You received [Pet Egg: Silver-Feathered Eagle]

Lin Jie took a look at the Silver-Feathered Eagle’s grade: Dark Gold!

Dark Gold?
Lin Jie frowned. As a Pet Egg that the Sub-Legendary Boss had dropped, it was only Dark Gold? However, he took a look at the name and felt relieved as that was not a
Thunder Silver-Feathered Eagle’s Pet Egg.

Within The New Age, wild beasts also had their own encounters, most probably that Thunder Silver-Feathered Eagle was originally only a normal Silver-Feathered Eagle, it must have had some miraculous encounter that made it evolve into a Sub-Legendary Boss. No matter what, the Silver-Feathered Eagle’s grade was not bad.
As a Warrior, Lin Jie could also have a pet. However, besides Hunter and Summoner jobs, most of the players’ pets main use was to be viewed and admired. Super Rare pets could enhance a small number of attributes.


A Pet was the male players’ generally acknowledged
hitting on girls
item. However, that was only for low-grade pets, meanwhile pet eggs above Dark Gold, even the worst was able to add a few points of strength. To Lin Jie, even enhancing some Elemental Damage was not bad.
One needed to bring the pet egg when farming monsters to hatch the egg. The monsters had a small chance of helping to increase the soul power, and when the soul power reached 100%, the pet egg would be hatched.
The drop rate for soul power was all the same regardless of the level of the monsters; one did not need to purposely farm high-level monsters.
Lin Jie thought for a while and simply went to the new players’ town, Town of Meyer. He ran to the place that had spawned large numbers of Dark Servants. He started to crazily massacre these low-level monsters.
Under the activated Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner, Thunderbolt Sword and Broken Blade’s damage output instantly shot up. A normal attack would deal 500+ damage, while one sweep of the sword would cause a flood of monsters to fall.
After a few minutes, all the Dark Servants had already died in the Dark Servant spawning grounds; there wasn’t even enough time for them to respawn.
Meanwhile, the pet egg’s soul power had only reached 3%.

There’s still a long way to go.
Lin Jie stepped forward a few steps and came to the level 8 Fear Devils’ spawning grounds and continued to farm monsters without worries.

Hey, hey, brother.
A player that was as thin as bamboo and wore a dark robe ran up to Lin Jie and said with a depressed look,
What level are you already? Could you please not snatch monsters from a new player like me?
Lin Jie looked at his job, good fellow, he was actually a Spellcaster of Curse! No wonder one month after the opening of The New Age, he’s still only level 8, at the leveling ground raising his levels.


In the early game, Spellcasters of Curse needed to rely completely on their teammates to level up. If they leveled up individually, then most probably it would be the same as the guy in front of him.
Spellcasters of Curse only had one skill in the early game: Agony.
[Agony]: Deals 60 points of damage within 12 seconds to a target, this damage if not affected by enhancement from Wisdom.
As a magical job, the skill was actually not influenced by Wisdom. In other words, unless the level of the skill increased, Agony’s damage would forever cause 60 points of damage. For every second, 5 points would be deduced! It’s even better to use the Mage’s staff to hit!
Lin Jie laughed. ‘This guy playing Spellcaster of Curse actually persisted, he’s also a talent.’ So he simply sent a team request to him and said,
I’ll train you, enter the team.


Ah? Aiyo, thank you, thank you.
The Spellcaster of Curse joined the team. He appeared to be pleasantly surprised and said,
Spellcaster of Curse, this job is too trashy. I’ve played for over a month, and no one has teamed up with me before.


Haha, then you have the perseverance… I…
Lin Jie took a look at his name, and for a moment, his jaw dropped, unable to close it.
Abstruse Gray Wind! He was the best Spellcaster of Curse in Lin Jie’s previous life, the first powerful person to develop the sect of all Spellcasters of Curse, known as Curse Emperor!
‘That, that, that…’ Lin Jie almost could not believe his eyes. The person that was the Curse Emperor in his previous life was using his staff to hit the monsters’ head in a relatively hard and tiresome way while complaining to Lin Jie that leveling up was difficult.
Lin Jie probed,
Gray Wind, how did you develop your stats?



Abstruse Gray Wind blinked his eyes and said in all seriousness,
All in Health Points! The Spellcaster of Curse job skills basically had no Wisdom and Spirit enhancement, leveling up all rely on using the staff to hit monsters. If I add more Health Points, then I can take more hits. Darn, it, wait till I’m too lazy to smash anymore, I’ll just directly delete my account and go play a Warrior.

Lin Jie’s mouth twitched. ‘That was not what you said seven years later!’
Lin Jie could clearly remember, at that time, Curse Emperor was wearing the Angel of Death set, his face was cold as he said word by word,
The reason why successful people succeed is very simple! Dare to be the first and persevere! Since the Spellcaster of Curse skill had no enhancement to it, I naturally started to find other methods! From the start, I had believed that the Spellcaster of Curse would shine under my persistence and development!

Who would have thought that the reason Curse Emperor had added all stat points into Health Points at first was actually to have more Health Points, so it was easier for him to hit monsters!?
Recalling a few years later, the Curse Emperor with Health Points as high as few hundred thousand channeling curses at crowds of people, made Lin Jie’s eyes lit up. He said calmly,
Gray Wind, do you have a team now?

Abstruse Gray Wind pursed his lips.
What do you think? Who would let a Spellcaster of Curse join?


I’ll let you join,
said Lin Jie seriously,
You can join my team, they will bring you to clear dungeons, farm monsters, and level up.


Really? Your team is willing to add me?
exclaimed Abstruse Gray Wind excitedly,
Yes, yes, I’ll join! Thank you, thank you for being willing to train such a noob like me.


