Shifeng exchanged all the Common and Rare Herbs for Thank You Gifts in one go.
Suddenly, Shifeng noticed a slight change in Grand Duke Hartfield's gaze.
Hartfield's originally stern expression seemed to have softened significantly.
"Am I imagining things?" After Shifeng's brain activity had increased, his five senses and intuition had become extraordinarily sharp.
High-tiered NPCs in God's Domain possessed very high intellect, much higher than ordinary people. This was especially true for a Level 200, Tier 3 NPC like Grand Duke Hartfield. Although Hartfield was not as strong as White River City's Magistrate Weissman, Weissman did not dare offend Grand Duke Hartfield.
After all, Grand Duke Hartfield was the only Grand Duke in the entire Starmoon Kingdom. Everyone else was a Duke. In the entire Starmoon Kingdom, Grand Duke Hartfield's status was only second to the King and Starmoon Kingdom's Grand Marshal, Adolf Serret. One was responsible for internal affairs, while the other was responsible for external affairs.
If Shi Feng could form a relationship with Grand Duke Hartfield, his development in the Starmoon Kingdom would be greatly beneficial in the future.
"Forget it. I should focus on increasing my Reputation."
Shifeng shook his head. He then left the Grand Duke's mansion and continued to collect Herbs.
The Thank You Gifts did not take up much space. Each stack contained 1,000 Thank You Gifts. Shifeng had exchanged a total of 2,500 Thank You Gifts, which only took up three slots.
Once again, Shi Feng arrived at the market in front of the Palace.
Sure enough, the players selling Herbs were still there. When they saw Shifeng, they all took the initiative to greet him.
After a short moment, Shifeng's bag was full once more. He then continued to exchange for Thank You Gifts.
After several hours, Shi Feng had purchased nearly half of all the herbs in Star-Moon City. He had spent over 400 Gold Coins. Originally, Shifeng had intended to continue purchasing Herbs. However, his high-profile actions immediately attracted the attention of many players. These players began to secretly inquire about Shifeng's reason for purchasing Herbs.
After all, the various large Guilds did not lack Herbs. Even if their Guilds nurtured many alchemists, they would not be able to purchase Herbs. Even if they had many alchemists, they would not need to purchase so many Herbs.
"It's about time to stop." Shifeng glanced at the assassins in the distance.
Every time he visited the Grand Duke's house, the Shifeng would first find a place to disguise himself before heading over. Even if the players tailing him were powerful, without a particularly high-level Identification Skill like Omniscient Eyes, they would not discover the Shifeng's disguise.
In fact, Shifeng didn't need to care about these people. Even if the matter of the Grand Duke was discovered, no guild would be willing to spend so much money in exchange for experience. Not to mention exchanging for 1500 sets of herbs. But to be safe, he didn't want these people to know about the method of exchanging money for reputation too early.
After collecting the last batch of herbs, Shifeng left the market and found a restaurant. Using the Demon Mask to disguise himself, he strode out of the restaurant and headed for Grand Duke Hartfield's residence.
In the Grand Duke's house. Shifeng habitually walked up to Grand Duke Hartfield. He then took out the last 1,000 sets of Common Herbs and 1,000 sets of Rare Herbs from his bag and exchanged them all for Thank You Gifts.
Suddenly, the familiar sound of a system notification entered Shifeng's ears.
System: Grand Duke Hartfield's Favorability has increased by 30 points.
Sure enough, this special quest isn't simple. Shifeng's expression grew slightly excited when he saw the system notification.
The higher the level of an NPC, the more difficult it was to increase their Favorability. Compared to the 300-plus Gold he had spent, the 30 points he could raise Grand Duke Hartfield's Favorability was insignificant.
However, after giving the matter some thought, Shi Feng found it reasonable. He had already exchanged for nearly 120,000 Thank You Gifts. Even if each set of Thank You Gifts cost 1,000 sets, he would have 120 sets on him. Currently, God's Domain's players were not very high-leveled, so they did not use many Herbs. If he waited another half a month, he would most likely have to spend several times more money …
If Grand Duke Hartfield did not express his gratitude to Shi Feng, he would have to be cold-hearted.
"Young adventurer, thank you for your generous donation. With so many Herbs, I will definitely be able to extract enough Plant Essence to cure my daughter. As thanks, I have collected many treasures in my treasury. You can use the Thank You Gifts to exchange for any of them," Grand Duke Hartfield said happily.
"Lord Hartfield, it would be my honor." Shifeng was overjoyed when he heard Hartfield's words.
Originally, he had intended to open the Thank You Gifts together. He had never imagined that the Thank You Gifts could be used in such a way. He could exchange for items in the Grand Duke's treasury. Most likely, not even the several wealthy players in the past had exchanged so many Herbs.
"Steward, take this adventurer to have a look," Grand Duke Hartfield said.
"Yes, sir." The Head Butler then led Shifeng to the treasury's third floor.
The treasury's defenses were extremely tight. The six White Knights guarding the treasury's entrance were all Level 200, Tier 3 Judgement Knights. Not to mention, the magic array protecting the treasury was a Tier 5 magic array. Even a Tier 4 player would need a considerable amount of time to break through it.
After entering the treasury, Shi Feng found that the treasury was like a museum with many treasures displayed on display.
"This is the list of treasures. You can exchange for any of the items listed," the Head Butler said as he took out a list and handed it to Shifeng.
There were not many items listed, but Shifeng was not surprised.
Grand Duke Hartfield's Favorability toward him was only 30 points. The fact that the Grand Duke was willing to exchange for treasures was already impressive. If he wished to exchange for all of the items listed, he would need to have at least 300 Favorability.
Shifeng then checked the list of treasures available for exchange. Sure enough, the items available for exchange were very ordinary. Most of them were weapons and equipment of his level, and their quality was between Secret-Silver and Fine-Gold rank. Moreover, they were not cheap. Even the most ordinary piece of Level 25 Secret-Silver Equipment cost 1,000 Thank You Gifts, which was 4 Gold. If not for the herbs he sold at such a low price, he would have sold them for at least 8 Gold.
Moreover, the Level 25 Secret-Silver and Fine-Gold Equipment were all individual pieces, not set equipment. They would not be of much help to him.
Just as Shifeng felt that he had not obtained anything useful, he suddenly discovered a very familiar item at the end of the list. "Isn't this the Twilight Treasure Chest?"
The Twilight Treasure Chest was very famous in God's Domain. It was also known as a Lucky Treasure Chest. It was an Indiscriminate Treasure Chest, and only Elite monsters above Level 30 had a very small chance of dropping it.
The reason why it was called an Indiscriminate Treasure Chest was because the items it obtained were very random. The smallest items could be two or three Copper Coins or trash, while the largest items could be Epic or even Fragmented Legendary items.
Many people would sell the Twilight Treasure Chest in the Auction House after killing a monster and place a high bid for it. Generally, the Twilight Treasure Chest only sold for around 1 Gold.
Meanwhile, the Twilight Treasure Chest before him required 100 Thank You Gifts. In other words, each Twilight Treasure Chest cost 40 Silver. The price was much cheaper.
