Although the Shifeng was infuriated by the lies of those Assassins, they needed to calm down in the face of an unknown situation.
Even the members of a Workshop had their own selfish motives. They would definitely hide some of the key things they discovered, allowing themselves to quietly grow stronger and make a fortune.
There were many such people in a Workshop. Whether it was an outer member or a core member, after a period of time, there would always be a few particularly strong people who would suddenly rise in status. Shifeng himself was one such person. Otherwise, he would not have been promoted from a core member to the leader of a Workshop.
"After coming to the Exiled Lands, they told others that they only saw the Secret-Silver Treasure Chest and nothing else. They must have hidden something more important than the Secret-Silver Treasure Chest. Is it this Hidden Quest?" Shifeng called out the system's quest interface.
Exiled Lands' Hidden Quest, "Past Glory."
Aside from the name, there was no description of the quest. He did not know what he needed to do.
"A regionally triggered quest?" Shifeng, who had ten years of experience in God's Domain, immediately recognized the key to this Hidden Quest.
In God's Domain, there were some very special quests that could only be triggered in certain areas. Moreover, these quests did not have any content. Players needed to search for them on their own. After completing the quest, even if the next player came here, they would not trigger another quest. It could be said that these quests were very unique.
At the same time, they were also very dangerous quests.
In order to find a way to complete the quest in an unknown area, players would have to face the monsters of this unknown area. Meanwhile, the monsters in these special quests' areas would generally be several levels higher than the surrounding areas. Ordinary players would have no way of completing the quest.
In Shi Feng's previous life, he had only managed to complete the quest because six Assassins over Level 20 had come here to trigger the quest in this Level 5 monster area.
"Forget it. Since I can't leave, I might as well explore this place. At worst, I'll just die and return to the city." Shifeng strode forward after making up his mind.
Walking through the white fog, after a short moment, several blurry figures appeared before the Shifeng.
This was a city, a city that had been abandoned for many years. Dilapidated houses littered the city. Judging from the size of the city and the magnificence of the buildings, one could tell that this place used to be very prosperous. It was even more prosperous than White River City.
However, there was not a single person in this "prosperous" city.
The Shifeng quietly entered the city. While searching for clues about the quest, they also observed their surroundings for any movements.
Looking for a city that could accommodate millions of people was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The Shifeng had run through dozens of streets and entered hundreds of houses. Even after spending several hours, they were still unable to find any clues to the quest. God's Domain had just started not too long ago, and it was precisely the time to widen the gap between players and players. Yet, the Shifeng had wasted several hours. Right now, many players had already reached Level 1, while the Shifeng was still stuck at Level 2, 34%.
The Shifeng was hesitant about whether they should continue to look for clues or end the quest themselves and revive back to the city.
"Let's search for another hour. If we still can't find him, we'll return to the city." Shifeng set a time limit for himself. Even though this kind of quest was valuable, he did not have that much time to waste. He still had plenty of quests to complete, so there was no need to waste his time here.
Time slowly passed.
The Shifeng arrived at the central tower of the city. It was once a holy land for mages, and the best place to learn magic. Now, however, it was in ruins. Even the magic crystal on top of the tower had shattered.
Walking up the tower and standing on the observation deck, the Shifeng had a panoramic view of the city. If it weren't for the fact that they were pressed for time, they would have enjoyed the view for a while.
After taking a look at their surroundings, they did not discover anything special.
Just as the Shifeng was about to leave …
"Young adventurer, welcome to Sky City."
A white-bearded old man suddenly appeared, his voice filled with vicissitudes of life and wisdom. Immediately, the Shifeng jumped in fright, thinking that some kind of monster had appeared. However, after seeing the yellow symbol, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Sky City?
Thinking of this famous city in God's Domain, the Shifeng was shocked.
Sky City's name once shook the entire continent of God's Domain. There were countless Legendary Classes in the city, and the Sword Saint, Ulutia, who was a SemiGod, presided over the city. Even Gods had to be wary of the city. Unfortunately, Ulutia had fallen and disappeared during the Third God's War, becoming a regret in God's Domain.
"Respected Elder, is there anything I can help you with?" the Shifeng asked with a formal smile.
"Help?" The white-bearded old man shook his head, smiling as he said, "No, I do not need help. I believe that you definitely want to become stronger. I can help you, but are you willing to accept my test?"
"Of course, I am willing to accept the test." The Shifeng felt relieved. This was the clue to the Past Glory Quest. There was no need to die and return to the city, losing Levels and Skill Proficiency.
The old man nodded in satisfaction. Solemnly, he said, "I'll give you three choices. The first is Normal Difficulty. After clearing it, you'll obtain a Mysterious-Iron Treasure Chest. The second is Hard Difficulty. You'll obtain a Secret-Silver Treasure Chest. At the same time, depending on your Completion Rate, you'll obtain additional rewards. The third is Hell Difficulty.
"Young adventurer, which one do you choose?"
There were three choices, each harder than the last. However, the temptation was also very frightening. Six Assassins over Level 10 had chosen Hard Difficulty and received Secret-Silver Treasure Chests. However, they had chosen to hide the additional reward. This meant that the additional reward was better than the Secret-Silver Treasure Chest.
