Chapter 1 A New Look

Seeing Xia Lian's transformation, Shi Feng still couldn't quite accept it.

However, meeting the legendary librarian could be considered lucky. From what he knew, the librarian of Red Leaf Town was very mysterious, appearing and disappearing like a divine dragon. He never imagined it would be the female NPC involved in the robbery. If he really fought Xia Lian, the consequences would be unimaginable.

What does it mean to pretend to be weak to deceive?

The current Xia Lian was definitely an expert in this regard.

The Divine Official was the third-tier advanced class of the Diviner. If it was the Swordsman class, it would be called Sword King, with a Sword Master in between. Even at level 20, she could easily take down a level 50 Lord monster. Perhaps the most powerful NPC in the entire Red Leaf Town was Xia Lian.

"Hehe, do you believe it now?" Xia Lian giggled at Shi Feng, a faint golden halo radiating from her body, like the descent of the Virgin Mary. "Since you're looking for me, let's talk inside the library."

System: Epic Quest ‘Darkness Descends’ has been activated, quest details unknown.

Hearing the system prompt, Shi Feng staggered suddenly, almost falling.

What on earth caused him to trigger this epic quest? This was a famous epic quest in God's Domain. From the information collected online and from the Underworld Guild, the difficulty of completion was unimaginable, but the rewards were extremely generous. The person who completed this quest was Ling Di Qian Huan Wan Mie, a legendary figure among summoners, ranked in the top 500 globally during his peak, and in the top 20 summoners worldwide.

Don't underestimate being in the top 500 globally. You have to know that the global population exceeds 100 billion. Although there are only over 100 million people playing God's Domain at this stage, it will exceed 10 billion players in a year, and more than 30 billion players in three years. Being ranked in the top 500 are all remarkable experts.

However, what puzzled him was why this quest was here. Qian Huan Wan Mie's birthplace wasn't in the Star-Moon Kingdom, but in the Black Dragon Empire, which was far away from the Star-Moon Kingdom. The Black Dragon Empire was much stronger than the Star-Moon Kingdom, its territory three times the size of the Star-Moon Kingdom, and the competition between players and guilds was even more intense there.

"Could it be a reward for the first clear of a Hell-mode dungeon?"

Shi Feng followed Xia Lian while secretly guessing, feeling it was very likely. Otherwise, how could he explain the appearance of this epic quest in the Star-Moon Kingdom, which originally belonged to the Black Dragon Empire.

At this moment, Shi Feng's communicator rang. Shi Feng saw that it was Bai Qianxue calling.

"Miss Bai, what's the matter?"

"I saw you came online, so I'm telling you something." Bai Qianxue's tone was indifferent, like unchanging eternal ice, not very interested in anything. "I urgently need money to buy something. I might have to delay returning the fifteen silver coins I owe you. I'll give them to you by the end of today at the latest."

"It's okay. If you're in a hurry, you can return it tomorrow." Shi Feng said calmly. He no longer cared about the fifteen silver coins Bai Qianxue owed him. He now had more than one gold coin on him and was wondering how to spend it all.

Bai Qianxue was slightly surprised, wondering why Shi Feng didn't seem to care so much about the money. However, since Shi Feng said so himself, she naturally wouldn't be polite and thanked him softly, "Thank you. But aren't you afraid that I won't return it and you'll lose everything?"

"You are the Ice-Snow Goddess, how could you scam a common player like me for such a small amount of money?" Shi Feng laughed.

"Common? You really dare to say that. Even I was surprised by the map and strategy you gave me. We cleared the Normal-mode Silent Forest in less than an hour, and then cleared the Hard mode. Unfortunately, Hell mode is too difficult, we can't get through it no matter what." Bai Qianxue chuckled lightly. "I'm curious how you cleared Hell mode. I don't believe it was your teammates' help."

In order to conquer the Hell-mode Silent Forest, she specifically had elite members from other towns rush over, but they couldn't defeat the first leader-level Wilmi. Especially Wilmi's terrifying damage, even shield warriors with a set of bronze equipment couldn't withstand it. She didn't understand how Shi Feng's team cleared it.

"Just luck." Shi Feng said truthfully.

"Since you don't want to say, forget it. I still need to compete for equipment, so I won't chat with you. Don't forget our dungeon agreement." Bai Qianxue didn't pursue why Shi Feng was able to pass, the Hard-mode Silent Forest alone had already brought them a considerable harvest.

"Competing for equipment? The Guardian Heavy Armor?" Shi Feng asked casually.

"Yes, how did you know? Are you also competing for this equipment?" Bai Qianxue nodded. The attributes of this Guardian Heavy Armor were too good. With this equipment, the level 3 Jackal dungeon wouldn't be a problem.

Shi Feng knew he had said too much, but still said calmly, "Yes, I didn't expect so many people to be competing, I've already given up."

"Indeed, it's now selling for 23 silver coins. Guilds without strong financial resources simply can't afford it. I won't talk to you anymore, I still need to sell some things." Bai Qianxue finished speaking and hung up the call.

Sitting next to Bai Qianxue, Zhao Yueru pouted her small mouth, crossed her snow-white legs, and complained, "Qianxue, why do you have to let that bad guy come to our team? That bad guy is just lucky, his skills are average. He just happened to encounter the Silent Forest, a small dungeon that wasn't greatly modified, and was lucky enough to pass the Hell difficulty. Bringing him to a twenty-man team dungeon will definitely be useless, and his team members' skill levels are simply appalling, they will definitely hinder our progress."

The elite members behind Bai Qianxue also agreed with Zhao Yueru, how could they, the elite of Snake Worship, be inferior to a group of ordinary players.

"I think Ye Feng is not simple, he must be being modest when he said he passed the dungeon by luck, his skills must be very good, it's not bad to call him over." Xiaoyue'er quietly expressed her opinion.

"You little liar, what do you know? You don't know how bad that guy is, and he spent so much time leveling up to level 1, his skills definitely aren't good. This lady can kill him with a single Fireball." Zhao Yueru glared at Xiaoyue'er, full of confidence.

"Alright, stop arguing. I feel that this Ye Feng is not simple, otherwise, how could he bring a group of newbies to the Hell-mode Silent Forest? We will naturally see his level during the team dungeon later. If his level is good, I plan to recruit him into the Tushen Army. Let's first bid for the Guardian Heavy Armor." Bai Qianxue said lightly.

Everyone immediately quieted down, full of shock. They didn't expect Bai Qianxue to have such plans, actually wanting Shi Feng to join the Tushen Army. The Tushen Army was the elite of the elite of Snake Worship, each one being a skilled and one-in-a-million expert. All the guild's resources would be prioritized for the Tushen Army. The Tushen Army was the most powerful elite corps besides the guild's president and vice president.

How many virtual experts were fighting tirelessly to join the Tushen Army, but the vast majority of people were eliminated. Now, a suddenly emerging Ye Feng had a great chance of joining, they were almost envious to death.
