Naga, although we are enemies, I am still willing to help you,
said Lin Jie with a determined tone.
However, my strength alone is not enough to defeat the Simon Pirates on the island…

Naga Gion hurriedly shook his head and said,
No, no need to defeat all of the Simon Pirates on the island. There are two reasons why they are so rampant. One, this fearsome Crying Bay, which can create a thick and dreadful fog where one would not be able to differentiate one’s direction. Two, the head of the Simon Pirates—Simon. He has a Legendary skill—Soul Detonation. The souls wandering around Crying Bay are the sailors that have died here in these few hundreds of years. He is able to detonate the souls! He had once used Soul Detonation to force a strong Priest named Yatasha retreat.

Lin Jie was stunned, ‘Yatasha? As expected, she’s always there to lend a helping hand. Since she likes to be a busybody, she would definitely come here.’ However, there was no result and was even injured by Simon’s explosion. Without any other choice, she then returned to land to rest.
In this case… If he could complete the mission, then wasn’t it possible that he could cheat a few more things from that kind-hearted girl? It was killing two birds with one stone!
Lin Jie put on a serious face and said,
Then tell me how to help you, I will definitely try my best to help!



Gion thought for a while and replied,
The key to defeating the Simon Pirates is to eliminate the power of Crying Bay! We, the Nagas, are not good in Forging, so I need large amounts of potions to recover the health of the babies. Also, we need something to remove the curse on the female Nagas.

Ding~
—’Do you accept the Epic mission [Purification! Crying Bay!]’
‘Do you need to ask? Of course, I’ll accept it!’
Mission Description: You have come to Crying Island by chance, and you, who have seen a tragedy, decided to put down the hatred of races to help the Nagas free themselves from the suppression of the Simon Pirates. You need to provide at least 3,000 bottles of Health Potions to help the infants recover their health, kill 100 Sharp-Toothed Tiger Sharks, and take their hearts to cure the female Nagas of the poison.
Mission Reward: Naga Shrine reputation 10,000, 600,000 EXP, ???
‘Fck! It really is an Epic mission! 3,000 bottles of Health Potions are worth at least over 100 gold coins. The Nagas are lucky that they had met me, a tycoon that is supporting the Potion King. Otherwise, if it were a poor loser, how would he help you all?’
However, 100 Sharp-Toothed Tiger Sharks… A shiver ran down Lin Jie’s spine as Sharp-Toothed Tiger Shark was a level 40 Enhanced Elite, and their attributes were raised by 60% in the water. Their sharp teeth ignored one’s Defense, and when the target’s health points were under 50%, it would start to have the attribute of
Instant Kill
. This attribute increased the sharks’ chances to bite the target to death with one attack!
As a Warrior, before learning [Proficient Underwater Battling], one’s attributes would decrease by 30% when underwater and one’s movement speed would even be as slow as a turtle. When a Warrior stayed underwater for over 15 seconds, their health points would start to decrease until they drowned and died.
If the Sharp-Toothed Tiger Sharks wanted to kill him, they could easily bite him whole, then pull him underwater and keep him in their mouth. They just needed to wait for his health points to be lower than 50% so that they could directly swallow him.


Unless [Proficient Underwater Battling] was raised to mid-level, one couldn’t even unleash one’s full battle powers.
Lin Jie gritted his teeth. Since he was already here, he might as well stay and make the best out of it. If worse came to worst, he could just slide his hand and use his blood to attract the Sharp-Toothed Tiger Sharks to land. After that, he would use Silent Killer to shoot them.

Come, let me give you the potions first.
Lin Jie waved his hand.

No-no… This item is much too valuable, I have no qualifications to accept it. Please come to our residence and allow the Prophet to make the final decision.
Gion hurriedly declined and brought Lin Jie back.
The Prophet had shown the sublime praise towards Lin Jie, who had accepted the mission and received the potions. He immediately asked Gion to take those potions and save the infants on the island. Although the Prophet was unable to speak, he gave Lin Jie a fervent hug in return.

