Chapter 1 The Rewards

Shi Feng was stunned after reading the new system notification.

The Blacksmith Thorne’s Favorability had actually increased to 1000 points, reaching Reverence.

System: Congratulations to the player for being the first to achieve the NPC Favorability Reverence achievement, rewarding one Mysterious-Iron Treasure Chest.

"My luck is unstoppable, I wonder what I'll get." Shi Feng couldn't wait to open the exquisite Mysterious-Iron Treasure Chest.

Inside the treasure chest were a piece of equipment and an accessory.

Umbra Chaser's Cloak, Mithril Rank, Equipment Requirement: 70 Agility, Defense +20, Strength +4, Agility +8, Endurance +4, Movement Speed +2, Evasion +6. Additional Skill: Silent Steps, allowing the user to silently flash behind the target, with a maximum distance of 40 yards, cooldown time of 3 minutes.

Interpreter's Pendant, Mysterious-Iron Rank, Equipment Requirement: 30 Intelligence, Equipment Level 7, Intelligence +6, Endurance +2, Magic Damage increased by 5%.

These two pieces of equipment are extremely rare at the moment, especially the Umbra Chaser's Cloak, which is very suitable for weapon-based classes. Just equipping it can greatly improve one's strength. The Silent Steps skill is like a mage's Blink or an assassin's Shadow Step, a perfect piece of equipment for PK (player versus player combat).

The Interpreter's Pendant is an even more amazing accessory. Just the 5% increase in magic damage is enough for magic classes to wear it until level 20 without feeling like their equipment is outdated.

"I'll give this accessory to Hei Zi." Shi Feng thought for a moment. Hei Zi was the most reliable, and he was also a magic class. As for the cloak, he couldn't wear it yet. The 70 Agility requirement was too high. He would have to wait until at least level 10 to be able to wear it.

Seeing this equipment, Shi Feng suddenly remembered that he was already level 5. With the Abyssal Blade's stats, and adding the 6 free stat points to Strength, he could equip the Silvermoon Set.

Equipping the best swordsman set below level 10 at level 5 would make his stats invincible, making it much easier to do quests.

With that, Shi Feng added all the free stat points to Strength, then took out the five pieces of the Silvermoon Set and put them on. Because he had reached level 5, he had unlocked the swordsman's dual-wielding talent, allowing him to equip two one-handed swords. He then equipped the Mithril-ranked Blood Red Blade, which he had been keeping hidden, on his off-hand.

After equipping everything, Shi Feng was amazed by his own stats. Probably no other player in God's Domain had such stats right now.

Not to mention the Silvermoon Set's effects.

Effect One: Attack +15, Defense +30.

Effect Two: HP increased by 10%, level two Life Shield, after activation, it has a Life Shield that absorbs 60% of the damage, the maximum absorption is 500, cooldown time is 5 minutes.

Effect Three: All damage received is reduced by 10%, and attack speed is increased by 10%.

Shi Feng's HP was now close to a thousand points. With these three effects, he could tank better than an MT (main tank), and his damage output was greatly increased.

In a silver-white armor, with the jet-black Abyssal Blade hanging on one side of his waist and the bright-red Blood Red Blade on the other, he looked like a brave warrior walking in the world.

It was still early for the agreed time, so Shi Feng took on two high-level quests in Stone Hammer Town, both of which were to hunt level 10 Two-Headed Snakes, requiring 20 snake galls and 30 venomous fangs. Completing the quest would reward rare ores and forging materials, which were necessary items for forging Mysterious-Iron equipment and weapons, and were usually extremely difficult to find.

After spending more than twenty minutes running all the way, Shi Feng finally arrived at a desert oasis, where a group of Two-Headed Snakes surrounded the oasis.

Two-Headed Snake, Common Rank, Level 10, HP 950.

Despite the Two-Headed Snake's low HP, ordinary level 10 players really didn't have the ability to kill it alone and usually needed help.

