Chapter 1 A Beginning

Shi Feng was slightly surprised to see this series of system prompts.

Ten thousand experience points wasn't much for him at level 4, only raising him to 27% of level 4, still quite a distance from level 5.

However, the other things caught his eye.

Just killing a stupid elite demon could yield such a generous reputation reward; it was almost unimaginable.

Reputation was very valuable in God's Domain. Few quests increased reputation, and even those that did offered very little.

With enough reputation, he could accept high-level quests that were normally unavailable. He could also buy things that were normally unavailable, such as bronze equipment and special potions. He could also get discounts on purchases and improve his favor with NPCs, bringing many conveniences.

Not to mention becoming a noble once he reached a certain level.

In God's Domain, the noble class enjoyed many privileges, which was a symbol of status. If a commoner provoked a noble, the consequences would be severe, ranging from imprisonment to execution. That's why no player dared to provoke a noble. Even if a noble beat up a commoner in a safe zone, the guards wouldn't interfere; that was the difference in status.

This was why Shi Feng was surprised.

Having the title of Red Leaf Town noble would make things much easier in the future. Shi Feng thought of several high-level quests that only nobles could accept.

"I wonder what this Demon Hunter title is for?" Shi Feng clicked on the system bar and checked the Demon Hunter title.

Demon Hunter, a fearsome warrior, a respected exorcist, possessing a noble-like status everywhere, a grim reaper feared by dark creatures. It could reduce the attributes of dark-type monsters within a 100-yard radius by 10% and increase damage against dark-type monsters by 10%.

"Damn, this title is awesome." Shi Feng was a little excited after reading the introduction.

If someone didn't have a good understanding of God's Domain, they wouldn't know the meaning of this title, just like a stray dog not knowing the value of a gem.

His reputation in Red Leaf Town had to reach 100 points before he became a noble, but this nobility was limited to Red Leaf Town. Outside of Red Leaf Town, no one would acknowledge it.

Of course, if he was a noble of White River City, he would be acknowledged within the jurisdiction of White River City, which was much broader. The difference between the two was obvious.

The Demon Hunter, however, had noble status everywhere, meaning that his noble status would be recognized in other countries outside of the Star-Moon Kingdom. The various countries weren't very friendly, and some were even hostile. It wasn't easy to do quests in other countries, and it was easy to be targeted. With this title, he wouldn't be targeted by NPCs. That was the value of the Demon Hunter title, compared to which the Red Leaf Town noble title was nothing.

Shi Feng picked up the equipment dropped by the demon's avatar.

Demon Mask, a special item that could disguise the wearer as another person. Without high-level observation skills, the disguise couldn't be detected.

"This is a great item, worth the 6 gold." Shi Feng happily put away the Demon Mask. This item was simply an artifact for robbing and looting. Although he wouldn't do that, it didn't prevent him from using it for other things.

"Adventurer, the ritual is complete. This ritual has weakened me quite a bit. I need to go to White River City to recuperate for a while. If you want to know the news about the Dark Scripture, bring your reward and find me in White River City. I will be waiting for you there." Xia Lian looked very weak at this time, completely lacking her usual shrewdness. After speaking, she directly opened a magic teleportation gate and went to White River City to recuperate.

Looking at Xia Lian's departing figure, Shi Feng secretly marveled.

This time, the Ritual of the Moon's Drop was not as simple as he had imagined. Otherwise, a Tier 3 Priest wouldn't be so weak. Even Shi Feng could feel that he could defeat Xia Lian now, which showed how weak Xia Lian was.

"Forget it, these things have nothing to do with me. Now that the curse is lifted and my attributes are restored, I can start leveling up quickly. I can reach level 10 earlier and open the teleportation gate to White River City sooner." Shi Feng shrugged his shoulders and stopped thinking about the affairs of big shots. He, a small character, still had many things to do. Starting from scratch, everything needed to be rebuilt. Not to mention competing with those guilds, just being targeted by a Great Demon was enough of a headache. He didn't have the time to think about other things.

Then, Shi Feng left the library and went to the Chef Association to see how Ziyan Liuyun was doing.

Red Leaf Town Trade Area.

As soon as Shi Feng walked in, he felt that something was wrong.

Now that the sun had risen, players should be out leveling up in the wilderness, but the streets were full of players talking and arguing, extremely heated, as if they were celebrating a festival. From time to time, he could see high-level members of some large guilds running onto the streets, urgently shouting for high-priced purchases of game coins. The more game coins, the higher the price.

If he saw this normally, Shi Feng wouldn't care, but the streets were full of people buying game coins, which was a bit abnormal.

What exactly happened?

The guild leaders were starting to distribute game coins to ordinary players. In theory, these large guilds had their own coin farming teams or signed contracts with professional coin farming teams, so they could get a lot of game coins. This meant that even the game coins provided by the coin farming teams were in short supply.

Originally, Shi Feng was still worrying about how to promote the consumption of these big guilds, but now it seemed like it was unnecessary.

Shi Feng waved his finger and opened the virtual transaction center to check the transaction situation.

"What the hell, what's going on? It's sold out so quickly!" Shi Feng looked at the remaining 2 gold and 70 silver that had been sold, and over 15,000 credits were being transferred.

So he clicked on the sales situation of other God's Domain game coins.

The highest price for 1 silver coin had reached 72 credits, and most people were buying in large quantities at 68 credits. The price had increased by more than a little.

Just as Shi Feng was happy about selling all the gold coins, a scolding came from behind him, interrupting Shi Feng's good mood.

"Big brother, it's that guy. The day before yesterday, I saw him easily take out ten silver coins. He must be rich. Now that our guild needs money so much, if we don't let this kid cough up some blood, how can we be worthy of me being locked up for so long?" Ximen Piaoxue said with a sneer, pointing at Shi Feng with a group of people.

"Kid, you're the one who beat my brother?" The person called big brother snorted coldly and looked at Shi Feng, questioning him.

Shi Feng turned his head and frowned slightly.

The person called big brother was tall and sturdy, comparable to a Coke bottle, with a face full of橫肉 (hengrou, excess flesh), around thirty years old. In his previous life, Shi Feng had dealt with him. His name was Tie Jian Kuangshi (Iron Sword Mad Lion), also a swordsman, one of the top experts of the Martial Alliance. He was very strong. They had fought a few times in the wilderness over monster spawns, and he had killed Yanhu (Flame Tiger) twice, causing their team heavy losses several times, forcing them to flee in disgrace.

Even Assassin's Alliance's Cixin (Thorn Heart) had suffered a loss at the hands of Tie Jian Kuangshi. From then on, Tie Jian Kuangshi's reputation soared, allowing the Martial Alliance to rise to the ranks of a third-rate guild.

Shi Feng was about to say something, but Tie Jian Kuangshi interrupted him.

Tie Jian Kuangshi looked at Shi Feng, who was thin and weak, but his equipment was good. However, he didn't have the aura of an expert, and he didn't have a guild emblem on him. He judged that Shi Feng was a casual player, a fat sheep who bought some equipment and wanted to show off. He immediately said proudly: "Little brother, what goes around comes around. Since you beat my subordinate, pay 20 silver coins, and this matter is over. Otherwise, don't blame my sword for being merciless."

ps: Thank you s_bdchen for the 588 reward and zxc, zp for the 100 reward.