That’s it?
Lin Jie widened his eyes.
I thought you would at least give me divine equipment to help me go and catch the sharks.

The Prophet was stunned. He was a little embarrassed by what Lin Jie had said. Someone had gone through innumerable hardships to save you from your misery but just giving him a hug as a return did not seem that great. The Prophet scratched his head, opened his mouth, and a tiny piece of metal came out from within!
The metal’s shape seemed exactly the same as
Poseidon’s Trident
in mangas, but it was more quaint and was still far from the handsomeness of the Poseidon Trident.
The trident slowly turned bigger until it was as tall as a person. The Prophet stretched out his hand and signaled for Lin Jie to take it.
[Naga’s Trident] (Epic Weapon)


Requires: Level 30
Attack: 355-500
Strength: +70
Agility: +70
Attack Penetration: +60
Additional effect: All skills’ levels are increased by one.
Attributes: When you are within the ocean, the Naga Trident’s attributes are doubled.
Additional effect: [High-level Proficient Underwater Battling]
‘This is a real Epic weapon! High attack, high stat enhancements, all skill levels are increased, and stats are doubled within the domain. It’s simply incredible!’
High-level Proficient Underwater Battling could increase the player’s swimming speed by 120%, and one would be able to breathe underwater. It was extremely strong! With such a skill, it was like a duck swimming into the water.


Sub-jobs were extremely difficult to raise as always, and Proficient Underwater Battling was even more so. Even if one stayed in the water every day, they would also need two years’ time without sleep to be able to raise it to a high level.

Ahahahaha, I will now go and capture Sharp-Toothed Tiger Sharks for you! Wait for my good news!
Lin Jie grabbed the trident, and his confidence rose explosively. He instantly rushed towards the peripheral of the island! Naturally, the number of sharks in the surroundings of Crying Island was not in the few as many ships had shipwrecked; thus, food was abundant. Not far away, there were already a few Sharp-Toothed Tiger Sharks swimming around in the water casually.
Splash-
Lin Jie jumped right into the water. The trident allowed his movement to be extremely fast, and he did not even need to worry about the problem of breathing, so he kicked his foot, and his body started to head deeper into the water. Beneath him was a Sharp-Toothed Tiger Shark! Its bright and shiny back reflected the round moon. It made it impossible for one to see within the seas, except when the sharp teeth occasionally appeared to show how majestic and powerful he monster was!
[Sharp-Toothed Tiger Shark] (Enhanced Elite)
Level: 40
Health Points: 29,000
Attack: 456-759
Defense: 100
Note: The Sharp-Toothed Tiger Shark’s teeth are extremely sharp, so it can ignore 60% of your defense.


That was the Sharp-Toothed Tiger Shark, the king of the oceans! No matter how high Lin Jie’s defenses were, he would also most likely receive five to six hundred points of damage from being bitten. Not to mention that it was within the ocean, its movement speed was astounding. It was no wonder why no one dared to level up in the ocean.

Naga’s Trident! Army Obliteration!

Lin Jie used his ultimate skill immediately, and Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner’s powerful aura directly split the seawater, forming a vacuum space. At the same time, Blade Aura slashed towards the back of the Sharp-Toothed Tiger Shark with a swoosh.
-3,122!
-1,586!
-1,684!
-3,288!
The basic attack of Naga’s Trident was as high as 531-613, and the Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner enhanced it by 20%, while Army Obliteration enhanced it by 40%. In addition, the Critical Hit and 100% attribute enhancement the trident naturally had within the water was what formed such formidable damage!
Ang
Fresh blood instantly flowed out from the back of the shark. The pain was so unbearable that it trembled within the water. It was huge but agile as it attacked Lin Jie and its sharp teeth gleamed with cold light.