Once a monster's level in God's Domain reached 10, there would be a qualitative change. Their attack methods were very flexible and free, and they could also defend, which was a characteristic that ordinary monsters below level 10 didn't have. Without a lot of combat experience, ordinary players would find it difficult to resist or dodge these attacks. In addition, the attacks would come with some special skills, and a little carelessness could cost a player their life.

The Two-Headed Snake's attack pattern was usually one head attacking and one head defending, making it difficult for a single player to deal damage to it. In addition, the Deadly Venomous Fangs skill, if bitten, would cause poisoning, dealing 50 damage per second for 15 seconds. Without an antidote, it would almost kill an ordinary player.

Shi Feng slowly approached.

Before he was even 20 yards away, the man-sized Two-Headed Snake stuck out its tongue and charged towards Shi Feng.

Since he had been discovered, Shi Feng also took the initiative to charge over.

Wind Chasing Sword!

The Abyssal Blade turned into a black flash, stabbing towards the Two-Headed Snake's vitals. The Two-Headed Snake reacted extremely quickly. One head bit the Abyssal Blade, preventing it from moving, while the other head opened its mouth wide, and the sharp venomous fangs dripped with emerald-green venom, biting towards Shi Feng.

Shi Feng waved the Blood Red Blade in his other hand, turning it into a red flash and slashing upwards.

With a bang.

The Two-Headed Snake was knocked back, and a damage number of more than sixty points appeared on its head. On the other hand, Shi Feng only lost a little over ten points of HP and didn't take a step back. Then, the Abyssal Blade slashed at the undefended abdomen of the Two-Headed Snake, directly dealing 96 damage and triggering the Abyssal Blade's ability, causing the Two-Headed Snake's stats to plummet.

But this wasn't the end. Shi Feng then waved the Blood Red Blade and stabbed it into the Two-Headed Snake's vitals again, dealing another 112 damage.

By the time the Two-Headed Snake reacted, its HP was only half full.

When one snake head bit towards Shi Feng, Shi Feng dodged to the side and charged forward, preventing the other snake head from attacking or defending.

Double Chop!

The Abyssal Blade and the Blood Red Blade were deeply embedded in the abdomen of the Two-Headed Snake, and with a sudden pull and slash, they left two long cuts.

-156, -132 two damage numbers emerged from the head of the Two-Headed Snake, followed by a Bloodletting Buff.

The Two-Headed Snake wanted to counterattack, but unfortunately, it died of blood loss before it even reached Shi Feng.

System: Killed a Two-Headed Snake, killing a monster 5 levels higher, experience increased by 500%, gaining 1000 experience.

The Two-Headed Snake then contributed a snake gall to Shi Feng.

Throughout the entire kill, Shi Feng didn't use any skills and mostly used normal attacks to easily take down a level 10 monster. However, Shi Feng wasn't very satisfied, especially with the first stab, which was actually blocked by the Two-Headed Snake. Otherwise, a series of combos would have taken away the Two-Headed Snake.

Then, Shi Feng began to look for the next target.

An hour later, Shi Feng had killed more than forty Two-Headed Snakes, and his experience had soared to 5th level 81%, the leveling speed was like a rocket, even faster than forging equipment.

I have to say, with a set of Silvermoon equipment, plus two top-quality weapons, killing monsters above his level was really easy. At this rate, he could reach level 6 in less than an hour.

"There are still 3 snake galls and five venomous fangs missing, but all the Two-Headed Snakes in this area have been killed. I'm afraid I'll have to wait a while for them to respawn." Shi Feng looked around, and there wasn't a single Two-Headed Snake.

Shi Feng had no choice but to run to the other side to farm Two-Headed Snakes.

But just a few steps away, three Two-Headed Snakes came out of the oasis. One of them was larger and had horns on its head. This was the Snake King patrolling the territory.

"Hmm, a rare elite?" Shi Feng looked at the Snake King and licked his lips, revealing a smile. Rare elites weren't seen often, they appeared randomly, and their strength was a little stronger than ordinary elites, and their drops were extremely good. Meeting one was all luck.
