Chapter 1 After Entering the Library

After Shi Feng and Siyu Qingxuan entered the library.

Siyu Qingxuan's beautiful eyes flickered with astonishment after seeing the magnificent scene inside the library.

The inside of the library was like a fantastical world. Countless documents and materials lined the walls on each floor, and in the center was a giant, transparent water sphere. This massive water sphere was like a supercomputer, capable of searching for all the information in the Star-Moon Kingdom.

Around the water sphere were many open-air meditation rooms made of magic crystals, where players could study magic skills or practice using them.

Researching new magic skills was generally something only Tier 3 or higher magic-type classes did. Players at this stage didn't understand magic very well, so they couldn't study it. Moreover, the magic they used was entry-level. However, as their levels increased, the use of magic would become more and more complex. Without a certain understanding of these magics, there was no way to use high-level magic.

This led many magic-type players to give up their adventure careers in God's Domain and switch to lifestyle professions.

In fact, it wasn't just magic; the same was true for combat techniques. The more powerful the combat technique, the higher the required operating skills. Because of this, it also reflected the difference in individual player strength. Why could some people advance to Tier 5 jobs, while others couldn't improve after reaching Tier 3? It was actually the difference in individual skill.

Although raising levels and attributes would help to some extent, these aids became smaller and smaller as time went on.

This was also why divine-level powerhouses were so rare.

The reason Shi Feng exercised every day and spent a lot of money buying nutritional potions to improve his physical fitness was to improve his brain potential and brain activity. Only by further developing the brain's potential could he control his body in the game, gain extraordinary combat power, advance to Tier 5 jobs, and reach the pinnacle of God's Domain by impacting the Tier 6 divine throne.

"Let's split up here. I still need to find someone. If you want to learn advanced skills, the Tier 2 instructor over there can help you," Shi Feng said, pointing to an old white-robed mage beside the giant water sphere.

"Thank you." Siyu Qingxuan seemed a little embarrassed at this time. She had originally wanted to help Shi Feng, but unexpectedly, Shi Feng had helped her a lot. "Seeing how familiar you are with God's Domain, are you a professional player?"

"I guess so," Shi Feng nodded.

"Then let's add each other as friends. I usually don't play games much, and I just buy equipment in games. In the future, if I want to buy equipment or do quests, it will be easier to find you." Siyu Qingxuan smiled sweetly and submitted a friend request.

"Okay, but if you want to do quests, it's best to contact me in advance," Shi Feng clicked to accept the friend request.

He didn't expect that coming to accept a quest would actually lead to meeting a potential female customer.

After the studio officially started operating, in addition to running dungeons and getting equipment, it would be necessary to find financial backers and various sponsoring companies to make money. However, it was extremely difficult for a studio to get sponsorships from large companies. Generally, they relied on these players willing to spend a lot of money to support them. Only by becoming a large guild was it possible to get sponsorships from large companies and make big money.

Although Shi Feng's studio had not officially started operating yet, it was quite lucky to have a customer come to his door now.

After Shi Feng left, Siyu Qingxuan also looked at Shi Feng's ID name.

"Hmm, he is Ye Feng, the number one expert in White River City?"

Because Shi Feng always hid his ID, it would only truly appear after adding him as a friend.

Although Siyu Qingxuan was not a game expert and didn't know much about the game world, Shi Feng's name had long been a sensation in White River City, and he was known as the number one free player and a god-level expert in White River City.

The deluxe version of the White River City guide she bought was written by Shi Feng. How could she not know?

"No wonder I felt a little familiar when I saw him. So he is Ye Feng. This is really interesting." Siyu Qingxuan was lost in thought, her red lips slightly curved, not knowing what she was thinking.

The top floor of the library, the Star-Moon Hall.

Although the entrance to the Star-Moon Hall was guarded by Tier 1 knights of level 180, making it very strict, and even ordinary nobles could not enter at will, these knights did not stop Shi Feng.

Instead, they directly opened the crystal gate and let Shi Feng in.

"I've been waiting for you here for so long. Why are you only coming now?" Xia Lian, sitting high behind a crystal stone table, looked at Shi Feng and smiled charmingly. Her pure white, exquisite, and luxurious robe emitted a faint silver halo, making her seem as noble and sacred as a saint of light. Underneath the flawless white robe, a slender thigh was raised, revealing fair and delicate skin that was captivating. It was as if Xia Lian was deliberately teasing Shi Feng.

At this time, Xia Lian was no longer a Tier 3 cleric of level 20, but a Tier 3 cleric of level 180. It could be said that her current level was Xia Lian's true strength. Apart from the few Tier 4 overlords in White River City, Xia Lian was probably the number one person in White River City.

"What are you staring at? Come and sit. We have time to chat slowly," Xia Lian smiled lightly and pointed to the empty seat beside her.

Shi Feng instinctively felt a chill all over his body when facing a money-grubber like Xia Lian, feeling as if he was being targeted by a nine-tailed fox, and his wallet was not safe.

However, for the sake of the epic quest clues, Shi Feng still walked over and sat beside Xia Lian.

Shi Feng took out 10 gold coins and placed them on the table, and asked softly: "Honorable Lady Xia Lian, I have brought 10 gold coins. I wonder if you can tell me the location of the Book of Darkness?"

Xia Lian waved her jade hand, and the gold coins on the stone table flew into her hand. She smiled and played with the shiny gold coins in her hand.

"I didn't expect you to make money so fast. I really underestimated you," Xia Lian said slowly after putting away the gold coins, "But I have another new message now. I wonder if you are interested? And this information is very accurate and will definitely help you find the location of the Book of Darkness."

The corner of Shi Feng's mouth twitched involuntarily.

This was the rhythm of a money-grubber.

"Speak, how much do you want?" Shi Feng really regretted it, because the solid stone sold so well, he now had more than seventy gold. He should have put it in the bank.

However, there was another possibility, that is, players' gold coins must reach a certain amount to trigger another clue, and Shi Feng undoubtedly reached this indicator.

"Not much, just add 40 more gold coins. Of course, you can also choose not to listen, but if you want to find the earliest clue, it's not that I'm being nosy, but it's impossible for you to complete it. Are you sure you don't want to listen to this new clue?" Xia Lian blinked at Shi Feng, radiating pure holy light, just like the Virgin Mary, making it unbearable to refuse.

A total of fifty gold coins.

Shi Feng really wanted to shout, why don't you just go rob someone?

But Shi Feng held back. As long as he could get the reward for the epic quest, spending fifty gold was nothing.

"Here are forty gold." Shi Feng gritted his teeth and took out forty shiny gold coins and placed them on the stone table, instantly piling them into a small golden mountain.

Xia Lian's eyes lit up when she saw the small golden mountain. After collecting all the gold coins, she slowly took out a contract and handed it to Shi Feng, and said slowly: "This is the contract of the Star-Mark Merchant Firm in White River City. As long as you take the contract to Guild Leader Henry, he has a way to let you go to the Dark Demon Cave."
