Chapter 4 - The Sensation Caused By Death
The roar of anger of the Mayor of the Cross resounded throughout the City Hall.
At high speed, Cross instantly arrived in front of Shi Feng, his fist stretching out toward Shi Feng.
The other players were currently enjoying Shi Fengs misfortune, taking the opportunity to gauge the strength of the Town Major Cross.
Cross was a Level 15 Elite, and a single slap from him was enough to beat the current player to death. However, Shi Feng was stupid to the point of angering the mayor. There was not a single person in the entire Red Leaf Town who could save him now. He would be imprisoned until he was on his deathbed or he would be expelled from Red Leaf Town.
However, Shi Fengs calm demeanor confused the other players. Is he ready to die?
When Cross was about to hit Shi Feng, Stationary Shi Feng finally made a move. Like a hunter waiting for his prey, Shi Feng immediately unsheathed his Novice Sword. With a quick movement, he used the sword to defend his body.
The peng!
Cross's fist landed on the Novice Sword, sending Shi Feng's entire person flying. Just as Shi Feng was about to fall, he flipped his body, landing steadily on the ground with the flexibility of a cat. However, his HP instantly decreased by 84, and the Novice Sword within his grasp trembled uncontrollably. The durability of the sword was even reduced by 1 point; the weapon would become useless once its durability dropped to 0.
Si ……
All the players took cold breaths.
Seeing Shi Fengs problem, they had originally thought of him as a beginner. However, after Shi Feng's recent appearance, anyone with an intelligent eye could tell that he was a highly skilled person. Even if Cross had low physical damage as a mage, as a Level 15 Elite, he could still kill any of the current players in a single strike. However, Shi Feng was still alive. He had used his weapon to block the attack, reducing the damage to a minimum
"She was obviously a witch, yet her strength and speed were truly shocking." Shi Feng was secretly amazed as he looked at the wailing Novice Sword in his grasp. Fortunately, he had added all of his points to Agility, increasing his Attack Speed to 4. Otherwise, he would have already died by now, having to start his Quest again.
"Dead, insect!"
After failing to attack, Cross grew even more furious. Suddenly, his clothes were torn off, revealing a body covered in pitch-black fur; cross had turned into a Wolf Man with sharp fangs.
Every player was shocked at this moment. They would never think the mayor was an evil Werewolf.
Cross arrived at Shi Fengs back in an instant, raising his snowy claws and slashing them at Shi Fengs heart.
However, Shi Feng revealed a cold grin, even though he only had 16 HP remaining.
Cross's claws suddenly stopped; they were only a few centimeters away from dealing with Shi Feng. Unfortunately, Cross was hit by a Level 25 [Filling] Guard, entering a Fainted state for 1 second.
Shi Feng took this opportunity to immediately move.
Just when Cross was about to hunt Shi Feng after waking up, he was once again interrupted by another Guard.
Both Guards were Tier 25 Fighters. Although none of them were Elites, the damage they ate was relatively high. A Charge, coupled with a normal attack, quickly took out 300 HP from Cross. The two Guards had taken a total of 600 HP, causing Cross' HP to fall to 1700 in an instant.
"As expected of the Guards, their attack power must be high." Shi Feng chuckled softly as he looked at Cross' sorry state.
The guards are the protectors of the city. They specialize in protecting the city's civilians and fighting the invasion of evil creatures. By this time, the mayor had turned into a Wolf Man; proof that he was not a human, but a spy for the forces of evil. The guards would naturally not let him go, killing him as if he was no different from a monster in the wild.
On the surface, Sherlock's demand conditions appear harsh. But in reality, players only need to actively attack the mayor, after which it survives the mayor's first attack. After that it sailed smoothly. The guards would handle the rest after the mayor revealed his true self.
In Shi Fengs previous life, the reason this Unique Search could shock the entire White River City, was because the City Mayor was a spy for the evil forces. This quest had allowed players to have a new perspective towards Gods Domain; NPCs were not entirely reliable, as they might be one of the evil forces in disguise.
Simultaneously, the player who completed the Quest had shocked everyone with his method of baiting the Mayor. The player has racked his brain to complete the Quest and, of course, he wants to show off his efforts by revealing his strategy. But now, it was being utilized by Shi Feng.
Because of this, Cross was now attacked by two Guards. Although the damage dealt by the Guards was extremely high, Cross' target had never shifted away from Shi Feng. He continuously aimed to kill Shi Feng but, unfortunately for him, the two Guards stuck to him like glue. One of the Guards used [Bone Crusher], while the other used [Thundering Strike], causing Cross's Movement Speed to plummet. Fortunately, Shi Feng could escape death with 5 points of his Movement Speed.
Just like that, Cross' over 2000 HP was almost depleted.
Hiding a distant place, Shi Feng smiled disdainfully in regards to their thoughts.
