The Return of the Sword God

The Abyssal Blade

Shi Feng scanned his surroundings after hanging up the phone on Blackie. Seeing that no one noticed his sudden arrival, he immediately entered the empty alley.

Opening the Pure Gold Treasure Chest would definitely cause a commotion.

Opening and showing off the Pure Gold Treasure Chest in the bustling square was a bold act. It is something only beginners do. Compared to the real world, there are no limits in the game world. Needless to say, the great powers in this game thirst for great treasures. If a player lacked the ability, one of the best scenarios was for someone to be killed back to Level 0 to obtain the treasure. If the treasure does not come out...... Then congratulations, you can only stay in the city for the rest of your life. While other players are in the wild to level up, the only thing you can do is roam the city. After a few months, you can proudly be promoted to 'City Guide'. Shi Feng was not an Assassin capable of stealth, hiding, and killing. Right now, he did not have enough strength to protect himself, so staying humble was a necessary thing to do.

Shi Feng silently observed the empty alley for quite some time. After he made sure no one was following him, he took out the black long sword.

Shi Feng's brows furrowed as he looked at the black longsword.

[Abyssal Blade] (Magic Weapon)

Job Requirements: Swordsman

Do you want to tie up equipment?

“Should I complete it or not?” Shi Feng became frustrated when he saw the Abyssal Blade.

Shi Feng was very familiar with Magic Weapons. Magic Weapons were different from normal equipment. Such equipment did not possess any rank to differentiate them, and they were even rarer than Legendary Equipment. His strength is beyond doubt. However, a Magic Weapon was a double-edged sword. This is because the weapon has a side effect called Backlash. If the player using the Magic Weapon was not careful, a single mistake could cripple his account.

In his previous life, there were quite a few experts in the Star Moon Kingdom who became top-tier experts due to Magic Weapons. Even at his peak times, Shi Feng could only look at them. However, after a period of time, the two experts crippled their accounts because they did not handle Backlash properly; their only option was to start a new account. “Forget it, just set it aside for now. I can't take any risks at this time.” Shi Feng shook his head while storing the Abyssal Blade. He had to earn 16,000 Credits in ten days. The pressure on him is huge. If any mistake were to occur, then all his previous efforts would be in vain. Shi Feng took out a Pure Gold Treasure Chest.

Shi Feng looked at the gilded treasure chest, unable to contain the excitement in his heart, the “Secret Silver Treasure Chest they took out last time already contained the pharmaceutical recipe and the blacksmith design. I wonder what the Pure Gold Treasure Chest will provide?”

Shi Feng had been playing Gods Domain for ten years now, and the number of Pure Gold Treasure Chests he saw did not exceed twenty.

The war was fought for the sake of every Pure Gold Treasure Chest. Shi Feng did not even dare to dream that he could have it. Shi Feng slowly opened the treasure chest. Suddenly, rays of golden light shot out from the chest, illuminating the small alley. It would definitely be a dazzling beacon of light if it was night; it would attract everyone's attention.

Not daring to risk anything, Shi Feng quickly retrieved all the items from the chest. The dazzling light slowly faded away after the crate was emptied.

Fortunately, it was an empty alley, so no one was aware of the brief glow.

“The treasure chest settings in Gods Domain are truly damned. Fortunately here during the day.” Shi Feng glanced at the treasure chest by his side, then turned his gaze toward the three treasures in his hand.

There are two ancient books and a battle suit. That armor was Secret-Silver Equipment. It was far worse than Shi Feng had imagined.

[Sky Armor] (Silver Rank)

Armor Plates

Equipment Requirement: Strength 20

Equipment Level: 5

Defense +25, Strength +6, Durability +3, Agility +3

Durability 30/30

Additional Attributes: Weakening Strength. Reduce physical damage received by 15% after wearing it. Shi Feng became surprised after seeing the attributes of the battle armor. Although his equipment level was much lower than the one in his previous life, his attribute was top level. If used by the Warrior class, high Defense coupled with Power Weakening will make tanking the physical Boss no longer a problem. If this armor were to be sold now, the price would definitely be very expensive. “It's too good. Now I have armor for Level 5.” Shi Feng happily kept the Sky Armor. Swordsman also wears plate armor. When Shi Feng wore it at Level 5, he could definitely become a Shield Warrior.