Hmph!
Lin Jie’s eyes turned ice cold, and Shield Cut was released!
-4,110! (Critical Hit)
Immediately after, an Ice Spirit Slash froze the Sharp-Toothed Tiger Shark, and Naga’s Trident instantly followed up, attacking vigorously. It pierced many holes on the body of the Sharp-Toothed Tiger Shark, and blood could be seen pouring out of them. Then, a Blood Soul Multi-Slash was used, and the shark’s head was chopped off!

Wow, hahaha, this feels awesome!
Lin Jie laughed out loud heartily. The enhancement of doubling stats was really powerful! With such overpowering stats, there’s no reason not to kill the Sharp-Toothed Tiger Sharks!
Sharp-Toothed Tiger Sharks were animals, so they would not drop coins, but the items they dropped were very valuable!
[Tiger Shark’s Sharp Tooth] (Silver)
Requires: Level 35
Attack: 134-231
Agility: +16
Critical: +3%
Movement Speed: +5%
Armor Ignore: 5%
Additional effect: The Tiger Shark’s Sharp Tooth can be used as Forging material.
Within The New Age, many items could directly be used as equipment. In his previous life, in the Japan server, there had even been people that had pulled out the spine bone of the Yamanato no Orochi 1 and turned it into Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi 1.
The Tiger Shark’s Sharp Tooth was also similar. It was not only a Silver dagger, but it could also be used as a material to be fused within equipment and increase attributes such as Armor Penetration!
Not only so, but there was also a heart the size of an adult’s head, that was the mission item, nothing much to see.
The smell of the fresh blood instantly attracted the sharks around Lin Jie, and in the blink of an eye, six to seven sharks had already surrounded him. One shark was not enough to satisfy their hunger! The huge steel tooth gleamed with a silvery light and flickered with deadly cold light, intertwining with the radiance emitted by Naga’s Trident as if it was the calm before the storm.

Come!

Lin Jie’s killing intent instantly rose rapidly, and he held Broken Blade in his hand—
The round moon was suddenly covered by clouds, and the whole sky turned dark. Lightning bolts smashed down one after the other, passing through the sea and enhancing Lin Jie!

Thunder Descent!

Sizzle—
Lin Jie held the trident in his hand and around him was lightning surrounding him, as if Poseidon had descended—his aura was incomparable! What was most important was that Thunder Descent had an additional effect of paralysis as high as 80% and water… conducted electricity!
Lin Jie was not god, which meant he needed some means to face six to seven level 40 Enhanced Elite alone and be able to kill them without being injured at all. Shield Cut sliced open the head of one of the sharks, at the same time damage was dealt, Thunder Descent’s effect had activated, and lightning tore at the surface of the shark’s skin, paralyzing it.
Not only so, but as lightning spread through the water, the rest of the sharks were also all paralyzed!
In the water, Thunder Descent had become a crowd control skill.
Lin Jie curved up his lips and waved the trident continuously. Enormous Critical Hit damage popped up continuously in the water as if it did not tire at all. In the blink of an eye, six Sharp-Toothed Tiger Sharks died, they dropped four pieces of high-quality shark skin and a Tiger Shark’s Sharp Tooth.
Players could not process shark skin, but the Guild of Marine Freedom would buy it for a high price in order to create sharkskin armors convenient for escaping and rescue. The Guild of Marine Freedom’s purchasing price was as high as 25 Marine Currency since the sharkskin was extremely precious.
What made Lin Jie even happier was that by using the Naga’s Trident to kill the sharks, the experience points were actually the full amount! But thinking about it, if it was another normal player, then even if he or she had the trident, they would not be able to kill such a large number like Lin Jie. They would need to carefully search for sharks that were alone, and in a night, they would at most kill a little more than 10 sharks.
Who could be like Lin Jie? He just needed to casually wave his hand, and a huge crowd of sharks would surround him.

However, with such divine equipment in hand, just killing Enhanced Elites is a waste!
Lin Jie’s eyeballs turned red, and then he swam deeper down the ocean.
A faint reflection was extremely dazzling in the dark sea—a treasure chest!