Is the City Mayor someone they can have an idea about? Although the mayor had become one of the evil forces, this was only part of the Quest plan. In the eyes of the other players, the mayor was still in a state of friendship; it was simply impossible to attack the mayor.
When Cross only had 100 HP left, all the other players started moving. They all simultaneously rushed towards Town Mayor Cross. They all wanted to give a final strike, snatching the falling items.
Seeing Cross only a single punch away from the door of death, Shi Feng also dashed out.
Unfortunately, Cross still died under the Guard's sword in the end. Not a single player was able to attack Cross. Although Shi Feng could attack, he was unwilling to take the risk. After the mayor died, he immediately took the [Mayor of Insignia] and disappeared into the crowd.
NPCs within the city would not produce EXP or loot if killed. Shi Feng would not have even been able to obtain the Mayor's Coat of Arms had it not been for the Quest.
"Junk! System bugged! Why can't I attack the mayor? "
“I want to complain! Why didn't the mayor drop anything after death? "
Some novice players complain in annoyance. Level 15 elites had died before their eyes, yet they did not gain a single advantage; they could not accept it.
"Stupid. Don't you know that you have a friendly relationship with NPCs? Players were unable to attack NPCs with friendly relations. If you don't even know such general knowledge, why bother playing Gods Domain? "
After ridiculing the newbies, the competent players searched for traces of Shi Feng. A player who could kill the Mayor in such a manner was definitely an expert, someone they had to associate with. However, they were unable to find Shi Feng, even after searching for a long time. They don't know his name either. They could not help but secretly feel pity.
Meanwhile, news of Mayor Cross's death spread throughout Red Leaf Village, creating a sensation among all players.
In this phase of the game, where players were still worried about grinding monsters for Levels, the leader of a city was toyed with to death so simply. This is too shocking!
Not even thirty minutes since the opening of Gods Domain, a news thread appeared on the official website forum.
The Mysterious Swordsman killed the Level 15 Elite, the Mayor of Red Leaf Town. The leader of a city was actually a Werewolf in disguise. What kind of game was Gods Domain exactly?
This news thread instantly caused a sensation among the players. It only took a few moments for the number of clicks to the page to pass ten million. Everyone was interested in this mysterious Swordsman. Unfortunately, they were unable to contact the person because no one knew his name.
Now, Shi Feng had already arrived at the dark alley.
"Mr Sherlock, this is the Mayor's coat of arms you requested." Shi Feng gave the silver-colored Mayor Insignia to the beggar, Sherlock.
With the completion of the Quest, bad news came to both players who had received the Quest and to those who were currently trying to receive one from the mayor. This is because Cross doesn't want to respawn. They would have no place to submit their Quest even if it was completed. Red Leaf Town also no longer had a mayor, although Shi Feng did not care about that.
"thank you. Thank you very much. I'm finally getting revenge for my friend. These things should help you. "
Sherlock gave Shi Feng a small, delicate box. Next, Sherlock takes Insignia Mayor and leaves a dark alley.
System: Unique Search "Sherlock Request" completed. Reward 2000 EXP, 20 Free Mastery Points, 1 [Fancy Ornament Box].
With the sound of "Hua", Shi Feng became Level 1, and he was only 1000 EXP away from Level 2. Shi Fengs level became top of Red Leaf Town, just thirty minutes after the start of Gods Domain. Under normal circumstances, an average player would need 1000 EXP to rise to Level 1. Such an amount required at least six or seven hours of grinding monsters, as each Level 0 monster only gave 3 EXP. Time was also required to search for monsters, to recover, and so on. Factoring in the large number of players at the start of the game that were fighting monsters, taking over ten hours to arrive at Level 1 could be considered average.
“Why is the Unique Quest gift so generous? Is it because I finished it at Level 0? '' Shi Feng became a little uncertain but he was still happy with such a gift.
In his previous life, the gifts installed were not that luxurious. Although the amount of EXP was the same, the number of Free Mastery Points was not. Others only received 10 points for it, as well as the Fine Ornament Box, while Shi Feng received 20 points and the Luxury Ornament Box.
Free Mastery Points were extremely valuable in Gods Domain. Rarely would a Quest give 3 to 5 points. This Unique Quest had given 20 points.
"Hopefully, it didn't disappoint me. Although it was not a Fine Ornament Box, it was still a better Luxury Ornament Box. It has to come out. '' Shi Feng carefully held the Ornament box, a nervous gulp coming from his throat. Slowly, he opened the box.
Although the EXP and Free Mastery Points were excellent, what Shi Feng really wanted were the items inside the Ornament Box. It was an important item he needed to complete leveling and his plan of making money. It was also a top-tier item that was flooded with many experts. Shi Feng would cry to death if something went wrong.