Shi Feng turned his gaze to the two ancient books, becoming shocked once again when he saw their names.

[Book of Forging] and [Note of Potions]. Both are extremely rare books.

Everyone knew that Forging and Potion Making was extremely difficult to learn. Every Forging Master and Potion Master was a symbol of the strength of a Guild. Even Shadow, a Guild that possessed ten City States, only had two Forging Masters and five Potion Masters. Each of them was treated like a prince.

With these two books, Shi Feng could create a Forging Master and a Potion Master.

“I remember there was a Hidden Quest in the Dark Moon Valley. Not only would it teach Forging for free, but it would also reward the Forging Talent. If I had the Forging Talent and Forging Book, I could quickly become an Advanced Forging Intern. Then I can make Bronze Equipment and make a lot of money.” Shi Feng recalled a member of Shadow named Hammer Trading. That person had become a Forging Master because he completed that Hidden Quest. The Dark Moon Valley was a Level 4 monster area. The quest was also difficult and took a lot of time.

“It looks like I have to buy some items and make proper preparations.” Shi Feng stored the two books and sent a letter to Blackie, asking him to meet at the Trade Area. Shi Feng then headed to the Trade Area himself.

Shi Feng searched for an empty spot, covering the ground with a piece of white cloth. He put down the equipment and potions he chose, starting his stall. Common Cloth Armor Level 4 was priced at 1 Silver 20 Copper, while Bronze Shield was priced at 21 Silver. It was a reasonable and cheap price at this stage of the game.

“Rare plants, high-level equipment, those who are interested come and see it.” Shi Feng shouted.

There were quite a number of players in the Trading Area. However, most of them sell materials such as herbs, ores, etc. To date, no player has sold equipment. Shi Fengs shout immediately became the focus of everyone.

“Cannot be. There is equipment! Even Bronze Shield!”

“What an incredible fortune. I don't even have General Equipment yet, but he already has Bronze Equipment?”

“This is Level 5 Equipment. Is this a joke? I didn't see anything, did I?”

“What's so great about that? Don't forget, there's an expert who killed the mayor. It was a Level 15 Elite. Now no one can accept the Quest from the Mayor. Some of the players who received the Mayor's Quest were also furious; all of them wanted to eat the expert alive.” “Twenty-one Silver, this price is too high. I don't even have 1% of that money.” The players around him were shocked. Gods Domain had not been opened for ten hours until now, yet one could obtain such top-tier equipment. The most unbelievable part was that the equipment was even sold. It should be known that most Guilds and Workshops would wear the equipment they obtained, thus increasing their profits as much as possible. They certainly won't sell it. Currently, the average players were at Level 1. A Level 5 Equipment was something impossible to imagine, let alone a Level 5 Bronze Shield. However, the price of 21 Silver was too expensive. The average income of players did not exceed 20 Copper, and 21 Silver was equivalent to 2,100 Copper. It was an impossible price for them to bear. Shi Feng silently smiled as he watched more and more players watch.

He never expected this average player would buy him. All he wanted was an advertising effect.

It was only a moment before a group of players rushed over. The one leading them was the Shield Warrior.

“Give way, give way. Now that we, Shadow, are here, we buy everything in the stall. Everyone can just leave.” The Shadow party members created a path for the Shield Warrior to pass through. Shi Feng sent a quick glance at them, discovering that the Shield Warrior was someone he knew. The man was named Flaming Tiger; he was the Shadow Team Leader in Red Leaf Town. In his previous life, Shi Feng was constantly used as cannon fodder, preventing him from rising up quickly. Flaming Tiger was responsible for three-tenths of that 'effort. Shi Feng had never expected him to meet this man so quickly.