After giving it some thought, the Shifeng decided that as a reincarnator, he should have the courage to face challenges.
"Respected Elder, I choose Hell Difficulty." The Shifeng was confident that he could deal with this difficulty. If he could clear it, it would play an important role in his future development.
"Hahaha, young people are full of enthusiasm. I admire you. Don't regret your choice." The old man laughed heartily before disappearing without a trace.
System: Quest "Past Glory" accepted. Face 1,000 monsters of the same level. Kill 500 of them to pass. Time limit: 4 hours. Quest failure will result in a permanent decrease of 10 points in all Attributes.
Attributes were the foundation of a Class. If all Attributes were decreased by 10 points, this account would be useless.
"This punishment is too ruthless." The Shifeng felt his scalp itch as he looked at the countless Specter Warriors emerging from the tower.
The countdown had already begun. There were only 5 seconds left before the monsters attacked.
[Specter Warrior] (Common Monster) Level 2 HP 230/230
Dealing with one Specter Warrior was easy. However, facing a sea of Specter Warriors, even the Shifeng felt nervous.
If they rushed down directly, they would definitely be surrounded and killed. The only way was to fight them one-on-one.
The Shifeng had rich combat experience. He quickly ran down the stairs and stood on the narrow staircase.
This staircase could only allow a maximum of two monsters to pass through. It was the best place to kill them. As long as they defended the staircase, they could pass through.
When the five seconds were up, all the Specter Warriors went crazy. They all rushed into the tower, killing Xiang Shifeng with no regard for their lives. However, the staircase was very narrow. With one Specter Warrior blocking the other, the Shifeng could easily deal with two Specter Warriors. As for the Warriors' attacks, the Shifeng could easily dodge them.
Thundering Flash!
Chop!
Three streaks of lightning flashed. High damages appeared above the heads of all the Specter Warriors within a 2-by-10-yard area. The Specter Warriors instantly lost over 60 HP. In addition to the damage from Chop, the Specter Warriors received 33 damage.
The first Specter Warrior lost half of its HP. The dozens of Specter Warriors behind it lost a quarter of their HP.
Previously, when they faced high-level monsters with high Defense, the effects of Thundering Flash and Chop were greatly suppressed. Now that they faced monsters of the same level, Thundering Flash's powerful AOE damage was vividly displayed.
With the Damage Amplification effect of Thundering Flash, the Shifeng only needed five strikes to kill the first Specter Warrior.
In order to increase their killing speed, the Shifeng also activated Gravity Liberation. Their Attack Speed soared once more.
With the Damage Amplification effect, they could kill one Specter Warrior in less than three seconds.
Unfortunately, killing the Specter Warriors did not give any EXP. However, Skill Proficiency had a 100% chance of giving 1 point.
Seeing the Specter Warriors fall one after another and their Skill Proficiency continuously increasing, the Shifeng was overjoyed.
Most likely, the NPCs would never imagine that a Level 2 Swordsman could use a powerful AOE skill. He was the least afraid of crowd tactics. In a 1v2 situation, he could easily dodge the attacks.
If it were any other player, they would most likely fail the quest. However, Shi Feng could complete the quest perfectly.
After two hours, Thundering Flash's Skill Proficiency increased to 300 points, reaching Level 2. Its damage increased from 130% to 135%, and its Cooldown decreased from 30 seconds to 28 seconds.
Chop had also increased to just a little bit more, and it would reach Level 3.
Thundering Flash reaching Level 2 allowed the Shifeng's grinding speed to increase once more. The Specter Warriors fell in batches. Soon, only 20 or so Specter Warriors remained. There was still an hour and a half left.
After using Thundering Flash, the last 20 or so Specter Warriors also fell.
"Not bad, young man. This is your reward." The old man appeared once more, looking at the Shifeng with a smile. The old man then took out a Fine-Gold Treasure Chest and a pitch-black longsword.
System: Quest "Past Glory" completed. Obtained one Fine-Gold Treasure Chest, one Class-class Magic Weapon, and the title "Strength of a Thousand Men."
[Strength of a Thousand Men] When using this title, all allies within a 30-yard radius will have their Attributes increased by 10%. At the same time, player will have an additional Strength + 5 and Endurance + 5.
"The reward has been given. You may leave now." After saying so, the old man lightly waved his hand.
Shifeng's vision blurred. When he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the plaza of Red Leaf Town.
Beep! Beep!
"Brother Feng, you finally picked up. Why couldn't I contact you before? I'm one level behind the others. What should I do now? "Hei Zi was extremely anxious. However, due to Shifeng's trust, he still patiently asked.
For the sake of running away, he had spent over 7 hours. Currently, the streets were filled with Level 1 players, yet he was still Level 0. How was he supposed to catch up with such a gap? Even if he tried to form a party right now, nobody would want him. The minimum requirement for others was Level 1. As for a Level 0 noob, he should just stand aside.
"I'm sorry. I was doing a Quest. Come to the central plaza. I'll help you level up." Shifeng said apologetically.
The Quest had taken him over 5 hours. God's Domain had already been open for over 8 hours. Currently, many players had already reached Level 1. If it was a professional player, they might not be too far away from reaching Level 2.
