a while and decided to ask Bu Yi and Qiu Yuan to come along. After all, Bu Yi was a Priest and a pretty lady Priest with great skills at that. She was like a precious, rare gem in the game, just like how giant pandas were like to China!

As for Qiu Yuan, she had declared that she was determined to train up as a suave melee-type Dark Priest after being "tortured" by Wine God Elder—this was something which nobody was able to comprehend. In any case, the Moratti Shrine would most probably drop Dark Magic-related items or equipment. It would be great if Qiu Yuan managed to get a Dark Magic-type skill from this trip and boost her Crowd Control abilities. This would nicely complement the shortcomings faced by Lin Jie's team in this area.

"Bu Yi, are you busy? Do you mind helping me to complete a mission?" asked Lin Jie.

In fact, it would be more suitable to say that Lin Jie was just notifying her. Since from Lin Jie's previous life to present, this girl had never once rejected Lin Jie's requests.

"Er… when? It may not be very convenient for me to help you with the mission these few days," replied Bu Yi in a hesitant voice. Lin Jie was rather surprised at this but did not pursue further out of courtesy.

After arranging a fixed time to complete the mission together, Lin Jie dialed Qiu Yuan's number.

"Mission? I have no time!" Qiu Yuan's answer was direct and straight to the point.

"Mister Fu Sheng, I say, please be more considerate to students like us. Tomorrow is our universities' registration date, and after that will be the compulsory military training 1 . With my looks, I most probably will have to think of all ways possible to avoid falling into the clutches of those lecherous drillmasters and seniors, I will be damn busy okay…"

Lin Jie's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. 'Oh, god!' He had completely forgotten that his university's registration date was the next day too!

"Oh heck, I am ending this conversation now, why didn't you inform me of the university registration date earlier on?" Lin Jie prepared to go offline as he removed his gaming helmet.

"Oye, I had already sent you several messages to remind you before this! But you were the one who was uncontactable because you were at some mission map or what. What kind of attitude are you showing me now… Oye, OYE!"

Qiu Yuan took off her own gaming helmet in her pink-colored theme room. She crumpled up the two Haagen-Dazs coupons which she held in her hands all the while and threw them onto the ground angrily.

Yet after a few minutes, she picked up the coupons again and smoothed them out carefully…

Removing his helmet, Lin Jie felt a little dizzy as he returned to the real world. After all, he was a gaming lunatic who could bear staying online for tens of hours without resting. He could still do this since he was young and had the energy to commit! In any case, his body was also stronger than normal people.

Lin Jie took a look at his hands and realized the skin on his hands which was damaged previously due to practicing The Refined Punches had grown back. However, if he used more force, his skin would break again. Though this did not affect Lin Jie's health, it would definitely affect his appearance.

Most probably, Wine God Elder did not care about maintaining nice appearances, and training up the bones was his ultimate aim. As such, he did not leave Lin Jie with any skincare methods.

"Bro, BRO!"

A series of knocking… no, thumping sounds were heard. This was the umpteenth time Lin Xiaoxue tried to wake up her dear elder brother. Every time she was about to kick open his room's door, she would be stopped by her parents' repeating reminders like "Your brother's having a hard time trying to make money, don't go and disturb him" etc…

"Today's registration date! I have applied for leave from school to accompany you to your university, but look at you…" Xiaoxue was nagging huffily outside the door and was about to return to her own room when Lin Jie opened the door, his expression full of embarrassment.

Looking at the huge mountain of luggage piled up in the living room, Lin Jie didn't know if he should laugh or cry. Coming from a reborn person's perspective, although he was willing to understand his parents' immense care and concern for him, he was still rather… dumbfounded by this whole situation.

As his mother needed to man the fruit stall, she was not there to send him off. However, she had prepared all kinds of appetizing, nourishing, and healthy fruits which had either brain-boosting or fitness-enhancing effects for her precious baby boy, and filled up one luggage case fully. Lin Jiawu did not approve very much of her actions, but nevertheless, he still helped her pack the fruits with a joyful attitude.

"There's still half an hour before we leave. You can take a rest first," commented Lin Jiawu as he checked his watch.

"By the way, your mobile phone rang just now."

Lin Jie blinked. 'Mobile phone?;

As he had been online for a long time, he had almost forgotten to check his phone.

"Little Jie, see you at school!"—Zheng Ziliang.

Lin Jie's lips twitched. 'This chap… He totally failed at living up to the name of a rich man's kid!' Not only did Zheng Ziliang abstain from fooling with pretty models or artistes, refused to drive in luxurious cars, but also his main enjoyment came from shopping at roadside vendors all day long. Now as he knew his buddy was enrolled into university, Zheng Ziliang even resorted to buying a university acceptance letter so that he could become one too and shared Lin Jie's happiness and woes of being an undergrad.

In Lin Jie's previous life, as he led a super loser lifestyle, the hardcore businessman Zheng Guangming had not looked well upon their friendship. He had eventually forced Zheng Ziliang to transfer to Huaxia University in an attempt to break off their friendship…

This time round… Lin Jie felt hopeful that things would change for the better.

Xiaoxue had dressed up specially in a light yellow dress for this day. Lin Jie got a shock when he saw Xiaoxue, as he was used to seeing his sister in her school's uniform. She tied up her hair into a high French braid, and the braid swayed along her waistline as she walked around, making her look like a cute rabbit.

"Why dressed up so nicely?" Lin Jie chuckled.

Xiaoxue blinked her pretty eyes. "Well, I might as well have a prior taste of what university life might be, and see if there are any good-looking guys around."

"Aye? Didn't you say that you want to chase that…"

"Bro! Stop there!" said Lin Xiaoxue huffily.

Their father coughed dryly at this. "That boy called Zhang Peng… he's the one who helped to bring back Xiaoxue's drawings last time, correct? Well, I had some small talk with him, and then he… cough, cough."

Lin Jie could not stifle back his smile at that. Their father's 'interrogation' skills would not lose out to any special police. Most probably that kid was scared out of wits after that 'small talk' and decided to shy away from Xiaoxue.

Well, this wasn't an entirely bad thing. Young people shouldn't fall in love so early.

Xiaoxue looked rather dampened at this comment, but she recovered her spirits fast enough and smiled radiantly as she said, "Let's go, we will help with Bro's registration matters!"

"Yeap, let's go." Lin Jiawu laughed.

Lin Jie was rather flabbergasted at this. No matter in his previous life or now, he was still an adult at heart. He felt somewhat embarrassed at being accompanied by his father and younger sister to his university…

Secretly though, he looked forward to it and felt blissful by his family's actions.

The taxi they called for arrived. Lin Jie let out an embarrassed laugh as he saw his father carrying the mattress and going down to the ground floor. He took over all the heavy items and put them on his own shoulders as they proceeded down.

'Well, all freshmen are accompanied by their parents. No, it's not embarrassing at all…' mused Lin Jie secretly.

When they reached the ground floor, Lin Jie saw that it wasn't a taxi which was waiting for them, but a minivan! It looked like any normal car—until the windows were rolled down and a familiar face was revealed.

"Little Jie, hop on!" Zheng Ziliang patted the steering wheel and beamed at him. "Let's go for registration!"