“You're the owner of the kiosk?” Flaming Tiger became excited as he looked at the blue cross-shaped shield. He then looked at Shi Feng. He lacked the [Observing Eyes] skill, so he could not figure out Shi Fengs level. However, Shi Feng only wore beginner equipment, and he did not have any Guild emblem on him. He's obviously just a mediocre player. Obtaining such equipment should be due to luck.

Shi Feng nodded his head as he said, “That's right.”

“Good, I want everything here for 1 Silver.” Flaming Tiger proudly declared.

He said it as if everything in the stall was just unworthy trash, and giving 1 Silver to them was tantamount to getting one Silver.

“I do not negotiate a price. Please don't get in the way of my business by acting like a noble.” Shi Feng was not angry, choosing to ignore Flaming Tiger. Right now, Flaming Tiger's face turned pale. He glared at Shi Feng, coldly saying, “Are you sure you want to fight us, Shadow? I'll give you one more chance, think carefully before speaking.”

Suddenly, the other five Shadow members surrounded Shi Feng. Shi Feng rolled his eyes towards Flaming Tiger, saying straightforwardly, “Stupid.”

He actually dared to threaten Shi Feng inside Red Leaf Town. Did he not know that actions within the city were forbidden?

“You are nearing death!” Flaming Tiger raged, both of his eyes reddened with blood. Inevitably he wanted to kill Shi Feng right now.

“Hahaha, what an interesting. Bronze Shield Level 5. How could our Killer Alliance be ignored.”

Another group of over ten players came at this moment. Each player wears the Assassin's Alliance emblem. The one who spoke up was Stabbing Heart. He became shocked when he saw the owner of the stall. He had not expected to see Shi Feng, the expert who had completed the Bronze Gift Challenge in one try. Shi Feng had even obtained a Level 5 Bronze Shield by now, so he must have killed a high-level Elite monster. Piercing Hearts became more respectful towards Shi Feng.

“It's 24 Silver, I want everything here. Let's be friends. Next time you have good equipment, you should consider us, Assassin Alliance.” Stabbing Heart handed over 24 Silver without hesitation. Although it wasn't easy for the Guild to gather these 24 Silver, it would be extremely beneficial if he could befriend an expert like Shi Feng. Since you're being frank, I won't ask for 50 more Copper. I'll contact you in the future.” Shi Feng understood the intent of Piercing Hearts. It was not a bad thing if he could cooperate with such a large Guild.

Meanwhile, the surrounding players were startled by the Assassin Alliance's overwhelming voice, handing over 24 Silver without batting an eye. Now, this was a large Guild. Such an action had made many players want to register with a Guild. Compared to the Assassin Alliance, there was no future to join a Guild like Shadow. Everyone sent a look of disdain to them.

After being looked down upon by Shi Feng, then slapped by the Assassin Alliance, the Flaming Tiger's face became a dead red. His eyes almost broke from anger. He called out to an Assassin, coldly saying, “Quiet Wolf, watch over the boy. I'll tell him what happens if he fights Shadow.” On the other hand, Shi Feng had long since left the scene. He was currently purchasing items around the Trade Area.

He now held 24 Silver on him. That amount was even greater than the guild's average total wealth. Now that Shi Feng was truly a tycoon, he started buying things without a care in the slightest. He bought 20 bottles of Black Steel Beer, each for 25 Copper.

He bought 30 Smoke Bombs, each for 20 Copper. He bought 100 Apple Pies, each for 5 Copper. Eating them recovered 30 HP every second, lasting for 10 seconds.

He bought 100 Magic Water, each for 5 Copper. Drinking it recovered 30 MP every second, lasting for 10 seconds.

Shi Feng spent a lot of his wealth in an instant, leaving him with only 3 Silver.

“Brother Feng, you finally decided to appear. What are we going to do now?” Blackie had been waiting in the Trade Area for some time now. He had a dark expression on his face, and his eyes were filled with hatred. Gods Domain had already been opened for over 9 hours now. Other than earning the title of [Explorer], Blackie had gained nothing more. He almost died of depression.

“Then, let's grind some monsters.” Shi Feng smiled, sending Blackie a party request.
