Chapter 1 The Unremarkable Workshop

The Dahl Workshop was unremarkable among the many workshops in the port market, yet it was the oldest workshop in Seawatch Town, founded by the engineering grandmaster Dahl and passed down for more than three hundred years.

Logically, a workshop founded by an engineering grandmaster, even if not a household name in the Apocalypse Empire, should have been the most famous workshop in Seawatch Town.

All of this was because the successors were not as good as the previous generation, which ultimately led to the decline of the workshop, and no one even remembered the glory of the Dahl Workshop.

However, the current successor had a good talent. After inheriting Dahl's engineering notes, he had been devoted to studying them, wanting to break through to the master level.

And this hidden quest was to help the current successor, Rodney, become an engineering master.

If successful, the player would be rewarded with a Bronze-tier speedboat.

In God's Domain, the value of a Bronze-tier speedboat was comparable to an Epic-tier item.

Ordinary speedboats could accommodate two small teams, and their speed was 20% faster than the best fishing boats. They also possessed acceleration skills and the passive skill of Riding the Waves, making them essential items for sea adventures.

The Bronze-tier speedboat could accommodate a twenty-person team, and its speed and durability were 15% higher than ordinary speedboats. It also possessed attack capabilities, making it more than twice as capable of saving lives at sea as ordinary speedboats. Back then, that player relied on a Bronze-tier speedboat to build a very good sea adventure team, which could venture into dangerous sea areas that other players dared not go to, and gained a reputation in the Apocalypse Empire.

After Shi Feng entered the Dahl Workshop, he suddenly found that there were already several players waiting in the workshop the size of a basketball court. When they saw Shi Feng come in, they were all full of hostility.

"As expected, it was discovered by someone else," Shi Feng sighed involuntarily.

But thinking about it, it was normal. Seawatch Town was not that big, but there were many players who came here to level up, including many experts. It was normal to discover this hidden quest.

The free players in the workshop were such experts. There were five in total, and the lowest level was 39, and there was also an expert with a level as high as 40. These five people were obviously divided into two groups, one led by a level 40 Ranger, and the other led by a level 39 Oracle.

These people's equipment was very good. Although they were just free players, their equipment was all Mithril-tier or higher at level 35, and most of them were Fine-Gold equipment at level 35, which was already top-tier equipment among free players.

Although there were two teams of experts who had accepted the quest, Shi Feng didn't care and went straight to a shop assistant who was level 70.

"Hello, I would like to see your shopkeeper," Shi Feng said with a smile.

Any player could accept this hidden quest, but only the player who ultimately helped Rodney become an engineering master could get the final reward, and the first step was to see the shopkeeper Rodney first.

However, just as Shi Feng made a request to see the shopkeeper, the level 40 Ranger, who was waiting quietly on a stone chair, scoffed.

Wanting to see the shopkeeper with just empty words was simply a dream.

Ordinary people would definitely think that the shop assistant was just an ordinary shop assistant, but that was not the case at all. He was Rodney's apprentice. If one couldn't pass the apprentice's test, it was impossible to see Rodney.

In order to see Rodney, they had spent a lot of effort, taking a full four days to gradually increase their favorability, and finally they were introduced to Rodney by this apprentice to help Rodney realize his wish.

"Respected Guardian, I will go in and notify my master right away, please wait a moment," the shop assistant just glanced at Shi Feng, who was wearing a black cloak, and immediately became extremely respectful.

A great noble of the city!

Even a real engineering master had to give some face, let alone a senior engineer like Rodney.

"No way!"

"How could he see Rodney so easily?"

The five people waiting quietly couldn't help but widen their eyes, and they couldn't believe this was true.

Before the five people could react, they heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from the second floor, and then they saw a middle-aged man with disheveled hair like a beggar walking down.

"How is this possible? Didn't they say Rodney was very busy?"

"Damn, who is this person? Could he be a great god-level player?"

The five people waiting were dumbfounded. They came to the Dahl Workshop to see Rodney, but because Rodney was making something, if they wanted to see Rodney, they could only wait slowly in the shop, but they had been waiting for more than an hour and had not seen Rodney. Shi Feng's words had called Rodney out…

"Respected Guardian, I, Rodney, am the shopkeeper of this workshop. May I ask what you need from me?" Rodney's expression changed from his previous seriousness when he saw Shi Feng, replaced by respect.

"I heard that you have always wanted to advance to engineering master, and I have a way to help you advance smoothly. I wonder if you are interested?" Shi Feng was not at all surprised by Rodney's respect. A senior title was not a joke. The status he enjoyed was not something Rodney could compare to, so there was no need to be polite and waste time.

When Rodney heard Shi Feng's suggestion, his eyes lit up, clearly showing great interest.

"Respected Guardian, if I can advance to engineering master, I am willing to pay any price. Please guide me, sir," Rodney said, bowing, his eyes full of longing.

It could be said that becoming an engineering master was his lifelong wish, and he also wanted to revitalize the Dahl Workshop in his hands.

Immediately, a system prompt sounded in Shi Feng's ear.

System: Player has triggered the unique hidden quest "Dream of a Master", help Rodney become an engineering master, reward unknown.

"This is simple, let's go upstairs and talk," Shi Feng said with a smile.

Although the quest he triggered this time was slightly different from the name of the quest he knew in his previous life, the things to be done were the same.

"Please, sir!" Rodney quickly led the way for Shi Feng upon hearing this.

"That… Lord Rodney… we…" At this time, the five people waiting were a little uneasy.

"You guys wait here for a while, I have something to discuss with this sir," Rodney said with some displeasure.

Immediately, the five people didn't dare to speak. If they said more and angered Rodney, they were afraid that they wouldn't even be able to do the quest.

"Who on earth is this person?"

"He's so awesome at accepting quests. I wish I could get to know him."

"I wonder if this great god accepts disciples?"

They had accepted many high-level quests, but it was the first time they had seen someone accept a quest like this, actually having an NPC beg to give him a quest…

…

Arriving at the hall on the second floor, the entire hall was filled with various rare materials, as well as many rare engineering tools.

"Respected Guardian, I wonder what I need to do to advance to engineering master?" Rodney asked eagerly after sitting down.