Noob? Why can I see the shadow of an expert in you?
said Lin Jie laughingly.

You’re praising me too much, hehehe… Cough, cough, I’m not happy at all, hahahahaha…
Abstruse Gray Wind joined the team and was arranged by Lin Jie to the Fourth Savage Blade team. He didn’t need to do anything other than gain experience. That was enough!


Fourth Savage Blade was the team that had the most frequent change in team members. Once one had obtained a good set of equipment, then they would immediately challenge the members. The one who lost would leave the team, while the other would get to join.
However, under the special care of Lin Jie, Abstruse Gray Wind was temporarily exempted from that rule. In that kind of team, he most probably would be able to learn much techniques, it was quite good for training his mental strength too.
Bringing Abstruse Gray Wind along, they swept past the whole Town of Meyer and the soul power of the Pet Egg had risen to 75%, but it was still not enough. Thus, Lin Jie continued to wreck the other novice towns, making the many new players complain incessantly. Only Abstruse Gray Wind followed behind Lin Jie tightly to gain the experience. He quickly leveled up to level 10 and happily joined Fourth Savage Blade to enter dungeons.

Your Pet Egg can be hatched, do you want to hatch it immediately?

Yes!
Crack—
A small hole appeared on the eggshell and a small furry thing that was extremely cute, like a small chick, crawled out from it. It looked at Lin Jie in a daze, and a ray of holy light flashed in its eyes. The first person the pet saw when it just hatched would be its parent. The little Silver-Feathered Eagle started chirping excitedly.
That little thing was hungry.
Lin Jie tore a small piece of the eggshell and stuffed it into its mouth. The eggshell was its essence of life, after devouring all of it, it would even have a crucial effect on the pet.


Every time the small thing ate a piece, it would grow a bit bigger. It grew at speed visible to naked eyes, even growing its wings and feathers out. After devouring half of the eggshell, the Silver-Feathered Eagle was already of a miniature form to the Thunder Silver-Feathered Eagle. It had a pair of courageous eyes without comparison. Then in one mouthful, it swallowed the remaining half of the eggshell!
Screech—
The Silver-Feathered Eagle let out a sound and turned into the pet mark, branded in the pet column.
[Silver-Feathered Eagle] (Scouting-type pet)
Grade: Dark Gold
Level: 1
Attack: 1-1
Defense: 1
Health Points: 50
Movement Speed: 60%
Flying Speed: 350%
Skill: Spirit Vision (You are able to see with the Silver-Feathered Eagle’s eyes at any time)
The Silver-Feathered Eagle’s attributes were relatively weak, but its speed was extremely horrifying. It was as high as 350% of Flying Speed—it was even faster than sitting a flying mount! That was an extremely powerful scouting-type pet.
If one had to point out its only weakness, it would be its life-saving ability!
Lin Jie flipped over his palm and took out a pale yellow crystal.
[Mutated Earth Elemental Brain]: Special item, can be used for one’s pet, causes it to evolve or degenerate. (It has been long enough since this item appeared.)

Little thing, eat it.
Lin Jie threw that crystal to it, and the Silver-Feathered Eagle could not wait but gulp it down.
Then… It was stuck.
Lin Jie could clearly see that there was a huge hard object stuck in the Silver-Feathered Eagle’s throat.
Screech—
Screech—
The Silver-Feathered Eagle called out in pain. Lin Jie panicked and poked his finger into its mouth, stuffing it all in.
The Silver-Feathered Eagle lied down on the ground in agony, its body gradually turning yellow. In the end, it rotted into a pile of mud, slowly merging with the ground!

FCK!
Lin Jie was shocked. ‘Hey, just feeding a crystal to one’s pet can cause it to die?’
Screech—
The Silver-Feathered Eagle suddenly flew up happily and spun around randomly while flapping its wings. In between its wings, a few peculiar colors were added. Lin Jie checked the Silver-Feathered Eagle attributes, its flying speed had increased from 350% to 360%, and it had another talent: Disguise!

Silver-Feathered Eagle, fly,
shouted Lin Jie.
Screech—
The Silver-Feathered Eagle called out in joy and flew straight up into the sky, its flying speed was extremely fast!
Lin Jie closed his eyes and activated Spirit Vision, scenes gradually appeared in his mind. Looking down on the whole town from the sky, all the white clouds blocking his vision previously were actually directly filtered. Not only so, the trees that blocked the image were also gradually fading, and he could clearly see the objects on the ground.
It was as if he had an extra pair of eyes in the sky!
When others raised their heads, they would only see an empty sky! That was the newly added talent skill of the Silver-Feathered Eagle, Disguise!
Lin Jie ordered the Silver-Feathered Eagle to fly around everywhere, trying to test what its farthest scouting distance was!
As the Silver-Feathered Eagle flew, it went higher and higher, further and further away, almost flying out of the mountain at the town!
Just at that moment, Lin Jie could feel a sharp pain in his mind—that was the sign of reaching the limit! Lin Jie hurriedly summoned back his Silver-Feathered Eagle.
‘Looks like the limit of the distance is a town in addition to its surroundings, around half the City of Light, quite good!’
With it here with him, if it stayed in the sky during a battle, it would be of great help to grasping the whole situation.
After summoning back the Silver-Feathered Eagle, when Lin Jie was about to leave while feeling satisfied, he suddenly noticed that a strange figure was flickering not far away! It was a person wearing tight-fitting clothes with red, green stripes. That person carried a large backpack, and his face that was like a mouse was covered by a tattered cloth.
That was not a player, but an NPC!

Great Bandit Lasol!
An image instantly popped up in Lin Jie’s mind.
